Dependabot was unable to parse the project's dependency manifest, failing with "Illformed requirement" error. The issue stemmed from using the caret operator (^) with a multi-component version number containing date components on diskcache-stubs.

Changes

Dependency specification simplification

  • Changed diskcache-stubs = "^5.6.3.6.20240818" to diskcache-stubs = ">=5.6.3"
  • The caret operator with 5-component versions (including date suffixes) cannot be reliably parsed by Dependabot's version constraint logic
  • Using a simple >= constraint with only the core version components resolves the parsing error

Lockfile regeneration

  • Regenerated poetry.lock to reflect the updated constraint in pyproject.toml
  • Ensures all dependency resolution remains consistent

This change maintains backward compatibility since >=5.6.3 is more permissive than the original caret constraint while still preventing installation of incompatible major versions.
