Major improvements to device discovery system:
🔧 **SSDP Discovery Fixed**:
- Fixed networking issue where SSDP used connected UDP socket instead of UDP listener
- SSDP now properly receives unicast responses from multicast requests
- UPnP discovery now works reliably and finds all MediaRenderer devices
✨ **Enhanced DiscoveredDevice Model**:
- Added consistent URL fields (APIBaseURL, InfoURL) for all discovery methods
- Added protocol-specific fields (UPnPLocation, UPnPUSN, MDNSHostname, etc.)
- Added DiscoveryMethod tracking to show how devices were found
- Added device merging support for same device found via multiple protocols
🚀 **Unified Discovery Improvements**:
- Fixed device merging logic to properly combine protocol-specific data
- Discovery methods now correctly show combinations like 'Configuration+SSDP/UPnP+mDNS/Bonjour'
- Removed duplicate configuration device loading in individual services
- All three discovery methods (SSDP, mDNS, Configuration) work together seamlessly
🛠 **Updated Tools & Examples**:
- Updated soundtouch-cli to display new consistent field structure
- Enhanced all example programs with better device information display
- Added new unified discovery example demonstrating all three methods
- Fixed context timeout issues in example programs
📋 **Comprehensive Testing**:
- All tests updated and passing
- Real-world validation with actual Bose SoundTouch devices
- Confirmed discovery methods properly merge device data
Every discovered device now has consistent http://host:port/info URLs regardless
of discovery method, while preserving valuable protocol-specific metadata.
- Reference original API documentation source from Bose Corporation
- Link to official Bose SoundTouch End-of-Life page
- Clarify this is an independent implementation
- Add disclaimer about non-affiliation with Bose Corporation
- Provide both online and local documentation references
- Fix range copy issues in cmd_network.go (use indexing instead of copying 168-byte structs)
- Rename DiscoveryService to Service to avoid package name stuttering
- Update all references to use new Service constructor names
- Apply automatic whitespace fixes using golangci-lint --fix
- Reduce linting issues from 32 to 7 (only cyclomatic complexity remains)
Remaining issues are architectural complexity violations that require manual refactoring.
- Fix all errcheck issues by properly checking error return values
- Fix gocritic exitAfterDefer issues by replacing log.Fatalf with return statements
- Fix rangeValCopy issues by using index-based iteration for large structs
- Add missing package comments for all packages
- Fix unused parameter issues by renaming to underscore
- Fix empty block issues by adding explicit error handling
- Add documentation for exported methods and constants
- Fix shadow variable issues
- Replace deprecated strings.Title with manual implementation
- Fix defer function error handling
Reduced lint issues from 108 to 84 (22% improvement)
All critical error handling and code quality issues resolved
Features Added:
• mDNS/Bonjour discovery using hashicorp/mdns library
• Unified discovery service combining UPnP + mDNS + configuration
• Parallel discovery execution for optimal performance

Technical Improvements:
• Detailed request/response logging for UPnP M-SEARCH
• Step-by-step mDNS service discovery tracking
• IP address resolution with IPv4/IPv6 handling
• Service name parsing and device info extraction
• Robust error handling and network diagnostics
Backward Compatibility:
• No breaking changes to existing APIs
• All existing tests pass
• CLI interface unchanged but enhanced
• Legacy UPnP-only service still available
