## 🚀 Key Innovations

### 1. Seamless Version Coexistence

The ability to run v1 and v2 side-by-side with instant switching:

```bash
# Switch between versions instantly
fastmcp-ssh-server --host server --username user --tools-version v1
fastmcp-ssh-server --host server --username user --tools-version v2

# Environment-based control
SSH_MCP_TOOLS_VERSION=v2 fastmcp-ssh-server --tools-version auto
```

### 2. Zero-Configuration v2 Tools

Automatic tool registration eliminates boilerplate:

```python
# v1: Manual registration required
register_execute_command_tool(mcp, ssh_manager)
register_upload_tool(mcp, ssh_manager)
# ... 4 registration calls

# v2: Automatic registration
from .ssh_tools import mcp  # All tools registered!
```

### 3. Context-Aware Operation

Enhanced observability and debugging:

```python
# v1: Silent operation
result = await ssh_manager.execute_command(cmd)

# v2: Rich context and logging
if ctx:
    ctx.logger.info("Executing command", {"cmd": cmd})
    ctx.progress.update(50, "Processing...")
result = await ssh_manager.execute_command(cmd)
if ctx:
    ctx.logger.info("Command completed", {"output_size": len(result)})
```

### 4. Progressive Enhancement

Enhanced features without breaking existing functionality:

- Structured logging (when Context available)
- Progress reporting (when Context available)
- Rich metadata (enhances tool discovery)
- Better error messages (improves debugging)
