Description
For 3.13 and above the experimental JIT could be activated in the build but disabled by default. Adding --enable-experimental-jit=yes-off carries minimal risk and allows end-users to activate JIT support with the $PYTHON_JIT environment variable. Mostly creating this for tracking purposes.
This looks to be relatively low risk but would require installing LLVM during the compile. Shouldn't increase the resulting image size as it can be removed before the end of the build step.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the Python 3.13+ image build configuration and how build options are passed. Check the existing Docker build steps for installing and removing LLVM, then verify that the resulting image supports enabling JIT with PYTHON_JIT while leaving it disabled by default.
