   - Replace stackable-operator `print_startup_string` with `tracing::info!` with fields.
 - BREAKING: Inject the vector aggregator address into the vector config using the env var `VECTOR_AGGREGATOR_ADDRESS` instead
     of having the operator write it to the vector config ([#645]).
+- test: Bump to Vector `0.46.1` ([#657]).
