User Story
As a user, I need to successfully authenticate so I can access the PyAirtable features.
Current State

- Authentication service running on port 7007 but not properly integrated
- JWT token generation/validation not working end-to-end
- CORS issues preventing frontend-backend communication
Acceptance Criteria

- JWT tokens are properly generated and validated
- Session management working between frontend (port 5173) and backend
- Error handling for invalid credentials with user-friendly messages
- Protected routes redirect unauthenticated users to login
