Last release can't be loaded in ComicTagger v1.6.0b11.dev0, missing pyrate_limiter

I was wondering why the metron_talker plugin (release 0.2.3) wouldn't load on my mac, and I guess it's due to this error on startup:

2025-12-11T16:21:00 | comictaggerlib.ctsettings.plugin_finder | ERROR   | ComicTagger failed to load local plugin "metron_talker-plugin-0.2.3.zip" due to No module named 'pyrate_limiter'.

    from pyrate_limiter import Duration, Limiter, RequestRate, SQLiteBucket
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pyrate_limiter'

Is this something that the metron_talker plugin needs to ship, or did CT 1.5.x ship the pyrate_limiter module?

Update: The import path changed to comictalker.vendor.pyrate_limiter, it looks like. But even then, that library version doesn't support the SQLiteBucket. If I go back to the older version of the plugin and patch in the vendor import path, CT doesn't even start: exits with a 1 status immediately on startup, before showing any GUI. I guess this version of the plugin is incompatible with the ComicTagger beta?

I have the latest beta version, but this plugin doesn't load in it either.

I know about this, are you going to return this plugin to CT?
