Add secure API method resolution system

Implement strict HTTP verb-based method resolution that prevents arbitrary
method execution on driver objects. GET requests now only resolve to query_*
methods, POST requests only to set_*methods. This security measure protects
against accessing private methods or unintended driver functionality via API.

Updated frontend components to use partial method names (e.g., "voltage"
instead of "query_voltage") which the API automatically resolves based on
HTTP verb. Added comprehensive test coverage for the new resolution system.

Documentation updated with security features and naming conventions.

+Follow these steps:
+
+1. Run `git status` and `git diff` (both staged and unstaged) to understand all changes
+2. Run `git log -1 --format='%s'` to see the last commit message style
+3. Analyze the changes and generate a concise, descriptive commit message that:
+   - Summarizes the nature of changes (feature, fix, refactor, docs, etc.)
+   - Focuses on the "what" and "why" rather than implementation details
+   - Uses imperative mood (e.g., "Add feature" not "Added feature")
+   - Keeps the first line under 72 characters
+   - Follows the repository's commit message style

+- Do NOT push if the repository is not connected to a remote
+- If pre-commit hooks modify files, check if amend is safe before using --amend

+## API Naming Convention & Security
+
+The API implements a **secure method resolution system** that prevents arbitrary method execution:
+
+### GET Requests (Query)
+Partial method names are **strictly** resolved to `query_*` methods only:
+- `GET /instruments/PSU/device-1/1/voltage` → calls `driver.query_voltage(1)`
+- `GET /instruments/DMM/device-2/1/current` → calls `driver.query_current(1)`
+
+### POST Requests (Set)
+Partial method names are **strictly** resolved to `set_*` methods only:
+- `POST /instruments/PSU/device-1/1/current/2.5` → calls `driver.set_current(1, 2.5)`
+- `POST /instruments/ELL/device-3/1/mode/CURR` → calls `driver.set_mode(1, "CURR")`
+
+### Security Features
+1. **No Arbitrary Method Execution**: Only methods with `query_` or `set_` prefixes can be called via API
+2. **No Private Method Access**: Methods like `_internal_method()` or `__init__()` cannot be accessed
+3. **HTTP Verb Enforcement**: GET only allows query methods, POST only allows set methods
+4. **Protection Against Mistakes**: Cannot accidentally call setters with GET or queries with POST
+
+**Example of what is NOT allowed (security protection):**
+- `GET /instruments/PSU/device-1/1/poll_status` → **Rejected** (no query_poll_status)
+- `POST /instruments/PSU/device-1/1/_private_method/value` → **Rejected** (private method)
+- `GET /instruments/PSU/device-1/1/set_voltage` → **Rejected** (setter on GET request)

 3. Create `manifest.json` defining models, classes, polling config, and EOL characters
 4. Update `drivers/classes.json` if adding new 3-letter class codes
 5. Add driver instantiation logic to `driver_factory.py` if needed
 6. Create tests in `tests/` using pytest and mock serial communication

+- **Query methods** (read): prefix with `query_` (e.g., `query_voltage`, `query_current`)
+- **Setter methods** (write): prefix with `set_` (e.g., `set_voltage`, `set_current`)
