Description

We should add a timer which logs people out if their websocket has not been connected for a very long time. Set a backend timer which gets set on websocket close to run an hour later? on websocket connect, check if there is a timer for that user and remove it. If the timer goes off, remove the user from their queues. I think we are safe to leave them having their devices since those will time out naturally.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Implement a timer service that, upon WebSocket disconnection, schedules a delayed task to remove the user from queues. On WebSocket reconnection, cancel the pending task. Use a task queue or async scheduler (e.g., Celery, APScheduler, or asyncio) in Python.
