Brings FastAPI-style background task execution to FastMCP as the next step
toward MCP SEP-1686 support. When `FASTMCP_EXPERIMENTAL_ENABLE_DOCKET=true`,
FastMCP automatically creates a Docket instance with an in-process Worker,
enabling tools to schedule background tasks via dependency injection.
```python
from fastmcp.dependencies import CurrentDocket
@mcp.tool()
async def analyze_data(query: str, docket: Docket = CurrentDocket()) -> str:
# Schedule work to run in background
await docket.add(long_running_analysis)(query)
return "Analysis started"
```
This provides Starlette-like background task capabilities without requiring
distributed infrastructure. All tasks run in the same process via memory://
broker. Distributed workers will come in a future phase.
Also adds `CurrentContext()` and `CurrentWorker()` dependency functions
following Docket's pattern (no `Depends()` wrapper needed).
New `fastmcp.dependencies` module centralizes all dependency injection exports
to keep the top-level namespace clean.
