chore: update project management and API integration

- Added new scripts for server development and full application startup in package.json.
- Enhanced project management by checking for existing projects to avoid duplicates.
- Improved API integration with better error handling and connection checks in the Electron API.
- Updated UI components to reflect changes in project and session management.
- Refactored authentication status display to include more detailed information on methods used.
