- The lite VNC page took the proxy's host, port and path from its link. A
link naming another host made the page send that host a fresh signed
console token, which opened the VM's console for two minutes. The page
now uses only what the server gives it, like the full page.
- On a local-socket host, a VM whose console listens on 127.0.0.1 is
reached directly instead of being refused for want of an SSH tunnel.
- A shut-off VM's console says that the VM is not running instead of
failing with no reason.
Only an administrator chose whether the VNC console fits the remote
screen to the window (Settings, or ?scale= in the URL). A Scale switch
in the console menu now flips between fitted and 1:1 with scrollbars,
starting from that setting. On a phone, where noVNC takes the touch
screen as the mouse and the 1:1 view cannot be scrolled, it is the way
to see the whole screen.

readQueryVariable('token', ...) preferred the unsigned host-uuid token
from the URL, which novncd rejects; use the signed token the view
renders, like the full page does.
- Validate and coerce console query parameters (view_only, scale, resize_session, clip_viewport) to strict booleans via to_bool in console/views.py
- Sanitize view parameter to strictly 'lite' or 'full'
- Apply escapejs filter to all JS string interpolations in console-vnc-full.html, console-vnc-lite.html, console-spice-lite.html, and console-xterm.html
- Replace unsafe '| safe' filter in console-spice-lite.html with escapejs
- Add unit tests for XSS query param mitigation and escapejs character encoding
- Upgrade vendored noVNC library in static/js/novnc/ from 1.2.0 to 1.7.0
- Remove obsolete IE11 polyfills (promise.js, browser-es-module-loader)
- Preserve custom app/styles/lite.css for embedded lite view
- Update console-vnc-full.html stylesheets, modern icon set, and dialogs
- Modernize console-vnc-full.html startup via UI.start() with Django context mapping
- Dynamically resolve package.json and localization dictionaries via import.meta.url
