6. MacOS Alternative (Python 3.13) using UV:

- In your virtual environment, ensure you are in your working directory (e.g., pipeline).

- Add psycopg binary using uv:

```bash
$ uv add "psycopg[binary]"
```

This MacOS-specific step provides the missing psycopg[binary] installation path when using Python 3.13 with uv. If issues persist after this, consider the standard Linux/macOS library checks and psycopg rebuild steps from sections 1-5 above.
