feat(weather): parse an Open-Meteo cache instead of OWM JSON
WMO codes to glyphs and words, moon phase, UV and AQI roles, and a parser for the tab-separated cache the fetcher will write. Groundwork for the Mirage-derived forecast cards. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

--- which is where an off-by-one would hide.
--- Sunrise 1500, sunset 1900, so DAY must sit INSIDE that window and NIGHT
--- outside it. Naming them without checking them against the window is how the
--- first draft of this test made every timestamp evaluate as night.
