v2.52.0

### 🛡️ Security

This release fixes one security issue in `web_fetch`. See the advisory for full details and affected versions.

- **[GHSA-v36g-jcw9-x7cw](https://github.com/pydantic/pydantic-ai/security/advisories/GHSA-v36g-jcw9-x7cw)** (moderate): converting attacker-controlled HTML with deeply nested elements in the local `web_fetch` tool could consume excessive CPU and memory. Provider-native web fetching is not affected. Reported by @SounLabs. (#8984)

Patched in `2.52.0` (v2) and `1.107.7` (v1).

### 📦 Harness and CLAI 2

`pydantic-ai-harness` now lives in this repository and ships with every Pydantic AI release, so it jumps from `0.36.0` to `0.52.0`. `pydantic-clai2` `0.52.0` is its first release: `uvx pydantic-clai2`.
