v2.19.0-beta3

This beta release improves HA task handling, runner concurrency, logging diagnostics, documentation, and UI behavior. It also continues the database cleanup work by removing BoltDB support and replacing remaining BoltDB-related references with SQLite.

Highlights

• Improved HA task processing by removing task ownership assumptions and fixing several remote task handling edge cases.
• Added mutex protection in runner job handling to make runner-side task execution more stable under concurrent operations.
• Added selective debug log filtering with support for SEMAPHORE_DEBUG_FILTER and --debug-filter.
• Removed BoltDB support and completed related cleanup in code, docs, and issue templates.
• Added Czech translation thanks to a first-time contribution from @rici4kubicek.
• Updated developer, logging, systemd, and runner registration documentation.
• Improved UI behavior for running task spinners and reduced extra UI requests.
• Added an option to skip Ansible Galaxy installation.
