This PR upgrades Django from 5.2.8 to 6.0.5 (major version bump), updates several dependencies (django-autocomplete-light, django-timezone-field, wagtail-localize, pydantic), and adds django-tasks as an explicit dependency with a TASKS setting.

Issues

ImmediateBackend in base.py will run in production with no override

backend/pycon/settings/base.py sets ImmediateBackend as the default and prod.py has no TASKS override. This means all django-tasks workloads (Wagtail modelsearch indexing) will run synchronously inside the HTTP request/response cycle in production, adding unbounded latency to any admin action that triggers indexing. The existing pattern in this codebase is to set safe defaults in base.py and override in prod.py (e.g., CELERY_BROKER_URL, STORAGES, CACHES). A DatabaseBackend or similar async backend should be configured in prod.py.

Wagtail 7.2.3 does not officially support Django 6.0

wagtail==7.2.3 supports Django 4.2, 5.1, and 5.2 — Django 6.0 support was added in Wagtail 7.3. Running 7.2.3 with Django 6.0 is outside the supported matrix; breakage may be subtle and not caught by tests. wagtail-headless-preview==0.8.0 (released Feb 2024) likely has the same gap. This is also one of the PR's own open TODO items.

django-tasks 0.8.1 predates Django 6.0's built-in django.tasks module

The lockfile pins django-tasks==0.8.1 (released July 2025). Django 6.0 ships its own built-in django.tasks module with a different API (notably, Task lacks enqueue_on_commit). The PR acknowledges this conflict, but the lock file has not been regenerated to a version that explicitly supports Django 6.0. Anyone running uv sync will get 0.8.1 regardless of the >=0.8,<0.13 range in pyproject.toml.

django_tasks missing from INSTALLED_APPS

The django-tasks docs recommend adding django_tasks to INSTALLED_APPS. It is required for DatabaseBackend migrations, and omitting it when switching backends later will cause a non-obvious failure.
