Downgrade shadow dependency to fix staging command
#### Background
* While executing 1.46.0 release, issues were encountered when staging JARS:
```
Execution failed for task ':smithy-cli:publishMavenJavaPublicationToMavenLocal'.
> Failed to publish publication 'mavenJava' to repository 'mavenLocal'
   > Invalid publication 'mavenJava': artifact file does not exist: '/Users/sugmanue/Sources/smithy/smithy-cli/build/libs/smithy-cli-1.46.0-all.jar'
```
* Tracked it down to bug fixes in latest version of `shadow`, where `-all` is the expected suffix

#### Testing
* How did you test these changes?

#### Links
* Links to additional context, if necessary
* Issue #, if applicable (see [here](https://docs.github.com/en/issues/tracking-your-work-with-issues/linking-a-pull-request-to-an-issue#linking-a-pull-request-to-an-issue-using-a-keyword) for a list of keywords to use for linking issues)

+
+===========================
+Smithy RPC v2 CBOR protocol
+===========================
+
+This specification defines the ``smithy.protocols#rpcv2Cbor`` protocol. This
+protocol is used to expose services that serialize RPC payloads as CBOR.
+
+.. smithy-trait:: smithy.protocols#rpcv2Cbor
+.. _smithy.protocols#rpcv2Cbor-trait:
+
+
+------------------------------------
+``smithy.protocols#rpcv2Cbor`` trait
+------------------------------------
+
+Summary
+    Adds support for an RPC-based protocol over HTTP that sends requests and
+    responses with CBOR payloads.
+Trait selector
+    ``service``
+Value type
+    Structure
+See
+    `Protocol tests <https://github.com/smithy-lang/smithy/tree/__smithy_version__/smithy-protocol-tests/model/rpcv2Cbor>`_
+
+``smithy.protocols#rpcv2Cbor`` is a structure that supports the following
+members:
+
+.. list-table::
+    :header-rows: 1
+    :widths: 10 20 70
+
+    * - Property
+      - Type
+      - Description
+    * - http
+      - ``[string]``
+      - The priority ordered list of supported HTTP protocol versions.
+    * - eventStreamHttp
+      - ``[string]``
+      - The priority ordered list of supported HTTP protocol versions
+        that are required when using :ref:`event streams <event-streams>`
+        with the service. If not set, this value defaults to the value
+        of the ``http`` member. Any entry in ``eventStreamHttp`` MUST
+        also appear in ``http``.
+
+Each entry in ``http`` and ``eventStreamHttp`` SHOULD be a valid
+`Application-Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) Protocol ID`_ (for example,
+``http/1.1``, ``h2``, etc). Clients SHOULD pick the first protocol in the
+list they understand when connecting to a service. A client SHOULD assume
+that a service supports ``http/1.1`` when no ``http`` or ``eventStreamHttp``
+values are provided.
+
+The following example defines a service that uses
+``smithy.protocols#rpcv2Cbor``.
+
+.. code-block:: smithy
+
+    $version: "2"
+
+    namespace smithy.example
+
+    use smithy.protocols#rpcv2Cbor
+
+    @rpcv2Cbor
+    service MyService {
+        version: "2020-07-02"
+    }
+
+The following example defines a service that requires the use of
+``h2`` when using event streams.
+
+.. code-block:: smithy
+
+    $version: "2"
+
+    namespace smithy.example
+
+    use smithy.protocols#rpcv2Cbor
+
+    @rpcv2Cbor(
+        http: ["h2", "http/1.1"],
+        eventStreamHttp: ["h2"]
+    )
+    service MyService {
+        version: "2020-02-05"
+    }
+
+The following example defines a service that requires the use of
+``h2`` or ``http/1.1`` when using event streams, where ``h2`` is
+preferred over ``http/1.1``.
+
+.. code-block:: smithy
+
+    $version: "2"
+
+    namespace smithy.example
+
+    use smithy.protocols#rpcv2Cbor
+
+    @rpcv2Cbor(
+        http: ["h2", "http/1.1"],
+        eventStreamHttp: ["h2", "http/1.1"]
+    )
+    service MyService {
+        version: "2020-02-05"
+    }
+
+The following example defines a service that requires the use of
+``h2`` for all requests, including event streams.
+
+.. code-block:: smithy
+
+    $version: "2"
+
+    namespace smithy.example
+
+    use smithy.protocols#rpcv2Cbor
+
+    @rpcv2Cbor(http: ["h2"])
+    service MyService {
+        version: "2020-02-05"
+    }
+
+
+----------------
+Supported traits
+----------------
+
+The ``smithy.protocols#rpcv2Cbor`` protocol supports the following traits
+that affect serialization:
+
+.. list-table::
+    :header-rows: 1
+    :widths: 20 80
+
+    * - Trait
+      - Description
+    * - :ref:`cors <cors-trait>`
+      - Indicates that the service supports CORS.
+    * - :ref:`endpoint <endpoint-trait>`
+      - Configures a custom operation endpoint.
+    * - :ref:`hostLabel <hostLabel-trait>`
+      - Binds a top-level operation input structure member to a label in
+        the hostPrefix of an endpoint trait.
+    * - :ref:`httpError <httpError-trait>`
+      - A ``client`` error has a default status code of ``400``, and a
+        ``server`` error has a default status code of ``500``. The
+        ``httpError`` trait is used to define a custom status code.
+    * - :ref:`requestCompression <requestCompression-trait>`
+      - Indicates that an operation supports compressing requests from clients
+        to services.
+
+
+------------------
+Protocol behaviors
+------------------
+
+Implementations of the ``smithy.protocols#rpcv2Cbor`` protocol comply with the
+following rules:
+
+~~~~~~~~
+Requests
+~~~~~~~~
+ 
+Every request for the ``rpcv2Cbor`` protocol MUST contain a ``Smithy-Protocol``
+header with the value of ``rpc-v2-cbor``.
+
+Every request for the ``rpcv2Cbor`` protocol MUST be sent using the HTTP
+``POST`` method. :ref:`HTTP binding traits <http-traits>` MUST be ignored when
+building ``rpcv2Cbor`` requests if they are present.
+
+Every request for the ``rpcv2Cbor`` protocol MUST be sent to a URL with the
+following form: ``{prefix?}/service/{serviceName}/operation/{operationName}``
+
+* The Smithy RPCv2 CBOR protocol will only use the last four segments of the
+    URL when routing requests. For example, a service could use a ``v1`` prefix
+    in the URL path, which would not affect the operation a request is routed
+    to: ``v1/service/FooService/operation/BarOperation``
+* The ``serviceName`` segment MUST be replaced by the :token:`shape name <smithy:Identifier>`
+    of the service's :ref:`shape-id` in the Smithy model. The ``serviceName``
+    produced by client implementations MUST NOT contain the namespace of the
+    ``service`` shape. Service implementations SHOULD accept an absolute shape
+    ID as the content of this segment with the ``#`` character replaced with a
+    ``.`` character, routing it the same as if only the name was specified. For
+    example, if the ``service``'s absolute shape ID is
+    ``com.example#TheService``, a service should accept both ``TheService`` and
+    ``com.example.TheService`` as values for the ``serviceName`` segment.
+* The ``operationName`` segment MUST be replaced by the name of the ``operation``
+    shape in the Smithy. The ``operationName`` produced by client
+    implementations MUST NOT contain the namespace of the ``operation`` shape.
+    Service implementations MUST NOT accept an absolute shape ID as the content
+    of this segment.
+
+Requests for the ``rpcv2Cbor`` protocol MUST use the following behavior for
+setting a ``Content-Type`` header:
+
+* Buffered RPC requests: the value of the ``Content-Type`` header MUST be
+    ``application/cbor``.
+* Event streaming requests: the value of the ``Content-Type`` header MUST be
+    ``application/vnd.amazon.eventstream``.
+* Requests for operations with no defined input type (as in, they target the
+    ``Unit`` shape) MUST NOT contain bodies in their HTTP requests. The
+    ``Content-Type`` for the serialization format MUST NOT be set.
+
+Requests for the ``rpcv2Cbor`` protocol MUST NOT contain an ``X-Amz-Target`` or
+``X-Amzn-Target`` header. An ``rpcv2Cbor`` request is malformed if it contains
+either of these headers. Server-side implementations MUST reject such requests
+for security reasons.
+
+Buffered RPC requests for the ``rpcv2Cbor`` protocol SHOULD include a
+``Content-Length`` header. Event streaming requests MUST NOT specify a content
+length (instead using ``Transfer-Encoding: chunked`` on HTTP/1.1).
+
+Event streaming requests for the ``rpcv2Cbor`` protocol MUST include an
+``Accept`` header set to the value ``application/vnd.amazon.eventstream``.
+Other forms of content streaming MAY be added in the future, utilizing
+different values for ``Accept``.
+
+In summary, the ``rpcv2Cbor`` protocol defines behavior for the following
+headers for requests:
+
+.. list-table::
+    :header-rows: 1
+    :widths: 18 18 64
+
+    * - Header
+      - Status
+      - Description
+    * - ``Smithy-Protocol``
+      - Required
+      - The value of ``rpc-v2-cbor``.
+    * - ``Content-Type``
+      - Required with request bodies
+      - The value of ``application/cbor``. For event streaming requests, this
+        is ``application/vnd.amazon.eventstream``.
+    * - ``Content-Length``
+      - Conditional
+      - The standard ``Content-Length`` header defined by :rfc:`7230#section-3.3.2`.
+        For event streaming requests, this MUST NOT be set.
+    * - ``Accept``
+      - Conditional
+      - For event streaming requests, to the value ``application/vnd.amazon.eventstream``.
+
+
+~~~~~~~~~
+Responses
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+The status code for successful ``rpcv2Cbor`` responses MUST be ``200``.
+ 
+The status code for error ``rpcv2Cbor`` MUST be determined by the following
+steps:
+
+1. If the :ref:`httpError <httpError-trait>` trait is set on the error shape,
+   its value is used.
+2. If the :ref:`error <error-trait>` trait is set to ``server``, the value
+   MUST be ``500``.
+3. Otherwise, the value MUST be ``400``.
+
+Every response for the ``rpcv2Cbor`` protocol MUST contain a ``Smithy-Protocol``
+header with the value of ``rpc-v2-cbor``. The response MUST match the value of
+the ``Smithy-Protocol`` header from the request.
+
+Responses for the ``rpcv2Cbor`` protocol MUST use the following behavior for
+setting a ``Content-Type`` header:
+
+* Buffered RPC responses: the value of the ``Content-Type`` header MUST be
+  ``application/cbor``.
+* Event streaming responses: the value of the ``Content-Type`` header MUST be
+  ``application/vnd.amazon.eventstream``.
+* Responses for operations with no defined output type (as in, they target the
+  ``Unit`` shape) MUST NOT contain bodies in their HTTP responses. The
+  ``Content-Type`` for the serialization format MUST NOT be set.
+
+Buffered RPC responses for the ``rpcv2Cbor`` protocol SHOULD include a
+``Content-Length`` header. Event streaming responses SHOULD NOT specify a
+content length (instead using ``Transfer-Encoding: chunked`` on HTTP/1.1).
+
+Responses for the ``rpcv2Cbor`` protocol SHOULD NOT contain the
+``X-Amzn-ErrorType`` header. Type information is always serialized in the
+payload. Clients MUST ignore this header. See `Operation error serialization`_
+for information on the serialization of error responses.
+
+In summary, the ``rpcv2Cbor`` protocol defines behavior for the following
+headers for responses:
+
+.. list-table::
+    :header-rows: 1
+    :widths: 18 18 64
+
+    * - Header
+      - Status
+      - Description
+    * - ``Smithy-Protocol``
+      - Required
+      - The value of ``rpc-v2-cbor``.
+    * - ``Content-Type``
+      - Required with request bodies
+      - The value of ``application/cbor``. For event streaming requests, this
+        is ``application/vnd.amazon.eventstream``.
+    * - ``Content-Length``
+      - Conditional
+      - The standard ``Content-Length`` header defined by :rfc:`7230#section-3.3.2`.
+        For event streaming requests, this SHOULD NOT be set.
+
+
+-------------------
+Shape serialization
+-------------------
+
+The ``smithy.protocols#rpcv2Cbor`` protocol serializes all shapes into a CBOR
+document body with no HTTP bindings supported. The following table shows how
+to convert each shape type:
+
+.. list-table::
+    :header-rows: 1
+    :widths: 25 75
+
+    * - Smithy type
+      - CBOR representation
+    * - ``blob``
+      - :rfc:`Major type 2 (byte string) <8949#section-3.1-2.5>`
+    * - ``boolean``
+      - :rfc:`Major type 7 (simple) <8949#section-3.1-2.15>`
+    * - ``byte``
+      - :rfc:`Major type 0 (unsigned integer) <8949#section-3.1-2.1>` or
+        :rfc:`major type 1 (negative integer) <8949#section-3.1-2.3>`
+    * - ``short``
+      - :rfc:`Major type 0 (unsigned integer) <8949#section-3.1-2.1>` or
+        :rfc:`major type 1 (negative integer) <8949#section-3.1-2.3>`
+    * - ``integer``
+      - :rfc:`Major type 0 (unsigned integer) <8949#section-3.1-2.1>` or
+        :rfc:`major type 1 (negative integer) <8949#section-3.1-2.3>`
+    * - ``long``
+      - :rfc:`Major type 0 (unsigned integer) <8949#section-3.1-2.1>` or
+        :rfc:`major type 1 (negative integer) <8949#section-3.1-2.3>`
+    * - ``float``
+      - :rfc:`Major type 7 (float) <8949#section-3.1-2.15>`
+    * - ``double``
+      - :rfc:`Major type 7 (float) <8949#section-3.1-2.15>`
+    * - ``bigDecimal``
+      - :rfc:`Major type 6 <8949#section-3.1-2.13>`, value
+        :rfc:`tags 2 (unsigned bignum) or 3 (negative bignum) <8949#section-3.4>`
+    * - ``bigInteger``
+      - :rfc:`Major type 6 <8949#section-3.1-2.13>`, value
+        :rfc:`tag 4 (decimal fraction) <8949#section-3.4>`
+    * - ``string``
+      - :rfc:`Major type 3 (text string) <8949#section-3.1-2.7>`
+    * - ``timestamp``
+      - See `Timestamp type serialization`_.
+    * - ``document``
+      - Document types are not currently supported in this protocol.
+    * - ``list``
+      - :rfc:`Major type 4 (array of data items) <8949#section-3.1-2.9>`
+    * - ``map``
+      - :rfc:`Major type 5 (map of pairs of data items) <8949#section-3.1-2.11>`,
+        each key/value pair is a pair in the type
+    * - ``structure``
+      - :rfc:`Major type 5 (map of pairs of data items) <8949#section-3.1-2.11>`,
+        each member is the key to a pair in the type
+    * - ``union``
+      - :rfc:`Major type 5 (map of pairs of data items) <8949#section-3.1-2.11>`,
+        each member is the key to a pair in the type.
+
+        A union is serialized identically as a ``structure``
+        shape, but only a single member can be set to a non-null value.
+        Deserializers MUST ignore an unrecognized ``__type`` member if present.
+
+Values that are ``null`` MUST be omitted from wire contents where not subject
+to `default value serialization`_ rules.
+
+If an implementation does not support arbitrary precision (``bigInteger`` and
+``bigDecimal`` Smithy types), it MUST fail when attempting to deserialize a
+value of that type.
+
+.. note::
+    The ``undefined`` CBOR value, CBOR :rfc:`major type 7 <8949#section-3.1-2.15>`
+    :rfc:`value 23 <8949#section-3.3>`, is not supported. Clients SHOULD NOT
+    serialize to this CBOR value and SHOULD deserialize this CBOR value to
+    ``null``. Servers MUST NOT serialize to this CBOR value and MUST
+    deserialize this CBOR value to ``null``.
+
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Numeric type serialization
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ 
+Numeric types (``byte``, ``short``, ``integer``, ``long``, ``float``, and ``double``)
+SHOULD be serialized into the smallest possible CBOR type representation that
+can contain its value. For example, a field modeled as a ``long`` with a value of
+1 should be sent in a single byte.
+
+Floating-point numeric types (``float`` and ``double``) MAY be serialized into
+non-floating-point numeric types (``byte``, ``short``, ``integer``, and ``long``) if
+and only if the conversion would not cause a loss of precision. For example, a
+field modeled as a ``float`` with a value of 256 may be sent as an integer.
+
+As support for half-precision floating-point values is inconsistent across
+implementations, floating-point numeric types SHOULD NOT serialize into a
+half-precision (16 bit) numeric CBOR values. Implementations MUST be capable of
+deserializing half-precision numeric CBOR values (including -Infinity,
+Infinity, and NAN) into their Smithy type representation.
+
+Numeric types MUST be deserialized into their Smithy type representation. For
+example, a field modeled as a ``long`` with a single byte value of 1 must be
+deserialized into a long.
+
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Timestamp type serialization
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Timestamps are serialized as :rfc:`major type 6 <8949#section-3.1-2.13>`, value
+:rfc:`tag 1 (epoch-based date/time) <8949#section-3.4>` to indicate the tagged
+value is an epoch timestamp. Values are either :rfc:`major type 0 (unsigned integer) <8949#section-3.1-2.1>`
+or :rfc:`major type 1 (negative integer) <8949#section-3.1-2.3>` for integer
+values or :rfc:`major type 7 <8949#section-3.1-2.15>`,
+:rfc:`value 25 (half-precision float), 26 (single-precision float), or 27 (double-precision float) <8949#section-3.3>`
+for floating-point values.
+
+As support for half-precision floating-point values is inconsistent across
+implementations, timestamp types SHOULD NOT serialize into a half-precision
+(16 bit) numeric CBOR value for the tagged value.
+
+This protocol uses ``epoch-seconds``, also known as Unix timestamps, with
+millisecond (1/1000th of a second) resolution. The :ref:`timestampFormat <timestampFormat-trait>`
+MUST NOT be respected to customize timestamp serialization.
+
+
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Default value serialization
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+To avoid information disclosure, service serializers SHOULD omit the default
+value of structure members that are marked with the :ref:`internal trait <internal-trait>`.
+
+Client deserializers SHOULD attempt to error correct structures that omit a
+:ref:`required <required-trait>` member by filling in a default zero value for
+the member. Error correction allows clients to continue to function while the
+server is in error.
+
+----------------------------------
+Operation response deserialization
+----------------------------------
+ 
+Clients MUST use the following rules to interpret responses and determine how
+to deserialize them:
+
+1. If the response does not have the same ``Smithy-Protocol`` header as the
+    request, it MUST be considered malformed. Clients who receive a malformed
+    response MUST handle it (i.e. throw a reasonable exception) based solely on
+    the HTTP response code. No attempt should be made to interpret the response
+    body or headers.
+2. If the response code is ``200``, the request is successful and the response
+    payload SHALL be deserialized as the ``output`` shape defined on the
+    operation.
+3. Finally, if the response code is not ``200``, the response payload is an
+    exception and SHALL be deserialized according to `Operation error serialization`_
+
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Operation error serialization
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Error responses in the ``rpcv2Cbor`` protocol MUST be serialized identically to
+standard responses with one additional component to distinguish which error is
+contained: a body field named ``__type``. This value of this component MUST
+contain the error’s absolute :ref:`shape-id`.
+
+By default, all error shapes have a ``message`` field containing an
+error-specific message meant for human consumers of API errors. Services MUST
+support generating this field and serializing it when responding. Clients MUST
+support generating this field and deserializing it from responses.
+
+The ``Code`` response body field and ``code`` response body field MUST NOT be
+used to distinguish which error is contained in a response.
+
+Clients who receive a malformed error response MUST handle it based solely on
+the HTTP response code (i.e. throw a reasonable exception). No attempt should
+be made to interpret the response body or headers.

-    The ``awsQueryCompatible`` trait allows services to backward compatibly migrate from ``awsQuery`` to
