The CI build fails because
setuptools_git(listed inpyproject.toml'sbuild-system.requires) invokesvcs_versioningto derive a version from git tags. On GitHub Actions' shallow clone, this produces0.0.post1.post1+gc6054028c— an invalid PEP 440 version — causing pip to abort before the build even starts.Changes
pyproject.toml: Dropsetuptools_git>=1.0frombuild-system.requires. The package already defines its version statically indronecan_gui_tool/version.py(__version__ = 1, 2, 28), so this dependency was never needed.
