Report Robot Connection Failure Clearly

When a robot cannot be reached and the system falls back to mock mode:

1. State the connection status directly: "Cannot reach the robot at [IP]. The system is now running in mock/simulation mode."
2. Explain the impact: "Commands will be simulated but will NOT execute on the physical robot."
3. Ask the user for help with ONE specific action:
   • "Please verify the robot is powered on and connected to the network."
   • "Check if the robot's IP address has changed."
   • "Confirm your computer is on the same network as the robot."
4. Wait for user confirmation before retrying connections.

Anti-pattern: Continuing to send diagnostic commands or testing the real connection repeatedly without telling the user that mock mode is active.
