Addressed the Copilot feedback:

Fixed _attr_in_progress = False → None in update.py (1d78171)

Regarding the automated "single platform" comment: this integration provides sensor, update, and diagnostics. Happy to split update into a follow-up PR if required by reviewers.

The tests currently use custom_components.* imports (carried over from the custom component). I'll update them to homeassistant.components.wattwaechter.* once CI workflows are approved and I can verify against the core test runner.

Hi, just checking in on this PR — is there anything we need to adjust on our side? We noticed the CI workflows haven't run yet, presumably because of the first-time contributor approval? Let us know if there's anything we can do to move things along.

Hi @joostlek

Thanks again for your review — really appreciate you taking the time! Sorry for the delayed response, I was on vacation.

I've addressed all your feedback from the last round and also cleaned up a few additional things:

Coordinator now raises UpdateFailed on WattwaechterNoDataError to preserve last known data
ConfigEntryNotReady via first refresh when no meter data is available
except clause syntax fixed
Removed leftover diagnostic sensor icons and unused _LOGGER
device_name stores "" instead of None in config entry data
Sensor tests refactored to use unique_id-based entity registry lookups
Added test for auth error during coordinator first refresh
Type annotations on all test parameters and fixtures

Looking forward to your next review whenever you get a chance. Thanks!
