Live dashboard: show what the car sends, compute pack energy

The car publishes no battery, cabin or outside temperature and no pack
energy (checked against the fields that reached InfluxDB). Instead of
panels that stay empty:

- Battery temperature tile -> Climate setpoint.
- Outside temperature tile -> Last update ("2 minutes ago").
- Energy in pack = SOC x usable capacity, from the hidden dashboard
  constant usableKwh = 50.8 (51 kWh battery).
- Temperatures chart -> Battery voltage and current.

Checked with a simulated drive carrying exactly the car's fields: all
11 panels return data, energy matches 61 % x 50.8 kWh. SPECS.md lists
the missing signals and why.

+Checked 2026-10-17 against what actually reached InfluxDB (`schema.measurementFieldKeys`). The car
+sends soc, est_battery_range, odometer, power, voltage, current, speed, hvac_setpoint, the four
+tyre pressures, GPS (lat, lon, elevation, heading) and the is_* flags. It does **not** send:
+
+- **Battery temperature:** read from `EV_BATTERY_AVERAGE_TEMPERATURE`, an Android 14 property; the
+  head unit runs Android 9, and the SAIC services offer none.
+- **Cabin temperature:** `HVAC_TEMPERATURE_CURRENT` is not published; only the setpoint is.
+- **Outside temperature:** not published by the vehicle (upstream noted the same). Upstream used
+  the head unit's weather service as a stand-in (`HeadUnitWeather`, removed in `ea8032a`);
+  restoring it was considered and declined.
+- **Pack energy (`soe`) and capacity:** not published. The Live dashboard computes energy in pack
+  as SOC × usable capacity, from the hidden dashboard constant `usableKwh` (50.8 kWh for the
+  51 kWh battery) in `k8s/grafana/dashboards/live.json`.
