What happened?

Stability Matrix fails to install Forge‑Neo on Linux Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS (Noble Numbat)
During installation, SM repeatedly attempts to install Python 3.13.12 using uv.
uv installs Python 3.13.12, but Stability Matrix cannot validate the installation:
UV listed Python at ...cpython-3.13.12... but PyInstallation.Exists() check failed.
Despite this failure, SM still uses Python 3.13.12 to create the venv:
Using Python 3.13.12 environment at: venv
Forge‑Neo then attempts to install torch under Python 3.13, which is unsupported by PyTorch, causing the installation to fail with exit code 1.
