Description

Bug description

On a fresh install of superset, since marshmallow 4.0.0 released https://pypi.org/project/marshmallow/, superset fails to init due to an error validating parameters

It is possible to work around this by manually installing marshmallow at 3.26.1

pip3 install marshmallow==3.26.1

It looks like the version is being set in requirements/development.txt, so I'm unsure as to where the version update is occurring

Research direction
Investigate marshmallow 4.0 breaking changes, particularly the removal of the 'min' argument in fields.Integer (see https://github.com/marshmallow/marshmallow/issues/...). In Superset, the error occurs in charts/schemas.py at line 621 in ChartDataProphetOptionsSchema where 'min' is passed to Integer field. Review all uses of marshmallow fields in Superset schemas for similar incompatibilities. The fix likely involves upgrading marshmallow usage to match v4 API (e.g., using validate.Range instead of 'min'/'max') and updating dependency constraints in requirements/development.txt and setup.py. Check existing comments for any proposed solutions or PRs.
