ReleasePort's take
Light signalThe golden-suite release v0.2.1 now requires goldencheck version ≥ 3.0.0 and defaults to an Arrow‑native scan path, removing the mandatory Polars dependency.
Why it matters: If your project uses goldencheck, update its requirement to >=3.0.0; otherwise the default Arrow‑native mode eliminates the need for Polars integration.
Summary
AI summaryMinimum goldencheck version raised to >=3.0.0 with Arrow-native default and optional Polars support.

Full changelog
Lockstep follow-on to goldencheck 3.0.0 (now on PyPI).
- goldencheck floor raised to goldencheck[polars]>=3.0.0. goldencheck 3.0.0 flips the default scan path to Arrow-native and Polars-free (pyarrow is a base dep); [polars] is kept for the scan_dataframe(pl.DataFrame) overload the bundled goldenmatch quality bridge uses.
Cut after goldencheck 3.0.0 landed on PyPI (member-on-PyPI-first).
Breaking Changes
- Minimum required goldencheck version increased to >=3.0.0 (base dependency pyarrow added; polars support optional via goldencheck[polars])
