Refactor WebSocket server to use event-driven architecture with message queues #604

Description

@Smartdevs17

Context

The WebSocket server needs decoupling from business logic using event-driven patterns.

Current Limitation

WebSocket handlers contain business logic directly.

Expected Outcome

  • Event-driven WebSocket architecture
  • Message queue for event distribution
  • Connection pooling and scaling
  • Event replay for missed messages

Acceptance Criteria

  • Event-driven architecture with pub/sub
  • Redis pub/sub for multi-instance scaling
  • Connection pooling with heartbeat
  • Event replay for reconnection
  • Message buffering for slow clients
  • WebSocket authentication middleware
  • Load testing for 10K+ connections

Technical Scope

  • backend/src/websocket/ - WebSocket server
  • backend/src/events/ - Event bus
  • backend/src/services/queue.ts - Message queue
  • frontend/store/ - WebSocket client state
