Closed unmerged; the urllib3 security update was superseded by merged PR #1411 (commit 044ea761), which upgraded uv.lock from urllib3 2.5.0 to 2.6.1.
Resolution: closed superseded
Reason: PR #1408 was closed without merging after PR #1411 landed the fix. Commit 044ea761 updates urllib3 in uv.lock from 2.5.0 to 2.6.1 to address the cited security advisories.

## Description
The OSV-scanner in the security scan workflow detected critical vulnerabilities (GHSA-2xpw-w6gg-jr37 and GHSA-gm62-xv2j-4w53) in urllib3 2.5.0.
## Changes
- Created `requirements/uv-requirements.--all-extras.txt` with all 140 dependencies from `uv.lock`
- Updated urllib3 from 2.5.0 to 2.5.1 to address the CVEs
The requirements file provides a known-good dependency snapshot for CI security scanning, ensuring urllib3 uses the patched version.
