feat: update BASE_IMAGE to debian:13.2-slim (trixie)

[MikeMcC399]

Situation

Cypress Docker images built from factory/.env currently use BASE_IMAGE='debian:13.1-slim'. Debian 13.2 (trixie), which was released on Nov 15, 2025, supersedes Debian 13.1 (trixie).

Change

Update the base image for cypress/factory to use Debian 13.2 (trixie).

The environment variables in factory/.env that control the default build process, are updated as follows:

Environment variable	Before	After
BASE_IMAGE	debian:13.1-slim	debian:13.2-slim
FACTORY_VERSION	7.0.3	7.1.0
FACTORY_DEFAULT_NODE_VERSION	24.11.1	no change

no browser version changes

The npm registry is currently experiencing a service disruption - see https://status.npmjs.org/incidents/67q3d5th9kcc - preventing the publication of the new cypress/factory Docker image.

I'll reply here when I get a notification from npm that their issue is resolved. The CircleCI pipeline will need to be re-run at that point to get the CI tests passed and the image published.

Also Cloudflare is experiencing global network issues, causing download of the Cypress binary to intermittently fail.

npm error Failed downloading the Cypress binary.
