Fix review findings: first-refresh handling, stale runtime record, P3s

P1: the first-refresh error handling never fired against real Home
Assistant.  Real DataUpdateCoordinator.async_config_entry_first_refresh
converts ANY refresh failure into ConfigEntryNotReady (the original
exception survives only as __cause__), so `except NestQuestApiError`
could never match: the failure fell through to the outer except block,
unwound listeners, closed the DB and re-raised, and
async_forward_entry_setups never ran — no entities at all.  Two-sided
fix: _async_update_data now converts every typed NestQuestApiError
(unconfigured stub, transport failure, non-2xx) into
homeassistant.helpers.update_coordinator.UpdateFailed — the exception
HA's coordinator machinery records as a failed pass
(last_update_success=False, data=None) — and setup catches
ConfigEntryNotReady around the first refresh instead, so an unconfigured
API or failed fetch keeps setup alive with unavailable entities while
everything else still unwinds.  The conftest DataUpdateCoordinator
stand-in now reproduces HA's real contract (async_refresh records a
failure instead of raising; first_refresh wraps it in
ConfigEntryNotReady) and gains an UpdateFailed stand-in, so this class
of bug is caught by the suite — verified by reverting the catch, which
fails both unconfigured-API and failed-fetch tests.

P1: a stale hass.data[DOMAIN][entry.entry_id] survived a failed setup.
The runtime record registers in hass.data before the first refresh and
platform forward, but the except cleanup only cleared
entry.runtime_data; after any failure in that window a later unload
picked up the stale, already-torn-down record and re-invoked the
already-consumed update-listener remover (ValueError).  The except block
now also pops the hass.data entry, and
test_setup_failure_after_registration_shuts_coordinator_down (reworked
from the fiction-based first-refresh trigger: a failed first refresh is
tolerated setup, not an unwind) proves a failed setup followed by an
unload does not raise and leaves no residue.

P3: dropped the function-local re-import of NestQuestApiClient in
coordinator_client_from_entry (module-level import already covers it),
and the unused coordinator_client_from_entry alias in the conftest
fixture.

P3: test_due_today_payload_omits_missed_admin_equals_panel dropped the
missed-instance count assertions in the Feature 18 rewrite; restored
quests_completed_today == 0 / quests_remaining_today == 1 so the
missed-derivation + counts pairing stays verified (the counts arrive
precomputed and still roll the full day).

+"""Panel-plane API client for the NestQuest integration (Feature 18).
+
+The integration talks to the NestQuest API service (Feature 16) over
+HTTP instead of reading the database: this module is the ONE place that
+speaks the API's panel plane — ``GET /api/v1/panel/snapshot`` (today's
+household snapshot) and ``POST /api/v1/panel/instances/{id}/complete``
+(completion as the tapped child profile) — authenticated with the
+static panel service token as a Bearer credential on every request.
+
+Transport-injected by construction: the constructor takes the base URL,
+the panel token, and the HTTP session to use.  The session speaks the
+aiohttp ``ClientSession`` surface (``request(method, url, headers=...,
+json=...)`` returning an async context manager whose response carries
+``status`` and ``await text()``), so tests stub the transport with NO
+network and NO aiohttp installed; production builds the client through
+:func:`client_from_entry`, which hands in Home Assistant's shared
+aiohttp session (``homeassistant.helpers.aiohttp_client
+.async_get_clientsession``).  The module itself imports NEITHER
+homeassistant NOR aiohttp at runtime (aiohttp appears only behind
+``TYPE_CHECKING`` for annotations), so the client is usable anywhere —
+the HA coupling lives in the one production factory.
+
+Every failure is typed: a transport failure (connection refused, DNS
+failure, timeout — the exchange never produced a response) and every
+non-2xx HTTP response raise :class:`NestQuestApiError`.  The error
+carries the HTTP status where there is one (so 401 and 404 are
+distinguishable at the call site) and ``None`` when there is not; the
+original transport error is chained as ``__cause__`` — nothing is
+swallowed.  There are NO retries and the client logs nothing: refresh
+cadence is the coordinator's concern (the next task), and the panel
+token is a secret that must never reach a log line or an error
+message — the error texts name the method, path, and status only.

-"Today" and "now" are HA-local (``hass.config.time_zone``), never the
-host clock and never UTC, matching the materialization and completion
-layers.
+Since Feature 18 the snapshot no longer comes from the local database:
+the coordinator polls the NestQuest API service's panel plane —
+``GET /api/v1/panel/snapshot`` through
+:class:`~.api_client.NestQuestApiClient` on its update interval — and
+RECONSTRUCTS the same core dataclasses the local builder produced
+(:class:`~.core.snapshot.NestQuestSnapshot`,
+:class:`~.core.snapshot.ChildDaySnapshot`,
+:class:`~.core.snapshot.QuestInstanceView`).  ``sensor.py`` and
+``binary_sensor.py`` read ``coordinator.data`` and
+:func:`~.core.snapshot.instance_payload` exactly as before, so every
+entity_id and attribute payload shape is unchanged: the panel cards and
+the four blueprints keep working untouched.
 
-The snapshot assembly itself lives in the Home-Assistant-free
-:mod:`custom_components.nestquest.core.snapshot` module
-(:func:`~core.snapshot.build_snapshot`); this coordinator is now a thin
-HA wrapper that resolves the local timezone and reads the settings handed
-into its constructor, then delegates to that builder, passing the SAME
-HA-local ``now`` it resolved in one clock read.  The API service's panel
-snapshot route shares the same builder, so both consumers render ONE
-snapshot shape.
+One loss is deliberate and documented (D-009 revisited): the panel
+payload OMITS missed instances, so a snapshot rebuilt from the API can
+no longer carry them — ``admin_instances`` (``include_missed=True``)
+now equals ``instances`` (they can hold only open and completed rows).
+The admin surface for missed quests is the PWA, which reads the API
+service directly; the integration's entities never needed missed rows
+for their states or counts (the counts arrive precomputed).
 
-Presence is resolved through the SAME engine the materializer uses
-(:class:`~.presence.PresenceEngine`): schedules and overrides are read
-with the public DAO methods and the engine's anchor-date arithmetic
-answers ``is this child at this house today`` (D-004 — never ISO week
-parity).
-
-``cycle_day`` reports where today falls in the custody cycle of the
-first active child (display order) that HAS a schedule — 1-based day
-``N`` of ``cycle_length_weeks * 7``, computed from that schedule's
-anchor date.  ``0`` means no active child has a schedule at all, so
-the admin header degrades to a harmless zero instead of guessing.
+Failure handling: constructing the client fails fast (ValueError) when
+the entry has no panel token configured, and a fetch failure raises the
+typed :class:`~.api_client.NestQuestApiError`.  Neither crashes
+integration setup: the constructor logs a clear message and hands back
+a client-shaped stub whose refresh raises the same typed error, and
+``_async_update_data`` converts every typed error into
+:class:`~homeassistant.helpers.update_coordinator.UpdateFailed` — the
+exception a HA ``DataUpdateCoordinator`` records as a failed pass
