 ## Global Constraints
 
 - Node.js 22 LTS; Next.js App Router (not Pages Router); TypeScript strict mode on.
-- Python 3.12; database access via `psycopg` v3 (not psycopg2); raw SQL only in the worker.
+- Python 3.12 in the worker container (`python:3.12-slim`); local test runs may use a newer 3.x — keep worker deps version-flexible so they install on both. Database access via `psycopg` v3 (not psycopg2); raw SQL only in the worker.
 - **Prisma is the single owner of the database schema.** The worker never issues DDL; it reads/writes tables Prisma migrated. Worker tests assume `prisma migrate deploy` has already been run against the target database.
 - PostgreSQL 17.
 - One `DATABASE_URL` (Postgres connection string) is shared by both services via environment.
