static/js/home.js is forcing templates/home.html to display "Start My Server" when server is stopped

[luanabeckerdaluz]

Bug description

The bug only occurs when the "Stop My Server" button is clicked. Even though I changed the "Start my Server" button label on html, this is happening because static/js/home.js script is forcing the "Start My Server" button to display "Start My Server".

How to reproduce

You can change the start button html condition to display different strings depending if the server is active or not, as following:

Original templates/home.html:

<a id="start" role="button" class="btn btn-lg btn-primary" href="{{ url }}">
    {% if not default_server.active %}Start{% endif %}
    My Server
</a>

My templates/home.html:

<a id="start" role="button" class="btn btn-lg btn-primary" href="{{ url }}">
    {% if not default_server.active %}
        Start
    {% else %}
        Access
    {% endif %}
</a>

Expected behaviour

After click on the "Stop My Server" button, the start button will have the "Start My Server" label forced by the jupyterhub home.js, and not the one you defined on home.html

Personal set up

jupyterhub/jupyterhub 4.0.2
Python 3.10.12
