🔄 Refactored XRPL Connector

This release brings significant enhancements to the XRPL ecosystem integration. The connector's user stream has been completely refactored to use a polling-based approach instead of WebSocket subscriptions. This new architecture ensures greater reliability and resilience in environments with unstable connections, periodically fetching account transaction history while adding robust state tracking and deduplication mechanisms.

Highlights

• Polling-based User Stream: Replaces WebSocket subscriptions with a periodic polling mechanism for fetching transaction history, significantly improving connection robustness.
• Enhanced Event Processing & Worker Integration: Introduces efficient state tracking and deduplication, robust transaction transformation, and integration with XRPLWorkerPoolManager for optimal query execution.
• Core Integration: Officially merged into the Hummingbot client via PR #7975.

Thanks to mlguys for this contribution! 🙏

🧠 Strategy V2 Unification & LP Execution Framework

We are continuing to evolve our strategy framework by unifying the V2 strategy and script architectures and introducing an automated Liquidity Provider (LP) execution framework for CLMM DEXs. These architectural upgrades provide a robust foundation for building and deploying advanced market-making and liquidity provision strategies.

Highlights

• Unified Strategy & Script Base: Consolidates the Strategy V2 and script frameworks into a single architecture to simplify development, and re-implements the classic Pure Market Making strategy (pmm_v1) utilizing the V2 framework.
• LP Executor & Rebalancer: Introduces the lp_rebalancer controller and lp_executor for automated liquidity provision on CLMM DEXs (e.g., Meteora, Raydium). Features include an orchestrated state machine for managing LP positions, automatic out-of-range rebalancing based on price limits, and a new lphistory command for performance tracking.
• Core Integration: Merged via PRs #7986 and #7948.
