Process a message from an external platform

Process external message

Ingest messages from external platforms (Discord, Telegram, etc.) into the central
messaging system. This endpoint handles messages from external sources and routes
them to the appropriate agents through the central message bus.


Ingest messages from external platforms

Submit a message to the central messaging bus for agent processing. This is the primary endpoint
for sending messages to agents, replacing the deprecated agent-specific message endpoints.

The message is submitted to a central channel and the appropriate agent(s) will process it
based on the channel and room configuration. This architecture allows for multi-agent
conversations and better message routing.

**Important**: Do not use `/api/agents/{agentId}/message` - that endpoint no longer exists.
All messages should go through this central messaging system.


Submit a message to the central messaging system

Notify the system that an agent has finished processing a message. This is used
to signal completion of agent responses and update the message state.

Stop the server

Socket.IO connection for real-time bidirectional communication. The server uses Socket.IO v4.x for WebSocket transport with automatic fallback.

**Connection URL**: `ws://localhost:3000/socket.io/` (or `wss://` for secure connections)

**Socket.IO Client Connection Example**:
```javascript
import { io } from 'socket.io-client';
const socket = io('http://localhost:3000');
```

**Events**:

### Client to Server Events:
- `join` - Join a room/channel
  ```json
  {
    "roomId": "uuid",
    "agentId": "uuid"
  }
  ```

- `leave` - Leave a room/channel
  ```json
  {
    "roomId": "uuid",
    "agentId": "uuid"
  }
  ```

- `message` - Send a message
  ```json
  {

  ```

- `request-world-state` - Request current state
  ```json
  {
    "roomId": "uuid"
  }
  ```

### Server to Client Events:
- `messageBroadcast` - New message broadcast
  ```json
  {
    "senderId": "uuid",
    "senderName": "string",

    "actions": ["string"],
    "attachments": []
  }
  ```

- `messageComplete` - Message processing complete
  ```json
  {
    "channelId": "uuid",
    "serverId": "uuid"
  }
  ```

- `world-state` - World state update
  ```json
  {
    "agents": {},
    "users": {},
    "channels": {},
    "messages": {}
  }
  ```

- `logEntry` - Real-time log entry
  ```json
  {
    "level": "number",
    "time": "timestamp",
    "msg": "string",
    "agentId": "uuid",
    "agentName": "string"
