Description

The Windows GitHub Actions job was failing during dependency installation after jsonschema was added to the MSYS2-specific package subset. On that runner, jsonschema pulls in rpds-py, whose maturin build path rejects the x86_64-cygwin platform.

  • Windows workflow constraint

    • Document the existing Windows/MSYS2 dependency subset as intentionally excluding jsonschema.
    • Call out the specific failure mode (rpds-py / maturin on x86_64-cygwin) inline in build.yml.
  • Future-proofing

    • Make the reason for the reduced Windows dependency set obvious at the install site so the failing package is not reintroduced casually.
# Pick the subset we need for these builds, but avoid jsonschema here:
# its rpds-py dependency builds with maturin, which rejects x86_64-cygwin.

This fix is useless; I had to add jsonschema, without it the build fails.

@copilot https://packages.msys2.org/packages/mingw-w64-x86_64-python-maturin exists, so I don't understand your diagnosis
