v.1.2.1 semantic expansion

AusEcon MCP v1.2.1

This release is the first public v1.2 release. It combines the initial v1.2 semantic expansion with a follow-up RBA coverage tranche, growing the curated semantic catalogue from 29 to 48 analyst-friendly concepts while preserving the existing MCP tool surface and response contract.

Added

• Added 19 new curated semantic concepts across ABS and RBA sources:
  • real_gdp
  • nominal_gdp
  • household_consumption
  • private_investment
  • retail_turnover
  • broad_money
  • bank_bill_rate
  • total_credit
  • total_credit_growth
  • housing_credit_growth
  • business_credit_growth
  • m3
  • money_base
  • currency_in_circulation
  • aud_cny
  • aud_jpy
  • aud_eur
  • aud_gbp
  • aud_nzd
• Added resolver, service-forwarding, generated-docs, and bounded live integration coverage for the new concepts.
• Added post-v1.1 roadmap documentation for v1.2, v1.3, v1.4, and v2.0.
• Added hosted deployment checklist documentation for /, /healthz, server-card metadata, Smithery listing state, and Render uptime.
• Added docs-site hygiene checks for Vercel Analytics and Speed Insights.

Changed

• Updated README and generated semantic reference from 29 to 48 curated macroeconomic concepts.
• Corrected f11 exchange-rate semantic metadata to monthly, matching the RBA series returned by f11-data.csv.
• Expanded operations documentation to distinguish MCP server observability from docs-site observability.
• Updated roadmap documentation to mark the first two v1.2 semantic tranches as landed.
• Kept ABS housing and monthly CPI replacement work deferred until source-native retrieval is stable.

Fixed

• Fixed Python 3.10 CI failures by normalising nested optional-union parameter descriptions to top-level tool schema descriptions.
• Preserved Smithery/server-card compatibility across supported Python versions.

Compatibility

• No MCP tool removals.
• No response-schema changes.
• No breaking changes for existing clients.
• Stdio remains the default local transport; Streamable HTTP remains the hosted transport.
