The PR is good to merge with a few suggestions for addressing technical debt:

---

1. Code Modularization

• Break down large functions into smaller, more manageable pieces. For instance, the run method in metadata/push.py could be refactored into several helper methods for improved clarity and maintainability.
• Consider splitting the cmflib/cmf_server.py file into multiple smaller files or a dedicated folder structure. For example, methods like log_model_with_version and log_execution_metrics_from_client could be moved to a separate logs file.

2. Type Annotations

• Adding type annotations to function signatures would improve the readability and maintainability of the code, as well as facilitate better type checking.

3. Logging

• Replace print statements with proper logging functionality. This would enhance the ability to track and debug issues in a production environment.
