Pydantic's internal type-reference engine is getting a major refactor that could break downstream users.

Pydantic's top story is a refactor of the type reference logic that promises to eliminate useless checks by specializing per type [1]. The change touches the widely-used internal `_decorators.py` module, preserving backwards compatibility only on `Decorator.build()`, which means downstream packages relying on internal APIs should test against the new branch [1]. Meanwhile, a parallel PR fixes third-party tests [2] that may have been exposed by the refactor. A separate fix addresses JSON Schema serialization, ensuring computed fields with `exclude_if` are no longer listed as required when they may be omitted [3]. On the FastAPI side, the only notable item is a revert of a workflow change: `commit_in_place` is being restored in `translate.yml` [4], likely to keep translation syncs working when more than 10 files change. The release notes bot also picked up a routine update [5], and a README link fix for V1.10 docs landed in pydantic [6]. Overall, pydantic is moving fast on internal correctness, while FastAPI is mostly housekeeping.
