Retries (bluetooth_handler):
- request() now retries up to 3× with 0.5s pause between attempts
- Tries Write With Response first, falls back to Write Without Response
automatically if the characteristic rejects it — handles both BMS variants
Number entity (number.py):
- "Nominal Capacity (Override)" lets user correct a stale BMS capacity value
(e.g. after a cell upgrade) without PC software
- Value is restored across HA restarts via RestoreEntity
- Immediately patches coordinator.data so the sensor reflects it without
waiting for the next poll

HA expects translations at custom_components/<domain>/translations/en.json
not at the repo root.

- Use write_gatt_char with response=True (Write With Response) — many BMS
firmwares ignore Write Without Response packets
- Add 0.5s delay after start_notify before sending first command to avoid
race where BMS hasn't registered the notification subscription yet

Don't connect eagerly in async_setup — let the first coordinator poll
handle it. If the BMS is out of range at startup, UpdateFailed becomes
ConfigEntryNotReady and HA retries automatically instead of crashing.

Use async_ble_device_from_address() to resolve the BMS through whichever
adapter (local or ESPHome proxy) can reach it, instead of connecting by
raw MAC address directly. BleakClient now receives a BLEDevice object.
