A quiet day: five extra-x86_64 package updates landed in archlinux/state, while archinstall tightened its linting and pre-commit setup.

Caleb Maclennan pushed five routine updates to archlinux/state [1][2], including onefetch 2.28.1-1, rio 0.5.27-1, exiv2 0.28.9-1, and dua-cli 2.44.0-1, all in extra-x86_64. Antonio Rojas bumped rocblas to 7.2.4-3 in extra-staging-x86_64 [3], which is a staging rebuilt flagging build or dependency changes. archinstall focused on tooling: codefiles refactored ArchConfigType members to use auto() [4], a purely internal change with no behavior shift. The same author fixed the pre-commit mypy hook [5][6] by ceasing to pass filenames, which was overriding the `files` configuration in pyproject.toml; the hook now respects that config. Renovate updated the astral-sh/ruff-pre-commit hook from v0.16.4 to v0.16.5 [7], and the team enabled Ruff's RUF015 rule [8], which flags unnecessary iterable allocation for first element, so future code will avoid that pattern. archweb also merged a dependabot bump of types-bleach from 6.4.0.20260607 to 6.4.0.20260728 [9], a dev-dependency type stubs update.
