### No demo mode handling in local clusters
Show mock clusters when in demo mode

Suggested Improvements

• Implement detection for kind, k3d, and minikube tools
• Add cluster creation UI with tool selection and naming
• Show cluster status (running/stopped) with visual indicators
• Add cluster deletion with confirmation dialog
• Check agent connectivity before showing cluster management
• Show loading spinners during create/delete operations
• Display installation instructions when no tools are detected
• Add manual refresh button to update cluster list
• Handle demo mode with mock cluster data
