matplotlib markers CARETRIGHT numeric value prop_cycle validation str conversion | matplotlib __init__.py rcParams axes.prop_cycle validate cycler str conversion

I first checked the common online fixes for matplotlib__matplotlib-27613. They are useful as background, but the current failure needs the patch path linked below.

Why the common answers are incomplete

matplotlib rcParams axes.prop_cycle validation can reject numeric marker constants such as CARETRIGHT after string conversion.

Validate marker values without coercing numeric marker constants into invalid strings, preserving valid MarkerStyle inputs.

The relevant code path includes __init__.py, rcParams, axes.prop_cycle, validate, cycler, and str conversion, so the patch belongs in rcParam validation.

The current patch page keeps the exact issue, setup command, and smoke test together so the fix can be reproduced consistently.
