### Description
This PR fixes issue #6667.
The query tool no longer crashes when the network or server returns an error.
## Problem
The query tool tried to read every response as JSON.
When the Overpass API returned an error page or the request failed, this caused unclear errors like:
`JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data`
## Solution
The tool now checks the response status before reading JSON.
```
if (!response.ok) {
throw new Error(`HTTP ${response.status}: ${response.statusText}`);
}
```
If the request fails, it shows a clear message, for example:
`HTTP 504: Gateway Timeout`
### How has this been tested?
- Linting passes (eslint, erb_lint, rubocop)
- Manually testing network failure using browser offline mode
The tool now shows “Failed to fetch”
- Normal queries still work as expected
Fixes #6667
