  • Issue #414

• Fixed: Rename runner sidecar port from http to runner-health to eliminate duplicate port name warning

• Fixed: Move N8N_RUNNERS_STDLIB_ALLOW and N8N_RUNNERS_EXTERNAL_ALLOW to task-broker configmap so n8n enforces the correct Python security policy

• Added: Add Python runner support via nodes.python.enabled flag (requires n8n 1.111.0+ and taskRunners.mode=external)

• Added: Add nodes.python.external.packages to install Python packages via uv before the runner starts; N8N_RUNNERS_EXTERNAL_ALLOW is derived automatically from the package list

• Added: Add pypiRegistry support for installing Python packages from a private PyPI index (URL-only via UV_DEFAULT_INDEX or uv.toml config file via UV_CONFIG_FILE; mirrors npmRegistry pattern)
