The August 1 release resolves a livelock triggered when anyio scope cancellation hits an in-flight activity await, stops Temporal activities from re-running prepare instead of using the workflow-prepared tool_def, and fails the workflow rather than retrying forever when an activity argument can't be serialized. Prefect tool-call cache keys no longer collide on RunContext fields a tool can read. args_validator can now request approval or defer a call. Durable execution is finally getting the boring correctness attention it needs.
