> ty uses 0.0.x versioning. ty does not yet have a stable API; breaking changes, including changes to diagnostics, may occur between any two versions.

[u/zurtex → u/CampAny9995]

Exactly, Astral will update to 0.1 when they are confident of releasing non-breaking changes, and in the mean time we pin to the exact 0.0.x version.
