Start by reproducing `pip3 install asyncpg` on the reported macOS M1 and Python 3.9.7 environment, then trace the displayed pip build-dependency traceback. No project file or test is named; done means determining whether asyncpg causes the installation failure and identifying a reproducible project-side scope.
