Summary
sphinx-codelinks 1.2.0 (latest) pins sphinx>=7.4,<9 and sphinx-needs>=5,<9 in pyproject.toml, blocking downstream projects from upgrading to Sphinx 9.
Sphinx 9 was released 2025-11-30 (latest 9.1.0 on 2025-12-31). It dropped support for docutils 0.20, deprecated `sphinx.io`, rewrote `sphinx.ext.autodoc`, and made other smaller breaking changes. See https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/changes/9.0.html.
Current state
PR #65 added a tox factor matrix (`py{312,313,314}-sphinx{7,8,9}-needs{5,6,7,8}`), but:
- The CI workflow doesn't fan the factors out as separate jobs (recent runs show only generic `Pytest ()` jobs).
- The pyproject runtime pin still caps at `<9`, so a tox env requesting `sphinx>=9` would conflict with the package's own dependency.
So the `sphinx9-*` cells have never actually run; whether `sphinx-codelinks` works against Sphinx 9 is unknown.
