# Description of Changes
### What was changed
- Updated `BASE_VERSION` references in:
- `docker/backend/Dockerfile`
- `docker/embedded/Dockerfile`
- `docker/embedded/Dockerfile.fat`
- Pinned `stirlingtools/stirling-pdf-base:1.0.2` to a specific SHA256
digest.
- Pinned the `eclipse-temurin:25-jre-noble` image used in the
`jar-extract` stage to a specific SHA256 digest.
- Pinned the `ghcr.io/astral-sh/uv:python3.13-bookworm-slim` image in
`engine/Dockerfile.dev` to a specific SHA256 digest.
- Removed reliance on mutable image tags alone for these build stages.
### Why the change was made
- Ensure deterministic and reproducible Docker builds.
- Prevent unexpected changes caused by upstream image tag updates.
- Improve supply chain integrity by explicitly defining the exact image
artifacts used during builds.
- Align container build practices with security and compliance
recommendations.

# Description of Changes
Redesign the Python AI engine to be properly agentic and make use of
`pydantic-ai` instead of `langchain` for correctness and ergonomics.
This should be a good foundation for us to build our AI engine on going
forwards.
