This commit completes the migration of the backend service from a Node.js/Express application to an ASP.NET Core 8 Minimal API.
- Re-implemented all API endpoints in C# for improved performance and type safety.
- Updated the Gitea Actions workflow to use the `setup-dotnet` action, `dotnet publish` for building, and now caches NuGet packages.
- Modified the deployment to create an `appsettings.Production.json` file from Gitea secrets instead of a `.env` file.
- Updated the PM2 ecosystem configuration to run the application using the `dotnet` interpreter.
