Subject: [PATCH] fix: correct status for services with all containers excluded
 from health checks
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

When all services in a Docker Compose file have `exclude_from_hc: true`,
the status aggregation logic was returning invalid states causing broken UI.

**Problems fixed:**
- ComplexStatusCheck returned 'running:healthy' for apps with no monitored containers
- Service model returned ':' (null status) when all services excluded
- UI showed active start/stop buttons for non-running services

**Changes:**
- ComplexStatusCheck: Return 'exited:healthy' when relevantContainerCount is 0
- Service model: Return 'exited:healthy' when both status and health are null
- Added comprehensive unit tests to verify the fixes
