Subject: [PATCH] Add duplicate scan session handling in SocketClient

- Implemented a check in the `startScanSession` method to prevent starting a new scan session if one is already in progress for the same session ID.
- Added logging to inform when a duplicate scan session is ignored, enhancing visibility into scan session management.
- Updated callback behavior to indicate when a scan session is already running, improving user feedback during scan operations.
