Update Dev Requirements

Updates requirements-dev.in with latest package versions from PyPI while preserving version specifier patterns.

How It Works

For each package in requirements-dev.in:

1. Parse the version pattern to understand the "fixed part":

   • pytest==8.* → fixed: 8, wildcard at minor level
   • ruff==0.* → fixed: 0, wildcard at minor level
   • pytest-cov==7.* → fixed: 7, wildcard at minor level

2. Query PyPI for the latest version

3. Update while preserving pattern:

   • pytest==8.* with latest 8.4.0 → pytest==8.* (already allows 8.x)
   • ruff==0.* with latest 0.9.2 → ruff==0.* (already allows 0.x)

Execution Steps

1. Read requirements-dev.in from the current project
2. For each line with a package version:
   • Skip git dependencies (lines with @ or git+)
   • Parse package name and version pattern
   • Fetch latest version from PyPI: curl -s https://pypi.org/pypi/{package}/json | jq -r .info.version
   • Calculate new version with same pattern depth
3. Show diff of proposed changes
4. Apply changes after user confirmation

Version Pattern Rules

Original	Latest on PyPI	Result
pkg==1.2.*	1.5.3	pkg==1.5.*
pkg==1.*	2.3.0	pkg==2.*
pkg==1.2.3	1.5.3	pkg==1.5.3

Skip These Lines

• Git dependencies: pkg @ git+https://...
• Comments: Lines starting with #
• Empty lines
• Extras without version: pkg[extra]

Example Output

Checking requirements-dev.in for updates...

Package          Current    Latest     Status
pytest           8.*        9.0.0      UPDATE → 9.*
ruff             0.*        0.14.3     OK (already matches)
commitizen       4.*        4.9.1      OK (already matches)

Apply updates? [y/N]

After applying changes

Recompile the dev lockfile with uv:

uv pip compile requirements-dev.in -o requirements-dev.txt --upgrade

The .in file is human-edited; .txt is the generated, fully-resolved lockfile that local dev and the CI test image install from.
