PYDANTIC TIGHTENS NAMED TUPLE VALIDATION, FASTAPI PULLS 12 DEPENDENCY UPDATES

Pydantic ships a dedicated named-tuple core schema that fixes four critical validation edge cases, while FastAPI and SQLModel ride a wave of upstream bumps across the toolchain.

Pydantic merged a new named-tuple core schema [1] that replaces the incorrect 'call' validation pattern, fixing multiple reported issues where named tuples were validated using function-call semantics [1]. The same PR also raises explicit TypeErrors on invalid index_key serialization handlers [2], preventing silent failures that users may have cargo-culted from outdated docstring examples. On the dependency front, FastAPI pulled 12 package updates including httpx2 from 2.5.0 to 2.9.1, mypy from 2.1.0 to 2.3.0, and strawberry-graphql up three minor versions [3]. SQLModel followed suit with 7 updates of its own, bumping FastAPI itself to 0.140.0, Typer to 0.27.0, and ruff across both repos [4]. These are routine maintenance cycles, but the Pydantic schema work addresses real production pain points that have accumulated in the issue tracker.
