What changed, and why it matters
This commit simply removes an unused third-party Python library called cbor2 from the project's dependency list. There is no indication of a security vulnerability, no code changes, and no fix applied. It appears to be routine dependency cleanup.
No security action needed. Treat as routine maintenance.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
