The stixtests module cannot validate ATT&CK STIX bundles when this repository uses its currently pinned dependency, stix2-validator==3.3.1. For example:
$ uv run python update-attack.py -m clean -e stixtests

This appears to be caused by the upstream 3.3.1 wheel omitting the STIX schema JSON files. It matches oasis-open/cti-stix-validator#248.
Until an upstream fixed release is available, we should pin stix2-validator==3.2.0 so our stixtests extra/module can continue to perform STIX validation.
