Introduced the scaffolding for a Matrix double puppeting bridge, including essential configuration and basic operational logic. The setup encompasses the .gitignore additions to exclude environment and build files, inclusion of LICENSE and README for legal and project outlining, respectively, and foundational project structure in pyproject.toml for package management. Core functionality to relay messages between Matrix and an external service is established, with stubs for extending the bridge's capabilities. This groundwork lays the foundation for further development and experimentation with the Matrix API and double puppeting mechanisms, illustrating a preliminary model for bi-directional communication bridges.
