Greptile Overview

Greptile Summary

This PR updates the docs nox sessions to avoid PEP517 build isolation issues by explicitly pinning setuptools==80.10.2 (and installing wheel/versioneer-518) and installing the repo with pip --no-build-isolation before running the docs build steps.

The change is confined to noxfiles/docs_nox.py, affecting both local docs generation (generate_docs) and the dockerized CI-style docs build (docs_check).

Confidence Score: 4/5

• This PR is low-risk and close to mergeable, but docs_check may still fail in the container due to missing build prerequisites.
• Changes are small and targeted to docs build tooling. The main remaining concern is an inconsistency between the host generate_docs() prerequisites (setuptools/wheel/versioneer) and the dockerized docs_check prerequisites (setuptools only), which can reintroduce the original failure mode inside the container if those packages aren’t already present.
• noxfiles/docs_nox.py

Important Files Changed

Missing wheel/versioneer in container

docs_check installs only setuptools==80.10.2 before doing an editable install of /fides. But generate_docs() now explicitly installs wheel and versioneer-518 first (likely because the build needs them). Since docs_check runs the install inside the docs container, it can still fail there if wheel/versioneer-518 aren’t already present in the image. Consider matching the host install by installing all three (setuptools, wheel, versioneer-518) in the container command before pip install --no-build-isolation -e /fides.

Also appears as an inconsistency with generate_docs() at noxfiles/docs_nox.py:11-13.
