Removed dependencies:
- deepdiff: declared but never imported or used in the codebase
- mlflow: optional, only used conditionally when sagemaker_mlflow is installed
- sagemaker_schema_inference_artifacts: optional, used in try/except fallback
- pytest: test-only dependency, not needed at runtime
- tqdm, psutil: handled via RUN_DEPENDS in Makefile
- tritonclient[http]: optional, used in try/except for Triton validation
- onnx, onnxruntime, torch: not available on FreeBSD; torch has a module-level
  import in app.py but that module is only used for specific serving scenarios
