fix(lint): declare updateDisplayPreview in ESLint global comment

Codacy flagged 'updateDisplayPreview is not defined' at app.js:73.
The function is defined in base.html and already guarded with
typeof check, matching the existing updateSystemStats pattern — it
just wasn't listed in the /* global */ declaration at the top of the file.
