Show a recovery screen for app render errors (#1924)

* fix(app): show recovery screen for render failures

Render a retryable fallback with useful error details when the routed app tree throws during render instead of leaving the app blank.

* test(app): cover root error details without mounting

Move caught-value formatting into a pure module, cover AggregateError fields without duplicate output, and remove the component-mounted test.

* fix(app): keep empty error details caught

* fix(app): preserve nullable aggregate errors

* fix(app): guard malformed error details

* fix(app): handle recursive error causes

* fix(app): guard error detail formatting failures

* fix(app): localize root error fallback

* fix(app): keep root error fallback on existing i18n
