Claude Code: Fix Cain - ensure clean status initialization on app startup

- Add _init_cain_status() function to clean stale "unknown" errors from all status file locations
- Ensure health and error_display fields are always set
- Create clean status file if missing
- This should fix the "Error: unknown" display issue in the Space
