Subject: [PATCH] feat: Display runtime connection string in dashboard
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Added connection string display to System Information section of dashboard.

- Injected IConfiguration into DashboardController
- Added ConnectionString to ViewData
- Displayed in monospace code format for easy reading
- Shows actual runtime connection string from configuration
- Helps verify which database file is being used in different environments

This makes it easier to troubleshoot database location issues, especially
when deploying to different environments (Development, Production, CT109, etc.).
