Upgrade azure-identity to 1.17.1 and resolve Flask/Werkzeug dependency conflicts

[Copilot]

This PR resolves the dependency conflict that caused Dependabot PR #50 to fail CI when attempting to upgrade azure-identity.

Problem

Dependabot PR #50 attempted to upgrade azure-identity but failed with the following dependency conflict:

ERROR: Cannot install flask==2.2.0 because these package versions have conflicting dependencies.
The conflict is caused by:
    The user requested flask==2.2.0
    flask 2.2.0 depends on werkzeug>=2.0.0
    werkzeug 1.0.1 is incompatible with flask 2.2.0

Root Cause

Newer versions of azure-identity introduce Flask as a transitive dependency (likely for local authentication flows). Flask 2.2.0+ requires werkzeug>=2.0.0, but the environment had werkzeug 1.0.1, creating a version conflict that prevented installation.

Solution

1. Upgraded azure-identity: From 1.16.1 to 1.17.1, accomplishing the same goal as the failed Dependabot PR
2. Added explicit werkzeug constraint: Pinned werkzeug>=2.0.0 to ensure compatible versions when Flask is pulled in as a dependency
3. Fixed configuration warnings: Updated pyproject.toml to use the new ruff configuration format

Verification

To verify the fix works:

python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements-dev.txt

This should now install successfully without the Flask/Werkzeug version conflicts that prevented the original Dependabot PR from passing CI.

Changes Made

• src/requirements.txt: Upgraded azure-identity==1.17.1 and added werkzeug>=2.0.0
• pyproject.toml: Moved ruff configuration to new [tool.ruff.lint] section format

This is a minimal, surgical fix that addresses the specific dependency conflict while allowing the desired azure-identity upgrade to proceed.

Fixes #87.
