📝 Integrate echoself_introspection.py with unified Echo Component architecture

[Copilot]

This PR successfully integrates the echoself_introspection.py fragment into the unified Echo Component architecture while maintaining complete backward compatibility with existing code.

What Changed

The integration adds a new EchoselfIntrospectionComponent class that extends the standardized EchoComponent base class, providing:

• Unified Interface: Standard initialize(), process(), and echo() methods
• Enhanced Integration: Seamless compatibility with other Echo components
• Standardized Error Handling: Consistent EchoResponse objects with proper error metadata
• Comprehensive Logging: Component-specific logging with configurable debug modes

Key Features

Backward Compatibility ✅

All existing code continues to work unchanged:

# Original interface - still fully supported
from echoself_introspection import EchoselfIntrospector

introspector = EchoselfIntrospector()
prompt = introspector.inject_repo_input_into_prompt(current_load=0.6, recent_activity=0.4)
snapshot = introspector.get_cognitive_snapshot()

New Unified Interface

# New unified interface
from echoself_introspection import EchoselfIntrospectionComponent
from echo_component_base import EchoConfig

config = EchoConfig(component_name="introspection", version="1.0.0")
component = EchoselfIntrospectionComponent(config)

# Standard Echo operations
component.initialize()
result = component.process({'current_load': 0.7, 'recent_activity': 0.3})
echo_result = component.echo("data", echo_value=0.8)

Testing

• 32 total tests (23 original + 9 new unified interface tests)
• 100% test coverage for both original and unified interfaces
• Integration validation with comprehensive demo showing 176+ files processed
• Error handling validation for edge cases and invalid inputs

Implementation Details

The integration uses conditional imports to maintain standalone capability:

• Falls back gracefully when echo_component_base is not available
• Preserves all original classes and functionality
• Adds enhanced features without breaking existing code

Migration Path

• Phase 1 (Now): No changes required - all existing code works
• Phase 2 (Optional): Teams can adopt unified interface in new code
• Phase 3 (Future): Full migration when convenient

This integration exemplifies the Echo system's design philosophy: enhance capabilities while maintaining complete backward compatibility.

Fixes #28.
