+Without them the same code runs in pure Python/NumPy; `SIMURG_PURE_PYTHON=1` forces that path.
 Only pure-Python dependencies are needed (numpy, pyarrow, typer, rich, pyyaml, openpyxl). VCF/BCF, tabix/CSI
 indexes and PLINK files are written by SimurgArray itself; bcftools/plink2 are not required (they are used only
 as test oracles).
