Conversation
https://cibuildwheel.pypa.io/en/stable/faq/#building-with-numpy mentions a trick to improving the chances of getting a precompiled binary wheel of NumPy: add an additional index to tell pip where it can find packages.

Code Review
The pull request introduces a cibuildwheel override configuration to enhance the discovery of precompiled NumPy binary wheels, specifically for Python 3.14 builds. This change adds an extra index URL and allows prerelease packages, which is a common and documented approach to address dependency resolution challenges for newer Python versions in build environments. The implementation adheres to the project's TOML style guide regarding indentation and includes clear comments explaining the purpose and source of the configuration.

On some OS + Python version combinations, binary wheels of NumPy and/or Pandas are not available, and qsim builds take extra long. Based on a tip described in the cibuildwheel documentation at https://cibuildwheel.pypa.io/en/stable/faq/#building-with-numpy, it can help to configure cibuildwheel such that it tells pip to look for binary wheels in additional locations such as pypi.anaconda.org.
