fix: implement in-memory token caching to avoid redundant prefs decryptions (#320)

* fix: implement in-memory token caching to avoid redundant prefs decryptions

Resolves #277

Previously, the `AuthManager.getToken()` method decrypted the entire
`EncryptedSharedPreferences` file on every call. Because this method is
used in the OkHttp interceptor on every HTTP/WS request, and frequently
during navigation, it introduced 10-30ms of redundant work per call.
This compounded to noticeable UI lag (e.g., during chat session switches).

This commit implements thread-safe in-memory caching for the auth token
inside `AuthManager`.
- Added a `@Volatile` `cachedToken` and `tokenInitialized` flag.
- Modified `getToken()` to return the cached value after initial evaluation,
  using double-checked locking (`synchronized(this)`) to avoid race conditions.
- Updated `setToken()` and `setSelectedProfileId()` to correctly invalidate
  or update the cache.
- Added comprehensive unit tests in `AuthManagerTest.kt` to verify caching
  behavior and proper invalidation upon profile switches.
