SAFETY-02 review: a latch that a restart clears is not a latch
BLOCKER. `auto` was persisted and `sign_wd.tripped` was not, so reconstructing the Controller against the same store - which is what a container restart does - brought it back ARMED, into the same fault, unattended: tripped=False, banner back to NOT READY, and it resumed commanding -1000 then -2000 W before re-tripping 180 s later. "Restart the add-on" is the first thing an operator looking at a FAILSAFE banner and a 0 W inverter will try, and under a supervisor that restarts a crashed add-on it is a loop of three-minute wrong-direction bursts. DOCS.md's "it does not clear itself" was false across a restart. `sign_tripped` and `sign_reason` are Store keys now, beside the maintenance state and for the reason store.py's own docstring gives. Written the moment the trip happens - reason first, flag second, so a crash between the two can never persist a latch with no explanation - restored in Controller.__init__, cleared only by the operator's start. The regression is covered: reverting the restore fails seven checks in test_watchdog.py. Review follow-ups, no behaviour change: - The arming gate is tested against the REAL arbiter. It is the decision the ticket turns on and it was asserted in three comment blocks and verified by nothing - every case passed `following` in as a literal. Twelve claim configurations now derive it from resolve(), including the redirect case `winner == "loop"` alone would have got wrong and the `lo` limit that raises magnitude without flipping sign. - The MQTT `status: "failsafe"` value is tested. The check that claimed to cover it restated the line above it and never touched the payload. - The worked example described a config that does not ship: at the defaults maintenance_charge_w 2500 against max_w 2000 is an arbiter contradiction and 0 W, not a -2500 W charge. Rewritten at 1500 W. The contradiction is a real pre-existing bug - a default cheap-window maintenance charge silently never happens - filed separately and deliberately not fixed here. - Forward hazard recorded at the gate: `winner == "loop"` disarms the watchdog under any higher-priority SET, and a peak-shaving strategy at P_PEAK IS grid-following in sign, so it would blind this for every peak event. - disagrees() is public so the replay harness stops carrying its own copy of the predicate it grades. - held_s takes the clock instead of reading one. - The two limits are now each stated in both places rather than one each. - The no-false-positive argument is tied to control.py's freeze permitting the command to cross zero; under the shrink-only encoding control.py records as rejected, this would false-trip on a load step. - Measured figures corrected: 93.4 % / 4212 of 17280, per-cluster 0.3/0.9/10.5/0.0, and the near-circularity of those figures is now stated rather than leaned on.

# Changelog

|
||||
## 0.5.1
|
||||
|
||||
**SAFETY-02's latch now survives an add-on restart, which is the difference
|
||||
between a latch and a pause.** `auto` was persisted and `sign_wd.tripped` was
|
||||
not, so reconstructing the `Controller` against the same store — exactly what a
|
||||
container restart does — brought it back **armed, into the same fault, with no
|
||||
operator involved**: `tripped=False`, banner back to `NOT READY`, and it resumed
|
||||
commanding (measured: −1000 W, −2000 W) before re-tripping 180 s later. Under a
|
||||
Supervisor that restarts a crashed add-on that is a loop of three-minute
|
||||
wrong-direction bursts — and "restart the add-on" is the first thing an operator
|
||||
looking at a `FAILSAFE` banner and a 0 W inverter will try.
|
||||
|
||||
`sign_tripped` and `sign_reason` are now `Store` keys beside the maintenance
|
||||
state, written the moment the trip happens (reason first, flag second, so a crash
|
||||
between the two can never persist a latch with no explanation) and restored in
|
||||
`Controller.__init__`. Cleared only by the operator's start. `DOCS.md` said "it
|
||||
does not clear itself"; that was false across a restart and now is not.
|
||||
|
||||
Also in this release, all of it review follow-up rather than new behaviour:
|
||||
|
||||
- **The arming gate is tested against the real arbiter.** It was the decision the
|
||||
whole ticket turns on and it was asserted in three comment blocks and verified
|
||||
by nothing — every case passed `following` in as a literal. `test_watchdog.py`
|
||||
now derives it from `resolve()` across twelve claim configurations, including
|
||||
the redirect case `winner == "loop"` alone would have got wrong and the `lo`
|
||||
limit that raises magnitude without flipping sign.
|
||||
- **The MQTT `status: "failsafe"` value is tested.** The check that claimed to
|
||||
cover it restated the assertion three lines above it and never touched the
|
||||
payload.
|
||||
- **A forward hazard written down where it will be read.** `winner == "loop"`
|
||||
disarms the watchdog under any higher-priority SET claim. Today only
|
||||
maintenance and the safety stops emit one and neither follows the meter; a
|
||||
peak-shaving strategy at `P_PEAK` **does**, and would blind the watchdog for
|
||||
every peak event. Noted at the gate itself, with what has to change.
|
||||
- **The worked example described a configuration that does not ship.** At the
|
||||
defaults `maintenance_charge_w` (2500) exceeds `max_w` (2000), so that claim is
|
||||
an arbiter *contradiction* resolving to 0 W, not a −2500 W charge. The example
|
||||
is now written at 1500 W. (The contradiction is a real pre-existing bug —
|
||||
a default cheap-window maintenance charge silently never happens — filed
|
||||
separately, deliberately not fixed here.)
|
||||
- **`disagrees()` is public**, so `sim/replay_sign.py` stops carrying its own copy
|
||||
of the predicate it grades.
|
||||
- `held_s` takes the clock instead of reading one, restoring the pure-function
|
||||
property the module advertises.
|
||||
- Measured figures corrected throughout: 93.4 % / 4212 of 17280 (was 92.9 % /
|
||||
4127 of 16349), per-cluster 0.3 / 0.9 / 10.5 / 0.0 %.
