* [skip ci] Point main README.rst to CI for supported platforms and compilers
- **Replace** the hard-coded “Supported compilers” and “Supported platforms” lists in `README.rst`.
- **Point** readers to the current GitHub Actions matrix as the source of truth for tested platforms, compilers, and Python/C++ versions.
- **Clarify** that the matrix evolves over time and that configurations users care about can be kept working via contributions.
- **Avoid stale documentation**: Enumerating specific compiler and platform versions in the README is both burdensome and error-prone, and tends to drift out of sync with reality.
- **Align “supported” with “tested”**: In practice, the CI configuration is the only place where we can say with confidence which combinations are exercised. Nearby versions (e.g., adjacent compiler minor releases) will often work, but we cannot test every variant.
- **Reflect actual maintenance capacity**: pybind11 is maintained by a small, volunteer-based community, so support is necessarily best-effort. Pointing to CI and inviting contributions better matches how support is provided in practice.
- **No behavior change**: This PR updates documentation only.
- **Living source of truth**: As CI jobs are added or removed, the linked Actions view will automatically reflect the set of configurations we actively test. Keeping a configuration in CI is the best way to keep it “supported”.

This define was
* introduced with https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/5286
* removed with https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/5531
It is has been in use here:
* f02a2b7653/pybind11_protobuf/native_proto_caster.h (L89-L101)
Currently pybind11 unit tests for the two holder caster backwards compatibility traits

* `move_only_holder_caster_unique_ptr_with_smart_holder_support_enabled`
are missing.
* Add py::trampoline_self_life_support to all trampoline examples under docs/.
Address suggestion by @timohl:
* https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/5542#issuecomment-2686452062
Add to the "please think twice" note: the overhead for safety is likely in the noise.
Also fix a two-fold inconsistency introduced by revert-commit 1e646c91b4:
1.
py::trampoline_self_life_support is mentioned in a note, but is missing in the example right before.
2.
The section starting with
To enable safely passing a ``std::unique_ptr`` to a trampoline object between
is obsolete.
* Fix whitespace accident (indentation) introduced with 1e646c91b4
Apparently the mis-indentation was introduced when resolving merge conflicts for what became 1e646c91b4
* WHITESPACE CHANGES ONLY in README.rst (list of people that made significant contributions)
* Add Ethan Steinberg to list of people that made significant contributions (for completeness, unrelated to smart_holder work).
* [ci skip] Add to list of people that made significant contributions: major and/or influential contributors to smart_holder branch

docs: pybind11/numpy.h does not require numpy at build time. (#2720)
This is nice enough to be mentioned explicitly in the docs.
docs: Update warning about Python 3.9.0 UB, now that 3.9.1 has been released (#2719)
Adjusting `type_caster<std::reference_wrapper<T>>` to support const/non-const propagation in `cast_op`. (#2705)
* Allow type_caster of std::reference_wrapper<T> to be the same as a native reference.
Before, both std::reference_wrapper<T> and std::reference_wrapper<const T> would
invoke cast_op<type>. This doesn't allow the type_caster<> specialization for T
to distinguish reference_wrapper types from value types.
After, the type_caster<> specialization invokes cast_op<type&>, which allows
reference_wrapper to behave in the same way as a native reference type.
* Add tests/examples for std::reference_wrapper<const T>
* Add tests which use mutable/immutable variants
This test is a chimera; it blends the pybind11 casters with a custom
pytype implementation that supports immutable and mutable calls.
In order to detect the immutable/mutable state, the cast_op needs
to propagate it, even through e.g. std::reference<const T>
Note: This is still a work in progress; some things are crashing,
which likely means that I have a refcounting bug or something else
missing.
* Add/finish tests that distinguish const& from &
Fixes the bugs in my custom python type implementation,
demonstrate test that requires const& and reference_wrapper<const T>
being treated differently from Non-const.
* Add passing a const to non-const method.
* Demonstrate non-const conversion of reference_wrapper in tests.
Apply formatting presubmit check.
* Fix build errors from presubmit checks.
* Try and fix a few more CI errors
* More CI fixes.
* More CI fixups.
* Try and get PyPy to work.
* Additional minor fixups. Getting close to CI green.
* More ci fixes?
* fix clang-tidy warnings from presubmit
* fix more clang-tidy warnings
* minor comment and consistency cleanups
* PyDECREF -> Py_DECREF
* copy/move constructors
* Resolve codereview comments
* more review comment fixes
* review comments: remove spurious &
* Make the test fail even when the static_assert is commented out.
This expands the test_freezable_type_caster a bit by:
1/ adding accessors .is_immutable and .addr to compare identity
from python.
2/ Changing the default cast_op of the type_caster<> specialization
to return a non-const value. In normal codepaths this is a reasonable
default.
3/ adding roundtrip variants to exercise the by reference, by pointer
and by reference_wrapper in all call paths. In conjunction with 2/, this
demonstrates the failure case of the existing std::reference_wrpper conversion,
which now loses const in a similar way that happens when using the default cast_op_type<>.
* apply presubmit formatting
* Revert inclusion of test_freezable_type_caster
There's some concern that this test is a bit unwieldly because of the use
of the raw <Python.h> functions. Removing for now.
* Add a test that validates const references propagation.
This test verifies that cast_op may be used to correctly detect
const reference types when used with std::reference_wrapper.
* mend
* Review comments based changes.
1. std::add_lvalue_reference<type> -> type&
2. Simplify the test a little more; we're never returning the ConstRefCaster
type so the class_ definition can be removed.
* formatted files again.
* Move const_ref_caster test to builtin_casters
* Review comments: use cast_op and adjust some comments.
* Simplify ConstRefCasted test
I like this version better as it moves the assertion that matters
back into python.
