Note

Low Risk
Low risk release bump; the only behavioral change is switching several request param UnmarshalJSON implementations to apijson.UnmarshalRoot, which could affect edge-case JSON decoding but is scoped to a few param wrapper types.

Overview
Bumps the SDK version to 0.45.1 and updates release metadata/docs (CHANGELOG.md, README.md, .release-please-manifest.json, .stats.yml, internal/version.go).

Fixes an unmarshaling edge case by updating UnmarshalJSON for AuthConnection*Params, Credential*Params, and CredentialProvider*Params to delegate to apijson.UnmarshalRoot instead of encoding/json.Unmarshal into the nested request struct.

Untagged fields silently ignored during JSON unmarshaling

High Severity

The UnmarshalJSON methods were changed from json.Unmarshal(data, &r.InnerField) to apijson.UnmarshalRoot(data, r), but the inner fields (e.g. ManagedAuthCreateRequest, CreateCredentialRequest, SubmitFieldsRequest, etc.) have no JSON struct tags. The apijson struct decoder explicitly skips fields without JSON tags, so these primary data fields will never be populated during unmarshaling. The MarshalJSON still serializes the inner field's contents directly, making marshal/unmarshal asymmetric — data serialized by MarshalJSON cannot be recovered by UnmarshalJSON.
