Pull Request Overview

The PR updates mkdocs-material to version 9.7.6 to address security vulnerabilities and incorporate new features. Codacy analysis indicates the change is up to standards. No critical security flaws or major logic bugs were found in the implementation. However, this update introduces a specific version constraint for mkdocs (< 2.0.0) and marks the project's entry into a maintenance phase. Verification of the documentation build is required as the provided test scenarios are currently unaddressed.

About this PR

• Version 9.7.5 of the theme now explicitly restricts the mkdocs version to < 2.0.0. While the current project uses 1.6.1, this dependency update creates a hard constraint that will block future upgrades to mkdocs 2.0 until a theme migration occurs.
• The mkdocs-material project has officially entered maintenance mode until November 2026, after which users are expected to migrate to 'Zensical'. This is an important consideration for the long-term sustainability of the project's documentation stack.

Test suggestions

• Verify documentation build completes successfully using the new version 9.7.6.
• Verify that mkdocs version remains < 2.0.0 as required by the new material theme version.

Prompt proposal for missing tests

Consider implementing these tests if applicable:
1. Verify documentation build completes successfully using the new version 9.7.6.
2. Verify that mkdocs version remains < 2.0.0 as required by the new material theme version.
