Bump wheel from 0.45.1 to 0.48.0 in /.github/requirements

[dependabot]

Bumps wheel from 0.45.1 to 0.48.0.

Release notes

Sourced from wheel's releases.

0.48.0

• Added a --local-version option to wheel pack to add, replace, or remove a PEP 440 local version identifier from a wheel (#570)
• Fixed wheel convert unnecessarily upgrading compatible core metadata versions (#643)
• Fixed wheel tags producing invalid archives when retagging wheels whose entries use ZIP64, by dropping the central-directory ZIP64 extra field that is not valid in a local file header (#692)
• Fixed wheel convert writing the converted wheel outside the destination directory when the input archive contained a maliciously crafted project name or version with path separators (arbitrary file write / path traversal) (GHSA-vgq5-9859-3mmw)

0.47.0

• Added the wheel info subcommand to display metadata about wheel files without unpacking them (#639)
• Fixed WheelFile raising Missing RECORD file when the wheel filename contains uppercase characters (e.g. Django-3.2.5.whl) but the .dist-info directory inside uses normalized lowercase naming (#411)

0.46.3

• Fixed ImportError: cannot import name '_setuptools_logging' from 'wheel' when installed alongside an old version of setuptools and running the bdist_wheel command (#676)

0.46.2

• Restored the bdist_wheel command for compatibility with setuptools older than v70.1
• Importing wheel.bdist_wheel now emits a FutureWarning instead of a DeprecationWarning
• Fixed wheel unpack potentially altering the permissions of files outside of the destination tree with maliciously crafted wheels (CVE-2026-24049)

0.46.1

• Temporarily restored the wheel.macosx_libfile module (#659)

0.46.0

• Dropped support for Python 3.8
• Removed the bdist_wheel setuptools command implementation and entry point. The wheel.bdist_wheel module is now just an alias to setuptools.command.bdist_wheel, emitting a deprecation warning on import.
• Removed vendored packaging in favor of a run-time dependency on it
• Made the wheel.metadata module private (with a deprecation warning if it's imported
• Made the wheel.cli package private (no deprecation warning)
• Fixed an exception when calling the convert command with an empty description field

Note

Low Risk
Dependency-only change to GitHub Actions release tooling; no product code paths change, though CI release steps will run against the newer wheel CLI/library behavior.

Overview
Updates the wheel pin in .github/requirements/release.in from 0.45.1 to 0.48.0 and refreshes the hashed lockfile .github/requirements/release.txt (new wheel hashes; packaging is now listed as a transitive dependency of wheel).

This only affects the Python packages installed for release/CI workflows that use that requirements file (e.g. build, check-wheel-contents, twine)—not application runtime code.

Lockfile drops required setuptools pin

High Severity

The compiled release.txt lockfile no longer pins setuptools, even though release.in still requires setuptools==80.9.0. The nightly job installs only hashed packages from this lockfile and then runs python -m build --no-isolation, so the setuptools build backend never gets installed and the release build fails on Python 3.12.
