refactor: Migrate from ActivityPub federation to native Swarm network

- Remove ActivityPub infrastructure (webfinger, nodeinfo, inbox, activities, signatures)
- Implement native peer-to-peer Swarm network with gossip protocol
- Replace federated timeline with Swarm timeline aggregating posts from all nodes
- Migrate direct messaging to end-to-end encrypted Swarm Chat system
- Update user interactions (follow, like, repost) to use Swarm protocol
- Add cryptographic key management for DID-based identity system
- Remove server-bound identity model in favor of portable DID identities
- Update documentation to reflect Swarm architecture and capabilities
- Add debug utilities and chat testing tools for Swarm network
- Refactor database schema to support distributed user directory
- Update bot framework to work with Swarm network interactions
- Simplify API routes to use Swarm protocol instead of ActivityPub
- This transition enables true peer-to-peer communication, instant interactions, and encrypted messaging while maintaining sovereign identity through DIDs

 # Synapsis
 
-Synapsis is an open-source, federated social network built to serve as global communication infrastructure. It is designed to be lightweight, easy to deploy, and interoperable with the broader Fediverse.
+Synapsis is an open-source, federated social network built to serve as global communication infrastructure. It is designed to be lightweight, easy to deploy, and built on the Synapsis Swarm network.
 
 ## Features
 
-- **Federation Ready**: Built with ActivityPub compatibility for cross-platform communication.
+- **Swarm Network**: Native peer-to-peer network for Synapsis nodes with gossip protocol.
+- **Swarm Chat**: End-to-end encrypted chat system built for the swarm.
 - **Decentralized Identity (DIDs)**: Portable identity system that you truly own.
+- **AI Bots**: Create and manage AI-powered bot accounts with custom personalities.
 - **Modern UI**: Clean, responsive interface inspired by Vercel's design system.
 - **Rich Media**: Support for image uploads and media galleries.
 - **Moderation**: Built-in admin dashboard for user management and content moderation.
 - **Setup Wizard**: User-friendly `/install` flow to get your node running in minutes.
-- **Curated Feeds**: Smart feed algorithms to highlight engaging content.

-### 🌐 Federation via ActivityPub
+### 🌐 The Swarm Network
 
-Synapsis is designed as a network of independent **Nodes** that communicate using the ActivityPub protocol.
+Synapsis operates on the **Swarm** — a native peer-to-peer network designed specifically for Synapsis nodes:
 
-- **Sovereign Data**: Communities run their own Synapsis nodes with their own rules.
+- **Gossip Protocol**: Nodes discover each other automatically and exchange information.
-- **Interconnectivity**: A user on *Node A* can follow and interact with a user on *Node B*.
+- **Swarm Timeline**: Aggregated feed of posts from across all Synapsis nodes.
-- **Fediverse Compatibility**: Synapsis can communicate with Mastodon, Pleroma, Misskey, and other ActivityPub platforms.
+- **Swarm Chat**: End-to-end encrypted direct messaging between users on any Synapsis node.
+- **Handle Registry**: Distributed directory of user handles across the swarm.
+- **Instant Interactions**: Likes, reposts, follows, and mentions delivered in real-time.
 
-**How it works:**
+**Swarm Features:**
-1. **WebFinger**: When you search for `@user@other-server.com`, WebFinger discovers their profile.
+- Real-time post delivery across the network
-2. **Follow Request**: Synapsis sends an ActivityPub `Follow` activity to the remote server.
+- Encrypted chat with read receipts
-3. **Content Delivery**: When they post, it's delivered to your inbox via ActivityPub.
+- Automatic node discovery and health monitoring
+- Distributed user directory
+- Cross-node interactions (likes, reposts, follows)
