Contributions summary:Prateek primarily contributed to the `mcrouter` project by implementing new features and improving existing ones. Their work involved adding functionality to retrieve socket addresses within the `McServerSession` and implementing a new protocol header for typed requests in memcache. They also refactored code by moving utility test classes to separate headers and added support for the version command in the Caret protocol. Finally, they serialized replies immediately, eliminating the use of `McReply` in `McServerSession`.
