Update development server port and enhance GPU status reporting

- Changed the development server port in package.json from 17493 to 8000 for dev.
- Improved GPU availability checks in main.py to include support for MPS on Apple Silicon.
- Removed the Assets.car file from version control as it is no longer needed.
- Updated .gitignore to reflect the removal of Assets.car.
