SAFETY-48: what the lead cap actually does to a frozen integrator, and what the peak figure depends on
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 7m55s
Four review findings, none of them in executable code. The control law, the tests and the instruments' arithmetic are untouched; every number below was re-measured against the committed 16-day capture before it was written down. R1 - app/control.py carried a justification the decision record and MUTATION.md habit 22 had already retracted, and it was false about the code it sits in. It said an unconditional placement "would also pull the integrator toward a command the SATURATION freeze is pinning", priced at 118 of 256 250 ticks. The 118 was measured against a different pair; on the pair the sentence names the two forms are bit-identical - 0 of 256 246 ticks, re-measured. And the narrow form that shipped DOES move a saturation-frozen integrator: it runs before the freeze block and is not gated on `frozen`. Of 79 160 frozen ticks the cap changes `i_w` on 1095, and on 679 of those it moves it further out on the side it was already on - putting back magnitude the freeze had just let fall, which the freeze's own rule forbids. Worst case 2424 W, at prev_w -3400 W, grid +4697 W, actual -4144 W, sat_count 2 -> 3: the freeze leaves the integrator at -176 W and the cap drags it to -2600 W. It never overrides a same-cycle refusal (the freeze clipped on 75 512 ticks, the slew bound on none of them), and that is stated too. It is also where SAFETY-13's settle values went: gating the cap on `not frozen` puts test_control.py part 5 back at -1190 W exactly, while part 4(b) does not come back - that one moved for the winding reason. R3 - the record read its own sensitivity table backwards. `fit_plant()` picks lag 7.5 s on battery-power RMS, which separates it from 2.5 s by 0.3 %, while the tool's own printed fidelity measure (export against the recorded 29.43 kWh) prefers 2.5 s by the whole 35 % gap. Swept properly: at every lag <= 5.0 s release/1.0's worst quarter is ALREADY 3434 W and this card changes it by exactly zero. The 3739 -> 3434 W headline exists at one plant. New section 3a carries the table; the export reduction now leads every summary and the peak is presented as lag-dependent. The form-A rejection is strengthened rather than weakened: form A is worse on the billed quarter at every lag where release/1.0 produces a peak at all, and at every top-N cut of the quarters. R2 - DOCS.md stated modelled watts to the owner as measurement. It now leads with the export reduction, says the figures are simulated, and says plainly that no capacity-tariff improvement is promised. R4 - tools/slew_sim.py --slew narrated "the OVER-ABSORPTION does not move, and at the slowest slews it is slightly WORSE" while printing a monotonically falling column. That sentence is TRUE on release/1.0 (reproduced: 958/1107/1133/1058/987/1029/1150/1143/1081) and false under this branch's law (777/734/663/563/553/507/435/358/321), so SAFETY-39 is not retracted: its record gets a forward reference, and the script now reads SLEW_LEAD_STEPS out of the law it imported and narrates from the column it just printed. Both branches of that narration were driven. R5 - three counts in the L table were decoration and are re-driven in the CI image on a `cp -a`, purged, `:ro`, one file at a time: L5 is 5+5 with the function names exchanged and 5+4 with the branch bodies exchanged (two mutations wearing one name, now listed separately), L6 is 6+3. The separable- state count is grid-dependent and three sweeps disagree, so all three are quoted with their grids and the load-bearing claim is WHERE they separate. R7 - "a large import answered too weakly" is not what the aggregate shows. Form A cuts import by 5.45 kWh and export by 5.18 kWh, and paired per tick delivers 8.56 kWh less offtake energy on the ticks release/1.0 was importing. The harm is a tail redistribution inside quarters that already net to offtake. The conclusion stands; the sentence is narrowed to it. Verified: the full suite in the CI image, purged tree, `:ro` mount, one file at a time, exactly the command in .gitea/workflows/checks.yml - 30/30, exit 0.

SAFETY-48: the slew step ceiling reaches the integrator, and what it bounds is the LEAD
`compute()` freezes the integrator with an asymmetric rule and the comment beside it states the requirement outright - "the requirement is that the INTEGRATOR stop accumulating, not only the command" - but `frozen` is computed from ONE signal, `abs(prev_w - actual_w) > saturation_w`, and slew-limiting never enters it. The integrator moves `gain * error` a cycle and the command moves at most `slew_w`, so the integrator outruns the command whenever `|error| > slew_w / gain`: 667 W at the live shape, against a measured median grid error of 1114 W at the onset of a recorded episode. SAFETY-39's retune made it MORE frequent, not less - a smaller step is a lower threshold. ⚠️ THE FORM THE CARD ASKED FOR RAISES THE BILLED QUANTITY, WHICH IS WHY IT IS NOT WHAT SHIPPED. Reusing the asymmetric freeze on a carried slew flag was built from release/1.0's own source and measured over 16.00 days / 256 252 meter instants of the live install's recorder: export 39.61 -> 34.43 kWh, and the worst quarter-hour average OFFTAKE 3739 -> 3935 W with the mean quarter +2.73 W, in five of six plant and tuning variants. A frozen integrator stops at `prev + gain*error`, which undershoots by (1 - gain); for an export that is free and for an import it is offtake, for as long as the ramp lasts. The card said "do not invent a second rule"; the measurement says to, and both sentences are recorded. WHAT SHIPS BOUNDS THE LEAD AT ONE SLEW STEP, inside the branch where the slew actually bound. Same 16 days, same ticks, same disturbance, same plant, same seed: export 39.61 -> 34.07 kWh, wasted throughput 4.67 -> 3.19 kWh, battery sign reversals 2992 -> 2770, median recovery 232 -> 199 s, p99 849 -> 850 s, max 901 -> 898 s, unrecovered 53 -> 31, worst |i_w - prev_w| 9200 -> 800 W - and the worst 15-minute average offtake 3739 -> 3434 W, i.e. the billed quantity IMPROVES. `i_w = slewed` (a cap of zero) is better again at 32.02 kWh and is refused: it is the velocity form this module's docstring says `i_w=None` collapses to. TWO COMMITTED NUMBERS MOVED, DELIBERATELY, WITH THE REASON BESIDE THEM. SAFETY-13's released command settles at -800 W and -1200 W where release/1.0 settled at -1190 W and -2390 W, because there is less wound integrator to settle onto; AC 4's property - it stops at the frozen integrator, not the rail - is what is asserted and the second is now graded against `i_w` rather than a literal. And SAFETY-39's "the slew does not own the over-absorption" is now FALSE - INVERTED, on the independent first-order plant test_control.py writes itself: 1005/1109/1285/1330 W rising with a slower slew becomes 729/550/424/326 falling. Two plant models that share nothing agree on the sign. Evidence: `tools/replay_recorded_loop.py` plus the read-only capture it made (scenarios/loop-2026-09-02_2026-09-17). The "before" law is the shipped file with the block removed by a named substitution - never a transcription - and a missing anchor is a REFUSAL carrying "NOTHING HAS BEEN MEASURED". The instrument prints its own fidelity first: it reproduces 39.6 kWh of export where the install exported 29.4, i.e. it is ~35 % pessimistic about the loop's tracking, so only the delta is claimed. 30/30 suites green, including test_control.py's exhaustive i_w=None equivalence sweep against the transcribed release/1.0 law, untouched: the cap moves `i_w` and not `target`, and that sweep compares (target_w, sat_count, frozen, reason). Six law mutations, one instrument battery. L4 - the cap applied unconditionally, -92 B - was a SURVIVOR of all thirty files: it is bit-identical on the shipped configuration (0 of 256 246 ticks) and separable on 2050 of 257 400 swept states, all at `integrator_max_w` above `max_w`, which part 4 now drives. L5 and L6 are ZERO BYTES. AND TWO COMMENTS IN THIS CARD WERE INVENTED AND ARE CORRECTED IN PLACE. The one-sided spelling was justified by a two-sided form that would "drag a trailing integrator" - it does not, and the two agree on 205 920 of 205 920 swept states; and a "118 of 256 252 ticks" figure had been measured against a different pair. MUTATION.md gains habits 21 and 22 for both shapes. NOT DEPLOYED, NOT VERSIONED. The live install still runs release/1.0's law.

SAFETY-13: the bound came from the wrong half of a two-sided measurement
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 5m34s
NOTES.md 5.10 measured the 1.78 kW step BOTH ways - "Up: ~18 s from step to deadband. Down: ~23 s" (NOTES.md:1550). SAFETY-39 takes 18 correctly: its bound is a REFUSAL and the looser number refuses less. This branch reused PLANT_SETTLE_S for the opposite job - how long the plant may still be the EXPLANATION for a divergence - where the conservative half is the longer one. ceil(23/2) = 12, not 9, and being short there does not refuse anything, it accuses. The false positive is real and is measured here. One inverter, one compute(), one plant, no second writer anywhere in the harness: the command falls through zero while the pack is still coasting the old way, unasked_power() calls our own power "unasked", the counter reaches 9 while it is still coasting, and the law emits "freeze-released". At the plant's own measured 18 s/23 s shape, over 272 load-step pairs, the 9-cycle bound fires in 62 and the 12-cycle bound in 2. PLANT_SETTLE_DOWN_S = 23.0 is added beside PLANT_SETTLE_S = 18.0, because the plant's settling time is a PAIR and each bound has to say which half it means and why. SETTLE_CYCLES = ceil(PLANT_SETTLE_DOWN_S / LOOP_TICK_S) = 12. It is no longer the reciprocal of SLEW_RAIL_FRAC; that was a coincidence of both reading the same half, and test_control.py now asserts the inequality. _SAT_COUNT_CAP moves with it, 10 -> 13. config.yaml accepts saturation_cycles as int(1,10), so the whole accepted range is now strictly BELOW the bound and the degenerate configuration this branch used to document no longer exists - pinned against config.yaml's own schema line. Three shipped statements were falsified by that measurement and are rewritten, not renumbered - at 12 the residual is smaller, not zero: unasked_power()'s docstring said anything outside the interval "was put there by something other than this loop". It was our own power: eight cycles after a +1990 W command the command is 0 and the pack still reads +522.3 W. control.py said "SO THE BOUND BELONGS TO (b) AND ONLY TO (b)". It fired in case (a). DOCS.md told an operator "if you see freeze-released, look for the second writer" - on a single-inverter install, hunting something that does not exist. Replaced by a section that gives the innocent causes first (a large load or PV swing; a plant slower than the one measured, 8/320 scenarios at 23 s rising to 268/320 at 50 s) and the second writer only when the state STANDS. Round 1's own results are kept and re-graded, not weakened. The release/1.0 sweep had to widen to reach the new bound (3780 cases): 3267 bit-identical, 432 releases, 27 command changes - all still charge starts from prev_w == 0 - and 81 differing in the saturation counter alone, which nothing downstream can read. The card's case releases on the twelfth saturated cycle instead of the ninth and settles at the same -1190 W against the same frozen integrator. Also corrected, because they were claims and did not reproduce: the coverage table's "output freeze" row was 11, and the mutation form its own note describes gives 6 on this tree, 6 on the first SAFETY-13 commit and 2 on release/1.0; the detector row was left at 11 and is 15; the frozen = False footnote was left at 10 and is 13. And section 6 reported 107 625 as "released states" when it is the number of states SWEPT - 67 500 of them release, and both are counted now. Nothing here reached the inverter. 22/22 test files pass in goodwe-addon-ci, tree rsynced to a plain path, mounted :ro, python3 -B, __pycache__ purged and printed first (0 dirs / 0 .pyc; the worktree carries none).

SAFETY-13: the output freeze gets an exit, and only where it needs one
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 5m30s
While the loop is frozen the command's magnitude may fall but never rise. At prev_w == 0 there is no magnitude left to fall, so a charge cannot START. That refusal is deliberate and it is kept: the inverter reporting power we did not command means another writer is on the actuator, which is the §1.5 non-goal. What it did not have was an END - nothing cleared it but the other writer leaving. Reproduced on release/1.0 @ |

SAFETY-39: slew_w is a ratio to the rail, and gain is what is still wrong
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 5m16s
`slew_w: 1000` was derived on 2026-08-22 against a clamp of 1500 W, where "capping how far the loop can jump ahead of the inverter" was true because the rail itself bounded the excursion. The live install went to max_w 5000 and the constant did not move, so the loop crosses its whole output range in 10 s against a plant NOTES.md §5.10 measured at ~18 s. Measured on the owner's system 2026-09-05 11:43-11:46: a 3.4 kW export drove the setpoint 380 -> 5000 W in five 2 s ticks, the battery to -5154 W past a 5000 VA rating, and the grid from 3.4 kW of EXPORT to 2.8 kW of IMPORT. Nothing was broken; the rail moved. REPRODUCED FIRST, and one half of it is not reproducible at all. On plantsim.Plant and on an independent in-repo model: the setpoint stepping a full 1000 W per tick to the rail (48 of 51 export steps), and the meter crossing from export into import. The -5154 W figure is NOT reproducible in either model, because both clamp the plant at its rating - so the card's AC "battery no longer exceeds max_w in simulation" is unfalsifiable and was rewritten rather than met. THE DELIVERABLE IS THE RELATIONSHIP. SLEW_RAIL_FRAC = LOOP_TICK_S / PLANT_SETTLE_S = 2 s / 18 s = 1/9 slew_w = 0 now means FOLLOW THE RAIL - SLEW_RAIL_FRAC * max_w - exactly as integrator_max_w = 0 already means follow max_w. It is the shipped default: 222 W at max_w 2000, 556 W at 5000, 1067 W at a ~9600 W two-inverter site. validate.py rule 10 refuses an explicit value faster than that, graded against sum(unit_caps(opts)) - the roster sum, i.e. Controller.site_max_w - so a second inverter moves the bound with no operator action. VERIFIED BY BREAKING IT: restoring slew_w 1000 at max_w 5000 is refused, and the refusal names the rail, the crossing time, the measurement and what to do. Equality, one watt of slack, the live interim 400 and slew_w 0 at every rating all still start. GAIN IS THE CONSTANT THAT IS STILL WRONG, and it is NOT changed here. Over 51 export steps the over-absorption is FLAT in slew (958 W at 1000, 1081 W at 250) and monotone in gain (987 W at 0.6, 876 at 0.3, 435 at 0.2): slew_w bounds the OUTPUT, while the integrator moves gain*error per cycle and reaches a 5000 W rail in under three ticks whatever the slew is. Two control-law constants moving in one release on a running house makes the next measurement uninterpretable. ⚠️ N=2: the site rail becomes sum(max_w) ~ 9600 W (inverter B FROM DATASHEET AND SERIAL, not measured, and sim/plantsim.py's INVERTER_B is A copied), and the enforced ratio produces 1067 W there automatically. But a growing rail LOOSENS this bound, and the >= 900 W symptom goes stale at N=2 the same way the constant did - both stated in the record rather than left to be discovered. Nothing reached the inverter. The live install still runs the interim slew_w 400 applied by hand on 2026-09-05, which rule 10 accepts unchanged.

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.

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. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Du77usMj8XNKNFZGmUiWDa |

SAFETY-04: exactly zero is its own case in the freeze tie-break
`min(moved, i_w) if i_w > 0 else max(moved, i_w)` files i_w == 0.0 under rising-only, so the first push toward charging from exactly zero was blocked permanently - the S-1 deadlock again, mirrored in sign. main.py resets i_w to exactly 0.0 on every stop and every reseed, so it is a normal state. Zero is now handled explicitly and both directions are allowed: nothing is wound, so "may not wind further" has no referent, and a first step from zero is bounded by the gain, the output clamp and the slew limit like any other. Measured before the fix, at i_w == 0.0 and frozen: 12 800 of 25 920 ticks held the integrator and 8 304 of those changed the emitted command, worst case abandoning a 2 kW charge into a 4 kW export. Note this is NOT the same as the reported symptom: at prev_w == 0 the command holds at 0 W either way, because the output freeze forbids starting a charge while saturated, and that rule is release/1.0's and unchanged. There is now a test asserting it deliberately. Tests. The durable part is a property rather than more points: over 13 041 frozen states the integrator may be held ONLY by a correction pushing it further from zero on the side it already sits, and any other hold fails. Both signs at exactly 0.0. Mirrors added everywhere the suite tested one direction of two - freeze wind/unwind while charging, i_w=-100, the export-direction runaway, the negative clamp and slew. DOCS: the cycles-vs-seconds deviation is now written down as a deviation - the "> 10 s" criterion is not met as literally written, a cycle is one CHANGED meter reading, and there is no guaranteed wall-clock window. test_control.py: 43 -> 55 checks, all passing.

SAFETY-04: revive the clamp reason, and compare reasons in the sweep
`want = i_w` after the integrator bound, so at the default limit == max_w the output clamp can never fire and `reason == "clamped"` had become unreachable. Observability only today - nothing gates on the string - but SAFETY-03 exists to alarm on exactly that engagement, so its hook was dead before it was built. The integrator bound now reports "i-clamped", and that is the signal SAFETY-03 must watch: it is the one that fires on a default install. "clamped" stays reachable for a configuration that lets the integrator run above the rail, where both fire and the output clamp - which describes the value actually emitted - is the one reported. Two names because the two events want different alarms: the loop winding, versus a command that came out over the rating. The real fix is the second half. The equivalence sweep compared (target_w, sat_count), which is how a dead reason survived 3024 cases. It now compares (target_w, sat_count, frozen, reason) and it catches this defect: dropping the emit turns it red. Deliberate rename aliased explicitly, so any OTHER reason divergence still fails. Result of adding reason to the tuple: 105 of 3024 cases differ, and every one of them is the i-clamped/clamped rename. Zero value divergences, `frozen` included. Nothing else surfaced. test_control.py: 41 -> 43 checks, all passing. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Du77usMj8XNKNFZGmUiWDa |

SAFETY-04 review fixes: the freeze deadlocked, the bound was too loose
S-1. The frozen branch admitted a correction only if it shrank |i_w|. That is unsatisfiable for BOTH signs of error whenever |correction| > 2*|i_w|, i.e. whenever the integrator is near zero, so the loop stopped moving and the freeze could never clear - it clears when the inverter tracks, and not tracking is what saturation means. Measured: 0 W held into a 2 kW import indefinitely, where release/1.0 recovers on the next cycle. Re-encoded as the same asymmetric rule the output freeze has always used: may not wind further in the direction it is already pushing, may fall, cross zero or reverse. Same interpretation, an encoding that cannot deadlock. S-2. integrator_max_w defaulted to 1.5x max_w, which ADDED windup: in release/1.0 the accumulator was the post-clamp command and could never pass the rail. Default is now "follow max_w" (config 0 = unset). Measured on the 4000 W load-drop sim, first cycle after the drop: 1000 W at the new default, 1800 W at 3000. DOCS row inverted - the useful direction is below max_w, and the 14 768 W anecdote is a vendor controller, not evidence about this code. S-3. The claim that i_w=None preserved release/1.0 exactly was false, because the S-1 gate ran regardless of seeding. It is true again, and now asserted rather than asserted-about: 3024-case exhaustive comparison against a transcription of the old law, over both freeze states, both signs and either side of the deadband. Added the carried-i_w convergence/overshoot sim that the shipped configuration was missing. S-4. Cycles are distinct meter values, not seconds: cycle() runs only when the meter reading changes, so the window has no wall-clock bound. Comment and DOCS corrected; the stall is detection latency, not a windup hazard, because the same condition stalls the whole loop. test_control.py: 33 -> 41 checks, all passing.

SAFETY-04: clamp the integrator, not only the output
The loop was in velocity form: the accumulator WAS the commanded power, so "clamp the integrator" and "clamp the output" were the same line of code and could not be set apart. This makes the accumulator an explicit carried value (`i_w`), bounds it with its own `integrator_max_w`, and keeps the output clamp where it was. Killing either mechanism now still leaves the other holding - which is the point of the ticket, and what the new regression test asserts. Freeze semantics: while saturated the integrator may unwind but not wind further. A strict freeze would strand the command at whatever it reached, because the condition that releases it is the inverter tracking again, and not tracking is exactly what saturation means. The integrator is re-seeded from the arbiter's actual output whenever the loop did not get what it asked for, so entering any failsafe (all of which resolve to 0 W) zeroes it, and the first cycle after release does not dump the stale period as power. test_control.py: 24 -> 33 checks, all passing.

Rest the meter just below zero, not at zero
The deadband is a one-way ratchet: any resting point inside it holds indefinitely. Import and export are separate registers on the meter, so a loop resting at +14 W bills 0.34 kWh/day while behaving perfectly. target_grid_w (default -10 W) moves that residue onto the export register. Worst billed rest point drops from 15 W to under 5 W. Behaviour is unchanged at target_grid_w: 0. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

Precedence arbiter: one rule instead of an if/else ladder
Two controllers writing one actuator is the failure this system exists to
avoid. "Exactly one writer" was true, but only as a convention held up by
careful reading - which does not survive an EV charger and a heat pump wanting
the same battery.
Strategies now return claims and arbiter.py resolves them:
highest-priority `set` wins (none at all means 0 W), then every `limit` whose
priority is >= that set's applies, most restrictive first; contradictory
limits command 0 W and are flagged as the bug they are.
The second clause is the whole point. "Money outranks maintenance" used to be a
hand-written exception inside a Jinja template; it is now a consequence of the
priorities - the charge-only limit binds the loop but cannot bind a
higher-priority peak claim.
Also: maintenance shaping moved out of control.py, which is a controller again
and not a policy engine; the loop now tracks the arbiter's actual output rather
than its own last wish, so it does not jump when it regains control; and every
decision explains itself ("loop -> 0 W, limited by maintenance(charge-only)")
in the UI and the log.
19 new assertions in test_arbiter.py, each one a precedence question someone
will eventually ask in the field. Deployed to the reference site as 0.2.0 and
holding grid within a few watts of zero.

Packaged as a Home Assistant add-on, with a field guide
Turns the reference RS485 controller into something a technician can install at a client site: a typed config form instead of YAML, an ingress UI that names misconfiguration in words, and persistent state that cannot be broken by a timezone. Why an add-on rather than YAML packages or blueprints: - Blueprints cannot create helpers, and the maintenance cycle is a state machine whose phase and completion date must survive restarts. - YAML packages need filesystem access, a configuration.yaml edit and a restart - none of which belong in a client install. - Add-ons authenticate with SUPERVISOR_TOKEN, so there is no long-lived token to generate, store or leak on someone else's machine. - Requires HA OS/Supervised. Container and Core installs cannot run add-ons at all, which is a market decision, not an oversight. The control law and the maintenance machine are pure functions with no Home Assistant imports, and both ship with runnable checks (22 and 22 assertions). Every assertion corresponds to a rule whose absence caused an observed failure on hardware - the saturation duration term, the clamp-before-slew ordering, the deadband, the sign convention. One behaviour deliberately differs from the implementation it replaces: when its inputs go missing this commands 0 W rather than replaying the last setpoint. The reference version kept replaying, which the hardware watchdog cannot catch - from the ESP32's side, Home Assistant is still talking to it. Includes the ESPHome firmware (now parameterised: node name, inverter rating, watchdog timeout) and the optional RS485 e-stop. FIELD-GUIDE.md carries the commissioning gates, all judged on the wire rather than on how Home Assistant looks, plus the written statement a site without an e-stop needs signed.
