fix(deps): bump the python-dependencies group in /backend with 3 updates

[dependabot]

Bumps the python-dependencies group in /backend with 3 updates: coverage, pydantic-settings and pylint.

Updates coverage from 7.15.3 to 7.15.4

Release notes

Sourced from coverage's releases.

7.15.4

Version 7.15.4 — 2026-08-06

• Fix: in the HTML report, a source file name containing a double quote (legal on POSIX) wasn’t escaped where it’s dropped into the href of the index and prev/next links, so it could close the attribute early and inject markup. Page URLs are now escaped. Thanks, Rajath Mohare.
• Fix: the LCOV report wrote file names and other fields into its line-oriented records without neutralizing control characters. A measured file whose name contained a newline (legal on POSIX) could forge extra records, inflating the coverage seen by tools that read the report. Control characters in a field are now replaced. Thanks, Rajath Mohare.
• Wheels are now provided for Python 3.15.

Updates pydantic-settings from 2.14.2 to 2.15.0

Release notes

Sourced from pydantic-settings's releases.

v2.15.0

Highlights

Behavior changes

• case_sensitive now applies to init kwargs and config-file sources (#900). InitSettingsSource and the JSON/TOML/YAML config sources previously ignored case_sensitive. Since it defaults to False, case-insensitive matching is now the default for these sources — e.g. Settings(TeSt=...) now populates a test field where it previously did not. Nested keys are still matched case-sensitively.
• Fields with unresolved forward references now emit a warning (#901). Settings sources can silently fail to resolve such fields; they now raise IncompleteFieldDefinitionWarning telling you to call model_rebuild(). If you have filterwarnings = error configured, this may surface as a new failure.
• Non-JSON env values for strict fields now raise ValidationError (#926) instead of a less specific error.

New features

• Show environment variable names in CLI help via cli_show_env_vars=True (#860), so generated --help output doubles as configuration documentation.
• PYDANTIC_SETTINGS_DEBUG for debugging settings resolution (#906, #913). Set it to a truthy value with DEBUG logging enabled to see each source's contribution in priority order, which source won for each value, and which env_file/secret files were probed, loaded, or skipped — the long-standing "why isn't my .env being picked up?" question.
• toml_table_header for regular TOML files (#882, #886, #887), letting you root settings at a nested table in any TOML file, not just pyproject.toml.
• Traversable support for JSON/TOML/YAML file sources (#902), so you can load config packaged inside a distribution — including files inside a zip or wheel — via importlib.resources.files(...) without casting to Path.
• GCP: project_id can come from an earlier settings source (#878), rather than only from the constructor or GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT.

Bug fixes

• Fix env vars not loading on Windows with case_sensitive=True (#894). Windows upper-cases os.environ keys, so fields raised Field required instead of picking up their values.
• Read secret files as UTF-8 instead of the platform locale encoding (#917). On Windows code pages such as cp1252 this silently corrupted non-ASCII secrets.
• Fix AliasPath on nested model fields not JSON-decoding env values (#898).
• Fix case-insensitive matching for optional nested models (#905).
• Fix dotenv extras being wrongly claimed by a complex field sharing a name prefix (#912) — e.g. dbx_token being swallowed by a db: dict field.
• Fix nested_model_default_partial_update=True corrupting discriminated unions (#876).
• Fix Secret subclasses crashing when loaded from the environment (#920).
• Fix enum names not parsing through nested annotations such as Optional[Annotated[MyEnum, ...]] with env_parse_enums=True (#910).
• An empty yaml_config_section now falls back to defaults instead of raising AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'keys' (#914).
• NestedSecretsSettingsSource no longer follows symlinks pointing outside secrets_dir (#889).
• GCP: skip the list_secrets call when case_sensitive=True (#862), lowering the required IAM permissions to just roles/secretmanager.secretAccessor.
• AWS: types-boto3[secretsmanager] is no longer required at runtime (#880).

Documentation

• Document JSON parsing of complex env values, plus a comma-separated-values recipe (#919).
• Recommend an async settings loading pattern (#908).
• Clarify behavior when an unprefixed value is present in a dotenv file (#895).
• Clarify environment variable helper descriptions (#867) and fix assorted typos (#904).
