The kokoro install.sh ends with `python -m spacy download en_core_web_sm`.
spaCy's CLI imports typer -> click, so click must be present at that point.
On the intel build profile, install.sh adds `--upgrade --index-strategy=unsafe-first-match`
against the Intel pip index. With that resolution strategy, click is not
resolved/installed, so the spacy CLI import fails with:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'click'
make: *** [Makefile:3: kokoro] Error 1
Other profiles (cpu/cublas) pull click in transitively and build fine; only
the intel profile breaks. This surfaced in the v4.5.5 release CI as the
gpu-intel-kokoro backend image build failure.
Make click an explicit dependency in the base requirements.txt (installed for
every profile) so it is always present before `python -m spacy download` runs,
regardless of index resolution. Unpinned: spacy constrains the version.
