Replace Go API with PocketBase; update docs

Remove the old Go/Mongo API (api/main.go, go.mod, go.sum, .env.example) and switch telemetry backend to PocketBase (http://db.community-scripts.org). Update documentation and flowcharts to reflect the PocketBase collection (_dev_telemetry_data), new REST endpoints (POST/PATCH/GET), field schema, and revised api.func integration (LXC/VM reporting and status updates). Misc scripts and helpers were adjusted (misc/api.func, misc/build.func, misc/error_handler.func) and a new misc/ingest.go was added. This consolidates telemetry to a hosted PocketBase instance and updates docs and integration points accordingly.

## Overview
This document describes how `api.func` integrates with other components in the Proxmox Community Scripts project, including dependencies, data flow, and API surface.
This document describes how `api.func` integrates with other components in the Proxmox Community Scripts project. The telemetry backend is **PocketBase** at `http://db.community-scripts.org`, using the `_dev_telemetry_data` collection.
## Architecture
```
Installation Scripts ──► api.func ──► PocketBase (db.community-scripts.org)
├─ POST → create record (status: "installing")
├─ PATCH → update record (status: "sucess"/"failed")
└─ GET → lookup record by random_id (fallback)
```
### Key Design Points
- **POST** creates a new telemetry record and returns a PocketBase `id`
- **PATCH** updates the existing record using that `id` (or a GET lookup by `random_id`)
- All communication is fire-and-forget — failures never block the installation
- `explain_exit_code()` is the canonical function for exit-code-to-description mapping
## Dependencies
### External Dependencies
#### Required Commands
- **`curl`**: HTTP client for API communication
- **`uuidgen`**: Generate unique identifiers (optional, can use other methods)
- **`curl`**: HTTP client for PocketBase API communication
#### Optional Commands
- **None**: No other external command dependencies
- **`uuidgen`**: Generate unique identifiers (any UUID source works)
- **`pveversion`**: Retrieve Proxmox VE version (gracefully skipped if missing)
### Internal Dependencies
#### Environment Variables from Other Scripts
- **build.func**: Provides container creation variables
- **build.func**: Provides container creation variables (`CT_TYPE`, `DISK_SIZE`, etc.)
- **vm-core.func**: Provides VM creation variables
- **core.func**: Provides system information variables
- **Installation scripts**: Provide application-specific variables
- **core.func**: Provides system information
- **Installation scripts**: Provide application-specific variables (`NSAPP`, `METHOD`)

## Error Handling Integration
### Automatic Error Reporting
- **Error Descriptions**: Provides human-readable error messages
- **API Integration**: Reports errors to community-scripts.org API
- **Error Tracking**: Tracks error patterns for project improvement
- **Diagnostic Data**: Contributes to anonymous usage analytics
### Manual Error Reporting
- **Custom Error Codes**: Use appropriate error codes for different scenarios
- **Error Context**: Provide context information for errors
- **Status Updates**: Report both success and failure cases
- **Error Analysis**: Analyze error patterns and trends
- **Error Descriptions**: `explain_exit_code()` provides human-readable messages for all recognized exit codes
- **PocketBase Integration**: Errors are recorded via PATCH with `status`, `error`, and `exit_code` fields
- **Error Tracking**: Anonymous telemetry helps track common failure patterns
- **Diagnostic Data**: Contributes to project-wide analytics without PII
### API Communication Errors
- **Network Failures**: Handle API communication failures gracefully
- **Missing Prerequisites**: Check prerequisites before API calls
- **Duplicate Prevention**: Prevent duplicate status updates
- **Error Recovery**: Handle API errors without blocking installation
- **Network Failures**: All API calls use `|| true` — failures are swallowed silently
- **Missing Prerequisites**: Functions return early if curl, DIAGNOSTICS, or UUID are missing
- **Duplicate Prevention**: `POST_UPDATE_DONE` flag ensures only one PATCH per session
- **Record Lookup Fallback**: If `PB_RECORD_ID` is unset, a GET filter query resolves the record
## Performance Considerations
### API Communication Overhead
- **Minimal Impact**: API calls add minimal overhead
- **Asynchronous**: API calls don't block installation process
- **Error Handling**: API failures don't affect installation
- **Optional**: API reporting is optional and can be disabled
- **Minimal Impact**: Only 2 HTTP calls per installation (1 POST + 1 PATCH)
- **Non-blocking**: API failures never block the installation process
- **Fire-and-forget**: curl stderr is suppressed (`2>/dev/null`)
- **Optional**: Telemetry is entirely opt-in via `DIAGNOSTICS` setting
### Memory Usage
- **Minimal Footprint**: API functions use minimal memory
- **Variable Reuse**: Global variables reused across functions
- **No Memory Leaks**: Proper cleanup prevents memory leaks
- **Efficient Processing**: Efficient JSON payload creation
### Execution Speed
- **Fast API Calls**: Quick API communication
- **Efficient Error Processing**: Fast error code processing
- **Minimal Delay**: Minimal delay in API operations
- **Non-blocking**: API calls don't block installation
## Security Considerations
### Data Privacy
- **Anonymous Reporting**: Only anonymous data is sent
- **No Sensitive Data**: No sensitive information is transmitted
- **User Control**: Users can disable diagnostic reporting
- **Data Minimization**: Only necessary data is sent
### API Security
- **HTTPS**: API communication uses secure protocols
- **Data Validation**: API data is validated before sending
- **Error Handling**: API errors are handled securely
- **No Credentials**: No authentication credentials are sent
### Network Security
- **Secure Communication**: Uses secure HTTP protocols
- **Error Handling**: Network errors are handled gracefully
- **No Data Leakage**: No sensitive data is leaked
- **Secure Endpoints**: Uses trusted API endpoints
## Future Integration Considerations
### Extensibility
- **New API Endpoints**: Easy to add new API endpoints
- **Additional Data**: Easy to add new data fields
- **Error Codes**: Easy to add new error code descriptions
- **API Versions**: Easy to support new API versions
### Compatibility
- **API Versioning**: Compatible with different API versions
- **Data Format**: Compatible with different data formats
- **Error Codes**: Compatible with different error code systems
- **Network Protocols**: Compatible with different network protocols
### Performance
- **Optimization**: API communication can be optimized
- **Caching**: API responses can be cached
- **Batch Operations**: Multiple operations can be batched
- **Async Processing**: API calls can be made asynchronous
### Security Considerations
- **Anonymous**: No personal data is transmitted — only system specs and app names
- **No Auth Required**: PocketBase collection rules allow anonymous create/update
- **User Control**: Users can disable telemetry by setting `DIAGNOSTICS=no`
- **HTTP**: API uses HTTP (not HTTPS) for compatibility with minimal containers
