feat: Implement Worker Service v2 with improved architecture

- Complete rewrite of the Worker Service following object-oriented principles. - Introduced a single long-lived database connection to reduce overhead. - Implemented event-driven queues to eliminate polling. - Added DRY utilities for pagination and settings management. - Reduced code size significantly from 1173 lines to approximately 600-700 lines. - Created various composed services including DatabaseManager, SessionManager, and SDKAgent. - Enhanced SSE broadcasting capabilities for real-time client updates. - Established a structured approach for session lifecycle management and event handling. - Introduced type safety with shared TypeScript interfaces for better maintainability.
