Remove unused ipython-genutils dependency across runtime images

[coderabbitai]

Problem Description

During PR #2145 review, static analysis revealed that the ipython-genutils dependency is unused across multiple runtime images. This package is largely deprecated in modern Jupyter stacks and verification confirms it's not required by any of our pinned dependencies.

Scope Analysis

Impact Scale: 57+ affected files across 6 runtime variants

• pyproject.toml files: 7 affected
• requirements.txt files: 7 affected
• Pipfile/Pipfile.lock files: 14 affected
• pylock.toml files: 7 affected

Affected Runtime Variants:

• runtimes/minimal/ubi9-python-3.12
• runtimes/datascience/ubi9-python-3.12
• runtimes/pytorch/ubi9-python-3.12
• runtimes/pytorch+llmcompressor/ubi9-python-3.12
• runtimes/rocm-pytorch/ubi9-python-3.12
• runtimes/rocm-tensorflow/ubi9-python-3.12
• runtimes/tensorflow/ubi9-python-3.12

Verification Results:

• No direct dependency requirements: Key Jupyter packages (ipython 9.0.1, jupyter-client 8.6.3, jupyter-core 5.8.1, traitlets 5.14.3, ipykernel 6.29.5, nbconvert 7.16.6, nbformat 5.10.4, nbclient 0.10.2, papermill 2.6.0) do not list ipython-genutils in their PyPI metadata
• No code imports: No import ipython_genutils or from ipython_genutils statements found in repository Python files
• Historical artifact: Package appears to be a legacy dependency that was never cleaned up

Solution

Remove ipython-genutils entries from all dependency manifests:

1. Dependency Manifests:

   • Remove from pyproject.toml dependencies lists
   • Remove from requirements.txt files
   • Remove from Pipfile [packages] sections

2. Lock Files:

   • Regenerate Pipfile.lock files using containerized pipenv lock
   • Regenerate uv.lock/pylock.toml files using uv lock
   • Update any other lock file formats in use

3. Verification:

   • Run container builds to ensure no import errors
   • Execute notebook tests to verify Jupyter functionality intact
   • Confirm no transitive dependency issues

Acceptance Criteria

• All ipython-genutils entries removed from dependency manifests (pyproject.toml, requirements.txt, Pipfile)
• All lock files regenerated without ipython-genutils (Pipfile.lock, pylock.toml, uv.lock)
• Container builds succeed for all affected runtime images
• Notebook functionality tests pass for representative runtimes (minimal, datascience, pytorch, tensorflow)
• No runtime import errors related to missing ipython-genutils
• Documentation updated if any references exist

Implementation Notes

• Follow established containerized dependency locking workflow for cross-platform compatibility
• Test representative runtime images (minimal, datascience, pytorch, tensorflow) to ensure broad compatibility
• Consider running full CI pipeline on affected images before merge
