Gradle 9 rejects property interpolation inside plugins {} — the version
must be a literal String. Drop the now-unused loom_version key from
gradle.properties so it does not desync from the build script.
Auto-connect on CLIENT_STARTED, .irc reconnect and .irc <msg> all used
to open a TCP socket on the render thread with a 5s connect timeout,
freezing client startup and chat input when the server was unreachable.
Dispatch those paths through a single daemon executor instead, and
release the socket plus the executor on CLIENT_STOPPING.
Loom needs an explicit mappings entry, and Fabric loader / API must be
declared with modImplementation so they get remapped against the active
mappings; the previous commit dropped both, which left the build with
no mappings at all and unremapped Fabric jars. Reference the
loom_version property in the plugin block too so it tracks
gradle.properties.
