Chamika J 7ce4ba12ab feat(auth): add cookie-signature dependency and enhance session cookie handling
- Introduced the `@types/cookie-signature` dependency to facilitate proper signing of session cookies.
- Updated session middleware to create a securely signed cookie using the session secret, improving session management for mobile applications.
- Enhanced logging for cookie creation and error handling to aid in debugging session issues.
