Subject: [PATCH] Fix auth: preserve localStorage persistentID on network
 errors (#2636)

If this PR fixes an issue, link it below. If not, delete these two
lines.
Resolves #(issue number)

## Description:

When refreshJwt() fails due to network errors (auth server unreachable),
only clear __jwt instead of calling logOut(). This preserves the
player_persistent_id in localStorage for dev mode fallback.

## Please complete the following:

- [x] I have added screenshots for all UI updates
- [x] I process any text displayed to the user through translateText()
and I've added it to the en.json file
- [x] I have added relevant tests to the test directory
- [x] I confirm I have thoroughly tested these changes and take full
responsibility for any bugs introduced

## Please put your Discord username so you can be contacted if a bug or
regression is found:
