Includes various compatibility fixes, reversions, and clean-up from the previous development cycle to create a stable base for the MQTT implementation. This ensures the application starts reliably with the pinned aioesphomeapi version.

Adds a handler for the VOICE_ASSISTANT_ERROR event, publishing a voice_error event to the EventBus so the LedController can provide visual feedback.
Fixes a race condition where the "Responding" LED effect was being cancelled prematurely, ensuring it now plays for the full duration of the TTS audio.
Adds command-line arguments (--mqtt-host, --mqtt-port, etc., and --num-leds) to configure the MQTT connection and initial LED setup.
Instantiates and starts the MqttController on application startup if an MQTT host is provided.
Includes the MicMuteHandler class, which listens for mute commands, updates the global mic_muted state, and clears the audio queue on unmute to prevent processing stale audio.
Updates the process_audio loop to respect the mic_muted flag.
Refactored for Full Configurability: The controller has been re-architected to remove all hard-coded effects and colors.
Central Configuration: It now uses a central configs dictionary to store the effect, color, and brightness settings for each voice assistant state (idle, listening, etc.).
Dynamic State Management: Subscribes to new set_<state>_effect and set_<state>_color events from the event bus to update its configuration in real-time.
Applies Custom Effects: The main voice event handlers (voice_stt_start, voice_stt_end, etc.) have been simplified to look up the user's chosen configuration and apply it.
New Animations: Implements a full suite of animations (Slow/Medium/Fast Pulse, Slow/Medium/Fast Blink, Spin) to be used by the effect selectors.
Adds paho-mqtt as a core dependency to enable MQTT communication.
Pins aioesphomeapi==41.13.0 to ensure stability with the existing codebase and avoid unresolved library issues on some platforms.
Introduces the MqttController, a new class that manages all communication with the MQTT broker.
On startup, it connects to the broker and publishes discovery configurations for all entities, automatically creating them in Home Assistant.
Subscribes to command topics to receive instructions from the HA interface.
Subscribes to state topics to read retained messages on startup, ensuring all user settings are persistent.
Acts as a bridge, translating incoming MQTT messages into internal EventBus events for other components to act upon.
