Refactor: Split app.ts into smaller modules
## Summary
- Begin splitting the large app.ts file into smaller, more testable modules
- Extract functionality into modules under lib/app/ directory
- Keep app.ts as the main entry point

## Motivation
The app.ts file has grown to ~880 lines making it harder to maintain and test. This PR starts splitting it into logical components while preserving the overall functionality.

## Modules extracted so far:
- lib/app/utils.ts - Common utility functions
- lib/app/cli.ts - Command-line argument parsing
- lib/app/config.ts - Configuration loading and property handling
- lib/app/server.ts - Web server setup and middleware configuration

## Test plan
- Added unit tests for each new module
- Ensure all existing functionality works correctly
- Run make pre-commit to verify type checking and linting
