Ensure Pre-Commit Configuration Stays Updated with Future Python & PIP Upgrades

[ChasVanDav]

Description

Following the recent update of Black to v24.8.0 and Click to v8.1.8 (PR #525 & #565), @monikkaelyse pointed out the need to review the entire pre-commit configuration in light of the upcoming Python and PIP upgrades. This will help ensure compatibility and prevent future issues.

Why This Matters

The latest Black update resolved compatibility issues with Click.
However, upcoming changes to Python/PIP may require additional updates.
Keeping dependencies aligned will prevent broken builds and runtime errors.

Tasks to Complete

• Review the pre-commit YAML file to identify other dependencies that may need updating.
• Cross-check the current pre-commit hooks against the latest Python & PIP versions.
• Determine if future updates will require additional modifications.
• Update documentation (if necessary) to reflect best practices for maintaining pre-commit dependencies.

Note: This issue is marked as "Not Ready for Work" until the Python and PIP upgrades are completed.
