fix: bump websockets minimum version to >=14

[m1lestones]

Summary

Closes #867

The websocket_base.py module migrated to websockets.asyncio.client and ClientConnection (the new asyncio-native API introduced in websockets 14.0) to eliminate deprecation warnings from the legacy interface. However, the pyproject.toml dependency lower bound was never updated to reflect this requirement.

With websockets = ">=11", users can install websockets 11–13 which lack websockets.asyncio, causing an ImportError at runtime.

Changes

• Bumped websockets minimum version from >=11 to >=14 in pyproject.toml

Why >=14?

The websockets.asyncio subpackage (including ClientConnection) was introduced in websockets 14.0. The websockets changelog confirms this is the version that added the new asyncio-native API that websocket_base.py already uses.

Test plan

• Verify import websockets.asyncio.client works with websockets >=14
• Run existing WebSocket client tests: python -m pytest tests/unit/

🐰 A hop, a skip, through version gates,
Websockets leap to fourteen's fate,
Old deprecations fade to gray,
As modernized connections play! ✨

Check name	Status	Explanation
Title check	✅ Passed	The title accurately describes the main change: bumping the websockets minimum version to >=14 to support the new asyncio-native API.
Description check	✅ Passed	The description provides context, explains why >=14 is required, and lists test plans, but does not follow the repository's required template structure with sections like Type of Change or CHANGELOG updates.
Linked Issues check	✅ Passed	The PR successfully addresses issue #867 by updating the websockets version constraint to >=14, which is required for the migration to websockets.asyncio that eliminates deprecation warnings.
Out of Scope Changes check	✅ Passed	The change is narrowly scoped to updating a single dependency version constraint, which is directly related to resolving the issue #867 deprecation warnings.
Docstring Coverage	✅ Passed	No functions found in the changed files to evaluate docstring coverage. Skipping docstring coverage check.
