This PR is submitted as part of my GSoC 2026 application for the Gambit project (Idea 2: GameInterpreter).
Closes #41.
Problem: texlive-full is ~1.5GB and much larger than necessary for draw_tree's actual requirements.
Investigation: The generated .tex files only use:
Fix: Replaced texlive-full with the minimal set of packages that provide exactly these:
Changes:
Testing: Verified generate_pdf works successfully with the minimal package set in Docker by building a test image with only these four packages and confirming PDF generation completes without errors.
Downstream impact: The game repo (GameInterpreter app) also uses texlive-full in its Dockerfile.backend. The same minimal package set should apply there too, which would significantly reduce its Docker build time. A separate PR to the game repo can follow once this is merged.
