Bump (or relax) the policyengine-us pin — 1.729.0 is behind 1.742.0

Problem

policyengine 4.18.2 pins policyengine-us==1.729.0 (exact, via the us/models/dev extras). That's well behind the current policyengine-us (1.742.0), and the exact pin means a downstream project can't install policyengine[us] alongside a newer policyengine-us — pip rejects the conflict.

Impact

The Child Poverty Impact Dashboard wants to adopt policyengine.py as its analytics framework, but depends on policyengine-us features newer than 1.729.0:

• Rhode Island CTC (1.731.0)
• SC dependent-exemption parameter (1.740.0)
• SC fully-refundable EITC contrib reform (1.741.0)

Adopting policyengine[us] today would regress those.

Ask

Bump the pinned policyengine-us to the latest (1.742.0), and ideally relax the exact == pin to a floor (>=) so downstream consumers can move ahead without waiting on a policyengine.py release each time. Happy to open a PR if useful.

Search the package metadata for the us, models, and dev extras and locate the exact policyengine-us==1.729.0 pin. Review the packaging dependency constraints, update them to address compatibility with versions 1.742.0 and newer, then verify that the extras install without pip conflicts and retain the requested newer policy features.
