Introduced webhook event publishing to push music-state updates to a configured endpoint. Implemented `WebhookDispatcher` and `NoopEventPublisher` for dispatching events asynchronously or disabling them when no URL is set. Added handling of events like track start/end, queue updates, volume changes, and voice connection changes, enhancing integration with external systems.
Migrated issue reporting functionality from GitLab to Gitea. Updated environment variables, dependencies, and configuration references to support Gitea. Introduced `GiteaClient` for communication with the Gitea API and refactored related code and tests to align with the new integration.
Integrated OpenAPI and Swagger plugins for comprehensive API documentation. Added new routes, including settings management (`/settings/*`), guild metadata endpoints (`/guilds/*`), and detailed action status handling. Updated database schema to support guild metadata persistence, revised command subcommand handling for better modularity, and enhanced API key-based authentication for all routes.
Replaced the bot's audio handling system by removing Lavaplayer dependencies and migrating to a Lavalink v4 node. Updated `MusicManager`, `TrackScheduler`, and related classes to utilize the `LavalinkClient`. Refactored playlist and track loading logic, task integrations, and event dispatch to integrate with the remote node. Deprecated the custom Udio source, preserving references for a future plugin port. Documented configuration and deployment details for the new audio architecture.
