feat(dashboard+api): card-based dashboard, camelCase API, UTC fixes

Dashboard: new Syncfusion card layout, global stats, filters, health bars, active event display, client details, bulk restart, 15s auto-refresh, manual refresh toasts
API: standardized responses to camelCase; added serializers.py and updated events endpoints
Time: ensured UTC storage; frontend appends 'Z' for parsing and displays local time
Docs: updated copilot-instructions.md, README.md, TECH-CHANGELOG.md
Program Info: bumped to 2025.1.0-alpha.12 with user-facing changelog
BREAKING: external API consumers must migrate field names from PascalCase to camelCase.
