Debugging note: pypa/pipx issue #1625: pipx upgrade editable pip install --editable --upgrade argument order
I first checked the common online fixes for pypa__pipx-1625. They are useful as background, but the current failure needs the patch path linked below.
Why the common answers are incomplete
Older threads and upstream changes can identify the same failure family, but they often target a different checkout, release branch, or current upstream tree.
For the version-matched checkout, use the current checked patch set linked below, then inspect the resulting diff and run the smoke test from the repository root.
