glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5.5 15627c38a6 UX-13 P0: layout table, page<->options derivation, warning tier, entity list
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 9m32s
infra-pin / fresh (pull_request) Successful in 1s
The foundation for the new settings page. No visible UI change.

- app/uilayout.py: screen -> group -> part -> field for every option in
  config.yaml (67 fields, 11 derived, 0 hidden), with control, unit, display
  scale, step, entity kind, show conditions, Simple/wizard placement and
  "applies after a restart". Ranges stay in the schema, words in
  translations and the new app/ui_text/en.json.
- app/uimodel.py: options_to_ui()/ui_to_options() for the derived keys (one
  inverter vs the list, solar rows, static_profile from simple prices, a
  year-stamped region preset for the levies figure, and an OPT-11 hook for
  arbitrage_enabled that changes nothing yet). Unchanged derivations write
  the stored values back, so the round trip is exact.
- validate.py: validate.Note, a warn/info tier. Each logged warning is also
  a note when a list is passed; config_notes() adds checks that need live
  data (missing entity, a kW sensor read as W, a limit below this month's
  peak). /config/validate returns them as "notes". No refusal changed: 261
  recorded validator calls, 0 differ (tools/ux13_validator_calls.py).
- GET ha/entities: Home Assistant's entity list for the picker, read through
  hass.states(), cached 30 s, 10 s timeout. When HA is down it answers 200
  with the old list marked old, or an empty list that says why.
- DECISIONS/UX-13-one-layout-table.md amends UX-02's "no option key in UI
  code": keys may appear in uilayout.py and uimodel.py only, both tested.
- Tests: test_uilayout, test_uimodel (round trip over the recorded calls,
  the TEST-23 option files and config.yaml defaults), test_haentities, a
  warning-tier part in test_validate; test_messages scans notes and
  ui_text; test_pv and test_selfconfig part 7 widened on purpose.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5.5 23a3a3f5b5 UX-10: the last plain-language leftovers: log lines, two table rows, 'Why: Other', red at 0 s
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 9m3s
infra-pin / fresh (pull_request) Successful in 2s
- test_messages.py part 6: every dynamic part of a WARNING+ line is classified
  as data or as a built text, and every built text is produced by the real
  code and checked. This is the gap the 2d scan had: it counted `%s` as one
  word, so reasons built by loop_clamp_note() and friends were never seen.
- Quoted reasons rewritten to STYLE.md (red-alarm shape, codes kept):
  OUTPUT_CLAMP, METER_FROZEN, CIRCULATING_POWER, STALE_READING, the peak
  guard (codes now PEAK_GUARD*), the migration report, price feed, price
  history and gate reasons. Plurals via messages.times()/count().
- Top table: Price history "96 prices over 24 hours for 26 Sep", Tariff
  "one every 15 minutes or every hour", "not final yet" dropped.
- Levels and noise: per-cycle shadow line DEBUG, shadow on/off INFO,
  aiohttp access log only at log level debug, settings warnings once per
  start, one plain line per Home Assistant outage (hass.Outage).
- INFO jargon and error texts: no "§8.3", ISO times, "banked", "keys ARE",
  "NOT_OBSERVED", "did NOT land", "AND".
- Display bugs: WHY_WINNER covers every winner and safety reason
  (main.why_key(), part 7 finds them in the code); the meter row is amber
  "waiting for the first reading" inside its limit after a start; the
  missing-reading age is counted when the page asks.
- STYLE.md and DECISIONS/UX-08-short-notifications.md (UX-10 section).

No change to safety behaviour, alarm levels, notification ids, triggers,
cadence or the banner cascade. One row colour changes (meter at start),
justified in DECISIONS.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 6a95447248 UX-08 2d: plain log lines, the rest of the status page, and DOCS
infra-pin / fresh (pull_request) Successful in 1s
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 8m55s
Every WARNING and ERROR line is one plain line of at most 25 words, with
no card ids, capitals or semicolons; the reasoning of the ten longest is
on a DEBUG line. The ux08 allowlist is empty and its cap is 0 (43 -> 0).

The status page: the month-peak and peak-guard rows, the stale-reading
row, the top table (Why, Tariff, Arbitrage, Shadow mode, labels), the
Stopped banner and the line under the buttons, which now shows the plain
hint of each event instead of the raw action log. The Supervisor question
at start logs one line with a real reason.

Refusals are counted as shown (labels expanded, long cases driven), seven
were shortened, the card and parse errors lost their internals, a blank
value reads "empty", and the panel no longer files inverters.max_w under
the flat max_w. Option names lose "(JSON)", the NL texts are checked too.

DOCS gets a glossary (control board, isolator, Developer Tools) and card
ids move from headings to a "For installers" line.

goodwe-review c84d5fd14f UX-08 2c review: unit settings anchor to inverters, plainer texts
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 8m50s
infra-pin / fresh (pull_request) Successful in 2s
- messages.setting() for one inverter in the list reads
  “Inverter rating” for inverter-b (inverters.max_w), so the config panel
  files per-unit reasons under `inverters`, where the value is changed.
- The tariff card and plausibility reasons name
  “Distribution, levies and VAT” (price_taxes_eur_kwh) again.
- The wrong-direction reasons say "safety stop", the sign_disagree_w
  option says what it protects, and the roster, price-entity,
  integrator_max_w and capacity_kwh texts read more plainly.
- NL: stuurprint -> stuurmodule, "De piekbeperking".

checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 8m50s
infra-pin / fresh (pull_request) Successful in 2s
Validator refusals name the setting by its label and key, say what is
wrong and what to change, and keep the rejected value and limit. Option
names and descriptions are short in en and nl; citations moved to DOCS
"For installers" and the test_translations citation check now pins the

Claude 8fa4febfef SAFETY-10: the whole decision path runs and nothing reaches the inverter
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 7m58s
Every optimiser defect this project has found was invisible from outside
while it was happening, and each was paid for at the meter first: SAFETY-45's
28 charge onsets an hour against a binding peak_cap_w, TARIFF-14's wrong
quarter-hour for 45 minutes in every 60, SAFETY-46's 598 Wh spent to gain
310 Wh. There was no way to watch what the optimiser WOULD do without letting
it do it.

`shadow_mode` runs strategies, arbiter, clamps and guards, records the
decision with its reason, and commands nothing.

⚠️ IT WRITES. It writes 0 W, on the ordinary heartbeat, through the ordinary
single writer. The inverter holds its last command forever - it has no meter
timeout - so "commands nothing" implemented as "stops writing" would leave
whatever was standing when shadow mode came on standing for as long as it was
left on, under a page saying nothing is being commanded. That is the failure
this repository keeps finding. Refreshing 0 W is also what
firmware/goodwe-master.yaml's 30 s stale-input watchdog requires of us; going
quiet would keep that board tripped for the whole run, which is an alarm being
used as a mode.

⚠️ IT IS NOT A SECOND WRITE PATH. No claim, no transport, no arithmetic of its
own. It is a substitution inside Controller._write_unit() - the single choke
point every write already reaches - in the same form as the three above it,
and it is the LAST of them, so SAFETY-28's gate and SAFETY-03's clamp still
grade the number the decision path produced.

⚠️ THE DEFAULT IS `auto`, NOT `true`, AND THAT IS THE CARD'S REAL CONTENT. The
Supervisor composes options as {**config.yaml defaults, **stored user
options}, so a new key with a new default reaches EVERY EXISTING INSTALL on
the next update - including the one regulating a real battery. A boolean
default-on would have stopped it silently. There is no mechanism by which one
key can default differently for a new install and an existing one, so
"default-on for new" is a value the add-on RESOLVES: `auto` is shadow while
control is STOPPED and live once it is STARTED. A fresh install ships
`auto_start: false` and comes up observing; an install that is controlling is
started and does not change by one watt.

THE FAILSAFES. Sign watchdogs (SAFETY-02/30): INERT - they grade
Inverter.standing_w(), which shadow mode holds at 0 W. Fed the shadow decision
they would disagree with a meter that never saw it and LATCH A TRIP THAT
SURVIVES INTO LIVE OPERATION AND A RESTART. Clamp (SAFETY-03), write gate
(SAFETY-28), meter freeze (SAFETY-18), peak guard: OBSERVE. Circulation
(SAFETY-31) and delivery (SAFETY-42): observe and may legitimately latch,
because their evidence is measured power. The operator stop is the one
deliberate change: enforced at the wire rather than as a P_SAFETY claim, which
would otherwise make every recorded decision read "stopped".

⚠️ RECORDED LIMITATION: _shadow_settle() re-seeds the carried command to what
stands on the wire, which makes the exit safe by construction - and therefore
the loop leg's shadow decision is ONE SLEW STEP, not a trajectory. A shadow
run answers "what would it command now", not "what would it have done next".
The strategies are unaffected; all three defects above are visible from one.

Graded on the writes and on the rendered surface, never on the flag: 22
mutations, no survivors, including one that lets a write escape and one that
goes silent instead of commanding 0 W. Closed loop on TEST-23 stage 3's rig,
same hour twice: live drives the pack to -2000 W and SoC 50.000 -> 62.331 %;
shadow commands 0 W throughout, SoC stays 50.0 exactly, and the arbitrage
decision is identical in action, instant, signed power, reason and arbiter
winner.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 995da777ce TARIFF-16: the injection leg stops being one number
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 7m42s
`price.py` modelled what a site is PAID for export as ONE scalar. The market
publishes a line, and the cards say so in their own words: Eneco Zon & Wind
Dynamisch `0,1 x BELPEX-H - 1,188` c EUR/kWh - "het injectietarief is dynamisch
en kan per uur wijzigen", identical on the January and the September 2026 cards;
ENGIE Dynamic `(B x eSpot_15) - A`; Aspiravi `0,07 x Belpex - 2`.
`price_export_formula` carries that line with its OWN coefficients.

⚠️ THIS IS NOT A WRONG-TRADE FIX, AND SAYING SO IS PART OF SHIPPING IT.
`arbitrage.py` does not read `export_price_eur_kwh` at all - its own comment
says so, citing §9.3's near-zero Belgian injection price as the reason the
economically sound trade on this market is charge-cheap-to-displace-expensive-
IMPORT. Both hours it compares are all-in CONSUMPTION prices. No trade this
add-on takes today is decided by an injection price and nothing here changes
one. What it changes is what an operator is told, and what a future
export-aware strategy rests on: OPT-06 and any export logic would otherwise
inherit a scalar that cannot represent the market, and the 6% VAT asymmetry
would be invisible in the arithmetic. test_price.py 17h parses every module
under app/ and goes red the day something calls an injection reader, so that
sentence is graded rather than attested.

FOUR PROPERTIES A SCALAR CANNOT HOLD. Its own factor (Eneco 0,102 consumption
against 0,100 injection; Aspiravi 0,07 against ~0,10 - not the consumption B
with a sign flip). A negative offset, which `price_markup_eur_kwh: float(0,1)`
cannot express at all. VAT-exemption - "injectietarieven zijn vrijgesteld van
btw" - against 6% on consumption, representable only because `vat_pct` is PER
SPEC. And a price that goes below zero with no floor, under 11,88 EUR/MWh of
BELPEX-H, which is the middle of a sunny day.

⚠️ A NEGATIVE INJECTION PRICE IS ACCEPTED, AND THAT NEEDED A DIFFERENT BAND
RATHER THAN A LOWER FLOOR. `implausible_all_in()` floors the consumption leg at
+0.02 EUR/kWh of energy; applied to injection that refuses the real market in
the hours it matters most. Measured rather than argued: 17c puts ONE spec
through BOTH bands and prints that the consumption band refuses -0.03008
EUR/kWh while the injection band accepts it. The floor was not decoration - it
is what catches a card read a hundred times too small, the one unit error the
card self-check cannot see because it cancels out of a comparison between the
two sides - so the bound moves OFF the price and ONTO the coefficients, where
it is index-free and sign-free: a pass-through band (Eneco's injection leg is
1.00x, Aspiravi's 0.70x; the band is 0.10-10x) and an offset magnitude bound
(0.20 EUR/kWh against published 0.01188 and 0.02). Two rungs that can both
answer a hundredfold error, so each is graded on its REASON, each gets a
stimulus the other cannot reach with the precondition asserted as its own
check, and they are mutated TOGETHER (TEST-16).

⚠️ THE CARD SELF-CHECK APPLIES WHERE THERE IS A CARD, AND WHERE THERE IS NOT
THAT IS STATED RATHER THAN WORKED AROUND. `price_formula` can require a `card`
block because a Belgian card prints the consumption formula, the reference
index AND the resulting price. Eneco's INJECTION formula is printed with no
price beside it. Requiring a block would make the published line inexpressible;
inventing the estimate would grade the coefficients against arithmetic done
with the same coefficients. So the block is OPTIONAL on this leg and unchanged
on the other, the self-check runs at the same tolerance wherever a printed
estimate exists, and validate.py says at startup - "its coefficients are
UNGRADED" - when it does not, naming the two bounds that ran instead. This is
TARIFF-15 demonstrating two tariffs end to end rather than three, one card
later. 17e also MEASURES the size of that gap: a factor of 0.070 where the
contract says 0.100 - 30% of every export payment - passes both bounds, because
0.70x is a pass-through somebody really publishes.

ONE PARSER, NOT TWO. `parse_export_formula()` is `parse_price_formula()` with
its OPTION NAME as an argument - TARIFF-17's move on `parse_static_profile()`,
exactly - and everything that differs between the legs is a string in one
`_LEGS` table. A second copy would be a second unit table, a second NaN rule, a
second unknown-key rule and a second `to_resolution()`, diverging first on the
23- and 25-hour days. test_price.py 17b pins it two ways: all 32 grammar names
are defined in exactly ONE module under app/, with the scope COMPUTED by
parsing every file rather than listed; and twelve refusal sentences for the new
option are DERIVED from the old option's own sentence rather than transcribed.
The four sentences that deliberately differ are named, with what differs, and
asserted to differ.

NOTHING CHANGES FOR A SITE THAT DOES NOT SET IT. The option ships "";
`export_price_eur_kwh()`'s body is byte-identical, pinned on the AST rather
than on the source text; `export_price_at()` falls through to it for every
index value. 17f compares seven option dicts x five index values against the
pre-TARIFF-16 expression with `==`.

`price_export_formula` joins FRAMEWORK_KEYS, BANNED_IN_PLUGIN_CODE is derived
from that set, and `code_leaks()` refuses a plugin that names it with nothing
else edited.

ALSO CORRECTED HERE: config.yaml's comment beside `export_price_eur_kwh` still
read "no shipped supplier publishes a dynamic injection curve". TARIFF-07
struck that claim from app/price.py and DOCS.md and did not reach config.yaml,
where it has been shipping since.

20 mutations, every one red on a named check, ledger in test_price.py below
section 17 - including a ZERO-byte one (the two legs transposed in the
VAT-asymmetry banner: no decision moves, only the sentence) and a ONE-byte one
(`card_required=True` on the injection leg). Three run over all 29 files and
red on test_price.py alone. 29/29 green.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 9c65ac2cf8 TARIFF-18: price_taxes_eur_kwh stops shipping at half the real figure
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 7m48s
`price_taxes_eur_kwh` shipped at 0.06 EUR/kWh with no recorded provenance -
no card, no date, no component list - and roughly HALF the true Flemish
all-in non-energy figure. It now ships at 0.11736, and the rows it is made
of are in the code rather than in this message:

  Fluvius distribution (Antwerpen)              5,35   c EUR/kWh
  Bijzondere accijns, "Alle verbruik"           4,876
  Bijdrage groene stroom en WKK Vlaanderen      1,51
  Energiebijdrage (0 EUR/MWh since 2026-08-01)  0
                                               ------
                                               11,736 c EUR/kWh = 0.11736

Eneco residential card for Flanders, September 2026, incl. 6 % VAT.
`app/price.py`'s FLEMISH_TAXES_COMPONENTS_EUR_KWH carries the rows and
test_price.py section 1b re-adds them - and also compares the total against
the card's own figures typed in the test file, so an edit that moved the
rows and the default together is still caught.

WHAT THIS IS NOT. It is not an arbitrage-correctness fix and it cannot be.
This scalar is a LEVEL component: an additive constant cancels exactly in
`max - min` and leaves the argmin where it was. TARIFF-17 shipped that proof
and it is unchanged - test_price.py 16b drives six flat scalars spanning and
exceeding the whole per-DSO range and gets the identical cheapest hour and
the identical spread to the last digit. DOCS and the CHANGELOG say so in
those words.

WHAT IT IS. A display and guard fix:

  * every number an operator reads, which at half the true value made the
    add-on look considerably better than it is; and
  * §17's negative-price guard in arbitrage.py - the one rung that tests an
    ABSOLUTE all-in price rather than a difference. It fires when
    `spot < -(markup + taxes)`, so its boundary moves -0.09 -> -0.14736
    EUR/kWh of spot. test_arbitrage.py section 2c drives both sides through
    the shipped decide() and pins the boundary from below as well.

The default is Antwerpen's real row, near the LOW end of the 0.117-0.131
per-DSO band, and that is deliberate: the error directions are not
symmetric. Too high carries a genuinely negative hour above zero and the
add-on exports into paid-for disposal - §17's own case. Too low only
declines a discharge that would have paid.

TARIFF-17's INTERACTION, WHICH HAD TO BE DECIDED. Nothing in that rung
hardcoded 0.06; it read PRICE_OPTION_DEFAULTS, so moving the default moves
what it refuses. The Supervisor sets `App.options = deepmerge(config.yaml
defaults, stored options)`, so a saved blob carries the key whether it was
typed or not - every stored 0.06 became "non-default" with nobody editing
anything, and a working Walloon or Brussels site with a taxes table would
have met SystemExit(78) on the upgrade over an inert number. price.py now
carries SUPERSEDED_TAXES_DEFAULTS_EUR_KWH = (0.06,) and validate.py reads a
superseded default as untouched too. The rung is NOT weakened: 0.1198 beside
a table is still refused by name, and the refusal now names both figures.

config.yaml and PRICE_OPTION_DEFAULTS moved together; CFG-03's tripwire
(test_price.py section 1, test_defaults_pin.py) stayed green by agreeing.
test_price.py section 0's fourth check was REWRITTEN rather than re-pointed:
it used to justify the file's own grading constants by observing that the
shipped pair was degenerate (0.06 is exactly twice 0.03). TARIFF-18 ends
that coincidence, so the sentence is no longer true and is not kept.

29/29 test files green. Mutation ledger on the PR.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 2fac0aaf06 TARIFF-17: a price component that varies by hour has somewhere to live
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 7m25s
`price.py` modelled the whole non-energy part of a Belgian bill as ONE flat
scalar. This adds `price_taxes_profile`, which carries the TAXES component as
a period table, and makes `assemble()` evaluate it at each point's own instant.

⚠️ THE FLAT SCALAR WAS NOT A WRONG NUMBER, AND THIS IS NOT A CORRECTION OF ONE.
The optimiser reads exactly two quantities off a series - the spread
`max - min` over the firm points, and which hour is cheapest - and an additive
constant identical in every hour cancels out of the first and leaves the second
where it was. It is provably inert. Measured, and printed by test_price.py 16b
on every run: with a flat taxes figure of 0.00, 0.0739, 0.1198, 0.1327 or 1.00
EUR/kWh the same 24-hour feed is cheapest at 13:00 in all five cases and its
spread is 0.1500 EUR/kWh in all five cases. What was missing is anywhere for an
HOUR-VARYING non-energy component to live. This is a missing capability, not a
bad constant.

Belgium has one. Fluvius distribution is a single rate - its tariff-card row
reads `Normaal | Uitsl. nacht`, where exclusive night is a separate physical
circuit and not a night register - so nothing changes for the reference site in
Flanders. The Walloon DSOs and Sibelga are on the same card with four columns,
`Enkelvoudig | Dag | Nacht | Uitsl. nacht`, and the gap is real money (c/kWh):
ORES 13,27 / 7,39; AIESH 15,17 / 8,21; Tecteo RESA 12,20 / 7,01; Sibelga
9,39 / 7,10; ORES IMPACT 2026 16,578 / 5,090.

⚠️ AND THE BANDS ARE ANTI-CORRELATED WITH WHAT THE BATTERY WANTS TO DO. The
cheap network hours are the cheap spot hours, so flattening them does not shift
the curve - it UNDERSTATES the spread and declines cycles that would have paid.
Same feed, same markup, the only difference being the taxes argument:

    flat 0.0000 / 0.0739 / 0.1198 / 0.1327 / 1.0000
                                       -> cheapest hour 13, spread 0.1500
    ORES dag 0.1327 / nacht 0.0739     -> cheapest hour 03, spread 0.1788

The regression check grades WHICH HOUR IS CHEAPEST, not the spread: an
implementation that reads the table once and adds one number to every point is
the LEVEL bucket wearing a period table - right magnitude, wrong shape - and a
spread assertion passes on it. Measured: hoisting the lookup out of
`assemble()`'s loop (+17 B) is red on six named checks in test_price.py and
GREEN in the other 28 files.

ONE GRAMMAR, NOT TWO. `static_tariff.py` already shipped the periods, the day
selectors, the tiling rule and the DST handling, so `parse_taxes_profile()` is
the same parser with the option name and the "what this number means" clause as
arguments. A second tiling rule would be a second set of 23- and 25-hour-day
bugs. test_static_tariff.py section 10 pins that two ways: by parsing every
module under `app/` and asserting the grammar is defined in exactly one of
them, and by deriving each of thirteen refusal sentences for the new option
from the old option's own sentence rather than transcribing them.

`Component.TAXES` semantics, `code_leaks()` and the double-counting guarantee
are untouched. The new key joins FRAMEWORK_KEYS, BANNED_IN_PLUGIN_CODE is
derived from that set, and a plugin that names it is refused at `register()`.
It reaches both plugins that take taxes - `custom_formula` ({ENERGY, MARKUP})
and `generic_dayahead` ({ENERGY}) - and not `manual_csv`, which is all-in: the
table is routed through `capabilities().adds`, exactly as the scalar is.

⚠️ A MALFORMED TABLE IS REFUSED AT STARTUP, NOT AT THE NEXT FETCH. It is read
on the ~30 s planning path, and a table that first fails at 03:00 is a site
that stops pricing at 03:00, which §11.4 turns into a quiet fallback
indistinguishable from a healthy fixed-tariff day. validate.py refuses three
things: a table that does not tile the day; a table set beside a NON-DEFAULT
`price_taxes_eur_kwh`, because the table wins and the scalar would then be a
number the operator typed that decides nothing; and a whole card typed in
CENTS, which is how these figures are printed. That last rung is not a
restatement of the parser's +-10 EUR/kWh bound - ORES's 13,27 trips the parser,
but Sibelga's entire card, 9,39 and 7,10, is under it and would otherwise have
started as a 9.39 EUR/kWh levy. Both rungs are graded by the REASON each gives,
and mutating them together (TEST-16) moves three rows.

NOTHING CHANGES FOR A SITE THAT DOES NOT SET IT. The option ships "", and the
scalar path is unchanged arithmetically rather than merely in intent:
test_price.py 16f reproduces the pre-TARIFF-17 expression and compares 12
capability/scalar combinations point for point with `==`.

13 mutations, every one red on a named check, ledger in test_price.py below

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 f8e501393f OPT-09: the weights parameter nothing ever passed, and what it cannot do
`allocator.plan()` has taken a `weights` argument since ALLOC-01 and NOTHING
had ever passed one - main.py called `resolve()` without it and the arbiter
defaulted it to 1.0 per unit - so the site target was split 50/50 regardless
of what either pack could do. Two things now feed it, and they are different
kinds of thing:

  * a `pack` UNIT claim at P_SAFETY that CLOSES a unit's envelope at its own
    `bms_soc_floor` or at 100 % - a PERMISSION, obeyed absolutely, so an empty
    pack is not asked to discharge and its share goes to the sibling;
  * SoC-aware weights by ENERGY headroom in kWh - a PREFERENCE, which
    `_fill()`'s last-resort pass will override the moment the sibling saturates.

Measured (test_packshare.py part 8): at a load one pack cannot cover, the
weighted arm and the shipped arm command the IDENTICAL watts into an empty pack
and deliver the IDENTICAL watts. Only the envelope stops the ask, and what it
buys is not delivery - it is a reported `unmet_w` where the record used to read
impeccable. Weights are a comfort choice for STABILITY and NOT for DELIVERY.

Also: an optional per-entry `capacity_kwh` (schema change, all-or-nothing across
the roster, rule 9 refuses a partial one); per-pack arbitrage sizing, with the
sell side's no-op stated rather than hidden; and a 0 W trade refused by name,
because a 0 W arbitrage claim is a park order that outranks the loop.

SAFETY-42 and this card meet at one hazard from opposite sides - OPT-09 stops
the site ASKING a pack whose SoC says it cannot deliver, SAFETY-42 alarms when a
pack that said it could does not - and its end-to-end fixture moved as a result.
Its finding is unchanged and is now stated on the two quantities its rejected
discriminator actually reads.

Not filed at all at a roster of one: at N=1 every source routes to the site, so
the interval would bound the SITE TARGET, and SAFETY-25's decided Option A
stands untouched on the live install.

⚠️ INVERTER B DOES NOT EXIST. Its 4600 W / 20.48 kWh / 10 % are FROM DATASHEET
AND SERIAL, and `sim/plantsim.py`'s INVERTER_B is inverter A copied
(`measured=False`), so every two-inverter figure here is arithmetic or two
copies of A. No hardware was touched.

adminandClaude Opus 5 5d7e275df4 SAFETY-39: slew_w is a ratio to the rail, and gain is what is still wrong
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 5m16s
`slew_w: 1000` was derived on 2026-08-22 against a clamp of 1500 W, where
"capping how far the loop can jump ahead of the inverter" was true because the
rail itself bounded the excursion. The live install went to max_w 5000 and the
constant did not move, so the loop crosses its whole output range in 10 s
against a plant NOTES.md §5.10 measured at ~18 s. Measured on the owner's system
2026-09-05 11:43-11:46: a 3.4 kW export drove the setpoint 380 -> 5000 W in five
2 s ticks, the battery to -5154 W past a 5000 VA rating, and the grid from
3.4 kW of EXPORT to 2.8 kW of IMPORT. Nothing was broken; the rail moved.

REPRODUCED FIRST, and one half of it is not reproducible at all. On
plantsim.Plant and on an independent in-repo model: the setpoint stepping a full
1000 W per tick to the rail (48 of 51 export steps), and the meter crossing from
export into import. The -5154 W figure is NOT reproducible in either model,
because both clamp the plant at its rating - so the card's AC "battery no longer
exceeds max_w in simulation" is unfalsifiable and was rewritten rather than met.

THE DELIVERABLE IS THE RELATIONSHIP.
  SLEW_RAIL_FRAC = LOOP_TICK_S / PLANT_SETTLE_S = 2 s / 18 s = 1/9
  slew_w = 0 now means FOLLOW THE RAIL - SLEW_RAIL_FRAC * max_w - exactly as
  integrator_max_w = 0 already means follow max_w. It is the shipped default:
  222 W at max_w 2000, 556 W at 5000, 1067 W at a ~9600 W two-inverter site.
  validate.py rule 10 refuses an explicit value faster than that, graded against
  sum(unit_caps(opts)) - the roster sum, i.e. Controller.site_max_w - so a
  second inverter moves the bound with no operator action.

VERIFIED BY BREAKING IT: restoring slew_w 1000 at max_w 5000 is refused, and the
refusal names the rail, the crossing time, the measurement and what to do.
Equality, one watt of slack, the live interim 400 and slew_w 0 at every rating
all still start.

GAIN IS THE CONSTANT THAT IS STILL WRONG, and it is NOT changed here. Over 51
export steps the over-absorption is FLAT in slew (958 W at 1000, 1081 W at 250)
and monotone in gain (987 W at 0.6, 876 at 0.3, 435 at 0.2): slew_w bounds the
OUTPUT, while the integrator moves gain*error per cycle and reaches a 5000 W
rail in under three ticks whatever the slew is. Two control-law constants moving
in one release on a running house makes the next measurement uninterpretable.

⚠️ N=2: the site rail becomes sum(max_w) ~ 9600 W (inverter B FROM DATASHEET AND
SERIAL, not measured, and sim/plantsim.py's INVERTER_B is A copied), and the
enforced ratio produces 1067 W there automatically. But a growing rail LOOSENS
this bound, and the >= 900 W symptom goes stale at N=2 the same way the constant
did - both stated in the record rather than left to be discovered.

Nothing reached the inverter. The live install still runs the interim slew_w 400
applied by hand on 2026-09-05, which rule 10 accepts unchanged.

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 f9e7fbf86d SAFETY-32: bms_soc_floor per pack, rule 8 per unit
`bms_soc_floor` describes A BATTERY, not a site. At two packs of different
models the cut-outs differ, and one number for both graded the shallower pack
against the deeper one's BMS - so a site with cut-outs of 10 % and 30 % under
`peak_soc_floor: 20` STARTED, and the guard would command a forced discharge
that pack B's BMS, not the operator's floor, is the thing that stops. That is
rule 8's own failure mode, reached through rule 8.

Scoped to the card's third bullet, per its PM PROOFREAD: the aggregate
anti-windup (DEV-02) and per-instance `achievable_w` (CFG-04) were verified as
already shipped and are untouched.

* config.yaml: `bms_soc_floor: int(0,50)` REQUIRED per `inverters:` entry.
  Nothing is inherited; the flat key stays the single-inverter shape's own
  cut-out. A per-entry DEFAULT was declined - a default is one number for every
  pack, which is this card's defect - and the decision is recorded.
* inverter.py: `Inverter.bms_soc_floor`; an entry that states none gets None,
  not a borrowed number and not 0.0 (the most permissive value the key has).
* peakguard.py: `Pack`, `pack_floor_pct()`, `pack_permissions()`,
  `binding_soc_floor()`. `discharge_permitted()` is unchanged and is still the
  one place the question is answered.
* validate.py: `unit_bms_floors_indexed()` carries the ROSTER index; rule 8
  grades EVERY unit and NAMES the one it refuses. Graded with the offender
  SECOND and with the same two numbers in the other order.
* main.py: `Controller.packs`; `decide(soc_floor=...)` is the per-pack
  reduction of the same option; the floor-limited notification names the pack
  that stopped the site. `pack_floor_soc` - the emptiest pack, and its
  None-on-missing behaviour - is untouched.
* tools/supervisor_shape_probe.py: RE-RUN and repaired. The required key broke
  §C and left §D printing PASS on a refusal about a different key. §D is now an
  isolated counterfactual over an accepted merged baseline, one key varied,
  asserting the key name. `all cases passed` on 2026.08.0.

Stated rather than hidden: under any config rule 8 accepts the per-pack FLOOR
reduces to `peak_soc_floor` for every pack. The reduction is written for
`unit_caps_indexed()`'s reason and graded on both sides - 1775 rule-8-valid
pairs answer the option, the pair rule 8 refuses answers the cut-out.
`peak_soc_floor` is still one number for the site, so the "deeper pack
needlessly withheld" half is filed as an open question, not closed.

Full 19-file suite green. Twelve source mutations through
tools/mutation_run.sh: eleven red, one argued survivor. The battery also found
`_flat_bms_floor()` defaulting in two places, each covering for the other.

No measurement of inverter B appears anywhere: it does not exist yet. Every
second-pack figure is simulated and labelled.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 a9993aeda2 SPIKE-04a: inverter B is 4600 W FROM ITS DATASHEET, and the copies are pinned
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 4m51s
The desk half of SPIKE-04. No control behaviour changes; this is documentation
and the check that stops it drifting again.

Three places stated inverter B's rating - config.yaml's commented roster
example, DOCS.md's, and tools/supervisor_shape_probe.py's "a blob an operator
would POST" - and all three said 3000 W, a number nobody had measured or read
off anything. The owner supplied B's model and serial on 2026-09-04: a GoodWe
GW5048D-ES, serial `55048ESU22AW0992`, max charging and discharging power
4600 W. Serial characters 6-8 are `ESU`, platform 105 / AA55, so SPIKE-01 does
not gate this site. All three copies now read 4600.

⚠️ 4600 W IS FROM A DATASHEET AND IS NOT A MEASUREMENT, and the one ambiguity
is recorded rather than guessed. The datasheet prints it under BATTERY INPUT
DATA, so it is probably DC, while max_w is graded against 0x0518 - the
inverter's own AC power. If it is DC the AC ceiling is nearer 4324 W. Neither
reading is written in as fact; SAFETY-20's min(max_w, dev_max) already bounds
it correctly under either, once dev_max is read off the unit, so `max_w: 4600`
is what an operator should configure today. goodwe/NOTES.md §1.1b carries the
full record with the date and the method on every figure.

A NEW CHECK, BECAUSE A DOCUMENTATION FIX WITHOUT ONE DRIFTS AGAIN.
test_validate.py now pins all three documented rosters: findable, in agreement,
and equal to 4600 - with an explicit len(...) == 3 guard so that a regex which
stopped matching cannot leave "they all agree" green on the two sites still
read. It also grades the PROVENANCE beside the number (the datasheet, the
0x0518 it is graded against, and the 4324 W the DC reading would make it)
WITHIN 2500 characters of the roster rather than file-wide.

⚠️ The first version of that provenance check searched whole files and was
ALREADY VACUOUS on two of them: 0x0518 appeared once in config.yaml and once in
DOCS.md before this card, for unrelated reasons, so `"0x0518" in src` was green
no matter what happened next to B's rating. That is a check whose data cannot
reach the failure it names, in the file that exists to complain about them. It
is fixed, and the window is what fixes it - deleting the caveat beside the
number now goes red even where the same token survives elsewhere in the file.
The windowed version immediately found that the DOCS.md caveat did not name
0x0518 at all; DOCS.md now says it.

Four mutations, bytecode purged and counted at 0 before and after each, all
RED (two of them 0-byte deltas that change a printed answer):
  M1  probe's operator blob 4600 -> 3000        0 B   RED (value + agreement)
  M2  DOCS.md's DC/AC caveat deleted         -157 B   RED (provenance)
  M3  config.yaml alone 4600 -> 4324            0 B   RED (agreement)
  M4  probe entity renamed, regex finds nothing       RED (the vacuity guard)
Restored, green again. The probe itself was re-run against Supervisor
2026.08.0's own AppOptions validator with the 4600: all cases passed, exit 0.

⚠️ THE TEST FIXTURES KEEP 3000 W ON PURPOSE AND NOW SAY WHY AT THE LINE.
test_inverter.py, test_maintenance.py, test_peakguard.py and test_watchdog.py
build a second inverter at 3000 W against A's 5000 W. The only property those
checks consume is that B's number is unmistakably not A's, and the real pair is
a 400 W gap - narrower than slew_w, inside the range where an off-by-one-unit
bug and ordinary control arithmetic produce indistinguishable numbers.
Collapsing them onto the real values would buy realism those checks do not use
and cost them their separating power, which is exactly what test_peakguard.py's
own §10g PRECONDITION exists to prevent. Their comments no longer call 3000 W a
hypothesis about B's rating; they call it illustrative, and not a placeholder
either - the placeholder era ended on 2026-09-04.

Also recorded in the changelog for the cards that own them: 94 % battery-to-AC
=> ~88 % round trip => ~360 W burned continuously to circulate 3 kW, which is
the number SAFETY-31 argues its threshold from without having one; < 13 W night
self-consumption per unit, which nothing accounts for; and the A/B asymmetry in
opposite directions (~33 % more energy, ~8 % less power), which means MAINT-05's
12 h drain timeout was derived on A and should be re-checked against B.

⚠️ Honest survivors:
- goodwe/NOTES.md §1.1b, where all of this is actually recorded, is graded by
  nothing here. Rewriting its 16 occurrences of 4600 to 3000 and turning every
  FROM DATASHEET label into MEASURED ON THE UNIT leaves all 19 files GREEN.
  This CI cannot fetch admin/goodwe - private, and GITHUB_TOKEN is minted for
  this repository only, as .gitea/workflows/checks.yml already states - so the
  cross-repo check is not buildable here.
- No check can see whether 4600 is the RIGHT number. Everything above pins a
  datasheet reading against itself. Only the bench half of SPIKE-04 can say
  whether the unit agrees, and the DC-vs-AC ambiguity is the live example.
- The constant is still named B_RATING_HYPOTHESIS in four test files, which
  reads as a hypothesis about B's rating when it is now an illustrative
  fixture. It is left alone deliberately: renaming ~20 sites across
  test_peakguard.py and test_inverter.py would collide hard with the open
  SAFETY-32 pull request, which rewrites 1255 lines of the first. The comment
  directly above each definition says what the value is and is not.

Suite: 19/19 green in goodwe-addon-ci, mounted :ro, bytecode purged and
verified 0 before and after.

adminandClaude Opus 5 1aef19e995 MAINT-05: one recalibration per pack, and only one pack moves power at a time
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 4m48s
§12's monthly cycle drains a pack to empty and refills it to true its coulomb
counter. There was exactly one `Maintenance` and one un-namespaced history, so
at two packs only the first was ever recalibrated - and nothing prevented the
cycle draining pack A while the loop charged pack B, which is two power-moving
phases on one grid connection pulling against each other.

* ONE `Maintenance` PER ROSTER ENTRY, each with its own schedule, phase and
  history under `unit/<name>/...`. `store.migrate_maint_keys()` moves an
  install's flat history into the first pack's namespace under
  `migrate_unit_keys()`'s three rules - shared in code via `_move_flat_keys()`
  and `_verify_moves()`, not restated - on its own marker, because unlike
  DEV-02's it runs only where the roster has more than one pack. The flat keys
  are kept LIVE as the rollback view.
* ONE MAINTENANCE SLOT PER SITE (`maintenance.arbitrate()`). At most one pack
  in a power-moving phase - drain, charge AND hold. The holder is DERIVED from
  the packs' own stored phases, never persisted, so a restart mid-drain
  re-derives it. Several packs due in the same hour: the slot goes to the one
  that has gone longest without a completed cycle; roster order breaks a
  numeric tie and nothing else. Nothing preempts a cycle in flight.
* THE DEFERRED PACK IS NOT STARVED AND IS NOT A FAULT. A deferral does not
  stamp `last_start_attempt` and does not move the phase, so neither the 12 h
  drain nor the 36 h charge timeout is reachable by waiting.
* The claim is filed on the pack whose state machine produced it, and stays
  SCOPE_UNIT - ARCH-01's rule.
* `validate.py` rule 6 grades `maintenance_charge_w` against the WEAKEST cap on
  the roster now, as its own comment said it must once `maint_unit` stopped
  being `inverters[0]`.
* At a roster of one nothing changes, and it is asserted: no new store key, the
  migration does not run, the four cycle events are the shipped strings, the
  banner is the bare phase.
* RECORDED NOT FIXED: a drain pins its pack while the loop's target is a site
  claim, so below the pin the allocator refuses the split and the site parks at
  0 W. Pre-existing at 2d025ee. Pinned as a running check.

Verified: 19/19 suites green in the CI image; 17 mutations run through
tools/mutation_run.sh (bytecode purged), every one observed red.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 ae21b71824 Merge release/1.0 into SAFETY-30
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 4m39s
CFG-04 (#45) merged first and moved the base. Two conflicts, both resolved
as the union of the two sides:

- app/main.py: an import-block collision. CFG-04 added validate_unit_ranges
  to the .validate import; SAFETY-30 added AGAINST_METER, AGAINST_OWN_POWER,
  SIGN_OPTION_DEFAULTS and SignWatchdog to the .watchdog import. Neither
  side dropped anything, so the resolution keeps both lists whole.
- CHANGELOG.md: two adjacent new entries under ## Unreleased. Both kept.

Both sides also independently rewrote large parts of test_peakguard.py
(60 and 47 insertions against the merge base) and git merged them
textually, so the full suite was run on the MERGE RESULT rather than
inferred from the two parents: 19 passed, 0 failed, twice.

One caveat recorded rather than hidden: test_peakguard.py failed once
during the first sequential full-suite run and then passed 10/10 in
isolation and in two further full runs on this same tree. It passes on
both parents too, so this is the pre-existing flakiness CFG-04 already
disclosed, not a merge defect - it is timing- or load-sensitive. It sits
on the required CI context and can therefore block an unrelated merge at
random, which wants a card of its own.

adminandClaude Opus 5 f000547518 SAFETY-30: grade each inverter against its own power, and the site's total against the meter
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 4m38s
THE DEFECT, in one line. `inv.sign_wd.evaluate(stood, self.grid, ...)` compared
the command THIS controller put on ONE actuator against what the WHOLE SITE is
exchanging with the network. At a roster of one those are two views of the same
thing - specs.md §6.2's identity - and that is what makes the check sound and
what earned it the best record in the safety table (NOTES.md: 93 % agreement
while healthy against 4 % during runaway, four observed episodes, zero false
positives). At two inverters they are not, and it fails in BOTH directions:

  FALSE TRIP  inverter A commanded -1500 W while the meter reads +1500 W is
              evidence of nothing when inverter B is discharging 3000 W exactly
              as told. Nothing is faulty and the highest-value check fires.
  MISSED      the converse, and it is worse. A unit commanded +1500 W and
              MEASURED at -1500 W, beside a sibling at +1500 W, leaves P1
              exactly where a healthy site leaves it. The summation destroys the
              evidence and no threshold recovers it.

DEV-02 had already shipped the per-INSTANCE half - one SignWatchdog per
inverter, namespaced latch, a trip on B no longer latching A. What was left was
the COMPARISON, and it is two questions rather than one:

  PER UNIT  this unit's standing command against ITS OWN measured power
            (`Inverter.batt`, holding register 0x0518, per-instance since
            DEV-02). Conclusion: "the actuator I am driving is not doing what I
            told it" - a fact about one device, so the remedy stays the per-unit
            `failsafe` SET that arbiter.CLAIM_SCOPE has classified SCOPE_UNIT
            from the day it was written. That entry read "the evidence is
            site-wide and the remedy is not"; the first half is now simply true.
  SITE      the SUM of the standing commands against the meter, as a new
            `sign_site` SET at P_SAFETY on the site actuator, latched under flat
            `site_sign_tripped` / `site_sign_reason`. This is the 2026-08-20
            fault day and NO per-unit check can see it, because every inverter
            may be faithfully executing its share of a number that is itself
            wrong. It stops every inverter and the banner names the site.

WHAT IT IS NOT, said here because two guards that overlap without saying so is
how a false-alarm generator gets built. It is not SAFETY-31: circulation.py
compares the units AGAINST EACH OTHER and catches them pushing power THROUGH
each other, which nets to zero at the meter and about which no single command is
evidence. This compares each unit against ITS OWN COMMAND. They overlap in
exactly one scenario - a unit reversing while its sibling pulls the other way -
and test_watchdog.py asserts on that fixture that both fire and what each
concludes. It is also not the saturation freeze, which is a MAGNITUDE test
(|command - measured| > 500 W) that shapes the loop and fires on a merely
saturated unit; this is a DIRECTION test that latches and parks one.

THE FOUR NUMBERS, RE-DERIVED AT TWO INVERTERS - one carried with a justification
and one refused. 1890 closed-loop runs on admin/goodwe's TEST-19 two-master rig
in which NOTHING is faulty, swept over the whole range config.yaml accepts for
`gain` and `slew_w`, across load reversals with write staggers and flapping
loads, and RUN AT BOTH ROSTERS so the N=1 arm is the control:

  unit_sign_disagree_w  250   `saturation_w / 2`. The check gates on both sides,
                              opposed, so the smallest gap it can see is 500 W -
                              exactly where compute()'s own anti-windup test
                              already says the inverter is not following. It
                              cannot fire on a divergence the control law calls
                              ordinary tracking. Worst legitimate opposition at
                              250 W: 10.0 s; the curve is nearly flat, because a
                              unit's own power chases its own command.
  unit_sign_disagree_s   85   8.5x that 10.0 s, 2.8x the firmware's own 30 s
                              link veto (inverter.LINK_STALE_S), under half the
                              180 s site hold.
  site_sign_disagree_w  300   CARRIED. Its argument is the meter's noise floor
                              and the 15 W deadband; the roster touches neither,
                              and the campaign agrees - the gate opens in 994 of
                              1050 runs at two inverters and 955 of 1050 at one.
  site_sign_disagree_s  325   NOT CARRIED, and this is the number the card
                              exists to not assume. The worst legitimate
                              crossing at 300 W is 110 s with one inverter and
                              215 s with TWO, because the command must travel a
                              rail that is the roster sum at a `slew_w` that is
                              not - reachable at gain 0.05, slew_w 50 and a
                              2.2 kW load reversal, all schema-legal. 180 s
                              would have shipped a false trip. 325 s is 1.51x
                              the measured worst, inside the 900 s billing
                              quarter and inside every episode of the fault day.

AT ONE INVERTER NOTHING CHANGES, and "nothing" is asserted rather than assumed.
The two questions are the same sentence there, so only the detector that shipped
is armed: same comparison against the meter, same 300 W / 180 s, same reason
string byte for byte, same namespaced latch and flat rollback mirror, same
`failsafe` claim, same banner, same single status row - and the site detector is
NEVER CALLED, counted on the object over twelve cycles.

VERIFIED BY BREAKING IT. Thirteen mutations on fresh per-mutation trees with no
__pycache__, mounted :ro, with the battery refusing to report at all unless the
baseline is green. Twelve red on the first pass. M4 - the site half armed at N=1
as well - SURVIVED, because the check read `disagree_since is None` and the unit
detector trips first, parks the inverter and leaves the site standing at 0 W:
the assertion ran, the sentence was true, and the data could not reach the
failure it named. Replaced with a call counter on the object; M4 is red now.
Recorded as a survivor in DECISIONS/SAFETY-30-per-unit-sign.md §5, with the
first battery's own RED BASELINE - a shared mutation directory read mid-copy -
discarded rather than reported.

RECORDED, NOT FIXED: the site comparison is defeated by a square-wave load whose
half period is about one control cycle, which holds it opposed for ~1000 s. The
N=1 control arm is what makes that interpretable - it is identical at the roster
this add-on ships, so it is a property of comparing a lagged command against a
meter and has nothing to do with the second inverter. It wants an alternation
test rather than a number, and a card of its own.

SAFETY-24's lo-only asymmetry proof re-run unchanged: 1296 combinations, 0
negative floors, `hi` +inf on every claim, every claim on the SITE actuator.

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.

Claude 591c35ed01 SAFETY-28: gate the write path on the allocation record, not on key count
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 4m19s
specs §1.5 makes "any configuration in which two writers can reach one
actuator" a non-goal. That non-goal was enforced by counting config keys:
validate.py's ACTUATOR_WRITE_KEYS = ("setpoint_entity",), consumed at rule 1,
with a comment stating the guarantee outright - "there is exactly one such
key, so a second writer is not expressible in the options schema at all".

That was true and it graded THE SHAPE OF THE OPTIONS SCHEMA, not the writes.
Add CFG-04's per-inverter config - a roster of inverters each with its own
setpoint_entity - and there are two real writers with len() of that tuple
still equal to 1. The check stays green while the property it protects is
gone. sim/inject.py's two_writers scenario asserted on the same tuple, so it
went green too. That is this repository's named failure mode: a check that
observes something other than what it claims to observe.

Demonstrated rather than argued. test_validate.py part 2 now constructs the
hazardous per-inverter config, asserts that the OLD proxy is still green on
it, and then asserts the new check refuses it. Against release/1.0's
validator the updated sim scenario reports: "validate_startup_config()
ACCEPTED a configuration in which 3 declarations reach the ONE actuator
number.goodwe_setpoint ... the old proxy reports 1 write key(s) on this same
config and is therefore GREEN on it".

THE WRITE PATH IS NOW GATED ON THE RECORD
=========================================
Controller.write_refusal() asks Allocation.authorises() whether the single
allocator placed exactly this number, for this unit, on this tick.
write_setpoint() refuses anything else. A second writer with arithmetic of
its own cannot satisfy that - its number appears in no record - so it has to
file a Claim and go through resolve(), which is the one allocator. "Exactly
one allocator per shared resource" stops being a convention somebody can
forget and becomes something the write path checks.

The refusal is a SUBSTITUTION, not a return: 0 W goes on the wire in place of
the number nothing stands behind. Returning would leave the inverter latched
on its last command with the ESP32 heartbeat still being fed - holding an
unauthorised setpoint quietly, which is the outcome the gate exists to stop.
AC 1 is "refused at the write path, not merely logged", and test_clamp.py
part 7a grades the device's writes, not the log.

The gate sits BELOW the non-finite coercion and ABOVE the clamp. Below,
because a nan is loss of input and rule 1 has already turned it into 0 W.
Above, because the question is who chose this number, and the answer is only
meaningful about the number that was asked for - gating the CLAMPED value
would refuse exactly the cycles SAFETY-03 exists for, since a clamped write
differs from the allocator's share by construction. Mutation M7 moves the
gate below the clamp and turns nine checks red, part 6c among them.

A STALE RECORD CANNOT BE REPLAYED
=================================
Every Allocation now carries the `tick` it was made for. It is handed IN by
the caller - plan(..., tick=) - rather than counted inside the allocator,
because test_alloc.py part 10 grades that the module holds no state at all,
and a serial number incremented in there would be the cached-across-ticks
thing the envelope rule forbids wearing a different hat.

Controller.alloc_tick advances ONCE PER RESOLUTION, not once per loop
iteration, and both halves are load-bearing:

  * a new allocation makes the previous record stale immediately, so a record
    whose envelopes have moved cannot authorise a write. That is the replay
    half (AC 2), graded by capturing a real record, running another real
    cycle, putting the old one back and observing refusal.
  * the "inputs missing, not yet stale" hold returns BEFORE the allocator
    runs, exactly so one dropped meter reading does not zero the inverter,
    and the heartbeat re-affirms self.target through this same gate while it
    does. A tick incremented per loop iteration would refuse that heartbeat
    and turn the hold into the outage it exists to prevent. Graded.

An UNSTAMPED record (tick None) authorises nothing: "I cannot say when I was
made" fails closed rather than reading as tick zero.

THE FAILSAFE CANNOT DEADLOCK BEHIND THE GATE, AND HERE IS WHY
=============================================================
write_setpoint() is also how layer 2 commands 0 W. cycle()'s two refusal
branches substitute a 0 W failsafe and write it like any other cycle;
shutdown() and the operator's stop button do the same. EVERY ONE OF THOSE
RUNS WHILE THE ALLOCATOR HAS REFUSED - ok is False and there are no shares -
so a gate that asked the allocator's permission to command zero would block
the safety write behind the very component whose failure the safety write
answers. A gate that can do that is worse than the hole it closes.

Resolved by authorising 0 W unconditionally, and on the VALUE rather than on
a failsafe=True flag: a flag is an assertion by the caller, which is exactly
what a second writer would pass; the value is a fact about what will be
written. The argument that this is safe and not merely convenient is that the
hazard §1.5 names is N-times loop gain from BROADCAST - handing every inverter
the same target so each supplies it in full (allocator.py's opening argument;
TEST-19 measured a permanent 4000 W p2p limit cycle at gain 1.0 with no guard
firing). At S = 0 the broadcast and the correct allocation COINCIDE: a_i = 1
for every unit gives every unit 0 W, which is exactly its share. There is no
over-command to make at zero. Said at the line, in write_refusal().

test_clamp.py part 7c drives it end to end through the real cycle() and the
real REFUSE_EMPTY branch: the allocator refuses every tick, the device still
sees 0 W, and the action log says ARBITER: REFUSED rather than WRITE REFUSED
so the two failures stay distinguishable to whoever has to debug them.

unmet_w IS STILL NOT ok
=======================
The gate reads ok and the unit's share and never unmet_w. allocator.py:179
says why: an allocation that could not place every watt is still safe to
write, and fusing them would let one saturated inverter park the whole site.
Graded on a record with 3800 W unmet and every share legal - mutation M5 adds
`or self.unmet_w` to the gate and that check goes red.

THE CONFIG CHECK, REPLACED RATHER THAN DELETED
==============================================
actuator_writers() counts WRITERS PER ACTUATOR instead of option keys. It
walks the options TREE rather than looking for a container called `inverters`,
because CFG-04 has not chosen that name yet and a census that guessed wrong
would go green while two writers existed - the same defect one step along.
Entity ids are folded to lower case so a second writer cannot be smuggled in
as Number.X versus number.x.

Two inverters with two entities are ACCEPTED - that is what the per-inverter
roster is for, and a validator that refuses the feature it guards is one
somebody switches off. Two declarations aimed at ONE entity are refused,
naming the actuator and every writer pointed at it. That includes the case an
author will meet first - keeping setpoint_entity as A's and listing A again -
because "they happen to be the same entity, so it is fine" is precisely the
reasoning that makes two writers invisible.

ACTUATOR_WRITE_KEYS survives ONLY as the enumeration a census needs, with its
guarantee comment deleted; nothing asserts on its length any more. Keeping the
name is also what stops admin/goodwe's current two_writers scenario failing on
an AttributeError between the two merges.

WHAT NEITHER CHECK OBSERVES, SAID OUT LOUD
==========================================
The census sees CONFIGURED writers. A second write path added in CODE - a
hass.set_number() call next to some new strategy - declares nothing and is
invisible to it, exactly as it was invisible to the tuple. That half is not
closed at startup and cannot be; it is closed at runtime by the record gate,
which does not care what the options look like or who called the method. The
two checks are deliberately different kinds, and only the runtime one survives
a schema this file has not seen yet.

EVIDENCE
========
* Full 18-file suite green on a purged tree (tools/mutation_run.sh).
* Verified by breaking it - seven mutations, each on a purged tree, each
  reverted and re-verified:
    M1 remove the gate                -> test_clamp red (4 checks)
    M2 make the zero exit an amnesty  -> test_clamp red (12 checks)
    M3 drop the tick comparison       -> test_clamp red (5 checks)
    M4 delete the census refusal      -> test_validate red (3 checks)
    M5 fuse unmet_w into ok           -> test_clamp red (1 check)
    M6 freeze the tick on the live path -> test_clamp red (2 checks)
    M7 move the gate below the clamp  -> test_clamp red (9 checks)
* AC 5: no existing check was weakened. The two edits to test_clamp.py are
  fixtures, not assertions - parts 5 and 6c call write_setpoint() directly
  with a number nothing allocated, which is now refused, so they say where
  their number came from. Every assertion in both parts is unchanged, and
  part 7f asserts that across part 3's sixty real cycles the gate refused
  zero writes.
* admin/goodwe's TEST-19 norig scenarios (planner_binding, two_master_plant,
  two_master_broadcast) still pass against this tree - they import the
  add-on's control law across the repo boundary.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 d5b1ef19b3 CFG-03: give maintenance option defaults one source of truth
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 3m44s
Option defaults for the maintenance cycle were declared in three places that
could disagree, and MAINT-04 proved they already did. config.yaml shipped
`maintenance_charge_w: 2000`; main.py carried TWO `opts.get(..., 2500)`
fallbacks; MaintConfig's dataclass carried a third `2500.0`. So an options dict
with the key ABSENT was ACCEPTED by validate.py's rule 6 - which read 2000 -
and then built by main.py at 2500, against a 2000 W ceiling:

    options dict with maintenance_charge_w ABSENT, max_w=2000
      validate_startup_config  ->  []  (accepted, no problems)
      MaintConfig().charge_w   ->  2500.0
      arbiter.resolve()        ->  0.0 W, contradiction=True

That is the bug rule 6 exists to refuse, passing rule 6. It is unreachable on a
Supervisor install, which always supplies every key from config.yaml, and fully
reachable from sim/inject.py and from the test suite - which is where anyone
debugging maintenance actually works.

MAINT-04 shipped a TRIPWIRE and said so: test_validate.py pinned all three
literals and asserted the consequence through the real arbiter, so the
divergence could not silently widen or be half-closed. Its PASSING CONDITION
WAS THE BUG. Both it and validate.py's comment said to delete each other when
the divergence was closed. It is closed, so both are deleted.

THE DIVERGENCE WAS WIDER THAN ONE KEY. `maintenance_discharge_w` had the
identical three-way split (config.yaml 2000, MaintConfig 2500) and the card
named only the charge side. Closing one and leaving its twin would have
satisfied the numbers and left three sources of truth one line down, which is
the state that produced the bug. Both are closed, and so is the whole family:
all eight `maintenance_*` keys go through the same mechanism.

WHAT THE SINGLE SOURCE IS. config.yaml's `options:` block - it is what the
Supervisor reads and what the operator edits, so it wins by definition. There
is now exactly one in-code copy, `maintenance.MAINT_OPTION_DEFAULTS`, which is
TARIFF-02's `PRICE_OPTION_DEFAULTS` and SAFETY-24's `PEAK_OPTION_DEFAULTS`
pattern applied to the family that named the card - validate.py's rule 8 comment
already called that "CFG-03 read as a rule rather than as a complaint", so this
makes the rule hold where it was first broken rather than inventing a fourth
mechanism for one option family.

A MIRROR RATHER THAN A RUNTIME READ, and the reason is mechanical: the
Dockerfile copies `app/` and `run.sh` into the image and NOT config.yaml. The
running add-on cannot open the file it is configured by, so there is nothing to
read at 03:00 on a client's Pi, and a YAML-subset parser that could fail at
import is a new way for the add-on not to start. What makes the copy safe is
that test_maintenance.py pins every entry by READING the shipped file - drift is
a CI failure, not a comment.

EVERY OTHER SITE NOW DERIVES FROM IT OR HAS CEASED TO EXIST:

  * MaintConfig's eight dataclass defaults are indexed out of the mirror. No
    numeric literal survives in the class that held the third opinion.
  * `MaintConfig.from_options()` is the ONLY place in the add-on that reads a
    `maintenance_*` option. main.py's eight inline `opts.get(key, <literal>)`
    calls are gone: moving the read next to the mirror means the fallback cannot
    be anything but the mirror, because there is no literal in sight of it to
    disagree with. It uses `key in opts` rather than truthiness, so a shipped
    `false` or `0` is honoured instead of being quietly replaced by the default
    - this card's own bug in a different costume.
  * main.py's SECOND fallback site - the cheap-window charge floor at the
    P_MAINT_SHAPE claim - reads `self.maint.cfg.charge_w` instead of re-opening
    the options dict with its own literal. The Controller had already parsed
    this once in __init__; asking the object that owns it cannot drift from it,
    and the rate the shaping asks for can no longer be a different number from
    the rate the state machine drains at on the same install.
  * validate.py's rule 6 and its `maintenance_discharge_w` warning take their
    fallbacks from the mirror.

WHERE THE RANGE LIVES, STATED AND CHECKED. config.yaml's `schema:` block carries
`maintenance_charge_w: int(500,5000)` - a fourth declaration site of a different
kind. It is a BOUND, not a default, so it is not this bug; but leaving the
question open is how a fifth site arrives. The decision recorded in config.yaml
and in maintenance.py is: bounds live in the schema block ONLY, because the
Supervisor is what enforces them and the Supervisor reads only that file, so a
Python copy of `int(500,5000)` would be a place to disagree and nothing else.
test_maintenance.py checks both halves of that: every mirrored key must have a
schema entry - without one the Supervisor drops the option and the add-on
silently runs on the mirror instead of the operator's value - and every shipped
default must lie INSIDE its own range, since a default the schema rejects is a
config that cannot be re-entered once it is edited. What the schema grammar
cannot express is a relation BETWEEN keys (`maintenance_charge_w` against
`max_w`), which is exactly why rule 6 is written in Python and why it does not
belong in the mirror either.

THE REPLACEMENT CHECKS, AND HOW THEY WERE VERIFIED. test_validate.py's new
section exercises the same four consumers the defect ran through, the same way:
the validator ACCEPTS a dict with every maintenance key missing; a REAL
Controller built from that same dict holds 2000 W (through main.py, not through
a regex over its source); `MaintConfig()` answers 2000 W with no dict at all;
and the real arbiter emits `-2000 W, limited by supervised(max_w)` instead of
`0 W, contradiction=True`. test_maintenance.py pins the mirror to config.yaml in
both directions - equal values, and full coverage of every `maintenance_*` key
the file ships, so a ninth key cannot arrive unmirrored - and asserts the
consumers move as a RELATION rather than against numbers, reading MaintConfig's
defaults back out of `dataclasses.fields()`.

Each new check was verified by BREAKING the thing it watches and observing red,
this project's rule:

  1. config.yaml -> 1500, mirror left at 2000:  test_maintenance 1 FAILED,
     test_validate 4 FAILED.
  2. config.yaml AND the mirror -> 1500: green again, and every consumer moved
     together - MaintConfig() 1500 W, the Controller 1500 W, and the arbiter
     `-1500 W, limited by maintenance(cheap-window charge)` where it had said
     `-2000 W, limited by supervised(max_w)`. That is AC4: change the single
     source and watch the consumers follow.
  3. `charge_w: float = 2500.0` retyped into the dataclass: 2 FAILED in each of
     the two files.
  4. `opts.get("maintenance_charge_w", 2500)` restored in main.py: 1 FAILED,
     naming the file and the literal it found.
  5. `maintenance_hold_min` deleted from config.yaml's options block: 3 FAILED.

Full suite 17/17 in goodwe-addon-ci, twice, once under parallel load.

Stale prose that asserted the now-closed divergence as current is corrected in
app/watchdog.py, test_watchdog.py and test_peakguard.py - watchdog.py's example
still uses 1500 W, but because the point of the example is a charge strictly
inside the ceiling, not because 2500 is what ships.

adminandClaude Opus 5 83911ed637 SAFETY-20: measure the freeze rail against the reachable ceiling, not max_w
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 3m37s
SAFETY-18's conjunction needs `abs(commanded_w) >= 0.95 * max_w`, but the
emitted command is clipped to the setpoint device's own [dev_min, dev_max]
range as well as to max_w - in clamp_to_rating()'s second stage and again as
the arbiter's `device` P_SAFETY limit claim. Measured on the shipped predicate
at the ticket's numbers, max_w 5000 on a +-4700 W inverter:

    looks_frozen(unchanged_s=3600, commanded_w=4700, max_w=5000)  ->  False

The command is pinned at the hardware's rail, the meter has been frozen for an
hour, and term 2 is unsatisfiable by construction because 4700 < 4750. Any
device rating at or below 0.95 * max_w disarms the conjunction outright, and
the status page then printed `armed (... command is over 4750 W)` - a guard
that cannot fire, advertising that it can, which is the failure SAFETY-15,
SAFETY-19 and validate.py rule 5 all exist to prevent.

The rail is now measured against min(max_w, |dev_min|, |dev_max|), through a
new `rail_ceiling_w()` threaded into looks_frozen(), FreezeWatchdog.evaluate()
and both call sites in main.py. An unread rating leaves the old behaviour
exactly, and correctly: hass.limits() returns None whenever ESPHome is not up,
and on that path no device clamp is applied either, so max_w really is the
ceiling. A rating larger than max_w cannot raise the rail - this is a min(),
not a swap.

THE DELIBERATE CHOICE, since SAFETY-03 has landed. The arithmetic was kept
rather than substituting Decision.i_clamped / Decision.clamped. i_clamped is
the integrator bound (control.py:208, `bounded != i_w`), not "the command is
at the device rating", and `clamped` is the max_w output bound, unreachable on
a default install - neither is the device rail. More decisively, both answer
"did the LOOP ask for more than a bound", while the rail term asks "is the
command standing at the ceiling", and those coincide only when the loop is the
claimer that won. A maintenance SET or a peak-guard floor reaches the ceiling
through arbiter LIMIT claims with no clamp engaging at all, so a boolean rail
would go False exactly during a maintenance phase running against a frozen
meter - which freeze.py's own docstring names as the same fault with a worse
actuator behind it. The predicate is also public with two call sites that pass
DIFFERENT command values (self.target, and `standing` = last_write); a
per-cycle boolean cannot be passed per call site, so substituting it would
have silently decided the pre-clamp-versus-wire question that PM recorded as
still open. AC 1 governs, and it is satisfied literally.

The smaller of the two device bounds, not a per-sign pair. A per-sign rail is
tighter and is not wrong, but it is two rails needing two coverage verdicts on
a status row that carries one number, and the only configuration that
distinguishes them is refused at startup anyway. The symmetric ceiling can only
lower the rail, which widens term 2 rather than disarming it; term 1 carries
the whole no-false-positive argument and is untouched.

A ceiling of 0 W is NOT COVERED, not "armed at 0 W". A device that can command
nothing in one direction would make `abs(command) >= 0` true of every command
including a parked one - term 2 degenerately TRUE, collapsing the conjunction
into the bare unchanged_s > N threshold TEL-05 refused for false-tripping at
this controller's own operating point. rail_unreachable() returns the reason,
looks_frozen() stays silent, and the page uses the NOT COVERED row the
unsupported-transport case already has - a second reason to use that surface,
not a new mechanism.

AC 4, decided rather than assumed: NO NEW validate.py RULE. The configuration
is max_w above the device rating, which rule 2 (CFG-01) already refuses on the
identical predicate, re-run by run_control() once the real rating is known:

    validate_startup_config({... max_w: 5000}, -4700, 4700)
      -> ['max_w is 5000 W but number.sp accepts at most 4700 W - THE DEVICE
          WINS ...']

A rail-specific rule would fire on a strict subset of that (0.95 * max_w >
dev_max implies max_w > dev_max) and could never be the rule that stopped a
start. The residue is the state where hass.limits() answered (None, None) -
ESPHome not up at boot, range checks skipped rather than guessed at, rating
never re-read - and there is nothing to refuse there by construction, which is
why the answer is a runtime row. Recorded in validate.py's "deliberately not
refused" list and pinned by four checks in test_validate.py, so the decision's
premise goes red if rule 2 is ever softened back to a warning.

HOW REACHABLE THIS IS, stated rather than glossed. Because rule 2 refuses the
configuration whenever the rating is known, min(max_w, dev_max) IS max_w on
every install that reaches the control loop with a rating it could read, and
this change is arithmetically dead there. That is clamp.py's argument for its
own second stage word for word: the case where it bites is the case where the
startup gate did not run or no longer holds, and a guard that quietly assumes
the gate ran is a guard that reports armed in exactly the state it cannot fire
in.

Verified by breaking it, per this project's rule. Reverting rail_w() to bare
max_w fails nine checks; deleting the NOT COVERED handling fails five. The one
that mattered: shipping the corrected predicate while NOT passing the rating
from check_meter_frozen() left the entire suite green, because nothing graded
the caller - so test_freeze.py part 5b now drives the real cycle() on a +-4700 W
device and asserts on the notification that leaves the process, and the
unwiring mutation fails three checks there. The peak-guard call site's wiring
is still ungraded (behind p1_enabled, needs a fed averager for `frozen` to have
any observable consequence) and that gap is named in the file rather than
implied.

Full suite: 15/15 in goodwe-addon-ci.

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.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 611d3dbcdf TEST-06 review follow-ups: two notification surfaces, the real ordering boundary, the schema bounds
1. notes_of() could not tell this guard's alarm from anybody else's. It
   selected by SERVICE, so against #12's app/ (which adds
   goodwe_output_clamp) eight assertions went red, AC1's core check among
   them. Blanket id-keying is not the repair and was measured, not
   guessed:

       selector                    vs #12's app/   id renamed
       by service (as committed)     8 red           1 red
       by id alone                   3 red           6 red
       by id or title (shipped)      3 red           1 red

   all_notes_of() is the whole surface; notes_of() is this guard's,
   recognised by the id it should carry OR the title it writes - the `or`
   is what keeps the one assertion whose subject IS the id able to fail on
   its own. The three surface-wide claims stay surface-wide, each with a
   comment naming which surface it is about and why the next guard's
   author must decide rather than narrow them. They are the three that go
   red against #12, which is the correct signal.

2. The ordering comment named the wrong boundary. N3 - moving the call to
   immediately before write_setpoint() - is green and correctly so:
   self.target is assigned two lines earlier, write_setpoint() clamps only
   a local and can skip the write entirely. So the invariant is "after
   `self.target = resolution.target_w`", and the detector grades pre-clamp
   INTENT, not the wire. Corrected in test_freeze.py and in main.py's own
   note above the call (comment-only; I merge second and own the
   conflict). N8 - moving the call above the assignment - is RED 4.

3. The schema range's own bounds are now pinned. int(60,3600) ->
   int(1,86400) survived green: an operator could set meter_freeze_s:
   86400 and the guard is dead with nothing red. Both bounds are
   re-derived rather than restated.

4. find_hwsim() crashed the whole suite on a checkout one level below the
   root (HERE.parents[1] -> IndexError, reproduced at C:/goodwe_controller).
   Guarded. And part 3 now names its transport in the summary: the rig
   hwsim and the stub are not equivalent - the rig path failed 1 run in 3
   - so a green log has to say which one backed it.

Also: the "revived transport re-rails" check is labelled a PRECONDITION
like its sibling; freeze_rows() records that flipping p1_enabled exercises
the row's content and never its gate; and the note about the deleted
assertion is corrected - it was REDUNDANT, not undecidable. The reviewer
falsified it in one line (move the hass.call above `if not fired: return`,
RED 9). "I could not construct a falsifier, therefore it cannot fail" was
exactly the inference this file exists to distrust.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 c34b5a2922 TEST-06: close the three gaps that survived SAFETY-18's suite green
None of the three is a bug in the shipped code. They are gaps in what the
suite could detect, and the next person to touch freeze.py had less
protection than the passing count implied.

1. WHERE check_meter_frozen() runs in cycle(). Moving it to the top left
   the whole file green. Pinned by CONSEQUENCE, not by source order, so a
   refactor that keeps the semantics stays green:
     - the alarm must land on the SAME cycle the command reaches the rail
       (at the top it grades the previous command against this cycle's
       meter and arrives a cycle late);
     - the dead-poll-task composition: poll task dies, stale_input_s is
       crossed, the arbiter commands 0 W, and on THAT cycle the alarm is
       already clear - because the detector ran after the 0 W write.
   wired() now returns a per-cycle trace, which is what makes "on which
   cycle" an observation rather than a hope.

2. The NOT COVERED status row. The old check only asserted that an
   uncovered transport is SILENT, which a page claiming `armed` on a guard
   that cannot run also satisfies. The string is now asserted in both
   directions: the uncovered row must say NOT COVERED, name the
   meter_source and homewizard_local, and warn; the covered row must still
   say armed, or "does not say armed" would be satisfied by deleting the
   armed branch.

3. meter_freeze_s. Pinned in test_validate.py by MAINT-04's regex
   technique (no PyYAML in the image), and in test_freeze.py by its
   consequences: the shipped value drives the replays, must stay inside
   the 900 s billing quarter, and 3600/hold_s must stay inside the shipped
   deadband. A Controller built with the key ABSENT must land on the same
   number, which pins main.py's fallback without touching CFG-03.

All three demonstrated red before being accepted green, and every new
check was mutated to confirm it can fail; one candidate assertion ("no new
notification while parked at 0 W") was DELETED because no mutation could
break it, and replaced by the exact notification count across a revived
transport, which can.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 ffb8ec6373 MAINT-04 review: pin the default divergence with a check, not a comment
validate.py's comment said "if config.yaml's value moves, move this and
main.py's together" and nothing enforced it - a comment where a check
belonged, in a PR that elsewhere proves it knows the difference.

test_validate.py now reads main.py and maintenance.py directly and asserts
the divergence EXACTLY AS IT STANDS: config.yaml/validate.py at 2000,
main.py's two fallbacks and MaintConfig's dataclass default at 2500. It
records the mismatch rather than demanding it be closed, so it passes today
and goes red if either side moves - including when somebody closes it in
main.py, at which point the check and validate.py's block are deleted
together. Nothing in a file another ticket owns is touched.

The consequence is asserted through the real code as well as the literals:
with the key absent the validator accepts, MaintConfig builds 2500 W against
a 2000 W ceiling, and the arbiter resolves it to 0 W as a contradiction -
the bug rule 6 exists to catch, passing rule 6. Production-unreachable (the
Supervisor always supplies every key) but fully reachable from sim/inject.py
and the tests, which is where anyone debugging maintenance works.

Also: a CHANGELOG section for the upgrade path, covering both the case where
the Supervisor re-derives the default and the case where it persisted the
old one, since which applies was not verifiable without probing the live
install. And maintenance.py's timeout comment said 13.5 kWh where everything
else says 13.8 (300 Ah x 51.2 V, DoD 90); SAFETY-18 does not touch that file.

config.yaml shipped max_w 2000 against maintenance_charge_w 2500. The
cheap-window shaping files Claim.limit(hi = -maintenance_charge_w) against
the supervised SAFETY limit's lo = -max_w, so lo > hi - the arbiter's
clause 3, correctly resolved to 0 W and logged as a CONTRADICTION.
Maintenance silently never charged in a cheap window on a default install,
and the only evidence read like a bug in the arbiter rather than like the
two numbers the operator set.

validate_startup_config() now refuses maintenance_charge_w > max_w, the
same shape as CFG-01's sign_disagree_w >= max_w. Equality is reachable
(-max_w is a single valid point) and is not refused. Demonstrated by
starting the add-on on the pre-fix pair: exit 78 and the refusal banner.

maintenance_discharge_w was checked rather than assumed and is NOT the same
case: the drain phase OWNS the actuator (Claim.set at P_MAINTENANCE), so
the ceiling clamps it to +2000 W and the arbiter's explain() names the
clamp every cycle. Loud, and it still moves energy - warned, not refused.

The shipped maintenance rates drop to 2000 so the defaults pass the rule;
max_w was deliberately not raised, because it is the supervised safety
ceiling. test_validate.py now reads config.yaml itself, so a default the
validator refuses cannot ship again.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 9aed43990b SAFETY-02: a loop can be fresh, tracking and inside its rating and still push the wrong way
The stale-input watchdog asks whether the meter is still talking. The saturation
freeze asks whether the inverter can follow. The output clamp asks whether the
number is too big. A loop can pass all three while charging the battery out of
the grid, because the only thing wrong is the sign.

On 2026-08-20 a commercial controller did exactly that four times in one day,
for up to 77 minutes at a stretch, reaching a commanded -14 768 W against a
±5000 W inverter. app/watchdog.py compares the emitted setpoint against the
authoritative P1 figure and, when they oppose each other with both over 300 W
for 180 s continuously, files a failsafe SET claim at P_SAFETY, commands 0 W and
latches there until an operator starts control again.

Validated against that day rather than against an argument: sim/replay_sign.py
in the infra repo drives this module over the committed captures of both
2026-08-20 and the healthy 2026-08-23 and reaches 18 trips on the fault day -
every one inside a window NOTES.md §4.7 accounts for - and 0 on the healthy day.
The four episodes do share one signature: 0.3 / 0.9 / 10.5 / 0.0 % sign
agreement inside them against 92.9 % healthy.

Three decisions the ticket could not make:

- It is DISARMED whenever the grid-following loop is not what is driving. Sign
  agreement is a property of a loop that follows the meter, and a maintenance
  grid charge opposes the meter by design - 2500 W of charge into a house
  drawing 500 W is +3000 W on the meter against a -2500 W command, for hours.
  The gate tests the emitted number, not the winning claim's name, because a
  limit claim can let the loop "win" and still replace its value.
- The trip LATCHES. Commanding 0 W removes the command side of the comparison,
  so the disagreement always clears the moment the trip works.
- sign_disagree_w at or above max_w is refused at startup. The arbiter never
  lets a command exceed max_w, so such a threshold leaves the watchdog incapable
  of firing while the status page still reports it armed.

What it does not catch, said out loud: an inverter that ACTS opposite to its
command moves the meter further the same way, leaving command and meter in
agreement. That is the saturation freeze's job.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 547d796c5d CFG-01 review: widen the rule, refuse the firmware-veto case, fix the stop footgun
Review findings, all confirmed in code before changing anything.

THE RULE DID NOT AUTHORISE ITS OWN BEST REFUSAL. The stated test was
"makes a safety mechanism inoperative, or makes a stated limit untrue",
and a blank setpoint_entity does neither - layer 1 pinning the inverter
at 0 W is the failsafe WORKING, as validate.py's own text admitted. The
real justification is a second, separate category: the add-on is inert
and indistinguishable from healthy. Stated as (a) and (b), with each
refusal tagged, and with both halves explicitly bounded - (a) is not
"any two numbers that could disagree", (b) is not "anything degraded".
Left implicit, the gap is where trivia-creep comes back in.

meter_max_age_s ABOVE THE FIRMWARE'S VETO IS NOW REFUSED. The schema
allows int(5,300); the firmware's threshold is a compile-time
`max_age_s: "30"` and it trips layer 1 at `p1_age_s >= 30`. At 120 the
add-on believes a 119 s reading is fresh and keeps commanding while the
board has already vetoed and is holding at 0 W - healthy meter, running
controller, nothing moving. Structurally identical to the max_w case,
and unlike max_w it is settable on this install, so the headline
behaviour finally has a live demonstration. That firmware file's own
comment says a lower bound on this "belongs in CFG-01, not here".

Only ABOVE is refused: below the veto the add-on gives up first, which
is fail-safe and visible on its own status page. Scoped to P1 being
enabled, because meter_max_age_s governs nothing otherwise.
FIRMWARE_INGEST_VETO_S cannot be imported from a compile-time YAML
substitution, so it carries a note on the single direction in which it
can go stale - and a warning that TEL-06 is editing `ingest_stale`, so a
matching integer may stop meaning a matching rule.

stop= WAS A LIVE FOOTGUN. It defaulted to None, which made a Controller
that cannot stop itself the DEFAULT one. On the late-refusal path that
meant: log the banner, return, and leave the process alive forever with
no control loop and no exit - the exact "inert but looks healthy"
failure this module exists to refuse. Now required and keyword-only, so
the broken shape does not construct; test_p1.py's five call sites pass
an Event.

That whole path had no test and no live demo. It has one now: it drives
run_control() against a device that only reports a narrower range once
the loop starts, and asserts it refuses, signals, returns, and writes
NOTHING - plus the converse, that an agreeing device leads to real
writes. This also covers the max_w composition that cannot be reached
through the Supervisor on the live install.

max_w <= 0 is refused. Schema-blocked in production, but
validate_startup_config() is the simulation suite's entry point too, and
a non-positive max_w inverts the arbiter's supervised bounds into a
contradiction that reads as a safety trip rather than a typo.

Verified live 2026-08-28 (backup goodwe_controller-cfg01r2-1787940076):
meter_max_age_s 120 refused with a message naming 120, 30, and THE
FIRMWARE WINS; no traceback; add-on restored byte-exact and running.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 fc9bd89dca CFG-01: refuse to start on a configuration that cannot be honoured
main.py used to read the setpoint device's own +-5000 W rating, notice a
configured max_w above it, log one WARNING, and run anyway with
write_setpoint() quietly clamping. The operator's stated ceiling was never
the real ceiling and the only evidence had scrolled off the log. specs
§1.5 is explicit that such a config is refused at startup, not survived at
runtime.

validate_startup_config() runs in amain() before the broker, the web
server or any task exists, so a refusal cannot leave half a controller
running behind a UI. It refuses exactly three things, all sharing one
property - continuing makes a safety mechanism inoperative or makes a
stated limit untrue:

  1. max_w outside the setpoint device's own rating.
  2. No setpoint_entity: every write is a no-op, the device rating is
     never read, and the ESP32 heartbeat that holds off the layer-1
     failsafe never happens. It ran, looked healthy, and moved nothing.
  3. A meter_source that can never produce a reading. These were already
     caught, but they only DISABLED ingestion, which leaves grid None
     forever: permanent inputs-missing, 0 W, and a status page
     indistinguishable from a healthy meter nobody has fed yet.

Those last predicates move into p1.validate_meter_options(), which
build_source() also calls - one definition, two callers, not two
competing validators. ha_dsmr with half its entities and mqtt_p1 with a
blank topic gained the check the other two transports already had.

Deliberately not refused, because untidy is not unsafe: integrator_max_w
above max_w (the arbiter still bounds the wire to +-max_w, so the cost is
unwind latency - warned), a missing soc/batt entity (fail-safe and
already a red NOT READY banner), a setpoint entity that has not appeared
on the Core API yet (ESPHome is routinely late; re-checked in
run_control() once the real rating arrives), and a thin meter_poll_s
margin.

A refusal is legible as one: a banner saying in words that this is
configuration and nothing is broken, numbered problems, no traceback, and
exit 78 (EX_CONFIG).

Verified on the live add-on 2026-08-28, not by reading the code: a blank
setpoint_entity and a meter_poll_s equal to meter_max_age_s each stopped
the add-on with the banner and no stack trace.
