- Make sure you've read the documentation. Your issue may be addressed there.

Describe the bug
The iqm-client pip install in test_in_devenv.yml has been silently failing as the image enforces PEP 668. As a result, iqm-client is never installed, and ctest auto-skips iqm-tests and iqm-dqa-tests on every CI run.
From a recent upstream merge queue run:
python3 -m pip install iqm-client==28.0.0
error: externally-managed-environment
× This environment is externally managed
When the install is fixed (via --break-system-packages), 3 of the 8 IQM tests fail:
- iqm_IQMTester.invalidTokenFromEnvVariable
- iqm_IQMTester.iqmServerUrlEnvOverride
- iqm_IQMTester.tokenFilePathEnvOverride
Steps to reproduce the bug
Run CI on main and look at logs.
Expected behavior

Seems to be last version before Ubuntu image migration
