Findings

• ⏰ STALE: Open for 10 days — investigate why it has not yet merged. This may indicate failing CI, an unresolved conflict, a dependency issue, or missed assignment.
• This PR introduces a semi-permanent constraint on pip<26.2.1 in common_constraints.txt to prevent unwanted pip upgrades that break pip-tools.
• Superseded: This PR is a strict subset of the newer requirements update PR Python Requirements Update #273.

Recommended Validation

• Close after Python Requirements Update #273 merges. No separate validation needed.
