Don’t know about your toml file, but for a py310 numpy version you might try my lingering PR
https://github.com/fink/fink-distributions/pull/883, just rebased and updated to the last 1.26 release.
This built with setuptools-tng 68.0 on Python 3.10 and higher versions, but I have to note that for
Python 3.8-3.9 68.0 would not build on Tahoe, so I could only hack a setuptools 59.6 installation to test with 3.9.
