enhance: add comprehensive JWT authentication logging and refactor to Ruby Way

Enhanced JWT authentication with detailed logging for debugging token recognition issues:
- Added step-by-step logging for token extraction, decoding, validation, and user lookup
- Improved error handling with specific exception details and backtraces
- Refactored code following Ruby Way philosophy: single responsibility methods, functional style, eliminated temp variables
- Used Ruby idioms: .tap chaining, &. safe navigation, inline conditionals
- All methods now under 14 lines, following CLAUDE.md code conventions
- Added comprehensive logging for: missing headers, invalid formats, decoder failures, validation errors, user lookup failures
- Enhanced RuboCop configuration for JWT authentication module cohesiveness
