Subject: [PATCH 05/10] Fix secrets file lookup for multi-Python matrix

Use modulo arithmetic to map job index to secrets file index,
ensuring that adding Python versions to the matrix doesn't break
the secrets file lookup. Each test pattern maps to the same
secrets file regardless of Python version.

The number of secrets files is determined dynamically from
the extracted tarball.

Subject: [PATCH 09/10] Ignore ruff TC rules until beartype supports
 TYPE_CHECKING

Beartype requires imports to be available at runtime, not just under
`if TYPE_CHECKING`. See https://github.com/beartype/beartype/discussions/594
for when beartype 0.23 will add support for TYPE_CHECKING imports.

Subject: [PATCH 10/10] Remove runtime beartype application to test functions

Python 3.14's deferred annotation evaluation (PEP 649) causes
`_Stringifier.__format__` to raise a TypeError when beartype
inspects function signatures at test collection time.

This is a workaround until beartype 0.23 is released with full
Python 3.14 support.

See:
- https://github.com/beartype/beartype/discussions/594
- https://github.com/beartype/beartype/pull/440
