[dependabot]

Updates the requirements on click to permit the latest version.

Release notes

Sourced from click's releases.

8.4.0

This is the Click 8.4.0 feature release. A feature release may include new features, remove previously deprecated code, add new deprecation, or introduce potentially breaking changes.

We encourage everyone to upgrade. You can read more about our Version Support Policy on our website.

PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/click/8.4.0/ Changes: https://click.palletsprojects.com/page/changes/#version-8-4-0 Milestone https://github.com/pallets/click/milestone/30

• ParamType typing improvements. #3371

  • :class:ParamType is now a generic abstract base class, parameterized by its converted value type.
  • :meth:~ParamType.convert return types are narrowed on all concrete types (str for :class:STRING, int for :class:INT, etc.).
  • :meth:~ParamType.to_info_dict returns specific :class:~typing.TypedDict subclasses instead of dict[str, Any].
  • :class:CompositeParamType and the number-range base are now generic with abstract methods.

• Refactor convert_type to extract type inference into a private _guess_type helper, and add :func:typing.overload signatures. #3372

• Parameter typing improvements. #2805

  • :class:Parameter is now an abstract base class, making explicit that it cannot be instantiated directly.
  • :attr:Parameter.name is now str instead of str | None. When expose_value=False, the name is set to "" instead of None.
  • The ctx parameter of :meth:Parameter.get_error_hint is now typed as Context | None, matching the runtime behavior.

• Split string values from default_map for parameters with nargs > 1 or :class:Tuple type, matching environment variable behavior. #2745 #3364

• Auto-detect type=UNPROCESSED for flag_value of non-basic types (not str, int, float, or bool), so programmer-provided Python objects like classes and enum members are passed through unchanged instead of being stringified. Previously type=click.UNPROCESSED had to be set explicitly. #2012 #3363

• The error hint now uses Command.get_help_option_names to pick non-shadowed help option names, so Try '... -h' no longer points to a subcommand option that shadows -h. All surviving names are shown (-h/--help). #2790 #3208

• Fix readline functionality on non-Windows platforms. Prompt text is now passed directly to readline instead of being printed separately, allowing proper backspace, line editing, and line wrapping behavior. #2968

OK, I won't notify you again about this release, but will get in touch when a new version is available. If you'd rather skip all updates until the next major or minor version, let me know by commenting @dependabot ignore this major version or @dependabot ignore this minor version. You can also ignore all major, minor, or patch releases for a dependency by adding an ignore condition with the desired update_types to your config file.

If you change your mind, just re-open this PR and I'll resolve any conflicts on it.
