+- **🐳 Fixed Docker Support**: Resolved build issues with proper file copying and modern license formats
+- **📖 DeepWiki Integration**: Interactive documentation available at deepwiki.com/InfantLab/VideoAnnotator
+
+### 🛠️ API Endpoints & Usage
+
+#### Core Job Management
+```bash
+# Submit video processing job
+POST /api/v1/jobs/
+# Monitor job status  
+GET /api/v1/jobs/{job_id}
+# Retrieve detailed results
+GET /api/v1/jobs/{job_id}/results
+# Download specific pipeline outputs
+GET /api/v1/jobs/{job_id}/results/files/{pipeline}
+```
+
+#### System Management
+```bash
+# Health check and server info
+GET /health
+GET /api/v1/debug/server-info
+# List available pipelines
+GET /api/v1/pipelines
+# Configuration validation
+POST /api/v1/config/validate
+```
+
+#### Modern CLI Commands
+```bash
+# Start integrated API server
+uv run videoannotator server --port 8000
+
+# Job management via CLI
+uv run videoannotator job submit video.mp4 --pipelines scene,person,face
+uv run videoannotator job status <job_id>  
+uv run videoannotator job results <job_id>
+uv run videoannotator job list --status completed

+- **🗄️ Database Integration**: SQLite-based job storage with full CRUD operations
+- **🔐 Security Framework**: JWT authentication ready for production deployment
+
+### 🛡️ Compatibility & Migration
+
+#### Breaking Changes
+- **CLI Interface**: Legacy `python demo.py` replaced with `uv run videoannotator` commands
+- **Configuration**: Updated to API-first workflow - direct pipeline usage now for development only
+- **Dependencies**: Requires uv package manager for optimal performance
+
+#### Migration Path
+```bash
+# Install uv package manager
+curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh  # Linux/Mac
+powershell -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"  # Windows
+
+# Update existing installation
+uv sync  # Fast dependency installation
+uv sync --extra dev  # Include development dependencies
+
+# Start using modern API server
+uv run videoannotator server  # Replaces old direct processing
+```
+
+#### Backward Compatibility
+- **✅ Pipeline Architecture**: All pipelines remain fully functional with same output formats
+- **✅ Configuration Files**: Existing YAML configs work with new API system
+- **✅ Output Formats**: JSON schemas unchanged - existing analysis code continues working
+- **✅ Docker Support**: Updated containers with same functionality
+
+### 🎯 Production Readiness
+
+#### Deployment Features  
+- **🚀 Single Command Startup**: `uv run videoannotator server` starts complete system
+- **📊 Health Monitoring**: Built-in health endpoints for system monitoring
+- **🔄 Graceful Shutdowns**: Proper cleanup of background processes and resources
+- **📱 API Documentation**: Auto-generated OpenAPI/Swagger documentation
+- **🐳 Container Support**: Fixed Docker builds for both CPU and GPU deployment
+
+#### Performance & Reliability
+- **⚡ Fast Startup**: Models load on-demand, reducing initial startup time  
+- **🔄 Concurrent Processing**: Handle multiple video jobs simultaneously
+- **💾 Resource Management**: Proper cleanup prevents memory leaks
+- **🛡️ Error Recovery**: Robust error handling with detailed status reporting
+
+### 🧪 Quality Assurance
+
+#### Testing & Validation
+- **✅ Comprehensive API Testing**: Full test coverage for job management and processing workflows
+- **✅ Integration Testing**: End-to-end tests with real video processing
+- **✅ Docker Validation**: Verified container builds and deployments  
+- **✅ Documentation Accuracy**: All examples tested and validated for v1.2.0
+
