Even though "User.email" is enforced as unique at signup, it is not a unique field in the database. Let's use "User.id" instead. This also makes it more difficult to do a session stealing attack.

Start by renaming variables to something more generic. This will give us a bit more flexibility as we look to other session management mechanisms.

- feat: added new util to get the current user when needed. Middleware was adding authentication logic to all the routes. let's revisit if we can move the non-auth endpoints to a separate route.
- refac: update the routes to use new helpers for verification and retrieving user
- chore: added black for local formatting of py code

- refactored chat routes to use request.user instead of doing authentication in every route
