refactor: move node definition loading from bootstrapStore to nodeDefStore

- Extract loadNodeDefs action to nodeDefStore for better separation of concerns
- Add initializeFromBackend action to nodeDefStore that handles full initialization
- Simplify bootstrapStore by delegating node def loading to nodeDefStore
- Update app.ts to use new nodeDefStore.initializeFromBackend method
- Expand test coverage for both stores
