feat: Enhance Nostr chat encryption with key validation and logging

- Implement validation for private and public keys before encryption, ensuring they are present and in the correct hex format.
- Add detailed console logging for key lengths and encryption success, improving debugging and transparency in the message encryption process.
- Refactor the encryption call to use validated keys, enhancing security and reliability.
