Technical summary

matplotlib rcParams axes.prop_cycle validation can reject numeric marker constants such as CARETRIGHT after string conversion.

Validate marker values without coercing numeric marker constants into invalid strings, preserving valid MarkerStyle inputs.

The relevant code path includes __init__.py, rcParams, axes.prop_cycle, validate, cycler, and str conversion, so the patch belongs in rcParam validation.

The snippet uses native project logic; the marker value from the property cycler is normalized before Matplotlib builds the line style. The helper result is consumed directly by the patched code path.

After applying the patch, keep the import smoke test for the affected package:

python3 -c "import matplotlib; print('smoke test OK')"
