• Added power and system controls (POWER, MUTE)
• Added rating controls (THUMBS_UP, THUMBS_DOWN, BOOKMARK)
• Added playback mode controls (SHUFFLE_OFF/ON, REPEAT_OFF/ONE/ALL)
• Added input controls (AUX_INPUT)
• Organized keys into logical categories for better documentation

CLI Enhancements:
• New direct command flags: -power, -mute, -thumbs-up, -thumbs-down
• Enhanced help output with categorized key listing
• Updated flag descriptions to show all available keys
• Added practical examples for new key commands

Technical Improvements:
• Updated IsValidKey() validation for all 24 keys
• Enhanced GetAllValidKeys() to return complete key set
• Comprehensive test coverage for all new key constants
• Proper error handling and validation for new commands

Real Device Testing:
• POWER command tested successfully on SoundTouch device
• MUTE command tested successfully on SoundTouch device
• All new keys follow proper press+release pattern
• Maintains backward compatibility with existing commands

Documentation Updates:
• API-Endpoints-Overview.md - Complete categorized key reference
• KEY-CONTROLS.md - Enhanced with all playback, rating, and system controls
• STATUS.md - Updated project status to reflect completed key implementation
• CLI help output shows all 24 keys with usage examples

Key Categories Implemented:
- Playback Controls (5 keys): PLAY, PAUSE, STOP, PREV_TRACK, NEXT_TRACK
- Rating Controls (3 keys): THUMBS_UP, THUMBS_DOWN, BOOKMARK
- Power/System Controls (2 keys): POWER, MUTE
- Volume Controls (2 keys): VOLUME_UP, VOLUME_DOWN
- Preset Controls (6 keys): PRESET_1 through PRESET_6
- Input Controls (1 key): AUX_INPUT
- Shuffle Controls (2 keys): SHUFFLE_OFF, SHUFFLE_ON
