This reverts commit cd5fbb0. This reverts the constraint added in cd5fbb0 which restricted h5py to versions <3.15 on Intel macOS based on the assumption that "no whls [were] built any longer". However, h5py 3.15.0 (released Oct 13, 2025) and 3.15.1 (released Oct 16, 2025) both include pre-built wheels for Intel macOS (x86_64) for all supported Python versions (3.10-3.14). The overly restrictive constraint caused CI test failures starting Jan 19, 2026 when the macos-15-intel GitHub Actions runner image was updated (version 20260120.0127.1). The same commit (ccdb659) passed on Jan 18 but failed on Jan 19, indicating an environmental incompatibility with the old h5py versions on the new runner.

opencv-python 4.13.0.90 was released on PyPI on January 18, 2026 and introduced a regression in cv2.VideoWriter functionality on Intel macOS. The VideoWriter.write() method fails silently - files are not created, causing all video_organize tests to fail with FileNotFoundError: - test_video_organize[*] (8 variations) - test_video_organize_common[copy-0] Evidence: - Jan 18, 2026 (passing): opencv-python 4.12.0.88 - Jan 19, 2026+ (failing): opencv-python 4.13.0.90 - Same commit (ccdb659), same runner image (macos-15/20260112.0116) - Only affects macos-15-intel platform - All 9 test failures are in video organization tests - Error: test video files created by cv2.VideoWriter fixture don't exist The constraint is platform-specific (Intel macOS only) to allow: - ARM macOS: use latest opencv-python - Linux/Windows: use latest opencv-python - Intel macOS: pin to 4.12.x until upstream fix Upstream tracking: https://github.com/opencv/opencv-python/releases Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
Fixes two separate CI regression issues affecting macOS-15-intel runners starting January 19, 2026:
h5py Issue
Reverts the constraint added in cd5fbb0 which restricted h5py to versions <3.15 on Intel macOS based on the assumption that "no whls [were] built any longer".
However, h5py 3.15.0 (released Oct 13, 2025) and 3.15.1 (released Oct 16, 2025) both include pre-built wheels for Intel macOS (x86_64) for all supported Python versions (3.10-3.14).
The overly restrictive constraint caused compatibility issues when the macos-15-intel GitHub Actions runner image was updated (version 20260120.0127.1). The same commit (ccdb659) passed on Jan 18 but failed on Jan 19, indicating an environmental incompatibility with old h5py versions on the new runner.
opencv-python Issue
opencv-python 4.13.0.90 was released on PyPI on January 18, 2026 and introduced a regression in
cv2.VideoWriterfunctionality on Intel macOS.The
VideoWriter.write()method fails silently - files are not created, causing all video_organize tests to fail with FileNotFoundError:test_video_organize[*](8 variations)test_video_organize_common[copy-0]Evidence from tinuous logs:

Test Results
Expected to fix all macos-15-intel CI failures that started appearing on January 19, 2026.
Fixes failing CI build #21127100740 and subsequent runs.
