- Deleted COMMANDS.md, DOCKER.md, WEB_VIEWER.md, and other related documentation files to streamline the project structure.
- Updated README.md and other documentation references to point to the new locations of the command and Docker instructions.
- Added optional dependencies for documentation generation in pyproject.toml.
- Added '*.key' to .gitignore to prevent tracking of key files.
- Changed the default database path in config.ini.example from 'bot_data.db' to 'meshcore_bot.db' for clarity.
- Enhanced documentation files with front matter for better rendering and organization, including Discord Bridge, Feed Management, Map Uploader, Packet Capture, Path Command Configuration, Repeater Management Commands, and Weather Service.
- Added new configuration options for path selection presets and proximity methods in config.ini.example, allowing users to customize routing behavior.
- Implemented a new database table for storing observed paths, enabling better tracking of paths from advertisements and messages.
- Updated MessageHandler to store complete paths in the observed_paths table, improving path validation and selection accuracy.
- Enhanced the PathCommand class to utilize new proximity and recency settings, optimizing repeater selection based on user-defined criteria.
- Improved web viewer functionality to display multiple paths for contacts, enhancing user experience and interaction with path data.
- Introduced a new section in `config.ini.example` for the Discord bridge service, including options for enabling the service and configuring avatar styles and channel mappings.
