glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 6864109a01 SAFETY-37: a stale reading is None, and arrival cannot be what says so
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 5m34s
The architect pass made SAFETY-37, TEL-06 and TEL-08 one systemic problem -
"a stale reading holds its last value and reads healthy" - and this builds the
single policy. Both consumers the card names are gated by one change, and
neither consumer needed a line: `SignWatchdog.evaluate` already CLEARS its
window on a None measurement and `circulating_w` already returns None for a
roster with a missing term. Neither could ever receive one. The gate is the
piece that was missing BETWEEN the shipped read and the shipped checks.

⚠️ ONE CRITERION IN THE CARD COULD NOT BE IMPLEMENTED AS WRITTEN, AND SAYING SO
IS THE MAIN CONTENT. The card says "only arrival separates them". At this layer
arrival cannot: `read_inputs()` polls Home Assistant's state cache about once a
second and HA answers 200 with a number whether or not the publisher behind the
entity is alive, so both members of the pair arrive identically for ever.
test_freshness.py part 1a BUILDS the arrival-age gate the card asks for and
grades it failing - the age is 0.0 s at every instant of both runs, a threshold
that can never fire, which is TEL-06's own defect one layer up. The half of the
rule that survives is honoured absolutely: nothing here reads a Home Assistant
timestamp, and the check asserts the module contains no `last_updated`.

So the criterion became: a reading is stale when it has not moved through a
change it was OBLIGED to follow.

    STALE  <=>  unchanged >= 35 s
                AND |standing| >= 250 W
                AND |standing - standing when the reading last changed| >= 250 W

Latched until a different value arrives. `Inverter.batt` becomes None - never a
held number - which is a missing input, which §11.1 rule 1 answers with 0 W.

WHY A CONJUNCTION AND NOT A THRESHOLD, MEASURED 2026-09-06. Replaying the
committed 30-day capture of this house's own 1 W power entity (485,841 samples
out of HA's recorder, where a row exists only on a CHANGE, so the gap between
rows IS the unchanged duration every consumer saw): the longest legitimate
unchanged run is 263.2 s, held at -899.0 W. A false-positive-free threshold
would have to exceed that, and 263 s is 3.5x too slow for a consumer that trips
at 75 s. There is no admissible threshold. Every one of those long runs is
under an UNMOVING load, which is what the travel term keys on.

THE BOUND, derived at both ends and graded against the shipped config.yaml.
Floor 17.0 s = 6.0 plant settle (NOTES §5.9, measured 2026-08-22) + 10.0
ESPHome publish (firmware/goodwe-master.yaml:181) + 1.0 read period
(run_control's asyncio.sleep(1)). Ceiling 75.0 s = min(circulation_hold_s 75,
unit_sign_disagree_s 85). Band [34.0, 37.5]; 35 is a CHOICE inside a DERIVED
band and the check says so - the first draft claimed the band held one integer
and went red on its own first run. MOVE_W is the LARGEST admissible value,
unit_sign_disagree_w, because below it the consumer cannot speak at all.

SoC is STATED, NOT WIRED, and BOUNDS carries it with wired=False and the reason.
Its obligation term is energy through the pack, not command travel - a rested
pack holds a percent for hours under a 0 W command - and K needs a usable
capacity nobody has measured. That is TEL-08's; the record says so.

⚠️ BEHAVIOUR CHANGES AT THE SHIPPED ROSTER OF ONE, and it is named rather than
hidden: a FROZEN register now stops the site where it used to read as a healthy
measurement for ever. That is HW-01, which was a one-inverter site. A healthy
install is unchanged, asserted over sixty reads of a dithering register under a
reversing command. A false verdict fails toward 0 W behind the existing
stale_input_s hold and clears itself on the register's next move.

⚠️ BOTH UNITS IN EVERY TWO-INVERTER FIXTURE ARE INVERTER A with different
numbers passed in; inverter B does not physically exist (~2026-09-12).

MUTATION: 16 mutations against a purged, :ro, python3 -B tree, fingerprinted
before and after every revert. One survivor, and it is the finding - dropping
the magnitude term left every check green because no fixture separated "the
command travelled 250 W" from "the command ended up above 250 W". Closed, and
recorded as MUTATION.md habit 17. A second process defect is habit 18: a
mutation run that timed out between the edit and the revert left the module
mutated on disk and nothing announced it.

Claude Opus 5 e2efc765af SAFETY-38 round 4: the enumeration covered one sink, and it was not the one this codebase uses
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 5m12s
The scanner's two censuses between them scored ONE syntactic sink and called it
the family. Every one of census B's 16 members was a sentence that is APPENDED,
ASSIGNED to a `reason`-shaped name, or passed as a LOG ARGUMENT. Not one was
RETURNED - and census A's return bucket only ever held a callee formatting its
own PARAMETERS, so a method formatting its own ATTRIBUTES and handing the string
back was invisible to both. That is the whole describe() / explain() /
reason-builder family, which is where this repository actually keeps its
operator sentences. Worse than the gap: it was in NONE of the five blind spots
the tool printed about itself.

THE SCANNER, WIDENED - and it rediscovered both members without being told:

  * CENSUS C, the return sink, resolved through the returning method's CALL
    SITES so a returned KEY (store.unit_key, mqtt.unit_state_key - MAINT-05's
    card) is not mistaken for a returned SENTENCE. 53 returned pairs, 39
    reaching an operator, 16 of those sharing a format spec.
  * A sentence handed to a constructor as `reason=` or placed under a "text"
    dict key is a MESSAGE. That one line of the sink walker was hiding SIX more
    caller-built members, census B 16 -> 22.
  * Every census B and C row now prints whether the two interpolations share a
    FORMAT SPEC - the difference between a transposition that is silent and one
    that merely looks broken.
  * The blind-spot list is now TWO lists: what it scans (printed from the
    constants, so they cannot drift) and WHAT IT DOES NOT SCAN AT ALL, largest
    hole first - `%s`-style lazy logging, MEASURED at 31 calls across 8 modules
    and each one listed, not asserted.

CLOSED, both zero-byte survivors of a green 21-file suite:

  * clamp.py:253 ClampResult.describe(), requested_w <-> applied_w. No
    test_*.py mentioned describe() at all. It is the SS15 action-log row
    (main.py:1366) AND the ClampWatchdog notification reason (main.py:2452) -
    the alarm SAFETY-40 and SAFETY-41 are about. Under the swap the guard
    reports a setpoint clamped UPWARD, to +9999 W by a bound whose rating the
    same sentence gives as 2000 W. Pinned on the ORDERED PAIR on the contiguous
    literal at BOTH consumers, operands read off ctl.target and
    hass.writes[-1] - what the loop asked and what the device was sent - not
    off the ClampResult the swap lives in. 4 checks red.
  * peakguard.py:493 PeakDecision.explain(), projected_w <-> ceiling_w. "peak
    guard idle" was in no test_*.py. The row then reads "projects 5013 W under
    a 2300 W ceiling" - 2713 W OVER - on a row whose own words say idle and
    whose own flag says ok. Pinned on the decision and on the shipped status
    row. 3 checks red.
  * test_arbiter.py's scope-violation check, whose CLAIM was wider than its
    ASSERTION. Measured this round rather than left at source level: 0 bytes,
    21/21 green before, red now. 2 checks.

DISCLOSED, NOT CLOSED - 11 measured zero-byte survivors, each with its file
fingerprint and its 21/21 verdict, in the decision doc SS7e-SS7g. Three in
allocator.py's UnitPlan.explain(), three across arbiter.py's two explain()s,
two in tariff.py, two in arbitrage.py's trade reasons, one in main.py's
SoC-floor notification. An enumerated list with honest gaps beats a fifth round
finding a fifth instance.

CORRECTIONS THIS ROUND OWES:

  * The idle sentence does NOT reach main.py:3299/3302 - those are the
    floor-limited branch, where explain() returns self.reason before the idle
    literal is built. It reaches main.py:3313 and, on the release edge, 1951.
    1951 is disclosed unpinned.
  * SS4's "Every one of the ten is red" sat under a twelve-row table: it is the
    ten site_standing entries.
  * SS6b said "weaker evidence than A1-A3"; A4 was measured, so SS7d's
    "A1-A4 and B1" is the right list and SS6b now says it.
  * AND THE PROBE THAT GRADES THESE MUTATIONS WAS THE DEFECT, ONCE. Its first
    cut numbered the operands BY ORDER OF APPEARANCE, so after a transposition
    the other leaf took the same number and all thirteen mutant renders came
    back byte-identical - which reads exactly like "the edit is inert". Keying
    the value to the NAME fixed it. Habit 4, in the measuring instrument:
    MUTATION.md habit 16 is the new entry, and the count there is corrected to
    eleven rather than inflated.

14 mutations measured: fresh full-repo copy each, mounted :ro, bytecode purged
and the purge COUNT printed, the edit re-read from disk, length and sha256
printed on both sides, and every one required to change the EMITTED SENTENCE
and not merely the bytes. 12 survived the pre-round suite, 1 was already
caught, 3 are caught now. Full 21-file suite green on the final tree.

NOT ONE BYTE OF app/ MOVES. This card changes coverage only.

adminandClaude Opus 5 357cb4f07f SAFETY-38 round 3: pin the banner the SHIPPED install actually prints
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 5m12s
Round 2 pinned the operand order of `SignWatchdog.evaluate()` at main.py:1620 -
the SITE detector. Part 9c asserts that detector is never armed at a roster of
one, so on every install this add-on has, the PER-UNIT banner is the only
sign-disagreement sentence that can ever be printed, and its call site is a
different line. main.py:1560 was left unpinned.

1. THE SAME ZERO-BYTE DEFECT ONE CALL SITE OVER.
   `evaluate(stood, against, ...)` -> `evaluate(against, stood, ...)`:
   app/main.py 234 542 bytes before and after, delta 0, fingerprint
   61aa413f... -> e57e6026..., bytecode purged, tree mounted :ro, line re-read
   from disk. On the round-2 tree the FULL 21-FILE SUITE PASSES.

   Nothing behavioural could ever have caught it. `watchdog.disagrees()` is
   SYMMETRIC in its first two arguments - `commanded_w * against_w < 0` with an
   abs() gate on both - so the mutant takes identical actions on every input.
   Not "no fixture happens to separate them": no fixture CAN.

   What moves is the sentence. Measured by diffing the suite's own printed
   banners between the round-3 tree and the same tree carrying only this edit:
   9 emitted banner lines invert, in 3 distinct sentences.

     shipped  commanded -2000 W against a meter reading +2000 W
     swapped  commanded +2000 W against a meter reading -2000 W
     shipped  commanded +1000 W against its own measured power -1000 W
     swapped  commanded -1000 W against its own measured power +1000 W
     shipped  commanded -2000 W against a meter reading +4000 W   (the N=1 arm)
     swapped  commanded +4000 W against a meter reading -2000 W

   Persisted to `sign_reason` and re-read after the restart the latch exists to
   survive; also the action log, `_LOG.error` and `status_payload()`'s headline.

   CLOSED by the ORDERED PAIR on both per-unit banners, both operands read off
   the OBSERVED CYCLE - `inv.last_write` and `inv.batt` off the objects the
   plant moved, never off the arguments the detector was handed, which would
   compare the swap against itself:
     - part 3, the N>=2 trip: "commanded {stood:+.0f} W against its own
       measured power {meas:+.0f} W", plus the persisted namespaced copy;
     - part 7, the N=1 controller-driven trip: "commanded {stood:+.0f} W
       against a meter reading {grid:+.0f} W", plus the namespaced key AND the
       flat rollback mirror;
     - a PRECONDITION on each that the two operands are different numbers of
       opposite sign - without it a transposition produces the same string and
       the check is decoration.

   Measured after the fix: RED on four named checks in test_watchdog.py, GREEN
   in the other twenty files. M11 (the site swap) re-measured on this tree:
   still red. Round 1's and round 2's kills are intact.

2. A FALSE STATEMENT ROUND 2 INTRODUCED, AND IT WAS WORSE THAN REPORTED.
   Section 4 said "three of these left the whole suite green - M1, M2 and M3 -
   and the remaining seven were caught by SAFETY-30's own N>=2 checks". Round
   1's vaguer wording was harmless; naming three made it specific and wrong.

   Re-measured mutation by mutation on clean release/1.0 @ bbc903b, each on a
   fresh copy, bytecode purged, byte delta and fingerprint printed, FULL 21-FILE
   SUITE each time:

     M1  +24 B  fp 362374cf...  21/21 PASS - SURVIVOR
     M2   +9 B  fp 86573e74...  21/21 PASS - SURVIVOR
     M3   +4 B  fp 59fa8815...  21/21 PASS - SURVIVOR
     M4   +9 B  fp 43d852be...  21/21 PASS - SURVIVOR
     M5  +16 B  fp 58d26de8...  RED  test_watchdog.py, 3 checks
     M6   +1 B  fp 407ddb5f...  RED  test_watchdog.py, 3 checks
     M7  -11 B  fp 2a635a4e...  21/21 PASS - SURVIVOR
     M8   +6 B  fp b21eed89...  21/21 PASS - SURVIVOR
     M9   +6 B  fp 0973d3ca...  21/21 PASS - SURVIVOR
     M10  +7 B  fp 0e7b7a4f...  21/21 PASS - SURVIVOR

   EIGHT survived, not three - and not the four a reviewer proposed either.
   The corrected sentence is in DECISIONS section 4.

   AND THE TWO THAT WERE CAUGHT MAKE THE CARD'S CASE. M5 (`sum(abs ...)`) and
   M6 (`-sum`) are the only two entries that reverse the SIGN. Every other one
   changes only the MAGNITUDE, and `_sign_site` - the suite's only N>=2 site
   fixture before this card - runs shares of about -2500 W each against a 320 W
   gate, so sum / mean / max / min / sorted[-1] / [0] / self.target / half /
   double land on -2500, -2500, -2500, -2500, -2500, -2500, -2500, -1250 and
   -5000 W: nine numbers, ALL ON THE SAME SIDE OF THE SAME THRESHOLD. The
   pre-existing coverage could see a sign and nothing else.

3. THEN THE THING THAT WOULD HAVE CAUGHT BOTH: the SYMMETRIC-PREDICATE FAMILY,
   enumerated by machine rather than by hand for a third time.
   `tools/symmetric_message_scan.py` renames each parameter pair, erases every
   formatted string, canonicalises the commutative operators and iterates to a
   FIXPOINT - the symmetry is usually one call deep, and a single pass reports
   an EMPTY family on a tree whose answer is already known. A second census
   covers sentences the CALLER builds. Both print their own blind spots,
   including the one way the scan OVER-reports.

   It found one open survivor this card does not close and now discloses:
   rail_unreachable()'s dev_min/dev_max at main.py:3208 - 0 bytes, 21/21 green,
   a status-page NOT COVERED row - and twelve unpinned caller-built sentences,
   including SAFETY-31's `circ_reason`, which is the same shape and is also
   persisted and re-read after a restart. DECISIONS section 7 has the list, the
   pinned status of every member, and what the instrument cannot see.

No app/ code changes. MUTATION.md gains habit 15.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 564ba11c11 SAFETY-38 round 2: assert the ordered pair, and correct the M3 attribution
Two blockers, one of them mine to fix and one a mis-measurement to undo. No
`app/` change in either: the shipped `sum` is correct.

1. A ZERO-BYTE SURVIVOR AT THE CALL SITE ONE LINE BELOW THE PINNED VALUE.
   Round 1 pinned `site_standing` and never pinned WHERE IT GOES. Swapping the
   detector's first two arguments at main.py:1620 -
   `evaluate(site_standing, self.grid, ...)` -> `evaluate(self.grid, site_standing, ...)`
   - is a ZERO-BYTE edit and left the round-1 tree fully green. The cost is the
   banner: the site stands at -500 W of charge into a +2500 W import and the
   LATCHING, SITE-STOPPING alarm reads "commanded +2500 W against a meter
   reading -500 W" - which instrument read what, inverted, on the one line
   somebody woken by it reads first (watchdog.py:658-665).

   Round 1's check could not reach it. It asserted `"-500 W"` appears SOMEWHERE
   in the sentence; under the swap it still does, IN THE METER SLOT. A substring
   test grades PRESENCE, never ARRANGEMENT. It now asserts the ORDERED PAIR:
   `f"commanded {sum:+.0f} W against a meter reading {grid:+.0f} W"`. Measured:
   red in test_watchdog.py on that one named check, green in the other twenty.

2. THE M3 ATTRIBUTION WAS FALSE, AND HOW IT BECAME FALSE IS THE USEFUL PART.
   Round 1 recorded `list(standing.values())[0]` as closed by SAFETY-32's
   package-wide pin and told future authors NOT TO RE-COVER IT. Re-measured on
   release/1.0 @ 86eaef2 carrying only that edit: the full 21-file suite is
   GREEN and test_peakguard.py is PASS PASS PASS PASS PASS in isolation. THE
   MUTATION SURVIVES. It was originally measured once, that run hit CI-06's
   ~20% flake, and the red was recorded as a kill.

   The mechanism, read off 12j's own enumeration rather than argued: 12j taints
   names BOUND to roster values and lists ACCUMULATED in a loop. `standing` is a
   dict filled by SUBSCRIPT assignment (main.py:1554/1558), so it never enters
   the taint set and 1599 is not a roster site. On the mutated tree 12j lists
   main.py:1553, 1555 and 1690 - not 1599. Part 9a and 9b close it.

   Corrected in all four places it was committed: DECISIONS section 1 and
   section 4, CHANGELOG, and the part 9 header that carried the instruction.

MEASUREMENT, all on 86eaef2, fresh copy per mutation, mounted :ro, bytecode
purged by tools/mutation_run.sh, edit re-read from disk, byte delta printed:
  * M1-M10 re-run INDEPENDENTLY rather than carried forward - all 10 red, at
    the deltas the table records (M1/M2/M4 re-run in the exact wrapped form).
  * M11, the argument swap: 0 bytes, red on one check in one file.
  * W1 `"sign_site": SCOPE_SITE -> SCOPE_UNIT`: 0 bytes, red; part 9a is one of
    the two killers.
  * W2 `"circulation": SCOPE_SITE -> SCOPE_UNIT`: 0 bytes, red - but ENTIRELY
    on pre-existing checks. This card adds nothing to circulation and does not
    claim it.
Control: 21/21 green before and after. The suite is 21 files, not 20 - TEL-07
added test_mqtt.py in the rebase onto 86eaef2.

DECISIONS section 6a enumerates what was NOT closed: SAFETY-31's circ_wd
detector itself, the other eight CLAIM_SCOPE entries, actuator_of()'s body, the
n_units > 1 guard, and the fact that the "green in the other twenty files" half
of the ledger was re-verified on 86eaef2 only for M3 and M11.

MUTATION.md gains habit 14 - assert the ordered pair, not the substring - and
records this as the tenth instance of the family, found INSIDE THE FIX WRITTEN
TO CLOSE THE NINTH, for the second time in that list.

adminandClaude Opus 5 a8bd2b9330 SAFETY-38: pin site_standing with shares that cannot answer for the site
`app/main.py:1598`'s `site_standing = float(sum(standing.values()))` is the
first argument of SAFETY-30's latching, site-stopping sign detector AND the
`commanded_w` handed to SAFETY-18's `looks_frozen()`. It was pinned by nothing.
Coverage only: not one byte of `app/` moves - the shipped `sum` is correct.

WHY THE SUITE COULD NOT SEE IT. `_sign_site`, the only N>=2 site fixture in the
repository, runs shares of about -2500 W EACH - every one individually over its
320 W gate - so sum, mean and max(key=abs) all agree on it. Its values happen to
be equal, and a check comparing two things that happen to be equal cannot see
the difference it names. MUTATION.md habit 4, ninth instance, inside the site
half of the card that names the rule in its own text. At N=1 it is arithmetic
rather than a fixture defect: sum == mean == max == the one share, identically.

THE FIXTURE (test_watchdog.py part 9). Two SIMULATED units rated 220 W and
280 W, both obeying exactly, inverted gain, house importing 2000 W: the site
commands -500 W against a +2500 W meter and NO SINGLE SHARE clears the shipped
300 W gate. Four candidate reductions, four distinct answers, one over the gate
- sum -500, mean -250, max(key=abs) -280, [0] -220 - asserted as a precondition.
The asymmetry is load-bearing, and the smaller unit is first so [0] stays
distinct from max(key=abs). Gate shipped; only the hold is shortened.

BOTH CONSUMERS. 9b drives the same discrimination at SAFETY-18's threshold: the
site rail is 0.95 x 500 = 475 W, so the sum rails it while 250, 280 and 220 do
not. Shipped: BLIND_FROZEN, floor 0 W. Under both surviving mutations: not blind
at all, no floor filed - the battery may keep importing through a quarter whose
billed average is unobservable. The open quarter is backfilled with the stuck
reading so the mutant cannot reach the same action by the coverage route and
mask the difference. 9c asserts the N=1 identity on a real one-inverter tree.

SAFETY-32 already closes `list(standing.values())[0]` structurally and this card
does not claim it. Its disclosed blind spot - semantics are invisible to a shape
pin, permanently - is why the mean and max(key=abs) needed a behavioural set.

AND THE SEARCH FOR THE NEXT SURVIVOR FOUND ONE. `float(self.target)` - the
arbiter's site target instead of the sum of what stands on the wire - is -11 B
and survives all 20 files on untouched release/1.0 @ f72c48d, because every
fixture that existed was built where the two are the same number. They separate
when a device's reported range is narrower than its max_w: the `device` claim is
filed per actuator and never bounds the site target. Closed here by a
counterfactual that asks for -500 W while -250 W stands.

10 mutations of that one line, each on a fresh full-repo copy mounted :ro,
purged by tools/mutation_run.sh, the edit re-read from disk and the byte delta
printed. Ledger and honest gaps in DECISIONS/SAFETY-38-site-standing-pin.md.

adminandClaude Opus 5 19decf433f SAFETY-32 round 5: stop closing sites, build an instrument that finds its own scope
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 4m59s
Rounds 2, 3 and 4 each closed exactly the survivor they were handed and each time
the reviewer found the same shape one step over: the reduction, the call site, the
sibling argument, and now the sibling MODULE. Round 4's enumeration stopped at the
`Controller` class boundary; round 5's four blockers were reductions in validate.py,
over a list DERIVED from the roster three calls away from it. Closing four more sites
by hand would have produced a fifth rejection, so this round widens the instrument
instead and lets it enumerate.

⚠️ THE BLOCKERS ARE NOT EQUIVALENT MUTANTS - a safety refusal disappears, verified by
calling the shipped validator both ways on the real tree:

  roster max_w 5000 (inverter-a) beside 2000 (inverter-b), sign_disagree_w 3000
    clean                        -> 1 problem, "...max_w (inverter-b) is 2000 W, so the
                                    SAFETY-02 sign-disagreement watchdog can never fire"
    min(caps[:1])          +4 B  -> 0 problems. The site STARTS.
    caps_ix[:1]            +4 B  -> 0 problems.
  the SAME roster with the small cap FIRST (2000, 5000)
    clean                        -> 1 problem, naming inverter-a
    min(caps[-1:])         +5 B  -> 0 problems.

⚠️ AND THE ONE-ROSTER FIXTURE COULD NOT HAVE SEEN THAT. On [5000, 2000] the `[-1:]`
mutant still refuses, because last IS min there. A fixture of N members cannot separate
two reductions that agree on N members - which is why the behavioural half below is a
SET and not a roster.

THE INSTRUMENT (test_peakguard.py part 12j, widened past `Controller`)

Every `.py` under app/ is read off disk and parsed - NO MODULE IS NAMED IN THE CHECK -
and the roster is found by transitive closure from ONE seed, the `inverters` option key:
through returns, through lists ACCUMULATED in a loop over a roster (which is exactly
what `caps`, `roster` and `problems` are, and what round 4's rule could not express),
through attributes and properties, and THROUGH CALL ARGUMENTS, which is how it walks
into peakguard, arbiter, allocator, circulation, maintenance and store without being
told they exist. A slice of a roster stays a roster so a mutation cannot cut the taint;
an index is one unit and does not.

  183 roster reductions across 9 modules, out of 23 files parsed:
  main 96, allocator 24, validate 19, arbiter 14, circulation 10, maintenance 10,
  peakguard 4, inverter 3, store 3.  14 modules reduce over no roster at all.

⚠️ THE HAND-WRITTEN MODULE LIST WOULD HAVE BEEN WRONG IN BOTH DIRECTIONS. It named
watchdog.py, which reduces over no roster at all (SAFETY-30's sign watchdogs are
strictly per-unit), and omitted maintenance.py and store.py, which both do. A vacuous
claim about one module and no claim at all about two others - which is the argument for
computing the scope, made with data.

The pin rediscovers ALL FOUR blockers without being told where to look, and finds a
FIFTH beside them (validate.py:783, rule 5's own message) that no review round named.
Its counterfactual runs at two depths: every enumerated site's expression mutated with
each of the four cuts this card has been defeated by (183 x 4 = 732 spellings, all
reported), and `[:1]` written into app/validate.py at each blocker position with the
WHOLE analysis re-run over the mutated source.

THE SWEEP, AND THE NUMBER THAT MUST NOT BE QUOTED ALONE

All 183 sites mutated to `[:1]`, +4 B each, against the full 19-file suite in
goodwe-addon-ci (:ro, -B, fresh rsync per mutant, 0 .pyc before and after - a read-only
mount cannot write one): 183/183 RED. ⚠️ That is TAUTOLOGICAL on its own, because the
pin makes every slice red. So the 51 whose first red was test_peakguard.py were re-run
with the pin NEUTRALISED:

  145 of 183   a behavioural fixture separates the site from a slice of itself
   38 of 183   ONLY the structural claim. Behaviourally UNGRADED.

All 38 are listed by site with what a `[:1]` there would cost, in the DECISIONS record
and in part 12j itself: 15 are rows and counts on the operator's page, 3 are
`len(targets)` arithmetic beside a write path that IS graded, 6 are allocator internals
ALLOC-01 reaches but not with enough units to separate. NONE of the 38 is closed
behaviourally by this card and none is counted as covered.

THE BEHAVIOURAL HALF, because a shape pin grades an identity and never a meaning

test_validate.py grows a ROSTER SET for the three rules that reduce over
`unit_caps_indexed()`: widths 2, 3, 4, 5 with the one small cap at EVERY position,
14 rosters x 3 rules = 42 runs of the real validator, each asserting the refusal fires
AND names the unit the number came off. Beside it a COMPUTED family table of twelve
candidates - max, first, last, the mean, [:1], [-1:], [:2], [:3], [1:], [:-1], [::2] -
each compared against what the shipped validator actually answered on the same roster.
Only `min` agrees everywhere; a member no roster kills is printed as a NAMED SURVIVOR.

⚠️ A THIRD RULE WAS READING THE FLAT `max_w`, AND IT IS SAFETY-30's

Found by reading the three branches side by side, NOT by the pin - and said that way
because it is the shape of what the pin cannot see. `unit_sign_disagree_w` was graded
against `_number(opts, "max_w", 2000.0)`, three lines under a branch that had already
stopped doing that. Both directions were measured before the fix:

  two 2000 W units + a leftover `max_w: 5000` + unit_sign_disagree_w 3000 -> 0 problems.
  The site started, the status page said `armed`, and the per-inverter watchdog could
  not trip on EITHER unit. Identical sentence to the blocker, one branch over.
  two 5000 W units with NO flat key -> REFUSED against a 2000 W default the operator
  never wrote, for a threshold both units can reach.

It takes the same `weakest` the branch above takes and names the same unit. At a roster
of one `unit_caps()` is `[max_w]`, so the shipped single-inverter refusal is the same
comparison, the same boundary and the same sentence.

MUTATION PROOF (each: bytecode purged and counted 0 before and 0 after, the edit
re-read FROM DISK with the new text present and the old absent, byte delta printed)

  B1  validate min(caps)     -> min(caps[:1])        +4 B  RED test_validate.py
  B2  validate min(caps)     -> min(caps[-1:])       +5 B  RED test_validate.py
  B3  validate caps_ix       -> caps_ix[:1]          +4 B  RED test_validate.py
  B4  validate rule 6 min    -> min(caps_ix[-1:])    +5 B  RED test_validate.py
  B5  validate rule 5 msg    -> min(caps_ix[:1])     +4 B  RED test_validate.py
  B6  validate rule 5b msg   -> min(caps_ix[-1:])    +5 B  RED test_validate.py
  B7  CONTROL: weakest -> max(0.0, weakest)         +10 B  GREEN, as intended
  R3a peakguard max(floors)  -> min(floors)           0 B  RED test_peakguard.py
  R3b peakguard max(floors)  -> max(floors[-2:])     +5 B  RED test_peakguard.py
  R3c main call site packs   -> self.packs[:2]       +4 B  RED test_peakguard.py
  R4a main pack_floor_soc    -> vals[:2]             +4 B  RED test_peakguard.py
  R4b main pack_floor_soc    -> vals[-2:]            +5 B  RED test_peakguard.py
  R4c main pack_floor_soc    -> vals[:3]             +4 B  RED test_peakguard.py
  R4d main cycle() any(...)  -> self.inverters[:1]   +4 B  RED test_watchdog.py

B1-B6 are caught by the BEHAVIOURAL set in test_validate.py, before the pin is reached.
B7 is a deliberate no-op control: `max(0.0, weakest)` is `weakest` for weakest > 0, and
it stays green, so the battery is not merely red for everything.

R3a is a ZERO-byte delta, so the shipped function was called both ways as well:
  packs floors [15.0, 30.0, 20.0], peak_soc_floor 15
  binding_soc_floor(...) = 30.0   the 0-byte mutant would answer 15.0   (+15.0 pp)
  -> the site would discharge to 15 % while pack-b's own BMS cuts out at 30 %.

⚠️ PRODUCTION IS DEGENERATE ON THE FLOOR AXIS. SPIKE-04: pack A and pack B BOTH floor
at 10 %, so a differing floor exists ONLY in the fixtures. That is the argument for
keeping them, not for simplifying them - collapsing them deletes the only data in this
repository that can see the reduction at all. Restated in config.yaml's example, in the
probe and in the fixtures.

⚠️ INVERTER B DOES NOT PHYSICALLY EXIST (~2026-09-12). Every second-unit figure here -
4600 W FROM ITS DATASHEET, 15 % illustrative, the whole roster SET - is SIMULATED and
labelled. Only inverter A's 10 % is read off hardware.

REBASED onto 67e649a. Two conflicts with SPIKE-04a, both in the blocks this card had
rewritten (config.yaml's roster example and the probe's C/D sections). Resolved to carry
BOTH claims, and the probe was RE-RUN rather than hand-merged: `all cases passed` on
ghcr.io/home-assistant/amd64-hassio-supervisor:2026.08.0, transcript updated with the
date. MUTATION.md habit 8 - a committed transcript stitched together out of two runs is
not a measurement.

Suite: 19/19 green in goodwe-addon-ci, mounted :ro, bytecode purged and verified 0
before and after. CI-06: test_peakguard.py run four times in isolation, green each time
(288 ok lines); test_validate.py three times, green each time.

MUTATION.md gains habits 12 and 13: build the instrument once the same shape has been
found twice AND make it discover its own scope, and say what the instrument cannot see
with sizes in the same breath.

adminandClaude Opus 5 8beba0a3e7 SAFETY-32 round 4: the same family at the SIBLING ARGUMENT, and the family enumerated
Rounds 2 and 3 hardened the FLOOR axis - the max inside binding_soc_floor(),
the roster handed to it, Controller.packs, pack_floor_pct()'s conjunction.
peakguard.decide() is handed a SECOND reduction over the same roster beside it,
soc=self.pack_floor_soc, and peakguard.py's own docstring names the two as a
pair. Three rewrites of Controller.pack_floor_soc were green across all 19 files
on 52380c0 and again after the rebase onto 3934ad7:

    min(float(v) for v in vals)  ->  ... vals[:2]   +4 bytes
                                 ->  ... vals[-2:]  +5 bytes
                                 ->  ... vals[:3]   +4 bytes

while [:1], [-1:], [1:], [:-1], max() and the mean were all red. The suite's
separating power on the SoC axis stopped at exactly N=2 - the state the floor
axis was in before round 3.

It changes a real answer: three packs at 50/60/11 %, emptiest THIRD, answers
11.0 shipped and 50.0 mutated. The site is then graded for discharge PERMISSION
against a pack 39 points fuller than the emptiest and spends a pack its own BMS
stops, through sim/inject.py which runs no validator rule.

Round 3's machinery transfers directly. New test_peakguard.py part 12i:
- six REAL Controller.cycle()s, emptiest pack at every position of a three-pack
  roster and both positions of a two-pack one, observable read off
  PeakDecision.soc; cut-outs held flat so the floor axis cannot move the answers
- computed slice and non-slice tables, printed, red naming any live survivor
- a LENGTH SWEEP over the real property, 78 rosters of 1..12 real inverters,
  closing head/tail widths 1-11 and asserting width 12 is unreached
- a NONE-GUARD sweep over the same 78
- THREE exact structural pins: the vals comprehension iterates the bare
  self.inverters, and both any() and min() reduce the whole vals - closing every
  slice width at every roster length, which no bounded fixture can

SPIKE-04: pack B is 4 x Dyness DL5.0C, DoD 90 -> floor 10 % [FROM DATASHEET AND
SERIAL - inverter B does not exist and nothing about it is measured]. Pack A is
DoD 90 -> 10 % and that one IS measured. So production is DEGENERATE on the
floor axis and a differing floor exists ONLY in the fixtures - which is the
argument for keeping them, not for simplifying them. Recorded in CHANGELOG and
DECISIONS so nobody later collapses them to one number. The SoC axis has no such
degeneracy.

AND THE FAMILY, not the member. Every reduction over self.inverters/self.packs
in Controller was found from the AST and mutated to a slice against the full
suite. Eighteen were already graded. FOUR were not, and three of them are
SAFETY-30's, all any(i.sign_wd.tripped for i in self.inverters), each +4 bytes
and green across 19 files - because the only fixture that reached them was a
roster of ONE, where self.inverters[:1] IS self.inverters:

- cycle()'s stale-input hold: a LATCHED unit must take the roster past it or its
  failsafe SET stops being re-filed the moment a poll is missed
- publish()'s status vocabulary: a site holding an inverter at 0 W published
  "running"
- status_payload()'s banner: the one headline on the page

New test_watchdog.py part 8 grades all three with the latch at EACH position
plus a no-latch counterfactual. New part 12j pins all 26 roster comprehensions
in Controller to iterating the roster WHOLE, so a reduction added over a slice
anywhere in the class is red on the line it is written, with no fixture needed.

Two rows reported OPEN rather than closed: _grade_store_migration()'s second
disjunct (now red on 12j, argued equivalent because a unit tripped at startup
implies its namespaced key is set) and cycle()'s undeliverable-unit LOG LINE,
where sorted(...)[:1] is still green - it truncates names in one event message;
the refusal itself is a different expression and is graded.

MUTATION.md gains habits 10 and 11: a fixture of N members cannot separate two
reductions that agree on N, and mutate the SIBLINGS of anything you harden.

No shipped behaviour changed - tests and documentation only. 19/19 green;
all three named survivors and all round-3 mutations verified RED.

adminandClaude Opus 5 905b6fd2b3 MAINT-05 fix round 2: the refusal has to survive the NEXT start, and both marker guards have to be visible
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 5m14s
REJECTED because the fix round's own load-bearing sentence was FALSE, and the
whole suite was blind to that. `_verify_moves()` produced the red the reviewer
reproduced - that half stood - but DECISIONS §2 claimed "`ok` gates the marker,
so a misdirected migration is not stamped and the next start runs it again ...
a re-run is recoverable". THE REFUSAL LASTED EXACTLY ONE START.

MEASURED, Controller level, ONE persisted store, roster ["garage","shed"], flat
last_completed 2026-08-07, call site still handing `inverter-a` on both starts:

    construction 1: ok=False misdirected=4 moved=4 kept=0   marker=<absent>
    construction 2: ok=True  misdirected=0 moved=0 kept=4   marker=1
    history parked under unit/inverter-a/...; marker stamped after ONE restart.

WHY. `_verify_moves()` graded only `rep.moved`. On start 2 the same wrong call
site finds the four keys already present, so rule 1 routes every one of them to
`rep.kept`, `rep.moved` is EMPTY, the roster loop iterates over nothing,
`misdirected` is empty and `ok` is True. Start 3 then takes the
`from_version >= MAINT_SCHEMA_VERSION` early return FOREVER - including after
the call site is fixed. Loud-and-recoverable became silent-and-permanent after
one restart: the exact state store.py's header says must never happen, reached
by the fix written to prevent it.

WHY THE CHECK MISSED IT - the recurring defect, this time INSIDE the remedy.
Part 9b's recovery check was `migrate_maint_keys(_m5, ROSTER[0], ROSTER)` - the
CORRECTED name. It measures recovery along the one path where the operator has
ALREADY fixed the bug. Nothing in the 19 files called `migrate_maint_keys()`
twice with the SAME WRONG `unit`. The check was true and passed for the wrong
reason.

WHAT CHANGED

1. app/store.py `_verify_moves()` grades `set(rep.moved) | set(rep.kept)`.
   Sound by construction: every entry in both lists is a `unit_key(unit,
   legacy)` built from the SAME `unit` argument, so grading `kept` grades the
   same namespace decision `moved` does. A correct call site's `kept` entries
   sit under a roster name and pass; a wrong one cannot launder its namespace by
   having already written it. `migrate_unit_keys()` passes `roster=None` and
   returns before the loop, so it is untouched.

2. test_maintenance.py part 9c - THE CHECK THAT WAS MISSING. Two starts, SAME
   wrong unit, ONE store: the marker is still withheld on the second, the
   refusal names the same roster, the flat history is still there to recover
   from, and a third start with the CORRECTED name still gets a run (which a
   stamped marker would have made impossible). Its PRECONDITION asserts the
   SHAPE of the second report - `moved` empty, `kept` full - so it cannot
   quietly revert to grading 9b's path. Counterfactual beside it: the same two
   calls with the right name are accepted, then skipped as `already at schema`.

3. test_maintenance.py part 9d - THE OTHER GUARD ON THE SAME LINE, and a
   survivor nothing in the repository could see. `if rep.ok:` is
   `not lost and not misdirected`; every check that reached the marker did so on
   a store whose `kept` was empty, so

       if rep.ok:        ->      if rep.ok or rep.kept:        (+12 B)

   stamped the marker on a migration that LOST A MONTH OF HISTORY - defeating
   the older, settled `lost` guard as well as the new one - and ALL 19 SUITES
   WERE GREEN on it (measured at 65cddf3, purged, :ro). 9d's fixture is the one
   shape that separates the guards: two keys already namespaced (`kept`
   non-empty, the mutant's `or` fires) and two whose write the store drops
   (`lost` non-empty), `misdirected` empty throughout.

4. FOUND HERE AND CLOSED: THE SAME MUTATION ONE FUNCTION UP. `migrate_unit_keys()`
   - SAFETY-02's LATCH migration - gates its own marker the same way, and every
   check that reached it ran on a store with an empty `kept`. `if rep.ok or
   rep.kept:` at store.py:307 SURVIVED ALL 19 FILES. It stamps `schema_version`
   on a migration that DROPPED THE LATCH: the guard is off, the file still reads
   `sign_tripped: true`, and the store now says the migration finished, so the
   next start skips the one thing that would re-arm it. test_inverter.py part 10
   now drops the `sign_tripped` write BESIDE an already-namespaced
   `sign_reason`, with the accepted-baseline counterfactual. No source change -
   the shipped gate was right; nothing could see it. Mutation table 34 -> 35.

5. DECISIONS/MAINT-05 §2 CORRECTED. The paragraph that stated the false
   guarantee now states what was measured, why grading `moved` alone could not
   hold, and why the union is sound. §7 records the marker-gate hole found in
   `migrate_unit_keys()` and that it was closed. MUTATION.md gains habit 9 -
   "exercise a refusal a SECOND time with the SAME wrong input, not the
   corrected one" - and two survey rows.

MUTATION LEDGER - 11 mutations, ALL RED on the final tree, every run on a fresh
copy with the bytecode cache purged (entry count printed before and after) and
the tree mounted :ro so none could be written. Two were survivors BEFORE this
commit and both are recorded as such. Full transcript on the PR.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 65cddf35f1 MAINT-05 fix round: grade the migration against the ROSTER, not against the name it was handed
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 4m47s
REJECTED because a survivor undoes AC 5, and it survived for the recurring
reason: two fixture values that must be distinguishable were EQUAL.

THE SURVIVOR. app/main.py:282 mutated from `self.inverters[0].name` to `UNIT_A`
left the full 19-file suite green. `inverter.UNIT_A == "inverter-a"`, and every
two-pack fixture in test_maintenance.py named its first roster entry
"inverter-a" - so the two expressions were the same string in every check that
existed. main.py's own comment made the distinction load-bearing and nothing in
the repository could see whether that comment was true.

THE FAILURE IS REAL. `build_roster()` names a declared roster's entries from the
config and numbers a nameless one POSITIONALLY (`inverter-1`), so "inverter-a"
is not even the fallback. On ["garage","shed"] with a flat last_completed of
2026-08-07 the mutant migrates into unit/inverter-a/, pack 0 reads back None,
and both packs come up believing they have never been recalibrated.

AND IT FAILED SILENTLY, which was the worse half: `_verify_moves()` read back
the keys it had just WRITTEN, under the namespace it had just been HANDED, was
satisfied, and MAINT_SCHEMA_KEY was stamped - so the next start skipped the
migration too. A postcondition that reads back the namespace it was handed
cannot detect being handed the wrong one.

WHAT CHANGED

1. THE POSTCONDITION IS GRADED AGAINST THE ROSTER. `_verify_moves()` takes the
   names the MACHINES read and reports a namespace that is not among them as
   `misdirected` - a new, differently-named failure from `lost`:
     * `lost` is "the store took the write and dropped it" - a storage fault,
       with a harmless-default case (a dropped `last_completed: None` loses
       nothing, because absent and never-recalibrated are the same statement);
     * `misdirected` is "the store did exactly as it was told, by a caller that
       was wrong". There is no harmless-default version of it - a write nobody
       reads is not information whatever its value - so it fails `ok` alone.
   `ok` gates the marker, so a misdirected migration is NOT stamped and the next
   start re-runs it. Asymmetric on purpose: a re-run is recoverable (rule 1
   makes it a no-op, rule 2 left the flat keys to recover from), a silent skip
   is not. Part 9b MEASURES the recovery rather than asserting it.

2. `migrate_maint_keys()` TAKES THE ROSTER IN PLACE OF AN `n_units` COUNT. The
   count was `len(self.inverters)` at the only call site, so the roster carries
   it, and a count beside the names is a second opinion about how many packs
   there are.

3. THE FIXTURES CAN NOW REACH THE FAILURE THEY NAME. Parts 9 and 11 run on
   ["garage","shed"], each behind a PRECONDITION check that the first name is
   not UNIT_A - so an edit that makes them equal again goes red instead of
   making the claims vacuous. Part 11's fixture date is relative to `now`, not
   a literal, so "history preserved" and "history lost" cannot converge as the
   file ages past `interval_days`.

MUTATION LEDGER - all red, purged tree, none at +0 B, full detail on the PR:
   M1  main.py  inverters[0].name -> UNIT_A            -16 B  4 checks red
   M2  store.py drop `roster=names` from _verify_moves -14 B  5 checks red
   M3  store.py drop the misdirected.append            -37 B  5 checks red
   M4  store.py ok: drop `and not self.misdirected`    -25 B  3 checks red
   M5  fixture  garage -> inverter-a (the trap itself)  +4 B  5 checks red
   M6  store.py parts[1] -> parts[-1]                   +1 B  1 check red

FOUND AND NOT FIXED - `migrate_unit_keys()` HAS THE SAME HOLE AND IT IS A LATCH.
It runs BEFORE `build_roster()` (each Inverter restores its latch in its
constructor), so it is handed the constant UNIT_A with no roster to grade
against. On a declared roster a pre-DEV-02 `sign_tripped: true` lands under
unit/inverter-a/sign_tripped, which no unit reads - and
`_grade_store_migration()`, whose whole job is to re-arm exactly this, is
DEFEATED BY THE KEY THE DEFECT WROTE: its "is anything namespaced latched" test
is satisfied by the misdirected value itself. Measured, with the flat-config
counterfactual, and pinned as a running check (test_maintenance.py part 13)
whose assertions state the WRONG behaviour on purpose. It wants its own card:
the remedy is in inverter.py and SAFETY-02's semantics, and a silent expansion
into a safety latch is how a rejected PR becomes a broken one.

Suite: 19/19 PASS, purged tree, bind-mounted :ro in goodwe-addon-ci.
No hardware was touched; every fixture here is SIMULATED and pack B's 3000 W
remains a marked hypothesis.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 22c016fadd CFG-04 fix round: the probe now measures the key it is cited for
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 4m33s
Review blocked this on ONE finding, and it was in the EVIDENCE, not the code.
The design and the shipped behaviour are unchanged.

THE INSTRUMENT DID NOT MEASURE WHAT FOUR DOCUMENTS SAID IT MEASURED

tools/supervisor_shape_probe.py section B validated the RECONSTRUCTED LIVE
options blob - which is missing many required keys that have nothing to do with
this card. Its refusal therefore named whichever of THOSE the validator reached
first: the committed transcript recorded `meter_freeze_s`, the reviewer's run
printed `p1_phase_export_entities`, and a run today printed `sign_disagree_w`.
The string those documents quoted - `Missing option 'inverters' in root` - was
never produced by the instrument.

And section B asserted a bare `not ok`. Any refusal at all satisfied it, so
deleting `inverters: []` from config.yaml left it printing PASS: the probe could
not detect the one regression it is the committed evidence for.

THE UNDERLYING CLAIM IS TRUE AND IS NOW MEASURED PROPERLY

Section B is an ISOLATED COUNTERFACTUAL now: the full shipped `options:` block
(expect accept), and the SAME block with `inverters` removed and nothing else
varying (expect refusal). One key differs, so the refusal has nowhere else to
come from - and the assertion is on the KEY NAME IN THE REFUSAL STRING, so the
line goes red if the refusal is ever about a different key. The probe also exits
non-zero when any case fails; without that a transcript is only evidence to
someone who reads it.

The old live-blob case survives as section B2, relabelled for what it is: an
incomplete reconstruction whose RAW half is refused for unrelated missing keys,
kept because its MERGED half genuinely demonstrates what App.options is.

VERIFIED BY BREAKING IT, WHICH IS THE WHOLE POINT

`inverters: []` deleted from config.yaml, probe re-run against
ghcr.io/home-assistant/amd64-hassio-supervisor:2026.08.0:

  == B. THE LOAD-BEARING ONE: an options blob with no `inverters` key ==
    FAIL  the shipped `options:` block validates AS IT STANDS - ...
          Missing option 'inverters' in root in GoodWe RS485 Controller
  ...
  == 2 CASE(S) FAILED ==

exit 1. Key restored, same image, same command: `== all cases passed ==`, exit
0. The transcript in DECISIONS is that restored run, re-run today, not the old
one.

THE FOUR MIS-CITATIONS

DECISIONS/CFG-04-inverter-roster.md section 4's "section B shows both halves"
sentence and its line-103 transcript; CHANGELOG.md; test_inverter.py's part-9
comment and its part-12 mutation row; and the PR description. All now attribute
the string to section B and say plainly what section B2 does not show. The
part-12 row additionally records that the probe was blind to that mutation until
review, because a mutation table that lists a defeat nothing catches is the
failure this repository keeps finding.

MUTATION.md gains it as the sixth instance of "the check's data cannot reach the
failure it names" - the first found OUTSIDE the suite, in a committed evidence
artifact, because nothing in that document had ever been pointed at tools/. Three
habits with it: assert on the CONTENT of a refusal rather than that one happened;
vary ONE thing, from an ACCEPTED baseline; and treat a committed transcript as a
check subject to the mutation battery.

TWO NON-BLOCKING FINDINGS, ALSO FIXED

  validate.py rules 5 and 6 NAMED THE WRONG INVERTER. `unit_caps()` SKIPS an
  entry with no usable `max_w`, so caps position i stops being roster position i
  the moment one entry is malformed - and rule 5 fed `caps.index(weakest)` to
  `_unit_label()`, which indexes the roster, while rule 6 paired `caps[0]` with a
  hard-wired `_unit_label(opts, 0)`. Right number, another inverter's name: an
  operator sent to the wrong device by the message that exists to stop that. New
  `unit_caps_indexed()` carries the roster index with the cap. It is latent -
  rule 9(d) refuses such a config in the same pass - but that was a property of
  today's rule ordering, not of the code, and validate_startup_config() is also
  sim/inject.py's entry point. Part 10 gains a check that asserts the fixture
  really does desynchronise the two lists, then that both messages name the right
  unit, then the counterfactual: the OLD expressions, on that same config, still
  evaluate to the wrong names.

  DOCS.md called a downgrade "safe". True of the SCHEMA - the older schema drops
  the key with a warning - and incomplete about the ADD-ON: rule 9(e) requires the
  flat `setpoint_entity` be cleared when a roster is declared, so a config that
  downgrades cleanly is by construction one whose flat actuator is blank, and the
  older version has nothing to write to. Confirmed by running release/1.0's own
  validate_startup_config() on that blob: one refusal, naming setpoint_entity.
  Recoverable and loud, but an outage until a field is refilled. The note says so
  now, and tells the operator to write the entity down before downgrading.

19/19 green in the goodwe-addon-ci image.

adminandClaude Opus 5 6b85acb0f1 CFG-04: an operator can declare a second inverter, and the shape was measured
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 4m30s
DEV-02 made every per-device value per-instance - rating, SoC, watchdogs,
heartbeat, store keys - so the code stopped assuming one inverter. The options
schema did not. `build_roster()` returned a list of exactly one and said so in
its own docstring, and there was no `inverters:` key for an operator to write,
so the roster could only ever be a roster of one.

THE SHAPE, AND WHY IT WAS MEASURED RATHER THAN CHOSEN

config.yaml had no list-of-objects anywhere, and `static_profile` carries a
whole tariff structure as a JSON string in a `str?` precisely because a nested
schema was doubted. That is a question about somebody else's software, so it was
answered by running it: `tools/supervisor_shape_probe.py` (committed) runs
Supervisor 2026.08.0's OWN `AppOptions` validator and `SCHEMA_APP_CONFIG`, out
of the release image, against this repository's config.yaml. 2026.08.0 is the
version the live install reports. The full transcript and the argument are in
DECISIONS/CFG-04-inverter-roster.md.

It accepts the list, enforces per-entry types, refuses a missing `name` /
`setpoint_entity` / `max_w` BY NAME, renders the option in the UI as a
repeatable section, and drops the key with a warning under an older schema - so
a downgrade is not the forward trap in reverse.

⚠️ AND THE `inverters: []` DEFAULT IS LOAD-BEARING, WHICH IS THE MEASUREMENT
THAT MATTERED MOST. Supervisor answers `Missing option 'inverters' in root` for
an options blob that has no such key - which every existing install's has, since
the key did not exist when they were written. `App.options` is the shipped
`options:` block deep-merged with the operator's stored one, so the empty
default is the difference between an upgrade nobody notices and an add-on that
cannot start with a schema pinned to the version that would fix it. That is
docs/deploy-rollback.md §4's trap in the FORWARD direction, found before it was
sprung. The merger was checked too: lists override rather than concatenate, so a
non-empty default could not have grown a roster behind the operator's back.

NOTHING IS INHERITED, WHICH IS DEV-02 RESTATED AS A CONFIG RULE

`name`, `setpoint_entity` and `max_w` are required of every entry. An entry that
omits `soc_entity` has no SoC sensor; it does not borrow the flat one. A
three-line fallback would have rebuilt the sibling-grading defect DEV-02 spent a
card removing, in YAML. Defaults still live in exactly one place (CFG-03):
there is no per-entry default anywhere, because there is no optional per-entry
number. A flat `setpoint_entity` left set beside a declared roster is refused
rather than ignored - it names an actuator nothing will write.

TWO PERMISSIVE READERS IN SHIPPED CODE, AND THREE MORE IN THE CHECKS

  validate.py rules 5 and 6 compared their thresholds against the FLAT `max_w`.
  At a roster of two 2000 W units with `max_w: 5000` left over from a
  single-inverter install, `sign_disagree_w: 3000` passed rule 5 while
  SAFETY-02's watchdog could fire on NEITHER unit - rule 5's own failure mode,
  reached through rule 5. They read `unit_caps()` now, which at one inverter is
  `[max_w]` exactly.

  main.py's `run_control()` re-ran the device-rating check behind
  `if self.o.get("setpoint_entity")` - the flat key, which a roster leaves blank
  - so on a two-inverter site no inverter's `max_w` was graded against the
  device it is written to, and the skip was silent. `validate_unit_ranges()`
  grades each unit against its own ESPHome and runs unconditionally.

  test_peakguard.py's `read_option()` and `_schema_bound()` and
  test_inverter.py's `read_schema_max()` matched a STRIPPED line and took the
  first hit, so the nested per-inverter `max_w:` began outranking the flat one -
  silently, and correctly, because the two bounds are the same int(100,5000)
  today. A reader that is right by coincidence is this project's named failure
  mode. All three are anchored at exactly two spaces now; the file's two halves
  disambiguate `peak_cap_w` instead of first-match, and an ambiguous key raises
  rather than picking one. test_tariff.py's copy of the idiom went with them.

THE AUDIT IS A CHECK, NOT A PROMISE

test_inverter.py part 11 finds every config.yaml-reading function in the suite -
transitively, because two of the readers CFG-04 had to change never name the
file - EXECUTES each against a synthetic two-inverter config.yaml whose
per-inverter numbers differ from its flat ones, and fails if any answers with
the per-inverter value. The table is not maintained by hand: the signature
decides, so the eleventh reader is named on its first run. config.yaml declares
`inverters:` BEFORE `max_w:` on purpose and part 11 asserts that ordering, so
the trap stays baited.

SAFETY-28's `actuator_writers()` needed no change - it was already a structural,
case-folding census - but until now there was no configuration in which two
writers on one actuator could be WRITTEN DOWN. There is now, and it is refused.

VERIFIED BY BREAKING IT

Ten mutations run through tools/mutation_run.sh and observed red, listed in
test_inverter.py part 12 with the check that bites each. Two survived the first
run and the CHECKS were changed, not the table: the inheritance check had blank
flat keys, so "inherited" and "not inherited" were the same empty string; and
the `run_control()` check asserted a SOURCE LINE was present, which re-indenting
it does not remove. Both are recorded in MUTATION.md's "the check's data cannot
reach the failure it names" section, which now carries two more habits: assert
on behaviour rather than on source text, and give a check whose failure mode is
a hang a deadline.

19/19 green in the goodwe-addon-ci image. The one-inverter path is byte-
identical: the whole existing suite runs unmodified against it.

Version bumped to 0.6.0 - the Supervisor keys the built image by `version:`, so
a schema change without a bump is a schema nobody reads.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 753f700539 DEV-02: merge release/1.0, and close the two review blockers
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 4m15s
PR #43 was rejected on two findings and had gone unmergeable behind SAFETY-28
and the ALLOC-01 fix. This is the merge commit; the conflict resolution and both
fixes are below, because a merge that also changes behaviour has to say so.

THE MERGE, AND WHAT IT COST
===========================
Two conflicts in main.py, both where SAFETY-28 and this card touched the same
method:

  * `write_setpoint()` split into a site entry point plus a per-unit
    `_write_unit()` here, while SAFETY-28 put its record gate in the old
    single-unit body. `write_refusal()` now takes the INVERTER it is about.
    Asking it with `self.unit` - as release/1.0 does - would authorise A's share
    on B's wire, and would also trip test_inverter.py part 1's AST scan, which
    goes red on any read of a Controller N=1 view inside Controller.
  * the SAFETY-28 gate sits above the clamp and below the non-finite coercion,
    exactly where release/1.0 put it, and is now asked about `inv`.

Fallout the merge produced in the checks, re-aimed rather than relaxed:

  * every fixture that calls `write_setpoint()` DIRECTLY - the clamp probe, the
    hung-heartbeat experiment and its serialised counterfactual, the split
    deadline probe - now arms a real allocation record first. test_inverter.py
    grows an `arm()` built through the shipped `resolve()`, the same shape
    test_clamp.py's is: the per-unit envelopes are filed as real `supervised`
    claims and the site target is their sum, so the water-fill has exactly one
    answer and the fixture cannot quietly become its own allocator.
  * test_clamp.py's two-unit failsafe fixture assigned `c.units`, which DEV-02
    made a derived property with no setter. It appends a real `Inverter`.

BLOCKER 1 - AC 4's ARBITER-BOUND EVIDENCE WAS VACUOUS
=====================================================
test_peakguard.py claimed "each unit's `supervised` bound is ITS OWN `max_w` -
give inverter B a different rating and the claim filed on inverter B moves with
it", and compared B's bound against `_b2.max_w`. `second_inverter()` DEFAULTED
B's rating to `LIVE_MAX_W`, which is A's. IT COMPARED (-5000, 5000) AGAINST
(-5000, 5000): a number against itself, unable to observe the failure it named.

Reproduced: filing the per-unit `device`/`supervised` claims from
`self.inverters[0]`'s numbers while leaving `actuator=self.actuator_of(..., inv)`
alone left ALL 19 FILES GREEN. At a roster of two with A=5000/B=3000 that makes
inverter B's planned envelope (-5000, 5000) instead of (-3000, 3000) - a 2000 W
over-command the arbiter believes is supervised. It is a DIFFERENT defect from
the actuator variant the static routing pin catches, and only the actuator
variant was in the mutation table.

  * `second_inverter()` gives B 3000 W - a hypothesis, marked as one - for every
    fixture in the file, so no check there can compare B against A by accident.
  * the claim is asserted against LITERAL numbers rather than against an
    expression that can read the same object twice, for `supervised` AND for
    `device` (whose `dev` had the same defect), plus the envelope the ARBITER
    RESOLVED for B - a claim filed right and resolved wrong is the same defect
    one layer down.
  * a PRECONDITION check fails if the two ratings are ever made equal again.
  * the BOUND mutation is in the table, beside the actuator one, and was
    observed RED (3 checks in test_peakguard.py) via tools/mutation_run.sh.

⚠️ THIRD INSTANCE THIS SESSION of a check whose DATA cannot reach the failure it
names - ARB-03's call-site scan saw 3 of 8 appends, ALLOC-01's replay generator
saw 0 escapes where a widened one saw 39,991. MUTATION.md gains a section for it
beside the stale-bytecode and masking ones, and the rule is written at the line:
ANY CHECK ASSERTING "X DIFFERS FROM Y" MUST BE RUN ONCE WITH X AND Y ACTUALLY
MADE DIFFERENT.

BLOCKER 2 - THE LATCH WAS SILENTLY DISARMED BY THE ROLLBACK ROUND TRIP
======================================================================
store.py's rule 2 keeps the flat keys "so a rollback still finds its latch". The
operator path that rule contemplates is a ROUND TRIP, and this card lost the
latch on it:

  1. install migrates          -> schema_version=1, unit/inverter-a/... = False
  2. operator DOWNGRADES; SAFETY-02 trips inside the downgrade window and the
     old add-on writes only the flat `sign_tripped: true`
  3. operator upgrades again   -> `rep.ran` is False, so `_grade_store_migration()`
     returned early, and `Inverter.__init__` read the namespaced key: False

Observed: the controller came up with `sign_wd.tripped = False` while
/data/state.json said `sign_tripped: true`. That is store.py's own header
sentence - "the file still says sign_tripped: true, the banner is green, and the
controller resumes driving the wrong way" - rebuilt by the version marker. A
firmware version change with a rollback path was performed on this site on
2026-09-02, so this is not hypothetical.

Three changes, each graded by a mutation observed RED:

  * THE OPERATOR'S CLEAR CLEARS BOTH SPELLINGS. That is what removes the
    "re-arm forever" objection the `rep.ran` gate existed to answer: with the
    fossil cleared, `flat True + namespaced False` is unambiguously a
    downgrade-window latch.
  * A TRIP MIRRORS THE FLAT PAIR. Rule 2 only ever covered the latch present AT
    MIGRATION TIME - nothing flat was written for a trip taken afterwards, so an
    operator who downgraded found `sign_tripped: false` and came up DRIVING.
    store.py claimed the staleness could only fail toward a SPURIOUS latch. It
    could not; that sentence is corrected rather than left standing.
  * THE GUARD RUNS ON EVERY START, and asks the STORE - not the roster - whether
    anything namespaced is latched. A mirrored trip on B must not re-arm a
    healthy A, and the store is the right place to ask because it holds every
    `unit/*/sign_tripped` this install has written, including one belonging to a
    unit that is not in today's roster.

Graded by the three-step scenario itself, run end to end in test_inverter.py
part 2, with all three preconditions asserted - including that the catching
start did NOT migrate anything, which is what used to skip the guard. Part 2's
idempotence check now PRESSES the button instead of hand-writing the store,
because the state it used to construct is not one the shipped clear path can
produce. Part 3 grades the mirror and the clear on a real roster of two.

test_watchdog.py's "the flat key is NOT written" assertion is re-aimed rather
than deleted: its argument was right about the READ and wrong about the WRITE.
Nothing at runtime reads that key, and the one thing that does ignores it
whenever any namespaced latch is set - which a sibling's trip always leaves.
What its absence actually cost was the rollback.

HANDOVER.md and DOCS.md said the flat key "is never read again", which was the
instruction an operator clearing a trip by hand would follow. Both corrected: it
is a maintained rollback view, it IS read on every start, and clearing a trip by
hand means clearing both spellings.

MUTATIONS THIS ROUND, each applied on a purged tree via tools/mutation_run.sh
and observed RED:
  * per-unit `device`/`supervised` BOUNDS from `self.inverters[0]`, actuator
    left correct                                   -> test_peakguard.py 10g
  * `_grade_store_migration()` gated on `rep.ran`   -> test_inverter.py part 2
  * the operator's clear leaving the flat keys set  -> test_inverter.py part 2/3
  * a trip not mirroring the flat pair              -> test_inverter.py part 3
  * the guard asking only `self.inverters[0]`       -> test_inverter.py part 3

19/19 files green on the merged tree. No hardware was touched.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 acbdf41248 TEST-13: grade record_block()'s policy argument, and the two import spellings SAFETY-20's check could not see
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 3m55s
Two survivors from TARIFF-01's review, closed in test_tariff.py only. app/ is
untouched and no shipped behaviour changes. Two further items on the card were
already closed in shipped code and are struck rather than re-implemented.

ITEM 1 - the per-phase reduction's PLUMBING was unobservable.

  Mutating PeakStore.record_block()'s `billed_w(block, policy)` to
  `billed_w(block, POLICY_NET)` (+4 B) leaves all 17 suites green. Measured
  three times now: by TARIFF-01's reviewer, re-run through TEST-15's purge
  harness this session, and re-run again here on a clean uncontended tree.

  The product code is correct - tariff.py:363 really is
  `def record_block(self, block, policy: str = POLICY_NET)` and it really does
  forward the argument. What was missing is any check that could tell that
  apart from a hardcoded call, and the reason is the third instance of one
  shape: A STIMULUS EVALUATED WHERE THE QUANTITY IT GRADES IS DEGENERATE, after
  WITNESS-02's span normalisation and TARIFF-01's own DST window.

  billed_w() short-circuits to block.offtake_avg_w whenever
  per_phase_offtake_avg_w is absent. Every block reaching a store anywhere in
  the suite was single-phase or built as _CB(..., None) - so NET, SUM and MAX
  collapsed onto one number and the argument could not be observed at the call
  site. Section 7 grades the FUNCTION on an unbalanced fixture and says nothing
  about its CALLER.

  So section 7's own (3000, 500, -200) W block - whose three reductions are
  3300 / 3500 / 3000 W, asserted distinct three lines above - is now
  round-tripped THROUGH the store under each policy and read back from both
  tables (peak() and recompute_month(), so both writes in that single
  transaction are graded). record_block() with no policy is checked to bank the
  NET figure. An anti-degeneracy pin is stated over the three BANKED numbers,
  not over vals, because it is the banked ones this triple is made of.

  Direction, which is why this is worth plumbing-testing: NET is the SMALLEST
  of the three here, because the exporting phase nets off. A store that quietly
  billed NET while asked for MAX would UNDER-record the month's peak, and an
  under-recorded peak is maximum headroom for SAFETY-07 - the same
  under-guarding direction as the getattr(..., 0.0) default SAFETY-07 already
  removed from project().

ITEM 2 - the SAFETY-20 import grader claimed more than it checked.

  It collected `m.module for m in walk(tree) if isinstance(m, ImportFrom)` and
  matched a literal list of six spellings. That is blind to two of Python's
  three import forms:

    * `from . import arbiter as _ab` is an ImportFrom whose .module is None -
      the dots are in .level and the module name is in .names - so it collected
      "" and matched nothing;
    * `import app.arbiter` is an ast.Import node the walk filtered out entirely.

  Both were added to app/tariff.py and the shipped suite stayed GREEN, with the
  _names half not firing either (an alias import creates no Name node). Low
  severity: any USE of either alias still produces an Attribute the _names half
  catches. But the printed sentence "it imports nothing from arbiter, clamp or
  control" was false for two forms out of three, and a check that overclaims is
  worse than one that claims less, because the next reader stops looking.

  _imported_modules() now walks Import as well as ImportFrom and joins
  `from . import X` onto its base. _forbidden_imports() matches per dotted
  SEGMENT, not by substring: `app.arbiter` must not hide behind a package
  prefix, and `clamps` / `arbiters` / `controller` must not be falsely flagged -
  `controller` is not hypothetical, this package is goodwe_controller. Five
  evasion spellings and eight innocent ones grade the grader itself, and both
  the name half and the import half are shown non-vacuous against main.py,
  which carries all three import forms and really does import all three modules.

ITEMS 3 AND 4 - ALREADY CLOSED. STRUCK, NOT RE-IMPLEMENTED.

  Item 3: app/tariff.py:266-267 is `def is_observed(self): return self.state ==
  OBSERVED`, already false for NO_RECORD. Nothing to do.

  Item 4: app/tariff.py:672-680 reads `held = max(averager.held_net_w, 0.0)`
  with NO getattr default, and carries a comment naming TEST-13 item 4. Fixed
  by SAFETY-07 in 616b62d; held_net_w is a documented public property on
  QuarterAverager (p1.py:290), so a rename raises AttributeError on the first
  cycle instead of crediting 0 W held. A projection crediting 0 W held reads
  LOW, which is the under-guarding direction for SAFETY-07's floor. Restoring
  a default would re-open a money guard.

  And the recorded NON-finding stays a non-finding: removing clear_partial()
  is still green and that is a PASS. quarter_start is the PRIMARY KEY and the
  upsert carries `ON CONFLICT ... WHERE excluded.offtake_avg_w >
  quarter_blocks.offtake_avg_w`, so a replay is a structural no-op. That
  demonstrates TARIFF-01's "double counting is answered structurally, not by
  care" claim rather than contradicting it.

EVIDENCE - all through tools/mutation_run.sh (recursive __pycache__ purge,
python3 -B, tree re-read from disk, mutated line grepped off disk, byte delta
recorded), in the goodwe-addon-ci image against a :ro mount.

  CONTROL, and the point of the whole ticket: A1 graded by the SHIPPED
  test_tariff.py is green, and A1 graded by all 17 SHIPPED suites on a clean
  uncontended run is 17 PASS, rc=0. The survivor is real and it is now closed.

ONE THING THE REVIEWER SHOULD KNOW. During the first (contended - two docker
containers at once) run of that 17-suite survivor sweep, test_peakguard.py
reported FAIL once. It has passed 8 times since on the identical tree,
including three concurrent runs and one clean uncontended full sweep, and its
tail was lost to a grep so I cannot say which check it was. I believe it is a
timing-sensitive check under CPU contention and NOT related to this change -
this commit touches no product code and no peakguard fixture - but I could not
reproduce it, so I am recording it rather than asserting it away.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 20f9f4969d TEST-16: pin the two one-sided arbitrage rungs, and un-mask them from each other
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 3m51s
SAFETY-26's AC4 gave the same tolerance mutation to every price and quantity
boundary in arbitrage.py and static_tariff.py. Everything in arbitrage.py went
red - `price < 0`, `soc <= floor_pct`, `soc >= ceiling_pct` are each red under
+/-5. Two survived, both in static_tariff.py, and this card closes them.

  D  `spread == 0.0` (:912) weakened to `spread <= 0.001` SURVIVED at +2 B.
  F  `len(firm) < 2` (:901) weakened to `len(firm) < 1` SURVIVED at +0 B - the
     delta MUTATION.md names as the risky one.

THE DEFECT IS NOT EITHER ROW, IT IS THE INTERACTION. D and F MASK EACH OTHER. A
single firm hour also has a spread of 0.0, so with F weakened the flat rung
refuses the stimulus anyway; with D weakened the small-but-real spread is still
refused, only for a lie. Each rung's failure is absorbed by the other, so BOTH
can be weakened together and a suite grading `kind == "refused"` reports
nothing. That is structurally invisible to single-mutation testing, which is how
this pair came through four rounds of review on TARIFF-03 and FCST-03 - and it
is the arrangement in which the next edit to either rung opens a real hole with
nothing to report it.

D is not cosmetic either. With the tolerance in place a series priced 0.20000 /
0.20050 - a REAL 0.0005 EUR/kWh spread - flips ALLOWED to REFUSED at
min_spread_eur_kwh=0.0, a value arbitrage()'s own docstring documents ("pass 0.0
to mean any positive spread, explicitly") and its validator at :861 accepts on
purpose. At a shipped threshold the outcome does not move, but the operator
reads the false sentence "the tariff is flat - every one of the 2 firm hours
costs 0.2000 EUR/kWh" about a tariff that is not flat.

WHAT WAS ADDED. test_static_tariff.py section 9, and the shape of it is the
argument:

  * THE REASON IS GRADED, NOT THE VERDICT. The masked case refuses CORRECTLY
    while reporting the wrong sentence, so a check asserting only "refused"
    passes on a broken tree. A `rung9()` helper names which refusal answered,
    from the sentence the operator would read; an unrecognised refusal reports
    itself as UNATTRIBUTED rather than quietly matching nothing.
  * EACH RUNG IS GIVEN A STIMULUS THE OTHER CANNOT ABSORB, or the pinning is
    circular. The flat rung gets a THREE-firm-hour flat series, which no
    `len(firm) < N` a person would write can reach. The firm-pair rung gets a
    ONE-FIRM-HOUR series, which the flat rung CAN reach - so its attribution is
    the whole check, and that is why it is written as a rung name rather than a
    verdict.
  * AC1 is a sweep of small-but-real spreads (0.0005 down to 0.000001) all
    ALLOWED at min_spread_eur_kwh=0.0, with the exactly flat series on the other
    side still refused BY THE FLAT RUNG - without that mirror the sweep would
    also pass for a rung deleted outright. 1e-6 is the floor because the shipped
    line rounds the spread to 6 decimals; that quantisation is graded in the
    open as its own row rather than left unstated.
  * AC3 is a five-row table graded on rung attribution, which denies the masking
    from both sides at once.
  * The firm-pair count is also pinned from ABOVE (`< 3`) and BELOW (`< 0`),
    which the criteria do not ask for but which is what stops this section being
    one-sided in exactly the way it was written to fix.

EVIDENCE. Eight rounds through TEST-15's tools/mutation_run.sh, used UNCHANGED:
recursive __pycache__ purge before each run, python3 -B, the tree re-copied FROM
DISK between rounds, the mutated line grepped out of the file before the run,
byte delta printed, test_static_tariff.py and test_arbitrage.py graded each
time. Baseline green.

  baseline, shipped                            +0 B  PASS
  D1  `spread == 0.0` -> `<= 0.001`            +2 B  RED, 3 checks
  D2  `spread == 0.0` -> `<= 0.000001`         +5 B  RED, AC1 alone
  D3  `spread == 0.0` -> `< 0.0`  (rung gone)  +0 B  RED (section 2 as well)
  F1  `len(firm) < 2` -> `< 1`                 +0 B  RED, 3 checks
  F2  `len(firm) < 2` -> `< 3`                 +0 B  RED, 6 checks
  F3  `len(firm) < 2` -> `< 0`  (rung gone)    +0 B  RED (ValueError)
  D1+F1  BOTH AT ONCE - THE TICKET             +2 B  RED, 5 checks

Four of the seven are +0 B, the delta MUTATION.md names as the one stale
bytecode can hide. All are REDS, the direction that defect cannot fabricate -
but they were run under the purge anyway, because "it went red so the cache
cannot have lied" is a conclusion and not a procedure.

NO SHIPPED BEHAVIOUR CHANGED. app/ is untouched; both rungs were correct all
along, and the card is explicit that a rung found actually wrong is a stop-and-
report rather than an edit. Also updated: MUTATION.md gains a short section on
masking as a SECOND way a survivor lies, with the two rules that fall out of it
(grade the reason, and mutate suspected pairs together); and test_arbitrage.py's
SAFETY-26 AC4 note is marked closed rather than left reading as an open finding.

UNSURE ABOUT. The 5e-7 row asserts the shipped `round(spread, 6)` quantisation.
That is a real property of the line and worth stating, but it does pin a
rounding the ticket never named - if a reviewer would rather that stayed
unpinned, it is one check to drop and nothing else depends on it.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 e498dd4c1c SAFETY-25: pin the claim-source set, so the tripwire is one
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 3m53s
The durability claim this PR shipped was FALSE, and the reviewer of #31
disproved it by building the fix. Part 10 said, in four committed places,
that it "goes RED the day a loop-side floor is built, so the exposure
cannot change size under a green suite". The reviewer implemented the
memo's own recommended Option B in main.py - a
`Claim.limit("reserve", P_LOOP, hi=0.0)` filed under a `loop_soc_floor` -
and the ENTIRE SUITE STAYED GREEN. Part 10 green. Mutation 13 went on
printing "NOTHING PREVENTS IT, ON PURPOSE" and the same 21 % -> 10.0 %,
on a tree where something DID prevent it. Pushed to an absurd
always-binding 95 % reserve it was caught only by SAFETY-24's pre-existing
part 7 wiring checks; part 10 was still green.

THE CAUSE IS STRUCTURAL, not a missing assertion. `replay_loop()`
hand-builds main.py's claim list as a literal
`[supervised, loop, peakguard.claim(...)]`, so it is blind to any claim
main.py ADDS - which is exactly where AC 2 would be built. That is this
repository's named failure mode: a check that observed something other
than what it claimed to observe, shipped as a guarantee inside the
document that recommends the change.

THE FIX IS 10f: THE CLAIM-SOURCE SET, PINNED, two ways because the two
fail differently.

  * STATICALLY, over `Controller.cycle()`'s own AST. Every
    `claims.append(...)` in it must be one the scan can read - an
    unreadable append FAILS rather than counting as nothing, which is how
    a scan like this goes quietly vacuous - and the sources it can file
    must be exactly {device, supervised, failsafe, safety, peak,
    arbitrage, maintenance, loop}. A ninth takes part 10 red on the line
    it is written, in every configuration, whether or not any fixture
    here reaches the state that files it.
  * DYNAMICALLY, through REAL `Controller.cycle()`s with main.py's OWN
    `resolve` spied - not a list this file built and hoped matched -
    swept over the WHOLE 0..100 % SoC range in the two states 10a-10c
    replay. Idle: exactly {device, supervised, loop}. Floor-limited:
    exactly {device, supervised, loop, peak}. A claim conditioned on a
    low pack, which is the shape a loop-side floor has, cannot hide from
    a sweep that visits 0 %.

And the fold is checked rather than assumed: main.py's two P_SAFETY
rating limits are both symmetric LIMITs, so replay_loop() modelling them
as one `supervised` claim at the tighter bound is exact.

MEASURED AGAINST THE COUNTEREXAMPLE. Reproduced first on the unfixed
tree (green, as reported). On this tree the reviewer's Option B at its
recommended default takes part 10 RED on 3 checks, and the 95 % variant
on 6. Nine mutations were run in all, each against a freshly copied tree
with no `__pycache__` present, mounted `:ro`; all nine red, no survivors,
no `+0 B` delta. MUTATION.md records why a second round was needed: the
first round's mutations were all aimed at DISARMING the guard, while the
claim part 10 actually made was about the guard being FIXED.

The four false sentences are replaced with what is now true, and each
says WHICH half catches WHICH shape - 10f for an arbiter claim
(Options B and C), 10a-10c for a clamp inside control.compute() or the
guard (Option D), which the replay drives directly.

AC 2 IS STILL OPEN AND NOTHING HERE BUILDS IT. The loop-side floor was a
test mutant, reverted before commit. The memo still says "Status: OPEN.
This is a memo, not a decision."

Also, non-blocking, from the same review: the NOT READY banner had
inherited the new scope sentence and become a ~550-character paragraph
that the row three lines below repeated verbatim. A checks() row may now
carry an optional short `banner` form; the floor-limited row does, and
`status_payload()` prefers it. THE ROW IS UNCHANGED - shortening that
would have been weakening AC 3 - and rows without the key are
unaffected. Graded, and mutated: dropping the short form goes red.

Merged origin/release/1.0 first (CI-02), keeping both tickets' CHANGELOG
entries.

Full suite green: 17/17 in goodwe-addon-ci (test_ci_gate.py needs `git`,
which CI-02 added to .gitea/ci/Dockerfile but the local image lacks; run
with it installed and it passes).

adminandClaude Opus 5 182102eeaf SAFETY-25: say what peak_soc_floor bounds, and measure what it does not
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 3m41s
peak_soc_floor reads like a pack-wide reserve and is not one. The
grid-following loop has no SoC guard of any kind, so on a sustained-load
evening it discharges straight past that number and keeps going until the
pack's own BMS cut-out stops it.

The gap has now been written down four times without being filed -
SAFETY-18's finding (freeze.py:18), SAFETY-24's module note, its PR body,
and its honestly-uncaught 13th mutation - and never once measured. It is
measured here, on the committed 2026-08-20 capture, driving the SHIPPED
control.compute(), peakguard.decide(), peakguard.claim() and the real
arbiter.resolve() in main.py's order:

    19:00-22:00 UTC, 830 W mean, minimum 701 W, zero export in the window
    reference pack (300 Ah x 51.2 V x DoD 90) started at 21 %, one point
    above peak_soc_floor

      ends at 10.0 %  -  the bms_soc_floor cut-out
      1525 Wh delivered by the LOOP over 587 cycles
      549 cycles below peak_soc_floor, 343 of them still discharging
      0 cycles on which the peak guard filed any floor at all

AND IT IS A BEHAVIOUR, NOT A CONFIG VALUE. The same evening ends at
9.9715 % at peak_soc_floor = 5, 11, 20 and 60 - the shipped value and both
ends of the schema range - identical to four decimal places. The option an
operator would reach for cannot move the number by any amount at all. On
the same day's high-load block the two states coexist: 49 cycles reporting
PEAK GUARD FLOOR-LIMITED and, on all 49 of them, the arbiter simultaneously
granting the loop up to 2000 W of discharge.

WHY SAFETY-24 COULD NOT CLOSE IT. The peak guard files a `lo` limit - a
LOWER bound on the setpoint. That asymmetry is exactly what makes it
trustworthy: a reviewer proved across 19,800 combinations that it can never
lower a target, cap a discharge or contradict the arbiter. The same property
makes it structurally incapable of stopping a discharge the loop itself
wants. A floor on the guard cannot become a floor on the pack by being
raised, and the sweep above is that sentence measured.

WHAT THIS COMMIT CHANGES IS THE HONESTY, on the four surfaces an operator
actually reads. That half is required whichever way the open question is
answered, and it is the real misstatement on the live system today:

  * config.yaml, beside the option itself - it BOUNDS THE PEAK GUARD ONLY
    and is NOT A PACK-WIDE RESERVE, with the replayed evening and the sweep;
  * DOCS.md, in the options table and in a new section carrying the figures;
  * the STATUS-PAGE ROW for a floor-limited guard. This is the one line a
    human reads at the moment the guard stops discharging, and read alone it
    says "the battery is being held at peak_soc_floor" - which the replay
    shows is false in every cycle that row is rendered;
  * the PERSISTENT NOTIFICATION, which outlives the page. It now names what
    has stopped (the guard buying a lower bill) and what has not (the pack
    being spent).

peakguard.py and freeze.py carry the measurement beside the findings they
already recorded, so the next reader does not have to take the caveat on
trust.

THE PRODUCT DECISION IS NOT TAKEN HERE, and must not be. Whether the loop
gets a reserve floor of its own decides whether this house's battery may
discharge to the BMS floor on a heavy evening; that moves real energy and it
is the owner's call. DECISIONS/SAFETY-25-loop-soc-floor.md is the memo AC 1
asks for: the options, what each costs, what each protects, weighed against
MAINT-01 (a pack repeatedly at the BMS floor is the SoC-drift condition the
maintenance cycle exists to correct, and an over-tight reserve fights it from
the other side) and against the fact that this would be the FIFTH SoC key -
OPT-04's arbitrage_soc_floor fired SAFETY-24's "revisit if a third floor
appears" trigger unremarked, so SAFETY-27's naming decision should land
first. It carries a recommendation and says plainly that it is not a
decision.

It also records a trap found while writing it, and now CHECKED through the
real arbiter rather than described: the obvious shape of a loop-side floor
is a `hi` limit at P_LOOP, and filed while the peak guard is asking for a
positive floor that is `lo > hi` - which arbiter.py resolves to a
CONTRADICTION at 0 W, the battery PARKED in the one quarter of the month
that sets the bill. It is the same crossing-limits hazard
shaping_suspended() already exists to avoid. The ordering
`bms_soc_floor < loop_soc_floor <= peak_soc_floor` removes it provably,
because wherever the reserve binds the guard is already floor-limited and
files lo = 0; both halves are run in part 10d.

test_peakguard.py part 10 is a TRIPWIRE, not a guarantee. It records a
defect and goes RED the day somebody builds a loop-side floor, so the
exposure cannot change size under a green suite and closing it has to be
deliberate. Part 11's mutation 13 stays honestly NOT CAUGHT - nothing
prevents the loop discharging past this floor - but it now reports a number
instead of a sentence.

Verified: 16/16 suites green in the CI image. Eight mutations, each against
a tree copied fresh with __pycache__ excluded and mounted :ro, so no .pyc
existed to go stale (MUTATION.md's structural immunity, the same one it
records for CI); byte deltas +61, -8, -465, -430, -1088, -46, file deleted,
and -95; none is +0 B. All eight go red on the named check:

  M1 peakguard.claim() also files hi=floor_w        -> 7 red, incl. 10c
  M2 control.compute() gain forced to 0             -> 6 red, incl. 10a/10b
  M3 scope sentence removed from the status row     -> 10e red
  M4 scope sentence removed from the notification   -> 10e red
  M5 scope paragraph removed from config.yaml       -> 10e red
  M6 scope bullet weakened in DOCS.md               -> 10e red
  M7 the decision memo deleted                      -> 10e red
  M8 arbiter clamps crossing limits instead of
     reporting a contradiction                      -> 5 red, incl. 10d

AC 2 is left explicitly OPEN, pending the owner's answer.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 7b4877d56d TEST-15: purge the bytecode cache before a mutation run, not after
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 3m35s
FCST-03's developer reverted `self.provisional` to `here.provisional`, re-ran,
and reported the mutation as a survivor. It was not one. CPython validates a
cached `.pyc` on (source size, source mtime truncated to whole seconds), and
that edit moved neither number - same length, same second - so the interpreter
loaded the bytecode it already had. Disassembly settled it at the time: the
source read `here`, the running code loaded `self`. A mutation run had graded
code that was not there, with no error and exit status 0.

This does not make the results already on the record wrong. It makes them
UNVERIFIED, and that distinction is the whole card - so nothing here re-runs a
campaign and nothing here quietly assumes the old numbers hold.

REPRODUCED, THEN CLOSED. test_bytecode.py builds a real package whose two
return values are the same length, imports it in a real subprocess, rewrites it
inside the same second (retrying until both writes land in one whole second -
milliseconds, no sleep) and reads back which value ran. Part 1 shows the
interpreter running SELF off a file that says HERE.

AND THE TWO OBVIOUS MITIGATIONS DO NOT WORK. Measured, not read off
documentation: `python3 -B` and PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1 are write-side only.
Neither stops an EXISTING stale .pyc being read, and a mutation run always has
one, because the previous run wrote it. Part 2 grades both still running the old
code. The advice in test_control.py's coverage audit led with `-B`; it is
corrected here - the purge is the half that works, and `-B` earns its place by
keeping THIS run from leaving a cache for the NEXT edit to inherit.

NO SLEEP ANYWHERE. One-second mtime resolution is the mechanism, not the enemy.
Waiting it out would slow every run down and would still only cover the edit
somebody remembered to slow down.

THE HARNESS. tools/mutation_run.sh purges, prints a sha256/byte fingerprint of
every app/*.py it is about to grade - so a mutation report can say WHICH source
produced it, which is the reviewer's addition to this card - runs each suite
under `python3 -B`, refuses a tree with no test_*.py (CI-01's rule, for CI-01's
reason), and fails if a cache appears during the run. It takes the tree as an
argument so the infra repo's replay harnesses can call it without being moved.

WHERE IT IS SAID (AC 2). MUTATION.md carries the mechanism, the measurement,
the reporting rules and the survey, and every one of the 16 suites now points at
it from its docstring. That list is DERIVED FROM THE TREE by test_bytecode.py
part 5, so a new suite that joins this directory without the pointer is red -
the same failure shape CI-01's file glob exists to prevent.

CI WAS ALREADY IMMUNE, AND IS DESCRIBED THAT WAY (AC 4). Verified rather than
reasoned: with the checkout bind mounted `-v "$WS:/w:ro"` the interpreter writes
no __pycache__ into the tree at all, and it fails SILENTLY - no error, exit
status 0 - while the same probe on a writable mount produces one. Each job also
rm -rf's its workspace and clones afresh, so nothing crosses between jobs on the
shared runner. PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1 is added as belt and braces only: the
`:ro` is one character wide and the next person debugging a write will be
tempted by it. Part 6 grades both ON THE DOCKER COMMAND LINE rather than on the
file - the first draft searched the whole workflow and stayed green after the
flag was deleted, because the comment explaining it still named it.

THE SHIPPED ADD-ON IS NOT AFFECTED and the question is closed:
goodwe_controller/Dockerfile has set PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1 since it was
written. There is no deploy-side finding.

THE SURVEY (AC 3), in MUTATION.md, scoped BY THE PROPERTY. The defect is
one-directional - a mutation that never took leaves the suite green, so stale
bytecode manufactures SURVIVORS and cannot manufacture a red - which puts every
"all red, no survivors" claim in the window out of scope, along with mutations
executed in-process (SAFETY-07's B1/B2/B3, test_peakguard parts 7 and 10, where
no source file is edited) and everything run after the purge discipline landed
on 2026-08-31 (SAFETY-24, SAFETY-26, OPT-04, FCST-03's re-run). What is left is
the recorded SURVIVORS from source-edit runs before that date. Two were re-run
here under the harness and both still stand: TARIFF-01's record_block() ignoring
its policy argument, and SAFETY-03's abs() on the clamp limit - 15 suites green
each, on the tree as it stood. The rest are labelled still-unverified rather
than assumed or re-run; each is one harness run to close, and the moment to
spend it is when somebody next touches that module.

OUT OF SCOPE AND RECORDED: the infra repo's sim/ replay harnesses import the
add-on and write bytecode into both trees (goodwe/sim/__pycache__ exists today),
so SAFETY-02's headline replay carries the same exposure. mutation_run.sh takes
a tree argument for exactly that, but the change belongs in that repo and some
of those harnesses want the rig.

RED AND GREEN. Every new check was broken and watched fail: the purge commented
out of the harness turns part 4 red (and its non-vacuity probe already proves
the fixture would mis-grade without it); one docstring pointer removed turns
part 5 red naming the file; `:ro` and the `-e` flag removed from the workflow
turn part 6 red. Full suite green, 16 files, in the CI image on a read-only
mount - the shape the runner uses.
