Follow-up to the salvaged #76252 addressing both review gaps:
- New TestMinorLineFallForward class with a direct test of the
explicit-patch fallback branch: bare '3.12' resolves to a VULNERABLE
build while an explicit 3.12.x patch is fixed, so recovery must go
through _list_available_patches on the next minor line. Asserts the
exact `uv python install` request sequence.
- New all-minors-exhausted test: everything vulnerable on 3.11-3.13
returns None with per-line attempts bounded by _MAX_PATCH_RETRIES and
no requests beyond 3.13 (requires-python is <3.14).
- test_retry_is_bounded_by_max_retries_constant now actually uses its
counting wrapper and asserts the collected install calls (the
previous version collected them into a dead variable).
Also dedupes the fallback loop the same way the same-minor loop does:
_attempt_install_generation can now record the probed candidate version
into a caller-supplied tried_versions set, so the explicit-patch pass
skips the version the bare-minor request already resolved to and
rejected -- previously that wasted a full download+install+probe+delete
cycle per minor line re-trying a known-vulnerable build.
