Description
Hi,
Context:
I am new to Python coding.
numpy version 1.21.5 has a security vulnerability https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues/18993.
This dependency is a transitive dependency not a direct dependency. We are sure that in our code we are not using any functionality that requires this
transitive dependency.
Request:
Is there any way to configure the requirement.txt to exclude transitive dependency ?
I see the issue is fixed in version 1.22.0* ---- unfortunately this is not in a stable release yet -- what is the time line for version 1.22.0 to become stable?
Please any help is really appreciated. Please do respond.

Research direction
The request concerns requirements.txt and handling the vulnerable transitive numpy dependency, but it names no source files, tests, or implementation entry points. First determine how pygradle generates requirements.txt and whether dependency exclusions are supported; done would be a documented or implemented way to exclude the transitive dependency while preserving valid dependency resolution.
