Claude dev agent 667b8e9145 UX-13 P5: Dutch text, STYLE check, DOCS screenshots, period editor
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 10m45s
infra-pin / fresh (pull_request) Successful in 1s
- app/ui_text/nl.json and app/uitext.py: every page word in Dutch, English
  fallback per key; the page picks by browser language. Home's sentences
  move into ui_text `home_words`, so /status?lang=nl builds them in Dutch.
- test_ui_text.py: EN/NL key and placeholder parity, STYLE limits, jargon
  lists for both languages, no inline details, untranslated Dutch caught.
  Shared rules moved unchanged to tools/style_rules.py.
- tools/ux13_screenshots.sh/.py: DOCS screenshots from the demo fixtures in
  headless Chromium; docs/img/ux13/. Battery modes (P3): no screenshot.
- "Other time windows": a list editor (ui.periods) that builds
  static_profile and names bad times, empty prices, overlaps and gaps.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 159d7461d8 UX-15: setup-only mode, and the wizard fixes F1, F2, meter, step 1
A new install names no inverter. When that is the startup gate's only
refusal, the add-on now serves the setup wizard in setup-only mode instead
of exiting 78. It builds no controller, MQTT client or meter task, its
HomeAssistant is read-only (every service call refuses before sending),
Controller refuses a read-only HomeAssistant, and /action answers 409.
Any other refusal still exits 78. DECISIONS/UX-15-setup-only-mode.md.

Wizard fixes from the UX-13 P4 test:
- F1: /config/validate converts what it can, so a conversion error blocks
  its own step and the live checks still run; save 422 carries steps.
- F2: saves send the model the page opened (base); only keys this page
  changed are written onto the blob stored now.
- A meter entity missing from Home Assistant is red on the last step.
- Step 1 says the reading went down after a skip that followed a fall.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5.5 06aa09e28c SAFETY-73 review: a refusal needs 22 s of evidence, and the cut-out warning is for giving only
infra-pin / fresh (pull_request) Successful in 1s
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 10m11s
- REFUSED_SPAN_S: the 12 cycles of evidence must also span (SETTLE_CYCLES-1) *
  LOOP_TICK_S = 22 s. At a 1 s meter, lagged healthy readings refused both
  units 10-16 times an hour after load steps (site held 0 W). 2 s and slower
  ticks are unchanged.
- REFUSES_ABOVE_CUT_OUT only for a refusal to give power: a full battery that
  stops taking charge is always above its cut-out level.
- test_delivery: its wedged fixture (0.2 s cycles) no longer reaches a refusal;
  the release/1.0 checks are restored and a span check added.
- test_refusal_units: lagged-reading and full-battery plants, two new checks,
  U14/U15 in the mutation table. Stale "> 500 W" wording fixed. DOCS/DECISIONS.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5.5 016ed5a5a3 SAFETY-73: a battery that refuses, per inverter, with two or more
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 10m1s
infra-pin / fresh (pull_request) Successful in 1s
SAFETY-52's hold applied per unit at N>1 (owner, 2026-09-27, option R).
A unit that gives < 100 W for 12 cycles in one direction while asked
> 200 W, or trips its stale-reading gate on a ~0 W reading, gets a
P_SAFETY `refused` unit limit closing that direction, so the allocator
hands its share to the others within their own limits. Probe: a +-200 W
pin every 15 min, one unit at a time, only while the site asks 200 W that
way. All units refusing: the site law holds 0 W. Exits reseed the site
target from the wire. INFO plus one WARNING (REFUSES_ABOVE_CUT_OUT) above
the configured cut-out; SAFETY-42/43 no longer report a refusing unit.
N=1 unchanged.

test_refusal_units.py: cases a/b/c on flat and jitter registers against
the old behaviour, probes, recovery, exits; mutations U1-U13 all red.
TEST-19 no-fault campaign: 0 engagements in 5280 runs.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 3c0f2b9669 SAFETY-52 review: a refusal is under 100 W, and any delivery ends it
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 9m22s
infra-pin / fresh (pull_request) Successful in 1s
- Engage (and seed from a stale stop) below REFUSED_BELOW_W, the probe's
  own 100 W answer, not below saturation_w: a battery derated to 100-499 W
  was held at 0 W ~93 % of the time.
- A reading of 100 W or more in the held direction ends the refusal, probe
  or not: at a 1 s meter SETTLE_CYCLES is 12 s, shorter than a healthy
  reading's lag, and that held a healthy step at 0 W until the next probe.
- test_refusal part 5b and a seed test; DOCS states the N>1 limit; the
  DECISIONS record carries the traced cause of the replay's extra trips.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5.5 1f97c7652f SAFETY-52: a battery that refuses is asked for 0 W, with a 200 W probe every 15 min
infra-pin / fresh (pull_request) Successful in 1s
checks / unit (pull_request) Failing after 9m32s
At the BMS cut-out the saturation freeze held the last request for hours
(+5000 W for 11.87 h on 09-06, +1940 W for 3 h 55 m on 09-19) until the grid
error changed sign. compute() now carries a refused direction: after
SETTLE_CYCLES of a ~0 W reading against a larger ask it holds that direction
at 0 W, probes 200 W (below the gate's 250 W) every 15 minutes, and lets go
on charge, an answered probe, stop/start or another writer. A stale-reading
trip on a frozen ~0 W reading seeds the same hold, which ends SAFETY-59's
~70 s cycle. One inverter only; no SoC in the loop (SAFETY-25 Option A).

test_refusal.py drives the real Controller and gate; tools/replay_refusal.py
replays the 16-day capture. test_clamp.py and test_delivery.py re-baselined
where they asserted the old hold. DECISIONS/SAFETY-52 has the record and what
SAFETY-58/59 must take into account.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 3c298af3d8 UX-11 review: restored stops log their figures to events, the quiet-meter WARNING is rate-limited
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 9m7s
infra-pin / fresh (pull_request) Successful in 1s
- After a restart, each restored stop (direction per inverter and site,
  delivery, circulation) also writes its saved reason to the action log.
  log_level defaults to info and events starts empty, so the DEBUG
  evidence alone left the figures only in state.json.
- A flapping meter (ha_signed under a flat load, 42-97 s between changes)
  logs at most one WARNING/INFO pair per 10 minutes, with the episodes in
  between at DEBUG.
- LONG_LINE_OK refuses any key whose text is a safety reason.
- test_watchdog keeps the byte pin beside the meaning pin, since the text
  did not change.
- DOCS says the DEBUG line needs log_level debug.

TEST-23 showed 'No meter reading for 30 seconds, over the limit of 30

always true at the moment the line is logged.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5.5 29837dfaa7 UX-11: safety log lines give one plain sentence and the code, the figures go to DEBUG
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 9m3s
infra-pin / fresh (pull_request) Successful in 2s
- Every WARNING/ERROR line that reported a safety reason (direction, delivery,
  stuck meter, stale reading, peak guard, circulation, over-rating) now ends in
  the reason's code (messages.reason_code()). The reason itself, figures and
  limits included, is on a DEBUG line right after it and in the action log.
- The reasons and state.json are unchanged, so an old state file loads and
  shows the same way: every saved reason opens with its code.
- test_messages part 6 checks every WARNING+ line at 25 words as logged; nine
  non-safety families are listed with a reason and capped. The byte pin in
  test_watchdog now pins the meaning, in order.
- The meter logs one WARNING per quiet episode, and INFO when back, so the red
  row's "the add-on log shows why" holds. The Why line past the hold names
  the missing reading. Action log: "25 engagements", "Shadow mode off: ...".

No trigger, latch, threshold, log level, notification id, cadence, row colour
or banner order changed.

checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 9m3s
infra-pin / fresh (pull_request) Successful in 2s
Part 6 checked the quoted reason alone, so title + reason + tails logged
as 4+ sentences. It now also checks the whole line (at most 3 sentences,
none over 30 words); 25 lines failed and are rewritten (one-sentence
wrappers, two-sentence circulation and peak reasons, STALE_READING's
fixed limits on a DEBUG line). The clamp lines for one inverter are
pinned at 30 words with OUTPUT_CLAMP and the numbers kept. Home
Assistant's bare '400: Bad Request' while it loads becomes one plain
line; still WARNING, throttled, a failed write.

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.

Claude review 569f16aa91 UX-08 2d review: action log reachable in status JSON, engaged peak row pinned, imported keys expanded
infra-pin / fresh (pull_request) Successful in 1s
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 8m54s
- status_payload() also returns the action log as `events`. The page
  does not render it. Some entries (a dropped inverter's reason, the peak
  guard's projection, unplaced watts) are written nowhere else, and DOCS
  still points installers at the action log.
- test_peakguard pins the engaged row's ordered pair (the battery's share,
  then the limit).
- test_messages expands setting keys named by constants imported from
  another app module, so the shown-text 30-word scan counts them.
- p1.py: 'A meter message could not be read'. DOCS glossary: control
  board in plain words, with the hardware in an installer note.

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.

The Supervisor questions for the Details link are asked together with a

  the peak alarm no longer says the battery is giving all it can.
- "controller" -> "the add-on" / "control". Settings named by their labels;
  four labels changed to match (Peak reserve, Battery level entity, Solar

checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 8m47s
infra-pin / fresh (pull_request) Failing after 1s
Every Commissioning row and every page banner is now worded in
app/messages.py (row_*, banner_*): one sentence of at most 15 words, a red
row up to three sentences so a latch still says how it clears, banners at
most 12 words. No row names a Home Assistant entity: sensors by their
setting, solar sources by their place in the list. Reason codes and limits
stay on the log line and event list; rows keep the numbers a reader acts on.

UX-07 item 1: ClampWatchdog counts over-rating and integrator-bound
engagements separately, and after an episode each count shows under its own
alarm's title instead of both under "output clamp".

No row colour, visibility or banner order changed. Rows carry an "id" so the
tests pin meaning rather than wording. The row and banner kinds leave the
allowlist (200 -> 168, cap equal). DOCS.md gains "Status page"; choices are in
DECISIONS/UX-08-short-notifications.md.

- not delivering: the body said control keeps running and then "start

- no semicolon run-ons in bodies (STYLE.md + test); loop-bound, circulating,

- allowlist cap is now exact, so a shrink cannot leave room to regrow.

checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 8m54s
infra-pin / fresh (pull_request) Successful in 1s
Every HA notification the add-on raises now has a title of at most 5

action is lost. The texts live in app/messages.py, the rule in STYLE.md,
and the detail that moved out in DOCS.md "Notifications", which each body
links to. No notification_id, trigger or cadence changed.

test_messages.py enforces the rule on every notification, fails any
notification worded outside app/messages.py, and ratchets the kinds not yet
rewritten (rows, banners, refusals, logs, options) through a shrinking
allowlist of 200. Six tests re-pinned from prose to meaning.

The clamp alarm gave `i_clamped` (normal anti-windup) the over-rating BUG

- clamp.loop_clamp_note(): i_clamped says "the loop's integrator reached its
  N W anti-windup bound" with this tick's command; clamped keeps BUG SIGNAL
  with the requested command and the clamp's own result.
- Decision carries i_bound_w / requested_w / clamped_w, set at the clamp.
- i_clamped still counts and notifies (same id, cadence, SAFETY-41

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5.5 7559d21eda TEL-14: PV sign declared per entity (pv_invert_entities)
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 8m39s
Some PV entities (kWh meters, ESPHome clamps in the PV circuit) read positive
for consumption and negative for production. `pv_invert_entities` lists the
ones to flip; the flip is applied per member inside pv.total(), before the sum,
so the MQTT `pv` row and the status page carry the corrected figure. Default []
is byte-identical to 0.12.0.

Shape measured in supervisor_shape_probe.py section H (Supervisor 2026.08.0):
a parallel list validates the 0.12.0 blob unchanged and renders as its own
translated repeatable field; dicts on pv_entities refuse 0.12.0's stored
strings; a prefix is invisible syntax; a global bool cannot describe a mixed
roster. Status page marks flipped entities and cautions per entity below
-50 W, saying ADD or REMOVE. Telemetry only: control documents unchanged.

Record: DECISIONS/TEL-14-pv-sign.md (reverses TEL-11 section 2).

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5.5 71d2d4a37a SAFETY-61: the control task's death ends the process, after the wind-down
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 8m22s
A done-callback on run_control()'s task logs the traceback at the death and
sets `stop`; amain() runs the ordinary wind-down (shutdown() ->
command_site_zero()) and main() exits 70 (EX_SOFTWARE). Normal stops and
run_control()'s refusal path are ignored by the callback (still 0 / 78).

hass.py: a malformed JSON body, a JSON non-object, and an undecodable error
body are an absence / a failed write, not an exception into the loop.

checks() gains a first "control loop" row, red past FIRMWARE_INGEST_VETO_S.

Why exit rather than restart in-process, and what the Supervisor actually
does on exit (restarts only with the per-install Watchdog toggle on, default
off): DECISIONS/SAFETY-61-control-task-death.md.

adminandClaude Opus 5 0ef9565071 TEL-12: several PV inverters, and one absent member is an absent TOTAL
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 7m59s
0.11.0 shipped `pv_entity` as a single string. The reference site's owner
reported within minutes of it going live that they have several PV inverters
and could configure one - which is ordinary for a multi-string roof, not a
property of one house. `pv_entities` is the roster and the row carries the
SITE total.

⚠️ THE HARD PART IS ABSENCE, NOT THE LIST. Three configured, one `unavailable`,
and the sum of the other two is a SMALLER NUMBER INDISTINGUISHABLE FROM A REAL
ONE. Read back by OPT-10 that says "there was less PV than there was" - the "no
irradiance" conclusion the channel exists to TEST. So `pv.total()` answers
`None` the moment any configured entity is absent: the topic carries HA's own
`None`, the entity goes to `unknown`, the recorder records a GAP. The
alternative (the partial sum beside a contributor count) was implemented and
run as mutation N1b; it loses because the MQTT row is read COLD a week later by
an attribution that would believe it, while the qualifying count would live in a
second entity with its own history. The partial information is not thrown away -
the STATUS PAGE names every entity that reported, with its watts, and every one
that did not, with its reason, because that surface is read LIVE by a human who
wants the diagnostic.

⚠️ AND THE MIRROR: a member honestly reporting 0 W is SUMMED. The test is
`is None`, never falsiness - a roster that blanked the site on a zero would
report an absence on every clear evening.

THE SURFACE IS MEASURED, NOT PREFERRED. `pv_entity` could not become a list:
tools/supervisor_shape_probe.py §G shows Supervisor 2026.08.0 answering an
0.11.0 install's stored string with `Invalid list for option 'pv_entity'`, and
deepmerge's list strategy is `override` so a `[]` default does not rescue it -
the live add-on would not start. `match(.*)?` does accept both shapes and is
rejected for a different, measured reason: it validates nothing (a string, a
list and the integer 417 all pass) and renders as a plain text box. So
`pv_entities` joins `pv_entity` and REPLACES it when set, CFG-04's rule for
`inverters:`, with a status caution saying which key won - a union would
double-count the inverter the old key still names.

STILL NOT A CONTROL INPUT. tools/tel11_pv_trace.py was extended rather than
replaced and now grades five claims over three document sets. The control hash
is UNMOVED - 846a10a5b89e… on `unset` and on `one`, on both trees - and the
roster control document is byte-identical between the two trees. 2/5 is a claim
TEL-11 could not make: with 0.11.0 as the baseline, "one entity behaves exactly
as 0.11.0 does" is a real cross-tree identity over control AND telemetry.

⚠️ TEL-11's OWN `--compare` REFUSAL HAD TO CHANGE, and that is MUTATION.md habit
24: a discriminator defined as "the baseline lacks this feature" dies on the
release that ships the feature, and dies as a false refusal.

Twelve mutations, each on a fresh purged `cp -a`, no survivors. N5 is +0 B
(`sum` -> `max`, the same three characters) and was run on a fresh copy with
`cmp` confirming the edit on disk. The fixture is three distinct NON-ZERO
contributions in two units with absence driven at EVERY position - a member
contributing 0 W could go absent without moving the sum of the rest, which is
habit 23 with a coinciding value in the arithmetic rather than in the plant.

31/31 in the CI image. Not deployable as merged: config.yaml stays at 0.11.0,
so predeploy_check.py reports a NO-OP until PKG cuts a version. A CHANGELOG
entry is wanted and deliberately not written - 11b forbids `## Unreleased` and
the bump is PKG's call; DECISIONS/TEL-12-several-pv-inverters.md is the
material it needs.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 07ba3433ed TEL-11: PV production stops being invisible, and stays out of the control law
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 8m6s
OPT-10 measured that this site's pack reaches 90 % SoC on 2 days of 16 and that
20.5 kWh of surplus left the site while the pack had room - 12.6 kWh of it with
the battery not charging at all - and could not say WHY, because PV production
is recorded NOWHERE. Three causes need three different fixes (no irradiance:
nothing to fix; a charge-power limit; the optimiser declining to charge, which
is the only software defect) and guessing between them is how an optimiser gets
tuned to solve a cloud problem. This card adds the channel. It does not do the
attribution.

AN HA ENTITY, NOT A REGISTER, AND THAT IS A PRODUCT DECISION. This add-on's
RS485 bus carries the BATTERY inverter it drives; a household's PV inverter is
normally a different box from a different vendor reporting into Home Assistant
through its own integration. `pv_entity` takes whatever `sensor.*` the site's
own PV integration provides, any brand HA can read.

POSITIVE IS PRODUCTION, AND THERE IS NO `pv_invert`. The convention is derived
rather than assumed: `meter_entity` is positive when IMPORTING and `batt_entity`
is positive when DISCHARGING (DOCS.md, Sources), both of which are "power
arriving at the house's AC bus", and production arrives there too. Those two
keys carry invert flags because they are BIPOLAR and are READ BY THE CONTROL
PATH - `inv.batt` feeds SAFETY-30's per-unit sign check and SAFETY-31's
circulating-power sensor, so a reversed sensor hands the site a plausible number
it acts on. Production is unipolar and is read by nothing: a reversed sensor
announces itself as -4 kW at noon in the very history this card creates, and a
flag would only let an installer hide it. No negative-value alarm either - a PV
inverter's own standby draw makes a small negative reading at night ordinary, so
any threshold would be a number nobody measured.

ABSENCE IS NEVER ZERO, AND "DROPPED" IS NOT ABSENT. `publish()` SKIPS a None,
which is right for `circulation` and exactly wrong here: a skipped row leaves
Home Assistant holding the last number forever and the recorder draws a FLAT
LINE through the outage, which is indistinguishable from a measurement and
manufactures the "there was no surplus" conclusion this card exists to TEST. So
the absence is published, with HA's own payload: `mqtt/const.py` declares
`PAYLOAD_NONE = "None"` and `mqtt/sensor.py` tests it BEFORE the numeric branch,
so the entity's state becomes `unknown` and the recorder stores a GAP. Read out
of home-assistant/core `dev` on 2026-09-24 and quoted at the constant.
`ABSENT_AS_UNKNOWN` is a one-key set and the suite asserts `circulation: None`
is STILL dropped.

THE UNIT IS READ OFF THE ENTITY. `mW`, `W`, `kW`, `MW`, `GW`, `TW` - HA's own
`UnitOfPower`, every factor an exact power of ten. A sensor with no unit, or a
unit outside that table, is REFUSED by name and the status page says which.
`read_inputs()`'s `abs(raw) < 50` kW-or-W guess is safe for a quarter-hour
demand forecast and is NOT safe here: 30 W of dusk is an ordinary reading and
that heuristic would publish it as 30 kW.

GENUINELY OPTIONAL, AND NOT A SECOND `price_now_entity`. validate.py does not
mention the key - it cannot conflict with anything, because nothing else reads
it. The MQTT row lives in a new `OPTIONAL_SENSORS` list whose `include` argument
DEFAULTS TO EMPTY, so every caller that has never heard of `pv_entity` -
test_mqtt.py's fixtures, tools/rehearse_roster.py, anything written next year -
announces exactly what it announced before. Unset: no state call at all, no
entity, no topic, no status row, no page row. Set and failing: a CAUTION
(`ok=False, warn=True`), never a `bad` row, so a telemetry channel can never put
a battery site into NOT READY.

IT MUST NOT BECOME A CONTROL INPUT, AND THAT IS GRADED TWICE. `test_pv.py`
part 6 drives 40 cycles of the real `cycle()` and asserts the commands are
bit-identical across unset / no reading / 0 W / 8 kW, with a COMPUTED census
(33 modules under app/) showing the material is mentioned in exactly three:
pv.py, main.py, mqtt.py. `tools/tel11_pv_trace.py` is the cross-tree half -
`safety56_behaviour_trace.py`'s pattern with a DIFFERENT control clause, because
this card's claim is that nothing differs rather than that only sentences do: it
REFUSES unless the two `app/` fingerprints differ and unless exactly one side
reacts to the option. Measured on 41 stimulus cells:

    control   release/1.0 unset  846a10a5b89e321086d535825925721e2f791012e8405948d4fd38d3f9d0be5f

    control   TEL-11      set    846a10a5b89e321086d535825925721e2f791012e8405948d4fd38d3f9d0be5f
    telemetry release/1.0 unset  a443a6ceaffe072b44bcd5f2ad946c1ed6c9e01b69e278eca631f7f4d7892164
    telemetry TEL-11      unset  a443a6ceaffe072b44bcd5f2ad946c1ed6c9e01b69e278eca631f7f4d7892164

UNSET is byte-identical in BOTH documents, which is stronger than "the control
path is untouched": an install that does not set the option sees no change of
any kind, announcement and status rows included.

⚠️ AND THE CARD'S CENTRAL MUTATION WAS A SURVIVOR ON THE FIRST BATTERY.
`self.grid -= self.pv_w` in `read_inputs()` - +106 B, on disk, purged, genuinely
running - came back GREEN, because the fixture drove a 6 kW export over 12
cycles, which puts the loop AGAINST ITS RAIL: a command moving `slew_w` every
cycle produces the same ramp for -6000 W and for -14 000 W of apparent error.
MUTATION.md habit 23 with a saturated ACTUATOR in place of a coinciding value,
and it is in that file now as the habit's second instance. The fixture now
drives a 600 W import the loop SETTLES on, against a responsive meter, and asks
habit 23's own question as its own check: shift the METER by the same 8 kW and
confirm the commands really would have moved.

Evidence: 31/31 suites green in the CI image, checks.yml's exact command, purged
tree, `:ro`. Ten mutations, NO survivors, each on its own `cp -a` of the tree so
habit 18's revert hazard is closed by construction - table in
`DECISIONS/TEL-11-pv-production.md` §7 with byte deltas and sha256s.

⚠️ THIS IS A RUNTIME CHANGE BEHIND AN UNCHANGED VERSION, AND
`tools/predeploy_check.py` WILL REFUSE IT. `app/`, `config.yaml` and
`translations/` are all in its `RUNTIME` tuple and `config.yaml` still reads
0.10.1, so the gate reports a NO-OP deploy until a version is cut. That is PKG's
call and this card does not take it.

No CHANGELOG section: `test_version_gate.py` 11b refuses a newest `## ` heading
that is not config.yaml's `version:`, and opening one would mean taking that
same packaging decision. The operator account is in DOCS.md.

adminandClaude Opus 5 8a6acd9fa2 SAFETY-56: the gate cannot tell a dead register from a pack that cannot comply, so stop saying it can
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 8m0s
Text only. No behaviour change - same conjunction, same limits, same MISSING,
same 0 W, same NOT READY. `tools/safety56_behaviour_trace.py` says so: 2390
capture reads, a 66-cell swept grid, and six driven controller worlds produce
the byte-identical document `6030175e...` on origin/release/1.0 and on this
branch, while the sentences differ.

THE DEFECT. SAFETY-37's conjunction is satisfied by two disjoint worlds - the
register has stopped reporting reality, or the SOURCE cannot comply with the
command - and nothing `freshness.py` is handed separates them. Three sentences
asserted the first. On the live 2026-09-21 episode it was the second: the pack
read 11 % for the whole 850 s hold, every command in that hold was a discharge,
and the register answered the first CHARGE command three seconds later. The
readiness row was worse still, because it asserted a false fact about a NAMED
entity that was present, numeric and updating - so the operator opened
Developer Tools, found it working, and had every reason to conclude the
diagnostics were broken.

THE FIX. Each message states what was OBSERVED and names BOTH explanations.
Three wordings, no shared helper: two are a log line about a behaviour, the
third is a banner about an entity, and a helper serving both would drop
whichever half the other caller does not need. SoC stays STATED, NOT WIRED -
part 11b drives the two worlds at 50 % and 11 % and the sentence does not move
one byte. The row does not branch on `batt_fresh.stale` either: `stale_note()`
already rides `liveness_notes()` a few rows below, so the discriminator is "is
that row there?", and part 11d asserts it is present in one world and absent in
the other.

THE CHECKS. test_freshness.py part 11 builds the pair of worlds with ground
truth written down rather than derived from the published stream, asserts they
are really two (40 of 40 reads differ) while the published stream is
bit-identical, and only then grades the sentences. Eleven mutations, all red:
each of the three sentences reverted (3, 2 and 2 named reds), the two
explanations transposed at ZERO bytes (1), the second explanation deleted (1),
the admission of ambiguity replaced by a ranking (1), all three reverted at
once (5), and two aimed at this card's own check - collapsing the world pair
(2) and emptying the accusation list, which a positive control against the
three sentences as 0.10.1 shipped them catches (1).

AND TWO OF THE ELEVEN FOUND DEFECTS IN THE CHECK RATHER THAN IN THE CODE.
Transposing `label` and `entity` in the row made it unfindable and the run died
on an IndexError - a red with no name and every later check ungraded, FCST-06's
shape exactly; `_s56_row()` returns a named absence now, 0 named reds before, 3
after. And the first invariance run compared a tree with itself, because it
archived a branch whose edits were not committed yet; the tool now REFUSES to
report "behaviour unchanged" unless the sentences halves differ, and both of
its refusals are driven.

SAFETY-57's part 10h check was the handoff and is inverted rather than deleted:
it required the accusation to still be present so that removing it had to be a
deliberate act. This is that act. Its escape clause is untouched.

Suite: 30/30 in the CI image, checks.yml's exact command, purged tree, :ro.

adminandClaude Opus 5 43c144b8d9 SAFETY-57: the stale-reading verdict gets an exit, because its own consequence is what stopped it being tested
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 7m58s
SAFETY-37's freshness gate reports a battery-power register as MISSING when it
stops following its own command, and a missing input is "command 0 W and keep
commanding" (§11.1 rule 1). The gate's only exit was "an arrival carrying a
DIFFERENT number" - and at 0 W nothing is asking the register to be anywhere.
The state had no exit reachable from inside it, and the log line promised the
opposite in the same sentence that announced the 0 W.

REPRODUCED FROM THE WIRE, NOT MODELLED. scenarios/safety57-2026-09-21/ is 3840
verbatim frames off the RS-485 pair, read from the passive sniffer, decoded by
tools/decode_bus_capture.py (0 unparsed, 0 bad CRC, 0 unknown shapes; the
mode->sign convention is graded off the capture, not trusted). The box was
running 0.10.0, so the 0 W in the trace IS the add-on's own claim:

  10:51:24.7  0x0518 reaches -3 W. Pack at 11 %, the BMS refuses the discharge,
              the inverter idles. THE REGISTER IS HEALTHY AND TRUTHFUL.
  10:51:29.7  the command reaches +1060 W - 800 W of travel
  10:52:00    the conjunction arms. Inverter.batt becomes None
  10:52:21.7  the site commands 0 W, on the wire
  ...         0x0518 does not change value for 850.0 s. The setpoint does not
              change value for 790.0 s. The house exports 2.4 kW throughout
  ~11:04      a human restarts the add-on. That is what ends it

AND IT HAD BEEN ESCAPING BY LUCK. Replaying the committed 16-day loop capture
through the shipped conjunction finds 93 trips whose wait for the BMS
keep-alive pulse that cleared them has a median of 143.4 s, a worst case of
21440.1 s, and 17 of 93 at or beyond this episode's 710 s. That distribution
belongs to the battery's firmware, not to this code.

THE CARD'S OPTION 2 ALREADY HELD AND IS NOT THE BUG. _grade() has required
|standing| >= MOVE_W since SAFETY-37. The trip was at +1060 W and the stuck
state is at 0 W; they are different moments, and an entry-side rule cannot
reach a state entered legitimately and then persisted. Nothing in the
conjunction is weakened here.

THE RULE, SAFETY-13's SHAPE ONE MODULE OVER - which latches get an exit, not
how long the block lasts:

  the verdict is withdrawn when the obligation that produced it has been gone
  for RELEASE_S, and the register is then re-graded from scratch.

RELEASE_S is BATT_OBLIGED_S, 17.0 s - the obligation window already derived in
the file (6.0 plant + 10.0 publish + 1.0 read), taken at the FLOOR of its band
for the mirror of MOVE_W's reason. Which half is safe is the opposite of
SAFETY-13's: being wrong long is the failure being fixed, being wrong short
costs one bounded re-grading window. Below 17 s the release pre-empts the
cheaper exit - the register answering by itself - and that is graded
behaviourally, not asserted.

The whole parked interval is now stale_input_s + RELEASE_S = 32 s. On the live
episode: telemetry back at 10:52:39 instead of 11:05:35, with 0x0518 still
answering the same -3 W. RED BEFORE (release_s=inf, a graded counterfactual and
not a second implementation), GREEN AFTER.

WHAT IT COSTS, AND IT IS NOT SMALL. A register dead for good is re-graded for
ever: over 1201 reads the held number reaches a consumer on 630 (52.5 %)
against 35 (2.9 %) before. Payable only because one window is at most 35 s and
the two consumers hold for 75 s and 85 s, so neither can reach a verdict inside
one and the re-trip clears both windows. No detection SAFETY-37 had is given
back - a permanent None clears the same windows for ever too - and the command
is derived from the P1 meter, never from batt.

Two clocks, deliberately: changed_mono/unchanged_s() stay facts about the
REGISTER, graded_from/graded_s() are the VERDICT's window. Collapsing them
either lies to the operator or defeats the re-grading.

main.py's stale line had its ESCAPE CLAUSE corrected - it promised a clearance
the state could not produce - and gained a STALE WITHDRAWN edge that says in
its own words that nothing has been learned about the register. The DIAGNOSIS
half is SAFETY-56's and is deliberately untouched, with a named check asserting
it is still there so that rewrite has to be deliberate.

Battery: 22 mutations, 21 red, 1 argued equivalent, 0 unexplained survivors.
Two findings kept in DECISIONS: _release()'s move_w test swapped for
unchanged_s SURVIVED at +5 B because every fixture rested at exactly 0 W (habit
11, closed by a 0/100/300 W fixture); and the code shipped a habit-22 comment
claiming the _release/_grade order was load-bearing, which the battery
falsified - the two act on mutually exclusive predicates, so the order is not
observable. MUTATION.md gains habit 23 for a mutation that ran, fingerprinted
clean, and was a no-op on the fixture because `0.0 or x` is x.

Suite: 30/30 in the CI image, checks.yml's exact command, purged tree, :ro, one
file at a time.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 b548525d10 TEL-10: the loop's integrator stops being invisible
`self.i_w` has been a separate quantity from the command since SAFETY-04 and
has left the process nowhere at all - no entity, no MQTT attribute, no log
line. The investigation behind SAFETY-48 could only RECONSTRUCT it from the
grid trace plus a replay; the reconstruction reproduced about a third of the
engagements it was checked against and was discarded, so the card it was
gathered for had to be argued from a measurement nobody could stand behind.
It could not have been made to work either: `i_w` depends on every cycle
before it, including the ones where the arbiter overrode the loop and
`main.py` re-seeded `self.i_w = self.target`, and that re-seed is invisible in
the grid trace.

THREE SITE ROWS, APPENDED AFTER release/1.0's EIGHT. `loop_i` is
`Decision.i_w` - the accumulator after the cycle, before the output clamp, the
slew limit and quantisation. `loop_lead` is `decision.i_w - prev_w` against the
command `compute()` was HANDED, which is not a subtraction of the other two
published rows: `Setpoint` is the arbiter's output and is this cycle's, so on
any cycle the arbiter overrode the loop the two differ - and that is exactly
the cycle on which the integrator was re-seeded. `loop_reason` is
`compute()`'s own word; the arbiter's `explain()` prints the winning claim's
NAME and has never carried the claim's reason, so `slew-limited` appears in
neither the `Why` row nor `Controller status`. Measured on the same cycle:
arbiter `'loop -> -5000 W'`, loop `'i-clamped'`.

NOTHING IN THE CONTROL PATH MOVED. `app/control.py` is not in this diff.
`compute()`, its returned `Decision` and every constant it reads are identical
to release/1.0, and all nine of release/1.0's retained discovery messages are
byte-identical and still FIRST in the announcement.

Evidence: 30/30 suites green in the CI image. Nine mutations, ONE survivor,
reported as one: `decision.i_w - self.target` for the lead is +2 B and green
because `cycle()` has not reassigned `self.target` at that line - the name is
kept for the coupling, not for a behaviour it buys, and M2b (+8 B) is the
mutation that does change the value and is red.

AND TWO OF THIS CARD'S OWN CHECKS COULD NOT REACH THE FAILURE THEY NAMED.
"the published integrator reaches its bound" was GREEN under the card's named
mutation (publish `prev_w`, -3 B), because the command reaches the bound too -
twelve cycles later. It asserts the LEAD TIME now and is red on 5. "a stopped
controller publishes not-running" was GREEN under deleting that branch's
assignments (-45 B, -67 B), because the fixture STARTED stopped and `__init__`
writes the same values; it stops the controller part-way through a run that
has already wound the integrator to -5000 W. Both are MUTATION.md habit 4,
found by the battery rather than by review.

No CHANGELOG section: `test_version_gate.py` 11b refuses a newest `## `
heading that is not config.yaml's `version:`, and opening one would mean
taking a packaging decision this card does not get to take. The operator
account is in DOCS.md and the release note belongs to the next PKG ticket.

Not a leak and not a write-path defect. Shadow mode's safety is intact -
the substitution, the re-seed, the authorisation gate and the clamp are
untouched. What was wrong is what three merged documents SAY a shadow run
can show you, and a number on the status row that can be 6.61x what a live
controller would command.

SHADOW MODE CANNOT SURFACE A CLOSED-LOOP DEFECT, AND THE DOCUMENTS NOW SAY
SO. The battery is held at 0 W and the carried command is re-seeded to it,
so every measured input - the meter, the billed-quarter accumulator behind
it, the battery power, the SoC - describes a plant that did not respond. A
closed-loop defect is one whose stimulus IS that response. This is the same
property that makes shadow mode safe, so it is not a gap to close later:
the closed-loop answer comes from the closed-loop rig or from a live run.
SAFETY-10 §5 already conceded this for the grid-following loop. It was
never the loop leg's limitation; it is the general case.

THE "STRATEGIES ARE UNAFFECTED" EXEMPTION WAS TRUE UNTIL SAFETY-45 MERGED,
ONE COMMIT EARLIER. That card sizes the buy leg as min(asked, headroom)
with headroom = (900/remaining) x (ceiling - projected), and `projected`
reads the open quarter's accumulator - the meter - which is a function of
what the battery did earlier in that quarter. Measured on TEST-23 stage 3
at peak_cap_w 1500 / house 1200 / max_w 2000, one hour at 5 s:

  SAFETY-45's limit cycle  NOT visible. 28 onsets live vs 1; grid
                           -455.5..+3200.0 W vs flat at the 1200 W house;
                           guard engaged 410/720 cycles vs 0/720.
  SAFETY-46's SoC churn    NOT visible. The SoC moves 0.000000000 pp.
  TARIFF-14's wrong hour   VISIBLE, and it is the only one: which hour, at
                           what price, clearing what spread - identical on
                           720 of 720 charging cycles at a binding cap.

The exemption narrows to exactly what survives: WHICH hour a strategy picks
and WHY are unaffected; HOW HARD it trades is not. The peak guard's ceiling
and reasons are worth reading from a shadow run; its ENGAGEMENTS are not.

THE NUMBER IS CAVEATED, NOT RE-COMPUTED, AND THAT IS THE DECISION. The
arithmetic is not wrong - 900/remaining is correct for a meter genuinely
under the ceiling, and in shadow the meter genuinely is. It is the right
answer to a question nobody asked. Both surfaces now introduce the watts as
what would have been commanded ON THIS CYCLE, in every state, and carry
shadow.SIZED_FROM_METER whenever a measured billed quarter sized them.
Rejected, and recorded in the decision doc: re-computing it (the recorded
decision would no longer be the decision the shipped path reached, while the
arbiter, clamp, SAFETY-28 gate, log and MQTT all ran on the real one - a
second controller everywhere except the wire); recording nothing (blanks the
row exactly when arbitrage is trading, and the log's edge key is the watts);
and recording the unsized ask beside it (a second number, no warning, and at
the shipped 3500/2000 both figures read 2000 W).

"UPPER BOUND" AND NOT "SMALLER", AND THE DIFFERENCE WAS MEASURED. Charging
only adds offtake, so the shadow size is >= the live size with EQUALITY at
the start of every quarter. Pairwise over 3600 charging cycles in five
configurations: 0 below, 730 exactly equal. The first draft said "smaller",
which would have been false on every one of those 730.

AND THE PREDICATE IS NOT KEYED ON WHETHER THE TRADE WAS CAPPED. arbitrage's
own sentence says "SIZED BY THE CAPACITY-TARIFF GUARD" only when the
headroom came out below the ask - in a shadow run, the START of the quarter,
where the two runs agree to the float. By the end, 900/remaining has
multiplied the headroom past the ask, the trade is not capped, the sentence
is silent, and the record is at its most wrong. A caveat keyed on it would
be quietest exactly where it is needed loudest.

SAFETY-10 §6's COMMITTED EVIDENCE COULD NEVER HAVE FAILED, FOR TWO
INDEPENDENT REASONS, AND CLOSING EITHER ALONE CLOSES NOTHING. Its fixture is
peak_cap_w 15000 against a 350 W house, so the guard never engages and the
sizing is inert - the harness's own comment says so. AND every identity row
reads the FIRST charging sample, where at elapsed=0 the projection IS the
held level and the two runs agree to the float even at a cap that does bind.
Measured: widening the fixture alone leaves that comparison passing. That
second reason is a new shape for MUTATION.md's habit-4 list - an INDEX, not
a fixture - and it is recorded there as the twelfth instance. §6 is re-taken
at a binding cap across the whole run: 716 of 720 charging cycles differ,
headroom 300.0..54000.0 W in shadow against 299.9..307.8 W live, recorded
-2000.0 W against a live -302.4 W.

THE GRADER IS test_arbitrage.py PART 3d, beside SAFETY-45's own closed-loop
regression and built on the same s45_loop() harness, so the runs differ in
one argument. Three lines stand in for _write_unit()'s substitution and
_shadow_settle()'s record and re-seed, marked as a transcription;
test_clamp.py part 8 remains the check on the shipped placement. The section
carries its own precondition into every check: a mutation that stopped
either run trading made it raise on its first min(), kill the file and
report ZERO reds - FCST-06's shape, driven rather than imagined.

AND THE FIX'S OWN FIRST DRAFT CARRIED THE SAME DEFECT. Deleting the caveat
from the action-log line left all 29 files green, because the sentence was
an f-string inside _shadow_settle() and the only suite that drives it uses a
meter_source:off fixture where no arbitrage decision exists. It is
shadow.log_line() now, for the reason words() is a function.

14 mutations, no survivors; M13 and M14 are +0 B and were confirmed on disk
by sha256 with every run purged. M14's first form was aimed at the wrong
direction and correctly survived - min->max makes the shadow record larger,
which is still an upper bound. All 29 check files green.

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 e1b9254626 SAFETY-45: a price-driven charge is SIZED by the capacity guard, not switched by it
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 7m42s
With arbitrage armed at the shipped defaults, arbitrage and the capacity-tariff
guard drove each other in a sustained limit cycle. Re-measured on TEST-23 stage
3's closed rig against 478ba93, metrics recomputed rather than taken from the
card: `peak_cap_w` 1500 / 1200 W house -> 28 charge onsets an hour, mean period
131.1 s, the grid swinging -455.5 to +3200.0 W; at the SHIPPED
`peak_cap_w: 3500` with an 1800 W house -> 8/h, with a 3000 W house -> 32/h.
The bite rule is `load + max_w > peak_cap_w`, i.e. any house over 1500 W in the
cheapest quarter. §10.2: "an EMS that oscillates is worse than no EMS, both for
hardware wear and - per §9.1 - for the peak it is trying to avoid." And it was
losing the argument it was having: EVERY billed quarter in the three affected
configurations finished OVER the cap.

⚠️ THE CARD'S STATED MECHANISM IS WRONG AND THE CORRECTION IS ON THE RECORD.
The card, and .cache/s45.md before it, say the loop is the quarter boundary
resetting the projection and arbitrage re-arming at full power. It is not. Of
the 27 gaps between the 28 onsets, 23 are 90-120 s (mean 111.5 s) and lie
ENTIRELY INSIDE one quarter; the four long gaps - 230, 240, 250, 255 s - are
exactly the four that SPAN a boundary, so the boundary LENGTHENS the interval
rather than causing an onset. The real cycle, off the recorded fields: the trade
charges at max_w while `wanted = batt_w + excess` is negative and the guard
files NOTHING; `wanted` crosses zero; the guard engages on a floor of 5.3 W;
that flips `arbitrage.guard_state()`, which cancels the WHOLE trade; the
grid-following loop - which targets grid = 0, not grid = ceiling - takes the
actuator and discharges to +1870 W, exporting 420 W; the projection collapses;
the guard releases; the trade re-arms at max_w. A binary interlock keyed on a
continuous quantity. A fix aimed at the boundary would have removed four of
twenty-eight onsets.

THE FIX IS A SHAPE THIS ADD-ON ALREADY HAD. `control.maintenance_charge_floor()`
caps a MAINTENANCE charge at "the headroom left under the site's cap", because
"a maintenance charge is the only thing this system does that is big enough and
long enough to set that peak". ⚠️ That sentence stopped being true when OPT-04
landed. `peakguard.charge_headroom_w()` publishes the same quantity off the
MEASURED guard rather than off the optional `peak_forecast_entity` - the hole
SAFETY-25 had to close in `shaping_suspended()` - and `arbitrage.decide()` sizes
its BUY leg to it, keyword-only and with no default.

NO NEW ARITHMETIC AND NO NEW CONSTANT. The number is `wanted_w` read in the
other direction: `decide()` already computes the DISCHARGE that lands the
quarter on the ceiling, and a negative one is a permitted CHARGE of `-wanted`.
⚠️ `peakguard.decide()` IS UNCHANGED - sha256(decide) = 200090d0835a3a55, 7252 B
on this branch and on 478ba93 - so 2026-08-20's anti-bang-bang rung is exactly
where it was, and tools/replay_ac3.py reproduces 190/190 guarded quarters, 110
engaged cycles, 5 blind and 878 Wh on both trees.

TWO PROPERTIES MAKE IT SAFE TO HAND A STRATEGY, BOTH SWEPT RATHER THAN ARGUED.
It is INVARIANT IN THE BATTERY - raise the charge by dW, the meter rises by dW,
so `excess` rises by dW while `batt_w` falls by dW and `wanted` does not move:
1350.0 W at every point across batt_w -5000..+2000 W on one banked quarter,
while the `excess` those runs see takes six distinct values. It is feed-forward,
so consuming it adds no feedback path around the plant. And HOLDING IMPLIES ZERO
OR UNKNOWN: across 1080 swept combinations not one ENGAGED decision answers a
positive headroom.

AFTER, same rig, same command. 1500/1200: 28 onsets -> 1, grid swing 3655.5 ->
282.0 W, energy bought 180.0 -> 285.2 Wh (+58%, because a continuous 300 W trade
beats a 2000 W trade cancelled for 57% of the hour), billed quarters
1490/1497/1509 -> 1500.0/1500.0/1500.0. 3500/1800: 8 -> 1, 3511/3536/3559 ->
3500/3500/3500. 3500/3000: 32 -> 1, 3519/3542/3557 -> 3500/3500/3500. The two
shipped-default rows buy 2.2% and 1.6% LESS energy and in exchange the worst
quarter goes from 59 W over the cap to zero - which is the ordering §10.1 asks
for, since the capacity tariff bills the month's single worst quarter.
⚠️ AND THE NEGATIVE CONTROL: at peak_cap_w 5000 with a 1200 W house, where
`load + max_w` never reaches the cap, the two runs are BIT-IDENTICAL.

⚠️ A NEGATIVE `lo` WAS CONSIDERED AND REJECTED, AND THE REASON IS IN THE CODE.
Deleting `decide()`'s `wanted <= 0` gate and filing `lo = wanted` is the tidier
answer arithmetically. It creates a new `lo > hi` CONTRADICTION against
main.py's cheap-window maintenance shaping, which files a NEGATIVE `hi`;
arbiter.py clause 2 has no notion of one limit out-ranking another, so it
resolves to 0 W - the battery PARKED in the quarter that sets the bill - and the
only way to close that suspends the maintenance charge shaping PERMANENTLY on
every site this card is about. A backoff or cooldown in arbitrage was rejected
too: both modules' design notes say no timer is invented, and the trade now
re-arms at `ceiling - load` rather than at max_w, which is what learning from a
refusal means when the refusal is a measurement.

THE REGRESSION IS THE LOOP SETTLING, NOT A UNIT TEST ON decide().
test_arbitrage.py 3c closes the loop over the shipped guard, strategy, arbiter,
control law and QuarterAverager with a modelled plant, and asserts BOTH
directions: unsized it must run away (24 onsets, -414..+3200 W, a quarter over
the cap) and sized it must settle (1 onset, 303 W swing, three quarters at
exactly 1500.0 W). The two runs differ in one argument. A third pair asserts the
card is INERT where the defect is inert.

Evidence: 29/29 green. 14 mutations, every one RED on a named check, no
survivors; two are ZERO BYTES - `min()` -> `max()` on the sizing, and the
sized-trade sentence's two operands transposed - and both are red. M13 reverts
the 2026-08-20 rung and is red on EIGHT named checks in test_peakguard and three
in test_arbitrage. Every revert verified by a tree fingerprint AFTER the revert,
which is how a defect in the battery's own harness was found: two edits to one
file, restored in list order, left the first one on disk (MUTATION.md habit 18).
test_peakguard.py part 1 also gained a None-safe format, because the mutation it
exists to catch made it raise TypeError one line later and ABORT the file -
parts 2-13 were ungraded and M13's recorded coverage was one check instead of
eight.

Not fixed, and named: TEST-23 finding 1's export overshoot at the END of a trade
(356-938 W, ~0.37 x max_w) is a different card; a house whose load ALONE exceeds
the cap still has the trade refused outright and the loop drive to grid = 0
rather than to the ceiling, and no swept pair reaches that regime; the container
leg (hadrive.py) was not re-run because test23s3-addon is deliberately stopped
as a second writer on the setpoint entity.

adminandClaude Opus 5 610725bed9 TARIFF-11: the plan's account of itself, corrected and put on the page
Four defects of one shape - the add-on's report of its own tariff plan was
wrong, always in the direction that flattered it - and one check, which is
the deliverable.

1. `TariffPlan.words` counted POINTS and called them HOURS. The live add-on
   logged `dynamic_dayahead from generic_dayahead, 132 h` for 132
   quarter-hourly points = 33 hours. Belgium moved to a 15-minute MTU on
   2025-10-01, so this was wrong every time it was printed, and NOT by a
   constant factor: a 40-hour soak measured 1.79x .. 5.33x, because §8.3's
   carried points are hourly while the firm ones are quarter-hourly.
   `words` now reports both quantities, plus the firm/carried split and the
   spacing, in FCST-04's *Price history* wording so the two rows can be
   compared.

2. §8.3's firm-pair refusal and the flat-tariff refusal did the same, and
   they reach an operator through `self.arb.explain()`. This is exactly the
   point<->hour conflation TARIFF-14 removed from `at()`, left standing in
   the prose. `price_forecast.py`'s §8.3 carry-forward log line carried the
   third instance - a carried-HOUR count over a POINT count - and DOCS
   quotes it verbatim, so it is corrected here too.

3. The plan reached no HTTP surface at all. `rows["Tariff"]` was
   `static_status()`'s 30 s-tick sentence and never saw the provider plan -
   it read 'no static profile' at all 802 soak samples on a site whose feed
   was answering. It now carries the plan's shape. ⚠️ The two sources are
   kept distinguishable: the plan half is stamped with its own age, measured
   from `tariff_at`, because it can be up to TARIFF_MAX_AGE_S (5400 s) old.
   FCST-04 pins that row to DOCS as a pair; DOCS moves in this commit.

4. `main.py`'s "if and only if" was false. `cycle()` returns at the input
   hold before `self.arb = None`, so an armed site read
   `off (arbitrage_enabled)` - naming an option that is on - and, after one
   completed cycle, showed a decision up to 15 s stale as a current one. The
   row now reads the OPTION and separates three facts; `cycle_at` and
   `arb_at` make "this cycle reached no decision" an observation.

THE DELIVERABLE IS THE CHECK. All four survived 29 green suites because
nothing graded the strings a human is shown. `test_price.py` section 12
renders through the shipped `status_payload()`, parses each number out of
its OWN SLOT and compares it against a figure computed from the fixture's
construction parameters - not from the property the row was built out of
(habit 4), and not as a substring of a sentence the same file wrote (habit
14). The fixture set is four plan shapes and the check computes and prints
the field pairs no fixture separates. The *Arbitrage* row's states are
driven through real cycles with a sensor answering None and graded by
INEQUALITY.

No behaviour changed: no threshold, refusal rung, claim or setpoint moved.

MUTATIONS: 16, no survivors, one at +0 B (the risky delta) and red. Two were
found by the battery INSIDE THIS CARD'S OWN CHECK: a -190 B survivor whose
fixture varied two things at once (habit 4), and a mutation whose red was a
TRACEBACK in an f-string operand and therefore named nothing (FCST-06). Both
closed; the table is on the PR.

All 29 test files green.

Claude f5ea39784d Merge release/1.0 (TARIFF-10) into TARIFF-12
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 7m16s
CHANGELOG.md was the only conflict: both entries belong under the same
`## Unreleased` heading, TARIFF-10's first because it merged first. No
version number picked.

app/main.py auto-merged, and was re-read because of it. TARIFF-10 changed
WHICH installs run `run_tariff_refresh()` (`arbitrage.enabled(opts)` ->
`tariff_refresh_wanted(opts)`); this card changed what that task does on
a failed fetch. Nothing in the keep/replace reasoning changed, and the
two newly reachable configurations are now DRIVEN in test_arbitrage.py
8b rather than reasoned about:

  * a provider configured with trading DISARMED is the case the guard
    was designed for, and needs no second fixture because nothing on
    this path reads `arbitrage_enabled` at all - asserted over the AST's
    symbols and non-docstring constants, after two drafts of that check
    went red on a CORRECT tree for matching the word "arbitrage" in a
    docstring and in a log line;
  * `price_provider: off` + a `static_profile` resolves to the
    CONFIGURED product (`origin: "static"`), so `standing.from_feed` is
    false on every refresh and the guard never latches - driven twice in
    a row, because a guard that latched there would freeze a static
    site's plan at its first window for the life of the install.

Also: the kept-plan log line said "arbitrage stops with it", which after
TARIFF-10 is false on a site that fetches without trading; it now says
"arbitrage, where it is armed, stops with it". The keep decision is
strictly downstream of `resolve_tariff()`, so the §8.3 carry into
price_history - TARIFF-10's whole point - is unaffected either way.

All 29 suites green on the merged tree, including TARIFF-10's new
test_price.py section 13. All eleven mutations RE-DRIVEN on the merged
tree rather than carried over: eleven red, no survivors, every revert
fingerprinted. M11 is new - making the guard conditional on
`arbitrage.enabled(self.o)` (+86 B) is red on five named checks.

Claude c81289527f TARIFF-12: a returned degradation is not a refresh
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 7m12s
`run_tariff_refresh()` promised in its own docstring that "a failure does
not clear the plan", and enforced it with `except Exception` - a branch a
supplier outage never reaches. `load_prices()` states the reason in its
own words: it "RETURNS, NEVER RAISES, for every failure a site can
actually have", because a degradation arriving as a traceback into the
planning tick would stop the controller regulating over an expired
certificate. So a dead feed RETURNS a §11.4 plan, the `try` succeeds, and
the assignment below it overwrote the good plan unconditionally. With
`static_profile` unset - the shipped default, and the normal state of a
dynamic-tariff site - `_degrade()` returns `TariffPlan(no_data, None,
"none")`: a complete 48-hour plan replaced by nothing, at the FIRST
failed fetch, ~27 minutes after the last good one. `TARIFF_MAX_AGE_S`
(5400 s) never governed anything and there was no serve-stale window at
all.

Fourth card in one family: FCST-04's M4 (`not ok` only), FCST-05's HIGH
(`(JSONDecodeError, OSError)` only), FCST-06 (`not self.ok` only), and
now `except Exception` only, for a path that never raises.

The question is now asked once, after the attempt, from the evidence
that exists - FCST-06's answer, one module over. The evidence is
`TariffPlan.from_feed` (did this resolution observe the configured feed)
and the shipped `fresh_tariff_plan()`, reused rather than transcribed. A
degradation replaces a standing observation only once that observation
has aged out, so `TARIFF_MAX_AGE_S` is now the serve-stale window it
reads like.

A §11.4 static fallback does not replace a fresh provider plan either,
although it carries real prices: every point `_degrade()` builds is
`provisional=True`, so `firm_points()` is empty, `arbitrage()` refuses
and `cheap_now()` is False - everything a consumer may act on is already
off - while a day-ahead price for a given hour does not change once
published. The rule is deliberately not symmetrical: a standing plan
that is itself a degradation IS replaced, or an outage would freeze the
operator's static profile at the window it was first generated for.

`tariff_at` does not move on a kept plan. It is the moment of the fetch
that produced the plan standing, `fresh_tariff_plan()` judges the age
from it, and an unmoved timestamp is the only thing that tells a kept
plan from a freshly fetched one.

test_arbitrage.py section 8b drives the whole chain with nothing stubbed
but the socket: the transport raises the way aiohttp does, load_prices()
returns no_data, _degrade() builds the §11.4 plan, and the shipped
run_tariff_refresh() decides. A check that patched resolve_tariff to
RAISE would have passed against the defect. Ten mutations, ten reds, no
survivors; 29/29 suites green.

Out of scope and unchanged: the persisted price store still does not
back the plan during an outage (FCST-03), and the status banner and the

adminandClaude Opus 5 e6c45a61e7 TARIFF-10: configuring a price provider is what fetches prices
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 7m19s
amain() started the background tariff refresh only when arbitrage_enabled was
on, and that option ships false. run_tariff_refresh is the only caller of
resolve_tariff(), which is the only caller of price_history.carry() - so on a
shipped install with a price provider configured nothing was ever fetched: no
plan resolved, /data/price_history.json never created, the Price history status
row reading `empty` for the life of the install, and TARIFF-09's short-horizon
warning unable to fire because there was no fetch to warn about. Measured over
a 40 h two-instance soak on one feed: 0 requests and `present: false` across all
802 samples, against a resolved 132-point plan on the instance with arbitrage
armed.

git log -S puts the refresh task, its arbitrage.enabled() guard AND the DOCS.md
sentence saying a configured provider still fetches in the same commit - OPT-04,
bdd7f18; config.yaml has carried the claim since TARIFF-02, 852fc7c. The prose
and the code disagreed from the moment both existed and nothing compared them.
config.yaml and both translations additionally carried a claim that had rotted
the other way - "nothing consumes the price series yet", untrue since OPT-04
shipped the consumer. All four surfaces now say what the add-on does, and a
check pairs DOCS against the DRIVEN behaviour so they cannot drift again.

The gate is tariff_refresh_wanted() = provider_configured(opts) or
arbitrage.enabled(opts), and the `or` is a STRICT WIDENING: every configuration
that started the task before still starts it. The second term is not there for
symmetry. price_provider: off + a static_profile + arbitrage_enabled: true is a
configuration validate.py explicitly ACCEPTS and it trades - measured, at
cycle_cost_threshold_eur 0.05 on a 0.20/0.284 day/night profile,
ARBITRAGE_CHARGE -5000 W. Gating on the provider alone would leave that site's
tariff_plan at None forever and answer "no tariff plan has been resolved yet" on
every cycle, silently disarming a strategy the UI says is running.

Nothing acquires a periodic HTTPS call. With price_provider off, resolve_tariff()
answers out of the static profile without opening a socket (driven and counted:
0 requests), and the true shipped default - no provider, no trading - starts no
task at all. What decides whether a request leaves the machine is price_provider
and only that. The literal reading of the ticket's AC2 - drop the `or` - is one
token and is recorded in DECISIONS §3 with what it costs, for the owner.

AND NOTHING TRADES THAT DID NOT TRADE BEFORE. cycle()'s
`if arbitrage.enabled(self.o):` is untouched, and that is graded directly rather
than inferred from the gate having moved: Controller.cycle() is driven on a
resolved provider plan with the peak guard asserted clear, and arbitrage_enabled
is the only option that moves between the rows - false/false give +180 W
("loop -> 180 W") on both the cheap-now and dear-now plans, true/true give
-5000 W and +5000 W ("arbitrage -> ...").

TariffPlan.cheap_now() is deliberately NOT wired, decided rather than inherited
(DECISIONS §4). A provider-backed plan now exists on every configured site, so
Cheap window could read it - and Cheap window feeds the maintenance cycle's grid
top-up, the one place a price moves energy without trading being armed. On a
provider-only site static_status() returns False on every cycle, so adopting it
would take a paid grid top-up from never to sometimes. self.cheap stays on
static_status(); what adoption would take is listed rather than left implied.

THE CHECK THAT WOULD HAVE CAUGHT THIS is test_price.py section 13, and it grades
REACHABILITY FROM A CONFIGURATION rather than the shape of an `if` - the `if` was
exactly what somebody meant to write. amain()'s guards are EVALUATED against real
option dicts, whatever they are spelled as; the call graph under app/ is walked
to see whether the tasks those guards start arrive at resolve_tariff(), wherever
it has moved to; and then the fetch is DRIVEN with a counting transport, because
a graph is an argument and a counted request is an observation. What the
instrument cannot see is printed on every run, largest hole first.

Evidence: 29/29 green. 13 mutations in 14 runs - M10 re-run as M10b once it was
closed - each applied to a fresh cp -a of the clean worktree rather than
reverted (MUTATION.md habit 18), purged, :ro, -B. The
shipped defect - the gate back at arbitrage.enabled(opts), -4 B - is red on
seven named checks. Dropping the `or` (-27 B) is red on the strict-widening row;
removing cycle()'s trading gate (+8 B) is red on both AC3 rows. The instrument
is mutated too (habit 16): _reaches() always True and _task_sites() returning []
are both +0 B and both red.

Two findings are recorded rather than rounded off. provider_id() dropping
.strip() (-8 B) was a real SURVIVOR across four price suites - nothing fed a
padded provider id - and is closed in this commit by the padded-id pair; and the
first draft of the AC3 fixture fed five minutes of P1 telegrams, so whether the
peak guard was blind depended on where the wall clock sat inside the billing
quarter and the armed baseline failed to trade on some runs. It is 900 s now,
and the guard's clear state is a check rather than an assumption.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 b59f5ce31b FCST-04: the carry-forward stops decimating a quarter-hourly feed, and a broken cache stops stopping the add-on
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 7m22s
Rework of the FCST-04 branch against review. Every finding below was proven by
a runnable script before it was touched and re-run after; every check added or
repaired was driven red by a mutation, `__pycache__` purged first (MUTATION.md,
TEST-15). 29/29 test files green.

⚠️ H1 - A SUB-HOURLY FEED WAS DECIMATED TO ONE POINT AN HOUR, AND THE SPREAD
WENT WITH IT. `fill_from_yesterday()` keyed the published set as
`{_utc_hour(p.start): p for p in r.points}` - LAST POINT OF THE HOUR WINS, the
other three dropped. `eneco_eddy` is the Belgian imbalance product and settles
per QUARTER, and `_validate_raw()` accepts any strictly-increasing spacing, so
this is a shape the product supports today. Measured on a 96-point quarter-hourly
feed - ALL FIRM, FULLY PUBLISHED, nothing to carry: the plan reached the
optimiser as 15 points, the arbitrage spread fell from 0.143 to 0.014 EUR/kWh,
and the cheapest "hour" became a `:45` point whose `at()` window runs into the
next one. Not the windowing effect this card is about; a feed losing 84 % of its
own prints, with no flag anywhere reporting it. The fill now decides only WHICH
WHOLE HOURS NEED CARRYING: every published point inside the window passes
through BY IDENTITY, and a carried point is added only for a whole hour with no
published coverage at all. Same feed, same fixture: 60 of 60 firm points kept,
spread 0.134 over the hours still ahead.

⚠️ AND `_audit()` GOT STRICTER, NOT LOOSER - that was the condition on doing it
at all. The old post-condition refused any repeated `_utc_hour`, a count that
cannot express four points in one hour. Two rules replace it and SUBSUME it: a
published point must BE one of that hour's published points by identity and may
be emitted only once; a carried point may stand only in an hour absent from the
published set, must be flagged True, and may not repeat. So the duplicated
carried hour it existed to catch still raises, the same published point emitted
twice now raises, and a carried point sharing an hour with a real print now
raises too - which the count never looked at. Three mutations, three reds.

⚠️ H2 - A DAY RECORD THAT WAS NOT A RECORD STOPPED THE ADD-ON FROM STARTING.
`_load()` validated `version` and that `days` is a dict, never that each VALUE
is one. `{"version": 1, "days": {"2026-01-14": "oops"}}` loaded as ok=True,
last_error=None, and then `rec.get(...)` raised AttributeError out of `words`,
`yesterday()` and `resolve_tariff()` alike. `PriceHistory(...)` and `.words` are
both unguarded in `Controller.__init__`, so the controller did not come up - and
it never self-healed, because `_remember()` raised on the same record before it
could reach `_save()`. That falsifies the CHANGELOG's "A BROKEN CACHE IS NOT A
BROKEN CONTROLLER" in the one direction that matters. The asymmetry that
produced it is visible in the file: `_parse_points()` is carefully defensive
about every field of a POINT and `_load()` was not defensive about the record
holding them. Unusable records are now dropped and REPORTED (`words` says how
many and why), and `words` is total by construction as a second line.

M3 - `yesterday()` WAS OFF BY ONE DAY FOR 00:00-00:59 AFTER SPRING-FORWARD.
`brussels()` renders at the FIXED offset for that instant, so `brussels(stamp) -
timedelta(days=1)` subtracts 24 ABSOLUTE hours - and the Brussels day before the
March transition is 23 hours long. At 2026-03-30T00:30+02:00 it returned
2026-03-28's prices as "yesterday", or `no_data` naming a date that is not
yesterday. The arithmetic is now on the local DATE, which has no offset to lose,
and both transitions have a check - the module's headline claim had none.

M4 - WITH NO /data THE STORE STILL FILLED, IN MEMORY. `_save()` short-circuited
on `not ok` while `_remember()` populated `self._days` anyway: `words` said
"unavailable" and `yesterday()` answered A SERIES that is gone on the next
restart. The module docstring rejects exactly that ("a yesterday that silently
forgets") as its reason for not calling makedirs, so the code now matches the
docstring rather than contradicting it.

M5 - THE PRUNE MUTATION SURVIVED BECAUSE THE STIMULUS WAS DEGENERATE. §8's
clock-jump check seeded ONE day, so `if len(self._days) <= KEEP_DAYS: return`
fired and the body it is named after never ran: pruning by arithmetic against
the clock - which empties the store on exactly the morning the fill is for -
passed the whole 29-file suite. The fixture is now written to a file and
reopened (`_load()` does not prune, which is how a store legitimately holds more
than the cap) with KEEP_DAYS + 2 days, and the mutant is red.

M6 - THE AST ORDERING CHECK COULD NOT CATCH A REVERSAL, AND TWO DOCUMENTS CITED
IT AS A GUARANTEE. `_calls.index("_remember") < _calls.index("yesterday")` grades
`ast.walk` BFS DEPTH: `self._remember(...)` is a statement and
`self.yesterday(...)` is an ARGUMENT of the fill, one level deeper, so
`_remember` came out first whichever statement was written first - shipped and
reversed both scored True. It is now line numbers AND, the half that matters,
the behaviour: a feed carrying yesterday alongside today into an EMPTY store
must fill the whole horizon; reversed, the lookup finds nothing and the plan is
only the published hours. Reversing the two statements is red on both.

L14/L9 - KEEP_DAYS = 3 IS THE STEADY STATE EXACTLY, so a newest-N cap has no
slack: a feed publishing to D+2, or ONE stray point in the wrong year - which
sorts LAST and can never age out - pushes yesterday out for good. `_prune()` now
PINS the two days a lookup can actually ask for on top of the cap. Pinning is
additive, so it can only RETAIN and the WITNESS-03 property (nothing is deleted
by clock arithmetic) is preserved by construction; `stamp` stops being a dead
parameter; the store is bounded at KEEP_DAYS + 2.

L8 - the horizon end was not floored while `since` was, so a 48 h request made
at any instant off the hour returned 49 points. §1's count was green only
because its NOW was exactly :00:00, a shape production never has; the fixture
now sits at :17:43. L10 - a failed `_save()` leaked its temp file; at 48 writes
a day a persistent write failure leaked 48 inodes a day onto the volume that was
already the problem. L15 - `{"version": 1.0}` passed, since `1.0 == 1`. L16 -
the `_remember` tree walk scanned `app/*.py` only and matched a bare string; it
now parses `app/`, `tools/`, `scenarios/` and `estop/` and looks for the NAME,
so a comment does not fail it and a call in `tools/` cannot pass unseen.

CLAIM-ACCURACY DEFECTS, WHICH THIS REPO TREATS AS REAL:

* L7. DOCS said "*Tariff* on the status page reads `provisional` through the
  morning". FALSE - `tariff_words` is assigned only from the HA price-entity
  branch and from `static_status()`, both on the 30 s tick, and the plan's own
  sentence reaches `_LOG.info`. The doc now says what an operator can see (the
  Price history row, the Arbitrage row's own refusal sentence, the refresh log
  line) and a check pins the PAIRING - wiring the plan into the row is fine,
  correcting the doc is fine, doing one without the other is red.
* L11. "fills EVERY unpublished hour" is conditional: a partial yesterday leaves
  the local hours it never held out of the series (§11.4 for those hours, and
  `at()` raises rather than answering). Correct behaviour, overclaimed wording,
  and untested - all three fixed.
* L12. DECISIONS §1 leaned on `TariffPlan.cheap_now()`, which has NO PRODUCTION
  CALLER on the provider plan (`self.cheap` comes from `static_status()`, which
  builds its own). The conclusion holds on `arbitrage()`'s firm-pair refusal
  alone, which does reach control; the evidence is now stated at the reach it
  has.
* L13. §1's "passed through by identity" check compared `eur_per_kwh` between
  two SEPARATE `resolve_tariff()` calls, where `is` could never have held. The
  value comparison is kept and now says what it grades; identity is graded on a
  read the file constructs and still holds.
* L17. `PriceHistory.words` and the new status row had no check at all - and
  `words` is one of the two things H2 crashed. Both now have one.
* L18. main.py's inline note carried the "widens what the optimiser can SEE,
  never what it may act on" guarantee without the windowing caveat that the
  CHANGELOG, DOCS and `resolve_tariff()`'s docstring all carry. It is the one
  place a maintainer reads it unqualified.

EVIDENCE. All eight reviewer proofs re-run: p1/p1b return 29 March, p4 keeps
60 of 60 firm points at spread 0.134, p5 starts and reports, p6 D leaves no
temp, p6 E refuses 1.0, p6 F records nothing, p7 returns 48 for 48. p2's script
still scores True/True because it re-implements the OLD algorithm - the
reversal is now driven as a mutation instead, and is red. p3's script always
showed the shipped code correct; what was wrong was the fixture, and its mutant
is now red. Twenty mutations driven, no survivors, tree fingerprinted and
`__pycache__` purged before each: decimation (2 suites red), audit x3, unfloored
`until` (2), unvalidated day records (7 checks), instant-subtraction yesterday,
in-memory fill on a volume-less store, clock-arithmetic prune, cap without the
pin, leaked temp, loose schema type, empty `words` (5), reversed `carry()` (2),
a `_remember` leak in tools/ spelled two ways, a neighbour-filling fallback, a
copy instead of identity (2), the DOCS claim in both directions, and the caveat
removed from main.py. Baseline and the unmutated tree both green.

No option added, config.yaml untouched, and the CHANGELOG entry still picks no
version: PKG-07's rule, and only the deployer knows whether 0.9.0's image has
been pulled.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 0618194d9c FCST-04: the carry-forward fill reaches the plan, and the day it carries survives a restart
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 7m11s
FCST-03 shipped `fill_from_yesterday()` complete and checked, and shipped the
consumers written for it - `TariffPlan.firm_points()`, `cheap_now()`'s refusal
of a provisional hour, and `arbitrage()`'s refusal 3, which drops provisional
hours from the trade set rather than refusing the whole series. It shipped NO
CALLER. Nothing in `app/` named the fill, so no series ever contained a carried
point and every one of those consumers was exercising its all-firm branch.

⚠️ THE DEFECT THAT PRODUCED WAS NOT AN ERROR ANYWHERE. `load_prices()` returns
what the feed published and nothing widened it to the requested horizon, so on
a dynamic site between midnight and the 14-16 h CET publication the plan
covered the rest of today and nothing more - measured on the fixture here, 24 h
against a 48 h request. `arbitrage()` then took `max - min` over that truncated
window and reported a spread. The number was real, the window was half the one
configured, and nothing said so: tomorrow evening's peak, the hour a morning
charge would be sold into, was not in the series to be compared against
anything. A missing hour is not a wrong price - it is an hour the optimiser
never learns exists.

WHAT THIS ADDS. `app/price_history.py` keeps the PUBLISHED prices of the last
KEEP_DAYS Brussels days in /data/price_history.json; `resolve_tariff()` gains a
required keyword-only `history` and fills every unpublished hour of the horizon
from yesterday's same-wall-clock hour, flagged. Persistence rather than a
variable on the refresh task, because the window the fill exists for is
midnight -> publication and an add-on restarted at 08:00 would otherwise spend
all of it on the truncated series. Not in state.json: the refresh runs every
1800 s and that file holds the maintenance history and SAFETY-02's latch.

⚠️ ONE CHANGE HERE MOVES ENERGY, AND IT IS NOT THE ONE THE CARD IS NAMED FOR.
Carried hours are provisional, so §8.3 keeps them out of the trade set: the
fill widens what the optimiser can SEE, never what it may DO, and
test_price_history.py checks that so it cannot be overclaimed later. What does
change a trade is that the filled series is windowed to [since, until), so
hours that have ALREADY ELAPSED are no longer in the spread. Before, a cheap
night that had gone sat in the series as the day's cheapest hour - and a cycle
cannot buy in an hour that is past, so the trade was quietly never taken.
Section 2 grades this by finding the cheapest firm hour with and without the
fill and showing it MOVES, from 02:00 UTC to 08:00 UTC on the fixture.

⚠️ A DEAD FEED IS STILL §11.4, NOT YESTERDAY. The fill runs only on a `series`
read. The two are indistinguishable to the optimiser - both 100 % provisional,
so arbitrage refuses on the firm-pair rung and `cheap_now()` is False - so
preferring yesterday's feed over the `static_profile` an operator configured
FOR that case would change a documented degradation for a difference only the
status page can see. That, and two more, in
DECISIONS/FCST-04-the-day-that-is-carried.md.

⚠️ THE ANTI-DECAY RULE IS AN ORDERING, NOT A VALIDATION, and saying so is more
useful than a guarantee that would not hold. Feeding the filled series back in
is how this rots - day 2 carries day 1's guesses, day 3 carries day 2's carry
of them, behind a `provisional` flag that stays TRUE while the NUMBER decays.
No value-level check can catch it: a carried point and `eneco_eddy`'s
published-provisional quarter are the same three fields with the same flag. So
`carry()` is the only public entry, it records BEFORE it fills, the filled
series exists only as a return value the object never sees again, and
test_price_history.py walks app/ for any other module naming `_remember` and
reads `carry()`'s AST to pin the order.

EVIDENCE. 29/29 test files pass in the CI image. Eight mutations driven against
app/price_history.py and app/static_tariff.py, __pycache__ purged before each
run per MUTATION.md/TEST-15: newest-record lookup (5 red), recording the filled
series (1), replace-instead-of-merge (10), UTC-date keying (10), removing the
fill call entirely (12), a lost price field defaulting to 0.0 (2), prune by
clock arithmetic (1), a degraded reason that stops naming its cause (1). No
survivors; baseline and revert both green. Three of those first crashed the
harness instead of reporting a FAIL - "it was refused" and "it broke on the way
to being refused" must not grade the same - so `why()` and `_priced()` were
added and the run repeated.

No option added, config.yaml untouched, and the CHANGELOG entry deliberately
picks no version: PKG-07's rule, and only the deployer knows whether 0.9.0's
image has been pulled.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 f6d7bfcb04 SAFETY-44: give the moved-not-lost branch a control that reaches it, and make the move injective
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 7m38s
⚠️ THE CONTROL I WROTE LAST ROUND WAS INERT, AND REVIEW MEASURED IT. M12 ran its
mutant over `state-legacy.json` and the findings diff against the UNMUTATED tree
was EMPTY. It "passed" because that fixture's STAGED leg is already exit 1 on
pre-existing litter, and `"migrated  unit/shed/" not in out` was trivially true
because a pre-DEV-02 FLAT store has no shed latch to lose - after migration only
the FIRST roster entry is ever latched.

The decisive measurement is the one it could not make: reverting the
`vanished_unit not in after.units` narrowing - restoring exactly the rule that
hides a real latch loss - left 28/28 GREEN.

⚠️ SO IT WAS HABIT 4 WEARING THE CLOTHES OF ITS OWN FIX, AND WORSE THAN THE
"NO CONTROL" IT REPLACED, because it reads as checked. That is this commit's
own argument about the M3 mis-citation, turned on the thing I wrote to answer it.

⭐ THE FIXTURE CAME FIRST THIS TIME. `state-both-latched.json` is a store at
SCHEMA_VERSION with `unit/garage/*` AND `unit/shed/*` both latched by ONE site
event, so the reasons match too - the arrangement in which same-value
suppression is most dangerous, and the one no existing fixture could produce.
M12's mutant then makes ONE roster unit's latch key VANISH while its sibling's
survives at the same value:

    shipped tree, both-latched fixture      exit 0, no findings
    one unit's latch key deleted            exit 1, ADDS
                                            VANISHED STORE KEY unit/shed/sign_tripped
    narrowing reverted                      ⚠️ RED  (was 28/28 green)

And it asserts the PRECONDITION - the fixture is clean on the shipped tree -
plus that the mutation ADDS findings rather than coinciding with ones the
fixture already had. An empty diff there is exactly what made the last draft
inert, and nothing said so.

⭐ AND THE MOVE IS NOW INJECTIVE, which is the narrower hole review found still
open. `moved_to` is "any machine-read key with the same bare name and the same
value", and `DEFAULTS["sign_tripped"] is False` means `True` is the ONLY
non-default value a latch can hold - so N vanished keys could all claim the SAME
destination, by construction rather than by coincidence. Measured on a rename
carrying `inverter-a` -> `garage` correctly while DROPPING `inverter-b` -> `shed`:

    migrated  unit/inverter-a/sign_tripped = True -> unit/garage/sign_tripped
    migrated  unit/inverter-b/sign_tripped = True -> unit/garage/sign_tripped

Zero store-key findings, on a run where `shed` came up UNLATCHED. Two keys
cannot both have become one key. `diff()` claims each destination once.

⚠️ AND THE CHECK FOR IT IS ANCHORED TO A RUN THAT ACTUALLY PRODUCES MIGRATED
LINES. A dedicated mutant was written first and asserted over an EMPTY list -
vacuous, passing, indistinguishable from working, the same defect twice in one
sitting. These fixtures cannot produce two claimants (`migrate_unit_keys()`
moves FLAT keys only, so one flat latch yields one migration), so rather than
build a fiction to grade, injectivity is asserted over part 5's real migrations,
with a PRECONDITION that there are at least two of them. THE TWO-CLAIMANT
ARRANGEMENT IS A STATED RESIDUAL: bounded in `diff()` by construction, not
measured end-to-end.

Finding 4, and my correction to it was also wrong. The comment cited "line 315"
and "two hundred lines below"; the fix I wrote said "~54 lines down", which was
review's distance to the WRONG line, carried to a new referent without
re-measuring - inside the sentence apologising for a wrong number. Recomputed at
5e382f5: 327-261 = 66, 327-252 = 75, and 54 was neither. There is no distance
now, because a distance is a coordinate and the sentence already names the thing.

And the residual gains its second half, which review noticed and I had not: the
reason re-armed from is the FLAT mirror, carrying whatever tripped LAST, so this
path can print one inverter's evidence under another's name. The latch is right
and the explanation may not be. `test_maintenance.py`'s check that the reason is
not the removed unit's is guaranteed by that fixture's flat string, NOT by the
code, and now says so.

28/28 files pass.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 d1b7e3f113 SAFETY-44: decide per key, because one shared flag let an unrelated latch veto the repair
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 6m58s
⚠️ REVIEW DEFEATED THIS CARD'S OWN FIX WITH ONE ADDED KEY, and the project's own
instrument agreed on the unmodified tree. The guard classified each key and then
wrote ONE site-wide `namespaced_latched` for BOTH "on the roster" and
"off-roster but not UNIT_A", so a single latched key belonging to a unit the
operator had removed from `inverters:` vetoed the repair of the misdirected
`inverter-a` latch beside it. Measured, roster ['garage','shed'], store stamped
so the migration fix cannot reach it:

  sign_tripped + unit/inverter-a/sign_tripped     -> [('garage', True),  ...]
  ...AND unit/old-shed/sign_tripped               -> ⚠️ [('garage', False), ...]

A site DRIVING on a state file that reads `sign_tripped: true` - the sentence in
this card's own first paragraph - and `tools/rehearse_roster.py` printed
`LATCH CAME UP DISARMED` on it, exit 1, against shipped code. It matters more
than a normal hole because this guard is, as main.py says, the ONLY repair path
for an install already stamped by 0.9.0.

⚠️ AND IT IS INSTANCE #17 OF HABIT 4, IN THE EXTENSION MUTATION.md ADDED TWO
DAYS AGO. The two fixtures written for this card each hold ONE arrangement -
`_staged_store` has only `inverter-a`, `_other_store` only `inverter-b` - so the
flag was never written twice with opposite intents in a single store. A per-key
check whose keys have never disagreed WITHIN ONE STORE is a check over whichever
key came last. Three variables now, one per case, and a fixture holding BOTH.
Four cases driven: stranded-only repairs, +1 unrelated repairs, +2 repairs,
off-roster-only does NOT (which is DEV-02's control, still green).

⭐ AND THE MOVED-NOT-LOST RULE HID A GENUINE LATCH LOSS. The match was bare key
plus value over the whole of `machine_read`, with no identity - and
`DEFAULTS["sign_tripped"] is False`, so the ONLY non-default value a latch can
hold is `True`. Any surviving latched roster unit therefore suppressed any other
unit's vanished latch. Review measured a build that drops `unit/shed/sign_*`
while `unit/garage/sign_*` survives, both latched by one site event so the
reasons matched too:

    none in LEG SAME-STEP: nothing vanished, nothing stranded ...
    NO FINDINGS in the rehearsed transitions            exit 0

A roster unit's persisted SAFETY-02 latch deleted, transition reported clean.
The legitimate case is a RENAME - the key left `inverter-a`, which is not on
this roster, and arrived under `garage`, which is - so the vanished key's own
unit must be OFF the roster. A key whose unit is still on the roster has not
been renamed, it has been lost, and no amount of the same value elsewhere makes
that untrue.

⚠️ AND THE BOUND I CITED FOR IT DID NOT EXIST. Both the comment and the last
commit message said "what M3 (delete the flat rollback view) measures". M3 is
not that mutant - it drops `sign_reason` from `LEGACY_UNIT_KEYS` - and the one I
meant, M9, vanishes only FLAT keys, so neither can satisfy the `unit/` gate the
rule sits behind. NEITHER EXERCISED THE BRANCH; it had no negative control at
all, in a card whose subject is checks that cannot reach the failure they name.
A citation is the worst carrier for that, because it reads as having been
checked. M12 is written for it and driven: a roster unit that stops restoring
its latch is exit 1, and the suppression does not swallow it.

`misdirected` IS UNREACHABLE FROM THE CALL SITE, and the claim that it was a
benefit is withdrawn rather than restated. `unit` is `roster_names(opts)[0]` and
`build_roster()` names its first entry from the same list, so `unit` is a member
of `roster` by construction; review measured it - dropping the `roster` argument
inside `migrate_unit_keys()` survives 28/28. The argument stays for the reason
`_verify_moves()` gives for its own `roster=None` branch, it is what a NEW
caller gets - and a guard nothing exercises is a guard nobody knows works, so it
is now exercised at the function's own level: a wrong `unit` comes back
misdirected, the marker is not stamped, and the same call with a roster name
stamps it. Dead `if _roster_names else UNIT_A` removed; `roster_names()` never
returns [].

THE OPERATOR MESSAGE IS ASSERTED. Review deleted it whole (`if stranded:` ->
`if False:`) and 28/28 stayed green - `stranded` had no other consumer, so the
list existed only to print a line nothing checked, and that line is the entire
operator-facing half of the repair. Now: exactly one SAFETY-44 line at ERROR,
naming the stranded key and the roster it was measured against.

A wrong line citation removed: the call-site comment said "line 315's comment"
and "two hundred lines below", and both were wrong (315 is the CFG-03 defaults
note; the comment meant is ~54 lines down). Cite the thing, not its coordinates.

⚠️ AND WHAT 5b/5c ACTUALLY PIN IS RECORDED, because review is owed the
distinction: `mutant_tree()` asserts its target exists, so EDITING the guarded
line makes the file red at the ANCHOR before any behaviour is measured - which
looks identical from the exit code and proves much less. It happened twice while
writing this commit. The behavioural coverage lives in test_maintenance.py
section 13 and test_inverter.py, which build stores rather than strings.

Fixture strings no longer say "measured" - they are synthetic, and the repo's
other fixture carries an explicit SYNTHETIC header.

28/28 files pass.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 5e382f52f6 SAFETY-44: the latch migration takes the roster, and the guard stops being defeated by the key the defect wrote
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 6m56s
⚠️ A DISARMED SAFETY-02 GUARD ON AN INSTALL WHOSE STATE FILE SAYS IT IS
PROTECTED. `Controller.__init__` called `migrate_unit_keys(store, UNIT_A)` - a
hardcoded constant - while its sibling `migrate_maint_keys(store, unit, roster)`
takes the roster and refuses a write no machine reads. On a store that ran
pre-DEV-02 flat and declares `inverters: [garage, shed]`, the latch moved to
`unit/inverter-a/sign_tripped`, `_verify_moves()` read it back under the name it
had been HANDED, was satisfied, and stamped the marker. Not one inverter came up
latched, and the next start skipped the migration too.

That is the MAINT-05 defect verbatim, still live in the function whose own
docstring describes it, and `_grade_store_migration()` did not catch it: its
"is anything namespaced latched" test was satisfied BY THE MISDIRECTED VALUE
ITSELF.

⚠️ THE REASON IT WAS LEFT WAS A HALF-TRUTH. "There is no roster yet - the
`Inverter`s restore their latch in their constructors." The KEYS must be written
before the `Inverter`s read them; the NAMES do not come from the `Inverter`s.
`roster_names(opts)` reads them off the options before anything is constructed -
which is exactly what it already existed to do for `MqttPublisher` - and returns
`[UNIT_A]` on the flat shape, so today's upgrade path is byte-identical.

TWO EDITS, AND THEY DO DIFFERENT JOBS. Measured per leg by reverting each one:

                          SAME-STEP leg          STAGED leg
  both edits (shipped)    clean                  latch armed, litter reported
  guard reverted          latch armed            ⚠️ DISARMED
  call site reverted      latch armed, litter    latch armed, litter

So the GUARD carries the safety and the CALL SITE carries the hygiene and the
withheld marker. The table is in test_rehearse.py part 5 because a reader who
assumed the roster-aware migration re-arms the latch would delete the guard as
redundant in a tidy-up and take the STAGED column with it - and STAGED is what
"upgrade now, declare the roster later" produces, which is the path an operator
actually takes. Only the guard reaches an install already stamped by 0.9.0.

⚠️ AND "OFF THE ROSTER" ALONE WAS TOO BLUNT, WHICH test_inverter.py CAUGHT. The
first draft treated every off-roster latch as litter. In DEV-02's restart case
the store carries `unit/inverter-b/sign_tripped = True` from B's own trip while
the roster being graded holds only A - and the blunt rule re-armed a HEALTHY A
off the flat key B's trip had mirrored. DEV-02's defect rebuilt inside its own
guard, which is what the paragraph I was overruling had been right to fear.

Narrowed to `UNIT_A`, which is the only name the broken migration ever wrote -
`roster_names()` falls back to a POSITIONAL `inverter-N`, so `inverter-a` is not
a name this code hands to anyone else. A latch stranded under any other name is
a real unit out of today's config and still counts as protection. Residual,
stated in the code rather than left to be found: a site whose own first unit is
NAMED `inverter-a`, latched, then taken out of the roster gets re-armed on
`inverters[0]` - a healthy unit held at 0 W until an operator clears it. The
conservative direction, against a site DRIVING on a file that says it is latched.

⭐ AND FIXING THE CODE EXPOSED A FALSE POSITIVE IN THE HARNESS. With the latch
now landing under `garage`, `rehearse_roster.py` reported VANISHED STORE KEY for
`unit/inverter-a/sign_tripped` three lines above the same value sitting under
`unit/garage/sign_tripped`. A key that moved to a namespace a machine reads has
not vanished - and an alarm that fires on the harmless case is one an operator
learns to dismiss before the real one arrives, which is CONTROL-C's own
argument. The test is not "the name appears somewhere": same bare key, same
value, under a key in `machine_read`, the set built by driving a real start. A
latch that genuinely went missing has no such key and is still a finding, which
M3 (delete the flat rollback view) still measures red.

Test parts replaced deliberately, as both of them asked to be:
  - test_rehearse.py part 5 asserted the defect "as REQUIREMENTS so that a fix
    turns them red". It now asserts the fix, with 5b and 5c as negative controls
    - one per edit - and 5b doubles as the leg-splitter's positive control,
    since reverting the guard is the build where the two legs DISAGREE.
  - test_maintenance.py section 13 was headed "RECORDED, NOT FIXED" and said the
    fixing card "should expect them to go red and should replace them". Replaced,
    plus two cases it could not have had: the already-stamped store, and the
    `inverter-b` negative control for the narrowing above.

28/28 files pass. Not run: nothing - this is host-side only, no rig, no hardware.

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.

Claude 090a8ecc35 SAFETY-42 round 2: pin the two thresholds at a config that is not the shipped one
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 6m7s
THE BLOCKER. At the `delinquent()` call site, `self.tuning.saturation_w` ->
`250.0` (-19 B) was a survivor of all 23 suites. It is not an equivalent
mutant: two copies of inverter A, B wedged, `saturation_w: 1800` (inside its
own schema int(100,2000)) and a load of 1600 W put B's shortfall strictly
between the literal and the configured value - head names nobody, the mutant
names B. At the shipped 500 both name it, which is exactly why every fixture
in part 4 was blind: their gaps are all above both thresholds.

It matters beyond a mutation score. `delivery.py`'s MIN_W_IS_SATURATION_W note
and the `delivery_hold_s` block in config.yaml both promise an operator, in
shipped prose, that there is no fourth copy of a threshold to keep in step and
no way for the two to drift - raise `saturation_w` and this check moves with
you. A literal at the call site removes exactly that promise, silently, and
the promise is why the design was chosen over a `delivery_w` key.

ASKING THE SAME QUESTION OF EVERY OTHER NUMBER THIS CHECK READS FOUND A SECOND
SURVIVOR OF ALL 23 SUITES: `bms_floor=inv.bms_soc_floor` -> `10.0` (-13 B),
invisible because config.yaml's own example states 10 % and every fixture in
this file used it. Two arms bracket it: a pack at 15 % against its own 25 %
cut-out is cold and must stay unnamed (the literal names an empty pack), and a
pack at 8 % against its own 5 % cut-out is wedged and must be named (the
literal explains the fault away). One arm on each side leaves no constant at
all.

`delivery_hold_s` and `is_live()`'s window were ALREADY pinned - the fixtures
had to move them to run - and `LINK_STALE_S` has no option behind it, so
"pinned across a changed config" is not available for it and is not claimed.
DECISIONS section 9 enumerates all of it with the deltas and which check kills
which.

Verified in the CI image, tree mounted :ro, `python3 -B`, `__pycache__` purged
and counted before every run (TEST-15):
  R5 saturation_w -> 250.0                    -19 B  killed by part 4b(a)
  R6 bms_soc_floor -> 10.0                    -13 B  killed by part 4b(b), both arms
  R7 arm(self.delivery_cfg) -> DeliveryConfig()  -1 B  killed (already)
  R8 is_live(now) -> is_live(now, 3600.0)      +8 B  killed (already)
  R9 pack cut-out -> conjoined site floor    +105 B  killed twice
  head: 23/23 test files PASS, no bytecode written during the run.

No shipped behaviour changes: the only edits to app/ are comments.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 706e625d99 SAFETY-42: a unit that stops delivering, and the discriminator the card asked for does not exist
A unit standing at a non-zero share and producing nothing is seen by NOTHING.
SAFETY-30's per-unit sign gate needs OPPOSITION on both sides of 250 W and a
unit at 0 W is not opposing, it is ABSENT. The site sum still agrees with the
meter in direction. Circulating power is exactly zero when one unit does
nothing. The only trace left is `reason == "saturated-freeze"`, which
clamp.py:93-96 documents as the alarm an operator learns to ignore. It is
HW-01's shape, which ran 6 h 25 m with all three layers spectators.

⚠️ THE CARD'S OWN DISCRIMINATOR WAS BUILT FIRST AND FALSIFIED, AND THAT IS THE
MAIN CONTENT. SAFETY-42 asks for "saturation persisting past N while
|grid error| > X, both derived". Run on the two-master rig it fails in BOTH
directions, and no (N, X) fixes either:

  FALSE POSITIVE  `plantsim.Plant.limit()` returns 0 W for a discharge command
      into a pack at its own floor, and a wedged unit produces 0 W too. Load
      2000 W, equal weights, 2000 W per-unit cap, 120 cycles: THE TWO ARMS ARE
      IDENTICAL ON ALL 120 in grid, site target, every share and every measured
      watt. Both saturated-freeze on 116 of them, both hold |grid error| over
      300 W on all 120 and settle at 1200 W, both read circulating 0.0 W. The
      predicate's inputs do not differ, so no threshold on them can differ. And
      "a cold pack at its floor must not alarm" is the card's own AC 2.

  FALSE NEGATIVE  the standing grid error is what a HEALTHY SIBLING ERASES.
      Load 800 W, same config, B wedged: over the last 30 of 200 cycles the loop
      is frozen on 30 of 30 while the worst |grid error| is 30 W, with B standing
      at +770 W and delivering 0 W. Any X above 30 W is silent for the whole run
      on the exact fault the card describes.

WHAT REPLACES IT. Per unit, for a discharge share, `share - measured`; readable
because of a reduction that only exists at N>=2:

    a unit is named while it is short by more than `saturation_w` with NO
    ACCOUNT for it, and the units in that state are a PROPER SUBSET of the units
    asked to discharge.

THE ACCOUNT keeps the cold pack out and is the only thing that can: the two
cases are identical in the power domain, so the discriminator has to be a
non-power fact, and there is exactly one - the pack's own SoC against its own
`bms_soc_floor`, asked through `peakguard.discharge_permitted()` rather than
transcribed. ⚠️ `bms_soc_floor` ALONE, not `pack_floor_pct()`'s conjunction with
`peak_soc_floor`: that floor bounds a money-saving discharge only and using it
would explain away a wedged unit anywhere between the two.

THE PROPER SUBSET keeps a whole-site cause out - a derate this add-on cannot see
hits every unit; one box that stopped listening does not - and it is what makes
this INERT AT N=1, by algebra rather than by a roster guard.

IT REPORTS. IT DOES NOT ACT, and the strongest argument is for acting. Dropping
the wedged unit from `live` genuinely recovers a site the shipped path does not:
at load 1500 W, kept in the split the site settles at 800 W with a 700 W error
and NEVER comes inside 100 W in 150 cycles (the freeze pins the target, so the
sibling's SHARE never grows); dropped, it delivers 1500 W from cycle 14. What
refuses it is that the only re-allocation this add-on can express is
all-or-nothing: a unit derated to 50 % is short by more than saturation_w with
nothing to explain it, so this detector names it too, and at load 3000 W
dropping it leaves the site delivering 2000 W against 2400 W kept - 400 W WORSE.
A partial re-allocation is what would make acting safe and the allocator cannot
express it. That is a card.

control.py is NOT MODIFIED. The freeze shapes the loop; this reports on it.

NUMBERS, MEASURED. The watts side is `Tuning.saturation_w`, read at runtime, so
there is no fourth CFG-03 copy and it cannot drift from the number the control
law itself calls "not following". `delivery_hold_s: 185` comes off 2640
closed-loop two-inverter runs in which nothing is faulty (6 gains x 5 slews over
the whole schema range, across load reversals, a flapping load and ASYMMETRIC
SPLITS - a family SAFETY-30's campaign did not have and the one that dominates
here) plus 1890 runs at a roster of ONE as the control:

    threshold   reversals   flapping   weighted   N=1 control
     * 500 W      20.0 s      0.0 s      30.0 s      0.0 s

The N=1 column is 0.0 s at EVERY threshold in all 1890 runs, and the flapping
column - the family that defeated SAFETY-30's site window - is zero too, because
a common stimulus makes both units short at once and the subset stops being
proper. ⚠️ The curve is NOT monotone (55.0 s at 250 W against 40.0 s at 100 W):
lowering the threshold can turn a proper subset into the whole roster and BREAK
the run.

⚠️ THE MARGIN IS MEASURED, NOT FELT, BECAUSE INVERTER B DOES NOT PHYSICALLY
EXIST. `plantsim.INVERTER_B` is A COPIED, `measured=False`, so every two-inverter
figure above is two copies of A. Sweeping a different second unit: the worst
legitimate episode is insensitive to B's RAMP (30.0 s at half A's) and scales
with its LAG - 45.0 s at twice A's measured 10 s, 90.0 s at four times it.
185 s is 6.2x the measured worst, 2.06x the four-times-slower case, 6.2x
LINK_STALE_S and 4.9x inside the 900 s quarter. Deliberately not 180, which is
SAFETY-02's site hold.

SAFETY-34. `unit/<name>/delivery_tripped` in the store, one notification id per
unit, re-raised on the first cycle of every process, cleared by the Start press.
No flat mirror: a rollback lands on a version that drives one actuator, where
this check is inert.

⚠️ SCHEMA CHANGE - `delivery_hold_s` joins options: and schema:, so this needs a
version bump before it ships. Additive and defaulted, so an existing options blob
stays valid.

STATED GAPS: charge shares are not graded (no configured charge ceiling exists,
so a constant-voltage taper cannot be explained and arming it would fire on every
maintenance charge); every unit wedged at once is not caught (the subset is not
proper and no instrument here separates that from a plant that cannot).

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 26c5ee8adc TEL-07: a second MQTT device for inverter B, and A keeps the one it has
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 4m58s
MQTT discovery announced ONE device and hung every entity off one unique_id
prefix, so at two inverters B's per-unit telemetry had nowhere to go. It has
somewhere now, and not one entity that already exists moved.

⚠️ THE ASYMMETRY IS DELIBERATE. The first roster entry's per-unit rows are
announced on THE DEVICE IT ALREADY HAS; every later entry gets its own device,
via_device the controller. "One device per inverter" is tidier and is the change
that renames every entity on the live install - and because HA keeps the id it
composed at FIRST discovery, a rename produces a NEW entity beside a DEAD one:
the history stays behind and every dashboard, template and automation naming it
goes on pointing at a sensor that quietly stopped updating, including the three
live watchdog automations. The composed ids come out symmetric anyway
(sensor.goodwe_inverter_a_battery_power / ..._inverter_b_...), so the tidy
design's only real benefit is bought here without its cost.

  * four per-unit rows - setpoint, battery power, SoC, SAFETY-02 sign latch -
    announced only from a roster of two. At N=1 nothing is announced and
    nothing is published: no second device, no renamed entity, no added topic.
  * grid and p1_sample_age_s stay SITE-scoped and are announced ONCE, at every
    roster length 1-6. One P1, one grid connection, and p1_sample_age_s is a
    watchdog input - a second copy is a second answer to "is the meter fresh?".
  * inverter.roster_names() is the one answer to what the units are called,
    read by build_roster() and by the publisher, which must know the roster
    before a Controller exists because announcing happens on the CONNACK.
  * DECISIONS/TEL-07-second-mqtt-device.md records the two designs side by side.

VERIFIED BY DIFFING THE ANNOUNCED PAYLOADS, not by reading the code. The
release/1.0 baseline in test_mqtt.py was generated by running that commit's
module, not transcribed. Roster of one: 9 topics, 0 missing, 0 changed, 0 added.
Roster of two: 0 missing, 0 changed, 8 added.

MEASURED, NOT ASSERTED. Sixteen mutations through tools/mutation_run.sh; twelve
are in the file as a running table, each named with the property it breaks.
Three of those properties exist because the table found their ABSENCE - dropping
the unit from the state topic, moving `grid` into the per-unit set, and
`units=()` in main()'s publisher call were all GREEN on the first run, as was a
roster fallback naming two nameless entries `inverter-a`. Part 9 enumerates what
the file still cannot see, with sizes.

⚠️ INVERTER B DOES NOT PHYSICALLY EXIST (~2026-09-12). Every roster of two here
is SIMULATED, from the datasheet and serial in NOTES.md §1.1b. Nothing about B
has been measured and no entity described here has been seen on a broker.

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.
