Addresses the review finding that buildah lived only in the orchestrator
image, so the persistent infra VM wasn't the builder — a separate throwaway
builder VM contended with it for the orchestrator TAP. Consolidate:
- **Rebase the gateway (and thus infra) on `python:3.12-slim` = Debian
trixie**, pip-installing mitmproxy instead of `FROM mitmproxy/mitmproxy`
(Debian bookworm). trixie ships buildah 1.39, which can build agent
Dockerfiles that use heredocs; bookworm's 1.28 can't (`Unknown
instruction: "{"`). CA path is unchanged (set via `--set confdir=`).
- **buildah lives only in `Dockerfile.infra`** now (removed from the
orchestrator image, which is lean/stdlib-only again).
- **Shared orchestrator content**: `Dockerfile.orchestrator` is the single
definition of the control-plane payload; the infra image `COPY --from`s
it (same trixie base → clean copy, and future deps like iroh are added
once). The docker backend runs the orchestrator image directly.
- **`image_builder` builds inside the infra VM** (which now has buildah)
over SSH — no throwaway builder VM, so the `bborch0` contention is gone.
`ensure_built` builds orchestrator + gateway before infra (FROM gateway,
COPY --from orchestrator).
Verified on a KVM host: images build (buildah 1.39 in infra), the agent
image builds *inside* the infra VM (heredoc Dockerfile and all), the infra
VM stays healthy, the agent boots and `claude --version` = 2.1.172. The
rebased gateway still starts as a docker container and generates its CA
(docker backend unaffected).
