Performance & Reliability Improvements

Under the hood

This release is focused on platform performance, reliability, and code health. No new features — just making everything faster and more stable behind the scenes.

• Faster MCP API responses. API key authentication now runs a lightweight read instead of a write on every request, reducing database load and shaving latency off every authenticated call.
• Leaner data retrieval. Trend analysis and search pipelines now skip fetching large embedding vectors when they aren't needed, reducing response sizes and speeding up content lookups.
• General stability. Removed unused code and consolidated internal infrastructure to reduce complexity and surface area for bugs. No behavior changes — just a cleaner, more maintainable platform.
