fix(settings): stabilize search query flow and update dependencies

This change refactors the search query debounce mechanism in SettingsViewModel to prevent the screen from flickering to an empty state while typing. It also brings all core libraries up to date with the latest releases, bumps app version to 0.9.8.

- Convert `debouncedSearchQuery` from a computed property to a standard value in `SettingsViewModel` to reuse the Flow pipeline.
- Bump library versions

VERSION: 0.9.7 -> 0.9.8
