## [0.2.0] - 2025-11-27
### Added - Phase 2.5: Technical Debt Resolution
- Custom exception hierarchy with detailed error information
- Comprehensive error handling across all modules
- AsyncIO refactoring for all database operations
- Full MCP protocol compliance with isError flags
- 62 comprehensive unit tests across all modules:
- 28 database tests (Neo4j connection, CRUD, relationships, statistics)
- 19 server tests (MCP handlers, validation, error handling)
- 8 exception tests (custom exceptions, error hierarchy)
- 7 model tests (Pydantic validation, serialization)
### Fixed
- All async database operations now properly use AsyncIO
- Server handlers correctly set isError=True for error responses
- Comprehensive exception handling in all handler methods
- Mock return values aligned with actual implementation
- API parameter names standardized (depth → max_depth, memory_type → type)
### Improved
- Test coverage increased from 67% to 76%:
- database.py: 65% → 71%
- server.py: 38% → 63%
- models.py: 97%
- All 62 tests passing (100% pass rate)
- Better error messages with context and validation details
- Consistent exception handling patterns
### Technical Debt Paid
- ✅ Async refactoring complete
- ✅ Custom exceptions implemented
- ✅ Test infrastructure created
- ✅ Error handling standardized
- ✅ MCP protocol compliance verified
