Note

Upgrade vcrpy to v8 and update tests to use httpcore stubs with a new async handler, adding drop_unused_requests to VCR config.

• Dependencies:
  • Bump vcrpy to >=8 in pyproject.toml and packages/paper-qa-nemotron/pyproject.toml; update uv.lock (version 8.1.0).
• Tests:
  • Switch imports from vcr.stubs.httpx_stubs to vcr.stubs.httpcore_stubs in tests/conftest.py and packages/paper-qa-nemotron/tests/conftest.py.
  • Replace async VCR patch from _async_vcr_send to _vcr_handle_async_request and assign to vcr.stubs.httpcore_stubs._vcr_handle_async_request.
  • Add "drop_unused_requests": True to vcr_config.

Pull request overview

This PR upgrades the vcrpy dependency from version 6/7 to version 8, updating the codebase to use the new httpcore_stubs module instead of the deprecated httpx_stubs. This change aligns with vcrpy v8's internal API changes and enables the drop_unused_requests feature.

• Updated vcrpy dependency specification from >=6 to >=8 across all package configurations
• Migrated from vcr.stubs.httpx_stubs to vcr.stubs.httpcore_stubs module
• Updated monkey-patching logic to use _vcr_handle_async_request instead of _async_vcr_send with updated function signatures
• Enabled drop_unused_requests: True in VCR configuration for both test suites
