I made some adjustments to the devops and CI process on my fork. My goal was speed by using uv and not running the tests twice (for coverage). Also, local reproducibility of the CI process by moving the test process into nox which a dev can run locally and deps specification into the pyproject.toml file.
If you like any of them, let me know which ones and I'll separate them out and get a PR put up:
