Description

### Is there an existing issue for this?

- [x] I have searched the existing issues

### What happened?

## 📌 Issue Overview

When an API request returns a 401 Unauthorized response, the frontend only logs an error in the console and does not provide any visible feedback or redirect to the login page.

---

## 🔍 Current Behavior

- Axios interceptor catches 401
- Console logs "Unauthorized request"
- User remains on the same page
- UI appears broken (data not loading, buttons failing)
- No redirection or session reset occurs

---

## ✅ Expected Behavior

- On a definitive 401 response:
- Clear authentication/session state
- Redirect user to `/login`
- OR display a clear “Session expired” message

---

## 🧪 Steps to Reproduce

1. Login normally
2. Expire the token manually or clear auth storage
3. Trigger any protected API call (dashboard, analytics, etc.)
4. Observe that console logs error but no redirect or UI feedback occurs

---

## 🎯 Impact

This affects production readiness and user experience.

When sessions expire:
- Users experience broken UI behavior
- No guidance is provided
- App appears unstable

---

## 💡 Suggested Direction

In the Axios response interceptor:
- Trigger a global logout (Supabase signOut or equivalent)
- Redirect to `/login`
- Optionally show a “Session expired” notification
