MLX framework only supports Apple Silicon (ARM64) Macs, not Intel x86_64.
Add platform_machine == 'arm64' condition to prevent installation failures
on Intel Macs (macos-13).
Remove the strict=False parameter from zip() call in api.py as it was
introduced in Python 3.10 and causes "TypeError: zip() takes no keyword
arguments" in Python 3.9.
The strict parameter controls whether zip() raises an exception when the
iterables have different lengths. Since we're not relying on this behavior
and the code works correctly without it, removing it maintains the same
functionality while ensuring Python 3.9 compatibility.

Fix remaining Python 3.9 incompatible type annotations in backend packages
that were causing test failures. The union operator (|) syntax for type hints
was introduced in Python 3.10 and causes "TypeError: unsupported operand
type(s) for |" errors in Python 3.9.
Changes in leann-backend-diskann:
- Convert zmq_port: int | None to Optional[int] in diskann_backend.py
- Convert passages_file: str | None to Optional[str] in diskann_embedding_server.py
- Add Optional imports to both files
Changes in leann-backend-hnsw:
- Convert zmq_port: int | None to Optional[int] in hnsw_backend.py
- Add Optional import
This resolves the final test failures related to type annotation syntax and
ensures full Python 3.9 compatibility across all packages.

Fix remaining Python 3.9 incompatible type annotations throughout the
leann-core package that were causing test failures in CI. The union operator
(|) syntax for type hints was introduced in Python 3.10 and causes
"TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for |" errors in Python 3.9.
Changes:

* remove leann_index from MCP interface
Users should use CLI command 'leann build' to create indexes first.
MCP now only provides search functionality:
- leann_search: search existing indexes
- leann_status: check index health
- leann_list: list available indexes
This separates index creation (CLI) from search (Claude Code).

* improve CLI with auto project name and .gitignore support
- Make index_name optional, auto-use current directory name

- Apply exclusion patterns to both PDF and general file processing
- Show helpful messages about gitignore usage
Now users can simply run: leann build
And it will use project name + respect .gitignore patterns.
