-> Migrating this project from Firebase to Hugging Face for more storage, and moving the backend from Render to Hugging Face too — one platform, easier to maintain and secure. The extra storage will be used to save images, voice messages, and other media that Baileys can capture. Also upgrading frontend security while I'm at it.
