fix(#7146): harden dashboard wallet search error rendering with textContent

[Yzgaming005]

Summary

Replace the wallet-search .catch() error path in node/rustchain_dashboard.py with safe DOM construction so exception text never flows through an innerHTML parser sink.

Changes

• node/rustchain_dashboard.py — wallet search .catch() no longer interpolates err.message into an innerHTML template; it clears the result container with replaceChildren(), builds the heading and message paragraph with document.createElement, and writes the exception text via textContent.
• tests/test_rustchain_dashboard_frontend_security.py — drop the now-obsolete err = escapeHtml(err.message || err); assertion and add test_dashboard_search_error_path_uses_textcontent_sink, a focused regression guard that forbids the old innerHTML template and requires the new textContent path.

Why this approach

The current .catch() block already escaped the exception, but the surrounding pattern keeps a parser-sink on a path that could regress if the escape step is removed or weakened. Switching to textContent makes the safety property structural (no HTML parser touches the user-controlled string), which matches the hardening already applied to neighbouring dashboard UI paths. replaceChildren() is preferred over innerHTML = '' for the same reason — the catch path no longer references innerHTML at all.

Manual verification (JS syntax + module load):

$ node --check <(python3 -c "import re,sys; print(re.search(r'<script>([\\s\\S]*?)</script>', open('node/rustchain_dashboard.py').read()).group(1))")
JS OK
$ python3 -c "import importlib.util; spec=importlib.util.spec_from_file_location('dash','node/rustchain_dashboard.py'); m=importlib.util.module_from_spec(spec); spec.loader.exec_module(m); print('module loaded:', m.app)"
module loaded: <Flask 'dash'>

Trade-offs

• Visible error styling is unchanged — only the DOM construction method changed.
• Other innerHTML paths in the file (miners table, blocks table, success/not-found wallet results) are out of scope for this issue and are tracked separately.

Closes #7146
