chore(deps): update chardet requirement from <6,>=5.2 to >=5.2,<8

[dependabot]

Updates the requirements on chardet to permit the latest version.

Release notes

Sourced from chardet's releases.

7.4.3

Patch release: fixes a crash when input contains null bytes inside a <meta charset> declaration.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed ValueError: embedded null character crash when input contained a <meta charset> declaration with a null byte in the encoding name (e.g. b'<meta charset="\x00utf-8">'). codecs.lookup() raises ValueError on embedded nulls, and lookup_encoding() was only catching LookupError. Also added defensive ValueError catches in _validate_bytes() and _to_utf8() for completeness. (#369, thanks @​DRMacIver for the report)

7.4.3 (2026-04-13)

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed ValueError: embedded null character crash when input contained a <meta charset> declaration with a null byte in the encoding name (e.g. b'<meta charset="\x00utf-8">'). codecs.lookup() raises ValueError on embedded nulls, and lookup_encoding() was only catching LookupError. Also added defensive ValueError catches in _validate_bytes() and _to_utf8() for completeness.

7.4.2 (2026-04-12)

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed RuntimeError: pipeline must always return at least one result on ~2% of all possible two-byte inputs (e.g. b"\xf9\x92"). Multi-byte encodings like CP932 and Johab could score above the structural confidence threshold on very short inputs, but then statistical scoring would return nothing, leaving the pipeline with an empty result list instead of falling through to the no_match_encoding fallback. (Jason Barnett <https://github.com/jasonwbarnett>_ via Claude, [#367](https://github.com/chardet/chardet/issues/367) <https://github.com/chardet/chardet/issues/367>, [#368](https://github.com/chardet/chardet/issues/368) <https://github.com/chardet/chardet/pull/368>)

Improvements:

• Added ~90 encoding aliases from the WHATWG Encoding Standard and IANA Character Sets registry so that <meta charset> labels like x-cp1252, x-sjis, dos-874, csUTF8, and the cswindows* family all resolve correctly through the markup detection stage. Every alias was driven by a failing spec-compliance test. (Dan Blanchard <https://github.com/dan-blanchard>_ via Claude, [#366](https://github.com/chardet/chardet/issues/366) <https://github.com/chardet/chardet/pull/366>_)
• Added a spec-compliance test suite covering Python decode round-trips for all 86 registry encodings, WHATWG web-platform label resolution, IANA preferred MIME names, and Unicode/RFC conformance (BOM sniffing, UTF-8 boundary cases, UTF-16 surrogate pairs). This is the test suite that would have caught the 7.4.1 BOM bug before release.
