Subject: [PATCH] Relax numpy pin for Python 3.12 compatibility
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

numpy<1.24 transitively requires distutils, which was removed from
Python 3.12. The repo doesn't use any numpy 1.24+ deprecated aliases
(np.float_, np.bool_, np.int_, etc. — grep confirms zero matches),
so the upper bound is no longer needed.

Removing it lets pip resolve a modern numpy (which no longer depends
on distutils) and unblocks installation on Python 3.12+.

Fixes #388
