Allow redis client 8 releases

[abrookins]

Supersedes #838. Updates the direct requirement and the corresponding uv.lock metadata.

---

Note

Low Risk
Dependency constraint-only change with no runtime code modifications; main risk is potential incompatibility with redis-py 8.x APIs that consumers may hit outside this repo’s pinned tests.

Overview
Widens the redis dependency ceiling from <8.0.0 to <9.0.0 in pyproject.toml, so installs can resolve redis-py 8.x while still excluding 9.0+.

The matching uv.lock project metadata is updated to the same specifier; no library or test code changes.

Redis 8 still blocked by redisvl

Medium Severity

Widening the direct redis upper bound to <9.0.0 does not allow redis-py 8. The required dependency redisvl (>=0.16.0, including current releases) still requires redis<8.0, so resolvers keep selecting redis 7.x—and pinning redis>=8 fails. The declared change overstates redis client 8 support.
