What

Renders a placeholder on the dashboard once every widget has been closed, instead of a blank grid:

Short explanatory copy ("Keine Widgets auf dem Dashboard").
Primary CTA reusing the existing widget picker.
Secondary action that rebuilds the default widget set from scratch (GridStackLayout.resetLayout() alone can't do this — it only repositions widgets still present, and none are left once the dashboard is empty).

The placeholder is a plain Div outside GridStackLayout's light DOM — never a GridStackItem, so it's never draggable and never shows up in getLayout(). Visibility is toggled from every path that adds or removes a widget (initial build, add-widget, undo, and any close, client or programmatic).

German copy with English/Spanish translations added to all three bundles. Styled from the existing --dialect-* token layer (dashed border, matching gridstack's own placeholder aesthetic), correct in light/dark.

Tests

New browserless tests in DashboardViewTest: closing every widget shows the empty state and hides the grid; adding a widget hides it again; the restore action rebuilds the default layout.
./mvnw test green.

Closes #39
