Backend: notifications now show a plain "-" for an absent name, vendor, or
device type (was empty string / "(unknown)" / "Unknown"), via a single
UNKNOWN_PLACEHOLDER constant.
Frontend:
- Empty/unknown values render as an em dash everywhere, centralised in a new
Placeholders.emptyValue constant (replaces inline '—' and '(unknown)').
- Route paths moved to a new Routes class, used by the router and every
navigation call site.
- Device event type modelled as a DeviceEventType enum mirroring the backend
(NewDevice/DeviceSeen) instead of bare string comparisons.
- Hardcoded EdgeInsets/SizedBox spacing replaced with existing Insets tokens.
Tests and formatting updated; all backend and frontend tests pass.

Adds a centralized BackendReachability singleton fed by a Dio
interceptor (connection-level failures only) and connectivity_plus.
PolledValue subscribes to it and pauses on offline / reloads
immediately on reconnect, replacing the previous per-card error
cascade. MainShell renders a global OfflineBanner with Retry and
Settings actions; cards downgrade error→stale when offline so the
banner is the only red element.

The four polling status cards (ARP, mDNS, scanners summary, devices
summary) each rolled their own Timer/_status/_error/_isLoading state and
flipped to a red 'Error' UI on the first failed poll, throwing away
last-known-good data that was still in memory. A momentary backend blip
made every card flash red.
Introduce PolledValue<T>, a ChangeNotifier that owns the periodic timer,
in-flight CancelToken, last value, last error, and a freshness
classification (initialLoading / fresh / stale / error). 'stale' kicks in
on the first failure but keeps the value visible; 'error' only takes over
after staleErrorAfter elapses without a success (30s for the 5s scanner
polls, 3min for the 1min device-summary poll). All four cards now branch
on freshness and show a small live-updating warning icon with a tooltip
('Last updated N ago — <error>') while stale, instead of flipping red.
Also threads CancelToken? through the three polled GET endpoints.

- Convert ArpScannerCard to a self-managing StatefulWidget (owns its own 5s refresh + 1s tick timers), removing the duplicated state management that existed in both HomeScreen and StatusScreen
- Extract NotificationCard to home/notification_card.dart
- Extract DeviceSummaryCard (with its 1-min refresh timer) to widgets/device_summary_card.dart
- HomeScreen drops from 515 to 253 lines; StatusScreen from 82 to 19 lines
