Description

Pip 26.2 was released yesterday. This version removed private stdlib_pkgs symbol that pip-tools' sync command depends on, breaking our pipeline. This change fixes Pip and pip tools to the last known working versions. It does of course come with a maintenance burden; In future we can revert to using the latest stable version once this issue has been patched, or we no longer require the failing tools.

Changes:

• Fix Pip and pip tools verion in Makefile
