Summary
Why
This follows up on Mitch's review comment in #246. The update command had been exercised locally on Windows and WSL, but Mitch encountered an
error: externally-managed-environmentfailure in a native Linux virtual environment. That surfaced an important gap: behavior that looks correct in one local environment can still fail under another operating system's Python packaging rules.Running the test suite on native GitHub-hosted Linux, Windows, and macOS runners should expose these cross-environment differences earlier in pull requests.
Test matrix
Python 3.9 is tested only on Linux to provide the closest practical GitHub-hosted approximation for continued T7 support without multiplying every Python version across every operating system.
Solaris is not included because GitHub does not provide a hosted Solaris runner. Supporting it would require separately managed infrastructure rather than a standard Actions runner.
Runtime impact
The four jobs run in parallel. Existing Linux jobs generally complete in under a minute, so this should increase total runner usage more than pull request wall-clock time. The matrix intentionally avoids the six-job full operating-system/Python cross-product.
