🗄️ Add SQLite database system with JSON fallback and memory controls

Implement configurable database backends (SQLite/JSON) with unified memory
management, automated migration, Docker support, and privacy controls.
Maintains full backward compatibility while enabling future PostgreSQL/ChromaDB.

+# Database System Migration Guide
+
+## Overview
+
+The Discord bot now supports multiple database backends for storing user profiles and conversation memory:
+
+- **SQLite**: Fast, reliable, file-based database (recommended)
+- **JSON**: Original file-based storage (backward compatible)
+- **Memory Toggle**: Option to completely disable memory features
+
+## Configuration
+
+Edit `src/settings.yml` to configure the database system:
+
+```yaml
+database:
+  backend: "sqlite"  # Options: "sqlite" or "json"
+  sqlite_path: "data/bot_database.db"
+  json_user_profiles: "user_profiles.json"
+  json_memory_data: "memory.json"
+  memory_enabled: true  # Set to false to disable memory completely
+```
+
+## Migration from JSON
+
+If you're upgrading from the old JSON-based system:
+
+1. **Run the migration script:**
+   ```bash
+   python migrate_to_database.py
+   ```
+
+2. **What the script does:**
+   - Migrates existing `user_profiles.json` to the database
+   - Migrates existing `memory.json` to the database
+   - Creates backups of original files
+   - Verifies the migration was successful
+
+3. **After migration:**
+   - Your old JSON files are safely backed up
+   - The bot will use the new database system
+   - All existing data is preserved
+
+## Backend Comparison
+
+### SQLite Backend (Recommended)
+- **Pros:** Fast, reliable, concurrent access, data integrity
+- **Cons:** Requires SQLite (included with Python)
+- **Use case:** Production bots, multiple users, long-term storage
+
+### JSON Backend
+- **Pros:** Human-readable, easy to backup/edit manually
+- **Cons:** Slower, potential data loss on concurrent access
+- **Use case:** Development, single-user bots, debugging
+
+## Database Schema
+
+### User Profiles Table
+- `user_id` (TEXT PRIMARY KEY)
+- `profile_data` (JSON)
+- `created_at` (TIMESTAMP)
+- `updated_at` (TIMESTAMP)
+
+### Conversation Memory Table
+- `id` (INTEGER PRIMARY KEY)
+- `channel_id` (TEXT)
+- `user_id` (TEXT)
+- `content` (TEXT)
+- `context` (TEXT)
+- `importance_score` (REAL)
+- `timestamp` (TIMESTAMP)
+
+### User Memory Table
+- `id` (INTEGER PRIMARY KEY)
+- `user_id` (TEXT)
+- `memory_type` (TEXT)
+- `content` (TEXT)
+- `importance_score` (REAL)
+- `timestamp` (TIMESTAMP)
+
+## Code Changes
+
+### New Files
+- `src/database.py` - Database abstraction layer
+- `src/memory_manager.py` - Unified memory management
+- `src/user_profiles_new.py` - Modern user profile management
+- `migrate_to_database.py` - Migration script
+
+### Updated Files
+- `src/enhanced_ai.py` - Uses new memory manager
+- `src/bot.py` - Updated memory command imports
+- `src/settings.yml` - Added database configuration
+- `src/memory.py` - Marked as deprecated
+
+## API Reference
+
+### Memory Manager
+```python
+from memory_manager import memory_manager
+
+# Store a message in memory
+memory_manager.analyze_and_store_message(message, context_messages)
+
+# Get conversation context
+context = memory_manager.get_conversation_context(channel_id, hours=24)
+
+# Get user context
+user_info = memory_manager.get_user_context(user_id)
+
+# Format memory for AI prompts
+memory_text = memory_manager.format_memory_for_prompt(user_id, channel_id)
+
+# Check if memory is enabled
+if memory_manager.is_enabled():
+    # Memory operations
+    pass
+```
+
+### Database Manager
+```python
+from database import db_manager
+
+# User profiles
+profile = db_manager.get_user_profile(user_id)
+db_manager.store_user_profile(user_id, profile_data)
+
+# Memory storage (if enabled)
+db_manager.store_conversation_memory(channel_id, user_id, content, context, score)
+db_manager.store_user_memory(user_id, memory_type, content, score)
+
+# Retrieval
+conversations = db_manager.get_conversation_context(channel_id, hours=24)
+user_memories = db_manager.get_user_context(user_id)
+
+# Cleanup
+db_manager.cleanup_old_memories(days=30)
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Migration Issues
+- **File not found errors:** Ensure you're running from the bot root directory
+- **Permission errors:** Check file permissions and disk space
+- **Data corruption:** Restore from backup and try again
+
+### Runtime Issues
+- **SQLite locked:** Another process may be using the database
+- **Memory disabled:** Check `memory_enabled` setting in `settings.yml`
+- **Import errors:** Ensure all new files are in the `src/` directory
+
+### Performance
+- **Slow queries:** SQLite performs much better than JSON for large datasets
+- **Memory usage:** SQLite is more memory-efficient than loading entire JSON files
+- **Concurrent access:** Only SQLite supports safe concurrent access
+
+## Backup and Recovery
+
+### Automatic Backups
+- Migration script creates timestamped backups
+- Original JSON files are preserved
+
+### Manual Backup
+```bash
+# SQLite database
+cp src/data/bot_database.db src/data/bot_database.db.backup
+
+# JSON files (if using JSON backend)
+cp src/user_profiles.json src/user_profiles.json.backup
+cp src/memory.json src/memory.json.backup
+```
+
+### Recovery
+1. Stop the bot
+2. Replace corrupted database with backup
+3. Restart the bot
+4. Run migration again if needed
+
+## Future Extensions
+
+The database abstraction layer is designed to support additional backends:
+
+- **PostgreSQL**: For large-scale deployments
+- **ChromaDB**: For advanced semantic memory search
+- **Redis**: For high-performance caching
+
+These can be added by implementing the `DatabaseBackend` interface in `database.py`.
