The loop's integrator bound counts only on a cycle the loop decided. A battery
another owner set (maintenance, the peak guard, a safety limit) alarms only
when it gives more than saturation_w less than told for saturation_cycles
cycles. At N>=2 the loop is bounded while maintenance holds a battery, so it
does not wind and control comes back one slew step a cycle. The status row
counts episodes, not cycles. Digests re-pinned where behaviour changed on
purpose; DECISIONS/SAFETY-85-no-false-not-keeping-up.md has the list.
