On a machine with wireguard-tools installed but no tunnel up — core, which is
the machine the console opens on — the tunnel list was a nil slice, which is
null in JSON, and the page took its length. That throws, React unmounts the
whole tree, and what is left is a blank window with nothing to go on.
Two fixes, because either alone leaves the failure possible. The parse returns
an empty list rather than nil, with a test that pins the marshalled shape; and
the page treats a missing list as an empty one, so a node still running an older
build cannot blank the console either.
And the reason a small mistake had such a large blast radius: nothing caught it.
Each page now renders inside a boundary, so a fault costs that page and says
what it was, while the rail, the switcher and every other tab carry on. The
terminals are deliberately left outside it — they hold live WebSockets, and
remounting them to recover from somebody else's error would drop the sessions.
