TARIFF-09: ask the day-ahead feed for the horizon it was handed
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 7m10s

`generic_dayahead.fetch()` accepted `since` and `until` and requested the
bare `?bzn=BE`, which answers ONE Brussels day. Everything past today was
then filled from yesterday's profile by FCST-04, flagged provisional, and
§8.3 drops provisional hours from the trade set -- so the optimiser never
saw tomorrow as firm, at any hour of any day, and nothing reported it.

Measured on 4257e38 at 2026-09-10T09:00+02:00, 48 h horizon, live feed,
yesterday seeded through the shipped read path:

    60 firm points (15 whole hours) + 33 carried hours of 48 requested
    carried: 24 h on 2026-09-11, 9 h on 2026-09-12
    arbitrage(0.10): buy 11:45 and sell 19:45 -- BOTH on 2026-09-10
    firm local days = [2026-09-10]

The ceiling was structural: with a one-day window, at hour H a 48 h horizon
is at most 24-H firm and 24+H carried. At 23:00 that is 1 and 47, and the
remaining firm spread (0.0464 EUR/kWh) no longer clears the default 0.10
threshold, so arbitrage is refused outright. FCST-04's fill covers the
window until the ~13:00-14:00 CET auction; it was never meant to cover
every hour of every day.

The data exists and the endpoint serves it: verified 2026-09-10T07:45:49Z,
`?bzn=BE&start=2026-09-09&end=2026-09-10` returns 192 quarter-hours across
two local days. Committed unmodified beside TARIFF-08's captures, with the
URL, retrieval time and sha256 recorded and RE-DERIVED by the replay.

THE RANGE IS DERIVED ON THE BRUSSELS CALENDAR, not the UTC one. 22:30 UTC
in summer is already tomorrow in Belgium, so a UTC-derived start asks for
the day the controller has just left and drops the day it is standing in,
for the last one or two hours of every day. That is `_bdate()`'s lesson one
layer up with a worse consequence: `_bdate()` misfiles an hour, this never
fetches it. `until` is exclusive, so local midnight belongs to the day
before it; an inverted window collapses to one day rather than a backwards
range. Both ends are graded and both are driven red by mutation.

After, same code path and window, a feed serving both days: 39 firm hours
and 9 carried (was 15 and 33), firm across TWO Brussels days, and the
permitted cycle buys on one day and sells on the next.

`price_feed_url` IS THE EXACT URL AND THE PLUGIN APPENDS NOTHING. `start`/
`end` are this feed's spelling and the provider declares a second host
whose parameters are different, so merging would produce a request nobody
typed and the short horizon anyway. The cost is real, so it is not silent:
a WARNING on the shipped logger at fetch time names the consequence and the
start..end that would otherwise have been asked for. `dated_feed_url()`
refuses to append to a base that already carries a query string, so the
blind-append shape cannot come back by edit.
DECISIONS/TARIFF-09-the-range-and-the-override.md argues the alternative.

Before publication nothing regresses and it is graded, not assumed: at
09:46 CEST the two-day request came back byte-identical to the one-day
body, and that stays a `series` of what exists with FCST-04 filling the
rest. A `no_data` there would switch a working site's arbitrage off every
morning -- the mutation that adds that rule is red by name.

The plugin contract is still NOT enforced: three shipped plugins point at
endpoints nobody has verified, and a rule obliging them to pass a range
would be satisfied by an invented parameter name -- TARIFF-08's defect
moved from the response to the request. Which plugins consume the range is
pinned as a literal instead.

11 mutations, all red, no survivors; each applied to a fresh copy of the
tree rather than reverted, through tools/mutation_run.sh. One is +0 B (a
single price digit inside the committed capture) and the re-derived sha256
catches it. MUTATION.md habit 20 records why a fixture could never have
reached this: a captured body is the answer to a URL, and no property of a
body says which URL was asked for. All 29 suites green.

20. ⚠️ **A FIXTURE GRADES THE RESPONSE. NOTHING ABOUT THE REQUEST IS REACHABLE
FROM ONE, AND THE TRANSPORT HAD BEEN RECORDING IT ALL ALONG.** TARIFF-09,
and it is habit 19's closed loop with the other half still shut.
`generic_dayahead.fetch()` took `since` and `until` and asked for the bare
`?bzn=BE`, which answers ONE Brussels day - so §8.3 dropped every hour past
today from the trade set as provisional and the optimiser never saw
tomorrow as firm, at any hour of any day. Measured at 09:00: **15 firm
hours and 33 carried of 48**, both ends of the permitted cycle inside one
calendar day; at 23:00, **1 and 47**, with the firm spread no longer
clearing the round-trip cost.
TARIFF-08 had just fixed the RESPONSE side of this same plugin by
committing real bytes. It could not have caught this: a captured body is
the answer to a URL, and **no property of any body says which URL was
asked for**. `canned()` in `test_price.py` had recorded `(url, timeout_s)`
on every call since TARIFF-02 and not one check had ever asserted on the
first element - so the harness *knew* the plugin was ignoring its arguments
and nothing asked it. The fix is one line of habit: **where a plugin takes
arguments that shape a request, assert on the REQUEST off the injected
transport, not only on what comes back.** Section 2c does, and the
shipped-defect mutation (restore the bare URL, `-173 B`) is red on six
named checks in `test_price.py` and two in `test_price_history.py`.
⚠️ **AND A MUTATION THAT TURNS A READ INTO `no_data` CRASHES A SUITE
INSTEAD OF NAMING A CHECK, UNLESS THE CHECK EXPECTS IT.** `_NoData.points`
raises `Absence` by design, so `derived(...) < derived(...)` over two
absent reads is a `TypeError` and `[p for p in plan.read.points]` is a
traceback - habit 5's shape with an exception in place of a hang. The
mutation that matters here is the "defensive" one somebody writes after
reading this card: *refuse when the feed returned fewer days than we asked
for*. It is exactly what a healthy feed does every morning before the
~13:00-14:00 CET auction, and switching arbitrage off for it would be a
worse defect than the one being fixed. It is red BY NAME in
`test_price.py` (33 checks, the AC's own line among them) and takes
`test_price_history.py` down at **FCST-04's section 1**, whose `_before`
read is unguarded - a red, but an unnamed one. That is recorded rather than
retrofitted: guarding another card's section is a change to what its
checks report, and it belongs to whoever next touches it.
And the mutation-table consequence: **a variant is not covered because a
near-miss of it is.** DEV-02's table listed the *actuator* variant of the
per-unit claim defect (`device`/`supervised` filed without `inv`), which the
