Critical Installation Bug Fix + Code Quality Improvements

Overview

This release fixes a critical bug in install.py that prevented 77 lines of Claude Desktop MCP configuration code from executing. Users installing mcp-memory-service will now get proper automatic MCP server setup.

Key Changes

Fixed

• Critical Installation Bug: Removed early return False at line 1358 in install.py that made lines 1360-1436 unreachable
  • 77 lines of Claude Desktop setup code now properly executes during installation
  • Users will now get automatic MCP server configuration when running install.py
  • Resolves all 27 pyscn dead code violations identified in issue #240 Phase 1

Improved

• Modernized install.py with pathlib throughout (via Gemini Code Assist automated review)
• Specific exception handling (OSError, PermissionError, JSONDecodeError) instead of bare except
• Fixed Windows memory_wrapper.py path resolution bug (now uses resolve() for absolute paths)
• Added config structure validation to prevent TypeError on malformed JSON
• Import optimization and better error messages
• Code structure improvements from 10+ Gemini Code Assist review iterations
