Highlights since the demo

1. Messages are now working!!
2. Architectural changes:

• Interface Adapter are widely used to reduce dependencies between concrete classes
• (Dependency injection) by making an IMessage interface and inject such instance in Chatroom's method calls, we are able to remove Chatroom's dependency on Message
• (Boundary) If a use case class ever needs to depend on a gateway (UserProfile depends on UserRepo), an interface of the gateway is stored in the use case.
• (Facade)Large classes have been refactored into smaller classes, either through static function in a helper class(HTTPHelper) or the Facade design pattern
• (Clean Architure) is now stricly followed to avoid cross layer dependencies

3. Unit tests are added for most classes except the Server class, which was mainly tested by Postman. If needed, we can share the test cases.
4. All classes are documented. Most controller/viewer/gateway classes are heavily documented
5. All required Phase 2 documents:
