Remove Unused Dependency: Cached-property

[gdrosos]

Summary

This pull request removes the unused dependency cached-property from the poetry.lock and requirements-ram.txt configuration files. The removal of this dependency is a finding from ongoing research aimed at identifying and eliminating code bloat within software projects.

Rationale

The cached-property library was first introduced to the project in f60d4e0. However, it was subsequently replaced by functools.cached_property in 42ac098. Despite its replacement in the source code, cached-property has persisted as a requirement in some of the project's dependency files. The removal of this now redundant dependency will reduce the app's footprint and streamline dependency management.

Changes

• Removed the cached-property dependency from poetry.lock.
• Removed the cached-property dependency from requirements-ram.txt.

Impact

• Reduced Package Size: By excluding the cached-property library, the overall size of the installed packages will be decreased.
• Simplified Dependency Tree: Reducing dependencies simplifies maintenance and can expedite installation.
