Description

Adds Python 3.15 (currently at rc1) to the nox test matrix in noxfile.py, so the python-tests, abc-tests, and benchmark-tests CI workflows (which all drive off PYTHON_ALL_VERSIONS via uvx nox -s tests) build the C++ extension and run the suite against it.

Wheel publishing is deliberately untouched: [tool.cibuildwheel] builds cp3*, and the pinned cibuildwheel (v3.3) doesn't yet know how to build cp315 wheels, so aigverse-pypi-deployment.yml keeps building/publishing only 3.10-3.14 wheels. No PyPI classifier is added for 3.15 either, since only the sdist path would currently work for it.

Verified locally: uvx nox -s tests-3.15 --verbose builds and installs cleanly against CPython 3.15.0rc1 and the test suite passes (396 passed, 80 skipped — skips are the expected ABC-binary-not-found skips).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation

    • Updated testing documentation to list Python 3.15 alongside Python 3.10–3.14.
  • Tests

    • Added Python 3.15 to the supported test environments and expanded compatibility validation across Python 3.10–3.15.
    • The full test run does not install the Torch dependency group on Python 3.15; other full-test behavior remains unchanged.

Extends the nox test matrix to Python 3.15 (currently at rc1) so the CI test
workflows build and run against it. Wheel publishing is untouched: cibuildwheel
doesn't yet know how to build cp315 wheels, so the release job is unaffected.

torch has no cp315 wheels yet, so installing the torch dependency group
fails outright on that interpreter; exclude torch-marked tests there
instead of pulling every CI job (python-tests, abc-tests, benchmark-tests)
down with it. Other Python versions keep full torch coverage.

Split mode has no stable ABI for free-threaded interpreters before the `abi3t`
of Python 3.15, so supporting them meant a linked fallback -- and with it a
dynamic-metadata provider, because such a wheel must not require
`nanobind-backend`, no wheel of it exists for `cp313t`/`cp314t`, and no PEP 508
marker can tell a free-threaded interpreter from a GIL one.

That workaround was ~150 of the ~180 lines this branch added, against a split
mode change that is otherwise about ten lines of configuration. It bought a
`cp314t` wheel that is a linked, per-version build -- exactly what this branch
moves away from -- while the eight heaviest entry points already release the
GIL, so a thread pool over them scales on a stock build today.

On Python 3.15 free-threading gets `abi3t`, `nanobind-backend` already ships
`cp315t`, and the whole thing collapses into the keywords already passed here.
Deferred to #439 rather than carried until then.

Building on a free-threaded interpreter now stops with nanobind's own message
naming 3.15, and the workflows are untouched again.

Follow-up for this PR: free-threading becomes cheap on 3.15

Context from #463, which adopts nanobind 3.0's split mode. Split mode has no stable ABI for free-threaded interpreters before the abi3t of 3.15 (PEP 803), so it drops free-threaded builds until then — building on one stops with nanobind's own error naming 3.15.

I implemented free-threaded support in #463 and then removed it. It needed a linked-mode fallback plus a dynamic-metadata provider, because such a wheel must not require nanobind-backend, no wheel of it exists for cp313t/cp314t, and no PEP 508 marker can tell a free-threaded interpreter from a GIL one (python_version is "3.13" for both). That was ~150 of the ~180 lines the branch added, plus fetch-depth: 0 on three workflows and a pre-commit.ci hook skip, and it bought a cp314t wheel that is a linked per-version build — the shape split mode exists to get away from.

On 3.15 none of that is needed, which is why it was deferred here rather than carried:

  • nanobind-backend already publishes cp315t wheels, so the static dependencies = ["nanobind-backend>=1.0"] in pyproject.toml stays correct. No dynamic metadata, no provider, no workflow changes.
  • cmake/AddAigversePythonBinding.cmake needs no change: it already passes BACKEND_MODULE nanobind_backend together with FREE_THREADED, which is exactly the combination nanobind resolves to abi3t on a free-threaded 3.15.

So once #463 has landed and 3.15 is final, the whole feature is roughly two lines:

  1. PYTHON_ALL_VERSIONS in noxfile.py gains "3.15t" alongside the "3.15" this PR adds.
  2. [tool.cibuildwheel] build in pyproject.toml gains cp315t-* next to cp310-* (cibuildwheel 3.3 already offers cp315t-manylinux_x86_64).

Two things to check when doing it:

  • Free-threaded Python cannot load classic abi3 modules, so this is genuinely a second wheel: cp310-abi3 for GIL builds plus cp315t-abi3t covering free-threaded 3.15 upward. _wheel_tag() in noxfile.py currently returns "cp310-abi3" unconditionally and would need to distinguish them again.
  • nox -s minimums may need scoping to GIL interpreters. It pins every direct dependency to its declared floor, those floors are PEP 508 markers, and the marker limitation above does not go away on 3.15 — the torch floor is the one that bit on 3.13t/3.14t.

Worth noting the payoff is packaging only. The eight heaviest entry points already release the GIL at 11 nb::call_guard<nb::gil_scoped_release>() sites, so a thread pool over resubstitution, rewriting, balancing, refactoring, simulation, equivalence checking, cleanup, and the truth-table ops already scales on a stock build today.

* ✨ Adopt nanobind 3.0 split mode and ship free-threaded wheels

Split mode keeps the nanobind library out of the extension and resolves it at
import time from the `nanobind-backend` wheel. The frontend is then a single
`abi3` binary with a 3.10 floor, where a linked stable-ABI build needs Python
3.12 and still leaves 3.10 and 3.11 on version-specific wheels.

Measured on Linux across 3.10-3.14: covering every supported interpreter drops
from three wheels per platform to one, cold build time from 242.8s to 77.2s
(3.15x), and shipped payload from 2528 KiB to 593 KiB (4.3x). The five
extensions shrink 26% by no longer each carrying their own copy of the library.
Runtime is a wash -- split mode does reach the unrestricted full-API ceiling,
but these workloads are dominated by mockturtle compute rather than binding
dispatch, so end-to-end timings are unchanged.

Free-threaded interpreters have no stable ABI before the `abi3t` of Python 3.15
(PEP 803), so they fall back to a linked, version-specific build. Those wheels
are now built, tested, and shipped: cibuildwheel adds `cp314t` alongside the
`cp310` abi3 wheel, and the nox matrix covers 3.13t and 3.14t.

`dependencies` becomes dynamic because of that split. Only split-mode wheels
need `nanobind-backend`, no such wheel is published for `cp313t`/`cp314t`, and
no PEP 508 marker can tell a free-threaded interpreter from a GIL one -- so a
static declaration would make the free-threaded wheels uninstallable.

`minimums` stays on the GIL interpreters for the same marker limitation: the
declared `torch` floor for 3.13 ships no free-threaded wheel, and no marker can
raise it for 3.13t alone.

* 📝 Add changelog entries for split mode and free-threaded wheels

* 👷 Skip uv-lock on pre-commit.ci, which runs hooks without network

* 👷 Fix the free-threaded test matrix and give CI a stable version

Two CI failures from the split-mode change.

`--full` installed the `torch` group on every interpreter, but torch publishes
no wheel for every free-threaded platform -- there is none for 3.13t on aarch64
-- and ships no sdist to fall back on, so the session failed before running.
The torch-marked tests guard themselves with `pytest.importorskip`, so skipping
the group on free-threaded interpreters lets them skip cleanly instead.

Making `dependencies` dynamic means uv now derives metadata before building,
and scikit-build-core checks that it matches the built wheel's. On a shallow
clone `vcs-versioning` falls back to a placeholder version whose dirty marker
is not stable between those two phases, so the check tripped -- observed as
`0.1.dev1+g6ecfb04ec.d20260822` against `0.1.dev1+g6ecfb04ec`. Fetching the
full history gives the tagged, stable version instead, which is why the
packaging and CodeQL workflows already do it.

* 🐛 Keep free-threaded sessions from rewriting the lockfile

Root cause of the ABC job's "Metadata mismatch in METADATA" failure.

A free-threaded interpreter resolves the project without `nanobind-backend`,
so `uv sync` rewrites `uv.lock` -- 59 lines shorter -- and leaves that tracked
file modified. `vcs-versioning` then reads a dirty tree and appends a
`.dYYYYMMDD` suffix, so the version differed between the metadata phase and the
built wheel (`0.1.5.dev11+g22467ef7e.d20260822` against
`0.1.5.dev11+g22467ef7e`) and scikit-build-core's consistency check tripped.

`restore_lockfile` puts the file back afterwards. Unlike the existing
`preserve_lockfile` it leaves the lockfile in place while the session runs, so
uv still resolves from it. This also fixes the plain surprise of `nox -s
tests-3.14t` silently modifying a tracked file.

Drop 3.13t from the matrix at the same time. Free-threading became officially
supported in 3.14 (PEP 779), which is also the oldest free-threaded target
cibuildwheel still offers and therefore the only one shipped. On Windows 3.13t
fails for reasons that are not the project's -- CPython refusing to load an
extension twice in a process, and a numpy cast overflow -- and testing what is
neither shipped nor supported buys nothing.

* 🎨 Trim comments to the current state, and write the rule down

The split-mode work left comments recounting the CI investigation behind each
decision -- what was tried, what failed, why an alternative was rejected. That
belongs in the commit message and the pull request, which are where someone
looks for history; a comment's job is to state a constraint the code cannot
show on its own.

Net 49 lines lighter across cmake/, noxfile.py, pyproject.toml, tools/, the
workflows, and .pre-commit-config.yaml. AGENTS.md gains a `Comments` subsection
under Code Style so this is a stated convention rather than a review note.

* 👷 Run uv-lock in the Lint job, not just pre-commit.ci

Skipping `uv-lock` on pre-commit.ci left it running nowhere: the Lint job runs
`prek run -a ty`, a single hook, not the full set. It now runs both hooks
pre-commit.ci cannot.

Caught in review by CodeRabbit.

* 🔥 Drop the free-threading workaround, deferring it to Python 3.15

Split mode has no stable ABI for free-threaded interpreters before the `abi3t`
of Python 3.15, so supporting them meant a linked fallback -- and with it a
dynamic-metadata provider, because such a wheel must not require
`nanobind-backend`, no wheel of it exists for `cp313t`/`cp314t`, and no PEP 508
marker can tell a free-threaded interpreter from a GIL one.

That workaround was ~150 of the ~180 lines this branch added, against a split
mode change that is otherwise about ten lines of configuration. It bought a
`cp314t` wheel that is a linked, per-version build -- exactly what this branch
moves away from -- while the eight heaviest entry points already release the
GIL, so a thread pool over them scales on a stock build today.

On Python 3.15 free-threading gets `abi3t`, `nanobind-backend` already ships
`cp315t`, and the whole thing collapses into the keywords already passed here.
Deferred to #439 rather than carried until then.

Building on a free-threaded interpreter now stops with nanobind's own message
naming 3.15, and the workflows are untouched again.

Add Python 3.15 to the Windows ARM test selections.

PYTHON_ALL_VERSIONS now supports Python 3.15, but both Windows ARM workflows still select only through 3.14. The workflow comments define lower dependency floors, not a Python 3.15 exclusion. This leaves Python 3.15 untested on Windows ARM.
