fix: cache route permission checks in RBAC middleware

[Ishola001]

Overview

This PR adds a session-scoped permission cache to the RBAC middleware so route permission checks are computed once per session and reused across navigations. The cache is backed by a small ACL helper in src/lib/auth/acl.ts, integrated into src/middleware/rbac.ts, and covered by unit/integration tests for cache hits, invalidation, and stale-permission prevention.

Changes

🗂️ Session Permission Cache

• [ADD] src/lib/auth/acl.ts

  • Adds a lightweight session permission cache keyed by session ID + role + route.
  • Supports cache hits, TTL expiry, and explicit invalidation on permission/session changes.
  • Keeps existing ACL lookup and authorization helpers intact for backwards compatibility.

• [MODIFY] src/middleware/rbac.ts

  • Checks the session permission cache before running full RBAC resolution.
  • Caches successful permission results per session to avoid recomputation on every navigation.
  • Invalidates cached entries when the session or its permission set changes, preventing stale authorization.

• [ADD] src/lib/__tests__/rbacCache.test.ts

  • Verifies permission cache hit on repeated route checks.
  • Verifies cache invalidation on permission updates.
  • Verifies separate sessions do not share cached permissions.
  • Verifies expiry behavior and fallback to original RBAC computation.

Verification Results

npm test -- src/lib/__tests__/rbacCache.test.ts
✅ 8/8 passed

npm test -- src/lib/__tests__/acl.test.ts src/middleware/__tests__/rbac.test.ts
✅ 14/14 passed

Live acceptance check:
✅ Repeated navigation does not recompute permissions for the same session
✅ Permission changes invalidate stale cache entries
✅ No cross-session cache leakage
✅ Existing RBAC behavior preserved

Acceptance Criteria	Status
Implemented across the listed files	✅ src/middleware/rbac.ts and src/lib/auth/acl.ts updated
Unit/integration tests added or updated and passing	✅ 8 new cache tests + 14 existing ACL/RBAC tests passing
No regression; follows project coding standards	✅ Lint/type checks clean; existing tests pass unchanged

Closes #1197
