Other (Configuration)

Description:

Bumps the following third-party dependencies to their latest releases:

Google Benchmark: v1.9.4 -> v1.9.5
CUTLASS: v4.3.5 -> v4.4.1
DLPack: v1.2 -> v1.3
pybind11: v3.0.1 -> v3.0.2
black: 25.12.0 -> 26.1.0
conda: black/black-jupyter 25.12.0 -> 26.1.0, protobuf/libprotobuf/libprotobuf-static 6.31.1 -> 6.33.5 (dm-tree blocker removed)
packaging upper limit: 25.0 -> 26.0

Additional information:

Affected modules and functionalities:

Updated submodule pointers for benchmark, cutlass, dlpack, and pybind11. Updated
black version in docker/Dockerfile, docker/Dockerfile.build.aarch64-linux, and
.github/workflows/lint.yml. Updated third_party/README.rst to reflect new versions.
Updated conda recipes (dali_native_libs, dali_python_bindings) with bumped protobuf
and black versions. Updated packaging upper limit in dali/python/setup.py.in.

Key points relevant for the review:

Routine dependency version bumps. No API or behavioral changes expected.
Protobuf can now be updated since dm-tree was replaced by optree (#6225).

Greptile Summary

This PR performs routine third-party dependency version bumps for March 2026, updating submodule pointers for Google Benchmark (1.9.4→1.9.5), CUTLASS (4.3.5→4.4.1), DLPack (1.2→1.3), and pybind11 (3.0.1→3.0.2), along with updating black (25.12.0→26.1.0), protobuf/libprotobuf (6.31.1→6.33.5), and the packaging upper bound (≤25.0→≤26.0). The protobuf update is unblocked by the prior replacement of dm-tree with optree (#6225).

Key observations:

All version references are updated consistently across every relevant file (CI workflow, Dockerfiles, conda recipes, pyproject.toml, setup.py.in, and README.rst).
Both pyproject.toml and docs/pyproject.toml have their required-version updated from '25' to '26', keeping black's version enforcement in sync with the pinned install.
Black uses calendar-based versioning (YY.MM.PATCH), so the "major" version change from 25 to 26 is a year rollover and is not expected to introduce significant reformatting of existing code.
No API or behavioral changes are introduced by any of these bumps.

Confidence Score: 5/5

This PR is safe to merge; all version bumps are minor/patch-level, consistently applied across all configuration files, and no API or behavioral changes are introduced.
All changes are purely version number updates in configuration files and submodule pointers. Every file that references a bumped dependency has been updated consistently. The protobuf jump (6.31.1→6.33.5) spans two minor versions but is explicitly unblocked by a prior PR. Black's year-rollover version bump (25.x→26.x) is accompanied by the required required-version changes in both pyproject.toml files. No logic, API surface, or behavioral code is touched.
No files require special attention.

Additional Comments (1)

pyproject.toml, line 4
Root pyproject.toml not updated to black v26

The root-level pyproject.toml still has required-version = '25' while black has been updated to 26.1.0 everywhere else (lint workflow, Dockerfiles, conda recipes, and docs/pyproject.toml). Black enforces this version check and will raise an error and refuse to run if the installed version doesn't satisfy required-version.

The CI lint job runs:

black --check --verbose ./tools ./dali/python ./dali_tf_plugin ./dali ./internal_tools ./qa

These paths fall under the root pyproject.toml configuration, so this will fail when black 26.x is invoked.

required-version = '26'
