ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 ec95340d4a feat(web): a start that waits for the display answers 202 and is delivered in the background
The start route held a request open for up to 45 s while a cold-started
display loaded its plugins; the MQTT bridge (15 s timeout) and browsers
reported a failure for a request that was then delivered.

Now, when no display is listening, the route starts the service if asked
and answers 202 with status "starting" at once. A single worker in the web
process (web_interface/on_demand_dispatch.py) sends the request until the
display acknowledges it or the wait runs out (45 s cold start, 10 s for a
running service without a socket yet). A newer start supersedes the
pending one; a stop cancels it (and succeeds, with cancelled_request_id,
even with no display listening). The outcome is reported by
/display/on-demand/status (source "web": starting, or error with
start-timeout or the socket's reason, until the display publishes
something newer) and by /display/current-status as on_demand_pending.

Callers: the web UI's on-demand modal and "Preview on display" treat
"starting" as taken (an info toast); the MQTT bridge already treats any
non-error 2xx as success (now pinned by a test).

Tests: the dispatcher (ack, retry then ack, start-timeout, other failures,
superseded, an in-flight ack for a superseded start, stop while pending,
a per-start wait, outcome lifetime); the routes (202, status routes while
pending and after a timeout, a later display state replacing the failure,
stop while pending, a new start superseding); a JS suite for app.js.
Mutation check: 20 mutants on the worker, the routes and app.js, 20 killed.
