- Cheap hours only fills to the ceiling with or without a forecast, as the
design (section 1) says. Skipping the sun's share cost 0.31 EUR on real
2026 prices (29.72 against P3's 29.41) and saved nothing on the P3 set.
- A forecast reading from before local midnight is stale: until the
integration refreshes, "left today" is still yesterday's 0 and
"tomorrow" is really today.
- Forecast entity ids must be sensor.[a-z0-9_]+ (they go into the
/api/states/<id> path).
- House profile: a stored day that is not a date, or is after today, is
dropped instead of kept forever.
- Text: the forecast line says "for the rest of today"; the learning line
no longer promises "tomorrow" (a plan needs one full day).
- Tests for four surviving review mutants (hour sample floor, the dear run
after the cheap run, share by room, daytime use) and the fixes above.
- Replay tool: `--fc zero` (a forecast of no sun).

A Home Assistant solar forecast (Forecast.Solar, Solcast or Open-Meteo
shapes) and the add-on's own hourly house use decide, before each cheap
run, whether the sun will fill each battery before the expensive hours.
Leftover solar then buys from the grid only the shortfall; Cheap hours only
skips the part the sun covers; Solar first never grid-charges. No, stale or
failed forecast: P3 option A exactly (12 digests pinned from 5a4cdc2).
Replay (16 recorded days, forecast errors from Elia's day-ahead BE solar):
year-earlier prices P4 19.15 vs P2 19.33 / option A 19.44 / old trade 18.14;
real 2026 prices P4 29.19 vs 32.26 / 32.01 / 31.40 EUR net.

Owner decision 2026-09-29. Selling is off until it can be judged on the price
the grid pays: packmode.SELLING_ENABLED = False makes read() answer
sell=False whatever the store holds, pack_sell is refused ("Selling is off
for now."), and the page has no selling switch; the sell code stays. Until
the P4 forecast, only Cheap hours only charges from the grid
(packmode.GRID_CHARGE_MODES); Leftover solar holds and gives in the
expensive runs. Help, Today and plan lines, DOCS and DECISIONS follow.
Replay, 16 days: Solar first + Leftover solar 19.44 EUR net (P2 19.33).

Cheap and expensive hours as runs of consecutive firm price slots
(priceruns.py); each battery's role per tick from its mode (modetrade.py):
grid charging for Leftover solar / Cheap hours only, never Solar first;
holding for the expensive runs; selling per battery (pack_sell) above the
spread and the floor. The site trade is sized inside the modes (loop bound)
and the peak guard's headroom; a run edge reseeds the loop. Cheap hours only
and selling are enabled on the Batteries screen and in the HA select
(appended). The site Why row no longer says "held back" when the peak limit
pushes power up (F2). Modes off: byte-identical to 7a00f12 on the trade path.

Each battery gets an MQTT-discovered Mode select and Use switch, only while
battery_modes_enabled is true. Commands go through handle_action(), the
/action path; refusals are logged once. Retained commands are never applied.
Turning modes off removes exactly the configs announced (kept in the store).
With modes off the announcement is byte-identical to ed739d4.

A battery's mode is a soft unit limit (source `mode`, P_MODE 35) kept
apart from the hard limits in pre_resolve(). The allocator applies it
only while the site target is decided at or below 35 (new
Resolution.deciding_priority), so the peak floor releases it and a mode
`hi` never meets the site `lo`. At N=1 resolve() applies the same rule
to the site target after stage 2. A mode range without 0 W is dropped
as a software fault, so REFUSE_SIGN stays unreachable from a mode.
compute() gets the loop bound (sum over live units of hard limits with
modes applied), so the loop never asks for watts no battery may give
and the saturation freeze never parks on them. While charging, Leftover
solar weighs 0 so Solar first fills first. Store keys pack_use and
pack_mode per battery, set by two new /action values; Off stops and
skips maintenance with a log line. Minimal Batteries cards (EN/NL).
Off by default (battery_modes_enabled); off, commands are byte-identical
to a5dddad at N=1 and N=2 (test_modes.py part 1).
