WIP: fix tests

* fix: rebase conflicts

* refactor: remove app.locals references

* refactor: replace getBalanceConfig with getAppConfig in various strategies and middleware

* refactor: replace appConfig?.balance with getBalanceConfig in various controllers and clients

* test: add balance configuration to titleConvo method in AgentClient tests

* chore: remove unused `openai-chat-tokens` package

* chore: remove unused imports in initializeMCPs.js

* refactor: update balance configuration to use getAppConfig instead of getBalanceConfig

* refactor: integrate configMiddleware for centralized configuration handling

* refactor: optimize email domain validation by removing unnecessary async calls

* refactor: simplify multer storage configuration by removing async calls

* refactor: reorder imports for better readability in user.js

* refactor: replace getAppConfig calls with req.config for improved performance

* chore: remove unused override config

* refactor: add configMiddleware to endpoint route and replace getAppConfig with req.config

* chore: remove customConfig parameter from TTSService constructor

* refactor: pass appConfig from request to processFileCitations for improved configuration handling

* refactor: remove configMiddleware from endpoint route and retrieve appConfig directly in getEndpointsConfig if not in `req.config`

* test: add mockAppConfig to processFileCitations tests for improved configuration handling

* fix: pass req.config to hasCustomUserVars and call without await after synchronous refactor

* fix: type safety in useExportConversation

* refactor: retrieve appConfig using getAppConfig in PluginController and remove configMiddleware from plugins route, to avoid always retrieving when plugins are cached

* chore: change `MongoUser` typedef to `IUser`

* fix: Add `user` and `config` fields to ServerRequest and update JSDoc type annotations from Express.Request to ServerRequest

* fix: remove unused setAppConfig mock from Server configuration tests
