Description

nanobind is a more efficient alternative to pybind11. The Micro Manager documentation can recommend it for creating Python-importable micro problem libraries. Before changing the documentation, ensure that existing Micro Manager functionality works with a nanobind-based micro problem library. This issue is prompted by the porting in https://github.com/DataAnalyticsEngineering/FANS/pull/155

Research direction

Review the Micro Manager documentation for creating Python-importable micro problem libraries and the porting context in FANS pull request #155. First verify that existing Micro Manager functionality works with a nanobind-based library, then update the relevant documentation to recommend nanobind. Done means both the compatibility check succeeds and the documentation reflects the recommendation.
