Present REST polling as a normal live state

Some browsers (notably iOS Safari on an auth-gated page) abort the wss://
upgrade even though the server accepts it. Rather than showing a perpetual
"reconnecting", stop retrying after three failures, poll every 3s, and label
the badge "live (polling)" in green. The socket error is kept as a tooltip.
