Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically): ```text > [!NOTE] > > The `-dev` variant includes a shell and package manager, which is why `apk add` works. Backstage requires `python3` and native build tools in the runtime image because `yarn workspaces focus --all --production` recompiles native modules during the production install. This is specific to Backstage's build process — most Node.js applications can use the standard (non-dev) DHI runtime variant without additional packages. The DHI images come with attestations that the original `node:24-trixie-slim` images don't have. Check what's attached: ``` docker scout attest list dhi.io/node:24-alpine3.23 Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically): ```text DHI images ship with 15 attestations including CycloneDX SBOM, SLSA provenance, OpenVEX, Scout health reports, secret scans, virus/malware reports, and an SLSA verification summary. ``` Attribution: Adapted from Docker Documentation under Apache-2.0.
