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.

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 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).

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

WHAT CHANGED

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

RED AND GREEN

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

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 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.
