Subject: [PATCH] fix: rewrite asset and API paths for subdirectory deployments

index.html uses absolute /frontend/ paths for CSS and JS, and app.js
hardcoded const API = '/api'. In subdirectory deployments these resolve
to the wrong URL, causing unstyled HTML and broken API calls.

- index.php: rewrite /frontend/ references in index.html with detected basePath
- app.js: derive BASE_PATH from the script's own URL and prefix API calls
