Description

`uv add magika` does not work on macos-12 (`pip install magika` does work well).

This is not related to the latest 0.6.1 version, it was also happening for 0.5.1.

```shell
$ uv init
$ uv add magika

error: Distribution `onnxruntime==1.21.0 @ registry+https://pypi.org/simple` can't be installed because it doesn't have a source distribution or wheel for the current platform

hint: You're on macOS (`macosx_12_0_arm64`), but `onnxruntime` (v1.21.0) only has wheels for the following platforms: `manylinux_2_27_aarch64`, `manylinux_2_27_x86_64`, `manylinux_2_28_aarch64`, `manylinux_2_28_x86_64`, `macosx_13_0_universal2`, `win_amd64`
```

The problem is not with magika, but with `onnxruntime`. As in: `uv add onnxruntime` fails as well (with a similar error).

One workaround is to tell `uv` which `onnxruntime` version to use (e.g., `uv add onnxruntime==1.19.1`); then `uv add magika` works.

Not sure what's the best way to solve this. It seems the problem is only on old mac version such as `macos-12` (we do test `uv add magika` for `macos-14`, and everything works well). Ideally, we would constraint the `onnxruntime` version only for `macos-12` or so. Not sure it's possible though.

Research direction

Start by reproducing `uv add magika` and `uv add onnxruntime` on macOS 12, then compare the dependency resolution with macOS 14 and the working `onnxruntime==1.19.1` workaround. Determine the project dependency metadata that controls the selected version; done means installation succeeds on macOS 12 without regressing supported newer macOS versions.
