Description

app.clientside_callback() will not trigger if the server is not running. One would expect it to keep working since server is not needed for it to work.

dash==0.43.0
dash-core-components==0.48.0
dash-html-components==0.16.0
dash-renderer==0.24.0

Research direction

Start by reproducing the clientside callback behavior with Dash 0.43.0 and the listed component and renderer versions, then trace the clientside callback path while the server is shut down. Done means app.clientside_callback() still triggers without a running server, with regression coverage for that scenario.
