The `docs` group in pyproject.toml was legacy from the pre-Mintlify
Sphinx setup — nothing in mellea/, cli/, docs/, tooling/, or test/
imports sphinx_rtd_theme, sphinx-autodoc-typehints, or sphinx_mdinclude
anymore (docs are now built from docs/docs/docs.json + tooling/docs-autogen/).
The group transitively installs sphinx itself. Sphinx 9.1.0 (2025-12-31)
adopted PEP 695 `type` statement syntax, which mypy rejects under our
pinned python_version = "3.11", breaking fresh `uv sync` runs with:
.venv/.../sphinx/ext/autodoc/_property_types.py:30:
error: Type statement is only supported in Python 3.12 and greater
Workaround until now: `uv pip uninstall sphinx`. Real fix: drop the
unused group. Also removes the orphaned "Documentation and notebooks"
comment since only the notebook group remains.

Description
The
docsdependency group inpyproject.tomlwas a legacy leftover from the pre-Mintlify Sphinx setup. Nothing inmellea/,cli/,docs/,tooling/, ortest/imports any of its packages (sphinx_rtd_theme,sphinx-autodoc-typehints,sphinx_mdinclude) — docs are now built via Mintlify (docs/docs/docs.json) andtooling/docs-autogen/.The group transitively installed
sphinxitself, and starting with sphinx 9.1.0 (released 2025-12-31), sphinx adopted PEP 695typestatement syntax. Our mypy config pinspython_version = "3.11", so freshuv syncruns after ~March 2026 started failing the mypy pre-commit hook with:If you searched for that error and landed here: the previous workaround was
uv pip uninstall sphinx, but the real fix is to drop the unused group entirely (this PR).Followup from #1041, which hit this same issue during commit.
Testing
(Pure deletion — no new code to test. Verified locally:
uv run mypy .now passes without the sphinx workaround;uv run ruff format/checkclean.)Attribution
