SCALRCORE-35042 Runner Image > Python installation has broken pip

CHANGELOG.md

 # Changelog
 
+## Unreleased
+
+## Added
+
+Set `ENV PIP_BREAK_SYSTEM_PACKAGES=1` within the Dockerfile to enable system-wide Python package installations by default, bypassing the externally-managed-environment error (PEP 668). This removes the need to explicitly use --break-system-packages or initialize a virtual environment for global pip installs during the image build process.
+
+## Updated
+
+Kubectl: from v1.33.0 to v1.33.1
+Google Cloud CLI (gcloud): from 519.0.0 to 525.0.0
+AWS CLI: from 2.27.1 to 2.27.32
+Azure CLI: from 2.71.0 to 2.74.0
+Scalr CLI: from 0.17.0 to 0.17.1
