 ### Type System Standards
 
 **Core Principles:**
-- Use `typing` module annotations for Python 3.8+ compatibility
+- Use `typing` module annotations for Python 3.9+ compatibility
 - Prefer `dataclasses` over plain classes for data structures
 - Use `Optional` for nullable fields
 - Use `Union` sparingly, prefer specific types
