Root cause of "whiteboard stuck on old content, no errors anywhere": the Node sidecar had crashed at some point and, since it was just a bare backgrounded process with nothing supervising it, stayed dead permanently. Every refresh since then hit connection-refused, which get_or_refresh_whiteboard treats as a soft failure and falls back to the last successfully cached image -- so it looked exactly like a caching bug from the outside, silently, forever, with no error visible anywhere except a crash trace that had already scrolled out of the log buffer. Wrap it in a restart loop instead of a bare `&` so a future crash (a still-unknown third jsdom/Excalidraw edge case, most likely) is a few-second hiccup instead of a silent permanent outage.
