Problem

Clicking 'Conferences' in the dock opens a window whose iframe src is http://127.0.0.1:9988/hero_livekit/ui/. That URL 404s with body Socket 'ui.sock' not found for 'hero_livekit' because the hero_livekit service isn't running locally — but the dock advertises the island unconditionally.

Repro

curl -s -L -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}\n" http://127.0.0.1:9988/hero_livekit/ui/
# → 404
curl -s -L http://127.0.0.1:9988/hero_livekit/ui/
# → Socket 'ui.sock' not found for 'hero_livekit'

In the UI: Communication dock → Conferences → empty window with just the title bar (iframe inside is the 404 page).

Closed #43 fixed the URL pattern for iframe islands (/hero_<svc>/ui/). My URL is correct — the problem is the backing service isn't running. Open #110 (Conference Room island TODOs) is about the room island, not the livekit island.

Suggested fix (one or both)

Treat unreachable backing-service islands the way other not-installed services are treated — render the 'Waiting for hero_<name>…' placeholder instead of a 404 iframe (consistent with the existing pattern called out in qa/FINDINGS.md for Books / Proxy / Voice / etc.).
Hide the dock entry entirely when the service is not registered with hero_router. (See sibling hero_os ticket about advertising stale islands.)
