This patch release fixes a fresh install bug where the packaging library was previously installed as a transitive dependency but is no longer—causing an import error on fresh installs without dev dependencies. Also includes a pydocket version pin to avoid Redis connection noise in tests, plus backports from 3.x for $ref dereferencing in tool schemas and the task capabilities location fix.
