+# Vendor Patches
+
+This directory contains patches and compatibility shims for the vendored pyprima code.
+
+## Contents
+
+- **`_scipy_compat.py`**: Compatibility shim that provides minimal implementations of scipy.optimize classes (`Bounds`, `LinearConstraint`, `NonlinearConstraint`, `OptimizeResult`) to allow pyprima to work without scipy as a dependency.
+
+- **`*.patch`**: Unified diff patches that modify the vendored pyprima code to use the compatibility shim instead of importing from scipy directly.
+
+## Patches
+
+1. **`01-__init__.py.patch`**: Changes imports in `src/pyprima/__init__.py` to use the compatibility shim.
+2. **`02-_bounds.py.patch`**: Changes imports in `src/pyprima/common/_bounds.py` to use the compatibility shim.
+3. **`03-_linear_constraints.py.patch`**: Changes imports in `src/pyprima/common/_linear_constraints.py` to use the compatibility shim.
+4. **`04-_project.py.patch`**: Changes imports in `src/pyprima/common/_project.py` to use the compatibility shim.
+
+## Application
+
+These patches are automatically applied by the `update_vendor.sh` script after updating the vendored code from the scipy repository. The script:
+
+1. Copies `_scipy_compat.py` to the pyprima source directory
+2. Applies all `.patch` files in order
+
+## Manual Application
+
+If you need to apply patches manually:
+
+```bash
+cd tact/vendor/pyprima
+cp ../patches/_scipy_compat.py src/pyprima/
+patch -p1 < ../patches/01-__init__.py.patch
+patch -p1 < ../patches/02-_bounds.py.patch
+patch -p1 < ../patches/03-_linear_constraints.py.patch
+patch -p1 < ../patches/04-_project.py.patch
+```
