resolves breakage in #2962 by allowing both `from _composable_pass` and
`from composable_pass` imports. This is a problem as in tket-py we
access the private module `_composable_pass` for the implementation of
`PytketHugrPass` (not the best practice on my part).

I've added a duplicate` _composable_pass.py` file now with a wildcard
import (gross)

Will remove this once we have `_composable_pass` usage removed from
tket-py. There shouldn't be any `_scope` usage in the tket-py main
branch.

Theres probably a nicer way to do this with something like

```python
import sys
sys.modules["_foo"] = sys.modules[__name__]
```
However this wasn't immediately working for me.

##
[0.16.0](hugr-py-v0.15.4...hugr-py-v0.16.0)
(2026-04-01)

This release changes the default text serialization format from JSON to
`MODEL_WITH_EXTS` (the JSON format is now deprecated).
It also adds the ability to link packages and modules from Python,
renders operation type arguments in HUGR visualizations, introduces a
new `debug_info` module for attaching source-level debug metadata to
nodes,
and introduces multi-version support in `ExtensionRegistry`, allowing
different versions of the same extension to coexist in the same
registry.


### ⚠ BREAKING CHANGES

* `ExtensionRegistry` may now contain multiple versions of the same
extension. `.extensions` is now an iterator of the latest versions
instead of a dictionary. `.register_updated` and `.add_extension` have
been replaced with a singular `.register`.
* Default `EnvelopeConfig` changed from `EnvelopeFormat.JSON` to
`EnvelopeFormat.MODEL_WITH_EXTS`.
* Substituted `hugr-py/src/hugr/tys.py::_type_str` with
`hugr-py/src/hugr/utils.py::name_w_args`.
