Major cleanup and optimization: Remove unused dependencies, clean build artifacts, and improve project structure

- Remove 7 unused dependencies: apt-pkg-native, pkg-config, walkdir, lazy_static, futures, async-trait, cap-std
- Delete dead code: Remove unused parallel.rs module
- Clean build artifacts: Remove debian/cargo/, debian/.debhelper/, and other build files
- Update .gitignore: Comprehensive patterns for build artifacts, test files, and temporary files
- Move documentation: Relocate project docs to docs/ directory
- Remove test artifacts: Clean up test files and package archives
- Update Cargo.toml: Streamline dependencies and remove unused features
- Verify build: Ensure project still compiles after cleanup

This commit significantly reduces project size and improves build efficiency.

+This file tracks changes made during development sessions. After each git commit, this file is cleared to start fresh.
+
+## Commands Enhanced
+- `shlib-backend` - Added real logic for shared library backend operations
+- `internals` - Enhanced with comprehensive system diagnostics and health checks
+- `apply-live` - Completed implementation for live system updates
+- `testutils` - Completed synthetic data generation and testing utilities
+
+## Features Added
+- Daemon functionality completed (DBus interface, transaction management, APT operations)
+- APT integration analysis completed (hardiness check)
+- APT tool blocking implementation guide created for debian-atomic project
+
+## Technical Improvements
+- Removed unused `apt-pkg-native` dependency from Cargo.toml
+- Verified all APT operations use command-line tools for reliability
+- Created comprehensive APT blocking implementation documentation
+- **Comprehensive .gitignore cleanup** - Added patterns for all build artifacts and test files
+- **Removed tracked build artifacts** - Cleaned up debian/cargo/, debian/.debhelper/, and package files
+
+## Files Modified
+- `src/daemon/dbus_new.rs` - Completed all DBus interface methods
+- `src/commands/shlib_backend.rs` - Added real implementation
+- `src/commands/internals.rs` - Enhanced with real system diagnostics
+- `src/commands/apply_live.rs` - Completed implementation
+- `src/commands/testutils.rs` - Completed implementation
+- `Cargo.toml` - Cleaned up unused dependencies
+- `apt-hardiness-report.md` - Created comprehensive APT integration report
+- `apt-tool-blocking-implementation.md` - Created implementation guide for debian-atomic
+- `.gitignore` - **COMPLETELY OVERHAULED** - Added comprehensive patterns for all build artifacts
+
+## Major Milestone Achieved
+- **Daemon Implementation Completed** ✅
+  - All DBus interface methods implemented
+  - Real transaction management working
+  - Real APT operations functional
+  - Client management system operational
+  - Update detection and configuration reload working
+
+## APT Integration Analysis Completed
+- **APT Hardiness Check** ✅
+  - Analyzed all APT-related commands and functionality
+  - Verified command-line approach is superior to library bindings
+  - Discovered `apt-pkg-native` was never actually used
+  - Confirmed hybrid command-line approach is optimal
+  - Created comprehensive report documenting findings
+
+## APT Tool Blocking Implementation Guide
+- **Created comprehensive guide** for debian-atomic project
+  - Explains how to block traditional APT tools on atomic systems
+  - Provides wrapper script implementations
+  - Details integration with deb-bootc-compose
+  - Includes testing and troubleshooting procedures
+  - Based on ublue-os DNF/YUM blocking approach
+
+## Unused Dependency Cleanup
+- **Removed `apt-pkg-native` dependency** from Cargo.toml
+- **Verified build still works** without the dependency
+- **Updated documentation** to reflect command-line APT integration approach
+- **Removed 6 additional unused dependencies**:
+  - `pkg-config` (both dependencies and build-dependencies)
+  - `walkdir` (file system operations)
+  - `lazy_static` (lazy initialization)
+  - `futures` (async utilities)
+  - `async-trait` (async trait support)
+  - `cap-std` and `cap-std-ext` (capability-based operations)
+- **Removed dead code** - deleted unused `parallel.rs` module
+- **Build verified working** after cleanup
+
+## Git Repository Cleanup
+- **Comprehensive .gitignore overhaul** ✅
+  - Added patterns for all Debian build artifacts (*.deb, debian/.debhelper/, debian/cargo/)
+  - Added patterns for package archives (*.tar, *.tar.gz, *.zip)
+  - Added patterns for test artifacts and build stamps
+  - Added patterns for environment and local configuration files
+- **Removed tracked build artifacts** ✅
+  - Cleaned up `debian/cargo/` (hundreds of build files)
+  - Cleaned up `debian/.debhelper/` (build helper files)
+  - Removed `quay.io_example_debian_latest.tar` (unclear purpose)
+  - Repository now properly ignores all build artifacts
+
+## Usage Instructions
+1. **Track changes** during development sessions
+2. **Copy relevant sections** to git commit messages
+3. **Run `./clear-changelog.sh`** after committing to reset for next session
+
