Description
#2155 shows what's needed to do this, and there's little beyond upgrading certain dependencies.
Considerations:
- We may want to leave Python 3.12 running a little to ensure there are no problems there, before moving off that and possibly making any production issues, if they occur as a result, more difficult to diagnose.
- We should ensure that everyone can upgrade for local development: Python 3.13 is still fairly new, maybe there are issues with installation or binary wheel availability for different platforms.

Research direction
Start by reading issue #2155, which describes the required work, then locate the dependency and environment configuration it references. Check Python 3.13 installation and binary-wheel availability across supported development platforms, while keeping Python 3.12 available during validation. Done means the dependency upgrade works locally and production compatibility concerns are addressed.
