When a plugin requires a newer minor version of a non-core dependency
(e.g. sentry-sdk ~=2.59.0 while 2.58.0 is installed), the conflict
check now distinguishes upgrade-only conflicts from downgrade conflicts.
Non-core packages that only need upgrading are allowed through; the
runtime constraints file uses >= instead of == for non-core packages so
pip can satisfy the upgrade without risking a downgrade.
Core packages (fastapi, pydantic, sqlalchemy, etc.) remain strictly
pinned and any version mismatch is still rejected.
