feat: ensure periodic data updates for app stability

Added instructions to README for regularly triggering `/cron/` to keep the app's cached data updated. Modified `main.py` to initialize `global_ibles` even when using a WSGI server, ensuring data consistency. This change improves the reliability and performance of the app by maintaining up-to-date data.

Relates to #9
