Subject: [PATCH] feat: implement production-ready MUC operations and
 comprehensive testing
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Implement proper XMPP MUC operations using mellium.im/xmpp/muc package
- Add session readiness checking to prevent blocking on room joins
- Create comprehensive bridge manager architecture with lifecycle management
- Add complete channel mapping functionality with KV store persistence
- Remove defensive logger nil checks as requested by user
- Enhance XMPP client doctor with MUC testing (join/wait/leave workflow)
- Add detailed dev server documentation for test room creation
- Implement timeout protection for all MUC operations
- Add proper error handling with fmt.Errorf instead of pkg/errors
- Successfully tested: MUC join in ~21ms, 5s wait, clean leave operation
