Good improvement. Moves KaTeX from blocking head tags to on-demand loading with proper dedup via shared promise. Correct error recovery (retry on failure). renderLatex() interface preserved. Insertion point in webchat.rs is correct.

Summary
This PR fixes first-paint blocking caused by globally loading KaTeX assets in the dashboard.
In some regions, loading assets from cdn.jsdelivr.net can be very slow or even time out, which may leave the page blank until those requests complete.
KaTeX is now loaded only when math content is actually present, so regular pages/chats render faster and are no longer blocked by KaTeX CDN fetches.
