Readings that Home Assistant delivers late but still changing passed
every staleness gate, so the loop corrected again each cycle an error
its last command had already fixed (10 s late: the give run swung and
exported to -1.9 kW), and the peak guard pushed to the inverter limit
on the same late figures (OPT-34 F-2).
app/lateness.py fits how long after a power request the meter shows
it. Over 8 s the readings are late: a request the battery reading has
not answered holds the loop (it may not lead the reading by more than
100 W) and caps the peak guard at what stands; unanswered for 23 s it
holds, then 0 W after stale_input_s. An amber row and one log line per
episode say so. With readings on time nothing changes (digests equal).
