Research direction

Start by running tox and inspecting setup.py, the packaging job configuration, and the check-manifest output. Confirm why CHANGELOG.md, RELEASING.md, changelog.d, and pyproject.toml are absent from the source distribution, then verify that the packaging job passes with all required files included.
