neuroconv 0.6.1 requires tables<3.9.2, but pytables was pinned to 3.10.2 which is too new. pip then tries to build tables from source and fails because HDF5 is not available.
dandi 0.74.0 renamed the 'dandi-staging' instance to 'dandi-sandbox'. neuroconv 0.6.1's automatic_dandi_upload uses 'dandi-staging' internally, causing a KeyError when uploading to the sandbox with dandi >= 0.74.0.
Instead of pinning dandi < 0.74.0, register 'dandi-staging' as an alias for 'dandi-sandbox' in dandi's known_instances dict. This allows neuroconv 0.6.1 (which uses 'dandi-staging' internally) to work with both old and new dandi versions.

Per Ben's direction: focus on bumping neuroconv rather than finding workarounds for the current main branch's DANDI compat issues.
