feat: merging dev changes to main branch

[Roopan-Microsoft]

Purpose

• This pull request introduces changes to the frontend server and client-side JavaScript to support an optional authentication feature. The key changes include adding a new environment variable for authentication, updating the configuration endpoint, and modifying client-side scripts to handle the new authentication setting.

Changes to support optional authentication:

• src/frontend/frontend_server.py: Added the AUTH_ENABLED environment variable to the configuration endpoint, allowing the frontend to know if authentication is enabled.

Client-side handling of authentication:

• src/frontend/wwwroot/app.js: Updated to store the AUTH_ENABLED value and use it to determine whether to use mock user data when authentication is disabled. [1] [2]
• src/frontend/wwwroot/utils.js: Modified the GetAuthDetails function to check the authEnabled setting and return mock user headers if authentication is disabled. Added a helper function getMockUserHeaders to generate these headers. [1] [2] [3]
