fix(security): bump pip to >=26.1 in Dockerfile (CVE-2026-6357)

The python:3.13-slim-trixie base image ships pip 26.0.1, which runs its
  self-update check after installing wheels — a malicious wheel that included
  a module name matching a deferred stdlib import (urllib, ssl, ...) could
  hijack the import inside the install step. GitHub code-scanning alert #778
  flagged this as medium-severity.

  Dockerfile now upgrades pip to >=26.1 immediately before the requirements.txt
  install, so the requirements install runs under the patched pip and the
  resulting dist-info metadata in the final image is the fixed version.
  No requirements.txt change — the floor is enforced at the image-build layer
  where the vulnerable copy actually lived.
