FIG-4121:1

`Dependabot` drops `Python 3.9` support on June 23, 2026

Repos still pinned to old runtimes may lose reliable dependency updates. Check CI images and package metadata now; this is a small but concrete maintenance task.

[ KEY POINTS ]
  1. Support ends on June 23, 2026 because Python 3.9 is end-of-life; update runtime targets before automated PRs start failing.
  2. Risk concentrates in repos where Dependabot must resolve Python dependencies against 3.9; stale apps may stop getting clean security-update PRs.
  3. Best next step: bump python-version, Docker base images, and package classifiers together so CI and dependency automation agree.
