Discord Connection Timeout

[Bug] Discord Connection Timeout and Persistent Configuration Loss on Hugging Face

Description

The application is facing two critical issues when deployed on Hugging Face Spaces:

1. Connectivity: The Discord integration consistently fails to establish a connection, throwing a "timed out after 30s" error.
2. Persistence: The application loses all configuration settings, custom_providers, and runtime environment states whenever the Space restarts or rebuilds, rendering the bot unusable after deployments.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Deploy the service to a Hugging Face Space.
2. Observe logs during initialization; the Discord platform reports: ERROR gateway.run: ✗ discord error: discord connect timed out after 30s.
3. Subsequent reconnection attempts (e.g., attempt 2, 3) continue to fail with the same timeout.
4. Trigger a space rebuild or restart; notice that all custom configurations and environment files are wiped, forcing manual reconfiguration.
