- Improve logic in getServerStatus to properly handle different scenarios:
  - Not configured: when API key or model name is missing
  - Cannot test: when settings are configured but server is unreachable
  - Working/Error: when server is reachable and can test LLM configuration
- Add workspace field to testLLMConfiguration API request to fix 422 error
- Now shows 'Cannot test LLM configuration - server not reachable' instead of 'Not configured' when server is offline but settings are present

- Replace raw fetch calls with HttpClient from the SDK for health checks
- Use RemoteConversation.create() for LLM configuration testing
- Properly use SDK's sendMessage() method without run parameter
- This provides better consistency, error handling, and tests the SDK itself
- Maintains the same functionality while using the proper SDK APIs

Benefits:
- More maintainable code using our own SDK
- Better error handling through SDK's HttpClient
- Actually tests the SDK functionality in the health checks
- Consistent with the SDK's design patterns
