Thanks Saurabh, I'll try to take a look at this today

When pulling this locally to verify, I ran into an error while following the docker instructions. While you correctly added the new package to requirements/dev.in, you also need to lock the package versions into requirements/dev.txt, which is where the dockerfile pulls the dependencies from. Note there is a task for this: dependencies:upgrade:package

RUN --mount=type=cache,target=/root/.cache \
    pip install -U pip uv ruff && \
    python -m uv pip install \
      -r requirements/main.txt \
      -r requirements/dev.txt \
      -r requirements/production.txt aws

After I made that change, I pushed the commit here - which immediately failed tests! I didn't know we had tests! It also turns out the removed model_mommy package is still used by some tests, so I've added that back for now. I guess we'll squash merge :p

Otherwise, seems good! Thanks for making the change!

Hi @ArcaneIRE Thanks a lot for the detailed review and for fixing the dependency locking and model_mommy issues, that was really helpful. I’ve learned a bit more about the project’s tooling and tests from this, and I’ll keep it in mind for future contributions.

No problem!
