Verify that the user is properly logged out and the session is terminated.

Preconditions:

Postconditions:

• The user is no longer authenticated and cannot access protected resources without logging in again.
• The application is in a usable state for further testing (e.g., the login page is displayed and functional).
• Any cached data or sensitive information from the previous session is cleared from the browser.
• If the application supports multiple tabs or windows, all sessions are terminated across all tabs/windows.
