Runner - Expanded MCP support

WorkerTuner.create_compositehas a new required field:nexus_supplier - Only enable native roots if CA override not specified - see temporalio/sdk-core#1007 in sdk-core

1.16.0
Task Queue Fairness (Pre-release)
This release adds support for Task Queue Fairness. Fairness is a new feature of Temporal's task queues that allows for more control over the order that tasks are dispatched from a backlog. It's intended to address common situations like multi-tenant applications and reserved capacity bands.
Nexus cancellation types (Pre-release)
A cancellation type can now be set when starting a nexus operation. This determines the behavior of the Nexus operation when the caller workflow initiates cancellation. See the NexusOperationCancellationType enum.
💥 Changes to execute_child_workflow API
In order to align execute_child_workflow with start_child_workflow and make ChildWorkflowConfig usable for both, the summary argument has been replaced with static_summary. See (#1019)
💥 Plugin Changes (Experimental Feature)
The plugin interface has been changed. Implementors now have to implement each method so as to consider whether they need to make any customizations in those areas. In addition, the plugin has new methods which allow customization of a Replayer. See (#1011)

2025-08-21 - eb9097d - Bump version
1.15.0
- Plugin support - Plugins are a new way of providing easy configuration of workers and clients
 - Ongoing development of OpenAI Agents Integration
 
💥 Breaking Changes
- OpenAI Agents integration is now intended to be used through 
OpenAIAgentsPlugin, the previous method of configuring withset_open_ai_agent_temporal_overridesis no longer exported. - OpenAI Agents integration tracing now uses a separate random generator for uuids. If a workflow was using both 
workflow.randomand OpenAI agents tracing, this could cause an NDE on replay.
