CyberMind-FR d1788a12ff feat(luci-app-crowdsec-dashboard): Add graceful error handling when service stopped
Enhanced dashboard UX when CrowdSec service is not running:

API module (api.js):
- Modified getDashboardData() to handle error responses gracefully
- Returns empty arrays/objects for stats when service is stopped
- Includes error flag in response data

Overview module (overview.js):
- Added 'fs' module import for service control
- Added startCrowdSec() function to start service from UI
- Display warning banner when service is stopped
- Provide actionable message with start service link

Dashboard CSS (dashboard.css):
- Added .cs-warning-banner styles for error messages
- Professional warning styling with icon and content layout

This resolves XHR timeout errors by showing friendly error messages
instead of hanging requests.

    --cs-accent-green: #00d4aa;
    /* ... modify colors as needed */
}

Adding New Metrics

  1. Add RPC method in /root/usr/libexec/rpcd/crowdsec
  2. Declare RPC call in /htdocs/luci-static/resources/crowdsec-dashboard/api.js
  3. Create UI component in the appropriate view file
