TARIFF-11: the plan's account of itself, corrected and put on the page
Four defects of one shape - the add-on's report of its own tariff plan was wrong, always in the direction that flattered it - and one check, which is the deliverable. 1. `TariffPlan.words` counted POINTS and called them HOURS. The live add-on logged `dynamic_dayahead from generic_dayahead, 132 h` for 132 quarter-hourly points = 33 hours. Belgium moved to a 15-minute MTU on 2025-10-01, so this was wrong every time it was printed, and NOT by a constant factor: a 40-hour soak measured 1.79x .. 5.33x, because §8.3's carried points are hourly while the firm ones are quarter-hourly. `words` now reports both quantities, plus the firm/carried split and the spacing, in FCST-04's *Price history* wording so the two rows can be compared. 2. §8.3's firm-pair refusal and the flat-tariff refusal did the same, and they reach an operator through `self.arb.explain()`. This is exactly the point<->hour conflation TARIFF-14 removed from `at()`, left standing in the prose. `price_forecast.py`'s §8.3 carry-forward log line carried the third instance - a carried-HOUR count over a POINT count - and DOCS quotes it verbatim, so it is corrected here too. 3. The plan reached no HTTP surface at all. `rows["Tariff"]` was `static_status()`'s 30 s-tick sentence and never saw the provider plan - it read 'no static profile' at all 802 soak samples on a site whose feed was answering. It now carries the plan's shape. ⚠️ The two sources are kept distinguishable: the plan half is stamped with its own age, measured from `tariff_at`, because it can be up to TARIFF_MAX_AGE_S (5400 s) old. FCST-04 pins that row to DOCS as a pair; DOCS moves in this commit. 4. `main.py`'s "if and only if" was false. `cycle()` returns at the input hold before `self.arb = None`, so an armed site read `off (arbitrage_enabled)` - naming an option that is on - and, after one completed cycle, showed a decision up to 15 s stale as a current one. The row now reads the OPTION and separates three facts; `cycle_at` and `arb_at` make "this cycle reached no decision" an observation. THE DELIVERABLE IS THE CHECK. All four survived 29 green suites because nothing graded the strings a human is shown. `test_price.py` section 12 renders through the shipped `status_payload()`, parses each number out of its OWN SLOT and compares it against a figure computed from the fixture's construction parameters - not from the property the row was built out of (habit 4), and not as a substring of a sentence the same file wrote (habit 14). The fixture set is four plan shapes and the check computes and prints the field pairs no fixture separates. The *Arbitrage* row's states are driven through real cycles with a sensor answering None and graded by INEQUALITY. No behaviour changed: no threshold, refusal rung, claim or setpoint moved. MUTATIONS: 16, no survivors, one at +0 B (the risky delta) and red. Two were found by the battery INSIDE THIS CARD'S OWN CHECK: a -190 B survivor whose fixture varied two things at once (habit 4), and a mutation whose red was a TRACEBACK in an f-string operand and therefore named nothing (FCST-06). Both closed; the table is on the PR. All 29 test files green. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01BwRLw7eKYj2byVdwB6kbjU

```

alone — no network. Everything after it is the **background refresh's**

resolution, which runs every 1800 s and is served for up to 5400 s before it is
|
||||
retired; `fetched N s ago` is the age of the fetch that produced it and is the
|
||||
only figure in the row that tells you whether the feed is still answering. On a
|
||||
site with a provider configured and no usable plan the row says that too,
|
||||
rather than falling silently back to the static half.
|

Read the plan half as five separate facts: which *product* the feed publishes
|
||||
and which *plugin* read it, how many **points** it carries and how many **whole
|

hours** those points cover, how many of the points are **firm** (published for
|
||||
their own interval) against **carried** (filled from yesterday under §8.3), the
|
||||
**spacing** of the points in seconds — `900+3600` is the normal mixed steady
|
||||
state, quarter-hourly firm points beside hourly carried ones — and `provisional`
|
||||
whenever any point is carried.
|
||||
|
||||
⚠️ **Points and hours are two different numbers and this row used to print one
|
||||
of them under the other's name.** `words` was `f"… {len(points)} h"`, so a
|
||||
33-hour plan of quarter-hourly points logged `dynamic_dayahead from
|
||||
generic_dayahead, 132 h`. It is the same conflation the *Price history* row
|
||||
carried before FCST-04 and the same one `at()` carried before TARIFF-14, and it
|
||||
is **not a constant factor**: measured over a 40-hour soak the overstatement
|
||||
ranged **1.79× to 5.33×**, because the carried points are hourly while the firm
|
||||
ones are quarter-hourly, so the ratio moves with the mix as the day goes on.
|

The same sentence is in the **add-on log** at every refresh, alongside `§8.3:

**The *Arbitrage* status row says which of three things is true** — trading is
|
||||
off, trading is on and this cycle reached no decision, or a decision was
|
||||
reached — and it stamps every decision with its age. Until TARIFF-11 it said
|
||||
one of two, because the first two rendered identically. They have three
|
||||
different remedies:
|
||||
|
||||
| the row opens with | what is true | what to do |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| **off** — *"arbitrage_enabled is false, so nothing trades"* | Trading is not armed. Nothing will happen, and nothing is wrong | Arm it, if you meant to |
|
||||
| **ON (arbitrage_enabled), but NO DECISION has been reached yet** | Trading **is** armed, and no cycle has run as far as the arbitrage step. The row then names the control loop's own reason, usually *inputs missing* | Fix the input the loop names |
|
||||
| **decided N s ago:** … | The strategy answered this cycle, and `N` is how old that answer is | Read the sentence that follows — it is the strategy's own |
|
||||
| **no decision this cycle (reason); the last one was taken N s ago:** … | Trading is armed, a decision stands from an earlier cycle, and **this** cycle stopped before reaching the step | As row 2 — the standing decision is history, not a verdict on now |
|
||||
|
||||
A fifth rendering — *"…no decision this cycle …, and none stands from an
|
||||
earlier one"* — covers the case where trading was armed after a cycle had
|
||||
already run without it.
|
||||
|
||||
⚠️ **The second row used to render exactly like the first one**, naming
|
||||
`arbitrage_enabled` on a site where `arbitrage_enabled` is `true`. A cycle with
|
||||
a missing input returns after roughly `stale_input_s` (15 s by default) without
|
||||
reaching the arbitrage step at all, so on an armed site the row reported *off*
|
||||
at startup and, once one decision had been taken, went on showing that decision
|
||||
for up to 15 s after the site stopped deciding anything. The age on the third
|
||||
row is printed **always**, including when it is zero: a row that reports
|
||||
staleness only once it is stale cannot be told from one that never reports
|
||||
it.
