fix(overview): locate the cluster view by data key, not by check name

Found by the live rig, and invisible to every unit test that existed.

LeaderResolver and InstanceCard.ClusterDataLine both looked the cluster view up
under the check name "akka-cluster". ScadaBridge registers the shared
AkkaClusterHealthCheck under that name; OtOpcUa registers the SAME check as
"akka". So once the OtOpcUa rig was rebuilt on Health 0.2.0 and started
publishing data.leader, its groups still rendered with no leader chip and no
evidence line - and a group with no votes is a legitimate state, so nothing
looked wrong. ScadaBridge's four groups were fully populated the whole time,
which is what made it look like the feature worked.

Both now find the entry by the DATA KEY ("leader"), which is the part of the
contract the shared check actually owns rather than the part each consumer names
for itself.

Regression tests: the leader is found under akka-cluster, akka, and an arbitrary
future name; and an entry that publishes data WITHOUT a leader (ScadaBridge's
localdb check, whose data carries replication counters) does not get picked in
preference to the one that answers the question. Every prior fixture used
ScadaBridge's name, which is precisely why this got through.

After the fix all seven cluster groups render a leader chip with zero
split-brain flags - design section 9 check 2 now passes for BOTH products.

"PRODUCT FIX during acceptance: Program.cs now calls builder.WebHost.UseStaticWebAssets() unconditionally. The host only calls it when the environment is literally 'Development', so running the build output under any other name (checking a staging registry locally) left the Theme RCL's _content assets 404 and the page rendered as a blank white screen with its markup fully present. No-op once published, so the container was never affected.",
"RIG DEFECT (pre-existing, both products): self-first Akka seed lists mean a pair booted cold self-forms two 1-member clusters that never join. Observed fleet-wide on ScadaBridge after a --force-recreate: every node named ITSELF leader and every node answered /health/active 200. Restarting ONE node of a pair makes it join the survivor and the pair converges to one Leader + one Active + one Standby. This is the user's own open backlog item (docs/plans/2026-07-22-initjoin-selfform-fallback.md, unexecuted). The dashboard surfaced it fleet-wide in one screen, which is what it is for.",

"OTOPCUA CONTRACT GAP (not a dashboard bug, worth filing): /health/active does not answer 'am I the active node'. On the standby admin (central-2) the admin-leader check returns Degraded ('Role admin member but not leader'), and ASP.NET maps Degraded to 200 \u2014 so a standby looks Active. On driver-only nodes it returns Healthy with the description 'Active for role admin (or not a role member)', i.e. it passes vacuously for every node that is not an admin at all. Meanwhile CLAUDE.md documents the real election as the oldest Up driver member per Cluster (IsDriverPrimary, ServiceLevel 250 vs 240), which this tier never consults. For the tier to mean what MapZbHealth's status mapping implies, a non-active node must return Unhealthy (503) \u2014 which is exactly what ScadaBridge's SitePairActiveNodeHealthCheck does, and why ScadaBridge reads correctly.",
"OtOpcUa rig rebuilt from a new branch feat/mesh-phase6-health-0.2.0 = feat/mesh-phase6 + a cherry-pick of the 3-line Health 0.2.0 bump (2e515c34).
