Add Environment Canada as a third weather provider
app/weather/ec.py -- api.weather.gc.ca's MSC GeoMet OGC API
(citypageweather-realtime collection), the modern replacement for the
old dd.weatheroffice.gc.ca XML feed (that host no longer resolves).
Unlike Open-Meteo/NWS's simple lat/lon REST, this collection is only
queryable by bounding box, so _nearest_site widens the box
progressively and picks the closest of the ~844 sites by straight-line
distance -- capped at 300km, calibrated against a real bug caught in
development where an unconditional "nearest site, however far" matched
a Miami, FL query to a site in Ontario 1824km away once the box widened
to cover the whole country.

EC's own numeric icon codes get a small confirmed-against-live-data
mapping table plus the same keyword-on-condition-text fallback NWS
already uses for anything unmapped. Daily periods are named ("Today"/
"Tonight"/"Tuesday"/...) rather than dated, so dates are inferred by
walking them in issued order.

Verified end-to-end against the real live API (Toronto, rural
Saskatchewan, a US border city, and a rejected far-away match) and
through the browser (daily mode, composited panel preview). Test
fixtures mirror the actual response shapes captured live. docs/
widgets.md and CLAUDE.md's TODO updated -- EC is no longer a documented
gap.

"""Environment Canada (ECCC MSC GeoMet OGC API, api.weather.gc.ca)
provider -- Canada-only, free, no API key. Unlike NWS's grid-point
lookup or Open-Meteo's plain lat/lon REST, EC's `citypageweather-realtime`
collection (an OGC API - Features collection, the modern replacement for
the old dd.weatheroffice.gc.ca XML feed -- that host no longer resolves)
is only queryable by bounding box, not a direct by-coordinate endpoint --
this widens the box progressively until it finds at least one site, then
picks the nearest by straight-line distance. This station/bbox-lookup
shape (not simple lat/lon REST) is exactly why EC was documented as a
follow-up rather than shipped alongside Open-Meteo/NWS in the first
pass -- see docs/widgets.md.
EC's numeric icon codes are its own set, distinct from WMO's (Open-
Meteo) or NWS's icon-URL condition codes. _category_from_code_and_text
below only maps the codes actually confirmed against live data (see
this module's own tests, captured from real api.weather.gc.ca
responses), falling back to the same keyword-match-on-condition-text
safety net app/weather/nws.py uses for anything unmapped -- correctness
comes from the text fallback, the numeric table is just a fast path.
Pure functions -- no ORM, no FastAPI Depends -- same testability
philosophy as calendar_feed.py/caldav_client.py/app/weather/open_meteo.py/nws.py.

one -- a US border city like Seattle, genuinely ~100 km from the
