This commit refactors the entire backend application into a more structured and maintainable Flask project. It introduces an application factory pattern, consolidates routes into a blueprint, and implements a robust authentication and database layer.
- Introduces a Flask application factory (`create_app` in `main.py`) for better organization and testability.
- Consolidates all API routes into a single blueprint (`routes/api.py`) for modularity.
- Implements a new basic authentication system using a decorator (`@requires_basic_auth`) to secure all endpoints.
- Refactors the database access layer with standardized query execution and connection handling.
- Adds new modules for core logic, including an account checker (`checker.py`) and user retrieval (`get_users.py`).
- Updates the VSCode launch configuration to support the new Flask application structure.
BREAKING CHANGE: The application has been completely restructured. The old `server.py` entry point is removed. The application should now be run via the app factory in `main.py`. All API endpoints now require basic authentication.
