A draining battery that may still give is raised from its drain rate
towards its rating for the peak floor while another battery is held
(peak > drain); before, the floor's rest landed on the held battery. In a
HOLD, a held battery's own pin counts among the others: a held drain no
longer over-places the site, and a held charge probe no longer parks it.
Tests: test_safety87.py part 10 (drain beside a held battery, N=3 HOLD,
unknown cut-out and unread level at N=3, a stopping row outranks the
running peak alarm). DECISIONS entry updated, incl. the modes-on exception.

At N>=2 a battery at or under its own peak reserve is held: it gives
nothing for the peak (weight 0 while the site gives) and the guard's need
is placed on the live, non-refusing batteries above theirs. The guard is
floor-limited, and alarms, only when those cannot hold the limit at full
power for ALARM_HOLD_S. The peak alarms no longer read "Not ready" or hold
the Home page at 0 W, because control keeps running. N=1 is byte-identical.

At N>=2 the holding pack's pin follows the guard's floor while the loop
still asks for +5000 W, so the ALLOCATOR "could not be placed" row was
re-logged on every 1 W change and filled the 40-row action log. While the
pin is raised, cycle() now files a site `hold` ceiling at the floor
(P_MAINTENANCE), as SAFETY-84 does for a charge. Filed only when the
holding pack gives; hi == the floor, so it never clashes with it.
Tests: a noisy N=2 house logs no ALLOCATOR row and at most one clamp
row (20 and 20 without the ceiling); the ceiling is the floor itself;
a CHARGE is not refiled at N=1. The DECISIONS entry records the owner's
2026-10-01 decision: the HOLD ends on its clock, no top-up.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
During a HOLD the holding battery gives what keeps the quarter at the peak
aim. N=1: the peak floor is refiled at P_MAINTENANCE, as for a drain
(SAFETY-83). N>=2: the hold's pin is raised to the floor minus what the
other live batteries may place, so they give first. A site stop still
decides alone. The hold ends on its clock even if the level dipped.
Below the aim nothing changes (rows identical).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
At N>=2 a cheap-window maintenance charge files a site `hi` (`charge`,
P_MAINT_SHAPE) equal to what the charging pack's own `hi` places, so the
other pack never has to give against it. The charge is sized to the
quarter's headroom under the peak aim so it yields to the peak guard, and
to 0 W under a site safety stop. N=1 byte-identical (safety84_identity).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
At N=1 the drain is the site SET at P_MAINTENANCE (60), so the peak floor
(P_PEAK, 50) was not applied and the house imported what the drain left.
Where the floor asks for more than the drain rate, main.py now refiles the
peak claim at P_MAINTENANCE, so it wins; safety SETs still park everything.
Nothing else changes: safety78_identity --diff against 35cdffe changes only
cycles where the guard wanted more than the drain; N=2 is byte-identical.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Conflicts: modetrade.decide() takes both the day plan (targets) and
SAFETY-78's draining flag; the Why line keeps SAFETY-78's other_cycle
ahead of the plan's word (test added).

- The alarm must hold for peakguard.ALARM_HOLD_S (10 s) on the projection's
clock. A load that tops cap + battery for ~5 s every 30 s alarmed at every
quarter start while the quarter landed under the aim (sine4500_fast).
- A cycle with no battery reading leaves the hold alone.
- Notified once per quarter, but the ERROR line is written per episode.
- New sim scenarios (sine4500_fast, twice7000, step6500_gap) with 5a4cdc2
digests; control still byte-identical. Unit checks for export and the
hold across a missing reading. test_peakguard's saturated fixture moves
the hold start back instead of waiting it out.
- DECISIONS and DOCS updated: costs of the hold, tolerance reasoning, the
double count in control left to a follow-up.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The alarm now also needs peakguard.load_too_high(): with the battery at
full power, the quarter still ends more than 10 W over the real limit.
The battery reading is the lower of this cycle's and the last, so a meter
sample from before the battery's last increase is not counted twice.
At most one alarm per quarter. Control outputs unchanged.

At two inverters the drain pins its pack and the site target is split
around the pin. Below the pin the other pack had to charge, the allocator
refused the opposite directions, and the site sat at 0 W with an ARBITER
line every cycle (house below or above the drain rate, or a grid charge).
main.py now files a site limit `drain` (lo = what the pin places, at
P_MAINTENANCE) at N>=2 while a pack drains, so the other pack only adds
power in the same direction. A drain that cannot give power waits with
one log line. With battery modes on, no grid charge while a pack drains,
and the other battery's card says why. N=1 is byte-identical.

A Home Assistant solar forecast (Forecast.Solar, Solcast or Open-Meteo
shapes) and the add-on's own hourly house use decide, before each cheap
run, whether the sun will fill each battery before the expensive hours.
Leftover solar then buys from the grid only the shortfall; Cheap hours only
skips the part the sun covers; Solar first never grid-charges. No, stale or
failed forecast: P3 option A exactly (12 digests pinned from 5a4cdc2).
Replay (16 recorded days, forecast errors from Elia's day-ahead BE solar):
year-earlier prices P4 19.15 vs P2 19.33 / option A 19.44 / old trade 18.14;

Owner decision 2026-09-29. Selling is off until it can be judged on the price
the grid pays: packmode.SELLING_ENABLED = False makes read() answer
sell=False whatever the store holds, pack_sell is refused ("Selling is off
for now."), and the page has no selling switch; the sell code stays. Until
the P4 forecast, only Cheap hours only charges from the grid
(packmode.GRID_CHARGE_MODES); Leftover solar holds and gives in the
expensive runs. Help, Today and plan lines, DOCS and DECISIONS follow.

Cheap and expensive hours as runs of consecutive firm price slots
(priceruns.py); each battery's role per tick from its mode (modetrade.py):
grid charging for Leftover solar / Cheap hours only, never Solar first;
holding for the expensive runs; selling per battery (pack_sell) above the
spread and the floor. The site trade is sized inside the modes (loop bound)
and the peak guard's headroom; a run edge reseeds the loop. Cheap hours only
and selling are enabled on the Batteries screen and in the HA select
(appended). The site Why row no longer says "held back" when the peak limit
pushes power up (F2). Modes off: byte-identical to 7a00f12 on the trade path.

- A refusal past the log-once set or the 32 cap is counted in the log at
1, 10, 100 and so on, so a repeated attack stays visible.
- The logged topic is printable only (no forged log lines).
- mode_announcement(): the start-up store logic, now tested with a real
Store. A removed config topic stays stored, so a start with no broker
cannot forget it (rename case tested).
- A test ties each HA mode option to the page's English name.
- packmode.enabled() is tested for "true", 1 and "false".
- Retained-command text, DOCS and DECISIONS updated to match.

Each battery gets an MQTT-discovered Mode select and Use switch, only while
battery_modes_enabled is true. Commands go through handle_action(), the
/action path; refusals are logged once. Retained commands are never applied.
Turning modes off removes exactly the configs announced (kept in the store).
With modes off the announcement is byte-identical to ed739d4.

New option peak_margin_w (default 50 W, 0-500 W). The peak guard, the
forecast checks and the maintenance charge sizing aim at
peak_cap_w - peak_margin_w; the month peak, the bill, headroom, warnings
and every notice keep the real cap. Owner decision 2026-09-28.
peak_margin_w 0 is byte-identical to ed739d4 (tools/safety79_identity.py,
test_peak_margin.py part 1). validate.py rule 12 refuses a value outside
0-500, not whole, or not below the peak limit.

- arbiter: a mode now gives way only as far as a site limit above P_MODE
needs (_unit_modes at N>1, _site_mode at N=1). Before, the modes were
released only when the peak floor bound S, so a trade won above the floor
kept them and placed less than the floor (an Off battery at N=1 went to 0 W
under a 2000 W floor), and a capped grid charge released an Off battery.
While released, held batteries weigh 0 and carry only the shortfall.
- control: a side of the loop bound that reaches the rail is left to the
rail, so SAFETY-03's i_clamped still fires with every battery on.
- opt11_identity: add maintenance scenarios and a 6000-case arbiter digest
(peak floor, trades, maintenance, refusals); a5dddad digests pinned.
- tests: test_arbiter part 11, test_control (g), test_modes (0/1 refused,
loop bound counts live units only). DOCS and DECISIONS say the new rule.

A battery's mode is a soft unit limit (source `mode`, P_MODE 35) kept
apart from the hard limits in pre_resolve(). The allocator applies it
only while the site target is decided at or below 35 (new
Resolution.deciding_priority), so the peak floor releases it and a mode
`hi` never meets the site `lo`. At N=1 resolve() applies the same rule
to the site target after stage 2. A mode range without 0 W is dropped
as a software fault, so REFUSE_SIGN stays unreachable from a mode.
compute() gets the loop bound (sum over live units of hard limits with
modes applied), so the loop never asks for watts no battery may give
and the saturation freeze never parks on them. While charging, Leftover
solar weighs 0 so Solar first fills first. Store keys pack_use and
pack_mode per battery, set by two new /action values; Off stops and
skips maintenance with a log line. Minimal Batteries cards (EN/NL).
Off by default (battery_modes_enabled); off, commands are byte-identical
to a5dddad at N=1 and N=2 (test_modes.py part 1).

A new install names no inverter. When that is the startup gate's only
refusal, the add-on now serves the setup wizard in setup-only mode instead
of exiting 78. It builds no controller, MQTT client or meter task, its
HomeAssistant is read-only (every service call refuses before sending),
Controller refuses a read-only HomeAssistant, and /action answers 409.
Any other refusal still exits 78. DECISIONS/UX-15-setup-only-mode.md.
Wizard fixes from the UX-13 P4 test:
- F1: /config/validate converts what it can, so a conversion error blocks
its own step and the live checks still run; save 422 carries steps.
- F2: saves send the model the page opened (base); only keys this page
changed are written onto the blob stored now.
- A meter entity missing from Home Assistant is red on the last step.
- Step 1 says the reading went down after a skip that followed a fall.

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

the route list is unchanged, and every URL is relative.
- app/homeview.py: /status gains state, now, batteries, plan, attention,
month_peak and control beside the old fields. The plan is what the add-on
does today: the arbitrage verdict (the same plan.arbitrage() call as the

SAFETY-52's hold applied per unit at N>1 (owner, 2026-09-27, option R).
A unit that gives < 100 W for 12 cycles in one direction while asked
> 200 W, or trips its stale-reading gate on a ~0 W reading, gets a
P_SAFETY `refused` unit limit closing that direction, so the allocator
hands its share to the others within their own limits. Probe: a +-200 W
pin every 15 min, one unit at a time, only while the site asks 200 W that
way. All units refusing: the site law holds 0 W. Exits reseed the site
target from the wire. INFO plus one WARNING (REFUSES_ABOVE_CUT_OUT) above
the configured cut-out; SAFETY-42/43 no longer report a refusing unit.
N=1 unchanged.
test_refusal_units.py: cases a/b/c on flat and jitter registers against
the old behaviour, probes, recovery, exits; mutations U1-U13 all red.
TEST-19 no-fault campaign: 0 engagements in 5280 runs.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Engage (and seed from a stale stop) below REFUSED_BELOW_W, the probe's
own 100 W answer, not below saturation_w: a battery derated to 100-499 W
was held at 0 W ~93 % of the time.
- A reading of 100 W or more in the held direction ends the refusal, probe
or not: at a 1 s meter SETTLE_CYCLES is 12 s, shorter than a healthy
reading's lag, and that held a healthy step at 0 W until the next probe.
- test_refusal part 5b and a seed test; DOCS states the N>1 limit; the
DECISIONS record carries the traced cause of the replay's extra trips.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
At the BMS cut-out the saturation freeze held the last request for hours
(+5000 W for 11.87 h on 09-06, +1940 W for 3 h 55 m on 09-19) until the grid
error changed sign. compute() now carries a refused direction: after
SETTLE_CYCLES of a ~0 W reading against a larger ask it holds that direction
at 0 W, probes 200 W (below the gate's 250 W) every 15 minutes, and lets go
on charge, an answered probe, stop/start or another writer. A stale-reading
trip on a frozen ~0 W reading seeds the same hold, which ends SAFETY-59's
~70 s cycle. One inverter only; no SoC in the loop (SAFETY-25 Option A).
test_refusal.py drives the real Controller and gate; tools/replay_refusal.py
replays the 16-day capture. test_clamp.py and test_delivery.py re-baselined
where they asserted the old hold. DECISIONS/SAFETY-52 has the record and what
SAFETY-58/59 must take into account.

- After a restart, each restored stop (direction per inverter and site,
delivery, circulation) also writes its saved reason to the action log.
log_level defaults to info and events starts empty, so the DEBUG
evidence alone left the figures only in state.json.
- A flapping meter (ha_signed under a flat load, 42-97 s between changes)
logs at most one WARNING/INFO pair per 10 minutes, with the episodes in
between at DEBUG.
- LONG_LINE_OK refuses any key whose text is a safety reason.
- test_watchdog keeps the byte pin beside the meaning pin, since the text
did not change.
- DOCS says the DEBUG line needs log_level debug.

TEST-23 showed 'No meter reading for 30 seconds, over the limit of 30
seconds': the age is 30.4 s, which rounds to the limit. The limit alone is

- Every WARNING/ERROR line that reported a safety reason (direction, delivery,
stuck meter, stale reading, peak guard, circulation, over-rating) now ends in
the reason's code (messages.reason_code()). The reason itself, figures and
limits included, is on a DEBUG line right after it and in the action log.
- The reasons and state.json are unchanged, so an old state file loads and
shows the same way: every saved reason opens with its code.
- test_messages part 6 checks every WARNING+ line at 25 words as logged; nine
non-safety families are listed with a reason and capped. The byte pin in
test_watchdog now pins the meaning, in order.
- The meter logs one WARNING per quiet episode, and INFO when back, so the red
row's "the add-on log shows why" holds. The Why line past the hold names
the missing reading. Action log: "25 engagements", "Shadow mode off: ...".
No trigger, latch, threshold, log level, notification id, cadence, row colour
or banner order changed.

Part 6 checked the quoted reason alone, so title + reason + tails logged
as 4+ sentences. It now also checks the whole line (at most 3 sentences,
none over 30 words); 25 lines failed and are rewritten (one-sentence
wrappers, two-sentence circulation and peak reasons, STALE_READING's
fixed limits on a DEBUG line). The clamp lines for one inverter are
pinned at 30 words with OUTPUT_CLAMP and the numbers kept. Home
Assistant's bare '400: Bad Request' while it loads becomes one plain
line; still WARNING, throttled, a failed write.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- test_messages.py part 6: every dynamic part of a WARNING+ line is classified
as data or as a built text, and every built text is produced by the real
code and checked. This is the gap the 2d scan had: it counted `%s` as one
word, so reasons built by loop_clamp_note() and friends were never seen.
- Quoted reasons rewritten to STYLE.md (red-alarm shape, codes kept):
OUTPUT_CLAMP, METER_FROZEN, CIRCULATING_POWER, STALE_READING, the peak
guard (codes now PEAK_GUARD*), the migration report, price feed, price
history and gate reasons. Plurals via messages.times()/count().
- Top table: Price history "96 prices over 24 hours for 26 Sep", Tariff
"one every 15 minutes or every hour", "not final yet" dropped.
- Levels and noise: per-cycle shadow line DEBUG, shadow on/off INFO,
aiohttp access log only at log level debug, settings warnings once per
start, one plain line per Home Assistant outage (hass.Outage).
- INFO jargon and error texts: no "§8.3", ISO times, "banked", "keys ARE",
"NOT_OBSERVED", "did NOT land", "AND".
- Display bugs: WHY_WINNER covers every winner and safety reason
(main.why_key(), part 7 finds them in the code); the meter row is amber
"waiting for the first reading" inside its limit after a start; the
missing-reading age is counted when the page asks.
- STYLE.md and DECISIONS/UX-08-short-notifications.md (UX-10 section).
No change to safety behaviour, alarm levels, notification ids, triggers,
cadence or the banner cascade. One row colour changes (meter at start),
justified in DECISIONS.

- status_payload() also returns the action log as `events`. The page
does not render it. Some entries (a dropped inverter's reason, the peak
guard's projection, unplaced watts) are written nowhere else, and DOCS
still points installers at the action log.
- test_peakguard pins the engaged row's ordered pair (the battery's share,
then the limit).
- test_messages expands setting keys named by constants imported from
another app module, so the shown-text 30-word scan counts them.
- p1.py: 'A meter message could not be read'. DOCS glossary: control
board in plain words, with the hardware in an installer note.

Every WARNING and ERROR line is one plain line of at most 25 words, with
no card ids, capitals or semicolons; the reasoning of the ten longest is
on a DEBUG line. The ux08 allowlist is empty and its cap is 0 (43 -> 0).
The status page: the month-peak and peak-guard rows, the stale-reading
row, the top table (Why, Tariff, Arbitrage, Shadow mode, labels), the
Stopped banner and the line under the buttons, which now shows the plain
hint of each event instead of the raw action log. The Supervisor question
at start logs one line with a real reason.
Refusals are counted as shown (labels expanded, long cases driven), seven
were shortened, the card and parse errors lost their internals, a blank
value reads "empty", and the panel no longer files inverters.max_w under
the flat max_w. Option names lose "(JSON)", the NL texts are checked too.
DOCS gets a glossary (control board, isolator, Developer Tools) and card
ids move from headings to a "For installers" line.

The Supervisor questions for the Details link are asked together with a
3 s budget instead of one after the other at 10 s each, so a hung

- pv_entities description no longer claims the page names the entity (en, nl);
allowlist hash updated for that option-desc line.
- Plainer texts: multi-inverter direction banner, "fine now" after an episode,

- TEL-12 DECISIONS points to UX-08 item 3 for the retired row rule.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Every Commissioning row and every page banner is now worded in
app/messages.py (row_*, banner_*): one sentence of at most 15 words, a red
row up to three sentences so a latch still says how it clears, banners at
most 12 words. No row names a Home Assistant entity: sensors by their
setting, solar sources by their place in the list. Reason codes and limits
stay on the log line and event list; rows keep the numbers a reader acts on.
UX-07 item 1: ClampWatchdog counts over-rating and integrator-bound
engagements separately, and after an episode each count shows under its own
alarm's title instead of both under "output clamp".
No row colour, visibility or banner order changed. Rows carry an "id" so the
tests pin meaning rather than wording. The row and banner kinds leave the
allowlist (200 -> 168, cap equal). DOCS.md gains "Status page"; choices are in

- not delivering: the body said control keeps running and then "start
control"; clearing it takes stop then start, and it now says so.
- peak reserve: the "reserve not set" branch is really soc_floor None,
i.e. an inverter's cut-out level missing; it now names that. The title
is true on all three branches ("Battery stopped limiting the peak").
- no semicolon run-ons in bodies (STYLE.md + test); loop-bound, circulating,
meter-frozen and multi-unit over-rating bodies rewritten to match.
- allowlist cap is now exact, so a shrink cannot leave room to regrow.

DECISIONS no longer states the HA anchor behaviour as fact.

Every HA notification the add-on raises now has a title of at most 5
everyday words and a one-sentence body; a red alarm may use three so no
action is lost. The texts live in app/messages.py, the rule in STYLE.md,
and the detail that moved out in DOCS.md "Notifications", which each body
links to. No notification_id, trigger or cadence changed.
test_messages.py enforces the rule on every notification, fails any
notification worded outside app/messages.py, and ratchets the kinds not yet
rewritten (rows, banners, refusals, logs, options) through a shrinking
allowlist of 200. Six tests re-pinned from prose to meaning.

A later anti-windup notice could replace a write-path BUG SIGNAL notice
under the shared goodwe_output_clamp id (escalation ignores the budget).
The WARNING now uses goodwe_integrator_bound and points to DOCS; the
cadence sentence in DOCS is corrected. Tests pin both ids (red on fd14569).

The clamp alarm gave `i_clamped` (normal anti-windup) the over-rating BUG
SIGNAL text, printed `Decision.i_w` as "the loop asked for", and printed
`self.target` (after slew/freeze) as "was clamped to".
- clamp.loop_clamp_note(): i_clamped says "the loop's integrator reached its
N W anti-windup bound" with this tick's command; clamped keeps BUG SIGNAL
with the requested command and the clamp's own result.
- Decision carries i_bound_w / requested_w / clamped_w, set at the clamp.
- i_clamped still counts and notifies (same id, cadence, SAFETY-41
escalation) but as a WARNING, amber row, plain title. A bug has its own
notification budget and its text is not overwritten within an episode.
- test_clamp.py part 9: red on the old code per defect; 5 mutations killed.
- DOCS.md alarm section (and its stale 30 s cadence), DECISIONS/SAFETY-40.

A Core-only restart wipes persistent_notification and does NOT restart the
add-on (measured on TEST-23: the add-on's SAFETY-31 card was gone 4 min after
`docker restart test23-ha`, add-on StartedAt unchanged). The latched SAFETY-31
and SAFETY-42 cards were re-raised only on add-on start, so they stayed gone.
They are now re-asserted every REANNOUNCE_S = 300 s while tripped (same
notification_id, so it replaces). test_watchdog part 6 and test_delivery part
8b grade it with the same process across the "restart"; red on the old code.
The docstrings that said the add-on restarts with HA are corrected.
Record: goodwe docs/DECISIONS.md, SAFETY-34 D4.

Some PV entities (kWh meters, ESPHome clamps in the PV circuit) read positive
for consumption and negative for production. `pv_invert_entities` lists the
ones to flip; the flip is applied per member inside pv.total(), before the sum,
so the MQTT `pv` row and the status page carry the corrected figure. Default []
is byte-identical to 0.12.0.
Shape measured in supervisor_shape_probe.py section H (Supervisor 2026.08.0):
a parallel list validates the 0.12.0 blob unchanged and renders as its own
translated repeatable field; dicts on pv_entities refuse 0.12.0's stored
strings; a prefix is invisible syntax; a global bool cannot describe a mixed
roster. Status page marks flipped entities and cautions per entity below
-50 W, saying ADD or REMOVE. Telemetry only: control documents unchanged.
Record: DECISIONS/TEL-14-pv-sign.md (reverses TEL-11 section 2).

A done-callback on run_control()'s task logs the traceback at the death and
sets `stop`; amain() runs the ordinary wind-down (shutdown() ->
command_site_zero()) and main() exits 70 (EX_SOFTWARE). Normal stops and
run_control()'s refusal path are ignored by the callback (still 0 / 78).
hass.py: a malformed JSON body, a JSON non-object, and an undecodable error
body are an absence / a failed write, not an exception into the loop.
checks() gains a first "control loop" row, red past FIRMWARE_INGEST_VETO_S.
Why exit rather than restart in-process, and what the Supervisor actually
does on exit (restarts only with the per-install Watchdog toggle on, default
off): DECISIONS/SAFETY-61-control-task-death.md.

0.11.0 shipped `pv_entity` as a single string. The reference site's owner
reported within minutes of it going live that they have several PV inverters
and could configure one - which is ordinary for a multi-string roof, not a
property of one house. `pv_entities` is the roster and the row carries the
SITE total.
⚠️ THE HARD PART IS ABSENCE, NOT THE LIST. Three configured, one `unavailable`,
and the sum of the other two is a SMALLER NUMBER INDISTINGUISHABLE FROM A REAL
ONE. Read back by OPT-10 that says "there was less PV than there was" - the "no
irradiance" conclusion the channel exists to TEST. So `pv.total()` answers
`None` the moment any configured entity is absent: the topic carries HA's own
`None`, the entity goes to `unknown`, the recorder records a GAP. The
alternative (the partial sum beside a contributor count) was implemented and
run as mutation N1b; it loses because the MQTT row is read COLD a week later by
an attribution that would believe it, while the qualifying count would live in a
second entity with its own history. The partial information is not thrown away -
the STATUS PAGE names every entity that reported, with its watts, and every one
that did not, with its reason, because that surface is read LIVE by a human who
wants the diagnostic.
⚠️ AND THE MIRROR: a member honestly reporting 0 W is SUMMED. The test is
`is None`, never falsiness - a roster that blanked the site on a zero would
report an absence on every clear evening.
THE SURFACE IS MEASURED, NOT PREFERRED. `pv_entity` could not become a list:
tools/supervisor_shape_probe.py §G shows Supervisor 2026.08.0 answering an
0.11.0 install's stored string with `Invalid list for option 'pv_entity'`, and
deepmerge's list strategy is `override` so a `[]` default does not rescue it -
the live add-on would not start. `match(.*)?` does accept both shapes and is
rejected for a different, measured reason: it validates nothing (a string, a
list and the integer 417 all pass) and renders as a plain text box. So
`pv_entities` joins `pv_entity` and REPLACES it when set, CFG-04's rule for
`inverters:`, with a status caution saying which key won - a union would
double-count the inverter the old key still names.
STILL NOT A CONTROL INPUT. tools/tel11_pv_trace.py was extended rather than
replaced and now grades five claims over three document sets. The control hash
is UNMOVED - 846a10a5b89e… on `unset` and on `one`, on both trees - and the
roster control document is byte-identical between the two trees. 2/5 is a claim
TEL-11 could not make: with 0.11.0 as the baseline, "one entity behaves exactly
as 0.11.0 does" is a real cross-tree identity over control AND telemetry.
⚠️ TEL-11's OWN `--compare` REFUSAL HAD TO CHANGE, and that is MUTATION.md habit
24: a discriminator defined as "the baseline lacks this feature" dies on the
release that ships the feature, and dies as a false refusal.
Twelve mutations, each on a fresh purged `cp -a`, no survivors. N5 is +0 B
(`sum` -> `max`, the same three characters) and was run on a fresh copy with
`cmp` confirming the edit on disk. The fixture is three distinct NON-ZERO
contributions in two units with absence driven at EVERY position - a member
contributing 0 W could go absent without moving the sum of the rest, which is
habit 23 with a coinciding value in the arithmetic rather than in the plant.
31/31 in the CI image. Not deployable as merged: config.yaml stays at 0.11.0,
so predeploy_check.py reports a NO-OP until PKG cuts a version. A CHANGELOG
entry is wanted and deliberately not written - 11b forbids `## Unreleased` and
the bump is PKG's call; DECISIONS/TEL-12-several-pv-inverters.md is the
material it needs.

OPT-10 measured that this site's pack reaches 90 % SoC on 2 days of 16 and that
20.5 kWh of surplus left the site while the pack had room - 12.6 kWh of it with
the battery not charging at all - and could not say WHY, because PV production
is recorded NOWHERE. Three causes need three different fixes (no irradiance:
nothing to fix; a charge-power limit; the optimiser declining to charge, which
is the only software defect) and guessing between them is how an optimiser gets
tuned to solve a cloud problem. This card adds the channel. It does not do the
attribution.
AN HA ENTITY, NOT A REGISTER, AND THAT IS A PRODUCT DECISION. This add-on's
RS485 bus carries the BATTERY inverter it drives; a household's PV inverter is
normally a different box from a different vendor reporting into Home Assistant
through its own integration. `pv_entity` takes whatever `sensor.*` the site's
own PV integration provides, any brand HA can read.
POSITIVE IS PRODUCTION, AND THERE IS NO `pv_invert`. The convention is derived
rather than assumed: `meter_entity` is positive when IMPORTING and `batt_entity`
is positive when DISCHARGING (DOCS.md, Sources), both of which are "power
arriving at the house's AC bus", and production arrives there too. Those two
keys carry invert flags because they are BIPOLAR and are READ BY THE CONTROL
PATH - `inv.batt` feeds SAFETY-30's per-unit sign check and SAFETY-31's
circulating-power sensor, so a reversed sensor hands the site a plausible number
it acts on. Production is unipolar and is read by nothing: a reversed sensor
announces itself as -4 kW at noon in the very history this card creates, and a
flag would only let an installer hide it. No negative-value alarm either - a PV
inverter's own standby draw makes a small negative reading at night ordinary, so
any threshold would be a number nobody measured.
ABSENCE IS NEVER ZERO, AND "DROPPED" IS NOT ABSENT. `publish()` SKIPS a None,
which is right for `circulation` and exactly wrong here: a skipped row leaves
Home Assistant holding the last number forever and the recorder draws a FLAT
LINE through the outage, which is indistinguishable from a measurement and
manufactures the "there was no surplus" conclusion this card exists to TEST. So
the absence is published, with HA's own payload: `mqtt/const.py` declares
`PAYLOAD_NONE = "None"` and `mqtt/sensor.py` tests it BEFORE the numeric branch,
so the entity's state becomes `unknown` and the recorder stores a GAP. Read out
of home-assistant/core `dev` on 2026-09-24 and quoted at the constant.
`ABSENT_AS_UNKNOWN` is a one-key set and the suite asserts `circulation: None`
is STILL dropped.
THE UNIT IS READ OFF THE ENTITY. `mW`, `W`, `kW`, `MW`, `GW`, `TW` - HA's own
`UnitOfPower`, every factor an exact power of ten. A sensor with no unit, or a
unit outside that table, is REFUSED by name and the status page says which.
`read_inputs()`'s `abs(raw) < 50` kW-or-W guess is safe for a quarter-hour
demand forecast and is NOT safe here: 30 W of dusk is an ordinary reading and
that heuristic would publish it as 30 kW.
GENUINELY OPTIONAL, AND NOT A SECOND `price_now_entity`. validate.py does not
mention the key - it cannot conflict with anything, because nothing else reads
it. The MQTT row lives in a new `OPTIONAL_SENSORS` list whose `include` argument
DEFAULTS TO EMPTY, so every caller that has never heard of `pv_entity` -
test_mqtt.py's fixtures, tools/rehearse_roster.py, anything written next year -
announces exactly what it announced before. Unset: no state call at all, no
entity, no topic, no status row, no page row. Set and failing: a CAUTION
(`ok=False, warn=True`), never a `bad` row, so a telemetry channel can never put
a battery site into NOT READY.
IT MUST NOT BECOME A CONTROL INPUT, AND THAT IS GRADED TWICE. `test_pv.py`
part 6 drives 40 cycles of the real `cycle()` and asserts the commands are
bit-identical across unset / no reading / 0 W / 8 kW, with a COMPUTED census
(33 modules under app/) showing the material is mentioned in exactly three:
pv.py, main.py, mqtt.py. `tools/tel11_pv_trace.py` is the cross-tree half -
`safety56_behaviour_trace.py`'s pattern with a DIFFERENT control clause, because
this card's claim is that nothing differs rather than that only sentences do: it
REFUSES unless the two `app/` fingerprints differ and unless exactly one side
reacts to the option. Measured on 41 stimulus cells:
control release/1.0 unset 846a10a5b89e321086d535825925721e2f791012e8405948d4fd38d3f9d0be5f
control TEL-11 unset 846a10a5b89e321086d535825925721e2f791012e8405948d4fd38d3f9d0be5f
control TEL-11 set 846a10a5b89e321086d535825925721e2f791012e8405948d4fd38d3f9d0be5f
telemetry release/1.0 unset a443a6ceaffe072b44bcd5f2ad946c1ed6c9e01b69e278eca631f7f4d7892164
telemetry TEL-11 unset a443a6ceaffe072b44bcd5f2ad946c1ed6c9e01b69e278eca631f7f4d7892164
telemetry TEL-11 set 4e6d1cb289a957223ad0205f732a6fec6110ce1f2032c98ad60694e67625274f
UNSET is byte-identical in BOTH documents, which is stronger than "the control
path is untouched": an install that does not set the option sees no change of
any kind, announcement and status rows included.
⚠️ AND THE CARD'S CENTRAL MUTATION WAS A SURVIVOR ON THE FIRST BATTERY.
`self.grid -= self.pv_w` in `read_inputs()` - +106 B, on disk, purged, genuinely
running - came back GREEN, because the fixture drove a 6 kW export over 12
cycles, which puts the loop AGAINST ITS RAIL: a command moving `slew_w` every
cycle produces the same ramp for -6000 W and for -14 000 W of apparent error.
MUTATION.md habit 23 with a saturated ACTUATOR in place of a coinciding value,
and it is in that file now as the habit's second instance. The fixture now
drives a 600 W import the loop SETTLES on, against a responsive meter, and asks
habit 23's own question as its own check: shift the METER by the same 8 kW and
confirm the commands really would have moved.
Evidence: 31/31 suites green in the CI image, checks.yml's exact command, purged
tree, `:ro`. Ten mutations, NO survivors, each on its own `cp -a` of the tree so
habit 18's revert hazard is closed by construction - table in
`DECISIONS/TEL-11-pv-production.md` §7 with byte deltas and sha256s.
⚠️ THIS IS A RUNTIME CHANGE BEHIND AN UNCHANGED VERSION, AND
`tools/predeploy_check.py` WILL REFUSE IT. `app/`, `config.yaml` and
`translations/` are all in its `RUNTIME` tuple and `config.yaml` still reads
0.10.1, so the gate reports a NO-OP deploy until a version is cut. That is PKG's
call and this card does not take it.
No CHANGELOG section: `test_version_gate.py` 11b refuses a newest `## ` heading
that is not config.yaml's `version:`, and opening one would mean taking that
same packaging decision. The operator account is in DOCS.md.
