🚨 Critical Hotfix Release

PRODUCTION BLOCKER FIXED: This release resolves a critical issue that prevented the HTTP server from starting in v8.36.0.

Issue Fixed

HTTP Server Crash on Startup (issue #247)

Severity: Critical (blocks HTTP server startup)
Affected Version: v8.36.0
Impact: All v8.36.0 users experiencing immediate startup failures

Root Cause

PR #244's code quality refactoring introduced forward type references in analytics.py without the required from __future__ import annotations import. This caused Python's type checker to fail when encountering forward references like tuple[str, int] before Python 3.10.

Fix Details

# Added to src/mcp_memory_service/web/api/analytics.py
from __future__ import annotations
from typing import Tuple  # Python 3.9 compatibility

What Changed

✅ Added from __future__ import annotations to enable forward references
✅ Added Tuple to typing imports for Python 3.9 compatibility
✅ HTTP server now starts successfully
✅ All 10 analytics routes register correctly

Testing & Verification

Verified on:

✅ Python 3.9, 3.10, 3.11, 3.12
✅ HTTP server startup (uv run python scripts/server/run_http_server.py)
✅ Health endpoint returns correct version
✅ Analytics endpoints functional
✅ No regression in existing functionality

Upgrade Instructions

For v8.36.0 users experiencing startup failures:

# Update to v8.36.1
pip install --upgrade mcp-memory-service

# Or with uv
uv pip install --upgrade mcp-memory-service

# Verify version
python -c "import mcp_memory_service; print(mcp_memory_service.__version__)"
# Should output: 8.36.1

# Test HTTP server
uv run python scripts/server/run_http_server.py
# Should start without errors

For users on v8.35.0 or earlier:

No action required if not experiencing issues
Recommended to upgrade when convenient for code quality improvements
