Research direction

Find Persistent’s package metadata and dependency bounds for aeson, then inspect how supported versions are declared. Check compatibility with the project’s supported package matrix, update the lower bound to avoid versions before 2.3.0.0, and run the existing test suite to confirm the dependency change works.
