Implement comprehensive rate limiting system and item spawn configuration

Major Features Added:
- Complete token bucket rate limiting for IRC commands and web interface
- Per-user rate tracking with category-based limits (Basic, Gameplay, Management, Admin, Web)
- Admin commands for rate limit management (\!rate_stats, \!rate_user, \!rate_unban, \!rate_reset)
- Automatic violation tracking and temporary bans with cleanup
- Global item spawn multiplier system with 75% spawn rate reduction
- Central admin configuration system (config.py)
- One-command bot startup script (start_petbot.sh)

Rate Limiting:
- Token bucket algorithm with burst capacity and refill rates
- Category limits: Basic (20/min), Gameplay (10/min), Management (5/min), Web (60/min)
- Graceful violation handling with user-friendly error messages
- Admin exemption and override capabilities
- Background cleanup of old violations and expired bans

Item Spawn System:
- Added global_spawn_multiplier to config/items.json for easy adjustment
- Reduced all individual spawn rates by 75% (multiplied by 0.25)
- Admins can fine-tune both global multiplier and individual item rates
- Game engine integration applies multiplier to all spawn calculations

Infrastructure:
- Single admin user configuration in config.py
- Enhanced startup script with dependency management and verification
- Updated documentation and help system with rate limiting guide
- Comprehensive test suite for rate limiting functionality

Security:
- Rate limiting protects against command spam and abuse
- IP-based tracking for web interface requests
- Proper error handling and status codes (429 for rate limits)

+# PetBot Backup System Integration Guide
+
+## Overview
+
+The PetBot backup system provides automated database backups with rotation, compression, and restore capabilities. This system ensures data protection and disaster recovery for the PetBot project.
+
+## Components
+
+### 1. Core Backup Module (`src/backup_manager.py`)
+
+**Features:**
+- Automated database backups using SQLite backup API
+- Gzip compression for space efficiency
+- Retention policies (7 daily, 4 weekly, 12 monthly)
+- Backup verification and integrity checks
+- Restore functionality with automatic current database backup
+- Database structure export for documentation
+
+**Key Classes:**
+- `BackupManager`: Main backup operations
+- `BackupScheduler`: Automated scheduling system
+
+### 2. IRC Command Module (`modules/backup_commands.py`)
+
+**Commands:**
+- `!backup [type] [uncompressed]` - Create manual backup
+- `!restore <filename> [confirm]` - Restore from backup
+- `!backups` - List available backups
+- `!backup_stats` - Show backup statistics
+- `!backup_cleanup` - Clean up old backups
+
+**Security:**
+- Admin-only commands
+- Confirmation required for restore operations
+- Automatic current database backup before restore
+
+### 3. Configuration (`config/backup_config.json`)
+
+**Settings:**
+- Backup retention policies
+- Compression settings
+- Automated schedule configuration
+- Monitoring and notification preferences
+
+## Installation
+
+### 1. Dependencies
+
+Ensure the following Python packages are installed:
+```bash
+pip install aiosqlite
+```
+
+### 2. Directory Structure
+
+Create the backup directory:
+```bash
+mkdir -p backups
+```
+
+### 3. Integration with Bot
+
+Add the backup commands module to your bot's module loader in `src/bot.py`:
+
+```python
+from modules.backup_commands import BackupCommands
+
+# In your bot initialization
+self.backup_commands = BackupCommands(self, self.database)
+```
+
+### 4. Configuration
+
+Update `modules/backup_commands.py` with your admin usernames:
+
+```python
+admin_users = ["admin", "your_username"]  # Replace with actual admin usernames
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+### Manual Backup Creation
+
+```
+!backup                    # Create manual compressed backup
+!backup uncompressed       # Create uncompressed backup
+!backup daily             # Create daily backup
+```
+
+### Listing Backups
+
+```
+!backups                   # List available backups
+!backup_stats             # Show detailed statistics
+```
+
+### Restore Operations
+
+```
+!restore backup_filename.db.gz         # Show restore confirmation
+!restore backup_filename.db.gz confirm # Actually perform restore
+```
+
+### Maintenance
+
+```
+!backup_cleanup           # Remove old backups per retention policy
+```
+
+## Automated Scheduling
+
+The backup system automatically creates:
+- **Daily backups**: Every 24 hours
+- **Weekly backups**: Every 7 days  
+- **Monthly backups**: Every 30 days
+
+Automated cleanup removes old backups based on retention policy:
+- Keep 7 most recent daily backups
+- Keep 4 most recent weekly backups
+- Keep 12 most recent monthly backups
+
+## Monitoring
+
+### Log Messages
+
+The backup system logs important events:
+- Backup creation success/failure
+- Restore operations
+- Cleanup operations
+- Scheduler status
+
+### Statistics
+
+Use `!backup_stats` to monitor:
+- Total backup count and size
+- Backup age information
+- Breakdown by backup type
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+1. **Access Control**: Only admin users can execute backup commands
+2. **Confirmation**: Restore operations require explicit confirmation
+3. **Safety Backup**: Current database is automatically backed up before restore
+4. **Integrity Checks**: All backups are verified after creation
+
+## Directory Structure
+
+```
+backups/
+├── petbot_backup_daily_20240115_030000.db.gz
+├── petbot_backup_weekly_20240114_020000.db.gz
+├── petbot_backup_monthly_20240101_010000.db.gz
+└── database_structure_20240115_120000.json
+```
+
+## Backup Filename Format
+
+```
+petbot_backup_{type}_{timestamp}.db[.gz]
+```
+
+- `{type}`: daily, weekly, monthly, manual
+- `{timestamp}`: YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS format
+- `.gz`: Added for compressed backups
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+1. **Permission Errors**: Ensure backup directory is writable
+2. **Disk Space**: Monitor available space, backups are compressed by default
+3. **Database Locked**: Backups use SQLite backup API to avoid locking issues
+
+### Recovery Procedures
+
+1. **Database Corruption**: Use most recent backup with `!restore`
+2. **Backup Corruption**: Try previous backup or use database structure export
+3. **Complete Loss**: Restore from most recent backup, may lose recent data
+
+## Testing
+
+Run the test suite to verify functionality:
+
+```bash
+python3 test_backup_simple.py
+```
+
+This tests:
+- Basic backup creation
+- Compression functionality
+- Restore operations
+- Directory structure
+- Real database compatibility
+
+## Performance
+
+### Backup Sizes
+
+- Uncompressed: ~2-5MB for typical database
+- Compressed: ~200-500KB (60-90% reduction)
+
+### Backup Speed
+
+- Small databases (<10MB): 1-2 seconds
+- Medium databases (10-100MB): 5-10 seconds
+- Large databases (>100MB): 30+ seconds
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+1. **Encryption**: Add backup encryption for sensitive data
+2. **Remote Storage**: Support for cloud storage providers
+3. **Differential Backups**: Only backup changed data
+4. **Web Interface**: Backup management through web interface
+5. **Email Notifications**: Alert on backup failures
+
+## Support
+
+For issues or questions about the backup system:
+1. Check the logs for error messages
+2. Run the test suite to verify functionality
+3. Ensure all dependencies are installed
+4. Verify directory permissions
