Integrate WebSocket client in the React frontend for real-time updates.

## Requirements

### WebSocket Connection
- Connect to /ws/containers on app mount
- Reconnect on disconnect with exponential backoff
- Connection status indicator

### Message Handling
- Parse container update messages
- Update React state/cache on container changes
- Handle job progress updates
- Toast notifications for important events

### State Management
- Use React Query or similar for cache invalidation
- Optimistic updates where appropriate
- Sync WebSocket updates with query cache

## Testing Instructions

1. Open the container list page
2. Verify WebSocket connection established (check devtools Network tab)
3. In another terminal, create a container via API:
   ```bash
   curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/api/containers \
     -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
     -H 'X-API-Key: your-key' \
     -d '{"name": "ws-test", "image_type": "desktop"}'
   ```
4. Verify the new container appears in real-time without refresh
5. Stop the API server - verify reconnection attempts
6. Restart API server - verify reconnection succeeds
7. Create multiple containers rapidly and verify all updates received

## Implementation Complete ### Changes Made 1. **Created `useContainerWebSocket` hook** (`frontend/src/lib/use-container-websocket.tsx`): - Connects to `/ws/containers` WebSocket endpoint on mount - Implements exponential backoff reconnection (1s initial, 2x multiplier, 30s max) - Tracks connection status: `connecting`, `connected`, `reconnecting`, `disconnected` - Uses refs to avoid stale closures and React hooks best practices - Supports callbacks for container updates and job progress - Shows toast notifications for container events (running, stopped, error, deleted) - Handles authentication failure gracefully (code 1008) - Also provides a `WebSocketProvider` context for app-wide usage 2. **Created `ConnectionStatusIndicator` component** (`frontend/src/components/ui/connection-status.tsx`): - Visual indicator showing WebSocket connection state - Icons: Wifi (connected), WifiOff (disconnected), Loader2 (connecting/reconnecting) - Shows reconnection attempt count when reconnecting - Optional label display 3. **Updated containers page** (`frontend/src/app/containers/page.tsx`): - Integrated `useContainerWebSocket` hook for real-time updates - Updates existing containers in-place when status changes - Removes containers when status is "deleted" - Refetches list when a new container appears (not yet in local state) - Falls back to 5-second polling when WebSocket is not connected - Shows connection status indicator next to the refresh button ### Testing Verification - ESLint passes with no errors - TypeScript compilation successful - Next.js build completes without issues - Backend WebSocket tests pass (33 tests) - Health endpoint tests pass (11 tests) ### How to Test 1. Open the container list page 2. Check for the connection status indicator (Wifi icon) next to the refresh button 3. Set an API token in localStorage: `localStorage.setItem('api_token', 'your-key')` 4. Verify WebSocket connection (indicator turns green, shows "Connected" on hover) 5. Create a container via API - should appear in real-time without refresh 6. Stop/start containers - status should update in real-time with toast notifications 7. Stop the API server - verify reconnection attempts (indicator shows spinner) 8. Restart API server - verify reconnection succeeds with toast
