Description
## Description
### Problem
Starting from version `4.31.0`, the `algoliasearch` introduced a strict `urllib3` version requirement (`urllib3 >= 2.2.3`) that creates dependency conflicts with other packages in our ecosystem that still require `urllib3 < 2.0.0`.
### Details
**Affected version**: algoliasearch >= `4.31.0`
**Previous version (working)**: algoliasearch `4.29.0 with urllib3 >= 1.25.3` (no upper bound)
**Current version constraint**: `urllib3 >= 2.2.3`
### Dependency Conflict
We use `http-utils` (an internal package) which requires `urllib3 >= 1.26.4, < 2.0.0`. This creates an unsolvable dependency conflict with `algoliasearch >= 4.31.0`.
**Poetry dependency resolution error:** Because `algoliasearch (4.31.0`) depends on `urllib3 (>=2.2.3)` and `http-utils (0.1.4)` depends on `urllib3 (>=1.26.4,<2.0.0)`, `algoliasearch (>=4.31.0,<5.0.0)` is incompatible with `http-utils`.
### Environment
**Python version**: `3.12`
**Package manager**: Poetry
**algoliasearch version**: Attempting to use `4.31.0`
**Conflicting package**: `http-utils 0.1.4` (requires `urllib3 < 2.0.0`)
Contributor guide
Research direction
No source file or test is named. Reproduce the Poetry resolution conflict with algoliasearch 4.31.0, urllib3, and http-utils 0.1.4, then inspect the package metadata for the urllib3 constraint. Done means the published dependency constraints no longer make this combination unsolvable while preserving supported Python 3.12 compatibility.
