Heartbeat honesty: SYNC badge reads refreshed_at, not grade-lock updated_at

The "SIGNAL LIVE vs STALE 8h" contradiction was a field mismatch, not a dead
pipeline. updated_at is the grade-LOCK time (advances only on a full snapshot,
5×/day — grades never change in-game, so it is intentionally stable). The
SYNC badge measured the 20-min intraday cadence (expected_interval_s=1200)
against that 5×/day field → structurally guaranteed STALE between slots even
when intraday refreshes lines perfectly.

- snapshotService: full snapshot now seeds refreshed_at at lock time
- intradayRefresh already bumps refreshed_at every ~20 min (unchanged)
- /api/snapshot/summary + GET /:sport now expose refreshed_at (was written to
  Redis but never serialized → no public liveness signal existed)
- LiveLayer SYNC badge measures freshness from refreshed_at (fallback updated_at)

Exposing refreshed_at also gives a public heartbeat probe: it advances every
intraday slot, so pipeline liveness is verifiable without container logs.
