Metadata
Current evaluation
Rejected and closed unmerged: maintainer @mr-cal said the setuptools >=80.9,<81 update was “the opposite of what we want”; Renovate ignored this version.
Resolution: closed stale
Reason: The dependency update was abandoned after the maintainer's 2025-08-04 rejection comment. Renovate confirmed it would ignore >=80.9,<81 and retry with a newer release.
