Remove mockUserStats fallback when live stats API is unavailable

[josephchimebuka]

Problem

Dashboard.tsx passes stats || mockUserStats into StatsCard, so contributors and players see fabricated numbers whenever statsApi.getUserStats() returns null or before the fetch completes. The component header still carries a stale ISSUE comment about wiring live stats even though the fetch path already exists.

Scope

• Stop silently substituting mockUserStats in the dashboard stats panel
• Show an honest empty or retry state when live stats are unavailable
• Keep mock fixtures for tests/Storybook only (not production UI fallback)
• Update Dashboard.test.tsx expectations accordingly

Acceptance criteria

• Connected wallet + successful API response renders live stats
• Connected wallet + null/error response shows empty/error UI (no mock numbers)
• Disconnected wallet does not render misleading stats
• pnpm test and pnpm build pass

Files

• src/pages/Dashboard.tsx
• src/components/StatsCard.tsx
• src/pages/Dashboard.test.tsx
• src/data/mockData.ts (tests only)

I'd like to contribute to this issue.
I'll begin by examining the existing component structure and identifying where the change should be introduced. My goal will be to implement the feature without unnecessarily changing unrelated parts of the application.
I'll pay attention to component reusability, state handling, responsiveness, and consistency with the existing UI. After implementation, I'll test the relevant user flows and submit a focused PR.

I’d like to contribute to this issue. I have experience with React, TypeScript, and API-driven UI, and can remove the production mock fallback, implement honest loading/error states, update the tests, and ensure the build passes.
