From cf676a0f86e0372cca1a8d7fce2d32f7e710c7f2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Max Ghenis Date: Mon, 2 Feb 2026 21:13:50 -0500 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Add pandas 2+3 CI compatibility testing Add a focused CI job that tests policyengine-uk against both pandas 2.x and 3.x using a matrix strategy. Includes pandas compatibility test suite covering region parameter lookups, string dtype handling, and enum variables.
