Fixes #811

Changes

OFFLINE Status Fix (`base.html`)

Bug fix: connectStatusWs() had catch(e) { return; } which silently abandoned reconnection if the WebSocket constructor threw — leaving status permanently OFFLINE. Now schedules a retry with the existing exponential backoff.
UX fix: Changed "OFFLINE" label to "Reconnecting..." — more accurate since we always retry, and friendlier per the issue requirements.

WebGL Context Loss Handling (`static/world/index.html`)

WebGL detection: Checks for WebGL support before initialising Three.js. Shows a text-only fallback view (with live mood/activity data) if unsupported.
Mobile detection: Detects coarse-pointer small-viewport devices and shows the same friendly fallback instead of a broken 3D scene.
Context lost overlay: Registers webglcontextlost / webglcontextrestored event handlers. On loss, shows "Timmy is taking a quick break — back in a moment" overlay and halts the animation loop. On restore, hides the overlay and resumes rendering cleanly.
Live state sync: Fallback view stays in sync with the WebSocket state reader (mood + activity text).

New CSS (`static/world/style.css`)

#gpu-error-overlay — full-screen context loss overlay
#webgl-fallback — text-only mode for unsupported devices / mobile

- Fix WebSocket reconnect bug: catch block in connectStatusWs() returned
  without scheduling a retry, causing permanent OFFLINE on constructor
  failure. Now retries with exponential backoff.
- Change OFFLINE label to "Reconnecting..." — more accurate and friendlier
  since we always attempt to reconnect automatically.
- Add WebGL support detection before Three.js renderer init — shows
  text-only fallback view with mood/activity for unsupported browsers.
- Add mobile detection (coarse pointer + small viewport) — shows the
  same friendly fallback rather than a broken 3D scene.
- Add webglcontextlost / webglcontextrestored handlers — shows "Timmy is
  taking a quick break" overlay with auto-retry on context loss; halts
  the animation loop to avoid cascading errors and resumes cleanly on
  restore.
- Keep fallback view in sync with live state (mood/activity from WS).
