Trixie (Debian 13) is now the official released version but AWS still refuse to scan it in Inspector.

[hueyhuilonghan]

Inspector already support Trixie / Debian 13 today. Please refer to the documentation: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/inspector/latest/user/supported.html#supported-os-ecr.

@hueyhuilonghan: The ECR Basic scanning docs still don't show Debian 13 as a supported image operating system.
