Published e2b-desktop 2.3.0 wheel pins pillow<12.0.0 while source already requires ^12.0.0 (forces vulnerable Pillow) #191

Description

Summary

The e2b-desktop 2.3.0 artifacts published to PyPI declare a Pillow upper bound that contradicts the source repo:

These ranges are mutually exclusive, so the published wheel was clearly not built from current main. Most likely 2.3.0 was tagged/published before the Pillow bump in the source was merged (or without re-running the publish workflow afterwards).

Why this matters: forces installs onto a Pillow with two open High-severity CVEs

Because e2b-desktop 2.3.0 caps pillow<12.0.0, any project that depends on it gets pulled back to Pillow 11.x, which is affected by:

Dependabot/Renovate flags both alerts on any project that transitively depends on e2b-desktop 2.3.0, with no clean upgrade path because of the cap.

Today the only workaround is something like tool.uv.override-dependencies = ["pillow>=12.2.0"], which is uv-only and silently bypasses upstream constraints.

Suggested fix

Cut a patch release (e2b-desktop 2.3.1) from current main so the published wheel reflects the actual pillow = "^12.0.0" constraint and downstream users can pick up the patched Pillow >= 12.2.0.

Reproduction

pip download --no-deps e2b-desktop==2.3.0
unzip -p e2b_desktop-2.3.0-py3-none-any.whl '*.dist-info/METADATA' | grep -i pillow
# Requires-Dist: pillow (<12.0.0,>=11.1.0)

Thanks!
