Research direction
Start by reproducing the failure at the import cv2 entry point and record the installed Python, OpenCV, and NumPy versions. Check the project's installation requirements and dependency history for a supported version combination. Done means importing cv2 succeeds without the NumPy API or multiarray errors.
