Current evaluation

Adds Python 3.14 and the experimental free-threaded build to CI (+3/-2, 2 files). Open 381 days with no review or comments; all test CI jobs failing. Author notes it must wait for PyO3 0.26; sibling craft-providers#808 is still open on the same blocker.

Suggested action: keep open

Reason: The PR body explicitly states it 'needs to wait until PyO3 0.26 is released', and the sibling craft-providers#808 (same Python 3.14 prep, same PyO3 0.26 blocker) is still open awaiting upstream updates, so this is blocked on an external dependency rather than abandoned. The change is still applicable: qa.yaml at HEAD still only tests 3.10/3.12 with no 3.14 or freethreaded entries, and no commit in craft-application has implemented it. Inactivity alone (381 days, 0 reviews) is not sufficient to close given the stated upstream block.

Issue body

This adds both Python 3.14 and the experimental free-threaded build to CI.
