fix(e2e): replace Docker Hub images in E2E tests to avoid rate limits#369
Conversation
… limits Unauthenticated pulls from Docker Hub hit 429 rate limits in E2E tests and wheel builds. Switch all python:* base image references to ghcr.io/nvidia/openshell/ci:latest which is already authenticated in every CI workflow.
The CI image is heavyweight and not intended as a sandbox base. Use the community sandbox base image instead, which is purpose-built for running inside sandboxes.
The community sandbox base image already includes iproute2 and the sandbox user/group (UID/GID 1000). The groupadd command failed because GID 1000 already exists in the base image.

This test validates building a truly custom image from scratch, so it needs a generic base (not the sandbox base image). Use the ECR public mirror of python:3.13-slim to avoid Docker Hub rate limits.
The CI image's mise shims don't resolve Python tools (pip, maturin) outside /opt/mise. Revert wheel Dockerfiles to the original python:3.12-slim base until a proper fix is in place.

The larger sandbox base image takes longer to pull than the previous alpine image, leaving less headroom for the readiness check.
The sandbox base image is too large and times out during pull. Use the ECR public mirror of python:3.13-alpine which is small and fast.

Summary
Unauthenticated pulls from Docker Hub hit 429 rate limits in E2E tests. This switches the three test files that use
python:*base images to alternatives that don't pull from Docker Hub.Changes
