Launching a liveview app should never return

Error message

Launching a liveview app should never return

What it means

The liveview launch function's Tokio runtime block_on returned after the server future completed, which should be impossible for a persistent liveview server. The trailing panic enforces the invariant that a liveview app runs forever.
