Summary

similar to #16719

found in an automated PR to astropy, which boils down to just commiting the result of uv remove astropy-iers-data && uv add astropy-iers-data (+ some related changes which are not relevant here).

See the diff from the first commit of astropy/astropy#19461:
astropy/astropy@be46a46

(a second commit was then performed manually to revert the unwanted part)

Or, for a MRE: starting with this pyproject.toml

[project]
name = "test"
version = "0.1.0"
dependencies = [
    "numpy>=2.4.3", # this comment is clearly essential
    "requests>=2.32.5",
]

and then running uv remove requests produces the following diff

diff --git a/pyproject.toml b/pyproject.toml
