Note

Low Risk
Primarily version/documentation updates for a release; no runtime or security-sensitive code changes beyond packaging metadata.

Overview
Publishes pydeck v0.9.2 by bumping version metadata across the package (pyproject.toml, pydeck/_version.py, Sphinx docs/conf.py, and uv.lock).

Updates release documentation: refreshes docs/CHANGELOG.rst with 0.9.2 notes/date and adjusts PUBLISH.md TestPyPI install instructions to use uv venv plus --extra-index-url/--index-strategy so dependencies resolve from PyPI while pulling pydeck from TestPyPI.

Would it be possible to also publish pydeck-carto? Looks like it just takes a few version bumps

Yeah, the main thing stopping me from doing it would be not having pypi credentials. I'll DM you my usernames

This release is focused on stability and getting unreleased features out that have been hanging around for a couple of years. I agree, it'd be nice to add in a future release
