Fix RMSE baseline hline and R2 axis clipping on Overview chart

- bsl now uses api_metrics baseline_rmse instead of perf_df["rmse"].iloc[0],
which was picking up a high mid-drift value and flattening the visual scale
- R2 y-axis range now scales dynamically to include negative values (was
hard-coded [0, 1.05], clipping data points during peak degradation)
- Add unit + Selenium tests for both fixes (34 tests, all passing locally)
