TEST-21: delivery_hold_s's floor re-derived, and 30.0 s did not reproduce

No code and no option changes. What changes is a number this repository claimed
about a shipped safety constant.

`delivery_hold_s: 185` shipped resting on "30.0 s, the worst continuous
legitimate episode at the shipped threshold across all 2640 runs", plus a lag
sweep giving 45.0 s and 90.0 s - from a harness `DECISIONS/SAFETY-42` §1
deliberately did NOT commit, because it imports `plantsim` and `frame_check` out
of admin/goodwe. So the floor under a safety constant could not be re-run. That
is PROC-01's shape, with eleven instances in three days.

The harness is committed now, in admin/goodwe as `sim/delivery_window.py`, and
NOT here. `plantsim` and `frame_check` are that repo's; restating them in this
tree is CI-08's coupling, which has broken three times, and the alternative
fate - skipped for want of its imports - is a green that establishes nothing.
There the dependency runs one way: THIS repo's `control`, `arbiter` and the
shipped `delivery.delinquent()` are imported live out of whichever checkout is
under test. Its `--selftest` is now a step in that repo's `checks.yml`, so a
change here that moves `saturation_w`, `max_w`, `delivery_hold_s` or the shape
of `delinquent()` goes red there instead of leaving a stale number here.

        python3 -B delivery_window.py --selftest --campaign --blag

⚠️ THE HEADLINE DID NOT REPRODUCE: 35.0 s, not 30.0 s. Recorded as measured. The
harness was not adjusted until it agreed - the one correction made during the
rebuild was made AGAINST the doc's number (§1 records it) and made every figure
LARGER.

WHAT REPRODUCED - and it is the part the compatibility promise rests on:
  * the N=1 control arm is 0.0 s at EVERY threshold in EVERY run. §3.2's algebra
    measured, not argued.
  * the flapping family is 0.0 s everywhere in all 840 runs - the family that
    defeated SAFETY-30's site window still cannot touch this check.
  * 45.0 s at twice A's lag, to the cycle.

WHAT DID NOT:
  * the headline, by one control cycle (30.0 -> 35.0 s); the reversal family by
    two (20.0 -> 30.0 s).
  * the NON-MONOTONE curve. §3.3 finding 3 read 55.0 s at 250 W against 40.0 s
    at 100 W as a property of the reduction. This rebuild's curve is monotone.
    The mechanism is real and is still the reason not to read either table as a
    sensitivity curve, but it is an ARGUMENT now, not a measurement, and it is
    written down as weaker.
  * the low-threshold rows, badly (40.0 -> 120.0 s at 100 W). Nothing ships
    there, but that gap is the honest measure of how much of the original table
    was a property of axes nobody wrote down. §3.3 fixes every axis COUNT and
    RANGE and no individual value; the rebuild prints its choices above its own
    table so the caveat travels with the number.
  * the four-times-slower row moved the OTHER way: 75.0 s, not 90.0 s.

185 s IS NOT CHANGED. It is 5.29x the re-measured worst (the record claimed
6.2x), 2.47x the four-times-slower case, 6.2x the firmware's LINK_STALE_S veto
and 4.9x inside the billing quarter. All four bounds clear and none narrowly,
and the ordering of the argument is unchanged. Moving a shipped safety constant
because a margin went from 6.2x to 5.3x while every bound holds would re-open
SAFETY-41's four-attempt false-trip regime for nothing.

⚠️ ONE CONSEQUENCE AN OPERATOR CAN HIT. At 30.0 s the rig's floor coincided with
the firmware's veto and a reader could not tell which was binding. At 35.0 s the
rig's is strictly the binding one - and it is ABOVE the schema's own
`int(30,900)` minimum. `delivery_hold_s: 30` is therefore below a MEASURED
legitimate episode and would report on ordinary saturation. Both translations
now say so. Raising the schema floor is a change to a shipped option's contract
and is left to its own card rather than smuggled in here.

⚠️ THE B-LAG ROWS ARE RELABELLED THROUGHOUT. Inverter B does not physically
exist (~2026-09-12); `plantsim.INVERTER_B` is A COPIED, `measured=False`. Every
two-inverter figure in this record is two copies of A, and the lag sweep is a
SENSITIVITY STUDY ON A HYPOTHESIS ABOUT B, not a measurement of it. The old
wording - "MEASURED, not felt" - overstated exactly that, and "the RAMP does not
move it at all" was too strong: halving it is worth 0 s at A's lag and +5 s at
twice it.

Touched: DECISIONS/SAFETY-42 §1 and §3.3, app/delivery.py's provenance comment,
config.yaml's `delivery_hold_s` block, both translations, CHANGELOG Unreleased.
26/26 suites pass.

### Reproducing it
### Reproducing it — ⚠️ THE HARNESS IS COMMITTED NOW (TEST-21, 2026-09-07)
⚠️ **THIS SECTION USED TO SAY THE HARNESS WAS NOT COMMITTED, AND THAT WAS THE
DEFECT TEST-21 FOUND.** A shipped safety constant whose floor the next reviewer
cannot re-run is PROC-01's shape, and PROC-01 had eleven instances in three
days. The paragraph this replaces was true — what the harness does *is* small
enough to restate — and it was not enough: a restatement in prose leaves every
axis it does not name to the next person's judgement, and §3.3 below now records
how far that moves the number. **It moved. See §3.3's second table.**
It is committed in the **other** repository, `admin/goodwe`, as
`sim/delivery_window.py`, beside `sitesim.py` — the container-free two-master
harness it is built on. From clean checkouts of both repos:
```
cd goodwe/sim
GOODWE_ADDON_REPO=/path/to/goodwe-addon python3 -B delivery_window.py --selftest
GOODWE_ADDON_REPO=/path/to/goodwe-addon python3 -B delivery_window.py --campaign --blag
```
stdlib only. No container, no HA, no esphome, **no rig and no rig lock** — it is
a `plantsim` campaign, not a rig job. About fifteen minutes for the whole thing.
⚠️ **AND IT IS IN `admin/goodwe` RATHER THAN HERE, WHICH IS CI-08's RULE
APPLIED RATHER THAN IGNORED.** It imports `plantsim` (the plant, the per-unit
wire, `Site`) and `frame_check` (the firmware's own encoder), both **owned by
that repo** and neither present in this one's CI image. Committed here it had
two possible fates and both are the coupling CI-08 has been broken by three
times: skipped for want of its imports — a green that establishes nothing — or
the plant and the encoder **restated in this tree**, which is a second copy of
something the other repo owns, free to drift, and drift in a fixture is
invisible until the number it defends is wrong. There the dependency runs one
way and stays one-directional: **this** repo's `control`, `arbiter` and
`delivery` are imported live out of whichever checkout is under test
(`$GOODWE_ADDON_REPO`), never copied — so a change to `delinquent()` moves the
number on the next run instead of silently disagreeing with a fixture. That is
the seam `sitesim.py` already stands on, which is the other reason the campaign
is its neighbour and not a third arrangement.
⚠️ **THE SELFTEST IS CI-GATED; THE CAMPAIGN IS NOT, AND THE SPLIT IS
DELIBERATE.** `admin/goodwe`'s `.gitea/workflows/checks.yml` gained one step —
`python3 -B delivery_window.py --selftest`, seconds, beside the existing
`norig, no lock` TEST-19 and TEST-20 steps, in the workflow that **already**
checks out this repo for `two_writers` and accepts that boundary in writing. So
a change **here** that moved `saturation_w`, `max_w`, `delivery_hold_s` or the
shape of `delinquent()` turns that step red rather than leaving a stale number
in this record. The **campaign** (`--campaign --blag`, ~15 minutes) is not
gated: it is a campaign, not a gate, and `failure-injection.yml`'s jobs run on
the **rig** runner, which a container-free simulation has no business holding.
What TEST-21 asked for is a command a reviewer can run from a clean checkout —
that is the block above.
⚠️ **`--selftest` IS A FALSIFIABILITY ARM, NOT A SMOKE TEST, AND IT RUNS
FIRST.** A campaign whose N=1 column and whose flapping column are 0.0 s
everywhere is indistinguishable from a campaign whose detector was never wired
up — `sitesim.broadcast_onset` exists for the same reason. So the selftest
drives a genuinely **wedged** unit through the same loop and refuses to proceed
unless the shipped `delinquent()` names it for longer than the shipped hold
(it names it for 275.0 s). Every 0.0 s in §3.3 is only worth reading because
that arm passes.
What it does, unchanged from the restatement it replaces: build two
`plantsim.Inverter`s from `INVERTER_A` / `INVERTER_B`; close the loop with the
add-on's own `compute()` on the SITE sum (`Controller.site_batt_w`) and
`arbiter.allocate_record()` over per-unit envelopes of `±min(max_w, rating)`;
put each share on its own wire through `Inverter.command()`, honouring a
configurable **write stagger** so B's number can land up to four cycles after
A's (the serialised write path); advance `Site.settle()` one control cycle; and
record, per unit, the command standing *before* the write and that unit's 0x0518
power. Then grade each cycle with the **shipped** `delivery.delinquent()` and
take the **longest run of consecutive cycles** on which it names anybody — not a
count of naming samples, because the window is cleared by any cycle that does
not.
⚠️ **ONE THING THE RESTATEMENT DID NOT SAY, AND IT IS LOAD-BEARING.** "The
command standing before the write" is the **controller's** standing command —
`Inverter.standing_w()`, i.e. `last_write` — and **not** the far end of the
wire. A write that has been issued but has not landed yet is standing as far as
this add-on is concerned, which is the whole of the write-stagger axis. Grading
against the plant's latch instead reads a number no add-on has, and it makes
both the stagger *and a wedged unit* invisible: a unit whose writes never arrive
shows a standing command of 0 W, is never `asked`, and is never named. That is
not a conservative harness, it is a harness that cannot fail — and the rebuild
did exactly this on its first run, which is how the falsifiability arm earned
its place above.
The harness is **not committed here**, for the reason SAFETY-30's and
SAFETY-31's were not: it imports `plantsim` and `frame_check`, which live in the
other repository and are not present in this one's CI image. What it does is
small enough to restate: build two `plantsim.Inverter`s from `INVERTER_A` /
`INVERTER_B`; close the loop with the add-on's own `compute()` on the SITE sum
(`Controller.site_batt_w`) and `arbiter.allocate_record()` over per-unit
envelopes of `±min(max_w, rating)`; put each share on its own wire through
`Inverter.command()`, honouring a configurable **write stagger** so B's number
can land up to four cycles after A's (the serialised write path); advance
`Site.settle()` one control cycle; and record, per unit, the command standing
*before* the write and that unit's 0x0518 power. Then grade each cycle with the
**shipped** `delivery.delinquent()` and take the **longest run of consecutive
cycles** on which it names anybody — not a count of naming samples, because the
window is cleared by any cycle that does not.

trees. Run it with `python3 -B` and purge.

argmax is printed with the table on purpose (see below): a worst case sitting on
an edge of the grid would be a number about the grid.
**WHAT REPRODUCED, EXACTLY:**
* the **N=1 control column is 0.0 s at every threshold**, in every run. That is
§3.2's algebra measured, and it is the claim the compatibility promise rests
on. (This rebuild ran the control arm over all three families — 2640 runs —
where the original ran 1890, i.e. the two families whose stimulus is not
weighted. The weighted stimulus at a roster of one is the same stimulus with
inert weights, and it too reports nothing at any threshold.)
* the **flapping family is 0.0 s at every threshold**, in all 840 runs. The
proper-subset rule really does defeat the family that defeated SAFETY-30's
site window.
* **45.0 s at twice A's lag**, to the cycle. See the B-lag table below.
**WHAT DID NOT:**
* the headline. **35.0 s against a recorded 30.0 s** — one control cycle worse,
and 20.0 s → 30.0 s on the reversal family, two cycles worse.
* **the non-monotonicity.** §3.3 finding 3 read the original 55.0 s at 250 W
against 40.0 s at 100 W as a property of the reduction. **This rebuild's
curve is monotone decreasing on both N=2 families.** The *mechanism* finding 3
describes is real and is still the reason not to read either table as a
sensitivity curve — lowering the threshold really can turn a proper subset
into the whole roster and break the run — but **this grid does not exhibit
it**, so the claim now rests on the mechanism alone and no longer on a
measurement. That is a weaker claim than the one this record made, and it is
written down as weaker.
* the low-threshold rows, badly: 120.0 s / 165.0 s at 100 W against 40.0 s /
75.0 s. Nothing ships at 100 W, but the size of that gap is the honest measure
of how much of the original table was a property of axes nobody wrote down.
⚠️ **WHY THE NUMBERS MOVED, AS FAR AS IT CAN BE ESTABLISHED.** §3.3 fixes the
*counts* of every axis (6 gains × 5 slews; 7 reversal sizes; 7 flap periods × 4
amplitudes; 5 staggers; and the 5 splits, which it lists) and the *ranges*
(`config.yaml`'s `gain` `float(0.05,1.0)` and `slew_w` `int(0,5000)`). It does
**not** fix the individual values, the run length, or the per-unit cap. The
rebuild spread them over the admissible ranges and **prints every one of them
above its own table**, so the caveat travels with the number instead of living
in somebody's memory. The residual disagreement — one to two control cycles at
the shipped threshold — is inside the sensitivity to that choice; the
low-threshold rows are not, and are reported as not.
⚠️ **AND THE HARNESS WAS NOT ADJUSTED UNTIL IT AGREED.** The one substantive
correction made during the rebuild was made *against* the doc's number, not
towards it, and it is recorded in §1: grading on the plant's latch rather than
the controller's standing command produced a harness that could not name even a
wedged unit. Fixing that made the numbers **larger**. Nothing else was tuned.

⚠️ **THIS IS NOW STRICTLY THE BINDING LOWER BOUND, WHICH IT WAS NOT BEFORE.**
At 30.0 s it coincided with the firmware's veto below and a reader could not
tell which of the two was doing the work. At 35.0 s the rig's number is on its
own, above the firmware's — so **the rig is what stops `delivery_hold_s` going
low**, and the schema's `int(30,900)` floor no longer sits above the worst
legitimate episode. An operator who sets it to the schema minimum of 30 s is
now **below** a measured legitimate episode and will get false reports; the
option is marked *derived, do not change* and this is what that marking is
for. Raising the schema floor to 35 is a change to a shipped option's
contract and is left to its own card rather than smuggled in here.
* **lower, from the firmware — 30 s (`inverter.LINK_STALE_S`).** A unit not
executing its share for less than the firmware's own veto window is a *link*

**The RAMP does not move it at all and the LAG moves it roughly linearly.**
The shortfall lasts as long as the unit's first-order lag holds it more than
`saturation_w` below its share; at these step sizes the ramp is never the
binding term. So the number to carry margin against is B's lag, and a unit
**four times slower than A** produces 90.0 s.
**The LAG moves it roughly linearly and the RAMP barely moves it**, which is
the original finding and it survives — with one correction: *"the RAMP does
not move it at all"* is too strong. Halving the ramp is worth 0 s at A's lag
and **+5 s at twice it** (45.0 → 50.0), so the ramp is a second-order term
rather than no term. The shortfall lasts as long as the unit's first-order lag
holds it more than `saturation_w` below its share; at these step sizes the
ramp is rarely the binding one. So the number to carry margin against is still
B's lag — and a hypothetical unit **four times slower than A** produces
**75.0 s**, where the original record said 90.0 s. ⚠️ Note the direction: this
row moved **in the margin's favour**, while the floor above moved against it.

**185 s** is thirty-seven control cycles. Against the TEST-21 re-run it is

⚠️ **185 STANDS, AND HERE IS THE ARITHMETIC RATHER THAN THE ASSURANCE.** The
record claimed 6.2× the measured worst; the re-run makes that **5.29×**. All
four bounds still clear, none of them narrowly, and the *ordering* of the
argument is unchanged: the rig's floor is the binding one, the quarter is the
ceiling, and 185 sits between them with margin at both ends. So the value is
**not changed** — a shipped safety constant is not moved because its margin
went from 6.2× to 5.3× while every bound still holds, and moving it would
invalidate SAFETY-41's four-attempt false-trip regime for nothing. What IS
changed is the claim: this record no longer says 6.2×, and no longer says 30.0
s, because neither is what the harness produces.
**What it costs, stated rather than hidden:** up to 185 s of a site running
short by one unit's share before anybody is told. Against a fault that ran
