glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 753f700539 DEV-02: merge release/1.0, and close the two review blockers
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 4m15s
PR #43 was rejected on two findings and had gone unmergeable behind SAFETY-28
and the ALLOC-01 fix. This is the merge commit; the conflict resolution and both
fixes are below, because a merge that also changes behaviour has to say so.

THE MERGE, AND WHAT IT COST
===========================
Two conflicts in main.py, both where SAFETY-28 and this card touched the same
method:

  * `write_setpoint()` split into a site entry point plus a per-unit
    `_write_unit()` here, while SAFETY-28 put its record gate in the old
    single-unit body. `write_refusal()` now takes the INVERTER it is about.
    Asking it with `self.unit` - as release/1.0 does - would authorise A's share
    on B's wire, and would also trip test_inverter.py part 1's AST scan, which
    goes red on any read of a Controller N=1 view inside Controller.
  * the SAFETY-28 gate sits above the clamp and below the non-finite coercion,
    exactly where release/1.0 put it, and is now asked about `inv`.

Fallout the merge produced in the checks, re-aimed rather than relaxed:

  * every fixture that calls `write_setpoint()` DIRECTLY - the clamp probe, the
    hung-heartbeat experiment and its serialised counterfactual, the split
    deadline probe - now arms a real allocation record first. test_inverter.py
    grows an `arm()` built through the shipped `resolve()`, the same shape
    test_clamp.py's is: the per-unit envelopes are filed as real `supervised`
    claims and the site target is their sum, so the water-fill has exactly one
    answer and the fixture cannot quietly become its own allocator.
  * test_clamp.py's two-unit failsafe fixture assigned `c.units`, which DEV-02
    made a derived property with no setter. It appends a real `Inverter`.

BLOCKER 1 - AC 4's ARBITER-BOUND EVIDENCE WAS VACUOUS
=====================================================
test_peakguard.py claimed "each unit's `supervised` bound is ITS OWN `max_w` -
give inverter B a different rating and the claim filed on inverter B moves with
it", and compared B's bound against `_b2.max_w`. `second_inverter()` DEFAULTED
B's rating to `LIVE_MAX_W`, which is A's. IT COMPARED (-5000, 5000) AGAINST
(-5000, 5000): a number against itself, unable to observe the failure it named.

Reproduced: filing the per-unit `device`/`supervised` claims from
`self.inverters[0]`'s numbers while leaving `actuator=self.actuator_of(..., inv)`
alone left ALL 19 FILES GREEN. At a roster of two with A=5000/B=3000 that makes
inverter B's planned envelope (-5000, 5000) instead of (-3000, 3000) - a 2000 W
over-command the arbiter believes is supervised. It is a DIFFERENT defect from
the actuator variant the static routing pin catches, and only the actuator
variant was in the mutation table.

  * `second_inverter()` gives B 3000 W - a hypothesis, marked as one - for every
    fixture in the file, so no check there can compare B against A by accident.
  * the claim is asserted against LITERAL numbers rather than against an
    expression that can read the same object twice, for `supervised` AND for
    `device` (whose `dev` had the same defect), plus the envelope the ARBITER
    RESOLVED for B - a claim filed right and resolved wrong is the same defect
    one layer down.
  * a PRECONDITION check fails if the two ratings are ever made equal again.
  * the BOUND mutation is in the table, beside the actuator one, and was
    observed RED (3 checks in test_peakguard.py) via tools/mutation_run.sh.

⚠️ THIRD INSTANCE THIS SESSION of a check whose DATA cannot reach the failure it
names - ARB-03's call-site scan saw 3 of 8 appends, ALLOC-01's replay generator
saw 0 escapes where a widened one saw 39,991. MUTATION.md gains a section for it
beside the stale-bytecode and masking ones, and the rule is written at the line:
ANY CHECK ASSERTING "X DIFFERS FROM Y" MUST BE RUN ONCE WITH X AND Y ACTUALLY
MADE DIFFERENT.

BLOCKER 2 - THE LATCH WAS SILENTLY DISARMED BY THE ROLLBACK ROUND TRIP
======================================================================
store.py's rule 2 keeps the flat keys "so a rollback still finds its latch". The
operator path that rule contemplates is a ROUND TRIP, and this card lost the
latch on it:

  1. install migrates          -> schema_version=1, unit/inverter-a/... = False
  2. operator DOWNGRADES; SAFETY-02 trips inside the downgrade window and the
     old add-on writes only the flat `sign_tripped: true`
  3. operator upgrades again   -> `rep.ran` is False, so `_grade_store_migration()`
     returned early, and `Inverter.__init__` read the namespaced key: False

Observed: the controller came up with `sign_wd.tripped = False` while
/data/state.json said `sign_tripped: true`. That is store.py's own header
sentence - "the file still says sign_tripped: true, the banner is green, and the
controller resumes driving the wrong way" - rebuilt by the version marker. A
firmware version change with a rollback path was performed on this site on
2026-09-02, so this is not hypothetical.

Three changes, each graded by a mutation observed RED:

  * THE OPERATOR'S CLEAR CLEARS BOTH SPELLINGS. That is what removes the
    "re-arm forever" objection the `rep.ran` gate existed to answer: with the
    fossil cleared, `flat True + namespaced False` is unambiguously a
    downgrade-window latch.
  * A TRIP MIRRORS THE FLAT PAIR. Rule 2 only ever covered the latch present AT
    MIGRATION TIME - nothing flat was written for a trip taken afterwards, so an
    operator who downgraded found `sign_tripped: false` and came up DRIVING.
    store.py claimed the staleness could only fail toward a SPURIOUS latch. It
    could not; that sentence is corrected rather than left standing.
  * THE GUARD RUNS ON EVERY START, and asks the STORE - not the roster - whether
    anything namespaced is latched. A mirrored trip on B must not re-arm a
    healthy A, and the store is the right place to ask because it holds every
    `unit/*/sign_tripped` this install has written, including one belonging to a
    unit that is not in today's roster.

Graded by the three-step scenario itself, run end to end in test_inverter.py
part 2, with all three preconditions asserted - including that the catching
start did NOT migrate anything, which is what used to skip the guard. Part 2's
idempotence check now PRESSES the button instead of hand-writing the store,
because the state it used to construct is not one the shipped clear path can
produce. Part 3 grades the mirror and the clear on a real roster of two.

test_watchdog.py's "the flat key is NOT written" assertion is re-aimed rather
than deleted: its argument was right about the READ and wrong about the WRITE.
Nothing at runtime reads that key, and the one thing that does ignores it
whenever any namespaced latch is set - which a sibling's trip always leaves.
What its absence actually cost was the rollback.

HANDOVER.md and DOCS.md said the flat key "is never read again", which was the
instruction an operator clearing a trip by hand would follow. Both corrected: it
is a maintained rollback view, it IS read on every start, and clearing a trip by
hand means clearing both spellings.

MUTATIONS THIS ROUND, each applied on a purged tree via tools/mutation_run.sh
and observed RED:
  * per-unit `device`/`supervised` BOUNDS from `self.inverters[0]`, actuator
    left correct                                   -> test_peakguard.py 10g
  * `_grade_store_migration()` gated on `rep.ran`   -> test_inverter.py part 2
  * the operator's clear leaving the flat keys set  -> test_inverter.py part 2/3
  * a trip not mirroring the flat pair              -> test_inverter.py part 3
  * the guard asking only `self.inverters[0]`       -> test_inverter.py part 3

19/19 files green on the merged tree. No hardware was touched.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 e306c74cb8 DEV-02: per-instance inverter objects, so nothing is graded against a sibling
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 4m15s
Every piece of per-device state in the Controller was a scalar, and several of
them are safety inputs. app/inverter.py introduces an `Inverter` that owns its
entities, its rating, its device range, its SignWatchdog, its last_write and
its last_beat, under store keys namespaced by unit name. The Controller holds a
list of them and keeps only what is genuinely site-level: the P1 reading, the
site integrator, and the tariff quarter.

WHAT THE SCALARS WERE SILENTLY ASSERTING

  dev_min/dev_max   one pair, read from one setpoint_entity. A second
                    inverter's rating was NEVER READ AT ALL, so its clamp, its
                    freeze rail and the peak guard's achievable_w were the
                    first one's numbers.
  soc               one reading into the maintenance FSM, SAFETY-24's pack
                    floor and arbitrage's bounds. An average lets the emptier
                    pack be driven below its own floor.
  sign_wd           ONE SignWatchdog, whose own docstring says "one instance
                    per actuator", latched under FLAT store keys - so a trip
                    caused by B latched A across restarts and one operator
                    press cleared both.
  last_beat         one deadline and one serialised hass.call(), so a hung
                    write to A ate B's 30 s layer-1 budget.

actual_w BECAME SITE LEVEL WHILE THE READINGS BECAME PER-INSTANCE, and those
are opposite directions on purpose. compute()'s anti-windup test is
`abs(prev_w - actual_w) > saturation_w` with prev_w the SITE target, so feeding
it one inverter's power compares a site number against a unit number, trips the
saturation freeze permanently and leaves a standing grid error. Measured on
admin/goodwe's two-master rig (tools/alloc_sim.py --splits, 2 kW load, 40
cycles), worst |delta| between splits at the meter:

    gain    one unit's power      the site sum
    0.2           510 W                0 W
    0.4           250 W                0 W
    0.6            50 W                0 W

That was ALLOC-01's disclosed finding; test_alloc.py part 8 kept its stimulus
and now grades the other row.

THE STORE MIGRATION IS GRADED, NOT MERELY PERFORMED. sign_tripped/sign_reason
move to unit/<name>/... once, verified by READING BACK what was written, and
the version marker is set only when nothing that carried state was lost. The
flat keys stay in the file so a rollback still finds its latch. And __init__
compares the pre-migration flat latch against what unit A actually came up
with: if the latch did not survive it is RE-ARMED from the legacy value and
shouted about. A latch that silently fails to migrate is a disarmed safety
guard on an install whose state file says it is protected - which is strictly
worse than never persisting it, because now there is evidence saying it is
fine. test_inverter.py part 2 breaks the migration and watches the guard fire.

HEARTBEATS ARE INDEPENDENT AND THE BUDGET IS DERIVED. Each inverter owns its
deadline, the refreshes go out concurrently, and each write is bounded by
WRITE_BUDGET_S = 4 s. The inequality is graded rather than asserted: 4 +
heartbeat_s's schema maximum of 25 < 30, validate.FIRMWARE_INGEST_VETO_S.
Verified by injecting a transport that accepts and never answers.

live_units() ANSWERS HONESTLY. A unit whose every write has been rejected for a
whole layer-1 window is not commandable; the allocator drops it, the survivors
carry its share, the action log names it, and the dropped unit is commanded
0 W rather than left standing on its last share. A roster entry with NO
setpoint_entity is deliberately not handled there - that is a configuration
that cannot be delivered, and it reaches main.py's refusal branch, which is how
that branch keeps a live trigger after this card removed its old one.

AT N=1 NOTHING MOVES. The removed scalars survive as read/write properties of
the sole inverter, so every existing replay runs unmodified - and they REFUSE
at N>=2 rather than answering for the first inverter, which is the tripwire on
a consumer that was never made per-instance.

EVIDENCE. 19 files green. test_inverter.py is new (82 checks). Eighteen
mutations were applied to the shipped modules on a purged tree via
tools/mutation_run.sh and each was observed RED. Two of them SURVIVED first
time and the checks were changed rather than the table: the serialised dispatch
and the shared last_beat both passed while part 6 gathered its own writes and
computed its own `due` list. send_heartbeats() was extracted from run_control()
so the shipped dispatch is reachable by a check at all.

INVERTER B STILL DOES NOT EXIST. build_roster() returns exactly one inverter
from the flat options and is the one function CFG-04 changes; every two-unit
figure here is architecture, and the second rating in the checks is marked a
hypothesis.

Claude 591c35ed01 SAFETY-28: gate the write path on the allocation record, not on key count
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 4m19s
specs §1.5 makes "any configuration in which two writers can reach one
actuator" a non-goal. That non-goal was enforced by counting config keys:
validate.py's ACTUATOR_WRITE_KEYS = ("setpoint_entity",), consumed at rule 1,
with a comment stating the guarantee outright - "there is exactly one such
key, so a second writer is not expressible in the options schema at all".

That was true and it graded THE SHAPE OF THE OPTIONS SCHEMA, not the writes.
Add CFG-04's per-inverter config - a roster of inverters each with its own
setpoint_entity - and there are two real writers with len() of that tuple
still equal to 1. The check stays green while the property it protects is
gone. sim/inject.py's two_writers scenario asserted on the same tuple, so it
went green too. That is this repository's named failure mode: a check that
observes something other than what it claims to observe.

Demonstrated rather than argued. test_validate.py part 2 now constructs the
hazardous per-inverter config, asserts that the OLD proxy is still green on
it, and then asserts the new check refuses it. Against release/1.0's
validator the updated sim scenario reports: "validate_startup_config()
ACCEPTED a configuration in which 3 declarations reach the ONE actuator
number.goodwe_setpoint ... the old proxy reports 1 write key(s) on this same
config and is therefore GREEN on it".

THE WRITE PATH IS NOW GATED ON THE RECORD
=========================================
Controller.write_refusal() asks Allocation.authorises() whether the single
allocator placed exactly this number, for this unit, on this tick.
write_setpoint() refuses anything else. A second writer with arithmetic of
its own cannot satisfy that - its number appears in no record - so it has to
file a Claim and go through resolve(), which is the one allocator. "Exactly
one allocator per shared resource" stops being a convention somebody can
forget and becomes something the write path checks.

The refusal is a SUBSTITUTION, not a return: 0 W goes on the wire in place of
the number nothing stands behind. Returning would leave the inverter latched
on its last command with the ESP32 heartbeat still being fed - holding an
unauthorised setpoint quietly, which is the outcome the gate exists to stop.
AC 1 is "refused at the write path, not merely logged", and test_clamp.py
part 7a grades the device's writes, not the log.

The gate sits BELOW the non-finite coercion and ABOVE the clamp. Below,
because a nan is loss of input and rule 1 has already turned it into 0 W.
Above, because the question is who chose this number, and the answer is only
meaningful about the number that was asked for - gating the CLAMPED value
would refuse exactly the cycles SAFETY-03 exists for, since a clamped write
differs from the allocator's share by construction. Mutation M7 moves the
gate below the clamp and turns nine checks red, part 6c among them.

A STALE RECORD CANNOT BE REPLAYED
=================================
Every Allocation now carries the `tick` it was made for. It is handed IN by
the caller - plan(..., tick=) - rather than counted inside the allocator,
because test_alloc.py part 10 grades that the module holds no state at all,
and a serial number incremented in there would be the cached-across-ticks
thing the envelope rule forbids wearing a different hat.

Controller.alloc_tick advances ONCE PER RESOLUTION, not once per loop
iteration, and both halves are load-bearing:

  * a new allocation makes the previous record stale immediately, so a record
    whose envelopes have moved cannot authorise a write. That is the replay
    half (AC 2), graded by capturing a real record, running another real
    cycle, putting the old one back and observing refusal.
  * the "inputs missing, not yet stale" hold returns BEFORE the allocator
    runs, exactly so one dropped meter reading does not zero the inverter,
    and the heartbeat re-affirms self.target through this same gate while it
    does. A tick incremented per loop iteration would refuse that heartbeat
    and turn the hold into the outage it exists to prevent. Graded.

An UNSTAMPED record (tick None) authorises nothing: "I cannot say when I was
made" fails closed rather than reading as tick zero.

THE FAILSAFE CANNOT DEADLOCK BEHIND THE GATE, AND HERE IS WHY
=============================================================
write_setpoint() is also how layer 2 commands 0 W. cycle()'s two refusal
branches substitute a 0 W failsafe and write it like any other cycle;
shutdown() and the operator's stop button do the same. EVERY ONE OF THOSE
RUNS WHILE THE ALLOCATOR HAS REFUSED - ok is False and there are no shares -
so a gate that asked the allocator's permission to command zero would block
the safety write behind the very component whose failure the safety write
answers. A gate that can do that is worse than the hole it closes.

Resolved by authorising 0 W unconditionally, and on the VALUE rather than on
a failsafe=True flag: a flag is an assertion by the caller, which is exactly
what a second writer would pass; the value is a fact about what will be
written. The argument that this is safe and not merely convenient is that the
hazard §1.5 names is N-times loop gain from BROADCAST - handing every inverter
the same target so each supplies it in full (allocator.py's opening argument;
TEST-19 measured a permanent 4000 W p2p limit cycle at gain 1.0 with no guard
firing). At S = 0 the broadcast and the correct allocation COINCIDE: a_i = 1
for every unit gives every unit 0 W, which is exactly its share. There is no
over-command to make at zero. Said at the line, in write_refusal().

test_clamp.py part 7c drives it end to end through the real cycle() and the
real REFUSE_EMPTY branch: the allocator refuses every tick, the device still
sees 0 W, and the action log says ARBITER: REFUSED rather than WRITE REFUSED
so the two failures stay distinguishable to whoever has to debug them.

unmet_w IS STILL NOT ok
=======================
The gate reads ok and the unit's share and never unmet_w. allocator.py:179
says why: an allocation that could not place every watt is still safe to
write, and fusing them would let one saturated inverter park the whole site.
Graded on a record with 3800 W unmet and every share legal - mutation M5 adds
`or self.unmet_w` to the gate and that check goes red.

THE CONFIG CHECK, REPLACED RATHER THAN DELETED
==============================================
actuator_writers() counts WRITERS PER ACTUATOR instead of option keys. It
walks the options TREE rather than looking for a container called `inverters`,
because CFG-04 has not chosen that name yet and a census that guessed wrong
would go green while two writers existed - the same defect one step along.
Entity ids are folded to lower case so a second writer cannot be smuggled in
as Number.X versus number.x.

Two inverters with two entities are ACCEPTED - that is what the per-inverter
roster is for, and a validator that refuses the feature it guards is one
somebody switches off. Two declarations aimed at ONE entity are refused,
naming the actuator and every writer pointed at it. That includes the case an
author will meet first - keeping setpoint_entity as A's and listing A again -
because "they happen to be the same entity, so it is fine" is precisely the
reasoning that makes two writers invisible.

ACTUATOR_WRITE_KEYS survives ONLY as the enumeration a census needs, with its
guarantee comment deleted; nothing asserts on its length any more. Keeping the
name is also what stops admin/goodwe's current two_writers scenario failing on
an AttributeError between the two merges.

WHAT NEITHER CHECK OBSERVES, SAID OUT LOUD
==========================================
The census sees CONFIGURED writers. A second write path added in CODE - a
hass.set_number() call next to some new strategy - declares nothing and is
invisible to it, exactly as it was invisible to the tuple. That half is not
closed at startup and cannot be; it is closed at runtime by the record gate,
which does not care what the options look like or who called the method. The
two checks are deliberately different kinds, and only the runtime one survives
a schema this file has not seen yet.

EVIDENCE
========
* Full 18-file suite green on a purged tree (tools/mutation_run.sh).
* Verified by breaking it - seven mutations, each on a purged tree, each
  reverted and re-verified:
    M1 remove the gate                -> test_clamp red (4 checks)
    M2 make the zero exit an amnesty  -> test_clamp red (12 checks)
    M3 drop the tick comparison       -> test_clamp red (5 checks)
    M4 delete the census refusal      -> test_validate red (3 checks)
    M5 fuse unmet_w into ok           -> test_clamp red (1 check)
    M6 freeze the tick on the live path -> test_clamp red (2 checks)
    M7 move the gate below the clamp  -> test_clamp red (9 checks)
* AC 5: no existing check was weakened. The two edits to test_clamp.py are
  fixtures, not assertions - parts 5 and 6c call write_setpoint() directly
  with a number nothing allocated, which is now refused, so they say where
  their number came from. Every assertion in both parts is unchanged, and
  part 7f asserts that across part 3's sixty real cycles the gate refused
  zero writes.
* admin/goodwe's TEST-19 norig scenarios (planner_binding, two_master_plant,
  two_master_broadcast) still pass against this tree - they import the
  add-on's control law across the repo boundary.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 3fe3c7acb0 ALLOC-01: clamp each envelope end on its own, and widen the replay that missed it
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 4m9s
Two blocking findings from the review of 186e13c. The second is why the first
survived, and it is the one this commit is really about.

THE CLAMP. `_clamp_int()` folded both ends of the interval into one
`min(max(...))` and substituted `v` itself for a bound that was infinite. That
reads as "an absent bound cannot bind", and it is not what it does: with
`hi == inf` the expression collapses to `min(max(v, lo), v) == v`, so A MISSING
CEILING SILENTLY DISCARDED THE FLOOR. `_clamp_int(0, 2142, inf)` returned 0. It
reached the shares through all three call sites - the base, the pin clamp and
the post-floor clamp.

The worked failure: bounds `{a: [2000, +inf], b: [-5000, 5000]}` against a
+1000 W site target returned `a=+500, b=+500` - inverter-a commanded at a
quarter of its own 2000 W floor - while THE SAME CASE WITH A FINITE CEILING
correctly REFUSES on sign coherence. So one defect broke the ticket's first
named deliverable ("each share clipped to that unit's UnitBounds interval") and
suppressed a circulating-power refusal that should have fired. Both now behave
identically, and the refusal is the behaviour.

Not reachable on the live install - N=1 is a pass-through, and via main.py the
supervised claim unconditionally files a finite +/-max_w LIMIT at P_SAFETY that
pre_resolve's gate can never filter because nothing outranks P_SAFETY. But
`plan()` and `arbiter.allocate()` are the public envelope contract SAFETY-28 and
DEV-02 are being asked to build on, and `UnitBounds()` DEFAULTS TO
`(-inf, +inf)`, so a one-sided envelope is the ordinary case at N>=2 rather than
an edge, and any caller with one inherited the defect.

Fixed by clamping the two ends independently: cast to int, apply `lo` only if it
is not -inf, apply `hi` only if it is not +inf. `_int_envelope()` already passes
infinities through untouched and needed no change; it is the only other place in
the module that special-cases infinity, and the rest of the tree's `isfinite`
calls are input validation in unrelated modules.

THE RECORD. `UnitPlan.explain()` printed
`inverter-a -> +500 W in [2000, +inf] (weighted share)` - a line asserting a
share is inside an interval that excludes it, in the record SAFETY-28 gates on.
It now ASKS: `within_envelope` checks the share against the interval, and a
violated plan prints `OUTSIDE ... - ENVELOPE VIOLATED, DO NOT WRITE` instead. A
dropped unit is exempt and prints "not commanded" - it was told nothing, its
interval may be a contradiction no number is inside, and a banner there would
cry wolf on the one row that is working.

THE REPLAY THAT COULD NOT SEE IT, WHICH IS THE FINDING THAT MATTERS. The
250 000-tick replay drew every envelope as `B(-uniform(0, RATING),
uniform(0, RATING))` - finite on both ends and containing zero, every time -
while the check it fed claimed "no share ever leaves the envelope it was clamped
into", which reads as a statement about `UnitBounds`. The data could only
exercise a symmetric closed interval around zero. That is why it reported 0
escapes against a live defect while the reviewer's own 120 000 ticks reported
6 254.

The generator now draws from every shape `UnitBounds` can express: finite
straddling zero, half-open above, half-open below, finite excluding zero in each
direction, half-open AND excluding zero, and bare `UnitBounds()`. Over the same
seed and the same 250 000 ticks it draws 166 657 half-open intervals, 55 233
bare ones and 222 082 that exclude zero, and those counts are PRINTED and
asserted so "the replay covers half-open intervals" is a number a reader can see
rather than a sentence the file asserts about itself. The escape check also
dropped its 1 W tolerance: `_int_envelope()` narrows inward, so there is nothing
for slack to absorb except a defect.

GRADED, NOT MERELY APPLIED - the acceptance bar for this round. A/B on one seed
and one tick count, against the defective clamp: THE OLD GENERATOR SEES 0
ESCAPES, THE NEW ONE SEES 39 991. Reverting the fix under the widened generator
takes test_alloc.py RED on four checks (the escape count, the record check, and
both halves of the new half-open block); re-applying it takes it green. The
collapse is now a row in part 12's mutation table, recorded as the mutation that
actually shipped rather than a hypothetical one.

TWO CHECKS RE-AIMED RATHER THAN LOOSENED.
* Part 6's "the sign gate never fires on an ordinary tick" counted refusals over
  the whole replay. Envelopes that EXCLUDE zero are precisely what that gate is
  for, so the widened generator makes refusals correct there. It now counts an
  ORDINARY tick explicitly - no pin, every envelope contains zero - and asserts
  0 refusals over 77 533 of them, half-open and bare envelopes among them. That
  is stronger than what it replaced, not weaker.
* Part 1's third check summed `sum_w - sum(shares)` over ticks where
  `unmet_w == 0`, and `unmet_w` IS that difference - so it was true by
  construction and would have gone quiet rather than red. It now measures the
  one rounding that is actually left: the site-level `quantisation_w`, totalling
  -39.8 W over 137 964 allocations, i.e. -0.0003 W per tick. Largest remainder
  against the per-unit alternative is still graded in part 2, where the
  counterfactual drifts -125 W over 50 000 ticks at three inverters.

Verified: all 18 suites green in the CI image on a tree with no bytecode cache;
test_alloc.py also re-run through tools/mutation_run.sh, which purges. AC 2 and
AC 3 are untouched by this change - the rig and part 8 use symmetric finite
envelopes, which the old and new clamp treat identically - and part 8 is green.
No hardware touched; admin/goodwe not fetched, not modified, not pushed to.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 38f6680639 ARB-03: pin all eight actuator call sites statically
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 3m45s
The independent review of PR #40 found AC 6 met at three of the eight claim
construction sites while the check claimed to cover the class - this
repository's named failure mode, a check observing something other than what
it claimed, reproduced inside the check written to prevent it.

WHAT WAS WRONG. Part 10g's only call-site check was a real two-inverter cycle.
That cycle is auto, P1-healthy, no maintenance procedure, no tripped sign
watchdog, the guard idle and arbitrage off, so it reaches `device`,
`supervised` and `loop` and nothing else - three of the eight direct appends in
`Controller.cycle()`. Its own check text nevertheless read "the line a
mis-typed `actuator_of(...)` at a call site goes red on", and the PR body's
mutation table presented it as covering the class. The reviewer proved the gap
on the shipped tree: `actuator_of("maintenance")` -> `actuator_of("peak")` at
the maintenance-shaping append left test_arbiter.py, test_peakguard.py and
test_arbitrage.py ALL GREEN, while at a roster of two it built a site loop of
-1500 W against the guard's site `lo` of 1500 W and the now-misrouted
charge-only `hi = 0` - `lo > hi`, arbiter clause 3, 0 W IN THE BILLED QUARTER,
SAFETY-25 §0a's fatal case from a one-word typo. The same mutation at the
`failsafe` append survived too. The runtime detector does fire -
`scope_violations()` names it - but it only logs; nothing graded it.

THE FIX, over machinery already present. Part 10f's AST scan already reads each
`claims.append(...)` in `Controller.cycle()`. All eight direct appends expose
their actuator statically as `actuator=self.actuator_of('<literal>')`, so 10g
now requires that literal to EQUAL the source the claim is filed under, read as
SOURCE TEXT rather than evaluated - `actuator_of("peak")` at the maintenance
append is the same VALUE at the shipped roster of one and a different string
here. That pins all eight routing sites, on the line the typo is written, in
every configuration and at every roster, exactly the way 10f pins the source
set. Two further lines keep the scan from going vacuous: every direct append
must be readable in that shape (a computed or hand-written actuator fails
there), and the ten appends must still account for 10f's eight sources.

The two INDIRECT appends carry no `actuator=` at the call site to mis-type.
`peak_claim` and `arb_claim` are routed where their claim is built, and are
pinned there - `peakguard.claim()` by the SWEEP_SITE sweep over every load x
elapsed x battery x SoC x floor combination, `arbitrage.claim()` by
test_arbitrage.py. 10g now says so at the line, and says which three of the
eight its dynamic cycle actually sees, rather than rounding up.

MEASURED, NOT ARGUED. Each of the eight direct appends mutated in turn to a
wrong actuator - device->loop, supervised->peak, failsafe->safety,
safety(stopped)->device, safety(inputs missing)->maintenance,
maintenance(SET)->loop, maintenance(shaping)->peak, loop->supervised - each on
a purged tree via tools/mutation_run.sh over all 17 files. All eight RED, every
one of them on the new line.

TWO SURVIVING MUTATIONS OF THE SAME CLASS, ALSO CLOSED.

* `resolve()` did not have to honour the roster it was given: `if units is
  None:` -> `if True:` left the whole suite green. Ignoring the argument makes a
  unit that filed nothing this cycle cease to exist - a site of two reads as a
  site of one and stage 3 passes the whole grid target through to the inverter
  that spoke, which is ARCH-01's fault with its own evidence removed.
  test_arbiter.py part 7 now grades it on the one case that separates the two, a
  SILENT unit. Mutation RED in test_arbiter.py and test_peakguard.py.
* main.py's N>=2 refusal was unreachable and ungraded: `if not
  resolution.allocated:` -> `if False:` left the whole suite green, so the right
  instinct was one refactor away from being deleted as dead code. The guard is
  KEPT - the alternative default is the ARCH-01 fault - and new part 10h grades
  it on the two-inverter cycle that already existed: the 0 W, the `failsafe`
  winner, the log line naming the roster size, and the write that follows.
  Mutation RED.

AND THE WORDING CORRECTED. main.py does not "refuse to write" on
`allocated=False`. It SUBSTITUTES a 0 W failsafe and then calls
`write_setpoint(0.0)` like any other cycle. 0 W is the correct
fail-toward-inaction direction and the log text is accurate about what it
refuses - to BROADCAST the site target - but "refuses to write" overstates the
code. Said as what it does, in the CHANGELOG, at the branch in main.py, and in
10h's own check text. `resolve()`'s docstring now says the roster argument has
to be HONOURED, which is not the same as existing.

17/17 green on a purged tree.

adminandClaude Opus 5 06f95e0a64 ARB-03: restore Claim.actuator and make resolve() three-stage
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 3m45s
specs.md:467 declares `actuator: str` as the FIRST field of `Claim`.
app/arbiter.py:55 had no such field. The specification designed
per-actuator claims and the implementation dropped it, so every claim was
implicitly about "the one and only actuator", resolve() returned one scalar
Resolution.target_w, and main.py assigned it to one self.target. THERE WAS
NO SEAM AN ALLOCATOR COULD OCCUPY - and ARCH-01 (specs.md §6.2, 2026-09-02)
decided the site grid target is ALLOCATED across several inverters and never
broadcast. This is a regression fix against the written design; creating that
seam is the whole of the change.

WHY IT MATTERS, IN THE UNITS THE SYSTEM IS BILLED IN. The control primitive
is meter emulation: the master reports a fabricated grid reading and the
inverter regulates itself to it, so one number means "the battery moves X W"
to the add-on and "the grid is at X W" to the inverter - an identity that
holds only at N=1. Broadcast one target to two inverters and each supplies it
in full; the loop gain at the meter becomes N times the per-unit gain, which
at the gain config.yaml:374 accepts is a permanent limit cycle with every
watchdog in §11.2 reporting healthy. And a per-inverter reserve filed as a
site `hi` against the peak guard's site `lo` is `lo > hi`, arbiter clause 3,
0 W IN THE BILLED QUARTER - the parked battery SAFETY-25's memo calls fatal.

THE SPLIT, VERIFIED AT EACH CONSTRUCTION SITE RATHER THAN ACCEPTED FROM THE
SURVEY. Four sources are about the GRID CONNECTION and are SITE claims:
`loop` (compute() regulates grid_w, the P1 measurement, and §6.2's whole
architecture is one integrator on P1 whose output is then split), `peak` (the
15-minute average offtake AT the grid connection, which is what the capacity
tariff bills - one quarter-hour peak per site, not one per pack),
`arbitrage` (buys and sells at the grid against a day-ahead price; the price
is a property of the connection and the energy crosses the meter) and
`safety` (both construction sites read: "stopped" is the operator switching
control off for the site, "inputs missing" is the site's own meter gone -
neither is about a pack, and both must stop every inverter).

Four are about a pack, a device or one write and are PER-INVERTER: `device`
(one inverter's own reported min/max - there is no site rating),
`supervised` (max_w caps what may be WRITTEN to one setpoint entity, §11.3,
so it is scoped like `device` for the same reason), `maintenance` (§12's
recalibration is a pack procedure - drain THIS pack, charge THIS pack,
recalibrate THIS pack's counter) and `failsafe`. `failsafe` is the entry that
needed the reading rather than the survey: SAFETY-02's EVIDENCE is site-wide
(it compares P1 against the standing command) but its CONCLUSION is
"the unit I am driving is pushing power the wrong way" and its remedy is to
park that unit. At N>=2 the same evidence cannot be attributed to a sibling
this controller never commanded, so a site-wide stop would park an inverter
this watchdog never graded. The reasoning for all eight is recorded AT THE
LINE, in arbiter.CLAIM_SCOPE and again at each claims.append in main.py.

WHAT WAS BUILT. resolve() is three stages, each a separate function so a test
can construct a case at any one of them:

  pre_resolve()  - one inverter's own claims -> that unit's interval. Clauses
                   1 and 2 transposed: the unit's own winning SET gates its
                   own limits. The SET's value travels BESIDE the interval,
                   not inside it - folding a -2500 W drain into
                   [-2500, -2500] would turn "clamped to max_w" into
                   "contradicts max_w", a different and wrong answer.
  site_resolve() - THE SHIPPED ARBITER, UNCHANGED. Same code, new name.
  allocate()     - THE SEAM, AND DELIBERATELY NOT AN ALLOCATOR. ALLOC-01
                   builds it. At N<=1 it passes the target through (§6.2's
                   identity). At N>=2 it DECLINES - no shares,
                   allocated=False - and main.py refuses to write rather than
                   broadcast, because the obvious placeholder (hand the target
                   to each) is the fault ARCH-01 was filed about and no guard
                   we have can tell it apart from the real thing.

THE CONTRADICTION IS NOT GUARDED AGAINST, IT CANNOT BE WRITTEN DOWN. The
partition is by `actuator` and it is a partition: a unit's `hi` and the site's
`lo` are never both terms of one `lo > hi` test. Constructed and swept - 40
filings (every per-inverter source x unit x bound, including a unit
contradicting ITSELF at lo 900 > hi 100) against a live site floor, and not
one moves the site target or raises a contradiction. A unit's own impossible
pair parks that unit and says so on its own bounds; it does not park the site.
That is SAFETY-25 §0c's table made mechanical.

AT N=1 THIS IS A PURE REFACTOR, AND THAT IS PROVEN RATHER THAN ASSERTED. With
one inverter the fabricated grid reading and the battery setpoint are the same
number, so the grid connection and the only unit ARE one actuator:
actuator_for() routes every source to the site, no claim is filed on a unit,
stage 2 sees the whole list and answers what the shipped arbiter answered.
All 17 suites replay UNEDITED above the ARB-03 sections and are green on the
same numbers; test_arbiter.py additionally runs 13 claim lists through both
resolve() and site_resolve() and compares target, winner, binder,
contradiction flag, the considered list and the operator line.

EVIDENCE, BY BREAKING EACH THING (tools/mutation_run.sh, purged tree):
  * Claim's dataclass default emptied            -> RED (test_arbiter)
    ...and it survived until the check was added: the two helpers pass their
    own default down, so the FIELD's default never ran. Now checked directly.
  * `peak` reclassified SCOPE_UNIT               -> RED (arbiter x4, peakguard x2)
  * `maintenance` reclassified SCOPE_SITE        -> RED (arbiter x4, peakguard)
  * the N=1 identity dropped in actuator_for()   -> RED (arbiter, peakguard
    incl. the maintenance/peak suppression checks, freeze) - which is the
    measurement that says splitting at N=1 would be a behaviour change
  * resolve() stops partitioning                 -> RED (arbiter x4)
  * allocate() broadcasts at N>=2                -> RED (arbiter x2)
  * stage 1 drops clause-2 gating                -> RED (arbiter)
  * a call site routes `device` through `loop`   -> RED (peakguard 10g)
  * SAFETY-25 Option B built as a ninth source   -> RED (peakguard 10f, both
    halves, plus 10g) - the tripwire still bites

SAFETY-24's asymmetry proof is re-run and holds: 0 negative floors over the
shipped sweep, `hi` still +inf on every claim the guard files, and it now also
asserts every one of them is on the SITE actuator - a floor bound to one
inverter's share would leave the site, the thing the capacity tariff meters,
with no floor at all.

test_peakguard.py part 10f is kept, not adapted around. `source` is still
Claim.set()'s first positional argument precisely so its AST scan keeps
reading it, which is why `actuator` is the LAST field of Claim and not the
first - moving `source` off position 0 would silently blind the tripwire that
guards SAFETY-25's deferred option. The one adaptation is `**kw` on its spy,
so main.py's roster passes through unread rather than being silently dropped.
New part 10g pins CLAIM_SCOPE to the same eight-source set and grades a REAL
two-inverter cycle, which is the only place a mis-typed actuator_of(...) at a
call site is observable - at N=1 every source legitimately routes to the site,
so a swap there is invisible by construction.

No config key, no option, no operator surface, no default moved. Inverter B
does not exist yet and nothing here measures it.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 ab6fbe2f9e SAFETY-25: record the owner's decision - option a, with alloc-01 as the revisit trigger
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 3m43s
The product owner answered SAFETY-25's §1 on 2026-09-02: OPTION A. The BMS
cut-out is the DELIBERATE and only backstop for demand-driven discharge on the
grid-following loop, and Option B - a loop-side reserve floor - is DEFERRED
rather than rejected.

Option A is the shipped behaviour, so this is a recording, not a change. `app/`
is touched in exactly two places and both are comments that claimed the question
was still open (freeze.py's finding, peakguard.py's point 2). No setpoint, no
claim, no option, no default moved. The 17-suite run is green on the same
numbers as before.

WHY DEFERRING IS THE SAFE DIRECTION. Option B's proof - bms_soc_floor <
loop_soc_floor <= peak_soc_floor, run through the real arbiter in
test_peakguard.py part 10d - has an unstated premise: the reserve predicate and
discharge_permitted() read the SAME state of charge. With two packs they read
different numbers. The reserve binds on the emptier pack and files hi = 0; the
peak guard, reading the other pack or an average, files lo = excess > 0; lo > hi
is arbiter clause 3 and the answer is 0 W - the battery parked in the billed
quarter, which is the failure the memo itself marks fatal. And no config
validator can catch it: it is a runtime divergence between two readings, not a
config ordering, so CFG-01's shape of check passes on the exact tree that parks
the battery. Option A's cost is energy; Option B's cost built too early is the
one quarter of the month that sets the bill.

THE REVISIT TRIGGER IS ALLOC-01, recorded in §0c. Under ARCH-01's host-side
allocator the two claims stop sharing a list: the loop floor becomes a
per-inverter `hi` consumed as an INTERVAL at stage A, while the peak floor stays
a site `lo` at stage B. Different claim lists, different stages, structurally
unable to cross - a stronger argument than the ordering rule, because it makes
the crossing unreachable rather than harmless. That is the shape in which Option
B becomes safe to build.

WHAT HAS TO BE RE-EARNED AT N=2 is stated plainly in §0d rather than left for
someone to discover. SAFETY-27 now names five floors across two packs, so "the
SoC" stops being a scalar the config can bound. And part 10f - the pin that made
SAFETY-25 mergeable - CANNOT EXPRESS TWO PACKS: its dynamic half is a scalar
0-100 % SoC sweep against a single-series capture, and a two-pack exposure lives
in the DIFFERENCE between two readings, which that sweep visits at no
resolution. Its static half, the AST scan pinning the eight claim sources, still
bites at N=2; the dynamic half goes silent. Merging a two-pack reserve on 10f's
current green would be merging on a check that cannot see the failure.

The options analysis is kept intact on purpose - §1-§7 stand exactly as written,
including §5's "(recommended)" on Option B and §6's recommendation, with a new
§0 saying what was decided and §6 marked as answered. A memo that recorded the
verdict and deleted the reasoning is the failure this DECISIONS/ directory
exists to prevent.

Part 10e's check moved with the memo: it used to pin the honest "Status: OPEN"
line and now pins that the memo names the option, the date and the trigger AND
still carries both options and the recommendation. The tripwire itself stays -
a ninth claim source in Controller.cycle() still takes 10f red on the line it is
written, and "deferred" is precisely the state in which someone builds Option B
by accident.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 acbdf41248 TEST-13: grade record_block()'s policy argument, and the two import spellings SAFETY-20's check could not see
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 3m55s
Two survivors from TARIFF-01's review, closed in test_tariff.py only. app/ is
untouched and no shipped behaviour changes. Two further items on the card were
already closed in shipped code and are struck rather than re-implemented.

ITEM 1 - the per-phase reduction's PLUMBING was unobservable.

  Mutating PeakStore.record_block()'s `billed_w(block, policy)` to
  `billed_w(block, POLICY_NET)` (+4 B) leaves all 17 suites green. Measured
  three times now: by TARIFF-01's reviewer, re-run through TEST-15's purge
  harness this session, and re-run again here on a clean uncontended tree.

  The product code is correct - tariff.py:363 really is
  `def record_block(self, block, policy: str = POLICY_NET)` and it really does
  forward the argument. What was missing is any check that could tell that
  apart from a hardcoded call, and the reason is the third instance of one
  shape: A STIMULUS EVALUATED WHERE THE QUANTITY IT GRADES IS DEGENERATE, after
  WITNESS-02's span normalisation and TARIFF-01's own DST window.

  billed_w() short-circuits to block.offtake_avg_w whenever
  per_phase_offtake_avg_w is absent. Every block reaching a store anywhere in
  the suite was single-phase or built as _CB(..., None) - so NET, SUM and MAX
  collapsed onto one number and the argument could not be observed at the call
  site. Section 7 grades the FUNCTION on an unbalanced fixture and says nothing
  about its CALLER.

  So section 7's own (3000, 500, -200) W block - whose three reductions are
  3300 / 3500 / 3000 W, asserted distinct three lines above - is now
  round-tripped THROUGH the store under each policy and read back from both
  tables (peak() and recompute_month(), so both writes in that single
  transaction are graded). record_block() with no policy is checked to bank the
  NET figure. An anti-degeneracy pin is stated over the three BANKED numbers,
  not over vals, because it is the banked ones this triple is made of.

  Direction, which is why this is worth plumbing-testing: NET is the SMALLEST
  of the three here, because the exporting phase nets off. A store that quietly
  billed NET while asked for MAX would UNDER-record the month's peak, and an
  under-recorded peak is maximum headroom for SAFETY-07 - the same
  under-guarding direction as the getattr(..., 0.0) default SAFETY-07 already
  removed from project().

ITEM 2 - the SAFETY-20 import grader claimed more than it checked.

  It collected `m.module for m in walk(tree) if isinstance(m, ImportFrom)` and
  matched a literal list of six spellings. That is blind to two of Python's
  three import forms:

    * `from . import arbiter as _ab` is an ImportFrom whose .module is None -
      the dots are in .level and the module name is in .names - so it collected
      "" and matched nothing;
    * `import app.arbiter` is an ast.Import node the walk filtered out entirely.

  Both were added to app/tariff.py and the shipped suite stayed GREEN, with the
  _names half not firing either (an alias import creates no Name node). Low
  severity: any USE of either alias still produces an Attribute the _names half
  catches. But the printed sentence "it imports nothing from arbiter, clamp or
  control" was false for two forms out of three, and a check that overclaims is
  worse than one that claims less, because the next reader stops looking.

  _imported_modules() now walks Import as well as ImportFrom and joins
  `from . import X` onto its base. _forbidden_imports() matches per dotted
  SEGMENT, not by substring: `app.arbiter` must not hide behind a package
  prefix, and `clamps` / `arbiters` / `controller` must not be falsely flagged -
  `controller` is not hypothetical, this package is goodwe_controller. Five
  evasion spellings and eight innocent ones grade the grader itself, and both
  the name half and the import half are shown non-vacuous against main.py,
  which carries all three import forms and really does import all three modules.

ITEMS 3 AND 4 - ALREADY CLOSED. STRUCK, NOT RE-IMPLEMENTED.

  Item 3: app/tariff.py:266-267 is `def is_observed(self): return self.state ==
  OBSERVED`, already false for NO_RECORD. Nothing to do.

  Item 4: app/tariff.py:672-680 reads `held = max(averager.held_net_w, 0.0)`
  with NO getattr default, and carries a comment naming TEST-13 item 4. Fixed
  by SAFETY-07 in 616b62d; held_net_w is a documented public property on
  QuarterAverager (p1.py:290), so a rename raises AttributeError on the first
  cycle instead of crediting 0 W held. A projection crediting 0 W held reads
  LOW, which is the under-guarding direction for SAFETY-07's floor. Restoring
  a default would re-open a money guard.

  And the recorded NON-finding stays a non-finding: removing clear_partial()
  is still green and that is a PASS. quarter_start is the PRIMARY KEY and the
  upsert carries `ON CONFLICT ... WHERE excluded.offtake_avg_w >
  quarter_blocks.offtake_avg_w`, so a replay is a structural no-op. That
  demonstrates TARIFF-01's "double counting is answered structurally, not by
  care" claim rather than contradicting it.

ONE THING THE REVIEWER SHOULD KNOW. During the first (contended - two docker
containers at once) run of that 17-suite survivor sweep, test_peakguard.py
reported FAIL once. It has passed 8 times since on the identical tree,
including three concurrent runs and one clean uncontended full sweep, and its
tail was lost to a grep so I cannot say which check it was. I believe it is a
timing-sensitive check under CPU contention and NOT related to this change -
this commit touches no product code and no peakguard fixture - but I could not
reproduce it, so I am recording it rather than asserting it away.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 20f9f4969d TEST-16: pin the two one-sided arbitrage rungs, and un-mask them from each other
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 3m51s
SAFETY-26's AC4 gave the same tolerance mutation to every price and quantity
boundary in arbitrage.py and static_tariff.py. Everything in arbitrage.py went
red - `price < 0`, `soc <= floor_pct`, `soc >= ceiling_pct` are each red under
+/-5. Two survived, both in static_tariff.py, and this card closes them.

  D  `spread == 0.0` (:912) weakened to `spread <= 0.001` SURVIVED at +2 B.
  F  `len(firm) < 2` (:901) weakened to `len(firm) < 1` SURVIVED at +0 B - the
     delta MUTATION.md names as the risky one.

THE DEFECT IS NOT EITHER ROW, IT IS THE INTERACTION. D and F MASK EACH OTHER. A
single firm hour also has a spread of 0.0, so with F weakened the flat rung
refuses the stimulus anyway; with D weakened the small-but-real spread is still
refused, only for a lie. Each rung's failure is absorbed by the other, so BOTH
can be weakened together and a suite grading `kind == "refused"` reports
nothing. That is structurally invisible to single-mutation testing, which is how
this pair came through four rounds of review on TARIFF-03 and FCST-03 - and it
is the arrangement in which the next edit to either rung opens a real hole with
nothing to report it.

D is not cosmetic either. With the tolerance in place a series priced 0.20000 /
0.20050 - a REAL 0.0005 EUR/kWh spread - flips ALLOWED to REFUSED at
min_spread_eur_kwh=0.0, a value arbitrage()'s own docstring documents ("pass 0.0
to mean any positive spread, explicitly") and its validator at :861 accepts on
purpose. At a shipped threshold the outcome does not move, but the operator
reads the false sentence "the tariff is flat - every one of the 2 firm hours
costs 0.2000 EUR/kWh" about a tariff that is not flat.

WHAT WAS ADDED. test_static_tariff.py section 9, and the shape of it is the
argument:

  * THE REASON IS GRADED, NOT THE VERDICT. The masked case refuses CORRECTLY
    while reporting the wrong sentence, so a check asserting only "refused"
    passes on a broken tree. A `rung9()` helper names which refusal answered,
    from the sentence the operator would read; an unrecognised refusal reports
    itself as UNATTRIBUTED rather than quietly matching nothing.
  * EACH RUNG IS GIVEN A STIMULUS THE OTHER CANNOT ABSORB, or the pinning is
    circular. The flat rung gets a THREE-firm-hour flat series, which no
    `len(firm) < N` a person would write can reach. The firm-pair rung gets a
    ONE-FIRM-HOUR series, which the flat rung CAN reach - so its attribution is
    the whole check, and that is why it is written as a rung name rather than a
    verdict.
  * AC1 is a sweep of small-but-real spreads (0.0005 down to 0.000001) all
    ALLOWED at min_spread_eur_kwh=0.0, with the exactly flat series on the other
    side still refused BY THE FLAT RUNG - without that mirror the sweep would
    also pass for a rung deleted outright. 1e-6 is the floor because the shipped
    line rounds the spread to 6 decimals; that quantisation is graded in the
    open as its own row rather than left unstated.
  * AC3 is a five-row table graded on rung attribution, which denies the masking
    from both sides at once.
  * The firm-pair count is also pinned from ABOVE (`< 3`) and BELOW (`< 0`),
    which the criteria do not ask for but which is what stops this section being
    one-sided in exactly the way it was written to fix.

EVIDENCE. Eight rounds through TEST-15's tools/mutation_run.sh, used UNCHANGED:
recursive __pycache__ purge before each run, python3 -B, the tree re-copied FROM
DISK between rounds, the mutated line grepped out of the file before the run,
byte delta printed, test_static_tariff.py and test_arbitrage.py graded each
time. Baseline green.

  baseline, shipped                            +0 B  PASS
  D1  `spread == 0.0` -> `<= 0.001`            +2 B  RED, 3 checks
  D2  `spread == 0.0` -> `<= 0.000001`         +5 B  RED, AC1 alone
  D3  `spread == 0.0` -> `< 0.0`  (rung gone)  +0 B  RED (section 2 as well)
  F1  `len(firm) < 2` -> `< 1`                 +0 B  RED, 3 checks
  F2  `len(firm) < 2` -> `< 3`                 +0 B  RED, 6 checks
  F3  `len(firm) < 2` -> `< 0`  (rung gone)    +0 B  RED (ValueError)
  D1+F1  BOTH AT ONCE - THE TICKET             +2 B  RED, 5 checks

Four of the seven are +0 B, the delta MUTATION.md names as the one stale
bytecode can hide. All are REDS, the direction that defect cannot fabricate -
but they were run under the purge anyway, because "it went red so the cache
cannot have lied" is a conclusion and not a procedure.

NO SHIPPED BEHAVIOUR CHANGED. app/ is untouched; both rungs were correct all
along, and the card is explicit that a rung found actually wrong is a stop-and-
report rather than an edit. Also updated: MUTATION.md gains a short section on
masking as a SECOND way a survivor lies, with the two rules that fall out of it
(grade the reason, and mutate suspected pairs together); and test_arbitrage.py's
SAFETY-26 AC4 note is marked closed rather than left reading as an open finding.

UNSURE ABOUT. The 5e-7 row asserts the shipped `round(spread, 6)` quantisation.
That is a real property of the line and worth stating, but it does pin a
rounding the ticket never named - if a reviewer would rather that stayed
unpinned, it is one check to drop and nothing else depends on it.

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

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

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

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

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

Full suite: 17/17 green in goodwe-addon-ci.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 d0b053b150 TEST-10: pin max_w beside the meter_freeze_s key TEST-06 already pinned
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 3m43s
max_w and the LIVE_MAX_W literal beside it were the two survivors left
after TEST-06 pinned meter_freeze_s: changing max_w 2000 -> 4500 in
config.yaml passed every check in test_freeze.py and test_tariff.py
GREEN, and LIVE_MAX_W = 5000.0 was a bare literal that silently
disagreed with the shipped max_w (2000) with nothing in the file
saying so. For contrast, deadband_w 15 -> 5 already went RED 2 + 1,
so the pinning technique was known to work - it just was not applied
to the key either side of it.

Three changes, each measured:

1. test_freeze.py gains a check comparing Tuning()'s code default
   (control.py, 2000.0) against SHIPPED_MAX_W, read from config.yaml
   by extending the file's existing _cfg_default() regex reader
   rather than reimplementing test_arbitrage.py's _shipped. Broken
   and confirmed red: max_w: 2000 -> 4500 in config.yaml now fails
   exactly "the code default and the shipped default agree on max_w
   too" and nothing else in either file; reverting returns both files
   to all-green. (AC 1, AC 4)

2. LIVE_MAX_W is renamed LIVE_INSTALL_MAX_W in both test_freeze.py
   and test_tariff.py, each with a comment stating plainly that 5000
   is the live install's own override, not config.yaml's shipped
   max_w (2000) - the defect was a literal that could be misread as
   the shipped default, not the number itself. (AC 2)

3. test_freeze.py states PINNED_KEYS = ("meter_freeze_s", "deadband_w",
   "max_w") in one place as the complete set of config keys this
   suite pins. Deliberately excludes maintenance_* - CFG-03 (merged
   into release/1.0 since this branch started, merged in here) gave
   those keys a separate single source of truth in app/maintenance.py
   and this ticket has no reason to duplicate that pin. Not every key
   in config.yaml is pinned here on purpose: meter_freeze_s,
   deadband_w and max_w are the three this file's mutual-exclusion
   arithmetic (section 2b) actually reasons about together. (AC 3)

Full 17-file suite run green under goodwe-addon-ci after the merge
with release/1.0 (f630ed9, CFG-03). CHANGELOG.md updated under
Unreleased.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 d5b1ef19b3 CFG-03: give maintenance option defaults one source of truth
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 3m44s
Option defaults for the maintenance cycle were declared in three places that
could disagree, and MAINT-04 proved they already did. config.yaml shipped
`maintenance_charge_w: 2000`; main.py carried TWO `opts.get(..., 2500)`
fallbacks; MaintConfig's dataclass carried a third `2500.0`. So an options dict
with the key ABSENT was ACCEPTED by validate.py's rule 6 - which read 2000 -
and then built by main.py at 2500, against a 2000 W ceiling:

    options dict with maintenance_charge_w ABSENT, max_w=2000
      validate_startup_config  ->  []  (accepted, no problems)
      MaintConfig().charge_w   ->  2500.0
      arbiter.resolve()        ->  0.0 W, contradiction=True

That is the bug rule 6 exists to refuse, passing rule 6. It is unreachable on a
Supervisor install, which always supplies every key from config.yaml, and fully
reachable from sim/inject.py and from the test suite - which is where anyone
debugging maintenance actually works.

MAINT-04 shipped a TRIPWIRE and said so: test_validate.py pinned all three
literals and asserted the consequence through the real arbiter, so the
divergence could not silently widen or be half-closed. Its PASSING CONDITION
WAS THE BUG. Both it and validate.py's comment said to delete each other when
the divergence was closed. It is closed, so both are deleted.

THE DIVERGENCE WAS WIDER THAN ONE KEY. `maintenance_discharge_w` had the
identical three-way split (config.yaml 2000, MaintConfig 2500) and the card
named only the charge side. Closing one and leaving its twin would have
satisfied the numbers and left three sources of truth one line down, which is
the state that produced the bug. Both are closed, and so is the whole family:
all eight `maintenance_*` keys go through the same mechanism.

WHAT THE SINGLE SOURCE IS. config.yaml's `options:` block - it is what the
Supervisor reads and what the operator edits, so it wins by definition. There
is now exactly one in-code copy, `maintenance.MAINT_OPTION_DEFAULTS`, which is
TARIFF-02's `PRICE_OPTION_DEFAULTS` and SAFETY-24's `PEAK_OPTION_DEFAULTS`
pattern applied to the family that named the card - validate.py's rule 8 comment
already called that "CFG-03 read as a rule rather than as a complaint", so this
makes the rule hold where it was first broken rather than inventing a fourth
mechanism for one option family.

A MIRROR RATHER THAN A RUNTIME READ, and the reason is mechanical: the
Dockerfile copies `app/` and `run.sh` into the image and NOT config.yaml. The
running add-on cannot open the file it is configured by, so there is nothing to
read at 03:00 on a client's Pi, and a YAML-subset parser that could fail at
import is a new way for the add-on not to start. What makes the copy safe is
that test_maintenance.py pins every entry by READING the shipped file - drift is
a CI failure, not a comment.

EVERY OTHER SITE NOW DERIVES FROM IT OR HAS CEASED TO EXIST:

  * MaintConfig's eight dataclass defaults are indexed out of the mirror. No
    numeric literal survives in the class that held the third opinion.
  * `MaintConfig.from_options()` is the ONLY place in the add-on that reads a
    `maintenance_*` option. main.py's eight inline `opts.get(key, <literal>)`
    calls are gone: moving the read next to the mirror means the fallback cannot
    be anything but the mirror, because there is no literal in sight of it to
    disagree with. It uses `key in opts` rather than truthiness, so a shipped
    `false` or `0` is honoured instead of being quietly replaced by the default
    - this card's own bug in a different costume.
  * main.py's SECOND fallback site - the cheap-window charge floor at the
    P_MAINT_SHAPE claim - reads `self.maint.cfg.charge_w` instead of re-opening
    the options dict with its own literal. The Controller had already parsed
    this once in __init__; asking the object that owns it cannot drift from it,
    and the rate the shaping asks for can no longer be a different number from
    the rate the state machine drains at on the same install.
  * validate.py's rule 6 and its `maintenance_discharge_w` warning take their
    fallbacks from the mirror.

WHERE THE RANGE LIVES, STATED AND CHECKED. config.yaml's `schema:` block carries
`maintenance_charge_w: int(500,5000)` - a fourth declaration site of a different
kind. It is a BOUND, not a default, so it is not this bug; but leaving the
question open is how a fifth site arrives. The decision recorded in config.yaml
and in maintenance.py is: bounds live in the schema block ONLY, because the
Supervisor is what enforces them and the Supervisor reads only that file, so a
Python copy of `int(500,5000)` would be a place to disagree and nothing else.
test_maintenance.py checks both halves of that: every mirrored key must have a
schema entry - without one the Supervisor drops the option and the add-on
silently runs on the mirror instead of the operator's value - and every shipped
default must lie INSIDE its own range, since a default the schema rejects is a
config that cannot be re-entered once it is edited. What the schema grammar
cannot express is a relation BETWEEN keys (`maintenance_charge_w` against
`max_w`), which is exactly why rule 6 is written in Python and why it does not
belong in the mirror either.

THE REPLACEMENT CHECKS, AND HOW THEY WERE VERIFIED. test_validate.py's new
section exercises the same four consumers the defect ran through, the same way:
the validator ACCEPTS a dict with every maintenance key missing; a REAL
Controller built from that same dict holds 2000 W (through main.py, not through
a regex over its source); `MaintConfig()` answers 2000 W with no dict at all;
and the real arbiter emits `-2000 W, limited by supervised(max_w)` instead of
`0 W, contradiction=True`. test_maintenance.py pins the mirror to config.yaml in
both directions - equal values, and full coverage of every `maintenance_*` key
the file ships, so a ninth key cannot arrive unmirrored - and asserts the
consumers move as a RELATION rather than against numbers, reading MaintConfig's
defaults back out of `dataclasses.fields()`.

Each new check was verified by BREAKING the thing it watches and observing red,
this project's rule:

  1. config.yaml -> 1500, mirror left at 2000:  test_maintenance 1 FAILED,
     test_validate 4 FAILED.
  2. config.yaml AND the mirror -> 1500: green again, and every consumer moved
     together - MaintConfig() 1500 W, the Controller 1500 W, and the arbiter
     `-1500 W, limited by maintenance(cheap-window charge)` where it had said
     `-2000 W, limited by supervised(max_w)`. That is AC4: change the single
     source and watch the consumers follow.
  3. `charge_w: float = 2500.0` retyped into the dataclass: 2 FAILED in each of
     the two files.
  4. `opts.get("maintenance_charge_w", 2500)` restored in main.py: 1 FAILED,
     naming the file and the literal it found.
  5. `maintenance_hold_min` deleted from config.yaml's options block: 3 FAILED.

Full suite 17/17 in goodwe-addon-ci, twice, once under parallel load.

Stale prose that asserted the now-closed divergence as current is corrected in
app/watchdog.py, test_watchdog.py and test_peakguard.py - watchdog.py's example
still uses 1500 W, but because the point of the example is a charge strictly
inside the ceiling, not because 2500 is what ships.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 e498dd4c1c SAFETY-25: pin the claim-source set, so the tripwire is one
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 3m53s
The durability claim this PR shipped was FALSE, and the reviewer of #31
disproved it by building the fix. Part 10 said, in four committed places,
that it "goes RED the day a loop-side floor is built, so the exposure
cannot change size under a green suite". The reviewer implemented the
memo's own recommended Option B in main.py - a
`Claim.limit("reserve", P_LOOP, hi=0.0)` filed under a `loop_soc_floor` -
and the ENTIRE SUITE STAYED GREEN. Part 10 green. Mutation 13 went on
printing "NOTHING PREVENTS IT, ON PURPOSE" and the same 21 % -> 10.0 %,
on a tree where something DID prevent it. Pushed to an absurd
always-binding 95 % reserve it was caught only by SAFETY-24's pre-existing
part 7 wiring checks; part 10 was still green.

THE CAUSE IS STRUCTURAL, not a missing assertion. `replay_loop()`
hand-builds main.py's claim list as a literal
`[supervised, loop, peakguard.claim(...)]`, so it is blind to any claim
main.py ADDS - which is exactly where AC 2 would be built. That is this
repository's named failure mode: a check that observed something other
than what it claimed to observe, shipped as a guarantee inside the
document that recommends the change.

THE FIX IS 10f: THE CLAIM-SOURCE SET, PINNED, two ways because the two
fail differently.

  * STATICALLY, over `Controller.cycle()`'s own AST. Every
    `claims.append(...)` in it must be one the scan can read - an
    unreadable append FAILS rather than counting as nothing, which is how
    a scan like this goes quietly vacuous - and the sources it can file
    must be exactly {device, supervised, failsafe, safety, peak,
    arbitrage, maintenance, loop}. A ninth takes part 10 red on the line
    it is written, in every configuration, whether or not any fixture
    here reaches the state that files it.
  * DYNAMICALLY, through REAL `Controller.cycle()`s with main.py's OWN
    `resolve` spied - not a list this file built and hoped matched -
    swept over the WHOLE 0..100 % SoC range in the two states 10a-10c
    replay. Idle: exactly {device, supervised, loop}. Floor-limited:
    exactly {device, supervised, loop, peak}. A claim conditioned on a
    low pack, which is the shape a loop-side floor has, cannot hide from
    a sweep that visits 0 %.

And the fold is checked rather than assumed: main.py's two P_SAFETY
rating limits are both symmetric LIMITs, so replay_loop() modelling them
as one `supervised` claim at the tighter bound is exact.

MEASURED AGAINST THE COUNTEREXAMPLE. Reproduced first on the unfixed
tree (green, as reported). On this tree the reviewer's Option B at its
recommended default takes part 10 RED on 3 checks, and the 95 % variant
on 6. Nine mutations were run in all, each against a freshly copied tree
with no `__pycache__` present, mounted `:ro`; all nine red, no survivors,
no `+0 B` delta. MUTATION.md records why a second round was needed: the
first round's mutations were all aimed at DISARMING the guard, while the
claim part 10 actually made was about the guard being FIXED.

The four false sentences are replaced with what is now true, and each
says WHICH half catches WHICH shape - 10f for an arbiter claim
(Options B and C), 10a-10c for a clamp inside control.compute() or the
guard (Option D), which the replay drives directly.

AC 2 IS STILL OPEN AND NOTHING HERE BUILDS IT. The loop-side floor was a
test mutant, reverted before commit. The memo still says "Status: OPEN.
This is a memo, not a decision."

Also, non-blocking, from the same review: the NOT READY banner had
inherited the new scope sentence and become a ~550-character paragraph
that the row three lines below repeated verbatim. A checks() row may now
carry an optional short `banner` form; the floor-limited row does, and
`status_payload()` prefers it. THE ROW IS UNCHANGED - shortening that
would have been weakening AC 3 - and rows without the key are
unaffected. Graded, and mutated: dropping the short form goes red.

Merged origin/release/1.0 first (CI-02), keeping both tickets' CHANGELOG
entries.

Full suite green: 17/17 in goodwe-addon-ci (test_ci_gate.py needs `git`,
which CI-02 added to .gitea/ci/Dockerfile but the local image lacks; run
with it installed and it passes).

CI-02 landed on release/1.0 after this branch was opened and both tickets
add a block under `## Unreleased`, so CHANGELOG.md collided. Both entries
are kept, newest-first: SAFETY-25's, then CI-02's, then SAFETY-20's.

adminandClaude Opus 5 182102eeaf SAFETY-25: say what peak_soc_floor bounds, and measure what it does not
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 3m41s
peak_soc_floor reads like a pack-wide reserve and is not one. The
grid-following loop has no SoC guard of any kind, so on a sustained-load
evening it discharges straight past that number and keeps going until the
pack's own BMS cut-out stops it.

The gap has now been written down four times without being filed -
SAFETY-18's finding (freeze.py:18), SAFETY-24's module note, its PR body,
and its honestly-uncaught 13th mutation - and never once measured. It is
measured here, on the committed 2026-08-20 capture, driving the SHIPPED
control.compute(), peakguard.decide(), peakguard.claim() and the real
arbiter.resolve() in main.py's order:

    19:00-22:00 UTC, 830 W mean, minimum 701 W, zero export in the window
    reference pack (300 Ah x 51.2 V x DoD 90) started at 21 %, one point
    above peak_soc_floor

      ends at 10.0 %  -  the bms_soc_floor cut-out
      1525 Wh delivered by the LOOP over 587 cycles
      549 cycles below peak_soc_floor, 343 of them still discharging
      0 cycles on which the peak guard filed any floor at all

AND IT IS A BEHAVIOUR, NOT A CONFIG VALUE. The same evening ends at
9.9715 % at peak_soc_floor = 5, 11, 20 and 60 - the shipped value and both
ends of the schema range - identical to four decimal places. The option an
operator would reach for cannot move the number by any amount at all. On
the same day's high-load block the two states coexist: 49 cycles reporting
PEAK GUARD FLOOR-LIMITED and, on all 49 of them, the arbiter simultaneously
granting the loop up to 2000 W of discharge.

WHY SAFETY-24 COULD NOT CLOSE IT. The peak guard files a `lo` limit - a
LOWER bound on the setpoint. That asymmetry is exactly what makes it
trustworthy: a reviewer proved across 19,800 combinations that it can never
lower a target, cap a discharge or contradict the arbiter. The same property
makes it structurally incapable of stopping a discharge the loop itself
wants. A floor on the guard cannot become a floor on the pack by being
raised, and the sweep above is that sentence measured.

WHAT THIS COMMIT CHANGES IS THE HONESTY, on the four surfaces an operator
actually reads. That half is required whichever way the open question is
answered, and it is the real misstatement on the live system today:

  * config.yaml, beside the option itself - it BOUNDS THE PEAK GUARD ONLY
    and is NOT A PACK-WIDE RESERVE, with the replayed evening and the sweep;
  * DOCS.md, in the options table and in a new section carrying the figures;
  * the STATUS-PAGE ROW for a floor-limited guard. This is the one line a
    human reads at the moment the guard stops discharging, and read alone it
    says "the battery is being held at peak_soc_floor" - which the replay
    shows is false in every cycle that row is rendered;
  * the PERSISTENT NOTIFICATION, which outlives the page. It now names what
    has stopped (the guard buying a lower bill) and what has not (the pack
    being spent).

peakguard.py and freeze.py carry the measurement beside the findings they
already recorded, so the next reader does not have to take the caveat on
trust.

THE PRODUCT DECISION IS NOT TAKEN HERE, and must not be. Whether the loop
gets a reserve floor of its own decides whether this house's battery may
discharge to the BMS floor on a heavy evening; that moves real energy and it
is the owner's call. DECISIONS/SAFETY-25-loop-soc-floor.md is the memo AC 1
asks for: the options, what each costs, what each protects, weighed against
MAINT-01 (a pack repeatedly at the BMS floor is the SoC-drift condition the
maintenance cycle exists to correct, and an over-tight reserve fights it from
the other side) and against the fact that this would be the FIFTH SoC key -
OPT-04's arbitrage_soc_floor fired SAFETY-24's "revisit if a third floor
appears" trigger unremarked, so SAFETY-27's naming decision should land
first. It carries a recommendation and says plainly that it is not a
decision.

It also records a trap found while writing it, and now CHECKED through the
real arbiter rather than described: the obvious shape of a loop-side floor
is a `hi` limit at P_LOOP, and filed while the peak guard is asking for a
positive floor that is `lo > hi` - which arbiter.py resolves to a
CONTRADICTION at 0 W, the battery PARKED in the one quarter of the month
that sets the bill. It is the same crossing-limits hazard
shaping_suspended() already exists to avoid. The ordering
`bms_soc_floor < loop_soc_floor <= peak_soc_floor` removes it provably,
because wherever the reserve binds the guard is already floor-limited and
files lo = 0; both halves are run in part 10d.

test_peakguard.py part 10 is a TRIPWIRE, not a guarantee. It records a
defect and goes RED the day somebody builds a loop-side floor, so the
exposure cannot change size under a green suite and closing it has to be
deliberate. Part 11's mutation 13 stays honestly NOT CAUGHT - nothing
prevents the loop discharging past this floor - but it now reports a number
instead of a sentence.

Verified: 16/16 suites green in the CI image. Eight mutations, each against
a tree copied fresh with __pycache__ excluded and mounted :ro, so no .pyc
existed to go stale (MUTATION.md's structural immunity, the same one it
records for CI); byte deltas +61, -8, -465, -430, -1088, -46, file deleted,
and -95; none is +0 B. All eight go red on the named check:

  M1 peakguard.claim() also files hi=floor_w        -> 7 red, incl. 10c
  M2 control.compute() gain forced to 0             -> 6 red, incl. 10a/10b
  M3 scope sentence removed from the status row     -> 10e red
  M4 scope sentence removed from the notification   -> 10e red
  M5 scope paragraph removed from config.yaml       -> 10e red
  M6 scope bullet weakened in DOCS.md               -> 10e red
  M7 the decision memo deleted                      -> 10e red
  M8 arbiter clamps crossing limits instead of
     reporting a contradiction                      -> 5 red, incl. 10d

AC 2 is left explicitly OPEN, pending the owner's answer.

adminandClaude Opus 5 1e4bad8aa7 CI-02: grade the merge, and stop a cancelled run reading as a test failure
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 3m44s
Two things a green from `checks / unit (pull_request)` was claiming without
having observed. Both were measured on a deliberately conflicted throwaway pull
request (#29, now closed and its branch deleted) rather than read off the
workflow, because the Actions log endpoints 404 on this Gitea and a step's own
conclusion is the only channel out of a job.

CASE 1, AND THE TICKET'S MECHANISM IS WRONG IN A WAY THAT MAKES IT WORSE.
The card says a conflicted pull request loses its merge ref, so that

    git fetch -q --depth 1 origin "$GITHUB_REF" \
      || git fetch -q --depth 1 origin "$GITHUB_SHA"

falls through to the second half and quietly grades the bare branch head. The
symptom is real - PR #14 reported success while `mergeable: false` - but that
is not how. Asking one question per step on the conflicted probe (runs 558,
559):

    GITHUB_REF == refs/pull/<n>/head          P01 passed
    GITHUB_REF != refs/pull/<n>/merge         P02 failed
    GITHUB_SHA == the pull request head sha   P03 passed
    fetching GITHUB_REF succeeds              P04 passed  <- even conflicted
    ...and it lands on the bare head          P05 passed
    refs/pull/<n>/merge does not exist        P06 failed

`git ls-remote origin 'refs/pull/*'` on this server advertises only `/head`, for
open and closed pull requests alike. There are no merge refs here at all. The
first fetch has therefore always succeeded and the fallback has never fired
once; both halves name the same commit anyway. So the gate did not lose merged
content on conflicted pull requests - it has never had merged content, on any
pull request in this repository's history. Green has meant "this branch passed
on its own", and with `block_on_outdated_branch` off on release/1.0 the base has
usually moved underneath it.

Reproduced end to end on one pull request, same conflict, gate swapped:

    run 567  the ORIGINAL gate   -> success, "Successful in 3m38s"
    run 566  the gate below      -> failure in 2s, merge step red,
                                    both test steps `skipped`

The checkout now fetches the base tip and the pull request head, merges them,
and refuses if the merge does not apply - as its own NAMED step, because
/actions/runs/<id>/jobs carries a per-step conclusion and that is what lets a
reader tell "nothing was tested" from "the tests spoke". `--depth 1` is gone: a
merge needs a merge base, and a full fetch of this repository measured 6.8 MB
and 1.1 s. The fallback survives only on the workflow_dispatch path, which has
no pull request to merge and now announces which bare ref it took.

CASE 2, AND `cancel-in-progress` IS NOT THE KNOB.
Runs 531 and 533 on PR #14 were cancelled at 0s, each at the exact second the
next run on that pull request was created:

    531  created 17:08:19 `Waiting to run`, cancelled 17:10:44 = 532's creation
    533  created 17:45:11 `Waiting to run`, cancelled 18:11:22 = 534's creation

Both have `started_at` at the Unix epoch. A cancelled run posts `failure` on the
required context, described `Canceled after 0s`; branch protection compares
state, not description, so "nothing ran" and "your tests are broken" arrive as
the same red wanting opposite responses. Three settings were measured, each with
one run holding the single runner slot and two further pushes behind it:

    no concurrency block at all   runs 561 and 562 both queued, both executed
    group, cancel-in-progress:false
                                  run 564 sat `Blocked by required conditions`
                                  and was cancelled at 0s the second 565 existed

A shared group cancels a run that has not started regardless of that flag -
GitHub documents it and Gitea 1.27 implements it. Having no group is the only
configuration measured to leave a queued run alive, so the block is gone and the
measurement is written above it. The cost is stated in the file: a developer who
pushes four times occupies the shared runner four times. That is CI-01's own
trade written the other way round - a delayed verdict, never a destroyed one -
and a destroyed verdict is worse here because it is indistinguishable from a
real failure. A sha-keyed group was considered and rejected: the only
cancellations it still permits are same-sha ones, whose red lands on a commit
that IS still the head.

WHAT IS NOT ESTABLISHED, SAID PLAINLY. Nothing here makes a cancelled run
distinguishable at the gate BY STATE; that is Gitea posting the status, not this
workflow, and no edit to this file can change it. What ships removes the cause
instead of relabelling the symptom. And a commit that never had a run carries an
empty `/statuses/<sha>` list, while a queued one carries `pending / Waiting to
run` within seconds and a concurrency-held one `pending / Blocked by required
conditions` - those were already distinguishable at the API. `/actions/tasks`,
which is what was polled when this was first reported, lists only tasks that
started and cannot answer the question at all.

test_ci_gate.py grades the gate by RUNNING it. It extracts the checkout and
merge steps out of checks.yml and executes the shipped commands against two
throwaway local repositories it builds - one whose pull request merges, one
whose does not - and pins that the old one-liner exits 0 on the unmergeable one
while the new steps refuse and say nothing was tested. Part 1 pins the two
tokens that assemble `checks / unit (pull_request)`: renaming `name:` or the
`unit:` job key would leave every open and future pull request waiting forever
on a context that never arrives, with no error anywhere in that sequence, and
admin override blocked. Seven mutations of checks.yml were each confirmed red,
including both renames and a restored `--depth 1`. .gitea/ci/Dockerfile gains
`git` for it; the fixtures are local paths and no network is touched.

17/17 green in the checks image.

adminandClaude Opus 5 83911ed637 SAFETY-20: measure the freeze rail against the reachable ceiling, not max_w
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 3m37s
SAFETY-18's conjunction needs `abs(commanded_w) >= 0.95 * max_w`, but the
emitted command is clipped to the setpoint device's own [dev_min, dev_max]
range as well as to max_w - in clamp_to_rating()'s second stage and again as
the arbiter's `device` P_SAFETY limit claim. Measured on the shipped predicate
at the ticket's numbers, max_w 5000 on a +-4700 W inverter:

    looks_frozen(unchanged_s=3600, commanded_w=4700, max_w=5000)  ->  False

The command is pinned at the hardware's rail, the meter has been frozen for an
hour, and term 2 is unsatisfiable by construction because 4700 < 4750. Any
device rating at or below 0.95 * max_w disarms the conjunction outright, and
the status page then printed `armed (... command is over 4750 W)` - a guard
that cannot fire, advertising that it can, which is the failure SAFETY-15,
SAFETY-19 and validate.py rule 5 all exist to prevent.

The rail is now measured against min(max_w, |dev_min|, |dev_max|), through a
new `rail_ceiling_w()` threaded into looks_frozen(), FreezeWatchdog.evaluate()
and both call sites in main.py. An unread rating leaves the old behaviour
exactly, and correctly: hass.limits() returns None whenever ESPHome is not up,
and on that path no device clamp is applied either, so max_w really is the
ceiling. A rating larger than max_w cannot raise the rail - this is a min(),
not a swap.

THE DELIBERATE CHOICE, since SAFETY-03 has landed. The arithmetic was kept
rather than substituting Decision.i_clamped / Decision.clamped. i_clamped is
the integrator bound (control.py:208, `bounded != i_w`), not "the command is
at the device rating", and `clamped` is the max_w output bound, unreachable on
a default install - neither is the device rail. More decisively, both answer
"did the LOOP ask for more than a bound", while the rail term asks "is the
command standing at the ceiling", and those coincide only when the loop is the
claimer that won. A maintenance SET or a peak-guard floor reaches the ceiling
through arbiter LIMIT claims with no clamp engaging at all, so a boolean rail
would go False exactly during a maintenance phase running against a frozen
meter - which freeze.py's own docstring names as the same fault with a worse
actuator behind it. The predicate is also public with two call sites that pass
DIFFERENT command values (self.target, and `standing` = last_write); a
per-cycle boolean cannot be passed per call site, so substituting it would
have silently decided the pre-clamp-versus-wire question that PM recorded as
still open. AC 1 governs, and it is satisfied literally.

The smaller of the two device bounds, not a per-sign pair. A per-sign rail is
tighter and is not wrong, but it is two rails needing two coverage verdicts on
a status row that carries one number, and the only configuration that
distinguishes them is refused at startup anyway. The symmetric ceiling can only
lower the rail, which widens term 2 rather than disarming it; term 1 carries
the whole no-false-positive argument and is untouched.

A ceiling of 0 W is NOT COVERED, not "armed at 0 W". A device that can command
nothing in one direction would make `abs(command) >= 0` true of every command
including a parked one - term 2 degenerately TRUE, collapsing the conjunction
into the bare unchanged_s > N threshold TEL-05 refused for false-tripping at
this controller's own operating point. rail_unreachable() returns the reason,
looks_frozen() stays silent, and the page uses the NOT COVERED row the
unsupported-transport case already has - a second reason to use that surface,
not a new mechanism.

AC 4, decided rather than assumed: NO NEW validate.py RULE. The configuration
is max_w above the device rating, which rule 2 (CFG-01) already refuses on the
identical predicate, re-run by run_control() once the real rating is known:

    validate_startup_config({... max_w: 5000}, -4700, 4700)
      -> ['max_w is 5000 W but number.sp accepts at most 4700 W - THE DEVICE
          WINS ...']

A rail-specific rule would fire on a strict subset of that (0.95 * max_w >
dev_max implies max_w > dev_max) and could never be the rule that stopped a
start. The residue is the state where hass.limits() answered (None, None) -
ESPHome not up at boot, range checks skipped rather than guessed at, rating
never re-read - and there is nothing to refuse there by construction, which is
why the answer is a runtime row. Recorded in validate.py's "deliberately not
refused" list and pinned by four checks in test_validate.py, so the decision's
premise goes red if rule 2 is ever softened back to a warning.

HOW REACHABLE THIS IS, stated rather than glossed. Because rule 2 refuses the
configuration whenever the rating is known, min(max_w, dev_max) IS max_w on
every install that reaches the control loop with a rating it could read, and
this change is arithmetically dead there. That is clamp.py's argument for its
own second stage word for word: the case where it bites is the case where the
startup gate did not run or no longer holds, and a guard that quietly assumes
the gate ran is a guard that reports armed in exactly the state it cannot fire
in.

Verified by breaking it, per this project's rule. Reverting rail_w() to bare
max_w fails nine checks; deleting the NOT COVERED handling fails five. The one
that mattered: shipping the corrected predicate while NOT passing the rating
from check_meter_frozen() left the entire suite green, because nothing graded
the caller - so test_freeze.py part 5b now drives the real cycle() on a +-4700 W
device and asserts on the notification that leaves the process, and the
unwiring mutation fails three checks there. The peak-guard call site's wiring
is still ungraded (behind p1_enabled, needs a fed averager for `frozen` to have
any observable consequence) and that gap is named in the file rather than
implied.

Full suite: 15/15 in goodwe-addon-ci.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 7b4877d56d TEST-15: purge the bytecode cache before a mutation run, not after
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 3m35s
FCST-03's developer reverted `self.provisional` to `here.provisional`, re-ran,
and reported the mutation as a survivor. It was not one. CPython validates a
cached `.pyc` on (source size, source mtime truncated to whole seconds), and
that edit moved neither number - same length, same second - so the interpreter
loaded the bytecode it already had. Disassembly settled it at the time: the
source read `here`, the running code loaded `self`. A mutation run had graded
code that was not there, with no error and exit status 0.

This does not make the results already on the record wrong. It makes them
UNVERIFIED, and that distinction is the whole card - so nothing here re-runs a
campaign and nothing here quietly assumes the old numbers hold.

REPRODUCED, THEN CLOSED. test_bytecode.py builds a real package whose two
return values are the same length, imports it in a real subprocess, rewrites it
inside the same second (retrying until both writes land in one whole second -
milliseconds, no sleep) and reads back which value ran. Part 1 shows the
interpreter running SELF off a file that says HERE.

AND THE TWO OBVIOUS MITIGATIONS DO NOT WORK. Measured, not read off
documentation: `python3 -B` and PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1 are write-side only.
Neither stops an EXISTING stale .pyc being read, and a mutation run always has
one, because the previous run wrote it. Part 2 grades both still running the old
code. The advice in test_control.py's coverage audit led with `-B`; it is
corrected here - the purge is the half that works, and `-B` earns its place by
keeping THIS run from leaving a cache for the NEXT edit to inherit.

NO SLEEP ANYWHERE. One-second mtime resolution is the mechanism, not the enemy.
Waiting it out would slow every run down and would still only cover the edit
somebody remembered to slow down.

THE HARNESS. tools/mutation_run.sh purges, prints a sha256/byte fingerprint of
every app/*.py it is about to grade - so a mutation report can say WHICH source
produced it, which is the reviewer's addition to this card - runs each suite
under `python3 -B`, refuses a tree with no test_*.py (CI-01's rule, for CI-01's
reason), and fails if a cache appears during the run. It takes the tree as an
argument so the infra repo's replay harnesses can call it without being moved.

WHERE IT IS SAID (AC 2). MUTATION.md carries the mechanism, the measurement,
the reporting rules and the survey, and every one of the 16 suites now points at
it from its docstring. That list is DERIVED FROM THE TREE by test_bytecode.py
part 5, so a new suite that joins this directory without the pointer is red -
the same failure shape CI-01's file glob exists to prevent.

CI WAS ALREADY IMMUNE, AND IS DESCRIBED THAT WAY (AC 4). Verified rather than
reasoned: with the checkout bind mounted `-v "$WS:/w:ro"` the interpreter writes
no __pycache__ into the tree at all, and it fails SILENTLY - no error, exit
status 0 - while the same probe on a writable mount produces one. Each job also
rm -rf's its workspace and clones afresh, so nothing crosses between jobs on the
shared runner. PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1 is added as belt and braces only: the
`:ro` is one character wide and the next person debugging a write will be
tempted by it. Part 6 grades both ON THE DOCKER COMMAND LINE rather than on the
file - the first draft searched the whole workflow and stayed green after the
flag was deleted, because the comment explaining it still named it.

THE SHIPPED ADD-ON IS NOT AFFECTED and the question is closed:
goodwe_controller/Dockerfile has set PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1 since it was
written. There is no deploy-side finding.

THE SURVEY (AC 3), in MUTATION.md, scoped BY THE PROPERTY. The defect is
one-directional - a mutation that never took leaves the suite green, so stale
bytecode manufactures SURVIVORS and cannot manufacture a red - which puts every
"all red, no survivors" claim in the window out of scope, along with mutations
executed in-process (SAFETY-07's B1/B2/B3, test_peakguard parts 7 and 10, where
no source file is edited) and everything run after the purge discipline landed
on 2026-08-31 (SAFETY-24, SAFETY-26, OPT-04, FCST-03's re-run). What is left is
the recorded SURVIVORS from source-edit runs before that date. Two were re-run
here under the harness and both still stand: TARIFF-01's record_block() ignoring
its policy argument, and SAFETY-03's abs() on the clamp limit - 15 suites green
each, on the tree as it stood. The rest are labelled still-unverified rather
than assumed or re-run; each is one harness run to close, and the moment to
spend it is when somebody next touches that module.

OUT OF SCOPE AND RECORDED: the infra repo's sim/ replay harnesses import the
add-on and write bytecode into both trees (goodwe/sim/__pycache__ exists today),
so SAFETY-02's headline replay carries the same exposure. mutation_run.sh takes
a tree argument for exactly that, but the change belongs in that repo and some
of those harnesses want the rig.

RED AND GREEN. Every new check was broken and watched fail: the purge commented
out of the harness turns part 4 red (and its non-vacuity probe already proves
the fixture would mis-grade without it); one docstring pointer removed turns
part 5 red naming the file; `:ro` and the `-e` flag removed from the workflow
turn part 6 red. Full suite green, 16 files, in the CI image on a read-only
mount - the shape the runner uses.

release/1.0 went red at 00:00 on 2026-09-01 on a commit nobody had

`self.peak.peak()` - no argument - so tariff.py resolved the month from

the fixed fixture 2026-08-30. From 1 September the page was correctly
asked for September, correctly answered NO_RECORD, and the row read "no
completed quarter recorded yet" - a string containing no "peak", which
the section's own filter required. Four checks failed.

at f4914a1, 04292c4~1 and 04292c4, so this is the calendar and not a
regression. It has been latent since TARIFF-01 merged on 2026-08-30, and
every PR that ever ran this suite ran it in August.

THE PRODUCT IS RIGHT AND THE TEST WAS WRONG, so the live page is
unchanged. Section 5 of this same file calls NO_RECORD "a normal state
on the 1st of the month" and a capacity tariff is billed monthly, so a
page showing the current month is correct. `checks()` now takes
`when: datetime | None = None` and threads it into peak() and
warning_frac() - the convention PeakStore.peak(), PeakTracker.peak(),
headroom_w() and warning_frac() all already follow. The one production
caller passes nothing and still means today.

AND THE DEFECT IS NOW DETECTABLE RATHER THAN SEASONAL. Three checks:
the same controller read at two different reference months must produce
two different rows, which no clock can satisfy; the later month must
read NO_RECORD and stay distinguishable from both an observed peak and
an unreadable store; and checks() with no argument must still mean
today. Verified by mutation - a checks() that drops `when` is red at
every clock tried, where the old section went green in August. The first
draft of these checks was itself wrong in the same way and reproduced
the bug: it selected rows on "peak", which the NO_RECORD row does not
contain, so it dropped the row and then graded its absence. They select
on "quarter(s) banked" instead.

Full suite green, 15 files, at the real clock and at faked clocks in
2026-08, 2026-12, 2027-02 and 2027-03.

Left alone deliberately: only the UNREADABLE branch prefixes its row
with "capacity-tariff peak:". The NO_RECORD row carries neither that
phrase nor the word "peak". That asymmetry is what made the original
filter brittle and what broke the first draft above; it is product text
with other suites reading it, so it is reported rather than changed.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 04292c4a08 DATA-01: thirty days of the real meter, and what AC 3 actually measures
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 3m36s
TARIFF-01 and SAFETY-07 both merged with AC 3 - "monthly peak held under
the soft limit in >= 95 % of intervals over a 30-day simulation replay" -
honestly unmet, because two days of capture existed and it was believed
nothing longer could be produced. That belief was a true statement about
the past read as a claim about the future: HA's recorder still held the
whole month, and the reason nobody found out is that the 2026-08-25
export was a one-off script that left no artefact.

So the exporter is committed and runnable now.
scenarios/p1-net-30d-2026-08/ is 2026-08-01 to 2026-08-30, 485,841
samples, 30/30 days read, 0 failed, 4.13 MB gzipped, in the schema the
two committed days already fixed.

VERIFIED AGAINST THE DAYS THAT EXIST. `--verify` re-fetches 2026-08-20
and 2026-08-23 by this exact route and reproduces both committed files
BYTE FOR BYTE after decompression (865,024 B / 15,600 samples and
894,387 B / 16,351 samples). The gzip containers differ by design: this
exporter writes mtime 0 so its output is reproducible, where the one-off
wrote a wall clock.

A FAILED READ IS NOT AN OBSERVATION. A day whose read fails writes no
file, is recorded "read": "FAILED", and the run exits non-zero; the
entity is proved to exist through /api/states before any empty day is
believed, because a typo would otherwise answer 200 [] thirty times and
produce a consistent dataset of nothing. Nothing is interpolated, so the
month's 13 gaps (1291 s, 99.95 % covered) and its 3 `unavailable`
samples stay visible as holes.

SIZE: COMMITTED, DELIBERATELY, AND MEASURED. A git bundle of the whole
history goes from 1.58 MB (release/1.0 @ 86c43eb) to 5.28 MB - +3.70 MB,
x3.3 - and a Home Assistant supervisor clones that on every install.
Downsampling was not on the table: meter_max_age_s is 30 s, so any
coarser resample turns real coverage into modelled meter-gap and moves
the number being measured. "Outside the repo with a pointer" is what
already happened and is why this card exists. The files sit in a
SUBDIRECTORY so the non-recursive globs in test_tariff.py part 9 and
test_peakguard.py part 6 do not pick them up - CI keeps replaying the two
small days instead of growing ~50 s per PR.

AC 3, MEASURED OVER 30 DAYS (tools/replay_ac3.py, which must reproduce
test_peakguard part 6's 189/190 to be believed):

  uncontrolled  2847/2879 = 98.89 % of quarters at or under 3500 W
  guarded       2850/2879 = 98.99 %
  month peak    5029.8 W -> 4107.3 W

Met on the ">= 95 % of intervals" reading - and the uncontrolled figure
is the finding, because a month with no controller at all passes it. Not
met on the other reading of the same sentence: 4107.3 W is still over the
soft limit. The guard pulls 31 of the 32 over-cap quarters down but lands
only 3 under the cap, because CEILING_MONTH_PEAK defends the running
month peak rather than the cap once one is set. Both suites' honesty
notes are corrected to point at the month instead of at its absence.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 d57122ec74 DATA-02: a real Belgian price year, so AC4 stops being unmeetable
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 3m36s
OPT-04 reported AC4 - "net-positive across 12 months of replayed prices" -
as NOT MET and replayed a synthetic year, because scenarios/ held only P1
meter captures. Right call, wrong diagnosis: the criterion was being carried
beside a 30-day METER criterion as though both needed waiting. EPEX BE
day-ahead is public data, not a capture. It needed a fetch.

8760 hourly points, 2025-09-01 to 2026-09-01 Brussels-local, canonical three
fields. Licence checked BEFORE committing: Energy-Charts publishes the BE
zone under CC BY 4.0 from Bundesnetzagentur | SMARD.de and other zones under
private-use-only terms, so this one is redistributable with attribution. The
fetcher refuses to write a file whose per-response license_info stops saying
so. Cross-checked against SMARD's own 4996/DE: 96 of 96 quarter-hours, max
difference 0.00 EUR/MWh.

Raw wholesale, and the file says so. all_in: false, with the markup/tax
assumption carried as numbers to APPLY rather than numbers applied -
TARIFF-02's trap in data form. Section 7B applies it in one visible place and
asserts arithmetically that its additive terms cancel out of every daily
spread, so the trade count turns on the VAT multiplier alone; the raw replay
is run too, so how much rests on the guess is reported (110 vs 88).

DST by construction: iterate in UTC, render through price.brussels().
2025-10-26 is 25 points, 2026-03-29 is 23, verified by counting per Brussels
day rather than asserting 24, and by checking October's 02:00 appears twice
at two offsets with two prices while March's never appears. Both bugs the
point-and-gap accounting caught were real: a UTC-bounded window made the
first day 22 hours, and an inclusive-end off-by-one dropped the last day
silently. A day nobody asked for is not a day with no prices.

THE RESULT, AT THE SHIPPED DEFAULT, WHATEVER IT IS. At 0.10 widened 1.5x to
0.1500: 110 round trips, +24.88 EUR net of the cycle cost. Unwidened, 173.
Nothing tuned - the threshold and the 2.5/1.5 factors are untouched.

And what the owner's decision now has under it: the four reports that a
static ~0.0840 spread does not clear 0.10 all STAND. What was missing is that
a dynamic site clears the widened requirement on 121 of 365 days, median
all-in spread 0.1130, so a median day would clear at 0.0754 - 156 trips,
+35.42 EUR. Reported, not applied.

The synthetic year stays, because the real one cannot grade section 17: not
one of 365 days has a negative DEAREST hour, so a zero there counts something
that could not happen. 7B asserts that degeneracy rather than reporting the
zero.

Size measured, not assumed: 893 KB plain but 74.6 KB as a git object against
56.5 KB gzipped. Git already compresses; 18 KB is not worth making the
provenance block - the licence claim a reviewer must check - unreadable in a
diff.

Nothing wired into the add-on; generic_dayahead is still the live path.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 9234016419 Merge release/1.0 (OPT-04) into SAFETY-24, and fix one grader the merge broke
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 3m36s
OPT-04 landed after the previous rebase. Conflicts were CHANGELOG.md and one
IMPORT LINE in validate.py; both refusal blocks and both option sets survive
untouched, and DOCS.md, main.py and config.yaml auto-merged.

⚠️ AND THE MERGE BROKE A CHECK THAT NEITHER CARD COULD HAVE SEEN ALONE.
test_peakguard.py graded "the first `.decide(` call in main.py" and asserted
there was exactly one. That was true when SAFETY-24 was written; OPT-04 added
`arbitrage.decide(...)`, so the merged tree had two and the assertion failed.
It failed loudly rather than grading the wrong call - the guard did its job -
but it cannot ship red.

Fixed by selecting the call by QUALIFIED NAME (`peakguard.decide`) instead of
by position, and requiring exactly one of THAT. Other modules may now call
their own decide(); this grader can no longer be moved by one of them. Verified
still discriminating: a decoy `peakguard.decide` added to main.py turns it red
on 7 assertions, and the `maintenance_soc_floor` swap still turns it red on 6.

Also folded in the review's wording finding. An assertion read "a CONTROLLER
whose SoC entity does not answer hands decide() None" while driving no
Controller. The wiring property is stronger than the one claimed, and is now
asserted on the SERVICE CALL: a Controller with no SoC never reaches the guard
at all, because `inputs_ok` is False and cycle() stops at the safety claim
first - so a `float(soc or 100)` defaulting line above the call site cannot
disarm the floor. The original decide()-level check is kept, reworded to say
what it actually grades.

Full suite green on the merged tree: 15 files.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 bdd7f18a54 OPT-04: charge cheap, discharge expensive - and only when it pays
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 3m16s
Four cards built the price stack and nothing traded on it. app/arbitrage.py is
§10.1's priority 3, and it consumes all four rather than re-deciding anything:
whether a trade is permitted at all, on which two hours, against which widened
threshold is TariffPlan.arbitrage()'s answer, and that answer cannot be
obtained without first saying whether the peak guard is holding. §9.1's "peak
shaving outranks arbitrage" is therefore honoured structurally - there is no
path to a spread that skips the question - and again in the arbiter, where
P_PEAK (50) clamps a claim filed at P_ARBITRAGE (30).

A guard that never ran is not a guard that is clear. On meter_source off the
peak guard is never evaluated; that third state is carried as None and refuses,
because charging at the rail creates the billed quantity while nothing measures
the quarter. validate.py refuses that configuration too, along with arbitrage
armed with no price source and a SoC floor at or above the ceiling.

§17: never export into a negative price. The guard is on the hour being sold
into, not on the spread - a day priced -0.30 .. -0.05 clears any threshold and
its dearest hour is still negative. Buying in a negative hour stays allowed.

resolve_tariff() may open an HTTPS connection and the tick feeds the ESP32
heartbeat, so the fetch runs in its own task at a 30 min cadence and the tick
reads an attribute and an age bound. test_arbitrage.py section 8 asserts that
structurally on the shipped AST: a fetch put back on cycle() is red.

AC4 is NOT met and is not restated - this repository holds no price history.
Section 7 replays a synthetic year and asserts the property that does not need
real prices: every executed round trip cleared its own widened requirement, and
zero discharges landed in the 522 negative-priced hours. At the shipped 0.10
EUR/kWh threshold a realistic Belgian day/night site does not trade at all.
Reported, not tuned: that number and FCST-03's widening factors are one product
decision and it is the owner's.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 e709554857 SAFETY-24: an energy floor under the peak guard's forced discharge
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 3m29s
SAFETY-07 can command a discharge to hold a billed quarter down, and
nothing below it consulted the state of charge. On the 2026-08-20 replay
it asks for 878 Wh in a day. Relying on the BMS is not absurd - it is a
real floor and it works - but it is the pack's protection rather than the
operator's, and a month of aggressive quarters leaves the battery
repeatedly at that cut-out with no EMS-side record of why. The first
symptom is a pack never available when wanted, which is indistinguishable
from the SoC drift MAINT-01 exists to correct.

decide() now takes soc and soc_floor, both required and neither
defaulted, and discharge_permitted() is the one place the question is
answered. Above the floor nothing changes. At or below it the guard files
a 0 W floor instead of a sized one - one-directional, so charging stays
blocked and no discharge is capped - and reports floor_limited with the
reason it bound. It is not a trip: every stop in 11.2's table still
outranks the claim, and the floor is never negative, so 9.1's asymmetry
survives as a property of the object (0 negative floors over 1296 swept
combinations, SoC included).

The SoC is graded only after `wanted > 0` is established, so it is never
evaluated where it governs nothing. An unreadable SoC is floor-limited,
not a full battery - a full battery is exactly the value that would
disarm the floor, and this project shipped that defaulting once already.

Failing to shave is not silent: one notification per episode
(goodwe_peak_soc_floor), distinct from the saturation alarm because the
two ask for opposite operator actions, plus its own status row and an
action-log line.

Verified by replay. The 2026-08-20 capture is driven against a modelled
pack sized from the day's own measured appetite, so it genuinely
exhausts: without the floor it reaches the BMS cut-out and holds there
for 1227 guard cycles; with it the pack stops at 20.0 % and never touches
the BMS. The energy withheld equals the energy between the two floors to
within one cycle at the rail. The honest half is reported too - the worst
quarter goes 4338 W -> 5030 W, because a floor-limited guard shaves less
on purpose.

Two new options, mirrored once in peakguard.PEAK_OPTION_DEFAULTS
(TARIFF-02's pattern), imported by validate.py and main.py rather than
typed as literals and pinned to config.yaml by a check that reads the
file - so CFG-03 still tracks three places. validate.py rule 8 refuses
peak_soc_floor <= bms_soc_floor at startup, in CFG-01/MAINT-04's manner.
maintenance_soc_floor is deliberately not reused and not renamed: it is a
drain target, not a spend limit, and the rename is recorded as a decision
to revisit if a third floor appears.

Eleven mutations of the shipped source were run against the checks; all
eleven go red and there are no survivors.

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 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 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,

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 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 8cc9438aec SAFETY-12: record the six-minute observation, not just the unit check
test_loop.py proves the property in 35 s. This is the same three scenarios run
for six and three real minutes each, on one binary, and it is what AC2 and AC3
were actually asked for: 1 cycle before vs 24 after on a constant meter with the
command stuck at 220 W against a 350 W import, and byte-identical write
sequences on both the converged and the normally-changing meter.

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.
