glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 71cd7849e4 Merge release/1.0 (SAFETY-07) into FCST-03, and close two degenerate stimuli
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 3m13s
CHANGELOG.md was the entire collision - SAFETY-07 lands in peakguard.py, main.py
and the arbiter, none of which this branch touches. Both entries kept.

X1. `_firm_or_die` guarding only `cheapest` survived, because the check passed
the SAME provisional point as both cheapest and dearest: a guard on either role
alone raises, so the stimulus could not tell "the buy hour is guarded" from
"both are". Now one call per role with a firm point in the other seat, plus the
positive arm so the two refusals are discriminating.

X6. `firm_points()` returning the carried hours too survived, because its two
consumers - the §11.4 refusal and cheap_now - guard provenance independently and
both keep answering correctly. The accessor is now graded directly: exactly the
published points, by identity and in order.

Both are the degeneracy rule this file states at the top, in a new dress - a
stimulus that cannot distinguish the two things it grades.

⚠️ AND THE REASON THE M9 MUTATION "SURVIVED" IN MY EARLIER REPORT: a stale
__pycache__. Reverting `self.provisional` to `here.provisional` changes neither
the file size nor, at one-second resolution, the mtime, so CPython kept the
MUTATED bytecode and a green run afterwards proved nothing about that line. Every
mutation here now clears __pycache__ first; re-run that way, M9 is caught. The
committed source was always correct - the checks were not being run against it.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 dd40c56ab4 FCST-03: yesterday's prices, flagged as yesterday's, and unable to move anything
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 2m43s
§8.3 fills the hours a day-ahead feed has not published yet with yesterday's
profile and flags them provisional, and forbids any irreversible action on such
a price. The whole risk of this ticket is one line - a carried point and a
published point are three fields and a bool, so `provisional=y.provisional`
copies yesterday's False onto today's guess and produces stale data presented as
current. That is SAFETY-18's frozen-but-fresh meter one layer up.

So the flag is never passed through. Carried points come from a constructor with
no provisional parameter; published points pass through BY IDENTITY, so no copy
exists that could lose one; an audit re-derives the expected flag for every
emitted point and raises rather than repairing; and the check walks the module's
own AST so the pass-through idiom cannot come back looking ordinary. A published
point may itself be provisional (eneco_eddy's imbalance print is), so the rule
for a published hour is "whatever the feed said", never False.

The fill keys on the Brussels wall clock rather than t-24h, so the 23- and
25-hour days are right; a late publication rebuilds the series, moving the
number and the flag together.

AC2 and AC3 landed on TARIFF-03's existing verdict surface rather than beside
it. Refusal 3 became "fewer than two FIRM hours" - refusing on "any point is
provisional" would have switched arbitrage off every morning on every dynamic
site - and refusal 5 is new: the spread must clear a threshold widened by the
widest active uncertainty source (max, never a product). The permitting variant
now refuses to be constructed around a provisional point at all, and the
cheap-window flag became per-hour for the same reason.

The irreversible action is a value carrying the hours it commits, derived from
maintenance.py's own DRAIN_TIMEOUT_MIN; the gate blocks a maintenance drain
whose window reaches into a carried hour, and the phase machine stays idle. It
is the price-justified entry point only - a gate that blocked on no_data would
stop the monthly cycle on every default install.

Zero new config options; TEST-14's signature scan ported to cover both Gate's
and Arbitrage's constructors, closing _Refused.reason's open hole.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 c2ed509565 Merge release/1.0 (TARIFF-03) into SAFETY-07
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 3m12s
The anticipated conflict again, and only it: both cards prepend to CHANGELOG.md's
Unreleased section. Both entries kept, SAFETY-07 first. app/main.py and DOCS.md
auto-merged, so the overlap claim on #18 still holds - config.yaml and
validate.py remain untouched by this card even after TARIFF-02 and TARIFF-03
widened both.

Full suite green on the merge result, test_price.py and test_static_tariff.py
included.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 2d570d84ce SAFETY-07 review: defend the three wiring mutations that survived
The reviewer's finding was correct and the shape of it matters: everything the
first cut graded was in peakguard.py, and grading the module is not the same as
grading the guard. Three one-line changes to main.py's CALL SITE left all twelve
suites green while a default install parked at 0 W in the quarter that sets the
month's bill.

B2 was the serious one. My own comment described that defect - "that entity is
optional and empty on a default install, so until now the suspension could not
fire on the site that needed it" - and nothing could regress it. A comment that
documents a fix nobody can test is the same shape as a corrected comment nobody
tests, which this project has already been caught by once.

WHAT CHANGED

The suppression conjunction moved out of main.py and into
peakguard.shaping_suspended(), for the reason watchdog.loop_is_following() and
freeze.looks_frozen() live where they do: the check that grades a safety
predicate must assert on THE SHIPPED EXPRESSION, not on a transcription that can
drift apart from it in silence. Its docstring carries both terms and why neither
is sufficient alone. main.py's call site now says READ THAT FUNCTION FIRST, and
records that a reviewer mutated it back to its historical broken form with every
suite staying green.

test_peakguard.py part 7 gains a section that EXECUTES the three mutations
rather than describing them. Each one is put in place on the shipped module and
the REAL Controller.cycle() is driven with it, on the dangerous fixture: a
default install (no peak_forecast_entity, so peak_fc is None and peak_at_risk is
False forever) with maintenance in its CHARGE phase, so a P_MAINT_SHAPE `hi <= 0`
limit is live, and the guard genuinely engaged on the measurement. That the
mutations are monkeypatched onto the shipped module is itself load-bearing: if
main.py inlined either expression again the patch would do nothing and these
checks would pass vacuously.

    SHIPPED   suspended=True    loop -> 1498 W, limited by peak    +1497.8 W
    B1        suspended=False   CONTRADICTION between limits           0.0 W
    B2        suspended=False   CONTRADICTION between limits           0.0 W
    B2b (forecast term dropped instead) - caught by its own check

B3 is graded three ways, because the single-cycle form is only INFLATED and the
failure is what happens on the next cycle:

  * the value main.py actually hands decide() is recorded off the real call, with
    the measured battery at 0 W and the command standing at +3000 W;
  * the one-cycle difference is asserted to be exactly the standing command - the
    whole defect in one line, watts that were asked for and never arrived counted
    as if they had;
  * both forms are then run forward against the REAL controller's own projection
    with an inverter that never follows:

        intent-sized floor    4482 5000 5000 5000 ...  SATURATED at cycle 2
        delivered-power floor 1482 1482 1482 1482 ...  stationary

  * and the call site is graded on parsed syntax, so a rename cannot quietly
    reintroduce it: `decide(batt_w=...)` must unparse to `self.batt`.

SAFETY-24 is now named in peakguard.py, in its own section, with the number that
makes it real - 878 Wh of forced discharge on the 2026-08-20 replay - and the
statement that this must not go to a client install before that ticket lands. A
ticket nobody can find from the code is a ticket nobody reads before shipping.

RED AND GREEN

Fifteen mutations run against the shipped modules, each reverted after: the six
new wiring ones (B1, B2, B2b, B3, B3b, and deleting the SAFETY-24 pointer) and
the eight from the first round, re-run to confirm they still bite. All fifteen
turn test_peakguard.py red. Full suite green, test_price.py and TARIFF-03's
included.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 9f8b721a4d Merge release/1.0 (TARIFF-02) into SAFETY-07
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 3m9s
Conflict was the one anticipated: both cards prepend to CHANGELOG.md's
Unreleased section. Both entries kept, SAFETY-07 first. Nothing else of
TARIFF-02's surface (app/price.py, validate.py rule 7, config.yaml, DOCS.md)
overlaps this card - config.yaml and validate.py are untouched here, so the
CFG-03 check still reads a config.yaml that only TARIFF-02 has widened.

Full suite green on the merge result, test_price.py included.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 303525cfc5 TARIFF-03: static day/night and fully-fixed tariffs, first-class
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 2m43s
§9.2 puts a large share of the Belgian installed base on a static profile, and
an EMS that only works under dynamic pricing is an EMS for a minority. A new
`static_profile` option describes a two-period day/night tariff - or a single
fixed price - and app/static_tariff.py turns it into the same canonical
{start, eur_per_kwh, provisional} series the fetched providers emit.

Not a sixth provider plugin, for two mechanical reasons. capabilities() is a
classmethod, so a plugin's PriceProduct is fixed when the class is written -
but §9.2 makes STATIC and FIXED two different products and which one a site is
on is a property of the operator's data; StaticProfile.product derives it from
the number of distinct prices. And the plugin framework exists to stop a
FETCHED figure being marked up twice, which a number typed as all-in cannot be.
So the profile sits where §11.4 already says it does - under the providers, as
the fallback. Configured product and feed-is-down are one generator differing
in one flag, so the degradation path cannot rot unused.

"No arbitrage" is a type. TariffPlan.arbitrage() returns a variant whose
ALLOWED arm carries the spread and the cheapest/dearest hours and whose REFUSED
arm carries a reason and nothing else - .spread_eur_kwh on a refusal raises
rather than answering 0.0, so an optimiser cannot compute a trade from one.
Four refusals, all derived: peak guard holding, no price data, plan
provisional, or the series is FLAT. The last is AC2: a fixed tariff disables
arbitrage by arithmetic, not by matching on an enum. peak_guard_active is a
required keyword argument, so §10.1's priority 2 over 3 cannot be skipped.

Time-window shifting reaches the one shiftable load that exists: main.py's
cheap-window flag falls back to the static profile, and the UI gained a Tariff
row. Cheap is STRICTLY below the seven-day mean - `<=` would call every hour of
a flat tariff cheap, and 48 h taken on a Friday is two-thirds weekend.

A profile must tile every day type exactly once, checked at startup; a gap is
refused with the range named rather than filled in. `22:00-07:00 mon-fri` does
not cover Saturday morning, and that trap is what the check catches.

validate.py rule 7's stated reason expired exactly as TARIFF-02 predicted: the
test_price.py section 12 tripwire went red naming static_tariff.py. The message
now says what is true instead, and the tripwire is re-aimed rather than removed
- consumer set pinned, expired phrase asserted gone. Rule 7 also grew a second
refusal for static_profile alongside the HA price pair, the same silent-loser
conflict and a live one.

CFG-03 is not widened: static_profile went into price.py's PRICE_OPTION_DEFAULTS
- the one in-code mirror pinned to config.yaml by a check - and the new module
carries no defaults dict of its own.

Measured on the two committed days of this house's real P1 meter. 2026-08-20
(Thursday): 15.220 kWh imported, 9.606 day / 5.614 night, EUR 4.7185 under
day/night vs EUR 4.6725 flat, shifting saves EUR 0.8069 = 9.606 kWh x the
0.0840 spread, derived twice. 2026-08-23 (Sunday): 0.728 kWh, all of it
night-priced, which is the weekend row proving itself. §17 names six Belgian
scenarios; this is the seventh, and it is two days rather than a season - the
file says so rather than implying an annual figure.

All 12 suites green. Eleven mutations of static_tariff.py were each caught by
at least one check.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 616b62d3e9 SAFETY-07: cap the loop before it sets the month's billed capacity peak
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 3m7s
TARIFF-01 measured the quarter and said the consumer would be this card. It is
one new module, app/peakguard.py, and one new claim.

THE MECHANISM. Every cycle the guard projects the open 900 s block to its
end-of-interval average - from P1 telegrams only, never from the command - and
compares it to a ceiling. Over the ceiling it files ONE arbiter claim: a lower
bound on the setpoint at P_PEAK. That single shape is both behaviours 10.1 asks
for, a hard clamp on charging and pre-emptive discharge, and it cannot cap
discharge or export, because a floor cannot. 9.1's asymmetry becomes a property
of the object instead of a rule to remember.

    excess = 900 x (projected - ceiling) / seconds remaining
    floor  = MEASURED battery power + excess

The 900/remaining gain is 1.0 at the top of the quarter and grows, so the guard
is gentlest where its projection rests on the least evidence. The floor is sized
from delivered battery power, not the standing command: a floor built on intent
re-adds its own unmet ask every cycle and winds to the rail whenever the inverter
fails to follow, and test_peakguard.py part 1 shows the two diverging.

IT TRIPS, AND THE CAPTURES DECIDED THAT. On the healthy reference day it engages
on zero of 95 quarters. The action is level-triggered, unlatched and re-derived
every cycle, so a false engagement costs one cycle of discharge rather than a
parked battery - the cost SAFETY-18 could not bound and this one can. Replayed on
2026-08-20 the billed quarter goes from 5029.8 W, above the inverter's own 5000 W
rating, to 3485 W, under the soft limit and without saturating. Quarters under
the limit across both committed days: 189/190 -> 190/190. Two days is not thirty
and AC 3 remains TARIFF-01's open item.

BLINDNESS IS CHECKED BEFORE THE PROJECTION IS GRADED, and it is a different
action. A fresh averager projects a confident 0 W, which is under every ceiling
there is; a meter gap longer than meter_max_age_s makes the projection read LOW;
a frozen meter reading export projects 0 W at full coverage. All three become a
floor of 0 W - no importing while the billed quantity is unobservable - which is
one-directional and cannot cost pack energy. That is the backstop SAFETY-18 could
not be: its alarm arrives at 300 s of a 900 s quarter and commands nothing. The
frozen term is freeze.looks_frozen() itself, on this cycle's standing command.

THE CEILING IS peak_cap_w, RAISED ONLY BY AN OBSERVED READING. NO_RECORD and
NOT_OBSERVED both leave it at the cap, so an unreadable peak store makes the
guard stricter and never looser. The gate is the reading's STATE, not whether a
number happens to be attached: today a `peak_w is not None` test behaves
identically, and depending on that coincidence is how a future last-known-peak
field would raise the ceiling off a read that failed. headroom_w() is
deliberately not consumed - cap minus peak turns a zero peak into FULL freedom.

TWO DEFECTS FOUND BUILDING IT, both in the interaction rather than the
arithmetic, and both caught by running the thing rather than by reading it:

  * A LIMIT does not out-vote another LIMIT. arbiter.resolve() applies every
    limit at or above the winner's priority and takes the most restrictive, so
    the peak floor (lo >= 0) and the maintenance charge-only shaping (hi <= 0)
    resolved to a CONTRADICTION and 0 W - the battery parked in the exact quarter
    it should shave. Fixed by suppression, not priority: main.py drops the
    maintenance shaping while the guard is engaged, which is what that branch
    already did for the optional peak_forecast_entity - a key empty on a default
    install, so until now the suspension could not fire on the site that needed
    it.
  * Thresholding `excess > 0` released the claim the instant it began working,
    producing seventeen engage/release cycles in one 900 s quarter and leaving
    that quarter 49 W over the limit it had spent fifteen minutes holding. That
    is 10.2's oscillation. The threshold is now the floor itself, which is the
    same arithmetic read as a level rather than as a switch.

PeakTracker.project() no longer reads a private name with a default.
getattr(averager, "_last_net", 0.0) failed quiet AND disarming - a rename credits
0 W held, the projection reads low, the money guard does not engage.
QuarterAverager.held_net_w is a documented public property now, read without a
default, and Projection carries it. TEST-13 item 4.

NO NEW OPTION AND NO FOURTH DEFAULTS SITE. The ceiling is peak_cap_w, the
coverage threshold is meter_max_age_s, the freeze predicate is meter_freeze_s,
and the achievable discharge comes from max_w and the device rating. config.yaml
and validate.py are untouched; 14's capacity_peak_limit_kw stays declined. On
meter_source: off there are no telegrams, so the guard does not run at all and
the status page says NOT COVERED - running it there blinded it permanently and
stopped every legacy install from charging, which is what the first cut did until
test_clamp.py's export case caught it.

test_peakguard.py: eight parts, all figures derived from the shipped config.yaml
and the committed captures. Part 8 runs seven one-line defeats of the guard and
reports which check bites; six do, and the seventh is reported as NOT caught,
because max(cap, peak) makes a zero peak the strictest ceiling there is and there
is nothing left to catch.

adminandClaude Opus 5 862f0fa574 Merge release/1.0 (TARIFF-01) into TARIFF-02
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 2m39s
TARIFF-01 (#17) landed on release/1.0 first, so this branch was two
commits behind and Gitea reported the PR unmergeable. Integrating rather
than rebasing: the two reviewed commits stay addressable, and the branch
is protected against force-push anyway.

ONE CONFLICT, AND IT IS THE BORING HALF OF THE ONE REVIEW PREDICTED.
Review of #16 expected collisions in four places - the tail of
`options:`, the tail of `schema:`, the rule list inside
validate_startup_config(), and the tail of validate.py. None of them
happened: TARIFF-01 touched neither config.yaml nor validate.py. It
added app/tariff.py, test_tariff.py, two P1 scenario captures, and edits
to main.py and p1.py, none of which this branch goes near.

The only conflict was CHANGELOG.md, where both branches prepended a
block under the same `## Unreleased` heading. Both blocks kept, TARIFF-02
above TARIFF-01 since it lands second. Nothing was dropped or reworded on
either side, and the resolution adds no line of its own beyond the blank
one between them.

Checked rather than assumed after the merge:
  - all ELEVEN test files pass, including TARIFF-01's own test_tariff.py
    (which this branch had never run) and the 93 s test_loop.py;
  - the 24-mutation battery still has 0 survivors;
  - no semantic overlap in config: TARIFF-01's peak tracker reads the
    peak_cap_w / peak_forecast_entity options that already existed, so
    the price options added here neither shadow nor duplicate anything.

adminandClaude Opus 5 e102cde841 TARIFF-02 review: close the three other doors to the markup, and stop overclaiming
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 2m34s
Review of PR #16 wrote a double-counting plugin four ways. PluginOptions
blocked one. The one that decided it touched nothing but
PRICE_OPTION_DEFAULTS - a public dict in the module every plugin must
already import for register() - so "the number is not in scope" was
simply false, and an absolute guarantee a reviewer trusts is worse than
a stated limit, because they stop checking.

register() now refuses, AT IMPORT, any plugin whose own code mentions a
framework-owned name: FRAMEWORK_KEYS plus PRICE_OPTION_DEFAULTS,
price_option and _o. code_leaks() parses the class and drops every
docstring node before searching, because every plugin is REQUIRED to
name its sourced components in prose - engie_dynamic says "markup" in
its docstring and a raw text scan false-positives on the documentation
the same file mandates. A check that fires on required documentation is
a check somebody deletes. test_price.py asserts that a raw scan really
would have false-positived, so the strip is proven load-bearing rather
than asserted.

It fails OPEN if inspect.getsource() cannot find the .py, which the
add-on image always can. Refusing to start a battery controller because
a static analysis could not run would trade a real outage for a
hypothetical accounting error - so instead the checks assert source was
found for all five shipped plugins, and a build that lost it is a red
check rather than a quietly disarmed guard.

All three reachable attacks are written out as plugins in the suite and
each must be refused at registration. The cost is measured, not
asserted: honest wholesale 0.188, every attack 0.219 - one markup high,
every hour, invisible in every log this add-on writes.

The guarantee is now stated at its true size everywhere it appears: the
framework adds the complement exactly once, GIVEN A CORRECT sources
DECLARATION. A plugin that declares {ENERGY} while its feed is all-in
still doubles while touching no framework name, and no code can catch
that - the declaration is an unverifiable claim about somebody else's
tariff. Measured in the suite (0.276) so the limit is a number rather
than a caveat. The docstring/declaration check verifies that a plugin's
two claims AGREE, not that either is true; that now says so.

The three surviving mutations:

M3 - _NoData's reason taking a default. This is the identical survivor
left open on RIG-01's _Unread.cause: the shape was borrowed from
sim/riglock.py including its blind spot, which is what borrowing a shape
does if nobody re-runs the mutations against the copy. Closed by
SIGNATURE - no constructor or handler of an outcome type may carry a
default - so the next one is red without anyone writing a new case.

M5 - the ENERGY-required guard was untested. Its consequence is that
adds becomes {ENERGY, TAXES} and the emitted price silently omits the
energy it is pricing.

M7 - deleting the TLS refusal went green AND the check named for it
still passed, because the old parser stripped a fixed len("https://")
and mangled http://api.energy-charts.info/p into the host
pi.energy-charts.info, which then failed the ALLOW-LIST. An assertion
that does not test what it names, inside a security check. Fixed on both
sides: the scheme is parsed as a scheme, so an http URL now resolves to
its real and declared host and only the TLS rule can refuse it; and the
check asserts the REASON. Fixing it surfaced M7b - the no-scheme guard
was survivable the same way - found by mutating my own fix, and closed
the same way.

Also carried forward: rule 7's refusal is correct forever but its stated
reason ("the provider decides nothing") expires the moment TARIFF-03 or
OPT-04 lands. test_price.py section 12 now greps app/ by AST for a
load_prices consumer and goes red when one appears, telling whoever
lands it to update the message in the same commit. The first draft of
that tripwire used a substring and matched the comment in validate.py
explaining the tripwire - the same false-positive class as the plugin
docstrings, hit twice in one ticket, and fixed the same way.

Documented rather than coded around: vars(read).get("points", []) and
bool(read) both still get past the absence type, and neither is worth
code - defining __bool__ would turn a line that reads like a guard into
one that IS a guard by accident, which is how .get(k, default) got here
in the first place.

Stated plainly in DOCS/CHANGELOG/PR: every fixture is synthetic, so the
five feed URLs and JSON shapes are verified against a belief about what
those suppliers publish rather than against the feeds. A wrong shape
degrades to no-price-data, not to a wrong price.

Review's own DST verification recorded: 149,040 hourly instants,
2020-2036, zero mismatches against zoneinfo. The residual is political,
not arithmetic, and the docstring now says so.

24 mutations driven through the suite, 0 survivors. Whole add-on suite
green. No deleted lines outside this ticket's own files; main.py still
untouched.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 f4914a174a TARIFF-01: measure the month's billed peak, and make it survive a restart
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 2m38s
The 15-minute block average was already built and unwired. p1.QuarterAverager
computes clock-aligned 900 s blocks, time-weighted over irregular telegram
spacing, offtake-only and per-phase; P1Ingest.blocks was a 96-entry list in
memory that a restart erased. So this is the persistence and the monthly
reduction, not a second accumulator - a second one would be a second source of
truth for the exact quantity the money depends on.

BLOCKS, NOT A SLIDING WINDOW. The card says "rolling"; 9.1 bills "the highest
15-minute average offtake" and states its own worked case per QUARTER - one
4998 W quarter moving a monthly peak from 4832 to 5013 W. A trailing window
reports a peak the meter never bills, and reports it HIGH: a burst straddling
:15 fills the window completely while contributing to two block averages at
partial weight.

DELIVERED, NOT INTENDED. tariff.py only ever sees P1Sample - the meter's own
reading - and never a setpoint. SAFETY-20's open question does not arise for a
capacity tariff: the utility integrates the current that flowed.

AN UNREADABLE STORE IS NOT A ZERO PEAK. peak() answers OBSERVED / NO_RECORD /
NOT_OBSERVED with peak_w None unless observed, which is riglock.holder()'s fix
applied to something that spends money. A peak read as 0 W hands SAFETY-07
maximum headroom and disarms the guard at the moment its own storage breaks.

Restart mid-block resumes the accumulator through a new snapshot()/restore()
pair, checkpointed every 15 s and cleared in the same breath as a block close.
The held sample keeps its ORIGINAL timestamp, so an outage is integrated under
the same max_hold_s rule a running process would apply. quarter_start is the
primary key and a re-bank may only ever RAISE a figure.

Calendar months are LOCAL: a quarter starting 22:15 UTC on 31 August bills in
September.

No new option (the limit is the existing peak_cap_w), so config.yaml and
validate.py are untouched and CFG-03 is not widened. No second peak entity:
peak_forecast_entity stays the input to maintenance_charge_floor(), because
repointing that consumer changes what moves energy and belongs to SAFETY-07.

AC 3 is NOT met. It asks for 30 days of replay; two days of this house's real
meter exist and are committed here. test_tariff.py part 9 replays them, reports
the percentage next to the sample size in days, and asserts nothing about 95 %.

adminandClaude Opus 5 852fc7ced6 TARIFF-02: one canonical price format, and a seam that keeps supplier names out of the optimiser
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 2m33s
Five provider plugins - generic_dayahead, engie_dynamic,
totalenergies_dynamic, eneco_eddy, manual_csv - all emitting exactly
{"prices": [{"start", "eur_per_kwh", "provisional"}]}, tz-aware at the
Brussels offset, EUR/kWh, all-in. Nothing consumes it yet; the seam
lands first, per the PM's ordering.

It is built in goodwe_controller/app/ rather than at specs.md 2.2's
ems/ingest/prices/, per the product owner's decision of 2026-08-30. The
behaviour 9.3 / 8.3 / 11.4 specifies is unchanged.

Three things shape the design, and each is the mechanism rather than a
comment saying to be careful:

Double-counting the markup is unreachable. A plugin does not return a
price - it returns the figure its source published and declares which of
{energy, markup, taxes} that figure already contains. assemble() adds
the complement, once, in the framework. A plugin is never handed
price_markup_eur_kwh: PluginOptions raises FrameworkOption on it, so the
line that adds the margin a second time cannot be written. Engie and
TotalEnergies publish a retail figure with their margin inside; adding
the configured 3 c/kWh on top would have made every arbitrage decision
wrong by that amount with nothing reporting it.

The product type is declared, not inferred from the plugin's name.
eneco_eddy is real-time/imbalance and gets 8.3's widened thresholds
through capabilities().product and volatility_regime(), never through a
name comparison - which is AC2. test_price.py asserts mechanically that
no plugin id appears anywhere in the framework's code, and drives a
sixth provider defined inside the test file to the right regime with
price.py untouched.

"No price data" is a type, not an empty list - the same rework
sim/riglock.py took under TEST-04. A fetch returns PriceRead.series(...)
or PriceRead.no_data(reason), and only the first carries fields. An
empty series is not constructible; no_data has no .points, no .at(), and
.get("points", []) raises rather than returning the default. A day of
free electricity and a day with no prices are different instructions -
arbitrage is pointless under one and forbidden under the other - and an
implementation returning [] cannot tell them apart. Every site-level
failure returns no_data; nothing raises into the control tick.

Also: injection stays a separate scalar (export_price_eur_kwh, AC4),
negative prices survive the boundary validator (17's regression case),
egress is allow-listed against each plugin's own declaration (16), and
no tzdata is used - the shipped Alpine image has none, so Brussels
offsets come from the EU rule and instants are carried as UTC.

validate.py grows rule 7: an unknown provider id, manual_csv with no
path, and - the HA overlap the PM told us to decide about -
price_provider set alongside price_now_entity/price_avg_entity, which is
two price sources where the HA pair silently wins. The HA sensors are
kept and still work alone; TARIFF-03 and OPT-04 are what replace them.

CFG-03 is not widened: the price defaults have ONE in-code mirror,
PRICE_OPTION_DEFAULTS, which validate.py imports rather than restating
and which test_price.py pins to config.yaml by reading the file.

test_price.py is runnable, assert-free in the house style, and every
verdict it prints is derived. It grades the markup arithmetic with
0.031/0.057 rather than the shipped 0.03/0.06, because 0.06 is exactly
twice 0.03 and a degenerate pair would make double-counting
indistinguishable from correct addition - and it asserts that
non-degeneracy as its first section. The DST checks run on the 23-hour
and 25-hour days, not on a normal day where a fixed 24-slot
implementation and a correct one agree. Thirteen mutations were driven
through it; all thirteen go red.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 0942228d65 Merge release/1.0 (SAFETY-03) into TEST-06
checks / unit (pull_request) Canceled after 0s
Two conflicts, both predicted, both mine as the later merger.

app/main.py - #12 inserted `await self.check_output_clamp()` on the line
immediately above `await self.check_meter_frozen()`, so its hunk abuts my
comment correction. Resolved so EACH CALL CARRIES ITS OWN BOUNDARY,
because the two guards do not share one:

  - check_output_clamp() reads `self.clamp_last`, which is None until
    write_setpoint() has run, so its boundary IS the write;
  - check_meter_frozen() grades `self.target`, assigned further up, so
    its boundary is the assignment.

Letting my correction generalise across both would have been worse than
the vague comment it replaces, because it would read as deliberate. The
AST of app/main.py is identical to merged release/1.0 (+1251 bytes, all
comment).

test_freeze.py - #12 independently added `frozen_notes()` keyed on the
same id. `notes_of()` subsumes it: same id, plus the title fallback that
keeps the id's own check independently falsifiable, plus `all_notes_of()`
for claims about the whole surface.

THE THREE SURFACE-WIDE ASSERTIONS, DECIDED ONE AT A TIME. Measured on the
merged tree:

  scenario                              surface  ids             freeze
  frozen meter, railed command             2     frozen + clamp     1
  TEL-05 converged, -14.2 W                0     -                  0
  moving meter, a real 8 kW load           1     clamp              0
  uncovered transport, no unchanged_s      1     clamp              0

  - the wiring scenario STAYS SURFACE-WIDE and now asserts exactly TWO
    alarms with BOTH IDS NAMED. The answer to "is this still meant to
    raise one alarm" is no, it raises two, and a third guard has to come
    back to this line. That is the one assertion in the file that
    accounts for the controller's entire alarm output;
  - the CONVERGED case stays surface-wide and stays silent: at the
    operating point the whole add-on should have nothing to say, that is
    still true, and narrowing it would give away a real property;
  - the other two NARROW to notes_of(). The clamp alarm there is correct
    and is SAFETY-03's subject: a real 8 kW load does drive the loop past
    the rating, and an uncovered transport does not stop it. Asserting
    whole-surface silence would make this file fail whenever another
    guard correctly does its job. Each still owns the load-bearing half -
    THE FREEZE DETECTOR SAID NOTHING - and the surface is PRINTED so a
    reader sees what else fired without this file grading it.

Re-verified on the merged tree: M1 RED 4, M2 RED 5, M3 RED 3 + RED 2,
N6 RED 1, N3 green (correctly), N8 RED 4, R1 RED 2, R2 RED 1. All nine
suites green.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 4e66583a52 SAFETY-03 review fixes: both clamp stages always run, and two checks that could not fail
1. BEHAVIOURAL, and a regression this PR introduced. clamp_to_rating() returned
early from the max_w stage, so the device bound was applied only when the rating
bound had NOT fired - the bigger the overshoot, the less the guard did. At max_w
5000 against a +-4000 device, +9999 emitted +5000 W, outside the device range,
while +4500 was correctly held to +4000. It undid the pre-PR guarantee "never
send a value the device will reject outright" and undercut this module's own
case for max_w-not-min(), which rests on that stage catching a validation that
did not run. Both stages now always run; the result names both bounds when both
bite (max_w+device). Asserted over a 492-point sweep, because the defect was
invisible to any single-value check sitting inside one stage.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

MAINT-04 (#10) landed on release/1.0 mid-review, so both branches had

CHANGELOG needed a hand. Both stanzas are kept verbatim, MAINT-04's
Unreleased above the new 0.5.2 - no text from either author edited.
MAINT-04 is unreleased and 0.5.2 is being cut here, so a release manager
may want to fold the two; that is an editorial call, not a reviewer's.

Full suite green on the merged tree: arbiter, control, loop, maintenance,
p1, validate, watchdog, freeze.

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

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

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

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

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 0ba3a200fe SAFETY-18: verify on the real rig, and record what it showed
AC3 says "verified on the rig". The previous commit drove hwsim in-process
because `riglock status` reported UNKNOWN - which is the tool declining to
observe, not an observation. riglock shells out to the local docker CLI; on a
Windows host without DOCKER_HOST that resolves to a Docker Desktop npipe which
is not running, and the result is indistinguishable from a genuinely absent rig.
The rig was up the whole time. With DOCKER_HOST=ssh://homelab@192.168.2.147 it
reads FREE.

Re-run under sim/riglock.py against the real goodwe-sim compose project, with
the shipped modules staged into goodwe-sim-plant so they poll that container's
own hwsim while plantsim drives it. Both phases passed, lock released cleanly.

The rig produced a result the in-process stub could not, and it strengthens the
design rather than merely confirming it: in the NEGATIVE twin - +8000 W of house
load, healthy meter, correctly railed command - `active_power_w` did not move at
all, sitting at exactly 10130.0 W for 26 consecutive polls. The only thing
keeping `unchanged_s` at 0.0 s was the kWh registers advancing.

So the register terms in measurement_fingerprint() are not belt-and-braces for
this detector, they ARE the negative case: fingerprinted on the power figure
alone it would have raised a false alarm on a healthy meter under a real load,
which is precisely how a safety guard gets switched off. Recorded in freeze.py
so nobody simplifies the fingerprint without meeting that run first.

No behaviour change - documentation and the harness note only.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 7aa1bd052e SAFETY-18: a meter frozen at a wrong-but-fresh value now raises an alarm
A meter that answers 200 OK with a stale document forever is ARRIVING on every
poll, so every freshness mechanism in the stack reads it as healthy while the
loop integrates a constant error and rails: 360/135/75 s at the live install's
max_w: 5000 for a meter frozen at 350/1000/>=3000 W. Fifteen minutes of a 5 kW
unattended import sets the month's billed capaciteitstarief peak.

The detector is a conjunction, not the bare unchanged_s threshold TEL-05
measured and rejected:

    unchanged_s >= meter_freeze_s   AND   |command| within 5 % of max_w

Both terms already existed and were already on the status page, and they fail
for independent reasons: at the converged point the command is nowhere near the
rail, and at the rail against a real load the kWh registers move in seconds. At
the shipped 300 s the relation is structural rather than a margin - the slowest
a healthy 1 Wh register can tick and still look unchanged is 12 W, which is
inside the 15 W deadband, so the command there is parked at 0 W.

Notification only, deliberately: an HA persistent notification with a fixed
notification_id, an ERROR log line, a UI event and a red status row. No claim,
no latch, no 0 W. A false trip parks the battery; a false notification costs an
alert. Only meter_source: homewizard_local is covered - the status page says
NOT COVERED elsewhere rather than pretending the guard is armed.

DOCS.md states the capacity-tariff exposure this does NOT close: peak_cap_w caps
maintenance charging and nothing caps the loop. That cap is SAFETY-07.

test_freeze.py grades both directions and was verified by breaking what it
watches (six mutations, all red): silent over the committed 40-minute converged
capture, silent over an hour of TEL-05's low-power case where the rejected bare
threshold is shown to fire, alarming on a genuinely frozen meter driven over
real HTTP through the real HomeWizardLocalSource (the rig's own hwsim freeze
fault when reachable), silent on the same railed command against a meter that is
still moving, and asserting on the service call that leaves Controller.cycle()
rather than on the watchdog's own flag.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 878a6ce452 MAINT-04: refuse a maintenance charge the ceiling cannot deliver
config.yaml shipped max_w 2000 against maintenance_charge_w 2500. The
cheap-window shaping files Claim.limit(hi = -maintenance_charge_w) against
the supervised SAFETY limit's lo = -max_w, so lo > hi - the arbiter's
clause 3, correctly resolved to 0 W and logged as a CONTRADICTION.
Maintenance silently never charged in a cheap window on a default install,
and the only evidence read like a bug in the arbiter rather than like the
two numbers the operator set.

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

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

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

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 e40eb0768d SAFETY-02: the P_PEAK assertion was pinning the test's copy of the gate
Review finding 2, and it is the same duplication `disagrees()` just removed, so
it gets the same fix rather than a follow-up card.

`following_from()` in test_watchdog.py was a TRANSCRIPTION of the gate in
main.py, carrying "keep the two in step" as an instruction - which is exactly the
arrangement that does not keep two things in step. Measured: editing the shipped
gate alone to `winner in ("loop", "peak")` left every suite green while the
watchdog went blind for the duration of every peak event. The row whose whole job
is to force whoever lands peak shaving to come and change an expectation did not
do that.

The expression is now `watchdog.loop_is_following()`, called by main.py and by
the test. One definition, two callers, same reasoning as `disagrees()`: the copy
that drifts is always the one in the harness doing the grading.

⚠️ AND EXTRACTING IT WAS NOT SUFFICIENT - the drift proof still came out green
after the extraction, which is why it was worth running rather than assuming. The
realistic P_PEAK row has peak shaving asking for MORE than the loop, so the
magnitude term rejects it whatever `winner` says and masks the term under test. A
second row with peak asking for LESS makes `winner` the only deciding term. With
that row, widening the shipped gate fails two checks; without it, none.

Also enforcing the write ordering that was documented and not asserted: swapping
the two `store.set` calls passed everything. A store that fails the second write
now proves the property the ordering exists for - a crash mid-trip leaves a
reason with no latch, never a latch with no explanation. Swapping them now turns
that check red.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 cc4e88490b SAFETY-02 review: a latch that a restart clears is not a latch
BLOCKER. `auto` was persisted and `sign_wd.tripped` was not, so reconstructing
the Controller against the same store - which is what a container restart does -
brought it back ARMED, into the same fault, unattended: tripped=False, banner
back to NOT READY, and it resumed commanding -1000 then -2000 W before
re-tripping 180 s later. "Restart the add-on" is the first thing an operator
looking at a FAILSAFE banner and a 0 W inverter will try, and under a supervisor
that restarts a crashed add-on it is a loop of three-minute wrong-direction
bursts. DOCS.md's "it does not clear itself" was false across a restart.

`sign_tripped` and `sign_reason` are Store keys now, beside the maintenance
state and for the reason store.py's own docstring gives. Written the moment the
trip happens - reason first, flag second, so a crash between the two can never
persist a latch with no explanation - restored in Controller.__init__, cleared
only by the operator's start. The regression is covered: reverting the restore
fails seven checks in test_watchdog.py.

Review follow-ups, no behaviour change:

- The arming gate is tested against the REAL arbiter. It is the decision the
  ticket turns on and it was asserted in three comment blocks and verified by
  nothing - every case passed `following` in as a literal. Twelve claim
  configurations now derive it from resolve(), including the redirect case
  `winner == "loop"` alone would have got wrong and the `lo` limit that raises
  magnitude without flipping sign.
- The MQTT `status: "failsafe"` value is tested. The check that claimed to cover
  it restated the line above it and never touched the payload.
- The worked example described a config that does not ship: at the defaults
  maintenance_charge_w 2500 against max_w 2000 is an arbiter contradiction and
  0 W, not a -2500 W charge. Rewritten at 1500 W. The contradiction is a real
  pre-existing bug - a default cheap-window maintenance charge silently never
  happens - filed separately and deliberately not fixed here.
- Forward hazard recorded at the gate: `winner == "loop"` disarms the watchdog
  under any higher-priority SET, and a peak-shaving strategy at P_PEAK IS
  grid-following in sign, so it would blind this for every peak event.
- disagrees() is public so the replay harness stops carrying its own copy of the
  predicate it grades.
- held_s takes the clock instead of reading one.
- The two limits are now each stated in both places rather than one each.
- The no-false-positive argument is tied to control.py's freeze permitting the
  command to cross zero; under the shrink-only encoding control.py records as
  rejected, this would false-trip on a load step.
- Measured figures corrected: 93.4 % / 4212 of 17280, per-cluster
  0.3/0.9/10.5/0.0, and the near-circularity of those figures is now stated
  rather than leaned on.

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

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

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

Three decisions the ticket could not make:

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

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

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 aae74d7571 SAFETY-12 review: name the safety claim that could not fire, and fix two figures
Review fixes.

A. test_loop.py takes 73 s, not the ~35 s claimed in three places. That number
is the whole defence against a future developer deleting a slow test, so it was
understated by 2x in exactly the place it matters. Corrected - and it is now
~95 s (measured 93 s), because this commit adds the scenario below rather than
trimming windows to make an inconvenient number smaller. Both call sites carry
an instruction to re-measure if the windows change.

B. "242 checks" was test_p1's own count quoted as the total for all five
suites. The real figure is 395 across the five, plus 14 here.

And the finding this PR should have led with. stale_input_s and the
`inputs missing -> 0 W` claim both live INSIDE cycle(), so pre-fix, on a meter
whose value happened to repeat, that claim could not fire at all. Constant
meter, SoC entity dying at t=4 s, one binary:

  pre-fix   final target 220.0 W, reason 'loop -> 220 W'
  post-fix  final target   0.0 W, reason 'safety -> 0 W'

The old controller held 220 W through the whole input outage with its status
line still reading loop -> 220 W, and layer 1 does not cover that on a
`meter_source: off` install - no P1 age sensor is published, so the firmware has
nothing to veto on, while the heartbeat keeps its watchdog fed. The pre-fix
behaviour was not "holds a stale command safely"; it was a failsafe a repeating
meter switched off. Asserted in test_loop.py, both halves.

Three points of reasoning tightened, none of them wrong before:

- the re-tune is unreachable by construction, not merely by the reset: the
  combined cycle rate is max(arrival rate, 1/floor), never the sum, and 1/15 s
  is strictly slower than the ~1/5 s arrival rate. That holds only while the
  floor exceeds the meter's update interval - and the schema minimum of 5 s is
  exactly the reference meter's interval. Flagged for validate.py, not fixed
  here.
- the ~11 s lower bracket is not only a dropped poll: a 5.0 s poller against a
  4.97 s meter beats, so about every 14 minutes the poller steps over an update
  entirely. Reaching 15 s takes a beat-skip AND a failed poll.
- the "freshness is decided upstream" guarantee is transport-conditional. On
  `meter_source: off` the grid figure comes straight from hass.number() with no
  age gate. Running the full law is still right; the claim is narrower than it
  was stated.

The 15 s default is not independently justified - it rests on the firmware's
30 s ingest veto and moves if that ever does. Said beside the constant.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 88cd97cc7a SAFETY-12: the loop thinks on a clock, not only when the number moves
run_control() ran cycle() only when the meter value differed from the previous
poll. A meter that repeats a value therefore ran no control cycles at all -
while the heartbeat kept re-emitting the last command and the firmware kept
putting it on the wire every 2 s. Layer 1 stayed fed and every indicator read
healthy, so a command computed from an old reading went on being executed
through whatever the load did next. TEL-05 measured it: 70 s at a literally
constant 350.0 W, 14 arrivals, zero cycles.

cycle_floor_s (default 15 s) is a deadline on the GAP between cycles, reset by
every cycle whichever trigger fired - not a second scheduler. On a healthy meter
it never elapses, so the cycle rate and the commanded sequence are unchanged;
test_loop.py asserts that by driving the real loop twice on one binary (a huge
cycle_floor_s reproduces the old behaviour) and diffing the writes.

15 s is bracketed: above the ~11 s worst gap on a merely-unlucky healthy meter
(~5 s arrivals, 1 s detection, one dropped poll retried on the next tick), below
meter_max_age_s and the firmware's 30 s ingest veto, and equal to stale_input_s.

A floor cycle runs the full law. Freshness is already decided upstream - past
meter_max_age_s the reading is None, which is a P_SAFETY 0 W claim - and the
integrator advances per cycle, not per second, so bounding the gap bounds the
accumulation.

Not a freeze detector: nothing here decides whether a repeated reading is true.
DOCS.md's "accepted deviation" passage is qualified rather than deleted - the
window is now bounded at 3 x cycle_floor_s instead of open-ended, and its
"nothing accumulates while it is stalled" argument is called out as having
covered windup and not staleness. Same correction in control.py's comment.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 80ebb96e7d Two comments asserted an entity id that has never existed
mqtt.py said the P1 age entity "must be exactly sensor.p1_sample_age_s,
because SAFETY-01's firmware watchdog subscribes to that literal id", and
main.py:340 repeated it. Both are wrong, and wrong in the direction that
disarms a safety layer.

On HA 2026.8 object_id in a discovery payload does not determine entity_id.
HA composes it from the device name plus the entity name, so this one is
sensor.goodwe_p1_sample_age. That is what the firmware subscribes to, that is
what exists on the live system (verified 2026-08-26), and the firmware's own
comment records that sensor.p1_sample_age_s never existed on any HA.

The hazard is not the stale name itself, it is that two shipped artefacts
disagreed about a safety-critical id while sounding certain. A reader who
trusted these comments would have "corrected" the firmware to a name that
resolves to nothing - and the failure is silent, because has_state() simply
stays false forever and the ingest guard never arms. The firmware calls that
out as the shape that FAILS SILENTLY AND LOOKS CORRECT.

The comment now says what actually determines the id, and states plainly that
renaming the device or the entity's friendly name changes the composed id and
disarms the guard. It also cross-references TEL-06, since the guard reads this
sensor's value rather than its arrival and so cannot fire for a dead publisher.

Found in a backlog audit, as the substance behind PKG-02's premise: the real
coupling between firmware and add-on is names, not versions.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 4d41b0a79e TEL-05 review follow-ups: show unchanged_s, name a timeout, keep the poll task alive
Four follow-ups on the reviewed and approved TEL-05 work. Additive; no shipped
behaviour changes except the two failure paths below.

1. unchanged_s had no operator surface. DOCS.md told a reader "the transport
   tracks it as unchanged_s" and there was nowhere to look: main.py built the
   transport, scheduled run(), and never read the object again. The status page
   now shows it on the healthy P1 line. Still NOT thresholded and NOT folded
   into the age - that refusal was reviewed and upheld, because at the converged
   -10 W this controller aims for a 1 Wh register needs ~6 minutes to move, so
   any limit false-trips at the target operating point. The whole argument for
   leaving it to a human requires the human being able to see it.

2. The "equivalent mutant" note on the content_type guard was wrong, and the
   comment is downgraded to say so. web.Response(text=...) defaults to
   text/plain, so the fake meter CAN serve valid JSON under the wrong mimetype.
   Test added; shipped behaviour was already correct.

3. A timed-out poll logged an empty reason: str(asyncio.TimeoutError()) is "",
   so the status page read "last error:" and then nothing, on a hung meter, at
   the moment the battery had just gone to 0 W. Falls back to the class name.
   Note str(err), not `err or ...` - an exception object is always truthy.

4. submit() sat outside the try in poll_once() and run() had no except, so a
   raise would kill the poll task permanently and SILENTLY - safe (the age
   climbs, the controller commands 0 W) but indistinguishable from a dead meter.
   Both wrapped; poll_s is already the retry cadence, so no backoff.

Also a comment at the parse_homewizard range(phases) slice: a 3-phase meter
configured as 1-phase understates the capacity-tariff figure. Filed separately,
not fixed here.

242 checks in test_p1.py (236 before, 6 new). test_control 55, test_arbiter 18,
test_maintenance 21, all untouched and green. Each new check proved non-vacuous:
six mutations, six named reds, no suite aborts, sources restored byte-identical.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 98109a9b91 TEL-05: read the meter, not Home Assistant's opinion of the meter
A fourth meter_source, `homewizard_local`, polling a HomeWizard P1's own
local API (GET /api/v1/data) instead of watching an HA entity.

The point is the age sensor. sensor.p1_sample_age_s is FW-01's watchdog
input, and on every transport we had it measured "time since the value
CHANGED", not "time since the meter REPORTED". Home Assistant offers
nothing better: a repeated reading emits no state_changed, advances
last_reported on neither serialiser, and state_reported cannot be
subscribed to at all. Measured twice - 70 s of a frozen meter on the
ENV-01 rig, and ten repeated readings against the live house. Our own
capture of this house's meter goes 42.2 s and 97.0 s between changes,
both past the default meter_max_age_s of 30, so the age sensor would
have commanded 0 W on a perfectly healthy meter.

Here every HTTP response is an arrival. The meter answered, now, with
its current reading; whether the number moved is not consulted. Five
identical readings are five arrivals.

Reuses TEL-01's pipeline rather than restructuring it: same split_signed
sign convention as ha_signed, same make_sample, same ingest stamping,
meter_max_age_s, clock-recomputed age, plausibility bounds and the §20
unsigned-decode rejection. A failed or timed-out poll submits nothing,
so it is a missing reading - never 0 W - and does not reset the age.
meter_poll_s (default 5 s, the meter's own rate) is checked against
meter_max_age_s once at startup, like the ha_signed entity ids.

⚠️ An arrival stamp cannot see a FROZEN meter, and no arrival detector
can - one answering 200 OK with a stale number is arriving. The local
API does expose what HA never had (the total_power_*_kwh registers stop
advancing) and the transport tracks it as `unchanged_s`, but it is
deliberately not folded into the age and not thresholded: this
controller regulates grid toward ~0 W, and at a converged -10 W the
export register needs six minutes to move by its 1 Wh resolution while
the power figure legitimately repeats. Thresholding that would rebuild
the false-trip limit cycle at the exact operating point we aim for.

test_p1.py 179 -> 236 checks. Still defaults to off.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 e663e10245 TEL-04 review: unshadow the helper, validate config at startup, and record
what the rig proved about the age sensor

Review findings 1, 3, 5 and 6. Finding 2 is deliberately untouched - it is
its own ticket.

3. `built` was rebound at test_p1.py:816 by `built = build_source(...)`,
   silently disarming the build() wrapper for anything appended below it.
   Renamed to `sel`. Reproduced the reviewer's failure before fixing:
   appending a check that calls built() after that line gives
   `TypeError: 'HaSignedSource' object is not callable` and aborts at 163 of
   180; with the rename the same probe reaches 180 and passes.

5. DOCS.md now states the "length must equal meter_phases" constraint that
   config.yaml already carried, plus what leaving the list empty actually
   costs: on the surveyed reading the phases carry 2769 W of import while the
   connection nets 187 W, so the tariff quantity is understated ~15x.

6. build_source now checks the ha_signed wiring once at startup instead of
   once per telegram: a blank p1_net_entity, or a phase list whose length
   disagrees with meter_phases, logs an error and disables ingestion. Both
   otherwise fail in the single way indistinguishable from a healthy source
   nobody has fed yet - no samples, a climbing age, the watchdog holding the
   battery at 0 W, and nothing in the log.

1. THE AGE SENSOR. Measured on the ENV-01 rig against the real HomeWizard
   integration, meter frozen via hwsim's `?fault=freeze` seam (cleared in a
   finally:, rig verified restored):

     - websocket state_changed for the meter over 70 s : 0
     - last_reported advanced (REST serialiser)        : no
     - last_reported advanced (websocket serialiser)   : no
     - subscribe_events(state_reported)                : rejected,
       "Event filter is required for event state_reported"

   So Home Assistant exposes NO arrival signal for a repeated reading, and
   the proposed fix - stamp from last_reported via subscribe_entities - is
   not available. subscribe_entities listens only to EVENT_STATE_CHANGED, and
   as_compressed_state carries no last_reported at all.

   The age is therefore "time since the value changed", which on ha_dsmr is
   mostly harmless (a telegram moves several entities) and on ha_signed is
   not: one entity means a healthy meter under a flat load is
   indistinguishable from a dead one. Recorded loudly in DOCS.md, in the
   HaSignedSource docstring and in the CHANGELOG, with the measured 42.2 s
   and 97.0 s gaps from our own capture.

   meter_max_age_s is deliberately NOT widened. The two conditions produce an
   identical signal, so a larger number does not separate them - it only
   chooses which of the two errors you get, and it would disarm the watchdog
   for a genuinely dead meter as well. The honest fix is an arrival stamp the
   meter itself provides.

test_p1.py: 174 -> 179 checks, all green. Other three suites unchanged.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 8b51a51e20 TEL-04: a third meter_source for a single signed entity
TEL-01 shipped ha_dsmr and mqtt_p1, and neither can read the meter that is
actually fitted here. The house has a HomeWizard P1 exposing ONE signed
entity, sensor.p1_meter_active_power (+ import, - export); ha_dsmr wants two
unsigned registers and refuses a negative one outright, which is every
exporting telegram. So sensor.p1_sample_age_s could not be produced at this
site, and FW-01's watchdog needs it - measured, not theoretical: the house P1
went 51.1 s and 36.2 s without a state change overnight, both past
meter_max_age_s 30, so without the age sensor the watchdog would false-trip
the battery to 0 W.

Adds meter_source: ha_signed, reading p1_net_entity (and optionally
p1_phase_net_entities in L1..L3 order for the capacity-tariff peak). The
derivation is split_signed(), sitting next to make_sample's subtraction for
the same reason it does - the moment a user is asked to write two template
sensors that split a signed value, the sign convention is back in unreviewed
YAML underneath a safety input, which is exactly what TEL-01 removed.

The transport is a subclass of HaDsmrSource overriding only _wanted() and
build(), so every rule TEL-01 established is inherited rather than
re-implemented: ingest timestamping, meter_max_age_s, the clock-recomputed
sensor.p1_sample_age_s republished ~1 Hz, the plausibility ceiling, the
"prime the cache from get_states but never build a sample out of it" rule,
"a reconnect emits nothing", and unavailable/unknown treated as a MISSING
reading and never as 0 W.

Defaults to off. An existing install is unaffected until it opts in.

test_p1.py: 122 -> 174 checks. Includes an end-to-end run of the new
transport against a fake Home Assistant websocket, and the sign convention
asserted against real captured readings from
sim/scenarios/ha-p1_meter_active_power-2026-08-{20,23}.json (-5710 W at
13:46 local under full sun is export; +775 W at midnight is import).

Non-vacuity: ten mutations of the new rules, each applied alone and reverted
byte-identical. Nine turn the suite red. The tenth - splitting the per-phase
signed values rather than passing them through - is an equivalent mutant,
because make_sample subtracts the two lists again and does not sign-check
per-phase figures. That is recorded in a ponytail: comment at the site rather
than left for the next reviewer to rediscover.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 4bd659c499 TEL-01 review fixes: stop the age sensor tripping installs that have no meter
T-1, and it was a fleet-wide trip to zero. publish() emitted p1_age
unconditionally, and published_age_s counts from P1Ingest.__init__ when no
sample has ever arrived. With meter_source defaulting to off, every existing
install would have published sensor.p1_sample_age_s climbing without bound; the
ESP32 does `has_state() && state >= max_age_s` and forces the layer-1 failsafe,
so each of them would have pinned its inverter at 0 W within 30 s. Exactly the
opposite of the zero-regression the off default was for. The key is now omitted
from the payload AND from MQTT discovery when P1 is off, so the entity does not
exist at all - which is the status quo, and what has_state() is testing for.
The predicate is one function, is_enabled(), because the grid reading, the task
start and the discovery announcement have to agree or this comes back.

T-2, connect no longer manufactures a sample. get_states returns whatever HA
currently holds, which after a Core restart is a RestoreEntity value of unknown
age; stamping it with ingest_ts=now reset the age and reported a fresh meter
that could have been dead for an hour. run()'s own docstring already said a
reconnect must emit nothing - the code disagreed with it, and a test asserted
the violation. The cache is still primed, so the first real state_changed
builds a complete sample; the age just stays honest until one arrives.

T-3, gaps are no longer filled with the last held value. The averager held a
sample forward across any interval, so a meter dying at 5 kW and returning ten
minutes later credited 5 kW x 600 s to the capacity-tariff accumulator - a
fabricated peak on a permanent record. The hold is capped at max_age_s: past
that the stretch is walked so block boundaries still land correctly, but
nothing accumulates and elapsed does not grow, which is what finally makes the
comment about a gap dragging the billed average down true. Same threshold for
control and billing: a reading too old to steer by is too old to bill by.

T-4, the out-of-order/duplicate guard is covered. It was untested, and the
reason is worth recording: the obvious assertion passes without the guard,
because the negative interval is separately refused by the covered > 0 test.
What the guard prevents is the timestamp REWIND, which only shows up one sample
later as a re-integrated window. The test now goes one sample later.

T-6, DOCS was wrong about latency. meter_max_age_s and stale_input_s stack, so
meter death to 0 W is 45 s and not 30. Documented as a table with both clocks.

Also documented the T-5 asymmetry rather than papering over it: the age
measures arrival, not change, so a stuck MQTT bridge republishing its last
telegram still looks fresh. Correct on ha_dsmr, not detectable on mqtt_p1
without a change-detector. Written up as a known limit.

Writing the T-1 test caught a second defect in the test itself: it recorded
only MQTT topics, and object_id lives in the payload, so "the age sensor is not
announced" had been passing for the wrong reason.

test_p1.py: 99 -> 122 checks. 14 mutations run, all 14 red, files restored
byte-identical - including one per fix above.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 f47f1f0129 TEL-01: P1 ingestion, with the derivation and the age the EMS owns
A Belgian P1 meter publishes two UNSIGNED registers, not one signed figure.
Until now the add-on asked the installer to bridge that gap with a template
sensor, which put the sign convention of the whole control loop in a text box.
This moves it into the EMS: net = import - export, derived once, in one place,
with a test that fails if anyone inverts it.

Two transports behind one contract, chosen by `meter_source`: the HA WebSocket
subscribing to the DSMR integration's entities, and MQTT on a configurable
topic. Everything downstream reads P1Ingest, so switching is a config edit.
`meter_source: off` is the default and keeps the existing meter_entity path,
so no installed system changes until it opts in.

The other half is the timestamp. Every accepted sample is stamped at ingest
with a monotonic clock, `meter_max_age_s` is applied to it, and the age is
published as sensor.p1_sample_age_s for the ESP32's stale-input watchdog. That
entity is recomputed against the clock every second rather than only when a
telegram lands, because HA pushes state only on change: a meter frozen at a
constant reading emits nothing and looks, to anything watching the value,
exactly like a meter that has died. The age tells them apart.

Deliberately absent: any fallback to an inverter-side power figure. The
inverter's own AC power correlates 0.998 with battery power and 0.09 with the
real meter, so failing over to it means regulating against your own output.
A gap stays a gap - a reconnect emits no synthetic sample, and a rejected
telegram never resolves to 0 W or refreshes the timestamp.

Quarter-hour averages are time-weighted over clock-aligned blocks rather than
a mean of samples, so a cadence change cannot bias the capacity-tariff figure,
and only offtake is accumulated so a quarter of pure export averages to 0 kW.
Per-phase import is kept separately: on an unbalanced three-phase load the
phase sum and the connection net are different numbers, and only one of them
is billed.

test_p1.py: 99 checks, runnable with a bare interpreter and no meter. Includes
an end-to-end run of the HA transport against a fake Home Assistant websocket.

Stacked on SAFETY-04; nothing here touches control.py.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 53d301b920 SAFETY-04: exactly zero is its own case in the freeze tie-break
`min(moved, i_w) if i_w > 0 else max(moved, i_w)` files i_w == 0.0 under
rising-only, so the first push toward charging from exactly zero was blocked
permanently - the S-1 deadlock again, mirrored in sign. main.py resets i_w to
exactly 0.0 on every stop and every reseed, so it is a normal state.

Zero is now handled explicitly and both directions are allowed: nothing is
wound, so "may not wind further" has no referent, and a first step from zero is
bounded by the gain, the output clamp and the slew limit like any other.

Measured before the fix, at i_w == 0.0 and frozen: 12 800 of 25 920 ticks held
the integrator and 8 304 of those changed the emitted command, worst case
abandoning a 2 kW charge into a 4 kW export. Note this is NOT the same as the
reported symptom: at prev_w == 0 the command holds at 0 W either way, because
the output freeze forbids starting a charge while saturated, and that rule is
release/1.0's and unchanged. There is now a test asserting it deliberately.

Tests. The durable part is a property rather than more points: over 13 041
frozen states the integrator may be held ONLY by a correction pushing it
further from zero on the side it already sits, and any other hold fails. Both
signs at exactly 0.0. Mirrors added everywhere the suite tested one direction
of two - freeze wind/unwind while charging, i_w=-100, the export-direction
runaway, the negative clamp and slew.

DOCS: the cycles-vs-seconds deviation is now written down as a deviation - the
"> 10 s" criterion is not met as literally written, a cycle is one CHANGED
meter reading, and there is no guaranteed wall-clock window.

test_control.py: 43 -> 55 checks, all passing.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 7123aa00a4 SAFETY-04: revive the clamp reason, and compare reasons in the sweep
`want = i_w` after the integrator bound, so at the default limit == max_w the
output clamp can never fire and `reason == "clamped"` had become unreachable.
Observability only today - nothing gates on the string - but SAFETY-03 exists
to alarm on exactly that engagement, so its hook was dead before it was built.

The integrator bound now reports "i-clamped", and that is the signal SAFETY-03
must watch: it is the one that fires on a default install. "clamped" stays
reachable for a configuration that lets the integrator run above the rail,
where both fire and the output clamp - which describes the value actually
emitted - is the one reported. Two names because the two events want different
alarms: the loop winding, versus a command that came out over the rating.

The real fix is the second half. The equivalence sweep compared
(target_w, sat_count), which is how a dead reason survived 3024 cases. It now
compares (target_w, sat_count, frozen, reason) and it catches this defect:
dropping the emit turns it red. Deliberate rename aliased explicitly, so any
OTHER reason divergence still fails.

Result of adding reason to the tuple: 105 of 3024 cases differ, and every one
of them is the i-clamped/clamped rename. Zero value divergences, `frozen`
included. Nothing else surfaced.

test_control.py: 41 -> 43 checks, all passing.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 e46175559b SAFETY-04 review fixes: the freeze deadlocked, the bound was too loose
S-1. The frozen branch admitted a correction only if it shrank |i_w|. That is
unsatisfiable for BOTH signs of error whenever |correction| > 2*|i_w|, i.e.
whenever the integrator is near zero, so the loop stopped moving and the freeze
could never clear - it clears when the inverter tracks, and not tracking is
what saturation means. Measured: 0 W held into a 2 kW import indefinitely,
where release/1.0 recovers on the next cycle. Re-encoded as the same asymmetric
rule the output freeze has always used: may not wind further in the direction
it is already pushing, may fall, cross zero or reverse. Same interpretation,
an encoding that cannot deadlock.

S-2. integrator_max_w defaulted to 1.5x max_w, which ADDED windup: in
release/1.0 the accumulator was the post-clamp command and could never pass the
rail. Default is now "follow max_w" (config 0 = unset). Measured on the 4000 W
load-drop sim, first cycle after the drop: 1000 W at the new default, 1800 W at
3000. DOCS row inverted - the useful direction is below max_w, and the 14 768 W
anecdote is a vendor controller, not evidence about this code.

S-3. The claim that i_w=None preserved release/1.0 exactly was false, because
the S-1 gate ran regardless of seeding. It is true again, and now asserted
rather than asserted-about: 3024-case exhaustive comparison against a
transcription of the old law, over both freeze states, both signs and either
side of the deadband. Added the carried-i_w convergence/overshoot sim that the
shipped configuration was missing.

S-4. Cycles are distinct meter values, not seconds: cycle() runs only when the
meter reading changes, so the window has no wall-clock bound. Comment and DOCS
corrected; the stall is detection latency, not a windup hazard, because the
same condition stalls the whole loop.

test_control.py: 33 -> 41 checks, all passing.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 37bac79ad8 SAFETY-04: clamp the integrator, not only the output
The loop was in velocity form: the accumulator WAS the commanded power, so
"clamp the integrator" and "clamp the output" were the same line of code and
could not be set apart. This makes the accumulator an explicit carried value
(`i_w`), bounds it with its own `integrator_max_w`, and keeps the output clamp
where it was. Killing either mechanism now still leaves the other holding -
which is the point of the ticket, and what the new regression test asserts.

Freeze semantics: while saturated the integrator may unwind but not wind
further. A strict freeze would strand the command at whatever it reached,
because the condition that releases it is the inverter tracking again, and not
tracking is exactly what saturation means.

The integrator is re-seeded from the arbiter's actual output whenever the loop
did not get what it asked for, so entering any failsafe (all of which resolve
to 0 W) zeroes it, and the first cycle after release does not dump the stale
period as power.

test_control.py: 24 -> 33 checks, all passing.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 5184a2cfc2 Rest the meter just below zero, not at zero
The deadband is a one-way ratchet: any resting point inside it holds
indefinitely. Import and export are separate registers on the meter, so a
loop resting at +14 W bills 0.34 kWh/day while behaving perfectly.

target_grid_w (default -10 W) moves that residue onto the export register.
Worst billed rest point drops from 15 W to under 5 W. Behaviour is unchanged
at target_grid_w: 0.

adminandClaude Opus 5 017b798fe6 Precedence arbiter: one rule instead of an if/else ladder
Two controllers writing one actuator is the failure this system exists to
avoid. "Exactly one writer" was true, but only as a convention held up by
careful reading - which does not survive an EV charger and a heat pump wanting
the same battery.

Strategies now return claims and arbiter.py resolves them:

  highest-priority `set` wins (none at all means 0 W), then every `limit` whose
  priority is >= that set's applies, most restrictive first; contradictory
  limits command 0 W and are flagged as the bug they are.

The second clause is the whole point. "Money outranks maintenance" used to be a
hand-written exception inside a Jinja template; it is now a consequence of the
priorities - the charge-only limit binds the loop but cannot bind a
higher-priority peak claim.

Also: maintenance shaping moved out of control.py, which is a controller again
and not a policy engine; the loop now tracks the arbiter's actual output rather
than its own last wish, so it does not jump when it regains control; and every
decision explains itself ("loop -> 0 W, limited by maintenance(charge-only)")
in the UI and the log.

19 new assertions in test_arbiter.py, each one a precedence question someone
will eventually ask in the field. Deployed to the reference site as 0.2.0 and
holding grid within a few watts of zero.

adminandClaude Opus 5 594f8f9fc9 Six silent failures found by installing this on a live system
Migrated the reference site off the YAML packages and onto the add-on. Every
bug below presented identically: the add-on starts, logs "started", serves its
UI, and cannot do its job.

- run.sh needs #!/usr/bin/with-contenv sh. s6-overlay sanitises the environment
  for services, so a plain shebang means SUPERVISOR_TOKEN is absent and every
  Core API call is 401 - while homeassistant_api: true makes permissions look
  granted. Startup now prints the token length and probes the API.
- Supervisor keys the image by config.yaml `version`, so rebuilding without a
  bump reuses the old image. Two fixes appeared not to work because of it.
- Alpine is musl and has no aiohttp wheel on PyPI; deps now come from apk so
  nothing compiles on a client's Pi.
- Alpine ships paho-mqtt 1.x, which has no CallbackAPIVersion. That raised at
  construction and took the control loop down with it - so MQTT setup is now
  wrapped too. Observability must never be able to stop the controller.
- MQTT discovery is published from on_connect: paho silently drops QoS-0
  publishes issued before the CONNACK, so the previous code announced nothing
  while logging "MQTT connected".
- Repeated failures now log once a minute. Six warnings a second rolled the log
  buffer and destroyed the startup diagnostics needed to find the 401.
- auto_start could never fire, because the store's defaults always supplied
  auto: False for the fallback to find.

adminandClaude Opus 5 0a1e61dbc9 Packaged as a Home Assistant add-on, with a field guide
Turns the reference RS485 controller into something a technician can install
at a client site: a typed config form instead of YAML, an ingress UI that
names misconfiguration in words, and persistent state that cannot be broken by
a timezone.

Why an add-on rather than YAML packages or blueprints:

- Blueprints cannot create helpers, and the maintenance cycle is a state
  machine whose phase and completion date must survive restarts.
- YAML packages need filesystem access, a configuration.yaml edit and a
  restart - none of which belong in a client install.
- Add-ons authenticate with SUPERVISOR_TOKEN, so there is no long-lived token
  to generate, store or leak on someone else's machine.
- Requires HA OS/Supervised. Container and Core installs cannot run add-ons at
  all, which is a market decision, not an oversight.

The control law and the maintenance machine are pure functions with no Home
Assistant imports, and both ship with runnable checks (22 and 22 assertions).
Every assertion corresponds to a rule whose absence caused an observed failure
on hardware - the saturation duration term, the clamp-before-slew ordering, the
deadband, the sign convention.

One behaviour deliberately differs from the implementation it replaces: when
its inputs go missing this commands 0 W rather than replaying the last
setpoint. The reference version kept replaying, which the hardware watchdog
cannot catch - from the ESP32's side, Home Assistant is still talking to it.

Includes the ESPHome firmware (now parameterised: node name, inverter rating,
watchdog timeout) and the optional RS485 e-stop. FIELD-GUIDE.md carries the
commissioning gates, all judged on the wire rather than on how Home Assistant
looks, plus the written statement a site without an e-stop needs signed.
