fix: optimize Twitter login with cookie validation and retry mechanism

  • Check for existing cookies or logged-in status before attempting login.
  • Add a retry mechanism with a limit of 5 attempts to avoid infinite loops.
  • Log meaningful errors and outcomes for easier debugging.
  • Reduce unnecessary API calls to improve efficiency and prevent rate limits.

Relates to:

#855

Risks

Low
• Changes are limited to the Twitter login flow.
• Potential risks involve improper handling of cookies or failure to recognize logged-in status, which could prevent login.

Background

What does this PR do?

•	Checks for existing cookies or logged-in status before attempting a login to reduce unnecessary API calls.
•	Adds a retry mechanism with a maximum of 5 attempts to prevent infinite loops.
•	Improves logging for better error tracing and debugging.

What kind of change is this?

•	Bug fix: Fixes unnecessary login attempts when valid cookies exist.
•	Improvement: Adds retry logic and detailed logging.

Documentation changes needed?

•	My changes do not require a change to the project documentation.

Testing

Where should a reviewer start?

•	Begin by reviewing the isLoggedIn and getCookies checks to ensure logic correctly identifies logged-in status and cookies.

Detailed testing steps

1.	Run the script with valid cookies stored:
•	Confirm that the login process is skipped, and cookies are cached successfully.
2.	Run the script without valid cookies or login:
•	Verify that the login process attempts to log in.
•	Confirm retries are limited to 5 and follow a delay.
•	Check logs for accurate messaging on failures and successes.
3.	Induce intentional login failure (e.g., by providing incorrect credentials):
•	Verify proper error logging and eventual exit after retries are exhausted.

fix: optimize Twitter login with cookie validation and retry mechanism

- Check for existing cookies or logged-in status before attempting login.
- Add a retry mechanism with a limit of 5 attempts to avoid infinite loops.
