refactor(coach): tighten disable-coach surface

- Auto-clear status banner after 3 s, matching MoodReminderCard
- Extract use-query-client-safe helper, drop eslint-disable in
  use-disable-coach (and use-feature-flags if shape matches)
- Migrate PATCH /api/auth/me/disable-coach body validation to Zod
  + returnAllZodIssues for uniform 422 envelope
- Drop disable-coach-card fetch-stub test; the Switch-click
  behavioural assertion covers the contract

Closes M2 + M4 + L10 + L11 in v1.4.48 backlog.
