📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Updated GitHub Actions runners to newer versions across three workflows (macos-14 to macos-15, Windows-2022 to Windows-2025, ubuntu-latest to ubuntu-slim), restructured the pre-commit configuration with priority-based hook tiers, and added a single configuration ignore rule.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
GitHub Actions Runner Updates .github/workflows/ci.yml, .github/workflows/release-drafter.yml, .github/workflows/templating.yml	Updated runner environments to newer versions: macOS 15, Windows 2025, and ubuntu-slim across test matrices and job runners.
Pre-commit Configuration Restructuring .pre-commit-config.yaml	Reorganized hooks into three priority tiers (0, 1, 2) with explicit sequencing: fast validations, second-pass fixers, and final checks. Removed several hooks (nb-clean, texthooks, pyngrep-hooks, prettier, jsonschema, readthedocs), added validation checks (validate-pyproject, check-github-workflows, check-readthedocs), and reintroduced uv-lock with dependency constraints.
Project Configuration pyproject.toml	Added "PC170" to tool.repo-review ignore list with note that rST files are no longer used.

Poem

🐇 The runners hop to newer ground,
With macOS-15 and Windows crowned,
Pre-commit hooks now neatly prized,
In tiers and phases organized!
Configuration fresh and light,
The CI pipeline runs just right! 🚀

In @.github/workflows/release-drafter.yml:
- Line 19: The workflow's runner value uses the preview-only label "ubuntu-slim"
under the runs-on key which will fail for public repos; update the runs-on entry
to a supported GitHub-hosted runner such as "ubuntu-24.04" or "ubuntu-latest" so
the release-drafter workflow can run in this public repository.
