Subject: [PATCH] feat(tailscalectl): add periodic status polling and reactive
 state

Add Timer (5s interval) that runs tailscale status --json, parsing
BackendState, Self.TailscaleIPs[0], and CurrentExitNode.HostName into
isConnected, tailscaleIP, and currentExitNode properties. Parse errors
surface via ToastService.showError. Initial check runs on load.

Closes #4
