🎯 What: Fixed a security vulnerability where the Cloudflare challenge WebView was configured to ALWAYS_ALLOW mixed content.

⚠️ Risk: Allowing mixed content (HTTP resources on an HTTPS page) makes the user vulnerable to Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attacks, where an attacker could intercept or inject malicious content into the unencrypted HTTP requests, potentially compromising the session or the device.

🛡️ Solution:

  1. Created a helper object WebViewUtils to encapsulate WebView configuration.
  2. Changed mixedContentMode to WebSettings.MIXED_CONTENT_NEVER_ALLOW.
  3. Refactored ReaderScreen.kt to use this secure helper.
  4. Added a unit test to enforce this security setting.

This commit changes the `mixedContentMode` setting in the Cloudflare WebView
from `MIXED_CONTENT_ALWAYS_ALLOW` to `MIXED_CONTENT_NEVER_ALLOW`. This prevents
insecure HTTP content from loading on HTTPS pages, mitigating the risk of
Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attacks.

Changes:
- Extracted WebView configuration to a new utility `WebViewUtils.kt`.
- Updated `ReaderScreen.kt` to use the secure configuration.
- Added a unit test `WebViewUtilsTest.kt` to verify the security setting.
