Subject: [PATCH 1/3] fix: adjust lazy_choices test for Python 3.14+ argparse
 changes

Python 3.14 calls the getter during argparse initialisation, breaking
the lazy evaluation test. Added version check to account for this.

Subject: [PATCH 3/3] fix: make LazyChoices.help truly lazy to fix
 cross-version compatibility

The help property was calling the getter on access, which argparse
triggers during parser initialization. Made help return only cached
value; help_formatter is now only called when using --help.
