Description

Now that Python 3.14 is in its rc phase and free-threading is no longer an experimental configuration, would support for free-threading (and Python 3.14 itself) be possible?

I realize this is a huge ask considering how much of the SDK is in C++, but I thought asking couldn't hurt. 🙂

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are identified in the issue. Start by auditing the SDK's C++ components and Python compatibility assumptions against Python 3.14 free-threading, then define the required compatibility checks and test coverage. Done means the client officially supports Python 3.14 and free-threaded configurations.
