adminandClaude Opus 5 e6c45a61e7 TARIFF-10: configuring a price provider is what fetches prices
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 7m19s
amain() started the background tariff refresh only when arbitrage_enabled was
on, and that option ships false. run_tariff_refresh is the only caller of
resolve_tariff(), which is the only caller of price_history.carry() - so on a
shipped install with a price provider configured nothing was ever fetched: no
plan resolved, /data/price_history.json never created, the Price history status
row reading `empty` for the life of the install, and TARIFF-09's short-horizon
warning unable to fire because there was no fetch to warn about. Measured over
a 40 h two-instance soak on one feed: 0 requests and `present: false` across all
802 samples, against a resolved 132-point plan on the instance with arbitrage
armed.

git log -S puts the refresh task, its arbitrage.enabled() guard AND the DOCS.md
sentence saying a configured provider still fetches in the same commit - OPT-04,
bdd7f18; config.yaml has carried the claim since TARIFF-02, 852fc7c. The prose
and the code disagreed from the moment both existed and nothing compared them.
config.yaml and both translations additionally carried a claim that had rotted
the other way - "nothing consumes the price series yet", untrue since OPT-04
shipped the consumer. All four surfaces now say what the add-on does, and a
check pairs DOCS against the DRIVEN behaviour so they cannot drift again.

The gate is tariff_refresh_wanted() = provider_configured(opts) or
arbitrage.enabled(opts), and the `or` is a STRICT WIDENING: every configuration
that started the task before still starts it. The second term is not there for
symmetry. price_provider: off + a static_profile + arbitrage_enabled: true is a
configuration validate.py explicitly ACCEPTS and it trades - measured, at
cycle_cost_threshold_eur 0.05 on a 0.20/0.284 day/night profile,
ARBITRAGE_CHARGE -5000 W. Gating on the provider alone would leave that site's
tariff_plan at None forever and answer "no tariff plan has been resolved yet" on
every cycle, silently disarming a strategy the UI says is running.

Nothing acquires a periodic HTTPS call. With price_provider off, resolve_tariff()
answers out of the static profile without opening a socket (driven and counted:
0 requests), and the true shipped default - no provider, no trading - starts no
task at all. What decides whether a request leaves the machine is price_provider
and only that. The literal reading of the ticket's AC2 - drop the `or` - is one
token and is recorded in DECISIONS §3 with what it costs, for the owner.

AND NOTHING TRADES THAT DID NOT TRADE BEFORE. cycle()'s
`if arbitrage.enabled(self.o):` is untouched, and that is graded directly rather
than inferred from the gate having moved: Controller.cycle() is driven on a
resolved provider plan with the peak guard asserted clear, and arbitrage_enabled
is the only option that moves between the rows - false/false give +180 W
("loop -> 180 W") on both the cheap-now and dear-now plans, true/true give
-5000 W and +5000 W ("arbitrage -> ...").

TariffPlan.cheap_now() is deliberately NOT wired, decided rather than inherited
(DECISIONS §4). A provider-backed plan now exists on every configured site, so
Cheap window could read it - and Cheap window feeds the maintenance cycle's grid
top-up, the one place a price moves energy without trading being armed. On a
provider-only site static_status() returns False on every cycle, so adopting it
would take a paid grid top-up from never to sometimes. self.cheap stays on
static_status(); what adoption would take is listed rather than left implied.

THE CHECK THAT WOULD HAVE CAUGHT THIS is test_price.py section 13, and it grades
REACHABILITY FROM A CONFIGURATION rather than the shape of an `if` - the `if` was
exactly what somebody meant to write. amain()'s guards are EVALUATED against real
option dicts, whatever they are spelled as; the call graph under app/ is walked
to see whether the tasks those guards start arrive at resolve_tariff(), wherever
it has moved to; and then the fetch is DRIVEN with a counting transport, because
a graph is an argument and a counted request is an observation. What the
instrument cannot see is printed on every run, largest hole first.

Evidence: 29/29 green. 13 mutations in 14 runs - M10 re-run as M10b once it was
closed - each applied to a fresh cp -a of the clean worktree rather than
reverted (MUTATION.md habit 18), purged, :ro, -B. The
shipped defect - the gate back at arbitrage.enabled(opts), -4 B - is red on
seven named checks. Dropping the `or` (-27 B) is red on the strict-widening row;
removing cycle()'s trading gate (+8 B) is red on both AC3 rows. The instrument
is mutated too (habit 16): _reaches() always True and _task_sites() returning []
are both +0 B and both red.

Two findings are recorded rather than rounded off. provider_id() dropping
.strip() (-8 B) was a real SURVIVOR across four price suites - nothing fed a
padded provider id - and is closed in this commit by the padded-id pair; and the
first draft of the AC3 fixture fed five minutes of P1 telegrams, so whether the
peak guard was blind depended on where the wall clock sat inside the billing
quarter and the armed baseline failed to trade on some runs. It is 900 s now,
and the guard's clear state is a check rather than an assumption.

Claude Opus 5 17b7b447c4 TARIFF-09: ask the day-ahead feed for the horizon it was handed
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 7m10s
`generic_dayahead.fetch()` accepted `since` and `until` and requested the
bare `?bzn=BE`, which answers ONE Brussels day. Everything past today was
then filled from yesterday's profile by FCST-04, flagged provisional, and
§8.3 drops provisional hours from the trade set -- so the optimiser never
saw tomorrow as firm, at any hour of any day, and nothing reported it.

Measured on 4257e38 at 2026-09-10T09:00+02:00, 48 h horizon, live feed,
yesterday seeded through the shipped read path:

    60 firm points (15 whole hours) + 33 carried hours of 48 requested
    carried: 24 h on 2026-09-11, 9 h on 2026-09-12
    arbitrage(0.10): buy 11:45 and sell 19:45 -- BOTH on 2026-09-10
    firm local days = [2026-09-10]

The ceiling was structural: with a one-day window, at hour H a 48 h horizon
is at most 24-H firm and 24+H carried. At 23:00 that is 1 and 47, and the
remaining firm spread (0.0464 EUR/kWh) no longer clears the default 0.10
threshold, so arbitrage is refused outright. FCST-04's fill covers the
window until the ~13:00-14:00 CET auction; it was never meant to cover
every hour of every day.

The data exists and the endpoint serves it: verified 2026-09-10T07:45:49Z,
`?bzn=BE&start=2026-09-09&end=2026-09-10` returns 192 quarter-hours across
two local days. Committed unmodified beside TARIFF-08's captures, with the
URL, retrieval time and sha256 recorded and RE-DERIVED by the replay.

THE RANGE IS DERIVED ON THE BRUSSELS CALENDAR, not the UTC one. 22:30 UTC
in summer is already tomorrow in Belgium, so a UTC-derived start asks for
the day the controller has just left and drops the day it is standing in,
for the last one or two hours of every day. That is `_bdate()`'s lesson one
layer up with a worse consequence: `_bdate()` misfiles an hour, this never
fetches it. `until` is exclusive, so local midnight belongs to the day
before it; an inverted window collapses to one day rather than a backwards
range. Both ends are graded and both are driven red by mutation.

After, same code path and window, a feed serving both days: 39 firm hours
and 9 carried (was 15 and 33), firm across TWO Brussels days, and the
permitted cycle buys on one day and sells on the next.

`price_feed_url` IS THE EXACT URL AND THE PLUGIN APPENDS NOTHING. `start`/
`end` are this feed's spelling and the provider declares a second host
whose parameters are different, so merging would produce a request nobody
typed and the short horizon anyway. The cost is real, so it is not silent:
a WARNING on the shipped logger at fetch time names the consequence and the
start..end that would otherwise have been asked for. `dated_feed_url()`
refuses to append to a base that already carries a query string, so the
blind-append shape cannot come back by edit.
DECISIONS/TARIFF-09-the-range-and-the-override.md argues the alternative.

Before publication nothing regresses and it is graded, not assumed: at
09:46 CEST the two-day request came back byte-identical to the one-day
body, and that stays a `series` of what exists with FCST-04 filling the
rest. A `no_data` there would switch a working site's arbitrage off every
morning -- the mutation that adds that rule is red by name.

The plugin contract is still NOT enforced: three shipped plugins point at
endpoints nobody has verified, and a rule obliging them to pass a range
would be satisfied by an invented parameter name -- TARIFF-08's defect
moved from the response to the request. Which plugins consume the range is
pinned as a literal instead.

11 mutations, all red, no survivors; each applied to a fresh copy of the
tree rather than reverted, through tools/mutation_run.sh. One is +0 B (a
single price digit inside the committed capture) and the re-derived sha256
catches it. MUTATION.md habit 20 records why a fixture could never have
reached this: a captured body is the answer to a URL, and no property of a
body says which URL was asked for. All 29 suites green.

adminandClaude Opus 5 7a5281e97f Merge release/1.0 (FCST-06) into TARIFF-08
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 7m10s
One conflict, in CHANGELOG.md's `## Unreleased` block, exactly as expected
from two branches landing beside each other: both `_this branch_` table rows
and both sections are kept, FCST-06's first. Nothing else conflicted -
FCST-06's `test_price_history.py` section 5d and this branch's columnar
`feed_body()` merged cleanly - and all 29 test files are green on the result.

adminandClaude Opus 5 6eba18968c TARIFF-08: the day-ahead feed is read in the shape it actually publishes
checks / unit (pull_request) Failing after 3s
`generic_dayahead` could not read one byte of `api.energy-charts.info`, and
never had been able to. `_points_from_json()` asks for `doc["data"]`, a list of
`{start, price_eur_mwh}` objects; that document does not exist. Fetched live on
2026-09-10 the feed returns COLUMNAR parallel arrays and no `data` key at all -
`unix_seconds` (96 UTC epoch seconds, 900 s apart), `price` (96 floats),
`unit: 'EUR / MWh'`. Driving the shipped parser against that body:
`SourceUnavailable: the feed carried no 'data' list`. It is the only shipped
provider whose endpoint anybody has reached, so dynamic pricing did not work.

AND §11.4 MADE IT SILENT, which is why it survived to release: a parse error
becomes no_data, becomes the static profile, becomes arbitrage off - the
CORRECT degradation, saying nothing about the cause. A site would have sat on
the fallback indefinitely.

AND THE SUITE COULD NOT SEE IT, because every fixture was built from the
parser's own assumption. test_price.py, test_price_history.py and
test_static_tariff.py each built `json.dumps({"data": [...]})`, a shape invented
here and published by nobody, so the checks graded the parser against the
parser's guess - a closed loop no coverage inside it could ever have escaped.
MUTATION.md habit 19 records it as the fourteenth instance of habit 4 and the
first where the fixture and the code under test shared a SHAPE, not a number.

WHAT CHANGED

* `_points_from_columnar_json()` - a SECOND function, not a sniff. A parser that
  decides which document it received is one that can decide wrong, and a
  wrong-but-parseable response then becomes a price. Feeding the row shape to
  `generic_dayahead` is now a graded no_data.
* Unequal arrays are refused in both directions, with the two lengths in the
  reason. `zip()` stops at the shorter list silently, and a truncated `price`
  array would have produced a real series missing the evening peak - traded on
  as complete, where no data at all switches arbitrage off.
* A unit that is not EUR/MWh is refused. The plugin converts with a fixed
  0.001, and `MAX_PLAUSIBLE_EUR_KWH` only bounds prices that are too LARGE.
* `unix_seconds` are read as UTC instants explicitly; §9.3's Brussels rendering
  stays in `assemble()` rather than being copied into the plugin, where a
  mutation could not tell it from a no-op (M4 proved exactly that on a first
  draft, and the line was removed rather than fenced).
* A published null is dropped and logged with a count; an all-null body is
  no_data named by this parser rather than by the boundary validator.

FIXTURES

Two unmodified response bodies under `scenarios/`, captured by hand on
2026-09-10: quarter-hourly (2026-09-10, 96 points at 900 s) and hourly
(2025-09-10, 24 at 3600 s - the same endpoint before Belgium's 15-minute MTU).
`energy-charts-be-price-captures.json` records the URL, retrieval time, unit,
licence-as-returned and a sha256 of each, and the replay RE-DERIVES the
checksums, so a fixture edited to make a check pass stops being a capture. Data
CC BY 4.0, Bundesnetzagentur | SMARD.de, via Energy-Charts (Fraunhofer ISE),
published without changes - the same BE-zone licence check DATA-02 established.

The surviving invented fixtures are renamed `synthetic_row_feed` at every call
site. `engie_dynamic`, `totalenergies_dynamic` and `eneco_eddy` are untouched
and have no capture: their URLs are unverified and withdrawing them is
TARIFF-07's open decision. Nothing should read their green checks as evidence
that those feeds parse.

MUTATIONS - 12, all red, no survivors. Purged tree, mounted `:ro`, `python3 -B`
(TEST-15). M1 drop the equal-length refusal; M2 make it one-sided; M3 drop the
unit check; M4 `assemble()` stops rendering at the Brussels offset; M5 read
`unix_seconds` as a naive local clock; M6 zero-fill a null instead of dropping
it; M7 drop the all-null refusal; M8 sniff for the row shape; M9 drop the
deprecated warning; M10 drop the dropped-nulls warning; M11 edit one price in
the committed capture; M12 point `generic_dayahead` back at the row parser -
red across all three price suites.

END TO END, LIVE, 2026-09-10: `resolve_tariff()` returns a `TariffPlan`,
`origin='provider'`, 96 quarter-hourly points, spacing [900] s, no decimation,
first point 2026-09-10T00:00:00+02:00 at 0.30608 EUR/kWh all-in. FCST-04's H1
fix was never theoretical. All 29 test files green.

STILL OPEN: `generic_dayahead` asks for no date range, so the default URL
returns one published day - a full 48 h horizon is reached only through §8.3's
carry-forward fill.

adminandClaude Opus 5 c45893ffad FCST-06: "cannot persist" becomes one question, asked once, about the outcome
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 7m14s
price_history.py's docstring states its rule unconditionally - "A store that
cannot persist now records nothing, and both of its answers say the same
thing" - and FCST-04 enforced it against `not self.ok` only, which is one
SYMPTOM: the durable volume is missing. `ok` is about the DIRECTORY, and a
read-only remount and a full disk both leave it True. Reproduced on 5059e28
against two real volumes, a /data bind-mounted read-only and a full tmpfs:

    last_error = 'could not write ([Errno 30] Read-only file system)'
    words      = '2026-01-14 (24 points over 24 h); 2026-01-15 (24 points
                  over 24 h) [could not write (...)]'
    yesterday()= series, 24 points
    ON DISK    = {}

`words` and `yesterday()` were describing two different stores, and the 24
points were gone on the next restart with nothing saying so - the
silently-forgetting cache that rule exists to refuse, reached by the condition
it did not name. No shipped path reaches it: /data is the Supervisor's durable
volume and this module is its only writer. The defect is that a guarantee the
module states about itself did not hold in one condition.

Route taken: `_remember()` refuses to retain what it could not write, and the
docstring's claim stands as written. It is now ONE derived predicate rather
than two places testing two symptoms. "Can this store persist?" cannot be
answered BEFORE the attempt - a directory that existed and was writable a
moment ago is not a write that completed - so it is answered after it, once,
by the only thing holding the evidence: `_save()` returns whether the file now
holds what memory holds. No volume is one False, an OSError is another.
`_remember()` keeps only what that one answer says was kept, and the
`not self.ok` test in `_remember()` is GONE rather than joined by a second one.
FCST-04's M4 and FCST-05's HIGH were the same shape, so a third cause now needs
no third branch.

What is undone is the MERGE, not the store. The state restored is the last one
that IS on disk, so a site whose volume fills at 14:00 goes on answering the
yesterday it wrote at 13:30 - that record survives a restart, so answering it
is not a promise the store cannot keep. It stops adding to it. The snapshot is
copy.deepcopy: a one-level copy shares the day record the merge rebinds
`points` on, and measured with one, a store holding 12 persisted points
answered 24 after a failed merge.

Not fatal, deliberately: §6 and this module's opening - a broken cache must not
be a broken controller, and an add-on that will not start because /data filled
up is a worse defect than this one. `_save()` reports and returns; the shipped
resolve_tariff() path still gives a provider plan with no §11.4 degradation.
What changed is that the failure is now acted on rather than only logged.

test_price_history.py section 5d drives it on two REAL failures with different
syscalls and different errnos - a directory where the file goes (os.replace,
EISDIR) and a volume moved out from under an open store (mkstemp, ENOENT) -
because the rule is enforced on the outcome and one cause would grade a
coincidence. DOCS.md's "where there is no /data" sentence is widened to the
condition the code now holds to.

MUTATION.md gains what M4 exposed: a mutation whose red is a TRACEBACK reports
however many checks ran before it and grades none after it. M4 first printed
1 FAIL; the true figure is 3. An f-string operand read `len(read.points)`, and
`.points` on a no_data raises `Absence` by design - why()'s rule arriving in
what a check PRINTS rather than in what it asserts. `npts()` is now beside
why(), and a red count is a lower bound until the run is seen to reach the end
of its section.

6 mutations, purged tree, every one RED on named checks, no survivors:
M1 self._days = before -> dict(self._days)          +10 B  9 red
M2 _save() OSError handler returns True             -1 B   9 red
M3 _save() returns True on `not self.ok`            -1 B   3 red
M4 self._days = before -> self._days = {}           -4 B   3 red
M5 copy.deepcopy -> dict                            -9 B   3 red
M6 `if not self.ok: return` back in _remember()     +43 B  1 red

All 29 test files green. Nothing deployed; no option added; config.yaml and
app/ behaviour on a healthy /data untouched. No version number picked - that
is the open decision the Unreleased block names.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 375a1e29d2 FCST-05: one byte stops stopping the add-on, and the write path gets the read path's standard
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 7m10s
HIGH - a non-UTF-8 byte in /data/price_history.json stopped the add-on
from starting. `_load()` caught `(json.JSONDecodeError, OSError)`.
`UnicodeDecodeError` is `ValueError -> UnicodeError -> UnicodeDecodeError`:
neither of those, and `issubclass(UnicodeDecodeError, OSError)` is False. So
it escaped `_load()` -> `_open()` -> `PriceHistory.__init__`, which
`Controller.__init__` does not guard - breaking `_load()`'s own stated
contract, "a corrupt cache must not stop the controller". The handler now
names the ValueError FAMILY (the file's content) beside OSError (its bytes),
because a third subclass nobody has thought of is how this arrived the first
time. The suite could not see it: its "unreadable file" fixture writes
"{ this is not json", which is valid UTF-8 and fails one step later, in
`json`. A fixture holding a genuinely undecodable byte is now beside it,
with the difference between the two asserted as a precondition.

MEDIUM - a malformed `start` under the day the feed is writing to killed the
tariff plan permanently. `_remember()` merged with `{q["start"]: q ...}` and
sorted on `q["start"]`, trusting a value read off /data to be a hashable,
sortable string. An int, null, a dict or a list raised TypeError out of
`carry()` -> `resolve_tariff()` -> `run_tariff_refresh`, which catches
Exception - so the add-on stayed UP while every refresh raised forever, the
plan retiring after TARIFF_MAX_AGE_S with arbitrage and the cheap window off
for good, and no self-heal because `_remember()` raised before `_save()`.
The read path was properly defensive throughout, which is why `yesterday()`
survived and the existing fixture passed - it files its malformed rows under
a day the feed is NOT writing to. Both paths now share one validator,
`_point_of()`. A row that is not a point is dropped, reported, and written
back out clean.

...and the status row said the store was healthy while the plan was dead:
`words` read '2026-01-15 (1 h)'. `_load()` now counts the rows inside a kept
record as well as the record itself, so the store stops reporting plain
health from the moment it is opened; the note names what was FOUND at open
and what was DROPPED by the refresh, and clears once the file is rewritten.

...and the merge key is the validated INSTANT rather than its spelling,
which is what rule 4 already said. The lexicographic sort beside the string
key also put the second 02:00 of the 25-hour October day (+01:00) before the
first (+02:00); stored order only, since `_parse_points()` re-sorts.

LOW - the status row counted POINTS and printed them under the HOUR's name:
'2026-01-13 (96 h)' for a 24-hour day on the quarter-hourly feed this add-on
already supports. It is now '96 points over 24 h' - two facts, each under
its own unit.

LOW - two stated reasons were false. `_audit`'s "WHY IT IS STRICTER" claimed
the rework refused the same published point emitted twice and a carried
point sharing a published hour, "which the old count never looked at". A
differential over the whole domain the audit can express finds ZERO
divergence in both directions: the old `seen` count already refused the
first (one point twice is one hour twice) and the old IDENTITY rule already
refused the second. The reworked audit is EQUAL to FCST-03's, not stronger;
the only behavioural change is the intended relaxation, and it stays. The
differential is committed as a check rather than left as prose.

...and the audit's real limit is named: it does not check COMPLETENESS. Fed
the decimation defect FCST-04 was raised for it ACCEPTS, and it accepts an
empty output. So `_audit` is not what stops that recurring - the count and
identity checks are, and the text now points at them. Not made complete:
`published` is the whole read while the fill emits only [since, until), so
the rule as stated is wrong, and building it takes the 1/12/48 h horizon
checks red on a healthy feed. Measured, not assumed.

12 mutations, purged tree, every one RED, no survivors. All 29 test files
green. Nothing deployed; no option added; config.yaml untouched.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 b59f5ce31b FCST-04: the carry-forward stops decimating a quarter-hourly feed, and a broken cache stops stopping the add-on
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 7m22s
Rework of the FCST-04 branch against review. Every finding below was proven by
a runnable script before it was touched and re-run after; every check added or
repaired was driven red by a mutation, `__pycache__` purged first (MUTATION.md,
TEST-15). 29/29 test files green.

⚠️ H1 - A SUB-HOURLY FEED WAS DECIMATED TO ONE POINT AN HOUR, AND THE SPREAD
WENT WITH IT. `fill_from_yesterday()` keyed the published set as
`{_utc_hour(p.start): p for p in r.points}` - LAST POINT OF THE HOUR WINS, the
other three dropped. `eneco_eddy` is the Belgian imbalance product and settles
per QUARTER, and `_validate_raw()` accepts any strictly-increasing spacing, so
this is a shape the product supports today. Measured on a 96-point quarter-hourly
feed - ALL FIRM, FULLY PUBLISHED, nothing to carry: the plan reached the
optimiser as 15 points, the arbitrage spread fell from 0.143 to 0.014 EUR/kWh,
and the cheapest "hour" became a `:45` point whose `at()` window runs into the
next one. Not the windowing effect this card is about; a feed losing 84 % of its
own prints, with no flag anywhere reporting it. The fill now decides only WHICH
WHOLE HOURS NEED CARRYING: every published point inside the window passes
through BY IDENTITY, and a carried point is added only for a whole hour with no
published coverage at all. Same feed, same fixture: 60 of 60 firm points kept,
spread 0.134 over the hours still ahead.

⚠️ AND `_audit()` GOT STRICTER, NOT LOOSER - that was the condition on doing it
at all. The old post-condition refused any repeated `_utc_hour`, a count that
cannot express four points in one hour. Two rules replace it and SUBSUME it: a
published point must BE one of that hour's published points by identity and may
be emitted only once; a carried point may stand only in an hour absent from the
published set, must be flagged True, and may not repeat. So the duplicated
carried hour it existed to catch still raises, the same published point emitted
twice now raises, and a carried point sharing an hour with a real print now
raises too - which the count never looked at. Three mutations, three reds.

⚠️ H2 - A DAY RECORD THAT WAS NOT A RECORD STOPPED THE ADD-ON FROM STARTING.
`_load()` validated `version` and that `days` is a dict, never that each VALUE
is one. `{"version": 1, "days": {"2026-01-14": "oops"}}` loaded as ok=True,
last_error=None, and then `rec.get(...)` raised AttributeError out of `words`,
`yesterday()` and `resolve_tariff()` alike. `PriceHistory(...)` and `.words` are
both unguarded in `Controller.__init__`, so the controller did not come up - and
it never self-healed, because `_remember()` raised on the same record before it
could reach `_save()`. That falsifies the CHANGELOG's "A BROKEN CACHE IS NOT A
BROKEN CONTROLLER" in the one direction that matters. The asymmetry that
produced it is visible in the file: `_parse_points()` is carefully defensive
about every field of a POINT and `_load()` was not defensive about the record
holding them. Unusable records are now dropped and REPORTED (`words` says how
many and why), and `words` is total by construction as a second line.

M3 - `yesterday()` WAS OFF BY ONE DAY FOR 00:00-00:59 AFTER SPRING-FORWARD.
`brussels()` renders at the FIXED offset for that instant, so `brussels(stamp) -
timedelta(days=1)` subtracts 24 ABSOLUTE hours - and the Brussels day before the
March transition is 23 hours long. At 2026-03-30T00:30+02:00 it returned
2026-03-28's prices as "yesterday", or `no_data` naming a date that is not
yesterday. The arithmetic is now on the local DATE, which has no offset to lose,
and both transitions have a check - the module's headline claim had none.

M4 - WITH NO /data THE STORE STILL FILLED, IN MEMORY. `_save()` short-circuited
on `not ok` while `_remember()` populated `self._days` anyway: `words` said
"unavailable" and `yesterday()` answered A SERIES that is gone on the next
restart. The module docstring rejects exactly that ("a yesterday that silently
forgets") as its reason for not calling makedirs, so the code now matches the
docstring rather than contradicting it.

M5 - THE PRUNE MUTATION SURVIVED BECAUSE THE STIMULUS WAS DEGENERATE. §8's
clock-jump check seeded ONE day, so `if len(self._days) <= KEEP_DAYS: return`
fired and the body it is named after never ran: pruning by arithmetic against
the clock - which empties the store on exactly the morning the fill is for -
passed the whole 29-file suite. The fixture is now written to a file and
reopened (`_load()` does not prune, which is how a store legitimately holds more
than the cap) with KEEP_DAYS + 2 days, and the mutant is red.

M6 - THE AST ORDERING CHECK COULD NOT CATCH A REVERSAL, AND TWO DOCUMENTS CITED
IT AS A GUARANTEE. `_calls.index("_remember") < _calls.index("yesterday")` grades
`ast.walk` BFS DEPTH: `self._remember(...)` is a statement and
`self.yesterday(...)` is an ARGUMENT of the fill, one level deeper, so
`_remember` came out first whichever statement was written first - shipped and
reversed both scored True. It is now line numbers AND, the half that matters,
the behaviour: a feed carrying yesterday alongside today into an EMPTY store
must fill the whole horizon; reversed, the lookup finds nothing and the plan is
only the published hours. Reversing the two statements is red on both.

L14/L9 - KEEP_DAYS = 3 IS THE STEADY STATE EXACTLY, so a newest-N cap has no
slack: a feed publishing to D+2, or ONE stray point in the wrong year - which
sorts LAST and can never age out - pushes yesterday out for good. `_prune()` now
PINS the two days a lookup can actually ask for on top of the cap. Pinning is
additive, so it can only RETAIN and the WITNESS-03 property (nothing is deleted
by clock arithmetic) is preserved by construction; `stamp` stops being a dead
parameter; the store is bounded at KEEP_DAYS + 2.

L8 - the horizon end was not floored while `since` was, so a 48 h request made
at any instant off the hour returned 49 points. §1's count was green only
because its NOW was exactly :00:00, a shape production never has; the fixture
now sits at :17:43. L10 - a failed `_save()` leaked its temp file; at 48 writes
a day a persistent write failure leaked 48 inodes a day onto the volume that was
already the problem. L15 - `{"version": 1.0}` passed, since `1.0 == 1`. L16 -
the `_remember` tree walk scanned `app/*.py` only and matched a bare string; it
now parses `app/`, `tools/`, `scenarios/` and `estop/` and looks for the NAME,
so a comment does not fail it and a call in `tools/` cannot pass unseen.

CLAIM-ACCURACY DEFECTS, WHICH THIS REPO TREATS AS REAL:

* L7. DOCS said "*Tariff* on the status page reads `provisional` through the
  morning". FALSE - `tariff_words` is assigned only from the HA price-entity
  branch and from `static_status()`, both on the 30 s tick, and the plan's own
  sentence reaches `_LOG.info`. The doc now says what an operator can see (the
  Price history row, the Arbitrage row's own refusal sentence, the refresh log
  line) and a check pins the PAIRING - wiring the plan into the row is fine,
  correcting the doc is fine, doing one without the other is red.
* L11. "fills EVERY unpublished hour" is conditional: a partial yesterday leaves
  the local hours it never held out of the series (§11.4 for those hours, and
  `at()` raises rather than answering). Correct behaviour, overclaimed wording,
  and untested - all three fixed.
* L12. DECISIONS §1 leaned on `TariffPlan.cheap_now()`, which has NO PRODUCTION
  CALLER on the provider plan (`self.cheap` comes from `static_status()`, which
  builds its own). The conclusion holds on `arbitrage()`'s firm-pair refusal
  alone, which does reach control; the evidence is now stated at the reach it
  has.
* L13. §1's "passed through by identity" check compared `eur_per_kwh` between
  two SEPARATE `resolve_tariff()` calls, where `is` could never have held. The
  value comparison is kept and now says what it grades; identity is graded on a
  read the file constructs and still holds.
* L17. `PriceHistory.words` and the new status row had no check at all - and
  `words` is one of the two things H2 crashed. Both now have one.
* L18. main.py's inline note carried the "widens what the optimiser can SEE,
  never what it may act on" guarantee without the windowing caveat that the
  CHANGELOG, DOCS and `resolve_tariff()`'s docstring all carry. It is the one
  place a maintainer reads it unqualified.

EVIDENCE. All eight reviewer proofs re-run: p1/p1b return 29 March, p4 keeps
60 of 60 firm points at spread 0.134, p5 starts and reports, p6 D leaves no
temp, p6 E refuses 1.0, p6 F records nothing, p7 returns 48 for 48. p2's script
still scores True/True because it re-implements the OLD algorithm - the
reversal is now driven as a mutation instead, and is red. p3's script always
showed the shipped code correct; what was wrong was the fixture, and its mutant
is now red. Twenty mutations driven, no survivors, tree fingerprinted and
`__pycache__` purged before each: decimation (2 suites red), audit x3, unfloored
`until` (2), unvalidated day records (7 checks), instant-subtraction yesterday,
in-memory fill on a volume-less store, clock-arithmetic prune, cap without the
pin, leaked temp, loose schema type, empty `words` (5), reversed `carry()` (2),
a `_remember` leak in tools/ spelled two ways, a neighbour-filling fallback, a
copy instead of identity (2), the DOCS claim in both directions, and the caveat
removed from main.py. Baseline and the unmutated tree both green.

No option added, config.yaml untouched, and the CHANGELOG entry still picks no
version: PKG-07's rule, and only the deployer knows whether 0.9.0's image has
been pulled.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 0618194d9c FCST-04: the carry-forward fill reaches the plan, and the day it carries survives a restart
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 7m11s
FCST-03 shipped `fill_from_yesterday()` complete and checked, and shipped the
consumers written for it - `TariffPlan.firm_points()`, `cheap_now()`'s refusal
of a provisional hour, and `arbitrage()`'s refusal 3, which drops provisional
hours from the trade set rather than refusing the whole series. It shipped NO
CALLER. Nothing in `app/` named the fill, so no series ever contained a carried
point and every one of those consumers was exercising its all-firm branch.

⚠️ THE DEFECT THAT PRODUCED WAS NOT AN ERROR ANYWHERE. `load_prices()` returns
what the feed published and nothing widened it to the requested horizon, so on
a dynamic site between midnight and the 14-16 h CET publication the plan
covered the rest of today and nothing more - measured on the fixture here, 24 h
against a 48 h request. `arbitrage()` then took `max - min` over that truncated
window and reported a spread. The number was real, the window was half the one
configured, and nothing said so: tomorrow evening's peak, the hour a morning
charge would be sold into, was not in the series to be compared against
anything. A missing hour is not a wrong price - it is an hour the optimiser
never learns exists.

WHAT THIS ADDS. `app/price_history.py` keeps the PUBLISHED prices of the last
KEEP_DAYS Brussels days in /data/price_history.json; `resolve_tariff()` gains a
required keyword-only `history` and fills every unpublished hour of the horizon
from yesterday's same-wall-clock hour, flagged. Persistence rather than a
variable on the refresh task, because the window the fill exists for is
midnight -> publication and an add-on restarted at 08:00 would otherwise spend
all of it on the truncated series. Not in state.json: the refresh runs every
1800 s and that file holds the maintenance history and SAFETY-02's latch.

⚠️ ONE CHANGE HERE MOVES ENERGY, AND IT IS NOT THE ONE THE CARD IS NAMED FOR.
Carried hours are provisional, so §8.3 keeps them out of the trade set: the
fill widens what the optimiser can SEE, never what it may DO, and
test_price_history.py checks that so it cannot be overclaimed later. What does
change a trade is that the filled series is windowed to [since, until), so
hours that have ALREADY ELAPSED are no longer in the spread. Before, a cheap
night that had gone sat in the series as the day's cheapest hour - and a cycle
cannot buy in an hour that is past, so the trade was quietly never taken.
Section 2 grades this by finding the cheapest firm hour with and without the
fill and showing it MOVES, from 02:00 UTC to 08:00 UTC on the fixture.

⚠️ A DEAD FEED IS STILL §11.4, NOT YESTERDAY. The fill runs only on a `series`
read. The two are indistinguishable to the optimiser - both 100 % provisional,
so arbitrage refuses on the firm-pair rung and `cheap_now()` is False - so
preferring yesterday's feed over the `static_profile` an operator configured
FOR that case would change a documented degradation for a difference only the
status page can see. That, and two more, in
DECISIONS/FCST-04-the-day-that-is-carried.md.

⚠️ THE ANTI-DECAY RULE IS AN ORDERING, NOT A VALIDATION, and saying so is more
useful than a guarantee that would not hold. Feeding the filled series back in
is how this rots - day 2 carries day 1's guesses, day 3 carries day 2's carry
of them, behind a `provisional` flag that stays TRUE while the NUMBER decays.
No value-level check can catch it: a carried point and `eneco_eddy`'s
published-provisional quarter are the same three fields with the same flag. So
`carry()` is the only public entry, it records BEFORE it fills, the filled
series exists only as a return value the object never sees again, and
test_price_history.py walks app/ for any other module naming `_remember` and
reads `carry()`'s AST to pin the order.

EVIDENCE. 29/29 test files pass in the CI image. Eight mutations driven against
app/price_history.py and app/static_tariff.py, __pycache__ purged before each
run per MUTATION.md/TEST-15: newest-record lookup (5 red), recording the filled
series (1), replace-instead-of-merge (10), UTC-date keying (10), removing the
fill call entirely (12), a lost price field defaulting to 0.0 (2), prune by
clock arithmetic (1), a degraded reason that stops naming its cause (1). No
survivors; baseline and revert both green. Three of those first crashed the
harness instead of reporting a FAIL - "it was refused" and "it broke on the way
to being refused" must not grade the same - so `why()` and `_priced()` were
added and the run repeated.

No option added, config.yaml untouched, and the CHANGELOG entry deliberately
picks no version: PKG-07's rule, and only the deployer knows whether 0.9.0's
image has been pulled.

Claude Opus 5 638c213944 ARCH-02 round 2: the pin could not tell one red leg from two, and the tool went
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 6m57s
quiet when a flag was forgotten

Both blocking findings were reproduced before anything was changed, and both are
the class this card exists to guard against.

B1. THE PIN WAS A COUNT, AND A COUNT CANNOT SEPARATE TWO ROUTES. The rehearsal
reaches the disarmed latch by two independent paths and prints every finding
TWICE per red leg - once in the leg's block, once in the closing summary - so
ONE red leg satisfied `count(...) >= 2`. Measured: shipped code 4; with
`migrate_unit_keys()` handed the roster's own name (SAME-STEP fixed) 2, PASSES;
with a guard-side fix (both fixed) 0. The check named "NOT THE SAME-STEP PATH
ALONE" reported ok on the build whose only remaining failure IS the staged path.
The tool now prints `LEG <id>` / `END LEG <id>` and the pin requires the finding
in EACH leg by name.

⚠️ AND THE FIRST SPLITTER CARRIED THE SAME DEFECT ONE LEVEL DOWN - it opened on
the marker and never closed, so the last leg absorbed the closing summary and
read red whenever ANY leg was red. Caught by building the one fixture that
separates them. Part 5b is now that fixture, run every time: a tree in which
SAME-STEP is genuinely clean and STAGED is not. A per-thing check that has never
seen the things disagree is a total with extra steps.

⚠️ AND IT CORRECTS A CLAIM THIS CARD MADE. `main.py:250` is NOT the whole fix.
Measured on that exact change: LEG SAME-STEP clean, LEG STAGED still DISARMED -
the staged path stamps `schema_version` on the flat start and the roster start's
migration returns early before the name it is handed matters. DOCS.md now says
so, with the measurement.

B2. A FORGOTTEN FLAG WAS A CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH. Omitting `--live-entities`
printed "nothing orphaned" and exited 0, with `grep -ci` for the words returning
0 - while an UNREADABLE file exited 2. The asymmetry was backwards. Omitting it
now refuses (exit 2); `--no-live-entities` is the deliberate opt-out and carries
a standing banner in the header AND on the exit line, because a report is
skimmed from the bottom.

N1. THE REFERENCE DID NOT CARRY WHAT HA KEYS ON. It held entity_ids only, so
renaming `mqtt.BASE` (every unique_id moves) and changing `DEVICE["identifiers"]`
(HA sees a new device) both came back exit 0 - real orphanings with every
composed id byte-identical. The reference is now three columns
(`entity_id unique_id device`), is loaded on EVERY run including a degraded one,
and M7/M8 pin both. `object_id` is deliberately not a column and its rename is
required to SURVIVE, which is what bounds the four mqtt.py mutations.

Also found while fixing the above, and fixed with its own paired positive: the
VANISHED check did not carry the default/non-default rule the STRANDED check
does, so a pair of migrated DEFAULTS moving namespace read as two findings and
CONTROL-C went red on a CORRECT build. M9 drops non-default keys and must still
be a finding.

N2/N3. DOCS.md withdraws the unmeasured "not recoverable by advancing again" -
its own reasoning cut the other way and nothing here tested a re-advance; the
measured part (eight rows stop updating, history gaps, automations stop firing)
stands. And the byte-identical-input property is `test_rehearse.py`'s assertion,
not the tool's.

FRAMING. SAFETY-44 is ALREADY RECORDED on the merge base - `test_maintenance.py`
section 13, with the "guard is defeated by the very key the defect wrote"
sentence, in a file this card does not touch. DOCS.md now says this is
independent re-confirmation through a second instrument, reachable from an
owner-supplied state file rather than only from a fixture, and not a discovery.

app/ is still untouched. 59 checks in test_rehearse.py, 9 mutations red, 2
required survivors, 3 clean controls.

Claude Opus 5 e06906d65f ARCH-02: rehearse the flat-to-roster switch, and it comes up disarmed
Nothing had ever run the real `Controller` through the transition inverter B's
commissioning performs on 2026-09-12. `tools/rehearse_roster.py` does, over a
COPY of a state file given as an input path, and reports the difference: every
store key that moved, appeared, vanished or was STRANDED under a name no
machine reads; every entity id before and after with orphans named; and whether
the maintenance history MAINT-05 moved once survived being moved again.

⭐ WHAT IT FOUND, AND IT IS SAFETY-44's ANSWER. A store that ran pre-DEV-02 flat
and declares a multi-inverter roster comes up with its SAFETY-02 latch DISARMED
unless the first roster entry happens to be called `inverter-a`.
`Controller.__init__` hands `migrate_unit_keys()` the hardcoded `UNIT_A`, so the
latch lands in `unit/inverter-a/sign_tripped`; a roster of ["garage","shed"]
reads `unit/garage/sign_tripped`, which is absent. And `_grade_store_migration()`
- the guard written for exactly this - sees the migration's OWN misdirected key
satisfy its `namespaced_latched` test and returns without re-arming. Measured,
not argued: the file says `sign_tripped: true`, no inverter is latched, nothing
is held at 0 W. The same state file onto a roster whose first entry IS
`inverter-a` comes up latched, so the finding is attributable to the name.

The staged upgrade reaches it too: the flat start stamps `schema_version`, and
the roster start's migration then takes its early return.

⚠️ NO RUNTIME CODE IS CHANGED HERE. The fix to `migrate_unit_keys()` belongs to
SAFETY-44 reopened as a defect, shown red before it; this commit is the
instrument that shows it red.

THE CHECK CAN FAIL, AND WAS SEEN TO. `test_rehearse.py` establishes two CLEAN
CONTROLS first - two transitions the shipped code gets right, on which the
harness must say nothing - and then breaks the shipped migration and the
entity-id composition six ways in a private copy of the tree, requiring each to
turn its control from green to red WITH THE RIGHT FINDING NAMED. One mutation
is required to SURVIVE, with the reason written down. The synthetic state
carries maintenance history and a legacy-shaped latched `sign_tripped` with no
`schema_version` beside it, because state built by the happy path cannot detect
a migration that only mishandles legacy shapes.

⚠️ THE FIRST DRAFT OF THE HARNESS HAD HABIT 4 IN IT and its own battery caught
it - MUTATION.md's thirteenth instance, third in an instrument. The entity diff
composed both sides with the same build, so renaming the MQTT device moved every
id equally and it reported "no orphans" about a change that orphans everything.
`--live-entities` is the fix: a reference that does not move with the code.

THE RETREAT is supported and does not corrupt state - the flat rollback view
keeps the latch and the first pack's history live - but it orphans eight HA
entities, and the ROUND TRIP is not supported: a maintenance cycle completed
while rolled back is discarded on re-advance. Stated in DOCS.md as a decision.

Fetching /data/state.json, the options blob and the entity list are OWNER STEPS
and are written down. ⚠️ Nothing here was run against real state and nothing
here claims to have been.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 477911afa1 UX-04: the 59 was computed and then graded against "> 15"
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 6m22s
Review approved and found four things worth fixing. Three are cosmetic; the
fourth is the same defect this card is about, one level up.

⚠️ THE FLOOR WAS PRINTED AS 59 AND ASSERTED AS `> 15`. So a manifest change
dropping the required count to 20 would have passed while the sentence beside it
still said 59 - a number displayed but not graded, which is exactly what let
UX-01's AC 3 survive review in the first place, and exactly the shape
`test_translations.py` was already fixed for.

Now DERIVED and graded in two separate assertions, because they are two
different claims:

  1. `_EXPECT_REQ = len(schema) - len(_OPTIONAL)`, where optional is Supervisor's
     own rule - a `?` suffix, plus `inverters` because `UiOptions` marks a list
     optional - asserted EQUAL to Supervisor's required count. The printed
     number is computed, so it cannot go stale.
  2. ⚠️ AND THE WITHDRAWAL'S PREMISE, SEPARATELY. The equality alone is not
     enough and I checked why: both sides read the same `?` convention, so
     marking a key optional moves BOTH and it stays green - measured, by making
     `slew_w` optional and watching it pass. That grades Supervisor agreeing
     with us, NOT the thing AC 3 was withdrawn for. The second assertion grades
     the premise: the floor is still far above the ~15 AC 3 asked for, and if it
     ever is not, the withdrawal needs re-arguing rather than re-asserting.

Driven, both directions, against the real 2026.08.0 image:

    clean                         PASS  "floor is DERIVED: 71 schema keys minus
                                         12 optional ones is 59, and
                                         Supervisor's own required flag agrees"
    premise threshold 15 -> 40    FAIL  "the floor of 59 is still far above
                                         the ~40 AC 3 asked for"

Also: a dangling reference to `DECISIONS/UX-04-hiding-and-the-deepmerge.md`,
which was never the filename shipped, and `DOCS.md` still saying section F
"prints" what it now grades.

Not changed, and review agreed both are disclosed rather than defects: the
pair-keyed ledger cannot see a SECOND site for a pair it already holds (the
site count can grow while the pair set cannot), and the probe's assertions run
by hand rather than in CI because they need the Supervisor image - the same
status as before this card, not a regression.

Suite: 27 files, all pass. Probe: all cases passed on
ghcr.io/home-assistant/amd64-hassio-supervisor:2026.08.0, --network none.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 04b3330def PKG-09: refuse a deploy that would be a no-op, or that the add-on would reject
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 6m16s
Two ways a deploy of this add-on has gone wrong, and the Supervisor reports
both as success.

THE SILENT NO-OP. The Supervisor keys the built image by `version:`, so
`ha apps update` against an unchanged version installs nothing and says it
worked. PKG-06 recorded this on 2026-09-05 with six merges behind an unbumped
version; PKG-07 recorded it again on 2026-09-06 with six. Both times a human
noticed. Nothing else was going to.

THE REFUSED CONFIG. A config the shipped validator rejects is SystemExit(78) -
the add-on does not start. ⚠️ AND THE INGRESS PANEL GOES WITH IT, because the
add-on serving it is not running, so recovery means the Supervisor UI.

⚠️ IT CAUGHT A LIVE ONE ON ITS OWN PULL REQUEST. Run against release/1.0 while
this branch was in review: version 0.8.0 on both sides with UX-02's and
OPT-09's runtime commits already merged behind it. The class this exists to
catch had recurred, the same day, unnoticed - which is the argument for PKG-10,
a non-required post-merge check, since this script only helps someone who
remembers to run it.

⚠️ THE FIRST VERSION WAS BROKEN ON EVERY REAL REPOSITORY AND ITS TESTS COULD NOT
SEE IT. The "when did the version last change" lookup was `git log -S`, the
pickaxe, which finds commits that change the COUNT of a literal string. A bump
edits the line IN PLACE, so the count never moves and it returned only the
commit that first INTRODUCED the line. Measured here:

    -S  ->  0a1e61d  2026-08-23  Packaged as a Home Assistant add-on
    -G  ->  06661c5  2026-09-06  PKG-07: bump 0.7.0 -> 0.8.0

so a correctly bumped tree was reported as 87 COMMITS BEHIND AN UNBUMPED
VERSION, PKG-06's and PKG-07's own bump commits among the offenders. A tool
whose whole purpose is to be trusted cried wolf on every run.

⚠️ AND `-G` IS NOT THE FIX EITHER, ONLY A BETTER FILTER - it matches a reformat,
a quote change, a comment moved onto the line. `-G` narrows the candidates and
the VALUE is then compared against the parent's.

⚠️ THREE DISTINCT SHAPES OF HABIT 4 IN ONE FILE, each found by a different
means, which is the honest record of how this landed:
  1. Fixtures built fresh repositories whose version line is introduced once and
     never edited - the one shape in which `-S` looks correct. Found by review.
     Answered with a three-state history; the old lookup goes red on 4 checks.
  2. That three-state history still could not tell "value-compared" from
     "filtered-only": review swapped in `-G`'s newest raw hit and THE WHOLE
     SUITE STAYED GREEN, so the docstring's central claim was pinned by nothing.
     Answered with a cosmetic touch of the version line - `-G` matches it, the
     value comparison does not. That mutant now goes red on 3 checks.
  3. The counts below were claimed fixed and two of them had not landed at all.

Two git shapes it still gets wrong are recorded in the docstring rather than
fixed - a bump resolved inside a merge commit (false refusal) and a bump
reverted while the work is kept (false clearance, the dangerous direction).
Neither has ever occurred here; both were constructed in review. Card PKG-11.

⚠️ AND THE PROSE COUNTS, WHICH I REPORTED AS FIXED WHEN THEY WERE NOT. Round 1
found "PKG-06 ... four merges" (its own commit message says six) and "recorded
eleven times" (MUTATION.md:550 says TWELFTH). I replaced them without asserting
the replacement matched, said "all applied", and round 2 found both still in the
tree - one fixed in DOCS.md but not in the script, one not fixed anywhere. A
claim that a correction landed is itself a claim that needs checking, and this
is PROC-01's tenth instance.

WHAT IT DOES NOT DO. It does not read the live box: the options blob needs the
Supervisor API. Without --options the validator half SKIPS - loudly, exit 2 -
and never pretends. On a bare host `app/validate.py` needs aiohttp, so that half
skips too and names the container to re-run in. A missing or malformed --options
file is a REFUSAL with a sentence, not a traceback.

EXIT CODES: 0 cleared, 1 REFUSED, 2 NOT CLEARED. ⚠️ 2 IS NOT A PASS.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 8d83ef0dfb OPT-09: the weights DO move on a wedged unit, and that narrows SAFETY-42
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 6m11s
B1, the blocking review finding. §5 of the decision said:

    "A wedged unit reads a healthy SoC, so no envelope closes and no weight
     moves - OPT-09 cannot see it at all."

The first clause is true and is about the ENVELOPE. The second clause is
FALSE, and it was load-bearing for the claim that OPT-09 and SAFETY-42 meet
without overlapping. A weight is a function of a pack's ENERGY HEADROOM, not
of what the pack delivers, so a wedged unit's weight moves whenever its
headroom differs from its sibling's - the ordinary case this card exists to
exploit. And delivery.delinquent() (app/delivery.py:484, threshold at :531)
names a unit only while its short_by() gap exceeds min_w = Tuning.saturation_w
= 500 W in ABSOLUTE WATTS. Shrinking the share shrinks the gap below the
threshold, and the alarm stops firing on a unit still delivering nothing.

So the seam, stated accurately: OPT-09 stops the ask AND narrows SAFETY-42's
detection window for a low-headroom unit. That is a DETECTION REGRESSION at
N=2. It is disclosed here, not fixed: making delinquent() relative to the ask
rather than absolute is SAFETY-42's code and a design change, filed as its own
card.

1. THE CORRECTION, in the three places that carried the claim

   * DECISIONS/OPT-09-soc-aware-weights.md §5 - rewritten. States the seam
     accurately, quotes the sentence it is replacing, carries the measured
     rows and the window arithmetic, and names the residual in the same voice
     as SAFETY-13's "2 of 272" and SAFETY-42's "the discriminator does not
     exist". Also drops "they meet and do not overlap" from the opening.
   * app/packshare.py - a new section in the module docstring, immediately
     after "weights are a comfort choice for stability and not for delivery",
     which is where the over-read starts.
   * CHANGELOG.md - a new paragraph in the SAFETY-42 entry, ending on the
     operator-facing sentence: a wedged inverter with less energy headroom
     than its sibling can now go unreported at ordinary house loads.

   test_packshare.py part 8's closing check and its "what this file cannot
   see" list repeated the same false clause; both now say the ENVELOPE cannot
   reach a wedged unit and point at part 8b for what the WEIGHTS do to it.

2. THE GRADED CHECK - test_packshare.py part 8b, 6 named checks

   The reviewer's probe, reproduced: real compute(), real plan(), real
   packshare.weights(), real delivery.account(), real delivery.delinquent();
   the only model is the plant (A obeys within one cycle inside its rating,
   B accepts its share and delivers 0 W). Unit B is WEDGED at 15 % against
   its own 10 % floor, so envelope() does not close and account() explains
   nothing - a SAFETY-42 true positive by that card's own definition, which
   a PRECONDITION check asserts before anything is concluded from it.

       load 1500 W, B wedged at 15 %, equal weights  named on 199/200 cycles,
         site target +3000 W, shares a+1500, b+1500, grid +0 W, named=[b]
       load 1500 W, B wedged at 15 %, OPT-09 weights named on   0/200 cycles,
         site target +1630 W, shares a+1505, b+125,  grid -5 W, named=(nobody)
       load 6000 W, B wedged at 15 %, equal weights  named on 199/200 cycles
       load 6000 W, B wedged at 15 %, OPT-09 weights named on 195/200 cycles

       suppression window: equal weights, site target < 1000 W; OPT-09
       weights, site target < 6500 W of a 9600 W site

   THE CHECKS ASSERT THE CURRENT, UNFLATTERING BEHAVIOUR ON PURPOSE - that
   the weighted arm names NOBODY where the equal arm names the wedged unit.
   A check asserting the alarm still fires would fail, and papering over it
   would be worse than the original defect. The 6000 W row is there so the
   part is not pinning "the weighted arm never names anybody": past the
   healthy pack's own rating, _fill()'s last-resort pass hands the wedged
   unit 3000 W and both arms name it. The window is real and it has an edge.

   MUTATION - packshare.weights() keeps its shape and forces every weight to
   1.0 (M11 in part 11's table, which now has 11 rows). RUN on a purged tree
   with python3 -B, not reasoned about:

       load 1500 W, B wedged at 15 %, equal weights  named on 199/200 cycles,
         site target +3000 W, shares a+1500, b+1500, grid +0 W, named=[b]
       load 1500 W, B wedged at 15 %, OPT-09 weights named on 199/200 cycles,
         site target +3000 W, shares a+1500, b+1500, grid +0 W, named=[b]
       load 6000 W, B wedged at 15 %, OPT-09 weights named on 199/200 cycles,
         site target +4000 W, shares a+2000, b+2000, grid +4000 W, named=[b]
       suppression window: equal weights < 1000 W; OPT-09 weights < 1000 W

     FAIL  AND WITH OPT-09's WEIGHTS IT IS NAMED ON NONE OF THE 200 [...]
     FAIL  ...and the arithmetic behind it, stated as a window [...]
     FAIL  AND IT IS NOT THAT THE WEIGHTED ARM NEVER NAMES ANYBODY [...]

   test_packshare.py exits 1. Restored: exits 0.

3. THREE PROC-01 PROSE DEFECTS

   * DECISIONS/OPT-09-soc-aware-weights.md:3 said "Base: release/1.0 @
     464d398". The branch was rebased; git merge-base HEAD 3368231 is
     3368231. Corrected, and it says why the old number was there.
   * Same file:13 cited main.py:2272 for "resolution = resolve(...)".
     git show 3368231:goodwe_controller/app/main.py | grep -n says 2422.
     Corrected. The sibling citation arbiter.py:535 is right and is left.
   * DOCS.md:174 said "Since 0.7.x the split is driven by two separate
     things", which tells an operator the fix already shipped. config.yaml
     is 0.8.0 and the live install is 0.7.0, where the split is 50/50 - this
     card's own premise. Now "from 0.8.0 onwards", with an explicit warning
     that 0.7.0 and earlier are a fixed 50/50.

NOT TOUCHED, deliberately: delinquent()'s absolute threshold (SAFETY-42's
code, its own card), and app/main.py:2699's double-logged scope refusal (N4,
filed separately).

INVERTER B DOES NOT EXIST (expected ~2026-09-12). Every two-unit figure above
is TWO COPIES OF A through a plant modelled in test_packshare.py; B's 4600 W /
20.48 kWh / 10 % floor are from the datasheet and the serial. Nothing here was
measured on hardware, and the added disclaimers say so in each place.

Verified with the real harness per .gitea/workflows/checks.yml
(goodwe-addon-checks:1): COLLECTED 24 files, ALLGREEN. Harness positive
control run first - test_validate.py deliberately broken, harness reported
"FAILED: test_validate.py" and exited 1; restored.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 f8e501393f OPT-09: the weights parameter nothing ever passed, and what it cannot do
`allocator.plan()` has taken a `weights` argument since ALLOC-01 and NOTHING
had ever passed one - main.py called `resolve()` without it and the arbiter
defaulted it to 1.0 per unit - so the site target was split 50/50 regardless
of what either pack could do. Two things now feed it, and they are different
kinds of thing:

  * a `pack` UNIT claim at P_SAFETY that CLOSES a unit's envelope at its own
    `bms_soc_floor` or at 100 % - a PERMISSION, obeyed absolutely, so an empty
    pack is not asked to discharge and its share goes to the sibling;
  * SoC-aware weights by ENERGY headroom in kWh - a PREFERENCE, which
    `_fill()`'s last-resort pass will override the moment the sibling saturates.

Measured (test_packshare.py part 8): at a load one pack cannot cover, the
weighted arm and the shipped arm command the IDENTICAL watts into an empty pack
and deliver the IDENTICAL watts. Only the envelope stops the ask, and what it
buys is not delivery - it is a reported `unmet_w` where the record used to read
impeccable. Weights are a comfort choice for STABILITY and NOT for DELIVERY.

Also: an optional per-entry `capacity_kwh` (schema change, all-or-nothing across
the roster, rule 9 refuses a partial one); per-pack arbitrage sizing, with the
sell side's no-op stated rather than hidden; and a 0 W trade refused by name,
because a 0 W arbitrage claim is a park order that outranks the loop.

SAFETY-42 and this card meet at one hazard from opposite sides - OPT-09 stops
the site ASKING a pack whose SoC says it cannot deliver, SAFETY-42 alarms when a
pack that said it could does not - and its end-to-end fixture moved as a result.
Its finding is unchanged and is now stated on the two quantities its rejected
discriminator actually reads.

Not filed at all at a roster of one: at N=1 every source routes to the site, so
the interval would bound the SITE TARGET, and SAFETY-25's decided Option A
stands untouched on the live install.

⚠️ INVERTER B DOES NOT EXIST. Its 4600 W / 20.48 kWh / 10 % are FROM DATASHEET
AND SERIAL, and `sim/plantsim.py`'s INVERTER_B is inverter A copied
(`measured=False`), so every two-inverter figure here is arithmetic or two
copies of A. No hardware was touched.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 fdaf3fb54f UX-02: the validator's refusals, next to the field, before the save
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 6m17s
The Configuration tab can only render types and ranges. `validate.py`'s most
useful refusals are CROSS-FIELD - two inverters naming one `setpoint_entity`, a
`maintenance_charge_w` above `max_w`, a flat `setpoint_entity` left set beside a
declared roster - and the Supervisor's UI has no way to express a rule spanning
two keys. Today the operator meets those as exit 78 in a log, after saving and
restarting. This puts them on the screen beside the field they name, before
anything is written.

WHAT IT ADDS
  app/configui.py     the field model, built from `GET /addons/self/info`'s own
                      `schema` + `translations`. No option key, no label, no
                      rule of its own. UX-01's `Group · ` label prefix becomes a
                      real section heading, in whichever language resolved.
  app/selfconfig.py   the Supervisor conversation and the write gate.
  app/config_page.py  the page. Its longest function decides which HTML input a
                      type deserves; it contains no rule.
  app/web.py          five routes. Still the only file a reviewer has to read to
                      answer "does anything here reach the inverter".

THE FOUR THINGS THAT COULD HURT SOMEBODY, AND HOW EACH IS HELD
  1. A blob the SHIPPED validator refuses is never written - not warned about,
     not written. An invalid blob plus a restart is exit 78, and the panel is
     gone with the add-on that serves it.
  2. A blob that moved underneath is refused, not clobbered. Read hands out a
     sha256 of the canonical blob, save hands it back, and the stored blob is
     re-read IMMEDIATELY BEFORE the write. This is SAFETY-28's discipline
     applied to configuration - "a blob reaches the Supervisor only if it was
     derived from the blob stored right now" - with the honest weakening stated
     in the decision record: a second writer is DETECTED, not made
     inexpressible.
  3. Every message is the validator's own, byte for byte. test_selfconfig.py
     part 6 inserts ONE new rule into a COPY of validate.py, hashes every file
     under app/ to show validate.py is the only one that differs, and serves the
     real /config/validate route out of that copy in a subprocess. The new
     sentence arrives, filed under the key it names.
  4. Nothing on the surface commands an inverter or clears a latch. Saving does
     not restart: applying costs a control interruption - the wind-down commands
     0 W on every inverter - so that is a separate, confirmed button that says
     so first.

MEASURED, NOT CITED (tools/supervisor_selfapi_probe.py, run against
Supervisor 2026.08.0's own code; it contacts nothing)
  - the three self-paths are permitted, and `/addons/self/info` is admitted by
    the `default` role too while `options` and `restart` rest on the bypass
    ALONE. The probe's first draft claimed the role admitted none of the three
    and went red.
  - `/addons/self/options/validate` is NOT reachable from inside an add-on, so
    the only validator this panel can call is ours - which is the one with the
    cross-field rules.
  - a POST that omits a key does not preserve it: the key reverts to
    config.yaml's default. Hence whole-blob read-modify-write.
  - the Configuration tab CAN be removed, and doing so drops 0-of-71 options
    through and takes the add-on down. The card said it could not be; it stays
    by decision, which is a better reason.

DOES NOT TOUCH config.yaml, main.py or any control path. UX-01 is a dependency,
not something this supersedes: its translations are where every label,
description and section heading on this page comes from, and the Configuration
tab is still the recovery surface. DECISIONS/UX-02-two-config-surfaces.md
records which surface is authoritative (neither: the stored blob is) and what
the second surface costs.

Also corrects a stale "70 options" in three prose spots to the 71 the probe
counts - config.yaml grew a key in SAFETY-42 and the sentences did not follow.

---

⚠️ REBASED ONTO release/1.0 @ 3368231, AND HISTORY DELIBERATELY FLATTENED.
The original branch carried `653874d` - an ORPHANED first attempt at PKG-07
whose commit message justified the version bump with a claim that was FALSE
(that `slew_w: 0` used to mean "no limit"; the schema was `int(50,5000)` from
the repo's first commit, so 0 was never legal). That commit's CONTENT was
superseded when release/1.0 was merged in, and the merge resolved correctly -
one 0.8.0 section, no fabricated text. But the retracted claim would have
entered release/1.0's history as a commit message with no retraction attached
to it, where PKG-07's own merged commit is the thing that retracts it.

So the branch is replayed as a single commit on top of the corrected PKG-07
rather than merged with the bad one trailing behind. The tree is byte-identical
to the reviewed branch tip; only the ancestry changed.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 706e625d99 SAFETY-42: a unit that stops delivering, and the discriminator the card asked for does not exist
A unit standing at a non-zero share and producing nothing is seen by NOTHING.
SAFETY-30's per-unit sign gate needs OPPOSITION on both sides of 250 W and a
unit at 0 W is not opposing, it is ABSENT. The site sum still agrees with the
meter in direction. Circulating power is exactly zero when one unit does
nothing. The only trace left is `reason == "saturated-freeze"`, which
clamp.py:93-96 documents as the alarm an operator learns to ignore. It is
HW-01's shape, which ran 6 h 25 m with all three layers spectators.

⚠️ THE CARD'S OWN DISCRIMINATOR WAS BUILT FIRST AND FALSIFIED, AND THAT IS THE
MAIN CONTENT. SAFETY-42 asks for "saturation persisting past N while
|grid error| > X, both derived". Run on the two-master rig it fails in BOTH
directions, and no (N, X) fixes either:

  FALSE POSITIVE  `plantsim.Plant.limit()` returns 0 W for a discharge command
      into a pack at its own floor, and a wedged unit produces 0 W too. Load
      2000 W, equal weights, 2000 W per-unit cap, 120 cycles: THE TWO ARMS ARE
      IDENTICAL ON ALL 120 in grid, site target, every share and every measured
      watt. Both saturated-freeze on 116 of them, both hold |grid error| over
      300 W on all 120 and settle at 1200 W, both read circulating 0.0 W. The
      predicate's inputs do not differ, so no threshold on them can differ. And
      "a cold pack at its floor must not alarm" is the card's own AC 2.

  FALSE NEGATIVE  the standing grid error is what a HEALTHY SIBLING ERASES.
      Load 800 W, same config, B wedged: over the last 30 of 200 cycles the loop
      is frozen on 30 of 30 while the worst |grid error| is 30 W, with B standing
      at +770 W and delivering 0 W. Any X above 30 W is silent for the whole run
      on the exact fault the card describes.

WHAT REPLACES IT. Per unit, for a discharge share, `share - measured`; readable
because of a reduction that only exists at N>=2:

    a unit is named while it is short by more than `saturation_w` with NO
    ACCOUNT for it, and the units in that state are a PROPER SUBSET of the units
    asked to discharge.

THE ACCOUNT keeps the cold pack out and is the only thing that can: the two
cases are identical in the power domain, so the discriminator has to be a
non-power fact, and there is exactly one - the pack's own SoC against its own
`bms_soc_floor`, asked through `peakguard.discharge_permitted()` rather than
transcribed. ⚠️ `bms_soc_floor` ALONE, not `pack_floor_pct()`'s conjunction with
`peak_soc_floor`: that floor bounds a money-saving discharge only and using it
would explain away a wedged unit anywhere between the two.

THE PROPER SUBSET keeps a whole-site cause out - a derate this add-on cannot see
hits every unit; one box that stopped listening does not - and it is what makes
this INERT AT N=1, by algebra rather than by a roster guard.

IT REPORTS. IT DOES NOT ACT, and the strongest argument is for acting. Dropping
the wedged unit from `live` genuinely recovers a site the shipped path does not:
at load 1500 W, kept in the split the site settles at 800 W with a 700 W error
and NEVER comes inside 100 W in 150 cycles (the freeze pins the target, so the
sibling's SHARE never grows); dropped, it delivers 1500 W from cycle 14. What
refuses it is that the only re-allocation this add-on can express is
all-or-nothing: a unit derated to 50 % is short by more than saturation_w with
nothing to explain it, so this detector names it too, and at load 3000 W
dropping it leaves the site delivering 2000 W against 2400 W kept - 400 W WORSE.
A partial re-allocation is what would make acting safe and the allocator cannot
express it. That is a card.

control.py is NOT MODIFIED. The freeze shapes the loop; this reports on it.

NUMBERS, MEASURED. The watts side is `Tuning.saturation_w`, read at runtime, so
there is no fourth CFG-03 copy and it cannot drift from the number the control
law itself calls "not following". `delivery_hold_s: 185` comes off 2640
closed-loop two-inverter runs in which nothing is faulty (6 gains x 5 slews over
the whole schema range, across load reversals, a flapping load and ASYMMETRIC
SPLITS - a family SAFETY-30's campaign did not have and the one that dominates
here) plus 1890 runs at a roster of ONE as the control:

    threshold   reversals   flapping   weighted   N=1 control
     * 500 W      20.0 s      0.0 s      30.0 s      0.0 s

The N=1 column is 0.0 s at EVERY threshold in all 1890 runs, and the flapping
column - the family that defeated SAFETY-30's site window - is zero too, because
a common stimulus makes both units short at once and the subset stops being
proper. ⚠️ The curve is NOT monotone (55.0 s at 250 W against 40.0 s at 100 W):
lowering the threshold can turn a proper subset into the whole roster and BREAK
the run.

⚠️ THE MARGIN IS MEASURED, NOT FELT, BECAUSE INVERTER B DOES NOT PHYSICALLY
EXIST. `plantsim.INVERTER_B` is A COPIED, `measured=False`, so every two-inverter
figure above is two copies of A. Sweeping a different second unit: the worst
legitimate episode is insensitive to B's RAMP (30.0 s at half A's) and scales
with its LAG - 45.0 s at twice A's measured 10 s, 90.0 s at four times it.
185 s is 6.2x the measured worst, 2.06x the four-times-slower case, 6.2x
LINK_STALE_S and 4.9x inside the 900 s quarter. Deliberately not 180, which is
SAFETY-02's site hold.

SAFETY-34. `unit/<name>/delivery_tripped` in the store, one notification id per
unit, re-raised on the first cycle of every process, cleared by the Start press.
No flat mirror: a rollback lands on a version that drives one actuator, where
this check is inert.

⚠️ SCHEMA CHANGE - `delivery_hold_s` joins options: and schema:, so this needs a
version bump before it ships. Additive and defaulted, so an existing options blob
stays valid.

STATED GAPS: charge shares are not graded (no configured charge ceiling exists,
so a constant-voltage taper cannot be explained and arming it would fire on every
maintenance charge); every unit wedged at once is not caught (the subset is not
proper and no instrument here separates that from a plant that cannot).

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 f156fadac0 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

adminandClaude Opus 5 6c4565659b 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 @ c8dcb38, at the live install's shape (max_w 5000,
slew_w 400, target_grid_w -10), with another writer holding the pack at +700 W.
The route is not the obvious one: entering from an export, the slew limit moves
the command off zero before the counter reaches 3. It is entered from the
DEADBAND - a site resting at its target counts saturated cycles while nothing is
wrong - and 0 W is then a fixed point: a 2 kW export arriving afterwards leaves
the command at exactly 0.0 W on every subsequent cycle.

And prev_w == 0 is not where it stops. The same tuning pins at -800 W against
its own integrator standing at -2388 W, with the same absence of an exit. So the
change is written against the output freeze, not against a special case of it.

THE DECISION IS WHICH FREEZES GET AN EXIT, NOT HOW LONG THE BLOCK LASTS.

  - A divergence a LIMIT could have produced - the inverter doing less than the
    command, in the command's own direction - clears itself, because the command
    is pinned at something the inverter can reach. No exit. release/1.0
    unchanged, and asserted so: a curtailed inverter is never released over 30
    cycles.
  - A divergence a limit could NOT have produced - overshooting the command, or
    the opposite sign - cannot clear itself, because clearing it needs the
    inverter to track OUR command. That one releases.

unasked_power() is that predicate and it is physical, not statistical: a limit
can only make the inverter do less, in the command's own direction, so
everything a limit can produce lies in the interval spanned by 0 and prev_w
widened by saturation_w. At prev_w == 0 it IS the saturation test, which is
exactly why the zero case is the one that strands.

The bound is not a new number. SETTLE_CYCLES = ceil(PLANT_SETTLE_S /
LOOP_TICK_S) = 9, SAFETY-39's two measured constants and the reciprocal of
SLEW_RAIL_FRAC: a divergence still standing after the plant's own settling time
is not this plant catching up. _SAT_COUNT_CAP is written as SETTLE_CYCLES + 1;
its value is unchanged at 10.

RELEASING THE OUTPUT FREEZE DOES NOT UNFREEZE THE LOOP, which is what makes this
bounded. The integrator freeze is untouched, so a released cycle can only move
the command toward an accumulator that stopped accumulating, by at most one slew
step, and never past it - swept over 107 625 released states. On the run above
the command starts on the ninth saturated cycle and settles at -1190 W against a
frozen integrator of -1194 W, not at the 5000 W rail.

Graded against a transcription of release/1.0 over the 3024-case sweep, which
was NOT taught the new rule: 2592 cases bit-identical, 432 releases, and 27 of
those change the command - every one a charge from prev_w == 0 that release/1.0
refused to start.

SAFETY-04's deliberate assertion is kept rather than inverted: its fixture sits
below the bound, so it still asserts the block, and the release is asserted
beside it on the other side of the bound.

Coverage audit re-measured, same mutation form, __pycache__ purged: output
freeze 2 -> 11 (2 reproduced on a pristine c8dcb38 first), the exit 4,
unasked_power 6.

saturation_cycles at 9 or 10 removes the block entirely, because the freeze
cannot engage before its own exit is due. Not refused at startup; asserted in
the tests and written in DOCS.md.

Nothing was measured on two inverters: inverter B does not physically exist
(NOTES.md §1.1b) and sim/plantsim.py:216 INVERTER_B is INVERTER_A copied with
measured=False. The N=2 escalation is stated from the code (actual_w is
site_batt_w, the SUM) and is labelled as such.

22/22 test files pass in goodwe-addon-ci, mounted :ro, bytecode purged first.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 6864109a01 SAFETY-37: a stale reading is None, and arrival cannot be what says so
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 5m34s
The architect pass made SAFETY-37, TEL-06 and TEL-08 one systemic problem -
"a stale reading holds its last value and reads healthy" - and this builds the
single policy. Both consumers the card names are gated by one change, and
neither consumer needed a line: `SignWatchdog.evaluate` already CLEARS its
window on a None measurement and `circulating_w` already returns None for a
roster with a missing term. Neither could ever receive one. The gate is the
piece that was missing BETWEEN the shipped read and the shipped checks.

⚠️ ONE CRITERION IN THE CARD COULD NOT BE IMPLEMENTED AS WRITTEN, AND SAYING SO
IS THE MAIN CONTENT. The card says "only arrival separates them". At this layer
arrival cannot: `read_inputs()` polls Home Assistant's state cache about once a
second and HA answers 200 with a number whether or not the publisher behind the
entity is alive, so both members of the pair arrive identically for ever.
test_freshness.py part 1a BUILDS the arrival-age gate the card asks for and
grades it failing - the age is 0.0 s at every instant of both runs, a threshold
that can never fire, which is TEL-06's own defect one layer up. The half of the
rule that survives is honoured absolutely: nothing here reads a Home Assistant
timestamp, and the check asserts the module contains no `last_updated`.

So the criterion became: a reading is stale when it has not moved through a
change it was OBLIGED to follow.

    STALE  <=>  unchanged >= 35 s
                AND |standing| >= 250 W
                AND |standing - standing when the reading last changed| >= 250 W

Latched until a different value arrives. `Inverter.batt` becomes None - never a
held number - which is a missing input, which §11.1 rule 1 answers with 0 W.

WHY A CONJUNCTION AND NOT A THRESHOLD, MEASURED 2026-09-06. Replaying the
committed 30-day capture of this house's own 1 W power entity (485,841 samples
out of HA's recorder, where a row exists only on a CHANGE, so the gap between
rows IS the unchanged duration every consumer saw): the longest legitimate
unchanged run is 263.2 s, held at -899.0 W. A false-positive-free threshold
would have to exceed that, and 263 s is 3.5x too slow for a consumer that trips
at 75 s. There is no admissible threshold. Every one of those long runs is
under an UNMOVING load, which is what the travel term keys on.

THE BOUND, derived at both ends and graded against the shipped config.yaml.
Floor 17.0 s = 6.0 plant settle (NOTES §5.9, measured 2026-08-22) + 10.0
ESPHome publish (firmware/goodwe-master.yaml:181) + 1.0 read period
(run_control's asyncio.sleep(1)). Ceiling 75.0 s = min(circulation_hold_s 75,
unit_sign_disagree_s 85). Band [34.0, 37.5]; 35 is a CHOICE inside a DERIVED
band and the check says so - the first draft claimed the band held one integer
and went red on its own first run. MOVE_W is the LARGEST admissible value,
unit_sign_disagree_w, because below it the consumer cannot speak at all.

SoC is STATED, NOT WIRED, and BOUNDS carries it with wired=False and the reason.
Its obligation term is energy through the pack, not command travel - a rested
pack holds a percent for hours under a 0 W command - and K needs a usable
capacity nobody has measured. That is TEL-08's; the record says so.

⚠️ BEHAVIOUR CHANGES AT THE SHIPPED ROSTER OF ONE, and it is named rather than
hidden: a FROZEN register now stops the site where it used to read as a healthy
measurement for ever. That is HW-01, which was a one-inverter site. A healthy
install is unchanged, asserted over sixty reads of a dithering register under a
reversing command. A false verdict fails toward 0 W behind the existing
stale_input_s hold and clears itself on the register's next move.

⚠️ BOTH UNITS IN EVERY TWO-INVERTER FIXTURE ARE INVERTER A with different
numbers passed in; inverter B does not physically exist (~2026-09-12).

MUTATION: 16 mutations against a purged, :ro, python3 -B tree, fingerprinted
before and after every revert. One survivor, and it is the finding - dropping
the magnitude term left every check green because no fixture separated "the
command travelled 250 W" from "the command ended up above 250 W". Closed, and
recorded as MUTATION.md habit 17. A second process defect is habit 18: a
mutation run that timed out between the edit and the revert left the module
mutated on disk and nothing announced it.

adminandClaude Opus 5 5d7e275df4 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.

adminandClaude Opus 5 26c5ee8adc TEL-07: a second MQTT device for inverter B, and A keeps the one it has
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 4m58s
MQTT discovery announced ONE device and hung every entity off one unique_id
prefix, so at two inverters B's per-unit telemetry had nowhere to go. It has
somewhere now, and not one entity that already exists moved.

⚠️ THE ASYMMETRY IS DELIBERATE. The first roster entry's per-unit rows are
announced on THE DEVICE IT ALREADY HAS; every later entry gets its own device,
via_device the controller. "One device per inverter" is tidier and is the change
that renames every entity on the live install - and because HA keeps the id it
composed at FIRST discovery, a rename produces a NEW entity beside a DEAD one:
the history stays behind and every dashboard, template and automation naming it
goes on pointing at a sensor that quietly stopped updating, including the three
live watchdog automations. The composed ids come out symmetric anyway
(sensor.goodwe_inverter_a_battery_power / ..._inverter_b_...), so the tidy
design's only real benefit is bought here without its cost.

  * four per-unit rows - setpoint, battery power, SoC, SAFETY-02 sign latch -
    announced only from a roster of two. At N=1 nothing is announced and
    nothing is published: no second device, no renamed entity, no added topic.
  * grid and p1_sample_age_s stay SITE-scoped and are announced ONCE, at every
    roster length 1-6. One P1, one grid connection, and p1_sample_age_s is a
    watchdog input - a second copy is a second answer to "is the meter fresh?".
  * inverter.roster_names() is the one answer to what the units are called,
    read by build_roster() and by the publisher, which must know the roster
    before a Controller exists because announcing happens on the CONNACK.
  * DECISIONS/TEL-07-second-mqtt-device.md records the two designs side by side.

VERIFIED BY DIFFING THE ANNOUNCED PAYLOADS, not by reading the code. The
release/1.0 baseline in test_mqtt.py was generated by running that commit's
module, not transcribed. Roster of one: 9 topics, 0 missing, 0 changed, 0 added.
Roster of two: 0 missing, 0 changed, 8 added.

MEASURED, NOT ASSERTED. Sixteen mutations through tools/mutation_run.sh; twelve
are in the file as a running table, each named with the property it breaks.
Three of those properties exist because the table found their ABSENCE - dropping
the unit from the state topic, moving `grid` into the per-unit set, and
`units=()` in main()'s publisher call were all GREEN on the first run, as was a
roster fallback naming two nameless entries `inverter-a`. Part 9 enumerates what
the file still cannot see, with sizes.

⚠️ INVERTER B DOES NOT PHYSICALLY EXIST (~2026-09-12). Every roster of two here
is SIMULATED, from the datasheet and serial in NOTES.md §1.1b. Nothing about B
has been measured and no entity described here has been seen on a broker.

Claude Opus 5 fef6ef20a4 UX-01: translate the add-on config, and order it by task
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 5m1s
The add-on had NO translations/ directory, so Home Assistant fell back to
rendering the raw option KEYS. An operator opening Configuration read
`unit_sign_disagree_w`, `saturation_cycles`, `integrator_max_w` - seventy of
them, in file order, with no description and no way to tell a constant derived
from 1890 closed-loop test runs from their own inverter's rating.

⚠️ PRESENTATION ONLY. Not one default, not one schema range and not one line of
behaviour moved. The 175 non-comment lines of config.yaml are byte-identical to
release/1.0's, reordered; the only comment lines that changed are the group
banners and five sentences whose "above"/"below" the reorder made false.

* translations/en.yaml and translations/nl.yaml: a name and a description for
  all 70 options and all 7 per-entry keys of the `inverters:` repeatable
  section. The Dutch is written for a Flemish homeowner - afname/injectie,
  kwartierpiek, capaciteitstarief - not transliterated from the English.
* ⭐ Every derived constant says WHERE IT CAME FROM and whether to touch it.
  `unit_sign_disagree_s` cites its 1890 closed-loop runs (SAFETY-30);
  `circulation_w` its 924 runs and the measured 400 W knee (SAFETY-31);
  `meter_freeze_s` its 2399 s capture (SAFETY-18); `bms_soc_floor` register
  0x0560. The two numbers that are the operator's - max_w and peak_cap_w - say
  "THIS IS YOUR NUMBER". `cycle_cost_threshold_eur`, which is neither, says it
  is an open product question (OPT-08).
* config.yaml reordered into task order in BOTH halves, comments carried with
  their keys: hardware -> meter -> ratings and limits -> tariff -> maintenance
  -> safety -> advanced.
  ⚠️ test_inverter.py:1788's trap is PRESERVED: the nested per-entry `max_w:`
  still precedes the flat one under `schema:`, and `inverters: []` still ships
  in the `options:` half. Moving the nested block below the flat one is a 1-byte
  edit; it was run and goes red in test_inverter.py and test_translations.py.
* tools/supervisor_shape_probe.py section F MEASURES the result against
  ghcr.io/home-assistant/amd64-hassio-supervisor:2026.08.0 - Supervisor's own
  _read_app_translations(), its own UiOptions, and the frontend's label
  resolution transcribed from the shipped bundle - and prints every rendered row
  in both languages. `all cases passed`, exit 0.
* ⚠️ ONE MEASURED NEGATIVE RESULT, NOT GLOSSED: the per-entry keys inside the
  `inverters:` section still render RAW on frontend 20250925.1, because a
  list-of-objects goes to ha-selector-object and the converter sets no `label`
  and no `translation_key`. The `fields:` translations are shipped and validated
  - that is Supervisor's own shape for this - but this card does not claim they
  reach the screen. The `inverters` label and description do.
* test_translations.py: a translation naming a non-existent option, or an option
  with no translation, fails CI - both directions, both languages, top level and
  per entry. Mutation-tested BOTH WAYS: eleven in-process mutations each
  required to NAME the key they broke, plus a negative control; six more run on
  disk through the purge-and-re-read protocol. Two of the eleven are the ones
  that cost the WHOLE FILE rather than one label - an unrecognised top-level
  block, and a `network:` value that is not a string. Supervisor drops a file
  that fails SCHEMA_APP_TRANSLATIONS with only a log warning, so those silently
  return the entire tab to raw keys; neither is reachable through the
  `configuration:` coverage, which is why they were hunted for and closed.
* tools/translations_lint.py is the hand parser CI needs (no PyYAML in the
  add-on image) and the probe grades it, key by key and string by string,
  against Supervisor's own loader. It is strict and RAISES rather than skipping;
  nine malformed shapes prove it.

Full 20-file suite green (19 existing + test_translations.py).

adminandClaude Opus 5 f9e7fbf86d SAFETY-32: bms_soc_floor per pack, rule 8 per unit
`bms_soc_floor` describes A BATTERY, not a site. At two packs of different
models the cut-outs differ, and one number for both graded the shallower pack
against the deeper one's BMS - so a site with cut-outs of 10 % and 30 % under
`peak_soc_floor: 20` STARTED, and the guard would command a forced discharge
that pack B's BMS, not the operator's floor, is the thing that stops. That is
rule 8's own failure mode, reached through rule 8.

Scoped to the card's third bullet, per its PM PROOFREAD: the aggregate
anti-windup (DEV-02) and per-instance `achievable_w` (CFG-04) were verified as
already shipped and are untouched.

* config.yaml: `bms_soc_floor: int(0,50)` REQUIRED per `inverters:` entry.
  Nothing is inherited; the flat key stays the single-inverter shape's own
  cut-out. A per-entry DEFAULT was declined - a default is one number for every
  pack, which is this card's defect - and the decision is recorded.
* inverter.py: `Inverter.bms_soc_floor`; an entry that states none gets None,
  not a borrowed number and not 0.0 (the most permissive value the key has).
* peakguard.py: `Pack`, `pack_floor_pct()`, `pack_permissions()`,
  `binding_soc_floor()`. `discharge_permitted()` is unchanged and is still the
  one place the question is answered.
* validate.py: `unit_bms_floors_indexed()` carries the ROSTER index; rule 8
  grades EVERY unit and NAMES the one it refuses. Graded with the offender
  SECOND and with the same two numbers in the other order.
* main.py: `Controller.packs`; `decide(soc_floor=...)` is the per-pack
  reduction of the same option; the floor-limited notification names the pack
  that stopped the site. `pack_floor_soc` - the emptiest pack, and its
  None-on-missing behaviour - is untouched.
* tools/supervisor_shape_probe.py: RE-RUN and repaired. The required key broke
  §C and left §D printing PASS on a refusal about a different key. §D is now an
  isolated counterfactual over an accepted merged baseline, one key varied,
  asserting the key name. `all cases passed` on 2026.08.0.

Stated rather than hidden: under any config rule 8 accepts the per-pack FLOOR
reduces to `peak_soc_floor` for every pack. The reduction is written for
`unit_caps_indexed()`'s reason and graded on both sides - 1775 rule-8-valid
pairs answer the option, the pair rule 8 refuses answers the cut-out.
`peak_soc_floor` is still one number for the site, so the "deeper pack
needlessly withheld" half is filed as an open question, not closed.

Full 19-file suite green. Twelve source mutations through
tools/mutation_run.sh: eleven red, one argued survivor. The battery also found
`_flat_bms_floor()` defaulting in two places, each covering for the other.

No measurement of inverter B appears anywhere: it does not exist yet. Every
second-pack figure is simulated and labelled.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 a9993aeda2 SPIKE-04a: inverter B is 4600 W FROM ITS DATASHEET, and the copies are pinned
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 4m51s
The desk half of SPIKE-04. No control behaviour changes; this is documentation
and the check that stops it drifting again.

Three places stated inverter B's rating - config.yaml's commented roster
example, DOCS.md's, and tools/supervisor_shape_probe.py's "a blob an operator
would POST" - and all three said 3000 W, a number nobody had measured or read
off anything. The owner supplied B's model and serial on 2026-09-04: a GoodWe
GW5048D-ES, serial `55048ESU22AW0992`, max charging and discharging power
4600 W. Serial characters 6-8 are `ESU`, platform 105 / AA55, so SPIKE-01 does
not gate this site. All three copies now read 4600.

⚠️ 4600 W IS FROM A DATASHEET AND IS NOT A MEASUREMENT, and the one ambiguity
is recorded rather than guessed. The datasheet prints it under BATTERY INPUT
DATA, so it is probably DC, while max_w is graded against 0x0518 - the
inverter's own AC power. If it is DC the AC ceiling is nearer 4324 W. Neither
reading is written in as fact; SAFETY-20's min(max_w, dev_max) already bounds
it correctly under either, once dev_max is read off the unit, so `max_w: 4600`
is what an operator should configure today. goodwe/NOTES.md §1.1b carries the
full record with the date and the method on every figure.

A NEW CHECK, BECAUSE A DOCUMENTATION FIX WITHOUT ONE DRIFTS AGAIN.
test_validate.py now pins all three documented rosters: findable, in agreement,
and equal to 4600 - with an explicit len(...) == 3 guard so that a regex which
stopped matching cannot leave "they all agree" green on the two sites still
read. It also grades the PROVENANCE beside the number (the datasheet, the
0x0518 it is graded against, and the 4324 W the DC reading would make it)
WITHIN 2500 characters of the roster rather than file-wide.

⚠️ The first version of that provenance check searched whole files and was
ALREADY VACUOUS on two of them: 0x0518 appeared once in config.yaml and once in
DOCS.md before this card, for unrelated reasons, so `"0x0518" in src` was green
no matter what happened next to B's rating. That is a check whose data cannot
reach the failure it names, in the file that exists to complain about them. It
is fixed, and the window is what fixes it - deleting the caveat beside the
number now goes red even where the same token survives elsewhere in the file.
The windowed version immediately found that the DOCS.md caveat did not name
0x0518 at all; DOCS.md now says it.

Four mutations, bytecode purged and counted at 0 before and after each, all
RED (two of them 0-byte deltas that change a printed answer):
  M1  probe's operator blob 4600 -> 3000        0 B   RED (value + agreement)
  M2  DOCS.md's DC/AC caveat deleted         -157 B   RED (provenance)
  M3  config.yaml alone 4600 -> 4324            0 B   RED (agreement)
  M4  probe entity renamed, regex finds nothing       RED (the vacuity guard)
Restored, green again. The probe itself was re-run against Supervisor
2026.08.0's own AppOptions validator with the 4600: all cases passed, exit 0.

⚠️ THE TEST FIXTURES KEEP 3000 W ON PURPOSE AND NOW SAY WHY AT THE LINE.
test_inverter.py, test_maintenance.py, test_peakguard.py and test_watchdog.py
build a second inverter at 3000 W against A's 5000 W. The only property those
checks consume is that B's number is unmistakably not A's, and the real pair is
a 400 W gap - narrower than slew_w, inside the range where an off-by-one-unit
bug and ordinary control arithmetic produce indistinguishable numbers.
Collapsing them onto the real values would buy realism those checks do not use
and cost them their separating power, which is exactly what test_peakguard.py's
own §10g PRECONDITION exists to prevent. Their comments no longer call 3000 W a
hypothesis about B's rating; they call it illustrative, and not a placeholder
either - the placeholder era ended on 2026-09-04.

Also recorded in the changelog for the cards that own them: 94 % battery-to-AC
=> ~88 % round trip => ~360 W burned continuously to circulate 3 kW, which is
the number SAFETY-31 argues its threshold from without having one; < 13 W night
self-consumption per unit, which nothing accounts for; and the A/B asymmetry in
opposite directions (~33 % more energy, ~8 % less power), which means MAINT-05's
12 h drain timeout was derived on A and should be re-checked against B.

⚠️ Honest survivors:
- goodwe/NOTES.md §1.1b, where all of this is actually recorded, is graded by
  nothing here. Rewriting its 16 occurrences of 4600 to 3000 and turning every
  FROM DATASHEET label into MEASURED ON THE UNIT leaves all 19 files GREEN.
  This CI cannot fetch admin/goodwe - private, and GITHUB_TOKEN is minted for
  this repository only, as .gitea/workflows/checks.yml already states - so the
  cross-repo check is not buildable here.
- No check can see whether 4600 is the RIGHT number. Everything above pins a
  datasheet reading against itself. Only the bench half of SPIKE-04 can say
  whether the unit agrees, and the DC-vs-AC ambiguity is the live example.
- The constant is still named B_RATING_HYPOTHESIS in four test files, which
  reads as a hypothesis about B's rating when it is now an illustrative
  fixture. It is left alone deliberately: renaming ~20 sites across
  test_peakguard.py and test_inverter.py would collide hard with the open
  SAFETY-32 pull request, which rewrites 1255 lines of the first. The comment
  directly above each definition says what the value is and is not.

Suite: 19/19 green in goodwe-addon-ci, mounted :ro, bytecode purged and
verified 0 before and after.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 ae21b71824 Merge release/1.0 into SAFETY-30
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 4m39s
CFG-04 (#45) merged first and moved the base. Two conflicts, both resolved
as the union of the two sides:

- app/main.py: an import-block collision. CFG-04 added validate_unit_ranges
  to the .validate import; SAFETY-30 added AGAINST_METER, AGAINST_OWN_POWER,
  SIGN_OPTION_DEFAULTS and SignWatchdog to the .watchdog import. Neither
  side dropped anything, so the resolution keeps both lists whole.
- CHANGELOG.md: two adjacent new entries under ## Unreleased. Both kept.

Both sides also independently rewrote large parts of test_peakguard.py
(60 and 47 insertions against the merge base) and git merged them
textually, so the full suite was run on the MERGE RESULT rather than
inferred from the two parents: 19 passed, 0 failed, twice.

One caveat recorded rather than hidden: test_peakguard.py failed once
during the first sequential full-suite run and then passed 10/10 in
isolation and in two further full runs on this same tree. It passes on
both parents too, so this is the pre-existing flakiness CFG-04 already
disclosed, not a merge defect - it is timing- or load-sensitive. It sits
on the required CI context and can therefore block an unrelated merge at
random, which wants a card of its own.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 22c016fadd CFG-04 fix round: the probe now measures the key it is cited for
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 4m33s
Review blocked this on ONE finding, and it was in the EVIDENCE, not the code.
The design and the shipped behaviour are unchanged.

THE INSTRUMENT DID NOT MEASURE WHAT FOUR DOCUMENTS SAID IT MEASURED

tools/supervisor_shape_probe.py section B validated the RECONSTRUCTED LIVE
options blob - which is missing many required keys that have nothing to do with
this card. Its refusal therefore named whichever of THOSE the validator reached
first: the committed transcript recorded `meter_freeze_s`, the reviewer's run
printed `p1_phase_export_entities`, and a run today printed `sign_disagree_w`.
The string those documents quoted - `Missing option 'inverters' in root` - was
never produced by the instrument.

And section B asserted a bare `not ok`. Any refusal at all satisfied it, so
deleting `inverters: []` from config.yaml left it printing PASS: the probe could
not detect the one regression it is the committed evidence for.

THE UNDERLYING CLAIM IS TRUE AND IS NOW MEASURED PROPERLY

Section B is an ISOLATED COUNTERFACTUAL now: the full shipped `options:` block
(expect accept), and the SAME block with `inverters` removed and nothing else
varying (expect refusal). One key differs, so the refusal has nowhere else to
come from - and the assertion is on the KEY NAME IN THE REFUSAL STRING, so the
line goes red if the refusal is ever about a different key. The probe also exits
non-zero when any case fails; without that a transcript is only evidence to
someone who reads it.

The old live-blob case survives as section B2, relabelled for what it is: an
incomplete reconstruction whose RAW half is refused for unrelated missing keys,
kept because its MERGED half genuinely demonstrates what App.options is.

VERIFIED BY BREAKING IT, WHICH IS THE WHOLE POINT

`inverters: []` deleted from config.yaml, probe re-run against
ghcr.io/home-assistant/amd64-hassio-supervisor:2026.08.0:

  == B. THE LOAD-BEARING ONE: an options blob with no `inverters` key ==
    FAIL  the shipped `options:` block validates AS IT STANDS - ...
          Missing option 'inverters' in root in GoodWe RS485 Controller
  ...
  == 2 CASE(S) FAILED ==

exit 1. Key restored, same image, same command: `== all cases passed ==`, exit
0. The transcript in DECISIONS is that restored run, re-run today, not the old
one.

THE FOUR MIS-CITATIONS

DECISIONS/CFG-04-inverter-roster.md section 4's "section B shows both halves"
sentence and its line-103 transcript; CHANGELOG.md; test_inverter.py's part-9
comment and its part-12 mutation row; and the PR description. All now attribute
the string to section B and say plainly what section B2 does not show. The
part-12 row additionally records that the probe was blind to that mutation until
review, because a mutation table that lists a defeat nothing catches is the
failure this repository keeps finding.

MUTATION.md gains it as the sixth instance of "the check's data cannot reach the
failure it names" - the first found OUTSIDE the suite, in a committed evidence
artifact, because nothing in that document had ever been pointed at tools/. Three
habits with it: assert on the CONTENT of a refusal rather than that one happened;
vary ONE thing, from an ACCEPTED baseline; and treat a committed transcript as a
check subject to the mutation battery.

TWO NON-BLOCKING FINDINGS, ALSO FIXED

  validate.py rules 5 and 6 NAMED THE WRONG INVERTER. `unit_caps()` SKIPS an
  entry with no usable `max_w`, so caps position i stops being roster position i
  the moment one entry is malformed - and rule 5 fed `caps.index(weakest)` to
  `_unit_label()`, which indexes the roster, while rule 6 paired `caps[0]` with a
  hard-wired `_unit_label(opts, 0)`. Right number, another inverter's name: an
  operator sent to the wrong device by the message that exists to stop that. New
  `unit_caps_indexed()` carries the roster index with the cap. It is latent -
  rule 9(d) refuses such a config in the same pass - but that was a property of
  today's rule ordering, not of the code, and validate_startup_config() is also
  sim/inject.py's entry point. Part 10 gains a check that asserts the fixture
  really does desynchronise the two lists, then that both messages name the right
  unit, then the counterfactual: the OLD expressions, on that same config, still
  evaluate to the wrong names.

  DOCS.md called a downgrade "safe". True of the SCHEMA - the older schema drops
  the key with a warning - and incomplete about the ADD-ON: rule 9(e) requires the
  flat `setpoint_entity` be cleared when a roster is declared, so a config that
  downgrades cleanly is by construction one whose flat actuator is blank, and the
  older version has nothing to write to. Confirmed by running release/1.0's own
  validate_startup_config() on that blob: one refusal, naming setpoint_entity.
  Recoverable and loud, but an outage until a field is refilled. The note says so
  now, and tells the operator to write the entity down before downgrading.

19/19 green in the goodwe-addon-ci image.

adminandClaude Opus 5 f000547518 SAFETY-30: grade each inverter against its own power, and the site's total against the meter
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 4m38s
THE DEFECT, in one line. `inv.sign_wd.evaluate(stood, self.grid, ...)` compared
the command THIS controller put on ONE actuator against what the WHOLE SITE is
exchanging with the network. At a roster of one those are two views of the same
thing - specs.md §6.2's identity - and that is what makes the check sound and
what earned it the best record in the safety table (NOTES.md: 93 % agreement
while healthy against 4 % during runaway, four observed episodes, zero false
positives). At two inverters they are not, and it fails in BOTH directions:

  FALSE TRIP  inverter A commanded -1500 W while the meter reads +1500 W is
              evidence of nothing when inverter B is discharging 3000 W exactly
              as told. Nothing is faulty and the highest-value check fires.
  MISSED      the converse, and it is worse. A unit commanded +1500 W and
              MEASURED at -1500 W, beside a sibling at +1500 W, leaves P1
              exactly where a healthy site leaves it. The summation destroys the
              evidence and no threshold recovers it.

DEV-02 had already shipped the per-INSTANCE half - one SignWatchdog per
inverter, namespaced latch, a trip on B no longer latching A. What was left was
the COMPARISON, and it is two questions rather than one:

  PER UNIT  this unit's standing command against ITS OWN measured power
            (`Inverter.batt`, holding register 0x0518, per-instance since
            DEV-02). Conclusion: "the actuator I am driving is not doing what I
            told it" - a fact about one device, so the remedy stays the per-unit
            `failsafe` SET that arbiter.CLAIM_SCOPE has classified SCOPE_UNIT
            from the day it was written. That entry read "the evidence is
            site-wide and the remedy is not"; the first half is now simply true.
  SITE      the SUM of the standing commands against the meter, as a new
            `sign_site` SET at P_SAFETY on the site actuator, latched under flat
            `site_sign_tripped` / `site_sign_reason`. This is the 2026-08-20
            fault day and NO per-unit check can see it, because every inverter
            may be faithfully executing its share of a number that is itself
            wrong. It stops every inverter and the banner names the site.

WHAT IT IS NOT, said here because two guards that overlap without saying so is
how a false-alarm generator gets built. It is not SAFETY-31: circulation.py
compares the units AGAINST EACH OTHER and catches them pushing power THROUGH
each other, which nets to zero at the meter and about which no single command is
evidence. This compares each unit against ITS OWN COMMAND. They overlap in
exactly one scenario - a unit reversing while its sibling pulls the other way -
and test_watchdog.py asserts on that fixture that both fire and what each
concludes. It is also not the saturation freeze, which is a MAGNITUDE test
(|command - measured| > 500 W) that shapes the loop and fires on a merely
saturated unit; this is a DIRECTION test that latches and parks one.

THE FOUR NUMBERS, RE-DERIVED AT TWO INVERTERS - one carried with a justification
and one refused. 1890 closed-loop runs on admin/goodwe's TEST-19 two-master rig
in which NOTHING is faulty, swept over the whole range config.yaml accepts for
`gain` and `slew_w`, across load reversals with write staggers and flapping
loads, and RUN AT BOTH ROSTERS so the N=1 arm is the control:

  unit_sign_disagree_w  250   `saturation_w / 2`. The check gates on both sides,
                              opposed, so the smallest gap it can see is 500 W -
                              exactly where compute()'s own anti-windup test
                              already says the inverter is not following. It
                              cannot fire on a divergence the control law calls
                              ordinary tracking. Worst legitimate opposition at
                              250 W: 10.0 s; the curve is nearly flat, because a
                              unit's own power chases its own command.
  unit_sign_disagree_s   85   8.5x that 10.0 s, 2.8x the firmware's own 30 s
                              link veto (inverter.LINK_STALE_S), under half the
                              180 s site hold.
  site_sign_disagree_w  300   CARRIED. Its argument is the meter's noise floor
                              and the 15 W deadband; the roster touches neither,
                              and the campaign agrees - the gate opens in 994 of
                              1050 runs at two inverters and 955 of 1050 at one.
  site_sign_disagree_s  325   NOT CARRIED, and this is the number the card
                              exists to not assume. The worst legitimate
                              crossing at 300 W is 110 s with one inverter and
                              215 s with TWO, because the command must travel a
                              rail that is the roster sum at a `slew_w` that is
                              not - reachable at gain 0.05, slew_w 50 and a
                              2.2 kW load reversal, all schema-legal. 180 s
                              would have shipped a false trip. 325 s is 1.51x
                              the measured worst, inside the 900 s billing
                              quarter and inside every episode of the fault day.

AT ONE INVERTER NOTHING CHANGES, and "nothing" is asserted rather than assumed.
The two questions are the same sentence there, so only the detector that shipped
is armed: same comparison against the meter, same 300 W / 180 s, same reason
string byte for byte, same namespaced latch and flat rollback mirror, same
`failsafe` claim, same banner, same single status row - and the site detector is
NEVER CALLED, counted on the object over twelve cycles.

VERIFIED BY BREAKING IT. Thirteen mutations on fresh per-mutation trees with no
__pycache__, mounted :ro, with the battery refusing to report at all unless the
baseline is green. Twelve red on the first pass. M4 - the site half armed at N=1
as well - SURVIVED, because the check read `disagree_since is None` and the unit
detector trips first, parks the inverter and leaves the site standing at 0 W:
the assertion ran, the sentence was true, and the data could not reach the
failure it named. Replaced with a call counter on the object; M4 is red now.
Recorded as a survivor in DECISIONS/SAFETY-30-per-unit-sign.md §5, with the
first battery's own RED BASELINE - a shared mutation directory read mid-copy -
discarded rather than reported.

RECORDED, NOT FIXED: the site comparison is defeated by a square-wave load whose
half period is about one control cycle, which holds it opposed for ~1000 s. The
N=1 control arm is what makes that interpretable - it is identical at the roster
this add-on ships, so it is a property of comparing a lagged command against a
meter and has nothing to do with the second inverter. It wants an alternation
test rather than a number, and a card of its own.

SAFETY-24's lo-only asymmetry proof re-run unchanged: 1296 combinations, 0
negative floors, `hi` +inf on every claim, every claim on the SITE actuator.

adminandClaude Opus 5 6b85acb0f1 CFG-04: an operator can declare a second inverter, and the shape was measured
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 4m30s
DEV-02 made every per-device value per-instance - rating, SoC, watchdogs,
heartbeat, store keys - so the code stopped assuming one inverter. The options
schema did not. `build_roster()` returned a list of exactly one and said so in
its own docstring, and there was no `inverters:` key for an operator to write,
so the roster could only ever be a roster of one.

THE SHAPE, AND WHY IT WAS MEASURED RATHER THAN CHOSEN

config.yaml had no list-of-objects anywhere, and `static_profile` carries a
whole tariff structure as a JSON string in a `str?` precisely because a nested
schema was doubted. That is a question about somebody else's software, so it was
answered by running it: `tools/supervisor_shape_probe.py` (committed) runs
Supervisor 2026.08.0's OWN `AppOptions` validator and `SCHEMA_APP_CONFIG`, out
of the release image, against this repository's config.yaml. 2026.08.0 is the
version the live install reports. The full transcript and the argument are in
DECISIONS/CFG-04-inverter-roster.md.

It accepts the list, enforces per-entry types, refuses a missing `name` /
`setpoint_entity` / `max_w` BY NAME, renders the option in the UI as a
repeatable section, and drops the key with a warning under an older schema - so
a downgrade is not the forward trap in reverse.

⚠️ AND THE `inverters: []` DEFAULT IS LOAD-BEARING, WHICH IS THE MEASUREMENT
THAT MATTERED MOST. Supervisor answers `Missing option 'inverters' in root` for
an options blob that has no such key - which every existing install's has, since
the key did not exist when they were written. `App.options` is the shipped
`options:` block deep-merged with the operator's stored one, so the empty
default is the difference between an upgrade nobody notices and an add-on that
cannot start with a schema pinned to the version that would fix it. That is
docs/deploy-rollback.md §4's trap in the FORWARD direction, found before it was
sprung. The merger was checked too: lists override rather than concatenate, so a
non-empty default could not have grown a roster behind the operator's back.

NOTHING IS INHERITED, WHICH IS DEV-02 RESTATED AS A CONFIG RULE

`name`, `setpoint_entity` and `max_w` are required of every entry. An entry that
omits `soc_entity` has no SoC sensor; it does not borrow the flat one. A
three-line fallback would have rebuilt the sibling-grading defect DEV-02 spent a
card removing, in YAML. Defaults still live in exactly one place (CFG-03):
there is no per-entry default anywhere, because there is no optional per-entry
number. A flat `setpoint_entity` left set beside a declared roster is refused
rather than ignored - it names an actuator nothing will write.

TWO PERMISSIVE READERS IN SHIPPED CODE, AND THREE MORE IN THE CHECKS

  validate.py rules 5 and 6 compared their thresholds against the FLAT `max_w`.
  At a roster of two 2000 W units with `max_w: 5000` left over from a
  single-inverter install, `sign_disagree_w: 3000` passed rule 5 while
  SAFETY-02's watchdog could fire on NEITHER unit - rule 5's own failure mode,
  reached through rule 5. They read `unit_caps()` now, which at one inverter is
  `[max_w]` exactly.

  main.py's `run_control()` re-ran the device-rating check behind
  `if self.o.get("setpoint_entity")` - the flat key, which a roster leaves blank
  - so on a two-inverter site no inverter's `max_w` was graded against the
  device it is written to, and the skip was silent. `validate_unit_ranges()`
  grades each unit against its own ESPHome and runs unconditionally.

  test_peakguard.py's `read_option()` and `_schema_bound()` and
  test_inverter.py's `read_schema_max()` matched a STRIPPED line and took the
  first hit, so the nested per-inverter `max_w:` began outranking the flat one -
  silently, and correctly, because the two bounds are the same int(100,5000)
  today. A reader that is right by coincidence is this project's named failure
  mode. All three are anchored at exactly two spaces now; the file's two halves
  disambiguate `peak_cap_w` instead of first-match, and an ambiguous key raises
  rather than picking one. test_tariff.py's copy of the idiom went with them.

THE AUDIT IS A CHECK, NOT A PROMISE

test_inverter.py part 11 finds every config.yaml-reading function in the suite -
transitively, because two of the readers CFG-04 had to change never name the
file - EXECUTES each against a synthetic two-inverter config.yaml whose
per-inverter numbers differ from its flat ones, and fails if any answers with
the per-inverter value. The table is not maintained by hand: the signature
decides, so the eleventh reader is named on its first run. config.yaml declares
`inverters:` BEFORE `max_w:` on purpose and part 11 asserts that ordering, so
the trap stays baited.

SAFETY-28's `actuator_writers()` needed no change - it was already a structural,
case-folding census - but until now there was no configuration in which two
writers on one actuator could be WRITTEN DOWN. There is now, and it is refused.

VERIFIED BY BREAKING IT

Ten mutations run through tools/mutation_run.sh and observed red, listed in
test_inverter.py part 12 with the check that bites each. Two survived the first
run and the CHECKS were changed, not the table: the inheritance check had blank
flat keys, so "inherited" and "not inherited" were the same empty string; and
the `run_control()` check asserted a SOURCE LINE was present, which re-indenting
it does not remove. Both are recorded in MUTATION.md's "the check's data cannot
reach the failure it names" section, which now carries two more habits: assert
on behaviour rather than on source text, and give a check whose failure mode is
a hang a deadline.

19/19 green in the goodwe-addon-ci image. The one-inverter path is byte-
identical: the whole existing suite runs unmodified against it.

Version bumped to 0.6.0 - the Supervisor keys the built image by `version:`, so
a schema change without a bump is a schema nobody reads.

adminandClaude Opus 5 7ef3d23245 SAFETY-31: measure circulating power, which nets to zero at the meter
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 4m28s
Inverter A charging at 3 kW while inverter B discharges at 3 kW nets ~0 W at
P1. The site reads idle while both packs are cycled through two round-trip
conversion losses continuously, for no benefit, and the wear is real.

NOTHING EXISTING CAN SEE IT, AND THAT IS STRUCTURAL. Every guard in this
add-on is a consumer of the NET figure at the grid connection: SAFETY-02's
sign watchdog gates on abs(grid_w) > 300 and the gate never opens at a netted
zero; the peak guard and the capacity tariff both bill grid exchange.
Circulating power is precisely the component of per-inverter power that the
sum destroys, so no threshold on any existing detector could reach it.

WHAT ALLOC-01 ALREADY COVERED, AND IS NOT RE-IMPLEMENTED HERE. Its AC 7
shipped the sign-coherence gate (allocator.REFUSE_SIGN, graded by
test_alloc.py part 6): an allocation whose shares carry two signs is REFUSED,
both units named, no shares returned. That is the COMMAND half - the allocator
can no longer command circulating power. This commit is the MEASUREMENT half:
circulation the allocator NEVER COMMANDED.

  app/circulation.py   the sensor and the trip
  main.py              site_circulating_w, the evaluation, the claim, the alarm
  arbiter.py           `circulation` classified SCOPE_SITE, with the argument
  store.py             a flat, site-level durable latch
  mqtt.py              sensor.goodwe_circulating_power
  config.yaml          two options, two schema ranges, CFG-03 discipline

THE SENSOR: sum(|Bi|) - |sum(Bi)|. Zero when the units pull the same way,
2*min(|Ba|,|Bb|) when they oppose. DERIVED FROM MEASURED PER-INVERTER POWER -
Inverter.batt, register 0x0518 - and never from the allocation record. The
cheap version would be simpler and worth nothing: ALLOC-01's gate already
guarantees the record is sign-coherent, so a record-derived sensor reads zero
BY CONSTRUCTION and can only confirm that the allocator agrees with itself,
which is the third failure mode MUTATION.md names. What this catches is a unit
ignoring or lagging its share, a stale share still being executed, a
maintenance or SAFETY-25 pin holding one unit while the loop drives the other,
or HW-01's power stage running its last instruction for 6 h 25 m with the
comms dead and the allocation record impeccable throughout. batt became
per-instance in DEV-02; before that this could not have been written.

VERIFIED BY MAKING ONE UNIT IGNORE ITS SHARE, on the TEST-19 two-master rig:

  S = -2500 W   shares a = -1250 W  b = -1250 W   <- record ok, ONE sign, sums
  MEASURED      A = -1250 W  B = +1000 W          <- hardware
  sensor over the RECORD     :    0 W
  sensor over MEASURED power : 2000 W  -> trips at 190 s

and the card's own scenario, A -3000 W against B +3000 W at zero house load:
the meter reads +0 W, the sensor reads 6000 W, and the shipped SignWatchdog's
predicate is FALSE on 30 of 30 cycles.

WHAT "ACTED ON" MEANS - decided, and recorded in DECISIONS/. The trip files
Claim.set("circulation", P_SAFETY, 0.0) on the SITE actuator: every inverter
to 0 W, latched. HW-01 established that commanding a wedged inverter achieves
nothing, so the remedy is not aimed at it. A circulating loop needs TWO
participants and one of them is THIS CONTROLLER, faithfully driving the
listening sibling into the one that stopped listening. Stopping (1) halves the
loop, which needs no cooperation from the wedged unit, and (2) - the more
important half - makes the residue VISIBLE at the meter instead of cancelled
at it, where every ordinary guard can finally see it. What it cannot do is
stop the wedged unit; the notification says so and names the isolator as the
last actuator. SITE-scoped because the quantity is defined over the roster and
is identically zero for any one unit - there is no fact of the matter about
which of two opposing inverters is the offender, so filing it per-unit would
invent an attribution and could park the only unit still listening.

THE WINDOW IS FROM THE RIG, NOT A ROUND NUMBER (AC 3). 924 closed-loop runs in
which NOTHING is faulty, over both families of legitimate opposition (7
reversals x 5 write staggers; 7 flap periods x 4 amplitudes), swept across the
whole range the schema accepts for gain and slew_w. Worst CONTINUOUS
legitimate opposition by threshold: 505.0 s at 100 W, 40.0 s at 250 W, 10.0 s
at 300 W, 5.0 s at 400 W and above. The knee is 400 W and it is the schema
floor - below it, ordinary operation holds the sensor over the line for
minutes and no window inside the 900 s billing quarter could tell that from a
fault. circulation_w 700 is 1.75x the knee, the headroom bought for inverter
B's ramp and lag being PLACEHOLDERS until SPIKE-04 measures them.
circulation_hold_s 75 clears three bounds: 15x the worst legitimate episode,
2.5x the firmware's own LINK_STALE_S veto, 12x inside the quarter. A momentary
opposition while one unit slews through zero is LEGITIMATE - writes are
serialised, so B's number lands up to a cycle after A's - and 0 of the 924
runs trip.

THE ALARM SURVIVES AN HA RESTART (SAFETY-34). persistent_notification is in
memory, which is exactly how the 2026-09-02 outage went unseen for 6 h 25 m
with the detector correct throughout. The latch is persisted to /data as flat
site-level keys and the notification is RE-RAISED on the first cycle after
every start, through the same code path as a fresh trip - two paths would be
two chances for the restart one to rot unnoticed.

AT N=1 NOTHING CHANGES (AC 5). |B| - |B| is 0 for every reading including one
nobody took, no claim is ever filed, the arbitration is byte-identical, and
the status page says n/a rather than claiming to watch something that cannot
happen.

VERIFIED BY BREAKING IT (AC 4). 18 mutations, all RED on named checks, each on
a freshly copied tree with no __pycache__ mounted :ro. M10 - the sensor
rewritten to read self.allocation.shares - is the headline: it takes AC 2 red.
Three mutations are +0 B, the risky delta, and are marked as such. One
equivalent mutant (the max(0.0,...) guard) is ARGUED rather than claimed:
searched over 700 000 rosters without a negative. One genuine SURVIVOR was
found and closed - publish() turning an unknown into a published 0 W, the
sensor's own None rule defeated one layer out. Full ledger in DECISIONS/.

arbiter.CLAIM_SCOPE gains its ninth source, so test_peakguard.py's 10f and 10g
tripwires and test_arbiter.py's scope table went red on the line the append
was written. Updated deliberately, with the argument, as their own comments
require. Full 19-file suite green.

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 d48c6b971d DEV-02: correct the operator instruction the latch rename made wrong
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 4m13s
HANDOVER.md told an operator to "delete `sign_tripped` from
/data/state.json" to clear a sign-disagreement trip by hand. After this card
that key is a FOSSIL: the live latch is `unit/<inverter>/sign_tripped`, and
the flat one is left in the file only so a rollback finds its latch and is
never read again. Following the old instruction would delete a key that clears
nothing, on the one path an operator reaches while staring at a FAILSAFE
banner - so the instruction would look like it had failed.

DOCS.md's §SAFETY-02 section named the file but not the key; it now names both,
and says why there is one per inverter.

No code change; the suite is unaffected and green.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Full suite green on the merged tree: 15 files.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 303525cfc5 TARIFF-03: static day/night and fully-fixed tariffs, first-class
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 2m43s
§9.2 puts a large share of the Belgian installed base on a static profile, and
an EMS that only works under dynamic pricing is an EMS for a minority. A new
`static_profile` option describes a two-period day/night tariff - or a single
fixed price - and app/static_tariff.py turns it into the same canonical
{start, eur_per_kwh, provisional} series the fetched providers emit.

Not a sixth provider plugin, for two mechanical reasons. capabilities() is a
classmethod, so a plugin's PriceProduct is fixed when the class is written -
but §9.2 makes STATIC and FIXED two different products and which one a site is
on is a property of the operator's data; StaticProfile.product derives it from
the number of distinct prices. And the plugin framework exists to stop a
FETCHED figure being marked up twice, which a number typed as all-in cannot be.
So the profile sits where §11.4 already says it does - under the providers, as
the fallback. Configured product and feed-is-down are one generator differing
in one flag, so the degradation path cannot rot unused.

"No arbitrage" is a type. TariffPlan.arbitrage() returns a variant whose
ALLOWED arm carries the spread and the cheapest/dearest hours and whose REFUSED
arm carries a reason and nothing else - .spread_eur_kwh on a refusal raises
rather than answering 0.0, so an optimiser cannot compute a trade from one.
Four refusals, all derived: peak guard holding, no price data, plan
provisional, or the series is FLAT. The last is AC2: a fixed tariff disables
arbitrage by arithmetic, not by matching on an enum. peak_guard_active is a
required keyword argument, so §10.1's priority 2 over 3 cannot be skipped.

Time-window shifting reaches the one shiftable load that exists: main.py's
cheap-window flag falls back to the static profile, and the UI gained a Tariff
row. Cheap is STRICTLY below the seven-day mean - `<=` would call every hour of
a flat tariff cheap, and 48 h taken on a Friday is two-thirds weekend.

A profile must tile every day type exactly once, checked at startup; a gap is
refused with the range named rather than filled in. `22:00-07:00 mon-fri` does
not cover Saturday morning, and that trap is what the check catches.

validate.py rule 7's stated reason expired exactly as TARIFF-02 predicted: the
test_price.py section 12 tripwire went red naming static_tariff.py. The message
now says what is true instead, and the tripwire is re-aimed rather than removed
- consumer set pinned, expired phrase asserted gone. Rule 7 also grew a second
refusal for static_profile alongside the HA price pair, the same silent-loser
conflict and a live one.

CFG-03 is not widened: static_profile went into price.py's PRICE_OPTION_DEFAULTS
- the one in-code mirror pinned to config.yaml by a check - and the new module
carries no defaults dict of its own.

Measured on the two committed days of this house's real P1 meter. 2026-08-20
(Thursday): 15.220 kWh imported, 9.606 day / 5.614 night, EUR 4.7185 under
day/night vs EUR 4.6725 flat, shifting saves EUR 0.8069 = 9.606 kWh x the
0.0840 spread, derived twice. 2026-08-23 (Sunday): 0.728 kWh, all of it
night-priced, which is the weekend row proving itself. §17 names six Belgian
scenarios; this is the seventh, and it is two days rather than a season - the
file says so rather than implying an annual figure.

All 12 suites green. Eleven mutations of static_tariff.py were each caught by
at least one check.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 616b62d3e9 SAFETY-07: cap the loop before it sets the month's billed capacity peak
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 3m7s
TARIFF-01 measured the quarter and said the consumer would be this card. It is
one new module, app/peakguard.py, and one new claim.

THE MECHANISM. Every cycle the guard projects the open 900 s block to its
end-of-interval average - from P1 telegrams only, never from the command - and
compares it to a ceiling. Over the ceiling it files ONE arbiter claim: a lower
bound on the setpoint at P_PEAK. That single shape is both behaviours 10.1 asks
for, a hard clamp on charging and pre-emptive discharge, and it cannot cap
discharge or export, because a floor cannot. 9.1's asymmetry becomes a property
of the object instead of a rule to remember.

    excess = 900 x (projected - ceiling) / seconds remaining
    floor  = MEASURED battery power + excess

The 900/remaining gain is 1.0 at the top of the quarter and grows, so the guard
is gentlest where its projection rests on the least evidence. The floor is sized
from delivered battery power, not the standing command: a floor built on intent
re-adds its own unmet ask every cycle and winds to the rail whenever the inverter
fails to follow, and test_peakguard.py part 1 shows the two diverging.

IT TRIPS, AND THE CAPTURES DECIDED THAT. On the healthy reference day it engages
on zero of 95 quarters. The action is level-triggered, unlatched and re-derived
every cycle, so a false engagement costs one cycle of discharge rather than a
parked battery - the cost SAFETY-18 could not bound and this one can. Replayed on
2026-08-20 the billed quarter goes from 5029.8 W, above the inverter's own 5000 W
rating, to 3485 W, under the soft limit and without saturating. Quarters under
the limit across both committed days: 189/190 -> 190/190. Two days is not thirty
and AC 3 remains TARIFF-01's open item.

BLINDNESS IS CHECKED BEFORE THE PROJECTION IS GRADED, and it is a different
action. A fresh averager projects a confident 0 W, which is under every ceiling
there is; a meter gap longer than meter_max_age_s makes the projection read LOW;
a frozen meter reading export projects 0 W at full coverage. All three become a
floor of 0 W - no importing while the billed quantity is unobservable - which is
one-directional and cannot cost pack energy. That is the backstop SAFETY-18 could
not be: its alarm arrives at 300 s of a 900 s quarter and commands nothing. The
frozen term is freeze.looks_frozen() itself, on this cycle's standing command.

THE CEILING IS peak_cap_w, RAISED ONLY BY AN OBSERVED READING. NO_RECORD and
NOT_OBSERVED both leave it at the cap, so an unreadable peak store makes the
guard stricter and never looser. The gate is the reading's STATE, not whether a
number happens to be attached: today a `peak_w is not None` test behaves
identically, and depending on that coincidence is how a future last-known-peak
field would raise the ceiling off a read that failed. headroom_w() is
deliberately not consumed - cap minus peak turns a zero peak into FULL freedom.

TWO DEFECTS FOUND BUILDING IT, both in the interaction rather than the
arithmetic, and both caught by running the thing rather than by reading it:

  * A LIMIT does not out-vote another LIMIT. arbiter.resolve() applies every
    limit at or above the winner's priority and takes the most restrictive, so
    the peak floor (lo >= 0) and the maintenance charge-only shaping (hi <= 0)
    resolved to a CONTRADICTION and 0 W - the battery parked in the exact quarter
    it should shave. Fixed by suppression, not priority: main.py drops the
    maintenance shaping while the guard is engaged, which is what that branch
    already did for the optional peak_forecast_entity - a key empty on a default
    install, so until now the suspension could not fire on the site that needed
    it.
  * Thresholding `excess > 0` released the claim the instant it began working,
    producing seventeen engage/release cycles in one 900 s quarter and leaving
    that quarter 49 W over the limit it had spent fifteen minutes holding. That
    is 10.2's oscillation. The threshold is now the floor itself, which is the
    same arithmetic read as a level rather than as a switch.

PeakTracker.project() no longer reads a private name with a default.
getattr(averager, "_last_net", 0.0) failed quiet AND disarming - a rename credits
0 W held, the projection reads low, the money guard does not engage.
QuarterAverager.held_net_w is a documented public property now, read without a
default, and Projection carries it. TEST-13 item 4.

NO NEW OPTION AND NO FOURTH DEFAULTS SITE. The ceiling is peak_cap_w, the
coverage threshold is meter_max_age_s, the freeze predicate is meter_freeze_s,
and the achievable discharge comes from max_w and the device rating. config.yaml
and validate.py are untouched; 14's capacity_peak_limit_kw stays declined. On
meter_source: off there are no telegrams, so the guard does not run at all and
the status page says NOT COVERED - running it there blinded it permanently and
stopped every legacy install from charging, which is what the first cut did until
test_clamp.py's export case caught it.

test_peakguard.py: eight parts, all figures derived from the shipped config.yaml
and the committed captures. Part 8 runs seven one-line defeats of the guard and
reports which check bites; six do, and the seventh is reported as NOT caught,
because max(cap, peak) makes a zero peak the strictest ceiling there is and there
is nothing left to catch.

adminandClaude Opus 5 e102cde841 TARIFF-02 review: close the three other doors to the markup, and stop overclaiming
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 2m34s
Review of PR #16 wrote a double-counting plugin four ways. PluginOptions
blocked one. The one that decided it touched nothing but
PRICE_OPTION_DEFAULTS - a public dict in the module every plugin must
already import for register() - so "the number is not in scope" was
simply false, and an absolute guarantee a reviewer trusts is worse than
a stated limit, because they stop checking.

register() now refuses, AT IMPORT, any plugin whose own code mentions a
framework-owned name: FRAMEWORK_KEYS plus PRICE_OPTION_DEFAULTS,
price_option and _o. code_leaks() parses the class and drops every
docstring node before searching, because every plugin is REQUIRED to
name its sourced components in prose - engie_dynamic says "markup" in
its docstring and a raw text scan false-positives on the documentation
the same file mandates. A check that fires on required documentation is
a check somebody deletes. test_price.py asserts that a raw scan really
would have false-positived, so the strip is proven load-bearing rather
than asserted.

It fails OPEN if inspect.getsource() cannot find the .py, which the
add-on image always can. Refusing to start a battery controller because
a static analysis could not run would trade a real outage for a
hypothetical accounting error - so instead the checks assert source was
found for all five shipped plugins, and a build that lost it is a red
check rather than a quietly disarmed guard.

All three reachable attacks are written out as plugins in the suite and
each must be refused at registration. The cost is measured, not
asserted: honest wholesale 0.188, every attack 0.219 - one markup high,
every hour, invisible in every log this add-on writes.

The guarantee is now stated at its true size everywhere it appears: the
framework adds the complement exactly once, GIVEN A CORRECT sources
DECLARATION. A plugin that declares {ENERGY} while its feed is all-in
still doubles while touching no framework name, and no code can catch
that - the declaration is an unverifiable claim about somebody else's
tariff. Measured in the suite (0.276) so the limit is a number rather
than a caveat. The docstring/declaration check verifies that a plugin's
two claims AGREE, not that either is true; that now says so.

The three surviving mutations:

M3 - _NoData's reason taking a default. This is the identical survivor
left open on RIG-01's _Unread.cause: the shape was borrowed from
sim/riglock.py including its blind spot, which is what borrowing a shape
does if nobody re-runs the mutations against the copy. Closed by
SIGNATURE - no constructor or handler of an outcome type may carry a
default - so the next one is red without anyone writing a new case.

M5 - the ENERGY-required guard was untested. Its consequence is that
adds becomes {ENERGY, TAXES} and the emitted price silently omits the
energy it is pricing.

M7 - deleting the TLS refusal went green AND the check named for it
still passed, because the old parser stripped a fixed len("https://")
and mangled http://api.energy-charts.info/p into the host
pi.energy-charts.info, which then failed the ALLOW-LIST. An assertion
that does not test what it names, inside a security check. Fixed on both
sides: the scheme is parsed as a scheme, so an http URL now resolves to
its real and declared host and only the TLS rule can refuse it; and the
check asserts the REASON. Fixing it surfaced M7b - the no-scheme guard
was survivable the same way - found by mutating my own fix, and closed
the same way.

Also carried forward: rule 7's refusal is correct forever but its stated
reason ("the provider decides nothing") expires the moment TARIFF-03 or
OPT-04 lands. test_price.py section 12 now greps app/ by AST for a
load_prices consumer and goes red when one appears, telling whoever
lands it to update the message in the same commit. The first draft of
that tripwire used a substring and matched the comment in validate.py
explaining the tripwire - the same false-positive class as the plugin
docstrings, hit twice in one ticket, and fixed the same way.

Documented rather than coded around: vars(read).get("points", []) and
bool(read) both still get past the absence type, and neither is worth
code - defining __bool__ would turn a line that reads like a guard into
one that IS a guard by accident, which is how .get(k, default) got here
in the first place.

Stated plainly in DOCS/CHANGELOG/PR: every fixture is synthetic, so the
five feed URLs and JSON shapes are verified against a belief about what
those suppliers publish rather than against the feeds. A wrong shape
degrades to no-price-data, not to a wrong price.

Review's own DST verification recorded: 149,040 hourly instants,
2020-2036, zero mismatches against zoneinfo. The residual is political,
not arithmetic, and the docstring now says so.

24 mutations driven through the suite, 0 survivors. Whole add-on suite
green. No deleted lines outside this ticket's own files; main.py still
untouched.

adminandClaude Opus 5 852fc7ced6 TARIFF-02: one canonical price format, and a seam that keeps supplier names out of the optimiser
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 2m33s
Five provider plugins - generic_dayahead, engie_dynamic,
totalenergies_dynamic, eneco_eddy, manual_csv - all emitting exactly
{"prices": [{"start", "eur_per_kwh", "provisional"}]}, tz-aware at the
Brussels offset, EUR/kWh, all-in. Nothing consumes it yet; the seam
lands first, per the PM's ordering.

It is built in goodwe_controller/app/ rather than at specs.md 2.2's
ems/ingest/prices/, per the product owner's decision of 2026-08-30. The
behaviour 9.3 / 8.3 / 11.4 specifies is unchanged.

Three things shape the design, and each is the mechanism rather than a
comment saying to be careful:

Double-counting the markup is unreachable. A plugin does not return a
price - it returns the figure its source published and declares which of
{energy, markup, taxes} that figure already contains. assemble() adds
the complement, once, in the framework. A plugin is never handed
price_markup_eur_kwh: PluginOptions raises FrameworkOption on it, so the
line that adds the margin a second time cannot be written. Engie and
TotalEnergies publish a retail figure with their margin inside; adding
the configured 3 c/kWh on top would have made every arbitrage decision
wrong by that amount with nothing reporting it.

The product type is declared, not inferred from the plugin's name.
eneco_eddy is real-time/imbalance and gets 8.3's widened thresholds
through capabilities().product and volatility_regime(), never through a
name comparison - which is AC2. test_price.py asserts mechanically that
no plugin id appears anywhere in the framework's code, and drives a
sixth provider defined inside the test file to the right regime with
price.py untouched.

"No price data" is a type, not an empty list - the same rework
sim/riglock.py took under TEST-04. A fetch returns PriceRead.series(...)
or PriceRead.no_data(reason), and only the first carries fields. An
empty series is not constructible; no_data has no .points, no .at(), and
.get("points", []) raises rather than returning the default. A day of
free electricity and a day with no prices are different instructions -
arbitrage is pointless under one and forbidden under the other - and an
implementation returning [] cannot tell them apart. Every site-level
failure returns no_data; nothing raises into the control tick.

Also: injection stays a separate scalar (export_price_eur_kwh, AC4),
negative prices survive the boundary validator (17's regression case),
egress is allow-listed against each plugin's own declaration (16), and
no tzdata is used - the shipped Alpine image has none, so Brussels
offsets come from the EU rule and instants are carried as UTC.

validate.py grows rule 7: an unknown provider id, manual_csv with no
path, and - the HA overlap the PM told us to decide about -
price_provider set alongside price_now_entity/price_avg_entity, which is
two price sources where the HA pair silently wins. The HA sensors are
kept and still work alone; TARIFF-03 and OPT-04 are what replace them.

CFG-03 is not widened: the price defaults have ONE in-code mirror,
PRICE_OPTION_DEFAULTS, which validate.py imports rather than restating
and which test_price.py pins to config.yaml by reading the file.

test_price.py is runnable, assert-free in the house style, and every
verdict it prints is derived. It grades the markup arithmetic with
0.031/0.057 rather than the shipped 0.03/0.06, because 0.06 is exactly
twice 0.03 and a degenerate pair would make double-counting
indistinguishable from correct addition - and it asserts that
non-degeneracy as its first section. The DST checks run on the 23-hour
and 25-hour days, not on a normal day where a fixed 24-slot
implementation and a correct one agree. Thirteen mutations were driven
through it; all thirteen go red.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 c040aac4b8 SAFETY-03: alarm when a computed setpoint exceeds the rating, do not just clip it
The clamp was never the missing half. specs.md 10.3 records an unclamped
integrator climbing ~130 W per 4 s past 10 kW and reporting 14 768 W pinned at
the 5 kW rail; clipped silently that is a flat, legal-looking 5000 W hold and
nothing says the loop asked for three times it.

write_setpoint() - the one path every write takes - now clamps to the VALIDATED
max_w and reports whether the raw value differed; check_output_clamp() raises
OUTPUT_CLAMP as a notification, an ERROR, an event row and a red status banner.
Not a trip: the clamped value is written and the loop keeps running.

The rating is max_w and nothing is min()ed at runtime - CFG-01 already refuses a
max_w outside the device range at startup. The device range is applied second as
defence in depth; it cannot bite after a successful validation, so if it ever
does it alarms too and names the bound. No new config key.

Decision grew i_clamped / clamped booleans, and that is the load-bearing part:
`reason` is one string that slew-limiting and the saturation freeze overwrite,
so an alarm keyed on it is silent on exactly the cycles a winding loop produces.
Mutating main.py back onto the string drops the 10.3 replay from 2 engagements
to 0.

Distinct from saturation by construction - no shared reason code, notification
id, status row or counter - and checked in the negative, after first asserting
the saturation freeze really did engage.

Two things found by running it rather than by reading it: a row per engagement
flushed the 40-row event log and evicted SAFETY-18's own METER FROZEN? row (now
coalesced per episode with an exact count), and a naive clamp turns a nan into a
command at the full rating because every comparison against nan is False.

test_clamp.py is new: assert-based, no framework. Six author mutations
reproduced red, including "clamp kept, alarm deleted". Two of the check's own
hypotheses about the freeze/clamp interaction were refused by its sweep and
rewritten to what it measured.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 7cde5d862a Merge release/1.0 into SAFETY-18 - CHANGELOG only
MAINT-04 (#10) landed on release/1.0 mid-review, so both branches had
prepended a stanza. config.yaml and DOCS.md auto-merged clean; only the
CHANGELOG needed a hand. Both stanzas are kept verbatim, MAINT-04's
Unreleased above the new 0.5.2 - no text from either author edited.
MAINT-04 is unreleased and 0.5.2 is being cut here, so a release manager
may want to fold the two; that is an editorial call, not a reviewer's.

Full suite green on the merged tree: arbiter, control, loop, maintenance,
p1, validate, watchdog, freeze.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 7aa1bd052e SAFETY-18: a meter frozen at a wrong-but-fresh value now raises an alarm
A meter that answers 200 OK with a stale document forever is ARRIVING on every
poll, so every freshness mechanism in the stack reads it as healthy while the
loop integrates a constant error and rails: 360/135/75 s at the live install's
max_w: 5000 for a meter frozen at 350/1000/>=3000 W. Fifteen minutes of a 5 kW
unattended import sets the month's billed capaciteitstarief peak.

The detector is a conjunction, not the bare unchanged_s threshold TEL-05
measured and rejected:

    unchanged_s >= meter_freeze_s   AND   |command| within 5 % of max_w

Both terms already existed and were already on the status page, and they fail
for independent reasons: at the converged point the command is nowhere near the
rail, and at the rail against a real load the kWh registers move in seconds. At
the shipped 300 s the relation is structural rather than a margin - the slowest
a healthy 1 Wh register can tick and still look unchanged is 12 W, which is
inside the 15 W deadband, so the command there is parked at 0 W.

Notification only, deliberately: an HA persistent notification with a fixed
notification_id, an ERROR log line, a UI event and a red status row. No claim,
no latch, no 0 W. A false trip parks the battery; a false notification costs an
alert. Only meter_source: homewizard_local is covered - the status page says
NOT COVERED elsewhere rather than pretending the guard is armed.

DOCS.md states the capacity-tariff exposure this does NOT close: peak_cap_w caps
maintenance charging and nothing caps the loop. That cap is SAFETY-07.

test_freeze.py grades both directions and was verified by breaking what it
watches (six mutations, all red): silent over the committed 40-minute converged
capture, silent over an hour of TEL-05's low-power case where the rejected bare
threshold is shown to fire, alarming on a genuinely frozen meter driven over
real HTTP through the real HomeWizardLocalSource (the rig's own hwsim freeze
fault when reachable), silent on the same railed command against a meter that is
still moving, and asserting on the service call that leaves Controller.cycle()
rather than on the watchdog's own flag.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 878a6ce452 MAINT-04: refuse a maintenance charge the ceiling cannot deliver
config.yaml shipped max_w 2000 against maintenance_charge_w 2500. The
cheap-window shaping files Claim.limit(hi = -maintenance_charge_w) against
the supervised SAFETY limit's lo = -max_w, so lo > hi - the arbiter's
clause 3, correctly resolved to 0 W and logged as a CONTRADICTION.
Maintenance silently never charged in a cheap window on a default install,
and the only evidence read like a bug in the arbiter rather than like the
two numbers the operator set.

validate_startup_config() now refuses maintenance_charge_w > max_w, the
same shape as CFG-01's sign_disagree_w >= max_w. Equality is reachable
(-max_w is a single valid point) and is not refused. Demonstrated by
starting the add-on on the pre-fix pair: exit 78 and the refusal banner.

maintenance_discharge_w was checked rather than assumed and is NOT the same
case: the drain phase OWNS the actuator (Claim.set at P_MAINTENANCE), so
the ceiling clamps it to +2000 W and the arbiter's explain() names the
clamp every cycle. Loud, and it still moves energy - warned, not refused.

The shipped maintenance rates drop to 2000 so the defaults pass the rule;
max_w was deliberately not raised, because it is the supervised safety
ceiling. test_validate.py now reads config.yaml itself, so a default the
validator refuses cannot ship again.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 cc4e88490b SAFETY-02 review: a latch that a restart clears is not a latch
BLOCKER. `auto` was persisted and `sign_wd.tripped` was not, so reconstructing
the Controller against the same store - which is what a container restart does -
brought it back ARMED, into the same fault, unattended: tripped=False, banner
back to NOT READY, and it resumed commanding -1000 then -2000 W before
re-tripping 180 s later. "Restart the add-on" is the first thing an operator
looking at a FAILSAFE banner and a 0 W inverter will try, and under a supervisor
that restarts a crashed add-on it is a loop of three-minute wrong-direction
bursts. DOCS.md's "it does not clear itself" was false across a restart.

`sign_tripped` and `sign_reason` are Store keys now, beside the maintenance
state and for the reason store.py's own docstring gives. Written the moment the
trip happens - reason first, flag second, so a crash between the two can never
persist a latch with no explanation - restored in Controller.__init__, cleared
only by the operator's start. The regression is covered: reverting the restore
fails seven checks in test_watchdog.py.

Review follow-ups, no behaviour change:

- The arming gate is tested against the REAL arbiter. It is the decision the
  ticket turns on and it was asserted in three comment blocks and verified by
  nothing - every case passed `following` in as a literal. Twelve claim
  configurations now derive it from resolve(), including the redirect case
  `winner == "loop"` alone would have got wrong and the `lo` limit that raises
  magnitude without flipping sign.
- The MQTT `status: "failsafe"` value is tested. The check that claimed to cover
  it restated the line above it and never touched the payload.
- The worked example described a config that does not ship: at the defaults
  maintenance_charge_w 2500 against max_w 2000 is an arbiter contradiction and
  0 W, not a -2500 W charge. Rewritten at 1500 W. The contradiction is a real
  pre-existing bug - a default cheap-window maintenance charge silently never
  happens - filed separately and deliberately not fixed here.
- Forward hazard recorded at the gate: `winner == "loop"` disarms the watchdog
  under any higher-priority SET, and a peak-shaving strategy at P_PEAK IS
  grid-following in sign, so it would blind this for every peak event.
- disagrees() is public so the replay harness stops carrying its own copy of the
  predicate it grades.
- held_s takes the clock instead of reading one.
- The two limits are now each stated in both places rather than one each.
- The no-false-positive argument is tied to control.py's freeze permitting the
  command to cross zero; under the shrink-only encoding control.py records as
  rejected, this would false-trip on a load step.
- Measured figures corrected: 93.4 % / 4212 of 17280, per-cluster
  0.3/0.9/10.5/0.0, and the near-circularity of those figures is now stated
  rather than leaned on.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 9aed43990b SAFETY-02: a loop can be fresh, tracking and inside its rating and still push the wrong way
The stale-input watchdog asks whether the meter is still talking. The saturation
freeze asks whether the inverter can follow. The output clamp asks whether the
number is too big. A loop can pass all three while charging the battery out of
the grid, because the only thing wrong is the sign.

On 2026-08-20 a commercial controller did exactly that four times in one day,
for up to 77 minutes at a stretch, reaching a commanded -14 768 W against a
±5000 W inverter. app/watchdog.py compares the emitted setpoint against the
authoritative P1 figure and, when they oppose each other with both over 300 W
for 180 s continuously, files a failsafe SET claim at P_SAFETY, commands 0 W and
latches there until an operator starts control again.

Validated against that day rather than against an argument: sim/replay_sign.py
in the infra repo drives this module over the committed captures of both
2026-08-20 and the healthy 2026-08-23 and reaches 18 trips on the fault day -
every one inside a window NOTES.md §4.7 accounts for - and 0 on the healthy day.
The four episodes do share one signature: 0.3 / 0.9 / 10.5 / 0.0 % sign
agreement inside them against 92.9 % healthy.

Three decisions the ticket could not make:

- It is DISARMED whenever the grid-following loop is not what is driving. Sign
  agreement is a property of a loop that follows the meter, and a maintenance
  grid charge opposes the meter by design - 2500 W of charge into a house
  drawing 500 W is +3000 W on the meter against a -2500 W command, for hours.
  The gate tests the emitted number, not the winning claim's name, because a
  limit claim can let the loop "win" and still replace its value.
- The trip LATCHES. Commanding 0 W removes the command side of the comparison,
  so the disagreement always clears the moment the trip works.
- sign_disagree_w at or above max_w is refused at startup. The arbiter never
  lets a command exceed max_w, so such a threshold leaves the watchdog incapable
  of firing while the status page still reports it armed.

What it does not catch, said out loud: an inverter that ACTS opposite to its
command moves the meter further the same way, leaving command and meter in
agreement. That is the saturation freeze's job.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 88cd97cc7a SAFETY-12: the loop thinks on a clock, not only when the number moves
run_control() ran cycle() only when the meter value differed from the previous
poll. A meter that repeats a value therefore ran no control cycles at all -
while the heartbeat kept re-emitting the last command and the firmware kept
putting it on the wire every 2 s. Layer 1 stayed fed and every indicator read
healthy, so a command computed from an old reading went on being executed
through whatever the load did next. TEL-05 measured it: 70 s at a literally
constant 350.0 W, 14 arrivals, zero cycles.

cycle_floor_s (default 15 s) is a deadline on the GAP between cycles, reset by
every cycle whichever trigger fired - not a second scheduler. On a healthy meter
it never elapses, so the cycle rate and the commanded sequence are unchanged;
test_loop.py asserts that by driving the real loop twice on one binary (a huge
cycle_floor_s reproduces the old behaviour) and diffing the writes.

15 s is bracketed: above the ~11 s worst gap on a merely-unlucky healthy meter
(~5 s arrivals, 1 s detection, one dropped poll retried on the next tick), below
meter_max_age_s and the firmware's 30 s ingest veto, and equal to stale_input_s.

A floor cycle runs the full law. Freshness is already decided upstream - past
meter_max_age_s the reading is None, which is a P_SAFETY 0 W claim - and the
integrator advances per cycle, not per second, so bounding the gap bounds the
accumulation.

Not a freeze detector: nothing here decides whether a repeated reading is true.
DOCS.md's "accepted deviation" passage is qualified rather than deleted - the
window is now bounded at 3 x cycle_floor_s instead of open-ended, and its
"nothing accumulates while it is stalled" argument is called out as having
covered windup and not staleness. Same correction in control.py's comment.
