+Minor release. Headline: **CLI-toolset parity with the sibling `pi-devbox`
+image** (adds `yq`, `pandoc`, `graphviz`, `tealdeer`/`tldr`, and the `dot-watch`
+wrapper) plus **background subagents enabled by default**
+(`OPENCODE_EXPERIMENTAL_BACKGROUND_SUBAGENTS=true`), and an opencode bump
+`1.17.13 → 1.17.15`. Touches `Dockerfile.base` (apt list, new binary, new ENV)
+so the base image rebuilds (`base-<hash>` advances); the opencode bump rebuilds
+the variant layers.

+- **opencode `1.17.13` → `1.17.15`.** v1.17.14 adds a code-mode MCP adapter for
+  confined orchestration scripts, hides the `execute` tool unless code mode is

+  output-schema validation** (relevant — this image wires the mempalace,
