Since 85c35e you cannot successfully run uv pip install softioc.

This is a necessary step of setup-scratch (I think). This makes Blueapi undeployable.

Steps To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Clone Blueapi
  2. Run dev container
  3. Run uv sync
  4. Run uv pip install softioc
  5. See error

Acceptance Criteria

  • Softioc can be installed

    This error appears to be caused by pythonSoftIOC not supporting Python 3.14 in the ubuntu-dev container, due to a library compatibility issue. Possible fixes:

    • Upgrade softIoc to provide a Python 3.14 wheel, or
    • Pin blueapi to Python 3.13
      I've tested this on p46 and confirmed it works there.

    Separately, the cameras aren't currently deployed on p46, which is unexpected — I suspect that's why it can't connect to the devices.
