# ==============================================================================
# DISTROLESS RUNNERS IMAGE
# ==============================================================================
# This is a distroless variant of docker/images/runners/Dockerfile, intended
# for cloud deployments. It removes all shell, package managers, and system
# utilities for security hardening.
#
# Key differences:
# - Uses Debian-based builders (glibc instead of musl)
# - Final image is Google's distroless/cc-debian12
# - Extra runtime-prep stage to organize filesystem
# - Uses distroless nonroot user (UID 65532)
