-Suggested workarounds if applicable:
- - preinstalling build dependencies like setuptools_scm before running setup.py
- - installing setuptools_scm using the system package manager to ensure consistency
+Suggested workaround if applicable:
  - migrating from the deprecated setup_requires mechanism to pep517/518
