+- **Streamlined test matrix** - Cleaner, more reliable CI runs
+
+### 🚀 Pydantic v2 Migration
+- **Upgraded to Pydantic v2** - Modern data validation with better performance
+- **Replaced deprecated `@validator`** with new `@field_validator` decorators
+- **Added proper type annotations** - Full type safety across all models
+- **Enhanced data validation** - More robust CSV row processing
+
+### 🛡️ Type Safety Improvements
+- **100% mypy compliance** - All type annotation errors resolved
+- **Proper exception handling** - Fixed ApiError inheritance issues
