Subject: [PATCH] improve(automation): increase reliability of tesla charging
 control

- Change mode to restart to prevent skipped runs
- Replace failsafe template trigger with time_pattern
- Add plugged-in condition to avoid unnecessary switching
- Add explicit deadline validation condition

Result:
- More reliable execution of charging logic
- Prevents missed failsafe activation
- Reduces unnecessary charger toggling
