coverage: 74.989%. remained the same — update-changelog-0.23.0 into master

antonwolfy

I checked each entry against its PR and the code at this PR's head.

Confirmed:

All 28 referenced PRs are merged to master, none were reverted, and none duplicate the 0.22.0/0.22.1 sections.
All links match their PR numbers, and every section is in PR-number order.

Most of the inline comments come with a suggested fix:

Inaccurate or incomplete entries: gh-2206, gh-2290, gh-2291, gh-2322, gh-2324, gh-2382, plus the gh-2273 C-API functions.
Missing content: the release summary paragraph and the Maintenance/CI items.
A question about the NumPy runtime minimum (gh-2192).

Thanks for the updates. Everything from the earlier round is addressed. A few wording nits are inline.

+* `dpctl.SyclDevice.sub_group_independent_forward_progress` property and `DPCTLDevice_GetSubGroupIndependentForwardProgress` C-API function were removed [gh-2353](https://github.com/IntelPython/dpctl/pull/2353)
+* The signature of `DPCTLKernelBundle_CreateFromSpirv` C-API function changed [gh-2304](https://github.com/IntelPython/dpctl/pull/2304)
+* The values of `DPCTLPartitionAffinityDomainType` enumerators shifted, as `DPCTL_PARTITION_AFFINITY_DOMAIN_UNKNOWN` was added as the zero value [gh-2324](https://github.com/IntelPython/dpctl/pull/2324)
+* `SyclProgram` names in the `dpctl` Python C-API and `dpctl4pybind11.hpp` (e.g. `PySyclKernelBundleObject`, `SyclKernelBundle_Make`) were renamed to `SyclKernelBundle` ones without keeping aliases, while the Python names remain available as deprecated aliases [gh-2291](https://github.com/IntelPython/dpctl/pull/2291)


The examples come right after "SyclProgram names", but they're the new names, so they read as if PySyclKernelBundleObject were an old name. Suggest showing old → new:

-* Registered `DPCTL_PARTITION_AFFINITY_DOMAIN_UNKNOWN` enumerator when `DPCTLDevice_GetPartitionAffinityDomains` receives an unrecognized value from the SYCL runtime [gh-2324](https://github.com/IntelPython/dpctl/pull/2324)
+* `dpctl.SyclPlatform.get_devices` no longer relies on a work-around for `custom` and `automatic` device types, as it is not needed with the supported compiler versions [gh-2303](https://github.com/IntelPython/dpctl/pull/2303)
+* `DPCTLKernelBundle_CreateFromSpirv` C-API function now also takes an array of `DPCTLSpecConst` specialization constants [gh-2304](https://github.com/IntelPython/dpctl/pull/2304)
+* Device and platform collection APIs, such as `dpctl.get_devices` and `dpctl.SyclPlatform.get_devices`, as well as `dpctl.SyclDevice.sub_group_sizes`, now return a `tuple` instead of a `list`; this is a backward-incompatible change [gh-2322](https://github.com/IntelPython/dpctl/pull/2322)


Nit (optional): the breaking-changes list at the top now covers this, so the "backward-incompatible" clause I suggested earlier is redundant here:

+* Deprecated `dpctl.program.SyclProgram` and `dpctl.program.SyclProgramCompilationError` aliases in favor of `dpctl.compiler.SyclKernelBundle` and `dpctl.compiler.SyclKernelBundleCompilationError` [gh-2291](https://github.com/IntelPython/dpctl/pull/2291)
+* Deprecated `dpctl.program.create_program_from_source` and `dpctl.program.create_program_from_spirv`, which are kept as aliases emitting a `DeprecationWarning` in favor of `dpctl.compiler.create_kernel_bundle_from_source` and `dpctl.compiler.create_kernel_bundle_from_spirv` [gh-2291](https://github.com/IntelPython/dpctl/pull/2291)


Two small things:

On L49, "in favor of …" ends up attached to "emitting a DeprecationWarning". Putting "in favor of" right after the deprecated names reads more clearly.

Both entries name the dpctl.compiler replacements, which come from Move and deprecate dpctl program #2317 (Rename SyclProgram to SyclKernelBundle #2291 put them in dpctl.program), so they could cite both PRs.

Suggested change

* Deprecated `dpctl.program.SyclProgram` and `dpctl.program.SyclProgramCompilationError` aliases in favor of `dpctl.compiler.SyclKernelBundle` and `dpctl.compiler.SyclKernelBundleCompilationError` [gh-2291](https://github.com/IntelPython/dpctl/pull/2291)

* Deprecated `dpctl.program.create_program_from_source` and `dpctl.program.create_program_from_spirv`, which are kept as aliases emitting a `DeprecationWarning` in favor of `dpctl.compiler.create_kernel_bundle_from_source` and `dpctl.compiler.create_kernel_bundle_from_spirv` [gh-2291](https://github.com/IntelPython/dpctl/pull/2291)

* Deprecated `dpctl.program.SyclProgram` and `dpctl.program.SyclProgramCompilationError` aliases in favor of `dpctl.compiler.SyclKernelBundle` and `dpctl.compiler.SyclKernelBundleCompilationError` [gh-2291](https://github.com/IntelPython/dpctl/pull/2291), [gh-2317](https://github.com/IntelPython/dpctl/pull/2317)

* Deprecated `dpctl.program.create_program_from_source` and `dpctl.program.create_program_from_spirv` in favor of `dpctl.compiler.create_kernel_bundle_from_source` and `dpctl.compiler.create_kernel_bundle_from_spirv`; the old functions are kept as aliases that emit a `DeprecationWarning` [gh-2291](https://github.com/IntelPython/dpctl/pull/2291), [gh-2317](https://github.com/IntelPython/dpctl/pull/2317)
