Twitch chat bot: !skip → MPD next-track via IRC

Self-hosted async Python bot, runs as systemd --user unit
(obs-twitch-bot.service, sibling to obs-mpd-bridge). Connects to Twitch IRC
over TLS as vault118, listens in #ophi118, advances MPD on !skip and posts
the new track back to chat. 5s cooldown swallows skip-spam silently.

Strips Unicode Tags-block codepoints (U+E0000–U+E007F) before matching the
command so Twitch's anti-duplicate suffix doesn't break every-other !skip
when the broadcaster fires the same command twice in a row.

Bot account is separate (vault118) to keep the broadcaster's display name
out of bot replies; .env holds access token + refresh token + client id
(refresh + client id stored for future token rotation, unused today).

"""
Twitch chat → MPD control bot.
Connects to Twitch IRC over TLS, joins the configured channel, and on `!skip`
advances MPD to the next track. The new track shows up on stream because
bridges/mpd-state.py is already broadcasting MPD state to the loading overlay.
Reads .env from the same directory:
TWITCH_ACCESS_TOKEN chat OAuth token (with or without `oauth:` prefix)
TWITCH_NICK bot login name (lowercase)
TWITCH_CHANNEL channel to join, no leading `#` — defaults to TWITCH_NICK
TWITCH_REFRESH_TOKEN and TWITCH_CLIENT_ID are also stored in .env (paired with
the access token at generation time) but the bot doesn't use them yet — token
refresh would land here later if access tokens start expiring mid-stream.
