i don't think we can do this one at the moment given that we still support python3.9:

[2026/07/24 12:23:35.487] Creating virtual environment at: .venv
[2026/07/24 12:23:35.582] × No solution found when resolving dependencies for split (markers:
[2026/07/24 12:23:35.582] │ python_full_version > '3.9' and python_full_version < '3.10'):
[2026/07/24 12:23:35.582] ╰─▶ Because only the following versions of
[2026/07/24 12:23:35.582] importlib-metadata{python_full_version < '3.13'} are available:
[2026/07/24 12:23:35.582] importlib-metadata{python_full_version < '3.13'}<=8.9.0
[2026/07/24 12:23:35.582] importlib-metadata{python_full_version < '3.13'}==9.0.0
[2026/07/24 12:23:35.582] and the requested Python version (>=3.9) does not satisfy Python>=3.10,
[2026/07/24 12:23:35.582] we can conclude that importlib-metadata{python_full_version <
[2026/07/24 12:23:35.582] '3.13'}>=8.9.0 cannot be used.

[2026/07/24 12:23:35.582] are unsatisfiable.
