patch

The Genkit Python SDK v0.9.0 introduces Agents for stateful, multi-turn AI workflows, alongside a reorganization of its plugins into dedicated PyPI packages. This update improves session persistence, human-in-the-loop capabilities, and observability for developers building AI applications. The changes are available now, with legacy plugins continuing to function but issuing warnings to encourage migration.
