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.

was the only resolution any fixture carried before TARIFF-08 the two
numbers are identical, which is why it shipped; on the Belgian
quarter-hourly feed (15-minute MTU, 2025-10-01) `words` read
`dynamic_dayahead from generic_dayahead, 132 h` for 33 hours and the
refusal read `only 1 of 96 hours` for 24.

carry-forward emits ONE HOURLY point per unpublished hour beside the
feed's four-per-hour firm ones, so the measured overstatement over a
40-hour soak ranged 1.79x .. 5.33x as the mix moved. The hour count has
to be COUNTED.
⚠️ IT COUNTS PRICED HOURS, NOT THE HORIZON. FCST-04 leaves an hour out
of the series when neither the feed nor yesterday can price it, so this
is at most the horizon and is smaller whenever the plan has holes - which
is the honest direction for a figure an operator reads as "how far ahead
do I have prices".
