Error due to missing uuid import in client.find_automation

[ogenstad]

Bug summary

When calling await client.find_automation(id_or_name="dd9465f4-2f1a-494e-b219-c05790b19f0a") there's an exception due to a missing import:

  File "/Users/patrick/.virtualenvs/infrahub/lib/python3.12/site-packages/prefect/client/orchestration/_automations/client.py", line 208, in find_automation
    id = UUID(id_or_name)
         ^^^^
NameError: name 'UUID' is not defined

The bug was introduced in #16579. When finding automations we try to create a UUID from the provided string here:

https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/blob/3.1.13/src/prefect/client/orchestration/_automations/client.py#L51

However the uuid library isn't imported aside from within the TYPE_CHECKING section: https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/blob/3.1.13/src/prefect/client/orchestration/_automations/client.py#L11

As a note the create_automation works differently:
https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/blob/3.1.13/src/prefect/client/orchestration/_automations/client.py#L24C9-L26

Additional context

As the imports are cached and I'm sure that the uuid package gets imported elsewhere regardless it feels like these inline imports just adds confusion.

PR to fix is up.

Yeah I can see that. We've chosen to keep some imports out of the type_checking guard (custom exception types, etc), and I get the argument that UUID is probably ubiquitous enough to be considered standard fare.
