Revert_To_CBOR2_Serialization

Reverted the local cache serialization pipeline from standard `json` back to `cbor2`.

        PURPOSE:
        To align the codebase with collaborator preferences. The previous architectural update migrating away from `cbor2` was intended to mitigate `pyo3_runtime.PanicException` crashes triggered by malformed local cache files. However, the subsequent addition of the broad `except Exception` catch block natively handles these panics by falling through to a fresh network request. With the panics safely neutralized, the serialization backend can be reverted to `cbor2` without compromising system resilience, satisfying team dynamics while maintaining stability.

        IMPLEMENTATION DETAILS:
        - `pyproject.toml`: Re-inserted `cbor2` into the project dependency array. Because the project utilizes `uv run dev.sh`, `uv` will automatically detect this updated toml file and natively re-install the package before execution.
        - `cache.py`: Removed the `import json as stdlib_json` alias and restored `import cbor2`.
        - `cache.py`: Reverted the cache file suffix builder from `.json` to `.cbor`. This naturally orphans any leftover `.json.xz` files from the previous version, immediately bypassing them in favor of downloading fresh data to generate `.cbor.xz` files.
        - `cache.py`: Swapped `stdlib_json.loads(f.read())` back to `cbor2.load(f)` for binary decompression reading.
        - `cache.py`: Swapped `f.write(stdlib_json.dumps(data).encode('utf-8'))` back to `cbor2.dump(data, f)` for binary writing.
        - Preserved the critical `except Exception as e:` block and updated its hyper-documentation to explain its function as a safety net specifically against `cbor2` Rust backend panics.
