DEVELOPING.md:1

• [nitpick] The project name 'Speculators' appears in DEVELOPING.md, which is inconsistent with 'GuideLLM' used in other documentation files. Consider updating this to 'GuideLLM' for consistency.

# Developing for Speculators

.github/workflows/main.yml:61

• The precommit-checks job now uses a reduced Python matrix (only '3.9'), whereas previously a broader range was used. Verify that this change is intentional to maintain the desired test coverage across supported Python versions.

python: ["3.9"]
