@copilot Numpy build failed because failing to apply patch. I'm asking you to completely remove patches for it and find alternatives. |

I've removed all patches and implemented a patch-free configuration approach. The new solution uses meson's built-in options directly via
This works with any numpy version that uses meson-python and is more maintainable than version-specific patches. All tests pass. Commit: 3170b8e |

@copilot You should refer to https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/blob/master/srcpkgs/python3-numpy/template and https://github.com/conda-forge/numpy-feedstock/blob/main/recipe/build.sh again to make sure that you have everything you need. Also remember to disable sanity checks for numpy builds. |

I've updated the numpy recipe based on both referenced build scripts: From conda-forge:
From void-linux:

All configuration follows production patterns from both sources. All tests pass. Commit: 9991bd8 |

@copilot You should create a mason cross file (if not exist) and disable sanity check for mason. |

Pull request overview
This PR implements numpy build support for Android and iOS mobile platforms using a patch-free configuration approach. Instead of maintaining version-specific patches, it leverages meson-python's native configuration options through cibuildwheel's config settings.
Key changes:
- Adds build dependencies (Cython, meson-python, build) and configures cross-compilation via dynamically generated meson cross files
- Removes the 181-line version-specific patch file (mobile-1.26.0.patch) in favor of declarative configuration
- Implements conditional mobile platform detection with architecture-specific meson cross file generation

The variable substitution approach is fragile. The sed command tries to replace '${CC:-cc}' with the value of ${CC:-cc}, but this won't work as expected. If CC is unset, ${CC:-cc} expands to 'cc', but the meson cross file will contain 'c = 'cc'' (with quotes), when it should contain just 'c = cc' (without inner quotes) or 'c = 'cc'' depending on meson's requirements. Consider testing whether the quotes in the heredoc template (lines 67-68) are correct for the final output.

The longdouble_format is hardcoded to 'IEEE_DOUBLE_LE' for all architectures, but this may not be correct for x86_64 platforms which typically use IEEE_QUAD_LE or INTEL_EXTENDED_LE for long double. This should be set based on the CPU_FAMILY to ensure correct floating-point behavior.

The sed -i command may not work on macOS/iOS build environments. macOS sed requires a backup extension argument with -i (e.g., sed -i '' or sed -i.bak). Consider using a portable approach that works across both Linux and macOS, such as creating a temporary file or using a different method for variable substitution.

The heredoc template uses single quotes ('CROSSEOF') to prevent variable expansion, but then the content has shell variable syntax like '${CC:-cc}' and '$CIBW_PLATFORM'. These won't be expanded during heredoc creation and will be written literally. The sed commands then try to replace these literal strings, but the regex pattern won't correctly match '${CC:-cc}' due to special regex characters. Consider using envsubst or a more robust variable substitution approach, or switch to a heredoc without quotes to allow direct shell expansion.

The cross file is created only when building for mobile platforms (android/ios), but the cibw_config_settings unconditionally references it with '--cross-file=/tmp/numpy_meson_cross.txt'. This will cause build failures on non-mobile platforms where the file doesn't exist. Consider making the cross-file reference conditional or creating a default cross file for all platforms.

The commented-out PKG_CONFIG setting creates ambiguity about whether it should be enabled. According to the comment on line 20-21, setting PKG_CONFIG="" is "critical for mobile cross-compilation to avoid linking against host libs", but it's currently disabled. This could lead to cross-compilation issues where host libraries are incorrectly detected. Either enable this setting or update the comment to explain why it's disabled.

The indentation in the heredoc is inconsistent with standard practice. Lines 66-78 have two spaces of indentation which will be written to the meson cross file. Meson INI-style files typically don't have leading whitespace in section content. This may cause meson to fail parsing the cross file. The heredoc content should start at column 0 or use a <<- operator with tabs for stripping.
