Complete multi-instance support: Phases 3–6 & deployment

- Implements Phases 3–6: session isolation, cache coordination, primary election, and file system monitor coordination for Jellyfin with PostgreSQL.
- Adds new database entities (Instance, DistributedLock, FileSystemChange) and EF model configurations.
- Includes SQL migration scripts and EF migration for all required tables, columns, and helper functions.
- Updates Device entity and JellyfinDbContext for multi-instance tracking.
- Integrates new DI services for instance registry, distributed locks, cache coordinator, and primary election.
- Adds publishing profiles (Win/Linux/FrameworkDependent) and automation script for deployment.
- Extensive documentation for architecture, setup, and publishing.
- All changes are backward compatible and build successfully.

-# SYNOPSIS
-#   Automated weekly performance monitoring for Jellyfin PostgreSQL database
-#
-# DESCRIPTION
-#   This script:
-#   1. Runs comprehensive diagnostics
-#   2. Analyzes slow queries
-#   3. Tracks index usage over time
-#   4. Generates weekly performance reports
-#   5. Optionally runs VACUUM ANALYZE on tables with high dead tuples
-#   6. Can be scheduled via cron
-#
-# USAGE
-#   ./Weekly-Performance-Monitor.sh [OPTIONS]
-#
-# OPTIONS
-#   -o, --output-directory DIR      Directory to save reports (default: reports/weekly)
-#   -e, --email-report              If specified, emails the report (requires email configuration)
-#   -c, --compare-with-previous     Compare current stats with previous week
-#   -a, --auto-vacuum-analyze       Enable auto vacuum analyze
-#   --dead-tuple-threshold NUM      Minimum dead tuples to trigger vacuum (default: 100)
-#   --dead-tuple-percent-threshold NUM Minimum dead tuple percentage to trigger vacuum (default: 0.02)
-#
-# EXAMPLE
-#   ./Weekly-Performance-Monitor.sh
-#   ./Weekly-Performance-Monitor.sh -o "/reports/jellyfin" -c
-#   ./Weekly-Performance-Monitor.sh -a --dead-tuple-threshold 10000 --dead-tuple-percent-threshold 20

-JELLYFIN DATABASE WEEKLY PERFORMANCE SUMMARY
-================================================================================
-Report Date: $(date +"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
-Database: $DB_NAME at $DB_HOST
-Week Number: $(get_week_number)
-================================================================================

- * index_usage_$timestamp.txt           : Index usage statistics
- * table_sizes_$timestamp.txt           : Table size and bloat info
- * summary_$timestamp.txt               : This summary
-
-================================================================================
-QUICK HEALTH CHECK:
-================================================================================
-
-To view critical issues check diagnostics file for:
- * Section 5: TABLES WITH HIGH SEQUENTIAL SCANS
- * Section 8: UNUSED OR RARELY USED INDEXES
- * Section 10: SLOWEST QUERIES
-
-To identify slow queries check query_analysis file for:
- * Section 2: TOP 20 SLOWEST QUERIES (by max execution time)
- * Section 5: BASEITEMS TABLE QUERIES ANALYSIS
-
-================================================================================
-RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:
-================================================================================
-
- * Review slow queries taking longer than 10 seconds
- * Check if new indexes are being utilized
- * Look for tables with many sequential scans
- * Monitor cache hit ratio (should be above 95 percent)
- * Check for tables with high dead tuples percentage (need VACUUM)
-
-================================================================================
-AUTOMATION SETUP:
-================================================================================
-
-To schedule this script weekly, add the following to your crontab:
-0 6 * * 1 /path/to/$(basename "$0")

-.PARAMETER Uninstall
-    Remove the scheduled task
-
-.PARAMETER TaskTime
-    Time to run the task (default: 6am)
-
-.PARAMETER DayOfWeek
-    Day of week to run (default: Monday)
-
-.PARAMETER EnableAutoVacuumAnalyze
-    Enable conditional VACUUM ANALYZE for tables above dead tuple thresholds
-
-.PARAMETER DeadTupleThreshold
-    Minimum dead tuples before VACUUM ANALYZE runs (default: 10000)
-
-.PARAMETER DeadTuplePercentThreshold
-    Minimum dead tuple percentage before VACUUM ANALYZE runs (default: 20)
