PYDANTIC TACKLES CORE SCHEMA PERFORMANCE WHILE FASTAPI DOCS GET A UI FIX

Pydantic shipped optimizations that cut type lookup overhead in core schema generation, while both FastAPI and SQLModel standardized their documentation controls across 13 commits and 17 PRs overnight.

Pydantic's type dispatch layer just got faster. A new optimization [1] "takes the proper steps at decomposing the arbitrary annotation passed to generate_schema()" to avoid repeated calls to get_origin() and type comparison operations that were burning CPU cycles on every schema build. This is lean performance work that doesn't ship new APIs, just makes the existing ones snap. Meanwhile, Viicos landed three other wins: EllipsisType support [2] for better annotation handling, validator reuse when plugins are set [4] so you don't pay double, and a fix for ValidateAs serialization [5]. On the FastAPI side, tiangolo converted Termynal terminal controls from links to semantic buttons [3], which kills the external-link icon spam in docs and gives you proper hover feedback. The same fix landed in SQLModel [7]. Both codebases also cycled through GitHub Actions updates, bumping setup-python to 7.0.0 and uv tooling [6] [8], plus aiohttp patched from 3.14.1 to 3.14.3 in Pydantic's deps [9].
