chatroom 2.0.0-alpha1

Chatroom 2.0.0-alpha1 is the first alpha of the modernized 2.x series.

This release targets Drupal 11 and Drupal 12 compatibility and removes the required Node.js dependency. It adds independent, access-controlled rooms; optional public room discovery; account-bound membership and invitations; join requests with moderator approval; restricted message administration; and optional, room-scoped moderation reporting.

Drupal remains the source of truth for messages and access. Polling is the built-in delivery path. Node.js and Live Update are optional integrations.

This is a pre-release for testing and feedback, not a stable release. Drupal 11 has local test evidence; Drupal 12 still needs a full runtime and CI compatibility matrix.
