Note

Medium Risk
Medium risk because it adjusts request/serialization behavior (model_dump no longer forwards by_alias=None) and expands public API parameters for browser input automation; regressions could affect request payloads or client integrations.

Overview
Bumps the SDK to 0.44.0 (manifest, pyproject.toml, src/kernel/_version.py, changelog) and updates the tracked OpenAPI spec reference.

Adds new drag_mouse options (smooth and duration_ms) to the browsers computer API (sync + async) and corresponding TypedDict param types/tests.

Updates GPU-related API docs/typing to reflect GPU acceleration constraints (requires headless=false) and refreshes viewport guidance with GPU defaults/presets; also clarifies scroll delta_x/delta_y units.

Tweaks pydantic compatibility: model_dump now only passes by_alias when explicitly set, and raises the minimum typing-extensions version.
