Research direction

Start by locating ESPHome's Alarm Control Panel implementation and the existing restore_disarmed behavior. Implement the requested RESTORE_ARMED restore mode so the alarm panel starts armed after an unexpected reboot, then verify that the restored state matches the fail-secure use case.
