Pull Request Overview

This PR removes early validation of topic existence/permissions in favor of allowing Kafka to handle authorization checks directly. The change updates the topic validation logic to proceed with operations even when topics are not visible in metadata, which could be due to ACL restrictions.

• Removes error messages and suggestions related to topic validation failures
• Updates ValidateTopic functions to log and continue instead of returning errors
• Shifts authorization handling from CLI pre-validation to Kafka server-side validation
