v0.5.0

[AnthonyPuggs]

Semantic-defaults and release-readiness release.

Highlights

• get_economic_series now resolves the shipped curated concepts to concrete default series instead of broad ABS datasets or RBA tables.
• Public onboarding docs now cover the main local MCP clients: Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and Codex.
• The README now reflects the actual v0.5.0 tool contract and clearly states that this repository currently ships a local stdio MCP server only.

Changed

• cash_rate_target now narrows to the RBA cash rate target series from table a2 (ARBAMPCNCRT).
• headline_cpi now narrows to the ABS all groups CPI index for Australia, quarterly (1.10001.10.50.Q).
• trimmed_mean_inflation now narrows to the RBA year-ended trimmed mean inflation series from table g1 (GCPIOCPMTMYP).
• gdp_growth now narrows to ABS quarterly real GDP growth from ANA_AGG (M2.GPM.20.AUS.Q).

Fixed

• ABS structure parsing now handles the current live SDMX structure shape, including nested dimension metadata and TimeDimension entries.
• ABS CSV parsing now handles current upstream column names such as TIME_PERIOD, UNIT_MEASURE, UNIT_MULT, and OBS_STATUS.
• Behavioural and hygiene tests now pin the v0.5.0 semantic shortcut contract and public onboarding text.

Documentation

• Updated the tool table for get_economic_series to include concept, variant, geography, frequency, start, and end.
• Rewrote stale v0.3.x / v0.4.0 wording so the README now describes the current release only.
• Added copy-paste setup examples for Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and Codex.
