Second release of the Missing Layer demo. Everything here is backward-compatible with the v1.0.0 rich API.
Added
- Minimal ablation endpoint (
mcpMinimal) — a metadata-stripped twin ofget_building_profile: one-sentence description, no schema, no curatedalerts[]. Same data, no metadata layer, so the paper's thesis can be tested by contrast. - Apps on the minimal tier — the minimal endpoint exposes the same tool set as rich (
get_building_profile+render_chart/render_table/render_map), every tool stripped to minimal instructions. The only variable between the two endpoints is the metadata itself. - Dual hosted endpoints, documented with a runnable A/B prompt and deep links to the metadata in source.
Changed
render_tablerework — migrated to TanStack Table v9 stable, fixedpagination:false(renders all rows) and global search, refactored footer aggregation.- README restructured for a conference-first read: paper link → thesis → "try it live" → why → depth.
