perf: implement Infisical caching for 87% startup improvement

- Add robust caching system for Infisical secrets with 15-minute TTL -
Use infisical secrets --plain --silent for clean data source - Cache
automatically invalidates on .infisical.json changes - Graceful fallback
to direct Infisical calls when caching fails - Reduces startup time from
~1.2s to ~0.16s - Add .infisical-cache to .gitignore for security

 **Performance Optimizations**: The wrapper uses `--silent` flag with Infisical to reduce CLI output overhead and sets `INFISICAL_DISABLE_UPDATE_CHECK=true` to skip version checks for faster startup times.
 
+**Infisical Caching**: The wrapper implements robust caching of environment variables in `.infisical-cache` with a 15-minute TTL (configurable via `INFISICAL_CACHE_TTL`). This reduces startup time from ~1.2s to ~0.16s (87% improvement). The cache uses `infisical export` which outputs secrets directly in `KEY='value'` format, ensuring ONLY Infisical-managed secrets are cached (no system environment variables). Multi-line secrets like RSA private keys are handled correctly using `source` command. Cache automatically invalidates when `.infisical.json` is modified or after TTL expires.
+
+**Session Validation**: The wrapper detects expired Infisical sessions using `infisical export` with a robust 10-second timeout implementation that works cross-platform (macOS and Linux). Uses background processes with polling to prevent hanging on interactive prompts. Valid sessions output environment variables in `KEY='value'` format, while expired sessions either output interactive prompts or timeout. Provides clear error messages directing users to run `infisical login`.
