* feat: add flags to disable slow health and latest version checks

- Introduce --no-health and --no-latest CLI flags
- Support HD_NO_HEALTH and HD_NO_LATEST environment variables
- Skip slow k8s health checks and latest version fetching when flags are set
- Optimize frontend data fetching based on these flags

* chore: fix lint errors in InstalledPackageCard.tsx

* chore: remove accidental lockfile changes
