Code Review

This pull request updates the Python toolchain to use the 20251028 release from python-build-standalone. The changes involve updating the download URLs and SHA256 hashes for various Python versions in python/versions.bzl, and adding a corresponding entry to CHANGELOG.md. The changes are straightforward. I have one suggestion to improve the maintainability of python/versions.bzl by avoiding hardcoded, repeated release dates in the URL strings.
