feat(gui): wrap immapp.run in try/except + add /api/gui_health endpoint

PR2 of the test_full_live_workflow_imgui_assert fix sequence.

When an ImGui scope mismatch (IM_ASSERT(Missing End())) fires in
immapp.run (e.g. after cumulative state corruption from prior sims'
panel renders), the RuntimeError propagates out of app.run(). The
controller's _io_pool gets shut down via __del__/finalization. The
hook server (separate ThreadingHTTPServer) survives. Subsequent test
clicks fail with 'cannot schedule new futures after shutdown' and
the test times out after 120s with no clear signal of what went
wrong.

This commit:
1. Wraps immapp.run in try/except RuntimeError in gui_2.py:618.
   On assertion: logs the error to stderr (NOT silent), records
   it on controller._gui_degraded_reason and _last_imgui_assert,
   and returns from run() so the hook server keeps serving.
2. Adds _gui_degraded_reason and _last_imgui_assert to
   AppController.__init__ (initialized to None).
3. Adds /api/gui_health endpoint in api_hooks.py:148. Returns
   {healthy, degraded_reason, last_assert, io_pool_alive}.
4. Adds ApiHookClient.get_gui_health() with the matching unit
   tests (3 mocked tests + 1 live test).

Per user feedback 2026-06-08:
- The wrap does NOT silently swallow the error. It logs at ERROR
  level and surfaces it via the health endpoint.
- Tests can call client.get_gui_health() to detect a degraded GUI
  and fail fast with a clear message.

TDD: tests written first, confirmed to fail, then fix applied.
34/34 unit tests pass. 1/1 live test passes (live_gui health
endpoint reports healthy=True on fresh subprocess).
