fix: resolve dashboard websocket 'disconnected' status

- Fixed status indicator UI mapping in websocket.js and index.html.
- Added missing CSS for connection status indicator and pulse animation.
- Made initial model registry fetch asynchronous to prevent blocking server startup.
- Improved configuration loading to correctly handle LLM_PROXY__SERVER__PORT from environment.
