Walkthrough

Removed Python 3.8 support from CI and project metadata, added rms-filecache (and rms-julian in pyproject) as dependencies, updated README to document FCPath-supported input paths and broadened allowed value types, and replaced pathlib-based file handling with filecache.FCPath in textkernel.from_file.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
CI & Project Metadata /.github/workflows/run-tests.yml, pyproject.toml, requirements.txt	Removed Python 3.8 from the test matrix and project classifiers; raised minimum Python requirement to >=3.9 in pyproject.toml. Added rms-filecache (and rms-julian in pyproject.toml) as new runtime dependencies; added rms-filecache to requirements.txt.
Documentation README.md	Added notes that from_file accepts any URL supported by FCPath and clarified tkdict value types to include Python ints, floats, strings, datetime objects, or lists containing these types; these notes were added after the simple usage example and within the main values description.
Core Implementation textkernel/__init__.py	Replaced pathlib usage with filecache.FCPath in from_file (import adjusted); reading now uses filecache.FCPath(path).read_text(...). Docstring updated to list FCPath-compatible inputs; public signature unchanged.

Estimated code review effort

🎯 3 (Moderate) | ⏱️ ~20 minutes

• Inspect textkernel/__init__.py to ensure FCPath usage preserves behavior for local paths and supports remote URLs (encoding, errors).
• Verify dependency additions (rms-filecache, rms-julian) in pyproject.toml are intentional and check for version constraints or compatibility.
• Confirm CI matrix and classifiers consistently reflect the raised minimum Python version and that tests run under the new matrix.

Pre-merge checks

✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

Check name	Status	Explanation
Title check	✅ Passed	The title 'Add FCPath support' clearly summarizes the main change: adding FCPath (from filecache) support to enable reading remote kernel files.
Description check	✅ Passed	The description follows the required template with Fixed Issues, Summary of Changes, and Known Problems sections all completed appropriately.
Linked Issues check	✅ Passed	The PR successfully implements support for filecache (FCPath) as required by issue #9, enabling text kernels to be read via filecache for cloud operations.
Out of Scope Changes check	✅ Passed	All changes are within scope: FCPath integration in code, documentation updates, Python 3.8 removal, and new dependency additions directly support the filecache support objective.
Docstring Coverage	✅ Passed	Docstring coverage is 100.00% which is sufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%.

Please make the change "latin8" to "latin1". Then you can squash and merge.

[markshowalter]

This is an older bug. Should be "latin1", not "latin8". Please fix.

310-311: LGTM! Clear documentation of FCPath support.

The docstring accurately documents that FCPath is now a supported path type alongside strings and Path objects.
