UX-13 P4: the setup wizard for installers

The Setup tab draws the Installer view's page model one step at a time,
from each field's `wizard` step in app/uilayout.py: meter (with the kettle
test), inverters and batteries, solar (optional), prices, peak limit
(battery modes: "comes in a later update", OPT-11), check and start.
It reuses P2's controls and saves through /config/validate and
/config/save. No route was added.

- First run: /config/model says `setup_needed` when the stored options name
  no power request entity, or on a new install (no `setup_done` and no
  `auto` in the Store, control not started). The page opens #setup only
  when opened with no route. The wizard's save writes `setup_done`.
- Kettle test: GET ha/entities?entity= reads one entity now, in W. The
  change decides: up keeps meter_invert off, down turns it on; a net or
  import/export meter that goes down blocks the step with what to check.
- Last step: validate.setup_checks() beside the refusals: the meter reads,
  each power request entity exists in HA (bad if not, SAFETY-77), battery
  levels and power with direction, solar sign, prices. Saves with
  shadow_mode on by default, then a confirmed restart naming the 0 W.
- P2 test finding (a): a stale save lists only the keys the other surface
  moved (the blob handed out on open, by fingerprint, against stored now).
- test_setup.py; tools/ux13_wizard_blobs.py makes the 88 blobs the wizard
  can save; all accepted by Supervisor 2026.08.0 AppOptions (offline).

+# UX-13 P4 — the setup wizard, and when it opens by itself
+
+**Status: DECIDED 2026-09-28 (P4 dev; the design and mockup were approved
+2026-09-27).** Card 6ab979852f3eca02fb40f69e. Builds on
+[[UX-13-one-layout-table]]. Design note: `goodwe-session/UX-13-design.md` §1, §3.6.
+
+## 1. What the wizard is
+
+The Setup tab draws the Installer view's page model one step at a time: a
+field is on step *n* when its `uilayout.Field` says `wizard=n`. It uses P2's
+controls, `/config/validate` and `/config/save`. No route was added.
+`uilayout.py` holds what a field cannot say: the kettle table (`KETTLE`), the
+optional step and the shadow switch (`SHADOW`). Step 5 has no battery modes
+yet (OPT-11); it says they come later.
+
+A step moves on when no refusal is anchored to one of its shown fields
+(`uipage.step_problems`). A refusal on a hidden field, a field on no step or
+no field at all blocks the last step, which lists every refusal.
+
+## 2. When it opens by itself (`uipage.setup_needed`)
+
+The page opens `#setup` only when it is opened with no route, and only when
+`/config/model` gives a reason:
+
+- **`no_power_request`**: the stored options name no inverter to control.
+- **`first_start`**: the Store has no `setup_done` and no `auto` key, and
+  control is not started. `auto` is the key Start/Stop writes, and
+  config.yaml ships `auto_start` off (the same "fresh install" reading as
+  app/shadow.py's `auto` default), so this is a site that has never run or
+  been stopped by hand and never finished the wizard.
+
+A site that runs control, or ever started or stopped it, is never sent to the
+wizard. Without a Store the answer is no. The wizard's save writes
+`setup_done` (an ISO time) to the Store. A save from the Installer view does
+not.
+
+**Not decided here, for the owner:** the add-on exits 78 before it serves the
+page when the stored options name no power request entity, which is what a
+brand-new install ships (config.yaml's `setpoint_entity: ""`). So on a truly
+new install the installer fills in "Inverter setpoint entity" on the
+Configuration tab first, and the wizard opens on the next page visit.
+Serving a setup-only page from a refused configuration would change the CFG-01
+startup gate and UX-02 §4 ("the panel is not available when it is most
+needed"), so it is left as an open question.
+
+## 3. The kettle test and the sign checks
+
+Step 1 reads the meter's entities now (`GET ha/entities?entity=`, one
+`hass.state()` read, in W) before and after a kettle is switched on. The
+change, not the sign, decides: a rise of at least 500 W keeps `meter_invert`
+off, a fall turns it on. For a net entity or import and export, a fall cannot
+be fixed by an option, so the step is not passed and the page says what to
+check. A meter the add-on reads itself (HomeWizard, MQTT) cannot be read by
+the page, so the test is skipped and Home shows the direction after the
+restart. The installer may skip the test; the last step then warns.
+
+The battery and solar signs cannot be forced from the page, which never
+commands an inverter. The last step reports each battery's reading with its
+direction ("reads 800 W charging now, so check the inverter shows the same")
+and warns when a solar entity reads below zero without its "reads negative"
+switch.
+
+## 4. The last step
+
+`validate.setup_checks()` sits beside the rules because it names option keys.
+It reads nothing itself: `web.py` passes a Home Assistant entity list at most
+5 s old, the running options, the running meter reading and today's price
+count. Tiers are ok, info, warn and bad. A power request entity missing from
+Home Assistant is **bad**, because a write to it is answered 200 (SAFETY-77)
+and only the entity list can tell. The wizard does not save while anything is
+bad. It then saves through P2's path (`setup: "done"`) and asks for the
+restart as the second, confirmed request, with a dialog that names the 0 W.
+The shadow switch is on by default and writes `shadow_mode: on`, which holds
+every inverter at 0 W after a restart even if control is started. Off keeps the
+stored value, or `auto` if that was `on`.
+
+## 5. The stale save lists only what moved (P2 test, finding a)
+
+`/config/model` remembers the last 16 blobs it handed out, by fingerprint. On a
+stale save the add-on compares that blob with what is stored now, so the banner
+lists only the other surface's changes. `changed` (stored against the posted
+blob) is unchanged for the classic page's "theirs → mine" list. When the
+fingerprint was not handed out by this process, it falls back to `changed`.
+
+## 6. How it is held
+
+- test_setup.py: the steps and tables, the kettle logic (and the page's copy of
+  it), step blocking, the first-run rule on new and TEST-23 sites, the live
+  checks, the save through the P2 path, the stale fix, and the words.
+- tools/ux13_wizard_blobs.py produces every blob the wizard can save from a new
+  install and three TEST-23 sites (88 accepted by the shipped validator). At P4
+  all 88 were accepted by Supervisor 2026.08.0's `AppOptions`, offline, 78
+  keys each.

+### Setup, for a new install
+
+The **Setup** tab walks an installer through six steps: the meter, the
+inverters and batteries, solar (optional), prices, the peak limit, and a last
+check. Each step shows the same fields as Settings, and nothing is saved until
+the last step.
+
+- **The kettle test** on the meter step reads the meter, then reads it again
+  after you switch on a kettle. If the reading goes down, the add-on flips its
+  sign for you; with a net or import/export meter it tells you what to change.
+- **The last step** runs the add-on's own start checks and reads Home
+  Assistant: the meter reading, that each power request entity exists, the
+  battery levels, and whether prices are known. A missing power request entity
+  is red, so it cannot be saved.
+- **Save and restart** saves, then restarts the add-on. Every inverter is set
+  to 0 W while it restarts, and with "Start in shadow mode" on (the default) it
+  stays at 0 W until you turn shadow mode off under Settings.
+
+Setup opens by itself when the page is opened on a new install: control was
+never started or stopped and Setup never finished, or the stored settings name
+no inverter to control. A running site is never sent there. The add-on does
+not start with no power request entity at all, so on a brand-new install fill
+in "Inverter setpoint entity" on the Configuration tab first.
