Description

Currently, when the application is opened and a token needs to be refetched, the window will not open until the token is retrieved. While this might make sense from a serialized loading perspective, it gives the impression that the entire application is stalling. We should load the token asynchronously and wait for it whilst the window loads simultaneously.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Implement asynchronous token fetching to prevent blocking the UI. Explore using async/await in Rust with an executor like tokio or async std. Ensure the token retrieval runs concurrently with window initialization.
