llm-anthropic 0.22. New release of my llm-anthropic plugin:

• Support for Claude's new structured outputs feature for Sonnet 4.5 and Opus 4.1. #54
• Support for the web search tool using -o web_search 1 - thanks Nick Powell and Ian Langworth. #30

The plugin previously powered LLM schemas using this tool-call based workaround. That code is still used for Anthropic's older models.

I also figured out uv recipes for running the plugin's test suite in an isolated environment, which are now baked into the new Justfile.
