Research direction

Start with pyproject.toml lines 194-195 and read the linked astropy issue 16916 to understand the dependency block. Confirm what free-threaded Python wheel support requires for photutils, then verify that photutils installs successfully with free-threaded Python and remains usable by acstools.
