🚀 Comprehensive Webscout Project Improvements & Bug Fixes

[OEvortex]

🎯 Overview

This PR provides comprehensive improvements to the Webscout project, addressing critical bugs, enhancing code quality, modernizing dependencies, and improving overall project health.

🔧 Critical Bug Fixes

1. Image Generation API Bug ✅

Problem: The /v1/images/generations endpoint was returning an internal server error:

{
    "error": {
        "message": "Internal server error: 'Images' object has no attribute 'generations'",
        "type": "internal_error"
    }
}

Solution: Fixed incorrect method call in webscout/auth/routes.py:

# Before (incorrect)
response = provider.images.generations.create(**params)

# After (correct)
response = provider.images.create(**params)

2. Repository URL Consistency ✅

Problem: Mixed repository URLs pointing to old repository name
Solution: Updated all URLs from OE-LUCIFER/Webscout to OEvortex/Webscout

3. Deprecated Import Fix ✅

Problem: Using deprecated pkg_resources in update_checker.py
Solution: Modernized to use importlib.metadata with fallback for older Python versions

4. Typo Fix ✅

Problem: Typo in webscout/__init__.py comment
Solution: Fixed "errorslently" → "errors silently"

🛡️ Enhanced Error Handling

Improved Exception Handling in Core Modules

Replaced generic exception handling with specific, descriptive error messages:

# Before
try:
    for r in self._executor.map(_text_api_page, slist):
        results.extend(r)
except Exception as e:
    raise e

# After
try:
    for r in self._executor.map(_text_api_page, slist):
        results.extend(r)
except Exception as e:
    raise WebscoutE(f"Error during text API search: {e}") from e

Benefits:

• ✅ Better error debugging with specific context
• ✅ Proper exception chaining with from e
• ✅ More informative error messages
• ✅ Easier troubleshooting for developers

📦 Dependency Management Improvements

Enhanced pyproject.toml Configuration

Before: Basic dependencies without version constraints
After: Comprehensive dependency management with proper versioning

# Enhanced dependencies with version constraints
dependencies = [
    "setuptools>=42.0.0",
    "wheel>=0.37.0",
    "fastapi>=0.104.0",
    "pydantic>=2.0.0",
    # ... all dependencies now have proper version constraints
]

# New optional dependency categories
[project.optional-dependencies]
api = ["fastapi>=0.104.0", "uvicorn[standard]>=0.24.0", ...]
dev = ["pytest>=7.4.2", "black>=23.0.0", "mypy>=1.0.0", ...]
test = ["pytest>=7.4.2", "pytest-asyncio>=0.21.0", ...]
docs = ["mkdocs>=1.5.0", "mkdocs-material>=9.0.0", ...]

Benefits:

• ✅ Better dependency stability
• ✅ Reduced compatibility issues
• ✅ Enhanced development tooling
• ✅ Organized dependency categories
