#8812 fixed most of the coron unit tests with numpy 2, but there's still one check that's barely out of spec on the Linux tests.

I think changing these lines to atol=1e-4, rtol=1e-5 should work:

jwst/jwst/coron/tests/test_coron.py

Lines 144 to 145 in 217d660

	npt.assert_allclose(aligned, truth_aligned, atol=1e-5)
	npt.assert_allclose(shifts, truth_shifts, atol=1e-5)

Suggested change

- Remove upper pin on ``numpy`` [#8718]

now that #8671 is merged (switching change log handling to towncrier) this change log entry should be a file in changes/ instead:

echo "Remove upper pin on ``numpy``" > changes/8718.general.rst

(new PRs will include instructions on how to do this)
