fix: use exec in setup-image to prevent subprocess hang

Replace shell pip invocation with exec so the shell process is replaced
by pip. When pip exits, the runner detects completion immediately,
avoiding hangs where pip's PEP 517 build subprocess holds the stdout
pipe open after pip itself has finished.

Also drops the 2>/dev/null redirect (errors should be visible) and uses
/opt/venv/bin/pip directly instead of sourcing activate.
