Walkthrough

Unexcludes core_patterns.txt from license scanning, removes two entries from bindings/core_patterns.txt, stops passing a custom pattern file to stub generation, bumps nanobind to ~2.11.0 in packaging and CI, and adds module docstrings in several binding and .pyi files.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
License config .license-tools-config.json	Removed "core_patterns.txt" from the exclude list so it is scanned by the license tool.
Pattern files bindings/core_patterns.txt	Deleted two pattern entries: _hashable_values_ and _unhashable_values_map_.
Stub generation noxfile.py	Removed pattern_file assignment and the --pattern-file argument passed to nanobind.stubgen; stubgen now uses default patterns.
Packaging & CI pyproject.toml, .github/workflows/ci.yml	Updated nanobind requirement to ~2.11.0 in pyproject and bumped nanobind package version in CI install steps.
Binding module docs bindings/dd/register_dd.cpp, bindings/ir/register_ir.cpp, bindings/na/register_fomac.cpp, bindings/na/register_na.cpp	Added or refined module-level documentation strings (m.doc()) in multiple nanobind registration files.
Stub docstrings python/mqt/core/dd.pyi, python/mqt/core/ir/__init__.pyi, python/mqt/core/na/__init__.pyi, python/mqt/core/na/fomac.pyi	Inserted module-level docstrings at the top of several .pyi stub files.

Poem

I’m a rabbit with a tidy hop, 🐰
I nudged two patterns from the crop,
Brought a file back into the light,
Bumped a version, docs made bright,
Hoppity-hop — the stubs take flight!

In `@bindings/ir/register_ir.cpp`:
- Around line 25-27: The module docstring assigned to m.doc() contains an extra
space between "IR" and the hyphen; update the string passed to m.doc() (the
R"pb(... )pb" literal) to remove the double space so it reads "MQT Core IR - The
MQT Core Intermediate Representation (IR) module." ensuring the change is made
in the docstring literal used in register_ir.cpp.
