MCP Gateway Update

Previous: v0.0.71 → New: v0.0.73
Timeline: Released 2026-01-20 (both v0.0.72 and v0.0.73 released same day)
Docker Image: ghcr.io/githubnext/gh-aw-mcpg:v0.0.73

Breaking Changes

None

New Features

None - this is a maintenance release focusing on code quality

Bug Fixes

• Fixed linting and test errors (fix: resolve linting and test errors gh-aw-mcpg#386)
• Improved error reporting in TOML parser (Upgrade toml to v1.6.0 with metadata validation and enhanced error reporting gh-aw-mcpg#383)

Code Quality & Maintenance

• TOML Dependency Upgrade: Updated to v1.6.0 with enhanced metadata validation and error reporting (Upgrade toml to v1.6.0 with metadata validation and enhanced error reporting gh-aw-mcpg#383)
• Code Consolidation: Eliminated duplicate initialization patterns using Go generics across multiple packages (Refactor: Consolidate files, eliminate duplicate init patterns with generics, standardize validation naming gh-aw-mcpg#382)
• Server Package Refactor: Removed duplicate code in server infrastructure for better maintainability (Refactor: Eliminate duplicate code in server package gh-aw-mcpg#384)
• Linting Improvements: Used tagged switch for status code comparison (QF1003) (refactor: use tagged switch for status code comparison (QF1003) gh-aw-mcpg#387)
• Validation Standardization: Unified validation naming conventions across the codebase (Refactor: Consolidate files, eliminate duplicate init patterns with generics, standardize validation naming gh-aw-mcpg#382)

Testing Improvements

• Added comprehensive test coverage for HTTP server infrastructure (transport.go) ([test] Add comprehensive tests for transport.go (HTTP server infrastructure) gh-aw-mcpg#373)
• Improved test quality and coverage for the config rules package ([test-improver] Improve tests for config/rules package gh-aw-mcpg#381)

Observability

• Added debug logging to internal/guard/context.go for improved observability ([log] Add debug logging to internal/guard/context.go gh-aw-mcpg#379)

Impact Assessment

• Risk: Low
• Affected Features: None - internal improvements only
• Migration Required: No - drop-in replacement

Release Notes
