Replace embedded flag with same-origin API probe

- Server serves frontend verbatim (drop window.PYSIM_EMBEDDED injection)
- Frontend probes /api/version once; res.ok -> relative base + cleared URL input,
  otherwise fall back to http://127.0.0.1:8080
- sw.js: never intercept/cache /api/* (live card data)
