TinyContext v0.5.0

TinyContext v0.5.0 adds optional, vendor-neutral OpenTelemetry instrumentation and OTLP export for standalone deployments.

Highlights:

• Add optional OpenTelemetry tracing and metrics with standard OTLP environment configuration.
• Instrument memory lifecycle operations, recall pipeline stages, embedding, ranking, SQLite store access, and background reindex work below the FastAPI/MCP transport layer.
• Keep telemetry payload-free by default: no memory contents, prompts, queries, session IDs, paths, credentials, exception messages, or stack traces are exported.
• Add tinysuite-context[telemetry] optional dependencies, with Docker and CI installing the telemetry extra.
• Document pip, uvx, and Docker telemetry setup plus supported OTEL_* configuration.
• Improve recall performance through bounded candidate pooling.
• Add memory sorting, default embedding-model updates, near-duplicate detection, and token-length notices.

• python scripts/check_release_metadata.py --expected-version v0.5.0
• python -m unittest discover tests -q
• python scripts/smoke_mcp_stdio.py
