Agenda

Present:

Apologies: LC

CW: PETSc/SLEPc release woes

Example: https://github.com/firedrakeproject/firedrake/actions/runs/16026361480/job/45215200574

The problem is very obscure. I've identified it but the fix is to either always stick to the latest release or build petsc4py and slepc4py differently.

Merge PRs

Note that PRs put in this section should either be trivial or already have been reviewed. Discussion-worthy PRs should be separate agenda items.
