Numpy's setup.py first checks the git tags in the repository and searches for a tagged version to use. If no tags exist, it uses the current commit, which is untagged, hence the error. In order to pull the tags from main, you have to run

git pull upstream main --tags

Numpy 1.24.3 didn't have the --tags flag in its documentation yet, but will in the next release.
