Description

We shouldn't require pandas or sqlalchemy when installing csp. These should be removable by making the pandas extension optional and deferring the sqlalchemy adapter import.

Research direction

Start by inspecting csp's installation dependency metadata and the imports that load the pandas extension and SQLAlchemy adapter. Confirm that csp installs without pandas or sqlalchemy, while the optional pandas extension and deferred SQLAlchemy adapter import still work when those dependencies are available.
