Pull Request Overview

This PR addresses issue #62434 by adding strict=True to all zip() calls in pandas core level files to enable "zip strict" mode. This change ensures that zip operations explicitly validate that all iterables have the same length, helping catch potential bugs where mismatched lengths could cause silent data corruption or incorrect results.

Key Changes:

• Modified all zip() calls in core pandas files to use strict=True parameter
• Removed corresponding entries from the B905 exclusion list in pyproject.toml
• One exception uses strict=False where intentional length mismatch is expected

[nitpick] Consider adding a comment explaining why strict=False is intentionally used here, as it's the only exception to the strict zip pattern in this PR.

Suggested change

	# Intentionally use strict=False here: in some cases, indexer may be shorter or longer
	# than self.obj.axes, and we want to ignore any extra elements rather than raise an error.
	# This is the only exception to the strict zip pattern in this codebase.

[nitpick] Consider adding a comment explaining why strict=False is intentionally used here, as it deviates from the strict zip pattern being implemented throughout the codebase.

Suggested change

	check_key_length(self.columns, key, value)
	check_key_length(self.columns, key, value)
	# Intentionally use strict=False: key and value.columns may differ in length,
	# and we only want to assign for the overlapping pairs. This deviates from the
	# usual strict zip pattern in the codebase.
