Fix status: documented_behavior Other error fragments: - dependency is incompatible with the current platform Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/astral-sh/uv/136ef97330781a0f5f2be6613aac4382ebbcecea/crates/uv/tests/pip_install/pip_install.rs (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Snapshots: "You're using free-threaded CPython 3.14 (`cp314t`), but the wheel was built for the stable ABI (`abi3`), which requires a GIL-enabled interpreter" and a cp314 variant.
