TEL-14: PV sign declared per entity (pv_invert_entities)
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 8m39s

Some PV entities (kWh meters, ESPHome clamps in the PV circuit) read positive
for consumption and negative for production. `pv_invert_entities` lists the
ones to flip; the flip is applied per member inside pv.total(), before the sum,
so the MQTT `pv` row and the status page carry the corrected figure. Default []
is byte-identical to 0.12.0.

Shape measured in supervisor_shape_probe.py section H (Supervisor 2026.08.0):
a parallel list validates the 0.12.0 blob unchanged and renders as its own
translated repeatable field; dicts on pv_entities refuse 0.12.0's stored
strings; a prefix is invisible syntax; a global bool cannot describe a mixed
roster. Status page marks flipped entities and cautions per entity below
-50 W, saying ADD or REMOVE. Telemetry only: control documents unchanged.

Record: DECISIONS/TEL-14-pv-sign.md (reverses TEL-11 section 2).

reporting 0-where-there-was-production, one layer up, and it is refused for the
same reason.
THE SIGN CONVENTION: POSITIVE IS PRODUCTION. Derived from the two conventions
this add-on already ships rather than assumed:
`meter_entity` positive = IMPORTING from the grid (DOCS.md, Sources)
`batt_entity` positive = DISCHARGING the pack (DOCS.md, Sources)
Both are "positive = power arriving at the house's AC bus", and production
arrives there too. There is deliberately NO `pv_invert` to go with
`meter_invert` and `batt_invert`: those two quantities are BIPOLAR and are READ
BY THE CONTROL PATH - a reversed `batt_entity` feeds SAFETY-30's per-unit sign
check and SAFETY-31's circulating-power sensor with a plausible number the site
then acts on - whereas production is unipolar and is read by nothing. A reversed
PV sensor announces itself as -4 kW at noon in the very history this card
creates, and flipping it here would only hide it. See
`DECISIONS/TEL-11-pv-production.md` §2.
THE SIGN CONVENTION: POSITIVE IS PRODUCTION, as for `meter_entity` and
`batt_entity` ("power arriving at the house's AC bus"). TEL-14: a kWh meter or
power clamp in the PV circuit reads the other way, so `pv_invert_entities`
flips the sign per entity. See `DECISIONS/TEL-14-pv-sign.md`.
