fix(#7216): harden health dashboard node and incident rendering

[Yzgaming005]

Summary

Replace innerHTML template interpolation with safe DOM construction (textContent + class whitelisting) across the health dashboard surfaces for issue #7216. The current code interpolates server-supplied node fields (node.name, node.location, node.origin, node.version, node.error, plus incident event/detail/node) into innerHTML and into class="${...}" attribute strings. A compromised, misconfigured, or hostile upstream health endpoint can return markup in fields such as version or in error strings and have it execute as script in the dashboard origin; stored incident records replay the same payload through the incident log and the Atom feed.

Changes

• status/index.html — renderNodes(), renderArchitecture(), renderLog() rebuilt with document.createElement + textContent. Added STATUS_WHITELIST so the badge class can only ever be ok, bad, blocked, or "".
• status/templates/status.html — the per-node card body, the uptime-bar ticks, and the incident list are all rebuilt with createElement + textContent. Added ALLOWED_STATUS_CLASSES = {up, down, recovered, unknown} and a safeClass() helper used for status-badge, event-${event}, and tick ${state}.
• website/static/network-status.html and docs/network-status.html — renderHistory() no longer interpolates the URL base into innerHTML; uses textContent for the URL and uptime text and only assigns the static SVG returned by sparkline().
• status/test_status.py:
  • Rewrote TestAPI.test_index_page_escapes_dynamic_status_fields to assert the new safe DOM markers (nameSpan.textContent = node.name, badge.textContent = …, evt.textContent = …) and explicitly forbid card.innerHTML / incEl.innerHTML / raw ${node.name} / ${i.detail?' · '+i.detail:''} interpolation.
  • Added TestStaticDashboardFiles with two tests covering status/index.html and both network-status.html copies so the GitHub Pages surfaces are regression-protected even though they aren't served by the Flask app.

Files: 5 changed (+281 / -86).

Why this approach

The existing code mixed escapeHtml() (HTML text) with raw ${...} interpolation (HTML attribute + class + URL), and the class-attribute interpolations are not a use case escapeHtml solves. Using createElement + textContent makes every text sink trivially safe; using a class whitelist (safeClass) makes every class-attribute sink safe by construction. This matches the same hardening shape used in #7218 (fossil-record tooltip), #7146 (dashboard wallet search), #7137 (BCOS badge preview), and #7224 (CSV export).

Trade-offs considered:

• Stripping markup from version/error text vs. accepting HTML. — Opted to treat these as plain text. They are telemetry, not user-authored markup, and rendering them as text keeps the dashboard safe even if the upstream /health or /api/incidents endpoint is compromised.
• DOM construction vs. textContent + replaceChildren. — Used a mix to keep the diff readable; replaceChildren(...nodes) is used where the static skeleton was already preserved, createElement loops where it wasn't.

Testing

$ cd status && python -m pytest test_status.py -v
============================== 19 passed in 21.34s ==============================

All 19 tests in status/test_status.py pass, including:

• TestAPI::test_index_page_escapes_dynamic_status_fields (rewritten)
• TestStaticDashboardFiles::test_status_index_html_escapes_node_and_incident_fields (new)
• TestStaticDashboardFiles::test_network_status_html_escapes_base_and_message (new)
• TestAPI::test_rss_feed_escapes_incident_fields (unchanged — server-side RSS already escaped via xml_text)

The existing CI test tests/test_docs_network_status_security.py (7 tests) also still passes:

$ python -m pytest tests/test_docs_network_status_security.py -v
============================== 7 passed in 0.10s ==============================

Manual verification

JS syntax check across all 4 edited HTML files:

$ for f in status/index.html status/templates/status.html \
           website/static/network-status.html docs/network-status.html; do
    node --check <(python3 -c "import re,sys; \
      print(re.search(r'<script>(.*?)</script>', \
        open('$f').read(), re.DOTALL).group(1))") && echo OK $f
  done
OK status/index.html
OK status/templates/status.html
OK website/static/network-status.html
OK docs/network-status.html

Smoke render of templates/status.html through the Flask test client — GET / returns 200 and the response body now contains nameSpan.textContent = node.name, badge.textContent = …, evt.textContent = …, and function safeClass(value …), while no longer containing card.innerHTML, incEl.innerHTML, ${node.name}, or ${i.detail?' · '+i.detail:''}.

Trade-offs

• The static GitHub Pages copies (status/index.html, docs/network-status.html, website/static/network-status.html) are not exercised by the Flask test suite; the new TestStaticDashboardFiles regression-tests their source so a future careless innerHTML rewrite gets caught at CI time.
• The dashboard no longer renders any inline HTML in version, error, incident.message, or node.name. Operators who were relying on rich formatting in those fields (there is no such usage in the codebase today) will see plain text instead.

Closes #7216
