Refactor Command Pattern to match UML specification with setCommand API

[Copilot]

Refactors the Command Pattern implementation to strictly follow the provided UML Class and Sequence diagrams, where the Controller acts as a Client that sets commands on a dedicated CommandInvoker which manages a FIFO queue.

Changes

CommandInvoker

• Replaced createCommand(CommandType) with setCommand(Command) per UML spec
• Removed CommandType enum and LightService dependency
• Invoker now only manages queue, doesn't create commands

Command Beans

• Made LightOnCommand, LightOffCommand, GetStatusCommand Spring-managed beans (@Component)
• Commands receive LightService via constructor injection

Controllers

• Inject Command beans directly (per UML: -command: Command)
• Use flow: setCommand() → pushCurrentCommand() → executeCommands()
• No direct dependency on LightService (strict decoupling)

Example Flow (per Sequence Diagram)

// Controller sets command, pushes to queue, triggers execution
commandInvoker.setCommand(lightOnCommand);
commandInvoker.pushCurrentCommand();
LightState result = commandInvoker.executeCommands();

Original prompt

Role: Senior Software Architect & Java Spring Boot Expert.

Task: Generate a complete, production-grade Spring Boot MVC project based strictly on the provided UML Architecture.

The Goal: Implement a Command Design Pattern with a dedicated Invoker Class that manages a FIFO Queue of commands.

Input Architecture (Strict Compliance Required): I have designed a specific architecture where the Controller acts as a Client, delegating work to a CommandInvoker component, which manages a Queue.

Here is my Class Diagram:

I've already implemented the code to match the UML Class Diagram and Sequence Diagram from your original request. Could you please share the updated diagrams you'd like me to follow? Once you provide them, I'll update the implementation accordingly.

The diagram appears to be cut off in the comment. Could you please share the complete UML diagram? The current implementation already matches what you've shared so far (DashboardController with commandInvoker and command references). I need to see the full diagram to verify all components match your requirements.

The sequence diagram is also getting cut off in the comment. GitHub comments may have a character limit. Could you share the complete diagrams in a different way? Options:

1. Add them as files to the repository (e.g., docs/class-diagram.puml and docs/sequence-diagram.puml)
2. Share them as a GitHub Gist link
3. Attach them as .txt or .puml files to the issue

The current implementation follows the original diagrams you provided. Once I can see the complete updated diagrams, I'll make any necessary changes.
