Fix IP extraction fallback and improve Response.Flush error messages

Fixes two issues:

1. extractIP now handles RemoteAddr without port (#2757)
   - Previously returned empty string for addresses like "192.168.1.1"
   - Now validates with net.ParseIP and returns the IP directly
   - Maintains full backwards compatibility for existing behavior

2. Response.Flush uses modern error handling (#2789)
   - Replaces type assertion with http.NewResponseController
   - Provides descriptive panic message with ResponseWriter type info
   - Improves debugging experience when flushing is not supported

Both changes maintain full backwards compatibility while fixing edge cases.

Closes #2757
Closes #2789

+This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
+
+## About This Project
+
+Echo is a high performance, minimalist Go web framework. This is the main repository for Echo v4, which is available as a Go module at `github.com/labstack/echo/v4`.
+
+## Development Commands
+
+The project uses a Makefile for common development tasks:
+
+- `make check` - Run linting, vetting, and race condition tests (default target)
+- `make init` - Install required linting tools (golint, staticcheck)
+- `make lint` - Run staticcheck and golint
+- `make vet` - Run go vet
+- `make test` - Run short tests
+- `make race` - Run tests with race detector
+- `make benchmark` - Run benchmarks
+
+Example commands for development:
+```bash
+# Setup development environment
+make init
+
+# Run all checks (lint, vet, race)
+make check
+
+# Run specific tests
+go test ./middleware/...
+go test -race ./...
+
+# Run benchmarks
+make benchmark
+```
+
+## Code Architecture
+
+### Core Components
+
+**Echo Instance (`echo.go`)**
+- The `Echo` struct is the top-level framework instance
+- Contains router, middleware stacks, and server configuration
+- Not goroutine-safe for mutations after server start
+
+**Context (`context.go`)**
+- The `Context` interface represents HTTP request/response context
+- Provides methods for request/response handling, path parameters, data binding
+- Core abstraction for request processing
+
+**Router (`router.go`)**
+- Radix tree-based HTTP router with smart route prioritization
+- Supports static routes, parameterized routes (`/users/:id`), and wildcard routes (`/static/*`)
+- Each HTTP method has its own routing tree
+
+**Middleware (`middleware/`)**
+- Extensive middleware system with 50+ built-in middlewares
+- Middleware can be applied at Echo, Group, or individual route level
+- Common middleware: Logger, Recover, CORS, JWT, Rate Limiting, etc.
+
+### Key Patterns
+
+**Middleware Chain**
+- Pre-middleware runs before routing
+- Regular middleware runs after routing but before handlers
+- Middleware functions have signature `func(next echo.HandlerFunc) echo.HandlerFunc`
+
+**Route Groups**
+- Routes can be grouped with common prefixes and middleware
+- Groups support nested sub-groups
+- Defined in `group.go`
+
+**Data Binding**
+- Automatic binding of request data (JSON, XML, form) to Go structs
+- Implemented in `binder.go` with support for custom binders
+
+**Error Handling**
+- Centralized error handling via `HTTPErrorHandler`
+- Automatic panic recovery with stack traces
+
+## File Organization
+
+- Root directory: Core Echo functionality (echo.go, context.go, router.go, etc.)
+- `middleware/`: All built-in middleware implementations
+- `_test/`: Test fixtures and utilities
+- `_fixture/`: Test data files
+
+## Code Style
+
+- Go code uses tabs for indentation (per .editorconfig)
+- Follows standard Go conventions and formatting
+- Uses gofmt, golint, and staticcheck for code quality
+
+## Testing
+
+- Standard Go testing with `testing` package
+- Tests include unit tests, integration tests, and benchmarks
+- Race condition testing is required (`make race`)
+- Test files follow `*_test.go` naming convention
