+## [2.9.1] - 2025-08-02
+
+### Fixed
+- **Fixed Collection Validation**: Fixed critical issue where AI agents created invalid fixedCollection structures causing "propertyValues[itemName] is not iterable" error (fixes #90)
+  - Created generic `FixedCollectionValidator` utility class that handles 12 different node types
+  - Validates and auto-fixes common AI-generated patterns for Switch, If, Filter nodes
+  - Extended support to Summarize, Compare Datasets, Sort, Aggregate, Set, HTML, HTTP Request, and Airtable nodes
+  - Added comprehensive test coverage with 19 tests for all affected node types
+  - Provides clear error messages and automatic structure corrections
+- **TypeScript Type Safety**: Improved type safety in fixed collection validator
+  - Replaced all `any` types with proper TypeScript types (`NodeConfig`, `NodeConfigValue`)
+  - Added type guards for safe property access
+  - Fixed potential memory leak in `getAllPatterns` by creating deep copies
+  - Added circular reference protection using `WeakSet` in structure traversal
+- **Node Type Normalization**: Fixed inconsistent node type casing
+  - Normalized `compareDatasets` to `comparedatasets` and `httpRequest` to `httprequest`
+  - Ensures consistent node type handling across all validation tools
+  - Maintains backward compatibility with existing workflows
+
+### Enhanced
+- **Code Review Improvements**: Addressed all code review feedback
+  - Made output keys deterministic by removing `Math.random()` usage
+  - Improved error handling with comprehensive null/undefined/array checks
+  - Enhanced memory safety with proper object cloning
+  - Added protection against circular references in configuration objects
+
+### Testing
+- **Comprehensive Test Coverage**: Added extensive tests for fixedCollection validation
+  - 19 tests covering all 12 affected node types
+  - Tests for edge cases including empty configs, non-object values, and circular references
+  - Real-world AI agent pattern tests based on actual ChatGPT/Claude generated configs
+  - Version compatibility tests across all validation profiles
+  - TypeScript compilation tests ensuring type safety

+## Docker Build Changes (v2.9.2+)
+
+Starting with version 2.9.2, we use a single optimized Dockerfile for all deployments:
+- The previous `Dockerfile.n8n` has been removed as redundant
+- N8N_MODE functionality is enabled via the `N8N_MODE=true` environment variable
+- This reduces image size by 500MB+ and improves build times from 8+ minutes to 1-2 minutes
+- All examples now use the standard `Dockerfile`
+

 ## Troubleshooting
 
+### Common Configuration Issues
+
+**Missing `MCP_MODE=http` Environment Variable**
+- **Symptom**: n8n MCP Client Tool cannot connect, server doesn't respond on `/mcp` endpoint
+- **Solution**: Add `MCP_MODE=http` to your environment variables
+- **Why**: Without this, the server runs in stdio mode which is incompatible with n8n
+
+**Server URL Missing `/mcp` Endpoint**
+- **Symptom**: "Connection refused" or "Invalid response" in n8n MCP Client Tool
+- **Solution**: Ensure your Server URL includes `/mcp` (e.g., `http://localhost:3000/mcp`)
+- **Why**: n8n connects to the `/mcp` endpoint specifically, not the root URL
+
+**Mismatched Auth Tokens**
+- **Symptom**: "Authentication failed" or "Invalid auth token"
+- **Solution**: Ensure both `MCP_AUTH_TOKEN` and `AUTH_TOKEN` have the same value
+- **Why**: Both variables must match for proper authentication
+
 ### Connection Issues
 
 **"Connection refused" in n8n MCP Client Tool**
-- Check n8n-MCP is running: `docker ps` or `systemctl status n8n-mcp`
+1. **Check n8n-MCP is running**:
-- Verify port is accessible: `curl http://your-server:3000/health`
+   ```bash
-- Check firewall rules allow port 3000
+   # Docker
+   docker ps | grep n8n-mcp
+   docker logs n8n-mcp --tail 20
    
-**"Invalid auth token"**
+   # Systemd
-- Ensure MCP_AUTH_TOKEN matches exactly (no extra spaces)
+   systemctl status n8n-mcp
-- Token must be at least 32 characters long
+   journalctl -u n8n-mcp --tail 20
-- Check for special characters that might need escaping
+   ```
+
+2. **Verify endpoints are accessible**:
+   ```bash
+   # Health check (should return status info)
+   curl http://your-server:3000/health
+   
+   # MCP endpoint (should return protocol version)
+   curl http://your-server:3000/mcp
+   ```
+
+3. **Check firewall and networking**:
+   ```bash
+   # Test port accessibility from n8n server
+   telnet your-mcp-server 3000
+   
+   # Check firewall rules (Ubuntu/Debian)
+   sudo ufw status
+   
+   # Check if port is bound correctly
+   netstat -tlnp | grep :3000
+   ```
+
+**"Invalid auth token" or "Authentication failed"**
+1. **Verify token format**:
+   ```bash
+   # Check token length (should be 64 chars for hex-32)
+   echo $MCP_AUTH_TOKEN | wc -c
+   
+   # Verify both tokens match
+   echo "MCP_AUTH_TOKEN: $MCP_AUTH_TOKEN"
+   echo "AUTH_TOKEN: $AUTH_TOKEN"
+   ```
+
+2. **Common token issues**:
+   - Token too short (minimum 32 characters)
+   - Extra whitespace or newlines in token
+   - Different values for `MCP_AUTH_TOKEN` and `AUTH_TOKEN`
+   - Special characters not properly escaped in environment files
 
 **"Cannot connect to n8n API"**
-- Verify N8N_API_URL is correct (include http:// or https://)
+1. **Verify n8n configuration**:
-- Check n8n API key is valid and has necessary permissions
+   ```bash
-- Ensure n8n instance is accessible from n8n-MCP server
+   # Test n8n API accessibility
+   curl -H "X-N8N-API-KEY: your-api-key" \
+        https://your-n8n-instance.com/api/v1/workflows
+   ```
 
-### Protocol Issues
+2. **Common n8n API issues**:
+   - `N8N_API_URL` missing protocol (http:// or https://)
+   - n8n API key expired or invalid
+   - n8n instance not accessible from n8n-MCP server
+   - n8n API disabled in settings
+
+### Version Compatibility Issues
+
+**"Outdated Docker Image"**
+- **Symptom**: Missing features, old bugs, or compatibility issues
+- **Solution**: Build from source instead of using pre-built images
+- **Check**: Compare your image version with [GitHub releases](https://github.com/czlonkowski/n8n-mcp/releases)
 
 **"Protocol version mismatch"**
-- n8n-MCP automatically uses version 2024-11-05 for n8n
+- n8n-MCP automatically uses version 2024-11-05 for n8n compatibility
 - Update to latest n8n-MCP version if issues persist
-- Check `/mcp` endpoint returns correct version
+- Verify `/mcp` endpoint returns correct version
 
-**"Schema validation errors"**
+### Environment Variable Issues
-- Known issue with n8n's nested output handling
-- n8n-MCP includes workarounds
-- Enable debug mode to see detailed errors
 
-### Debugging
+**Complete Environment Variable Checklist**:
-
-1. **Enable debug mode**:
 ```bash
+# Required for all deployments
+export N8N_MODE=true                                    # Enables n8n integration
+export MCP_MODE=http                                   # Enables HTTP mode for n8n
+export MCP_AUTH_TOKEN=your-secure-32-char-token       # Auth token
+export AUTH_TOKEN=your-secure-32-char-token           # Same value as MCP_AUTH_TOKEN
+
+# Required for workflow management features
+export N8N_API_URL=https://your-n8n-instance.com      # Your n8n URL
+export N8N_API_KEY=your-n8n-api-key                   # Your n8n API key
+
+# Optional
+export PORT=3000                                       # HTTP port (default: 3000)
+export LOG_LEVEL=info                                  # Logging level
+```
+
+### Docker-Specific Issues
+
+**Container Build Failures**
+```bash
+# Clear Docker cache and rebuild
+docker system prune -f
+docker build --no-cache -t n8n-mcp:latest .
+```
+
+**Container Runtime Issues**
+```bash
+# Check container logs for detailed errors
+docker logs n8n-mcp -f --timestamps
+
+# Inspect container environment
+docker exec n8n-mcp env | grep -E "(N8N|MCP|AUTH)"
+
+# Test container connectivity
+docker exec n8n-mcp curl -f http://localhost:3000/health
+```
+
+### Network and SSL Issues
+
+**HTTPS/SSL Problems**
+```bash
+# Test SSL certificate
+openssl s_client -connect mcp.yourdomain.com:443
+
+# Check Caddy logs
+docker logs caddy -f --tail 50
+```
+
+**Docker Network Issues**
+```bash
+# Check if containers can communicate
+docker network ls
+docker network inspect bridge
+
+# Test inter-container connectivity
+docker exec n8n curl http://n8n-mcp:3000/health
+```
+
+### Debugging Steps
+
+1. **Enable comprehensive logging**:
+```bash
+# For Docker
 docker run -d \
   --name n8n-mcp \
   -e DEBUG_MCP=true \
   -e LOG_LEVEL=debug \
+  -e N8N_MODE=true \
+  -e MCP_MODE=http \
   # ... other settings
+
+# For systemd, add to service file:
+Environment="DEBUG_MCP=true"
+Environment="LOG_LEVEL=debug"
 ```
 
-2. **Check logs**:
+2. **Test all endpoints systematically**:
 ```bash
-# Docker
+# 1. Health check (basic server functionality)
-docker logs n8n-mcp -f --tail 100
+curl -v http://localhost:3000/health
 
-# Systemd
+# 2. MCP protocol endpoint (what n8n connects to)
-journalctl -u n8n-mcp -f
+curl -v http://localhost:3000/mcp
-```
 
-3. **Test endpoints**:
+# 3. Test authentication (if working, returns tools list)
-```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/mcp \
-# Health check
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN" \
-curl http://localhost:3000/health
-
-# Protocol version
-curl http://localhost:3000/mcp
-
-# List tools (requires auth)
-curl -X POST http://localhost:3000 \
-  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_MCP_AUTH_TOKEN" \
   -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
   -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"tools/list","id":1}'
+
+# 4. Test a simple tool (documentation only, no n8n API needed)
+curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/mcp \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"get_database_statistics","arguments":{}},"id":2}'
 ```
 
+3. **Common log patterns to look for**:
+```bash
+# Success patterns
+grep "Server started" /var/log/n8n-mcp.log
+grep "Protocol version" /var/log/n8n-mcp.log
+
+# Error patterns
+grep -i "error\|failed\|invalid" /var/log/n8n-mcp.log
+grep -i "auth\|token" /var/log/n8n-mcp.log
+grep -i "connection\|network" /var/log/n8n-mcp.log
+```
+
+### Getting Help
+
+If you're still experiencing issues:
+
+1. **Gather diagnostic information**:
+```bash
+# System info
+docker --version
+docker-compose --version
+uname -a
+
+# n8n-MCP version
+docker exec n8n-mcp node dist/index.js --version
+
+# Environment check
+docker exec n8n-mcp env | grep -E "(N8N|MCP|AUTH)" | sort
+
+# Container status
+docker ps | grep n8n-mcp
+docker stats n8n-mcp --no-stream
+```
+
+2. **Create a minimal test setup**:
+```bash
+# Test with minimal configuration
+docker run -d \
+  --name n8n-mcp-test \
+  -p 3001:3000 \
+  -e N8N_MODE=true \
+  -e MCP_MODE=http \
+  -e MCP_AUTH_TOKEN=test-token-minimum-32-chars-long \
+  -e AUTH_TOKEN=test-token-minimum-32-chars-long \
+  -e LOG_LEVEL=debug \
+  n8n-mcp:latest
+
+# Test basic functionality
+curl http://localhost:3001/health
+curl http://localhost:3001/mcp
+```
+
+3. **Report issues**: Include the diagnostic information when opening an issue on [GitHub](https://github.com/czlonkowski/n8n-mcp/issues)
