Research direction

Start with taskuary/server.py and run grep -n "\.dict()" taskuary/server.py to review the ten request-body call sites. Replace the listed v1 calls and add or run tests/test_no_pydantic_v1.py, then verify with python -m pytest -q that no targeted .dict() calls remain and the suite passes.

Description

enhancement good first issue

We require pydantic>=2, but taskuary/server.py still calls the v1 method body.dict() in ten places. Each call logs PydanticDeprecatedSince20: The dict method is deprecated; use model_dump instead, and it stops working in pydantic v3.

Where: grep -n "\.dict()" taskuary/server.py - ten hits (task create/update, split, calendar prep, fixtures, three settings-style updates).

Done when each is .model_dump() and the suite passes.

Test - a small tests/test_no_pydantic_v1.py that scans taskuary/server.py for .dict() called on request bodies (body.dict(, .second.dict(, .first.dict() and fails if any remain.

Getting started: pip install -e ".[dev]", then python -m pytest -q (offline, a few seconds). UI work: cd website && npm ci && npm test. See CONTRIBUTING.md. One small PR with the change and its test is perfect.
