# yt-dlp hardcodes the range of curl_cffi versions it will import and silently
# disables --impersonate when the installed version is outside it. Support for
# 0.16.x landed in yt-dlp 2026.08.19; older yt-dlp degrades with no error.
# Re-check this bound against yt_dlp/networking/_curlcffi.py on every bump.

# Upstream still asserts the JA3 hashes curl-cffi's README advertised in
# 0.2.1 (2023, lwthiker-era lib): a macOS Chrome 101 capture and a Safari
# 16.x one. The lexiforest curl-impersonate fork linked here targets
# Windows 10 for chrome101/edge101 and ships a corrected Safari
# 15.5-on-macOS-12.4 signature (tests/signatures/*.yaml), which our lib
# reproduces byte-exact. Upstream CI never runs these tests (cibuildwheel
# runs tests/unittest only), so the expectations went stale. Re-check the
# hashes against curl-impersonate's signature DB on every bump.
