Point the client to a configurable live server (live API, events and data file) and accept both JSON and plain-text list formats. Update app.js to parse JSON or text responses, use live EventSource and PUT endpoints, and fall back to the live data file when needed.
On the server side, add BASE_PATH support (trim trailing slash) and normalize request paths so the app can be mounted under a subpath. Add setCorsHeaders and enable CORS (including handling OPTIONS preflight) for API, events and file responses, return proper headers on errors, and log the base path at startup. These changes enable cross-origin access and deployment under a base path while improving robustness of list parsing.
