During the server-side migration (PR #4032), the `instanceId` was built with `Date.now()`, making it unique per client reload. This approach was fine in the old browser-based architecture where reloads cleaned up everything automatically. But now the node_helper persists across reloads, so each reconnect created a new `HTTPFetcher` while the old one kept polling - silently multiplying API calls over time. The fix is simple: use `this.identifier` as the `instanceId`, which is already stable and unique per module slot. This is the same approach the Calendar module uses. On the node_helper side, when a provider already exists for the same `instanceId`, we now skip re-creation and just resend `WEATHER_INITIALIZED` so the client picks up where it left off.
