- Add django-mongodb-backend to dev dependencies - Make MongoDB port configurable via MONGODB_PORT env var - Add MONGODB_PORT to CI workflow and tox passenv - Add uv and pytest to tox allowlist_externals - Import os module in settings for environment variable access
django-mongodb-backend 5.2.0b1 is only compatible with Django 5.2, not with Django 5.0 or 5.1. Commenting out these test environments until version-specific packages can be configured.
tox-gh overrides env_list with its own configuration. Updated the [tool.tox.gh.python] section to only run django52 environment since django-mongodb-backend 5.2.0b1 is incompatible with Django 5.0/5.1.

PoC for the conversion from this custom backend to the official MongoDB Django backend.
db_column: This backend supports dotted pathdb_columnname for legacy data integration, the official one does not. This PoC 'monkey-patches' the official implementation. We could try to contribute a patch upstream, if the maintainers are willing to accept it.As a pre-caution the patcher calculates the method hash and verifies that the methods are unchanged.
