issue. Otherwise, it will be closed in 15 days.

As an open-source project, we rely on community contributions to

31+

address many of the reported issues. Without a proposed fix or

32+

active work towards a solution it is our policy to close inactive

33+

issues. This is documented in CONTRIBUTING.rst

34+35+

**How to keep this issue open:**

36+

* If you are still experiencing this issue and are willing to

37+

investigate a fix, please comment and let us know.

38+

* If you (or someone else) can propose a pull request with a

39+

solution, that would be fantastic.

40+

* Any significant update or active discussion indicating progress

41+

will also prevent closure.

42+43+

We value your input. If you can help provide a fix, we'd be happy

44+

to keep this issue open and support your efforts.

51+52+

This open-source project relies on community contributions, and

53+

while we value all feedback, we have a limited capacity to address

54+

every issue without a clear path forward.

55+56+

Currently, this issue hasn't received a proposed fix, and there

57+

hasn't been recent active discussion indicating someone is planning

58+

to work on it. To maintain a manageable backlog and focus our

59+

efforts, we will be closing this issue for now.

60+61+

**This doesn't mean the issue isn't valid or important.** If you or

62+

anyone else in the community is willing to investigate and propose

63+

a solution (e.g., by submitting a pull request), please do.

64+65+

We believe that those who feel a bug is important enough to fix

66+

should ideally be part of the solution. Your contributions are

67+

highly welcome.

68+69+

Thank you for your understanding and potential future

70+

contributions.
