09/30/2025, 5:22 AMSays I need to upgrade to 0.209.0 but both pip show and generators show 0.209.0 already. Same with my vscode extension. What else do I need to tweak?

Initially, I had "from app.baml_client import b" and called with "result = b.ExtractPHI()".
I changed to "import app.baml_client as client" and called with "client.b.ExtractPHI()". This worked but...
However, later, I got the same ImportError again. I tried to revert back to the original combo but it didn't work. It's broken again 😥
