Austin Horstman 2a748f1a56 fix(sni): delay tray item insertion until proxies are ready
Only add tray widgets after the SNI proxy has finished initializing and the
item has a valid id/category pair.

This also removes invalid items through the host teardown path, refreshes the
tray when item status changes, and avoids calling DBus methods through a null
proxy during early clicks or scroll events.
