Migration from Docker to Standalone Python Server (#73)

* Migration from docker to standalone server
Migration handling
Fixed tests
Use simpler in-memory storage
Support for concurrent logging to disk
Simplified direct connections to localhost

* Migration from docker / redis to standalone script
Updated tests
Updated run script
Fixed requirements
Use dotenv
Ask if user would like to install MCP in Claude Desktop once
Updated docs

* More cleanup and references to docker removed

* Cleanup

* Comments

* Fixed tests

* Fix GitHub Actions workflow for standalone Python architecture

- Install requirements-dev.txt for pytest and testing dependencies
- Remove Docker setup from simulation tests (now standalone)
- Simplify linting job to use requirements-dev.txt
- Update simulation tests to run directly without Docker

Fixes unit test failures in CI due to missing pytest dependency.

* Remove simulation tests from GitHub Actions

- Removed simulation-tests job that makes real API calls
- Keep only unit tests (mocked, no API costs) and linting
- Simulation tests should be run manually with real API keys
- Reduces CI costs and complexity

GitHub Actions now only runs:
- Unit tests (569 tests, all mocked)
- Code quality checks (ruff, black)

 ## Important Notes
 
-**Docker Networking:**
-- Always use `host.docker.internal` instead of `localhost` for custom APIs
-- The server runs in Docker and cannot access `localhost` directly
+**Local Networking:**
+- Use standard localhost URLs for local models
+- The server runs as a native Python process
 
 **API Key Priority:**
 - Native APIs take priority over OpenRouter when both are configured
