BUG: CI docstring-validation fails with AttributeError in numpydoc validate.py

[EvMossan]

Pandas version checks

• I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.

• I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.

• I have confirmed this bug exists on the main branch of pandas.

Reproducible Example

The failure is visible in GitHub Actions.

Steps

1. Push any branch that is up-to-date with pandas-dev/main, or open a fresh PR.
2. Observe workflow Code Checks / Docstring validation, typing, and other manual pre-commit hooks.
3. The job stops in step Run docstring validation with the traceback below.

Example failing runs (public logs)

• https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/actions/runs/15921431436 ← PR CI: add PyPI Trusted-Publishing “publish” job to wheels workflow (#61669) #61718
• https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/actions/runs/15886481522 ← another PR on latest main

File ".../site-packages/numpydoc/validate.py", line 234, in name
    return ".".join([self.obj.__module__, self.obj.__name__])
AttributeError: 'getset_descriptor' object has no attribute '__module__'. Did you mean: '__reduce__'?

Issue Description

• The docstring-validation job crashes before any pandas code is executed, so all current PRs fail.
• The stack trace originates inside numpydoc/validate.py; no pandas files are involved.

Expected Behavior

The docstring-validation step should complete without errors, allowing the entire CI workflow to finish green.

Installed Versions

• python : 3.11.13 (conda-forge)
• pandas : source checkout of current main (not installed / build failed locally)
• numpydoc: 1.8.0
• os : Ubuntu-22.04 (GitHub Actions runner)

If maintainers confirm this as a valid issue that needs fixing, I'm happy to submit a PR with the fix.

Superseded by PR #61725, which pins numpydoc==1.8.0 and fixes the CI failure.
Closing in favour of that solution.
