When credentials are wrong or the printer is unreachable, the web UI shows no clear error message — users only see that there is no connection without any explanation.

A visible error message (e.g. "MQTT connection failed: wrong credentials" or "Printer unreachable") would help users diagnose setup problems quickly.

Fixed in v0.9.2.

The Web-UI now shows a red banner at the top of the page when the bridge cannot connect to the printer. The banner displays the specific error (e.g. "Wrong MQTT credentials" or "Printer unreachable (192.168.x.x)") and disappears automatically once the connection is restored.
