Support for free-threaded Python?

I'm curious if this is on the radar of any of the spacy developers.

On my Mac development environment with Python 3.13.4t, pip install spacy fails because the marisa_trie project pins an old cython version which doesn't support the free-threaded build. That issue is fixed by pytries/marisa-trie#122, so if I install from the main branch of marisa-trie, I'm able to build spacy successfully.

It imports, but I'm not sure if anything is broken. It doesn't look like there are any tests that make use of the threading module.

There is some initial discussion about free-threading support for spacy and other Explosion libraries at explosion/cymem#47.
