Track conda-forge win-arm64 packages needed to drop environment-dev-win-arm64.yml
Windows ARM64 shared-library CI currently uses dev/environment-dev-win-arm64.yml instead of dev/environment-dev.yml, because several development and test dependencies are not yet published (or not yet solvable) for win-arm64 on conda-forge.
Once the packages below are available, we should:
- use
dev/environment-dev.ymlonwindows-11-armas well - delete
dev/environment-dev-win-arm64.yml - stop skipping the tests that depend on those packages

Packages that currently fail to solve on win-arm64
These are listed in environment-dev.yml (or required by tests / static CI) and cannot currently be installed from conda-forge for win-arm64:
| Package | Why we need it | Notes |
|---|---|---|
cxx-compiler |
libmamba / micromamba build | Replaced by vs2022_win-arm64 plus ilammy/msvc-dev-cmd in CI |
pkg-config |
CMake dependency discovery | Migration PR: conda-forge/pkg-config-feedstock#49 |
make |
Unix build helper in environment-dev.yml |
Optional on Windows (Ninja is used) |
cryptography |
dependency of conda-content-trust and mitmproxy |
No win-arm64 build; also blocked upstream: pyca/cryptography#14293 |
bcrypt |
pinned extra for mitmproxy |
No win-arm64 build |
mitmproxy |
micromamba/tests/test_proxy.py (mitmdump) |
noarch, but unsolvable without cryptography / bcrypt |
conda-content-trust |
signed-repo tests (micromamba/test-server/reposerver.py) |
noarch, but unsolvable without cryptography |
mypy |
libmambapy stub generation |
Current builds do not solve with Python 3.14 on win-arm64 |
doxygen |
documentation | No win-arm64 build |
binutils |
PE/DLL check in the Windows static build | No win-arm64 build; previous attempt: conda-forge/binutils-feedstock#89 |
Python on this platform is currently 3.14 (and experimental 3.15). environment-dev-win-arm64.yml pins python=3.14 for that reason.
Tests skipped until the corresponding packages exist
| Test / job | Missing package | Skip mechanism |

Windows static build (Check micromamba PE dependencies) |
binutils (objdump) |
job step skipped when matrix.arch == 'arm64' |
pytest-xprocess, pywin32, zstandard, and memory_profiler can already be solved on win-arm64 as of this writing, but they are still omitted from the reduced environment. They can be added incrementally; unifying on environment-dev.yml remains blocked by the compiled packages above.
Close when
- The packages in the table install on
win-arm64from conda-forge - CI uses
dev/environment-dev.ymlfor Windows ARM64 -
dev/environment-dev-win-arm64.ymlis removed - The skips listed above are dropped (or only remain as generic missing-optional-dep guards)
