+"""Post-install patches for offlineimap on Alpine.
+
+Run as root in the Docker build (RUN python3 /tmp/patch.py).
+Fixes two upstream issues that persist in offlineimap 8.0.0:
+
+1. UnicodeEncodeError when writing messages with non-ASCII bytes
+   (Maildir.save thread + IMAP header generation).
+2. SSL SECLEVEL=2 in OpenSSL 3.x prevents connecting to servers with
+   weak DH keys (DH_KEY_TOO_SMALL). Force SECLEVEL=1 in imaplib2.
+
+Paths are resolved dynamically so the patch survives Python version
+bumps across Alpine releases (was hardcoded to python3.12).
