glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 186e13ceca ALLOC-01: allocate the site grid target, sum-invariant, never broadcast
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 4m6s
ARB-03 left `allocate()` as a documented seam that passed through at N<=1 and
DECLINED at N>=2, with the reasoning recorded at the line: the obvious
placeholder - hand the site target to each inverter - IS the ARCH-01 fault, and
"a placeholder that cannot be told apart from the real thing by any guard we
have is worse than no placeholder". This fills the seam.

WHY A BROADCAST IS A FAULT AND NOT AN INEFFICIENCY. The control primitive is
meter emulation: the master reports a FABRICATED grid reading and the inverter
regulates itself to it, so one number means "the battery moves X W" to this
add-on and "the grid is at X W" to the inverter - an identity that holds only at
N=1. Hand two inverters the same target and each supplies it IN FULL, so the
loop gain at the meter becomes N times the per-unit gain. Reproduced on
admin/goodwe's two-master rig against this tree: -400 W export overshoot at
gain 0.6, and at gain 1.0 - which config.yaml accepts as its documented maximum
- a permanent 4000 W peak-to-peak limit cycle, commands alternating
1000/2000/1000/0 W, with NOT ONE GUARD FIRING. The sign watchdog is evaluated on
every cycle and never trips, because the disagreement flips on alternate ticks
and never holds its 180 s window.

WHAT WAS BUILT. `app/allocator.py`, host-side and strictly above the driver
seam. It consumes intervals and a number and nothing else - no claims, no
priorities, and no measurement, because an allocator that read P1 would be a
SECOND integrator on the site measurement.

  * ENVELOPE CLAMP, from ARB-03 stage 1's `UnitBounds`, read PER TICK. `plan()`
    is a pure function and the module holds no state, so there is nowhere for a
    construction-time envelope to be cached.
  * WATER-FILL by weight, with the surplus of a full unit moving to the others.
    Weights express PREFERENCE, envelopes express PERMISSION: a zero weight is
    honoured while another unit has headroom and overridden when it does not,
    because the SUM is the safety property and stranding capacity behind a
    comfort choice manufactures a standing error at the meter.
  * LARGEST-REMAINDER ROUNDING. The target is rounded ONCE, at the top; every
    sum below that line is integer arithmetic, so it cannot drift. Measured: a
    per-unit round() drifts -125 W over 50 000 ticks at three inverters.
  * THE ALLOCATION RECORD, with `unmet_w`, `dropped` and a per-unit reason.
    `ok` is one boolean for SAFETY-28 to gate on, and `unmet_w` is deliberately
    NOT fused into it - a saturated inverter must not park the whole site.

THE STABILITY PROPERTY IS STRUCTURAL. With sum(a_i) = 1 the gain at the meter is
sum(a_i * g_i), a convex combination of the per-unit gains, so it lies in
[min g_i, max g_i] FOR ANY SPLIT. That is what makes the weights a comfort
choice rather than a tuning parameter, and it is why a bad split cannot
destabilise the site. Graded directly, and measured end to end: 90/10, 50/50 and
100/0 give a bit-identical aggregate trace at the meter, and a gain sweep to 1.0
at every split has a flat tail at all 84 combinations.

THE TWO REFUSALS main.py NOW MAKES, AND WHY THERE ARE TWO. `allocated=False` no
longer means "no allocator"; it means no safe split EXISTS - a mis-routed claim,
an empty envelope set, or a split that could only be made by commanding one pack
to charge while another discharges. Separately, and this guard is the price of
making allocate() succeed rather than something inherited, main.py refuses to
act on a valid split it cannot DELIVER: there is one `setpoint_entity`, so
writing the site target to the one inverter it can reach would over-command that
inverter by exactly the other's share. Commanding a partial site is a worse
instruction than commanding nothing. DEV-02 gives it the second writer.

scope_violations() IS NOW CONSUMED, AND AS A REFUSAL. ARB-03 left it logging
without changing the resolution. A mis-routed claim means the number about to be
divided may itself be wrong, and dividing a number that may be wrong is worse
than not dividing it - the same answer clause 3 already gives a contradiction.
It is NOT promoted into an envelope: a unit-scoped claim that landed on the site
names no unit, so promoting it would mean guessing one, or applying one
inverter's rating to a sibling that does not have it.

AT N<=1 IT IS A PASS-THROUGH, BYTE-IDENTICAL: the share is the site target, as a
float, unrounded and unclamped. All 17 existing suites replay unedited.

test_peakguard.py part 10h and test_arbiter.py part 7 were RE-AIMED, not
deleted. PR #40's reviewer proved that refusal branch was unreachable and
untested once; removing its trigger without giving it a new one would have
rebuilt the hole. Part 10h now drives three real cycles - a deliverable split, a
dead sibling, and every master stale - and grades all three.

KNOWN AND NOT CLOSED HERE: at a roster of two the loop's `actual_w` is one
inverter's power used as a site measurement, because the add-on binds a single
`inverter_power` sensor. That is the SENSING half of the same N=1 identity this
card removes from the COMMANDING half, and it makes the aggregate trace
split-dependent below gain 1.0. Measured with its counterfactual in test_alloc.py
part 8 and tools/alloc_sim.py --splits. It belongs to DEV-02.

Verified: all 18 suites green in the CI image. 16 mutations run through
tools/mutation_run.sh on a purged tree; 13 red, and the 3 survivors are recorded
in test_alloc.py part 12 with the reason each cannot be caught.

Claude b68f288fef TEST-11: pin the clamp guard to the write it reads
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 3m40s
check_output_clamp() sits one line below `await self.write_setpoint(self.target)`
in cycle(), and moving it above the write left test_clamp.py, test_freeze.py and
test_loop.py ALL GREEN. Measured on the move itself before this commit; measured
again after, where test_clamp.py part 6 goes red and the other two are still
green - the gap was real and it was only ever in this file.

WHAT IS ACTUALLY LOST. The guard has two evidence sources. `self.loop_clamped`
is set from the Decision well above the write and survives the move, and on the
10.3 runaway replay it is the source of every engagement the alarm reports (0
write-path engagements against 2 loop-side ones) - which is exactly what makes
the move nearly invisible. `self.clamp_last` is assigned by write_setpoint() and
by nothing else, is None until it has run, and is what `engaged_write` reads at
main.py:856. Moved above the write, that consumer goes quietly false and a
DEVICE-bound clamp - max_w above the inverter's own rating, SAFETY-20's install -
is reported by nothing. A guard whose second evidence source can be silently
disconnected is one refactor from being half a guard.

WHAT THE CHECK PINS, AND WHAT IT DELIBERATELY DOES NOT. Not the position: the
comment at that line warns against tidying SAFETY-03's ordering and SAFETY-18's
into one rule, and a check a rename breaks is worse than none. It pins the
CONSEQUENCE - what `self.clamp_last` held each time the guard consulted the
watchdog - using a spy subclassed from the shipped ClampWatchdog over a
slew-limited ramp where every cycle's command is a different number, so "this
cycle's evidence" and "last cycle's" are distinguishable at all. The spy hooks
`clamp_wd.note()`, the consumer, rather than the guard's name: that is what
keeps a rename legitimate. The same assertions are re-run through a controller
whose guard is renamed and whose write lives in a helper, and were verified
against main.py itself - renaming the method throughout AND moving both calls
into a new `_emit_and_guard()` helper keeps part 6 green; swapping the two calls
turns it red on a line that names clamp_last.

WHY AC 3 NEEDED A NEW STIMULUS, AND WHY IT IS NOT DRIVEN THROUGH cycle().
Through the real cycle() the write-path half cannot engage: the arbiter files
the device range and max_w as P_SAFETY LIMIT claims, so resolution.target_w is
already inside both bounds before write_setpoint() re-applies them. That
duplication is deliberate defence in depth; part 6 now MEASURES the zero
engagements rather than leaving it as a claim in a comment, and then drives the
write path directly at max_w 5000 against a +-2500 W device - the wire carries
2500 W, every loop-side flag stays clean, and the alarm fires on clamp_last
alone. With the two calls swapped the same stimulus clamps the same value and
the alarm is silent, which is the ticket in one pair of runs.

main.py gains one comment sentence naming the check, mirroring the one
SAFETY-18's block already carries for test_freeze.py part 5. No behaviour
changes.

Full suite: 17/17 green 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 4e66583a52 SAFETY-03 review fixes: both clamp stages always run, and two checks that could not fail
1. BEHAVIOURAL, and a regression this PR introduced. clamp_to_rating() returned
early from the max_w stage, so the device bound was applied only when the rating
bound had NOT fired - the bigger the overshoot, the less the guard did. At max_w
5000 against a +-4000 device, +9999 emitted +5000 W, outside the device range,
while +4500 was correctly held to +4000. It undid the pre-PR guarantee "never
send a value the device will reject outright" and undercut this module's own
case for max_w-not-min(), which rests on that stage catching a validation that
did not run. Both stages now always run; the result names both bounds when both
bite (max_w+device). Asserted over a 492-point sweep, because the defect was
invisible to any single-value check sitting inside one stage.

2. The hysteresis check issued range(CLEAR_CYCLES - 1) clean cycles, which at
CLEAR_CYCLES = 1 issues zero, passes, and prints "0 clean cycles do NOT clear
it" - green for the chatter setting the constant exists to prevent. Now: ONE
clean cycle must not clear the alarm, a literal that does not move with the
constant, and the de-assert count is measured by looping until it clears.

3. The re-assert check stimulated at REASSERT_S + 9, green for any value
including 3600 - the hour of silence the module promises not to produce. Now
stated in wall-clock terms: a loop pinned across the 900 s capacity-tariff
quarter must speak at least 5 times and on no more than 20% of cycles. Pinned in
both directions.

Red confirmed for each: the restored early return (3 checks), CLEAR_CYCLES = 1
(1), REASSERT_S = 3600 (1) and REASSERT_S = 0 (3).

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 c040aac4b8 SAFETY-03: alarm when a computed setpoint exceeds the rating, do not just clip it
The clamp was never the missing half. specs.md 10.3 records an unclamped
integrator climbing ~130 W per 4 s past 10 kW and reporting 14 768 W pinned at
the 5 kW rail; clipped silently that is a flat, legal-looking 5000 W hold and
nothing says the loop asked for three times it.

write_setpoint() - the one path every write takes - now clamps to the VALIDATED
max_w and reports whether the raw value differed; check_output_clamp() raises
OUTPUT_CLAMP as a notification, an ERROR, an event row and a red status banner.
Not a trip: the clamped value is written and the loop keeps running.

The rating is max_w and nothing is min()ed at runtime - CFG-01 already refuses a
max_w outside the device range at startup. The device range is applied second as
defence in depth; it cannot bite after a successful validation, so if it ever
does it alarms too and names the bound. No new config key.

Decision grew i_clamped / clamped booleans, and that is the load-bearing part:
`reason` is one string that slew-limiting and the saturation freeze overwrite,
so an alarm keyed on it is silent on exactly the cycles a winding loop produces.
Mutating main.py back onto the string drops the 10.3 replay from 2 engagements
to 0.

Distinct from saturation by construction - no shared reason code, notification
id, status row or counter - and checked in the negative, after first asserting
the saturation freeze really did engage.

Two things found by running it rather than by reading it: a row per engagement
flushed the 40-row event log and evicted SAFETY-18's own METER FROZEN? row (now
coalesced per episode with an exact count), and a naive clamp turns a nan into a
command at the full rating because every comparison against nan is False.

test_clamp.py is new: assert-based, no framework. Six author mutations
reproduced red, including "clamp kept, alarm deleted". Two of the check's own
hypotheses about the freeze/clamp interaction were refused by its sweep and
rewritten to what it measured.
