When asking AI whether it is safe to remove the git_archive, it recommends "setuptools_scm[toml]>=7.0.0"

Longer version of comment:

It was originally created as a plugin to allow setuptools_scm to read version numbers from .git_archival.txt files when building from a downloaded GitHub .tar.gz or .zip source archive (where the .git directory is missing).  However, starting with setuptools_scm version 7.0.0, this functionality was built directly into the core package.  If you remove it, you should ideally pin your setuptools_scm requirement to version 7.0.0 or higher to ensure the native git archive fallback still works.
