v0.23.0

Breaking Changes

• Stable device IDs — Physical Matter devices now use hash-based IDs derived from hardware UniqueID (e.g. dev_a3f7c1b2) instead of dev_{node_id}_{endpoint_id}. Existing cache keys (names, occupancy history) are auto-migrated on first run. External systems referencing old-format IDs will need to update — alias-based references are unaffected.

New Features

• --fabric option — Set the Matter fabric label at startup: matter-srv --fabric "Home Lab"

Improvements

• Codebase refactor — Extracted shared helpers to reduce code duplication across all source files:
  • Unified GET/POST parameter parsing (_get_params)
  • Shared device lookup functions (_find_device_state, _find_logical_target)
  • Reusable light/sensor payload builders (_build_light_entry, _build_sensor_entry)
  • Generic JSON cache helpers (_load_json, _save_json) replacing 6 separate methods
• Logical bridge client — Stores host/port directly instead of parsing from URL string
• README rewrite — Cleaner language, CLI options table, parameter tables for all endpoints, collapsible metadata example, sudo usage note
