Refactor AppHeader and AreaTabs components for improved layout and functionality

- Adjusted AppHeader.vue for better spacing and alignment of elements, enhancing the overall visual appeal.
- Updated AreaTabs.vue to include a new 'Start' tab with a home icon, improving navigation options.
- Modified route handling in AreaTabs.vue to dynamically determine the current area based on the route.
- Changed default redirect destination in useAuth.ts to the root path for a more intuitive user experience.
- Enhanced index.vue to provide a more welcoming message and improved content presentation.

These changes aim to enhance user navigation and overall experience within the application.
