fixed numpy issue

[niveditasing]

A recent update in NumPy (version 2.0+) broke how it handles 2D math operations. This broke an external library we use called rdp (which simplifies geographical boundaries), causing our automated tests to crash with a ValueError.

FIX
Pinned NumPy to <=2.0.0 in requirements.txt to maintain compatibility with the rdp library.

Code Review

This pull request adds a monkey-patch for np.cross in simplify.py to maintain compatibility with NumPy 2.x. However, the monkey-patch contains a correctness bug where using len() on a 2D NumPy array returns the size of the first dimension rather than the vector dimension, causing it to fall back to the original function and raise a ValueError. A more robust implementation checking the array shape is recommended.

Code Review

This pull request introduces a monkey-patch for np.cross in simplify.py to maintain compatibility with NumPy 2.x, which removed support for 2D vectors. The reviewer suggested refining the monkey-patch to only apply the custom 2D cross-product logic when no extra positional or keyword arguments are provided, preventing potential silent bugs in other parts of the codebase that might call np.cross with custom axis arguments.

Code Review

This pull request introduces a monkey-patch for np.cross in simplify.py to support 2D vectors under NumPy 2.x. The reviewer noted that applying the monkey-patch after importing rdp could fail if rdp imports cross directly from numpy during its own initialization. To resolve this, the reviewer suggested moving the monkey-patching logic to run immediately after importing numpy and before importing other third-party libraries.
