Summary

Keeps CI's black --check and the pre-commit hook on the same black, so a file the hook
formats passes CI.

The [dev] black bound is meant to match the hook's pinned rev (25.9.0). Dependabot walked
it from <25.10 to <26.11 over three PRs, and the py3.12 lint job has run black 26.x since.
The two disagree on one call in tests/test_import_footprint.py: it was committed in 25.9
style through the hook, failed CI under 26.x, and was reformatted to 26 style, which the hook
now rewrites back.

  • [dev] black back to >=24.0,<25.10, matching the hook rev
  • tests/test_import_footprint.py takes 25.9's formatting of that call (no AST change)
  • Dependabot ignores black (name-only: an update-types ignore is computed from the first
    X.Y.Z in the requirement, and >=24.0,<25.10 has none, so it would match nothing); the cap
    and the hook rev move together by hand. A name-only ignore does not block security updates.
    Black's security fixes since 25.9.0 (CVE-2026-31900, CVE-2026-32274) need Python 3.10+, so
    taking one is a decision about the 3.9 floor. Neither is reachable here: no workflow uses
    the black action and nothing passes --python-cell-magics
  • Comments corrected: 25.11.0 is the last black on Python 3.9, so the cap stays at or below
    25.12 while 3.9 is supported; the pre-commit header no longer says every hook rev tracks a
    [dev] floor

Review

  • External (Codex, gpt-6.1-sol) on 1aa4509, then each fix commit re-reviewed on its own
    delta (0ea6c30, d700811, fabc92c): 1 applied (the update-types ignore matched nothing
    on the range cap, reverted to name-only in d700811), last two rounds clean.
  • Analysis pass on 0ea6c30: APPROVE, 2 applied (d700811); re-run on d700811: APPROVE,
    1 applied (fabc92c).
  • Analysis pass: not run on the pushed tree (fabc92c, a three-line comment reword in
    .github/dependabot.yml landed after the re-run; Codex reviewed it, parsed YAML unchanged).
  • Deferred from the analysis pass:
    • mention .pre-commit-config.yaml:8: ruff has the same hook/CI split (hook v0.15.17,
      ruff>=0.4 resolves 0.17.x in CI); both pass on this tree today (mention)
    • mention: nothing tests that the hook's black rev satisfies the [dev] black specifier
      (mention)
    • minor pyproject.toml:49: pin black==25.9.0 instead of the <25.10 cap (declined:
      keeps the cap this change set out to restore)

Test plan

  • Fresh pip install -e '.[dev]' resolves black 25.9.0 (py3.12; uv pip compile gives
    25.9.0 on 3.9, 3.10 and 3.13)
  • pre-commit run --all-files clean
  • coverage run -m pytest: 191 passed, 5 skipped, 94% coverage
  • black 26.10.1 --check fails only on tests/test_import_footprint.py (the split this fixes)
  • CI green on this PR

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores
    • Capped the development version of Black to maintain compatibility with Python 3.9 and keep formatting checks consistent.
    • Updated dependency update settings so routine updates skip Black while security updates remain available.
    • Clarified the version constraints for Black and other pre-commit hooks.

The [dev] black bound is meant to match the black rev the pre-commit hook
pins (25.9.0), so CI's `black --check` and the local hook format the same
way. Three Dependabot bumps walked it from <25.10 to <26.11, and CI (py3.12)
has been running black 26.x since. The two disagree: test_import_footprint.py
was committed in 25.9 style through the hook, failed CI under 26.x, and was
reformatted to 26 style, which the hook now rewrites back.

Restore the bound to <25.10, take the 25.9 formatting of that one call, and
add a Dependabot ignore for black so the cap moves only with the hook rev, by
hand. The comments now say why the cap is where it is: 25.11.0 is the last
black that runs on Python 3.9, so 25.12 is the ceiling while 3.9 is supported.
Scope the black ignore to semver version updates, so routine bumps stay off
while a security update can still open a PR.
An update-types ignore needs the dependency's current version, and the
[dev] cap is a range with none, so the scoped ignore matched nothing and
cap bumps would have kept coming. A name-only ignore blocks every version
update and leaves security updates alone, so return to it and say why.

Also correct the pre-commit header, which said every hook rev tracks a
[dev] floor: black tracks the cap, and ruff tracks nothing.
An update-types ignore is computed from the first X.Y.Z version in the
requirement string. The cap has none, which is why the typed form matched
nothing; a range written with a three-part floor would not have that
problem, so the comment should not blame ranges in general.

The Black ignore may prevent automatic security-update pull requests, although this repository’s update settings and exposure to an applicable vulnerability are not established. This is a bounded monitoring risk; the supplied context does not establish a reason to block the PR.

Point the comment at the code that decides it, IgnoreCondition#ignored_versions,
which returns only an ignore's explicit versions for a security-update job, so
a reader can check the claim where it is made.
