This PR introduces necessary updates to resolve an issue encountered during the build process. After reviewing the changes and understanding the reasoning, I approve it with the following observations:

Celery upgrade: The version bump from 5.2.7 to 5.4.0 was necessary to resolve an import error (cannot import name 'Celery' from 'celery'), similar to the issue discussed in python/importlib_metadata#411. Updating to the latest version unblocked the build process. While this fix is important, thorough testing is still recommended to ensure compatibility with the task processing workflows.

Kombu upgrade: With Kombu being closely tied to Celery for message passing, the version upgrade from 5.2.4 to 5.4.2 ensures better compatibility with the updated Celery version. It's crucial to review the Kombu changelog and verify no breaking changes affect task queueing behavior.

Timezone data update: The update of tzdata to version 2024.2 ensures that the project is using the latest timezone information, which is particularly important for applications dealing with scheduling and international time zones.

The updates address a critical issue and bring the dependencies up to date. I recommend testing the changes thoroughly in a staging environment to confirm the system's stability and functionality before deploying to production.

Great job!

Did you confirm that the updated dependencies are compatible with Python 3.10, which is used to build the application? Compatibility checks are crucial to ensure stability and functionality?

This workflow that runs against pull requests and merges to main is set up with Python 3.10.

This successful actions build against the PR implies compatibility
