test: catch backtick and bracket-quoted table names in self-scan

- UPDATE pattern alternative corrected (UPDATE ... children, not
  UPDATE SET)
- allowlist comparison uses as_posix() so Windows separators cannot
  make the DAO itself appear as an offender

+"""Typed DAO layer for the children and admin_users tables.
+
+All SQL for ``children`` and ``admin_users`` lives in this module per
+the feature guardrail: callers get typed dataclasses back and never see
+raw rows or SQL.  Every method is async and runs through
+:class:`~.db.NestQuestDatabase`, so each statement executes on the HA
+executor and the event loop never blocks.
+
+Error contract: violations surface as the underlying
+:class:`sqlite3.IntegrityError` (duplicate, foreign-key, or CHECK
+failure) from the execute call; the DAO adds no wrapping exception
+type.  A get that matches nothing returns ``None``; a mutation that
+matches nothing is reported by :class:`~.db.ExecutionResult.rowcount`,
+which each method returns where the caller may need it (reorder, and
+the admin remove/set paths).
