+  - Fix: the "Last Execution" panel stayed on "Loading..." forever when there was no logged execution
+    (e.g. a fresh server / no tool run yet), because `loadLastExecution()` only rendered the panel when
+    the backend returned a non-null execution; the empty state is now rendered via the existing
