- Colonizer get send and park over suitable worlds forever, if the AI is not allowed to build in that system because of a treaty (maybe hardcoded).

The AI should be smart enough to check for colonizers 'in route' when a new treaty is agreed and re-route anything that will be disallowed when it arrives. Surely this part of the AI is not 'hard' coded!
And actually, colonizers
should have ordnance storage. The best early defense a colony can have is a missile-armed weapon platform -- which needs ordnance to operate! So, until the first supply depot is built in the system, where does ordnance come from? It has to already be present. Meaning, the colonizer has to bring it. A
really good AI would build the weapon platform at the point of origin and load it into the colonizer but I suppose that's very complicated to work out. Putting a weapon platform as the first thing a new colony builds would be nearly as good, though.
