🌐 OZ - Discord Connect v0.23.0 | JDA migration

A new version has appeared! v0.20.0 has only small changes but i included some AI agent configs for my development - as i am forced to use ai at work to develop new stuff i will use it for my hobby developments too, so i can earn more xp in using them - that doesnt mean i let them code everything

Besides that the default chat prefix and discord chat syntax have changed. They now have a the new placeholder **PH_LANGUAGE** included. If you dont like to see the players system language just remove it from your settings.

I thought it would be helpful to see the players system language in chat so everyone can react in the users native language if hes able to do so.

- feat: convert Discord chat and slash-command callbacks into immutable DTOs before server-thread dispatch

- feat: defer slash-command replies immediately and answer results on the bounded Discord transport worker

- fix: normalize all command and option names to Discord-compatible lowercase

- feat: send oversized help and banned-player results as text files
