• Ensure that the removal of the [tool.setuptools] block is deliberate, and that all necessary packaging metadata is properly configured in its absence.

• [nitpick] The use of 'cell.cell' is ambiguous; consider renaming the property to a more descriptive name (e.g. 'data' or 'value') for improved clarity.

print(hex(offset), "+" if allocated else "-", cell.name, cell.cell)

tests/conftest.py:24

• Please verify that changing the file path from "data/SYSTEM.gz" to "_data/SYSTEM.gz" is intentional, as it may affect file lookup.

yield from open_file_gz("_data/SYSTEM.gz")
