Bumps QoolQit to v1.6.0 (pyproject.toml, qoolqit/__init__.py) and drops Python 3.10:

• requires-python is now >=3.11. The classifiers, the test matrix and the Quick Run Guide follow.
• Python 3.14 is added to the classifiers and the test matrix. Docs, lint and publish already ran on 3.14.
• networkx>=3.5 (3.5 is the first release that needs Python 3.11). This removes the tolerance workaround for older networkx in test_spring_layout_positions.
• Drops the PyPy classifier: torch only ships CPython wheels, so QoolQit can't be installed on PyPy.
• Sets Development Status to 4 - Beta (was 3 - Alpha), to match a 1.x release that still makes breaking changes in minor versions.
• Updates the ruff pre-commit hook to v0.17.4.

QoolQit v1.6.0 digest

Breaking changes

• Python 3.10 is no longer supported. QoolQit needs Python 3.11 or later, and networkx 3.5 or later (this PR).
• The dev extra is gone. Contributors install with pip install -e . --group dev (pip 25.1+) or uv sync. Users still install qoolqit[extras] (Move development dependencies to dependency groups and drop Hatch config #558).
• A Waveform subclass overriding __repr_content__ must rename it to _repr_content (and __repr_header__ to _repr_header), since __x__ names are reserved for Python (Clean up repr helpers and document magic methods #552).

Fixes

• Job.results() no longer floods the provider's API with status requests. For remote jobs it now waits between requests, starting at 2 s and doubling up to 30 s. It logs each change of status at INFO level on the qoolqit.execution.job logger, which is silent unless logging is enabled (Back off and log when waiting for remote job results #562).

New

• Device.phase_jump_time: the phase-jump time of the rydberg_global channel, in adimensional units (Add phase_jump_time to Device #560).

Docs

• New Extended Usage notebook on noise: shows how the noise of a real QPU affects the dynamics of a blockaded two-atom register (Adding a Notebook to explain the noise usage in Extended Usage #539).
• Every public method and magic method now has a docstring. The D102, D103 and D105 ruff rules are enabled (Fix D103 docstring violations and enable D103 #551, Clean up repr helpers and document magic methods #552, Document public methods and enable D102 and D105 #554).

Internal

• CI installs with uv (Move CI workflows to uv #548). Development dependencies moved to PEP 735 dependency groups (test, docs, dev), and the Hatch config is gone (Move development dependencies to dependency groups and drop Hatch config #558).
• mypy runs in the project environment, so it sees the types of qoolqit's dependencies. Its current errors are ignored for now (Run mypy in the project environment and ignore its current errors #564).
• The ruff-check pre-commit hook replaces ruff, and pydocstringformatter is dropped (Switch to ruff-check hook and drop pydocstringformatter #550).
• The notebooks CI job is removed. The docs build encrypts notebook kernel traffic and logs run times (Remove the notebooks CI job #556, Encrypt notebook kernel traffic and log run times in docs build #555).
• Mock backends in tests use a real EmulationConfig (Use a real EmulationConfig in mock backends in tests #553).
• GitHub Actions updates through Renovate (Renovate: use full versions in Actions comments and fast-track security fixes #543, Update actions/setup-python digest to 6d4fd22 #544, Update actions/checkout action to v7.0.1 #545, Update actions/download-artifact action to v8.0.2 #546, Update actions/upload-artifact action to v7.0.2 #547, Update actions/setup-python action to v7.1.0 #568).
