Issue Title

[BUG][UI][401] WeOwnChat streams "An error occurred while streaming response. Code 401" — should direct operator to log out and log back in

Issue Body

🐛 Description

When a human operator's session token expires while interacting with a remote instance (e.g., INT-P05 DRP.bot 🔬 / DeepSeek V4 Flash), WeOwnChat displays the following generic error message:

"An error occurred while streaming response. Code 401"

This message is not actionable — it tells the operator something went wrong but does NOT tell them how to fix it.

✅ Simple Solution

The fix is: Log out and log back in.

This refreshes the session token and resolves the 401 error. However, the current error message does NOT communicate this solution.

🎯 Requested Improvement

Replace or augment the generic 401 error message with an actionable directive that tells the human operator what to do:

Current (Broken)

An error occurred while streaming response. Code 401

Proposed (Improved)

Session expired. Code 401 — Please log out and log back in to refresh your session.

Or even simpler:

401 — Session expired. Log out and log back in.

🔬 Reproduction Steps

Step	Action	Result
1	Log into WeOwnChat	✅ Connected to INT-B001
2	Navigate to INT-P05 (DRP.bot 🔬)	✅ Instance loads
3	Attempt to stream a response after session token expires (>~1h idle)	❌ "An error occurred while streaming response. Code 401"
4	Log out and log back in	✅ Streaming works again

🧪 Environment

Field	Value
Platform	WeOwnChat 💬
Instance	INT-P05 (DRP.bot 🔬)
Model	DeepSeek V4 Flash
Error Code	401 (Unauthorized — session token expired)
Affected Users	All human operators with expired sessions
Frequency	Reproducible — every time session token expires

💡 Proposed Fix

Option A: Improve Error Message Text (Quick Win)

Change the error message string to include the solution:

"Session expired. Code 401 — Please log out and log back in to refresh your session."

Option B: Add "Log Out & Retry" Button (Better UX)

Add a clickable button or link in the error message:

[ 🔄 Log Out & Log Back In ]

that logs the user out in one click.

Option C: Auto-Detect + Auto-Refresh (Best UX)

Detect 401 errors and automatically redirect to login or refresh the session token silently.

📋 Recommendation

Minimum (P1 — This Week): Implement Option A — improve the error message string. This is a text change only, low risk, high impact.

Nice-to-have (P2 — W32): Implement Option B — add a "Log Out & Log Back In" button to the error UI.

Future (P3): Evaluate Option C — auto-refresh session tokens to prevent 401 errors entirely.
