4 new tools (tidal_phase, deployment_briefing, catch_tidal_context,
water_level_anomaly) and 2 prompts (smartpot_deployment, crab_pot_analysis)
for autonomous crab pot deployment planning and catch correlation.
Pure tidal phase classification in tidal.py with no MCP dependencies.
65 tests passing, lint clean.
Distribution name, import package, entry point script, MCP config,
and all internal references updated. Git tracks the directory rename
so file history is preserved.
New visualize_tides and visualize_conditions MCP tools that generate
PNG (inline via MCP ImageContent) or interactive HTML (Plotly) charts.
Optional dependency group [viz] keeps the base install lightweight.
- charts/ package: rendering logic separated from MCP tool wiring
- Shared marine color palette (ocean blue, teal, slate, sand, coral)
- 14 new tests (parsing, PNG/HTML rendering, tool registration)
- Example chart images in README with realistic synthetic tidal data
- Station ID validation (7-digit regex) prevents path traversal
- Stale cache fallback: serve expired data if refresh fails
- Resilient startup: server starts even if NOAA is down
- Contextual HTTP error messages with recovery hints
- Hours range validation (1-720)
- find_nearest limit/distance validation
- search() and find_nearest() now async with cache TTL checks
- Better error type info in conditions snapshot partial failures
7 tools: station search/nearest/info, tide predictions/observations,
meteorological data (Literal selector for 8 products), and parallel
marine conditions snapshot. 3 resources, 2 prompts, full test suite.
