This version only updates the version of the Decomp toolkit, not UDS1.0. It fixes a minor error in how arguments within copular clauses are linked to the syntax node they are instantiated by, bringing it in line with the UDS1.0 spec. These arguments are always headed by nouns—e.g. "star" in "be a star" and not adjectives—e.g. "nice" in "be nice"—and they always have trivial spans (only containing the head).

This only affects the genericity annotations of UDS1.0, since the other annotation sets do not annotate these arguments, which are not produced by PredPatt directly, but rather a postprocessing of copular arguments produced by PredPatt to extract nominal arguments from them (when they exist). The error caused a self-loop on the argument node itself due to faulty string replacement logic. (This is illegal under the UDS1.0 spec, since semantics nodes cannot instantiate semantics nodes.).
