A coverage gap is a claim about what the device currently reports, so
replaying a discovery snapshot shouldn't make it. Offline it would restate
the last live poll's conclusion while pointing the user at a diagnostics
download that stays empty until the appliance answers, and any drift in the
resolved device name between snapshot and live would churn the issue.
Not deduplication: HA already keys issues on (domain, issue_id), preserves
dismissed_version across async_get_or_create, and reloads non-persistent
issues with their dismissal intact -- one row per entry, and an "Ignore"
survives restarts.
