This release can run sessions in parallel with --parallel/-j (experimental for now, report any bugs!). Requires session opt-in, or use --allow-parallel. Interpreter discovery now uses the python-discovery package, which should be better at finding Python and supports version specifier sets. Using this, script mode reads requires-python. Many bugs were fixed, mostly in Python version handling, conda version specifiers, and option precedence. Unrecognized global options are now an error.

Your project could benefit from a custom flavor, which would allow you to run only the linters you need, and thus improve runtime performances. (Skip this info by defining FLAVOR_SUGGESTIONS: false)

Closing this low-value dependency bump because the full Python/backend unit-test matrix is red. The other checks pass, but this is better retried by Dependabot after the repository test baseline is healthy.

Correction to my earlier triage note: this PR merged while I was reviewing the queue, so the closure rationale no longer applies.
