-Subject: [PATCH] PICARD-3236: Revert PyJWT min. required version to 2.0
-
-This was changed to address CVE-2026-32597, but:
-
-1. The minimum supported version should be defined on
-   technical requirements.
-2. This upgraded requirement badly affects Linux distro versioning.
-3. To address security issues we must ensure to use
-   non-vulnerable versions. This is done by uv.lock and
-   taking care of proper builds.
-4. Given our use of JWT tokens CVE-2026-32597 does not seem to affect
-   Picard.
