Why This Fix Works in Production

Trigger: Inconsistent TS.INFO content
Mechanism: Adds support for TIMESERIES 1.8 and includes changes to ensure consistent naming conventions in the TS.INFO content.
Why the fix works: Adds support for TIMESERIES 1.8 and includes changes to ensure consistent naming conventions in the TS.INFO content. (first fixed release: 7.1.0).

Production impact:

If left unfixed, the same config can fail only in production (env differences), causing startup failures or partial feature outages.

Why This Breaks in Prod

Shows up under Python 3.8 in real deployments (not just unit tests).
