Summary

Fix stale token detection in TokenInjector so that expired IndexedDB tokens don't cause isAuthenticated to be incorrectly true, which prevents loginWithRedirect() from being called.

Problem

Auth0 SDK reads expired tokens from IndexedDB cache and temporarily evaluates isAuthenticated = true. When user taps "Login", handleAuthAction() sees isAuthenticated = true and calls navigate('/garage') instead of loginWithRedirect(). Tokens fail validation, isAuthenticated reverts to false, and user bounces back to homepage.

Changes

File: frontend/src/core/auth/Auth0Provider.tsx
- After isAuthenticated becomes true, validate token is usable via getAccessTokenSilently({ cacheMode: 'off' })
- If validation fails with login_required or consent_required, clear IndexedDB cache and reset Auth0 SDK state
File: frontend/src/core/utils/indexeddb-storage.ts
- Add clearAll() method to clear all cached auth tokens programmatically

Acceptance Criteria

Stale tokens are detected and cleared automatically
After clearing, isAuthenticated correctly reports false
User can then tap Login and reach Auth0 login page
