fix: prevent segfault in CIRA cleanup and EOF errors in hardware collection (#776)

1. Initialize APF session timer to prevent nil pointer dereference
   during CIRA connection cleanup.
2. Replace direct CIM.Chip.Get() calls with Enumerate+Pull pattern to handle
   empty/malformed chip data gracefully and prevent connection termination.
