Claude 591c35ed01 SAFETY-28: gate the write path on the allocation record, not on key count
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 4m19s
specs §1.5 makes "any configuration in which two writers can reach one
actuator" a non-goal. That non-goal was enforced by counting config keys:
validate.py's ACTUATOR_WRITE_KEYS = ("setpoint_entity",), consumed at rule 1,
with a comment stating the guarantee outright - "there is exactly one such
key, so a second writer is not expressible in the options schema at all".

That was true and it graded THE SHAPE OF THE OPTIONS SCHEMA, not the writes.
Add CFG-04's per-inverter config - a roster of inverters each with its own
setpoint_entity - and there are two real writers with len() of that tuple
still equal to 1. The check stays green while the property it protects is
gone. sim/inject.py's two_writers scenario asserted on the same tuple, so it
went green too. That is this repository's named failure mode: a check that
observes something other than what it claims to observe.

Demonstrated rather than argued. test_validate.py part 2 now constructs the
hazardous per-inverter config, asserts that the OLD proxy is still green on
it, and then asserts the new check refuses it. Against release/1.0's
validator the updated sim scenario reports: "validate_startup_config()
ACCEPTED a configuration in which 3 declarations reach the ONE actuator
number.goodwe_setpoint ... the old proxy reports 1 write key(s) on this same
config and is therefore GREEN on it".

THE WRITE PATH IS NOW GATED ON THE RECORD
=========================================
Controller.write_refusal() asks Allocation.authorises() whether the single
allocator placed exactly this number, for this unit, on this tick.
write_setpoint() refuses anything else. A second writer with arithmetic of
its own cannot satisfy that - its number appears in no record - so it has to
file a Claim and go through resolve(), which is the one allocator. "Exactly
one allocator per shared resource" stops being a convention somebody can
forget and becomes something the write path checks.

The refusal is a SUBSTITUTION, not a return: 0 W goes on the wire in place of
the number nothing stands behind. Returning would leave the inverter latched
on its last command with the ESP32 heartbeat still being fed - holding an
unauthorised setpoint quietly, which is the outcome the gate exists to stop.
AC 1 is "refused at the write path, not merely logged", and test_clamp.py
part 7a grades the device's writes, not the log.

The gate sits BELOW the non-finite coercion and ABOVE the clamp. Below,
because a nan is loss of input and rule 1 has already turned it into 0 W.
Above, because the question is who chose this number, and the answer is only
meaningful about the number that was asked for - gating the CLAMPED value
would refuse exactly the cycles SAFETY-03 exists for, since a clamped write
differs from the allocator's share by construction. Mutation M7 moves the
gate below the clamp and turns nine checks red, part 6c among them.

A STALE RECORD CANNOT BE REPLAYED
=================================
Every Allocation now carries the `tick` it was made for. It is handed IN by
the caller - plan(..., tick=) - rather than counted inside the allocator,
because test_alloc.py part 10 grades that the module holds no state at all,
and a serial number incremented in there would be the cached-across-ticks
thing the envelope rule forbids wearing a different hat.

Controller.alloc_tick advances ONCE PER RESOLUTION, not once per loop
iteration, and both halves are load-bearing:

  * a new allocation makes the previous record stale immediately, so a record
    whose envelopes have moved cannot authorise a write. That is the replay
    half (AC 2), graded by capturing a real record, running another real
    cycle, putting the old one back and observing refusal.
  * the "inputs missing, not yet stale" hold returns BEFORE the allocator
    runs, exactly so one dropped meter reading does not zero the inverter,
    and the heartbeat re-affirms self.target through this same gate while it
    does. A tick incremented per loop iteration would refuse that heartbeat
    and turn the hold into the outage it exists to prevent. Graded.

An UNSTAMPED record (tick None) authorises nothing: "I cannot say when I was
made" fails closed rather than reading as tick zero.

THE FAILSAFE CANNOT DEADLOCK BEHIND THE GATE, AND HERE IS WHY
=============================================================
write_setpoint() is also how layer 2 commands 0 W. cycle()'s two refusal
branches substitute a 0 W failsafe and write it like any other cycle;
shutdown() and the operator's stop button do the same. EVERY ONE OF THOSE
RUNS WHILE THE ALLOCATOR HAS REFUSED - ok is False and there are no shares -
so a gate that asked the allocator's permission to command zero would block
the safety write behind the very component whose failure the safety write
answers. A gate that can do that is worse than the hole it closes.

Resolved by authorising 0 W unconditionally, and on the VALUE rather than on
a failsafe=True flag: a flag is an assertion by the caller, which is exactly
what a second writer would pass; the value is a fact about what will be
written. The argument that this is safe and not merely convenient is that the
hazard §1.5 names is N-times loop gain from BROADCAST - handing every inverter
the same target so each supplies it in full (allocator.py's opening argument;
TEST-19 measured a permanent 4000 W p2p limit cycle at gain 1.0 with no guard
firing). At S = 0 the broadcast and the correct allocation COINCIDE: a_i = 1
for every unit gives every unit 0 W, which is exactly its share. There is no
over-command to make at zero. Said at the line, in write_refusal().

test_clamp.py part 7c drives it end to end through the real cycle() and the
real REFUSE_EMPTY branch: the allocator refuses every tick, the device still
sees 0 W, and the action log says ARBITER: REFUSED rather than WRITE REFUSED
so the two failures stay distinguishable to whoever has to debug them.

unmet_w IS STILL NOT ok
=======================
The gate reads ok and the unit's share and never unmet_w. allocator.py:179
says why: an allocation that could not place every watt is still safe to
write, and fusing them would let one saturated inverter park the whole site.
Graded on a record with 3800 W unmet and every share legal - mutation M5 adds
`or self.unmet_w` to the gate and that check goes red.

THE CONFIG CHECK, REPLACED RATHER THAN DELETED
==============================================
actuator_writers() counts WRITERS PER ACTUATOR instead of option keys. It
walks the options TREE rather than looking for a container called `inverters`,
because CFG-04 has not chosen that name yet and a census that guessed wrong
would go green while two writers existed - the same defect one step along.
Entity ids are folded to lower case so a second writer cannot be smuggled in
as Number.X versus number.x.

Two inverters with two entities are ACCEPTED - that is what the per-inverter
roster is for, and a validator that refuses the feature it guards is one
somebody switches off. Two declarations aimed at ONE entity are refused,
naming the actuator and every writer pointed at it. That includes the case an
author will meet first - keeping setpoint_entity as A's and listing A again -
because "they happen to be the same entity, so it is fine" is precisely the
reasoning that makes two writers invisible.

ACTUATOR_WRITE_KEYS survives ONLY as the enumeration a census needs, with its
guarantee comment deleted; nothing asserts on its length any more. Keeping the
name is also what stops admin/goodwe's current two_writers scenario failing on
an AttributeError between the two merges.

WHAT NEITHER CHECK OBSERVES, SAID OUT LOUD
==========================================
The census sees CONFIGURED writers. A second write path added in CODE - a
hass.set_number() call next to some new strategy - declares nothing and is
invisible to it, exactly as it was invisible to the tuple. That half is not
closed at startup and cannot be; it is closed at runtime by the record gate,
which does not care what the options look like or who called the method. The
two checks are deliberately different kinds, and only the runtime one survives
a schema this file has not seen yet.

EVIDENCE
========
* Full 18-file suite green on a purged tree (tools/mutation_run.sh).
* Verified by breaking it - seven mutations, each on a purged tree, each
  reverted and re-verified:
    M1 remove the gate                -> test_clamp red (4 checks)
    M2 make the zero exit an amnesty  -> test_clamp red (12 checks)
    M3 drop the tick comparison       -> test_clamp red (5 checks)
    M4 delete the census refusal      -> test_validate red (3 checks)
    M5 fuse unmet_w into ok           -> test_clamp red (1 check)
    M6 freeze the tick on the live path -> test_clamp red (2 checks)
    M7 move the gate below the clamp  -> test_clamp red (9 checks)
* AC 5: no existing check was weakened. The two edits to test_clamp.py are
  fixtures, not assertions - parts 5 and 6c call write_setpoint() directly
  with a number nothing allocated, which is now refused, so they say where
  their number came from. Every assertion in both parts is unchanged, and
  part 7f asserts that across part 3's sixty real cycles the gate refused
  zero writes.
* admin/goodwe's TEST-19 norig scenarios (planner_binding, two_master_plant,
  two_master_broadcast) still pass against this tree - they import the
  add-on's control law across the repo boundary.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 d5b1ef19b3 CFG-03: give maintenance option defaults one source of truth
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 3m44s
Option defaults for the maintenance cycle were declared in three places that
could disagree, and MAINT-04 proved they already did. config.yaml shipped
`maintenance_charge_w: 2000`; main.py carried TWO `opts.get(..., 2500)`
fallbacks; MaintConfig's dataclass carried a third `2500.0`. So an options dict
with the key ABSENT was ACCEPTED by validate.py's rule 6 - which read 2000 -
and then built by main.py at 2500, against a 2000 W ceiling:

    options dict with maintenance_charge_w ABSENT, max_w=2000
      validate_startup_config  ->  []  (accepted, no problems)
      MaintConfig().charge_w   ->  2500.0
      arbiter.resolve()        ->  0.0 W, contradiction=True

That is the bug rule 6 exists to refuse, passing rule 6. It is unreachable on a
Supervisor install, which always supplies every key from config.yaml, and fully
reachable from sim/inject.py and from the test suite - which is where anyone
debugging maintenance actually works.

MAINT-04 shipped a TRIPWIRE and said so: test_validate.py pinned all three
literals and asserted the consequence through the real arbiter, so the
divergence could not silently widen or be half-closed. Its PASSING CONDITION
WAS THE BUG. Both it and validate.py's comment said to delete each other when
the divergence was closed. It is closed, so both are deleted.

THE DIVERGENCE WAS WIDER THAN ONE KEY. `maintenance_discharge_w` had the
identical three-way split (config.yaml 2000, MaintConfig 2500) and the card
named only the charge side. Closing one and leaving its twin would have
satisfied the numbers and left three sources of truth one line down, which is
the state that produced the bug. Both are closed, and so is the whole family:
all eight `maintenance_*` keys go through the same mechanism.

WHAT THE SINGLE SOURCE IS. config.yaml's `options:` block - it is what the
Supervisor reads and what the operator edits, so it wins by definition. There
is now exactly one in-code copy, `maintenance.MAINT_OPTION_DEFAULTS`, which is
TARIFF-02's `PRICE_OPTION_DEFAULTS` and SAFETY-24's `PEAK_OPTION_DEFAULTS`
pattern applied to the family that named the card - validate.py's rule 8 comment
already called that "CFG-03 read as a rule rather than as a complaint", so this
makes the rule hold where it was first broken rather than inventing a fourth
mechanism for one option family.

A MIRROR RATHER THAN A RUNTIME READ, and the reason is mechanical: the
Dockerfile copies `app/` and `run.sh` into the image and NOT config.yaml. The
running add-on cannot open the file it is configured by, so there is nothing to
read at 03:00 on a client's Pi, and a YAML-subset parser that could fail at
import is a new way for the add-on not to start. What makes the copy safe is
that test_maintenance.py pins every entry by READING the shipped file - drift is
a CI failure, not a comment.

EVERY OTHER SITE NOW DERIVES FROM IT OR HAS CEASED TO EXIST:

  * MaintConfig's eight dataclass defaults are indexed out of the mirror. No
    numeric literal survives in the class that held the third opinion.
  * `MaintConfig.from_options()` is the ONLY place in the add-on that reads a
    `maintenance_*` option. main.py's eight inline `opts.get(key, <literal>)`
    calls are gone: moving the read next to the mirror means the fallback cannot
    be anything but the mirror, because there is no literal in sight of it to
    disagree with. It uses `key in opts` rather than truthiness, so a shipped
    `false` or `0` is honoured instead of being quietly replaced by the default
    - this card's own bug in a different costume.
  * main.py's SECOND fallback site - the cheap-window charge floor at the
    P_MAINT_SHAPE claim - reads `self.maint.cfg.charge_w` instead of re-opening
    the options dict with its own literal. The Controller had already parsed
    this once in __init__; asking the object that owns it cannot drift from it,
    and the rate the shaping asks for can no longer be a different number from
    the rate the state machine drains at on the same install.
  * validate.py's rule 6 and its `maintenance_discharge_w` warning take their
    fallbacks from the mirror.

WHERE THE RANGE LIVES, STATED AND CHECKED. config.yaml's `schema:` block carries
`maintenance_charge_w: int(500,5000)` - a fourth declaration site of a different
kind. It is a BOUND, not a default, so it is not this bug; but leaving the
question open is how a fifth site arrives. The decision recorded in config.yaml
and in maintenance.py is: bounds live in the schema block ONLY, because the
Supervisor is what enforces them and the Supervisor reads only that file, so a
Python copy of `int(500,5000)` would be a place to disagree and nothing else.
test_maintenance.py checks both halves of that: every mirrored key must have a
schema entry - without one the Supervisor drops the option and the add-on
silently runs on the mirror instead of the operator's value - and every shipped
default must lie INSIDE its own range, since a default the schema rejects is a
config that cannot be re-entered once it is edited. What the schema grammar
cannot express is a relation BETWEEN keys (`maintenance_charge_w` against
`max_w`), which is exactly why rule 6 is written in Python and why it does not
belong in the mirror either.

THE REPLACEMENT CHECKS, AND HOW THEY WERE VERIFIED. test_validate.py's new
section exercises the same four consumers the defect ran through, the same way:
the validator ACCEPTS a dict with every maintenance key missing; a REAL
Controller built from that same dict holds 2000 W (through main.py, not through
a regex over its source); `MaintConfig()` answers 2000 W with no dict at all;
and the real arbiter emits `-2000 W, limited by supervised(max_w)` instead of
`0 W, contradiction=True`. test_maintenance.py pins the mirror to config.yaml in
both directions - equal values, and full coverage of every `maintenance_*` key
the file ships, so a ninth key cannot arrive unmirrored - and asserts the
consumers move as a RELATION rather than against numbers, reading MaintConfig's
defaults back out of `dataclasses.fields()`.

Each new check was verified by BREAKING the thing it watches and observing red,
this project's rule:

  1. config.yaml -> 1500, mirror left at 2000:  test_maintenance 1 FAILED,
     test_validate 4 FAILED.
  2. config.yaml AND the mirror -> 1500: green again, and every consumer moved
     together - MaintConfig() 1500 W, the Controller 1500 W, and the arbiter
     `-1500 W, limited by maintenance(cheap-window charge)` where it had said
     `-2000 W, limited by supervised(max_w)`. That is AC4: change the single
     source and watch the consumers follow.
  3. `charge_w: float = 2500.0` retyped into the dataclass: 2 FAILED in each of
     the two files.
  4. `opts.get("maintenance_charge_w", 2500)` restored in main.py: 1 FAILED,
     naming the file and the literal it found.
  5. `maintenance_hold_min` deleted from config.yaml's options block: 3 FAILED.

Full suite 17/17 in goodwe-addon-ci, twice, once under parallel load.

Stale prose that asserted the now-closed divergence as current is corrected in
app/watchdog.py, test_watchdog.py and test_peakguard.py - watchdog.py's example
still uses 1500 W, but because the point of the example is a charge strictly
inside the ceiling, not because 2500 is what ships.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 611d3dbcdf TEST-06 review follow-ups: two notification surfaces, the real ordering boundary, the schema bounds
1. notes_of() could not tell this guard's alarm from anybody else's. It
   selected by SERVICE, so against #12's app/ (which adds
   goodwe_output_clamp) eight assertions went red, AC1's core check among
   them. Blanket id-keying is not the repair and was measured, not
   guessed:

       selector                    vs #12's app/   id renamed
       by service (as committed)     8 red           1 red
       by id alone                   3 red           6 red
       by id or title (shipped)      3 red           1 red

   all_notes_of() is the whole surface; notes_of() is this guard's,
   recognised by the id it should carry OR the title it writes - the `or`
   is what keeps the one assertion whose subject IS the id able to fail on
   its own. The three surface-wide claims stay surface-wide, each with a
   comment naming which surface it is about and why the next guard's
   author must decide rather than narrow them. They are the three that go
   red against #12, which is the correct signal.

2. The ordering comment named the wrong boundary. N3 - moving the call to
   immediately before write_setpoint() - is green and correctly so:
   self.target is assigned two lines earlier, write_setpoint() clamps only
   a local and can skip the write entirely. So the invariant is "after
   `self.target = resolution.target_w`", and the detector grades pre-clamp
   INTENT, not the wire. Corrected in test_freeze.py and in main.py's own
   note above the call (comment-only; I merge second and own the
   conflict). N8 - moving the call above the assignment - is RED 4.

3. The schema range's own bounds are now pinned. int(60,3600) ->
   int(1,86400) survived green: an operator could set meter_freeze_s:
   86400 and the guard is dead with nothing red. Both bounds are
   re-derived rather than restated.

4. find_hwsim() crashed the whole suite on a checkout one level below the
   root (HERE.parents[1] -> IndexError, reproduced at C:/goodwe_controller).
   Guarded. And part 3 now names its transport in the summary: the rig
   hwsim and the stub are not equivalent - the rig path failed 1 run in 3
   - so a green log has to say which one backed it.

Also: the "revived transport re-rails" check is labelled a PRECONDITION
like its sibling; freeze_rows() records that flipping p1_enabled exercises
the row's content and never its gate; and the note about the deleted
assertion is corrected - it was REDUNDANT, not undecidable. The reviewer
falsified it in one line (move the hass.call above `if not fired: return`,
RED 9). "I could not construct a falsifier, therefore it cannot fail" was
exactly the inference this file exists to distrust.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 c34b5a2922 TEST-06: close the three gaps that survived SAFETY-18's suite green
None of the three is a bug in the shipped code. They are gaps in what the
suite could detect, and the next person to touch freeze.py had less
protection than the passing count implied.

1. WHERE check_meter_frozen() runs in cycle(). Moving it to the top left
   the whole file green. Pinned by CONSEQUENCE, not by source order, so a
   refactor that keeps the semantics stays green:
     - the alarm must land on the SAME cycle the command reaches the rail
       (at the top it grades the previous command against this cycle's
       meter and arrives a cycle late);
     - the dead-poll-task composition: poll task dies, stale_input_s is
       crossed, the arbiter commands 0 W, and on THAT cycle the alarm is
       already clear - because the detector ran after the 0 W write.
   wired() now returns a per-cycle trace, which is what makes "on which
   cycle" an observation rather than a hope.

2. The NOT COVERED status row. The old check only asserted that an
   uncovered transport is SILENT, which a page claiming `armed` on a guard
   that cannot run also satisfies. The string is now asserted in both
   directions: the uncovered row must say NOT COVERED, name the
   meter_source and homewizard_local, and warn; the covered row must still
   say armed, or "does not say armed" would be satisfied by deleting the
   armed branch.

3. meter_freeze_s. Pinned in test_validate.py by MAINT-04's regex
   technique (no PyYAML in the image), and in test_freeze.py by its
   consequences: the shipped value drives the replays, must stay inside
   the 900 s billing quarter, and 3600/hold_s must stay inside the shipped
   deadband. A Controller built with the key ABSENT must land on the same
   number, which pins main.py's fallback without touching CFG-03.

All three demonstrated red before being accepted green, and every new
check was mutated to confirm it can fail; one candidate assertion ("no new
notification while parked at 0 W") was DELETED because no mutation could
break it, and replaced by the exact notification count across a revived
transport, which can.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 ffb8ec6373 MAINT-04 review: pin the default divergence with a check, not a comment
validate.py's comment said "if config.yaml's value moves, move this and
main.py's together" and nothing enforced it - a comment where a check
belonged, in a PR that elsewhere proves it knows the difference.

test_validate.py now reads main.py and maintenance.py directly and asserts
the divergence EXACTLY AS IT STANDS: config.yaml/validate.py at 2000,
main.py's two fallbacks and MaintConfig's dataclass default at 2500. It
records the mismatch rather than demanding it be closed, so it passes today
and goes red if either side moves - including when somebody closes it in
main.py, at which point the check and validate.py's block are deleted
together. Nothing in a file another ticket owns is touched.

The consequence is asserted through the real code as well as the literals:
with the key absent the validator accepts, MaintConfig builds 2500 W against
a 2000 W ceiling, and the arbiter resolves it to 0 W as a contradiction -
the bug rule 6 exists to catch, passing rule 6. Production-unreachable (the
Supervisor always supplies every key) but fully reachable from sim/inject.py
and the tests, which is where anyone debugging maintenance works.

Also: a CHANGELOG section for the upgrade path, covering both the case where
the Supervisor re-derives the default and the case where it persisted the
old one, since which applies was not verifiable without probing the live
install. And maintenance.py's timeout comment said 13.5 kWh where everything
else says 13.8 (300 Ah x 51.2 V, DoD 90); SAFETY-18 does not touch that file.

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 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 547d796c5d CFG-01 review: widen the rule, refuse the firmware-veto case, fix the stop footgun
Review findings, all confirmed in code before changing anything.

THE RULE DID NOT AUTHORISE ITS OWN BEST REFUSAL. The stated test was
"makes a safety mechanism inoperative, or makes a stated limit untrue",
and a blank setpoint_entity does neither - layer 1 pinning the inverter
at 0 W is the failsafe WORKING, as validate.py's own text admitted. The
real justification is a second, separate category: the add-on is inert
and indistinguishable from healthy. Stated as (a) and (b), with each
refusal tagged, and with both halves explicitly bounded - (a) is not
"any two numbers that could disagree", (b) is not "anything degraded".
Left implicit, the gap is where trivia-creep comes back in.

meter_max_age_s ABOVE THE FIRMWARE'S VETO IS NOW REFUSED. The schema
allows int(5,300); the firmware's threshold is a compile-time
`max_age_s: "30"` and it trips layer 1 at `p1_age_s >= 30`. At 120 the
add-on believes a 119 s reading is fresh and keeps commanding while the
board has already vetoed and is holding at 0 W - healthy meter, running
controller, nothing moving. Structurally identical to the max_w case,
and unlike max_w it is settable on this install, so the headline
behaviour finally has a live demonstration. That firmware file's own
comment says a lower bound on this "belongs in CFG-01, not here".

Only ABOVE is refused: below the veto the add-on gives up first, which
is fail-safe and visible on its own status page. Scoped to P1 being
enabled, because meter_max_age_s governs nothing otherwise.
FIRMWARE_INGEST_VETO_S cannot be imported from a compile-time YAML
substitution, so it carries a note on the single direction in which it
can go stale - and a warning that TEL-06 is editing `ingest_stale`, so a
matching integer may stop meaning a matching rule.

stop= WAS A LIVE FOOTGUN. It defaulted to None, which made a Controller
that cannot stop itself the DEFAULT one. On the late-refusal path that
meant: log the banner, return, and leave the process alive forever with
no control loop and no exit - the exact "inert but looks healthy"
failure this module exists to refuse. Now required and keyword-only, so
the broken shape does not construct; test_p1.py's five call sites pass
an Event.

That whole path had no test and no live demo. It has one now: it drives
run_control() against a device that only reports a narrower range once
the loop starts, and asserts it refuses, signals, returns, and writes
NOTHING - plus the converse, that an agreeing device leads to real
writes. This also covers the max_w composition that cannot be reached
through the Supervisor on the live install.

max_w <= 0 is refused. Schema-blocked in production, but
validate_startup_config() is the simulation suite's entry point too, and
a non-positive max_w inverts the arbiter's supervised bounds into a
contradiction that reads as a safety trip rather than a typo.

Verified live 2026-08-28 (backup goodwe_controller-cfg01r2-1787940076):
meter_max_age_s 120 refused with a message naming 120, 30, and THE
FIRMWARE WINS; no traceback; add-on restored byte-exact and running.

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5 fc9bd89dca CFG-01: refuse to start on a configuration that cannot be honoured
main.py used to read the setpoint device's own +-5000 W rating, notice a
configured max_w above it, log one WARNING, and run anyway with
write_setpoint() quietly clamping. The operator's stated ceiling was never
the real ceiling and the only evidence had scrolled off the log. specs
§1.5 is explicit that such a config is refused at startup, not survived at
runtime.

validate_startup_config() runs in amain() before the broker, the web
server or any task exists, so a refusal cannot leave half a controller
running behind a UI. It refuses exactly three things, all sharing one
property - continuing makes a safety mechanism inoperative or makes a
stated limit untrue:

  1. max_w outside the setpoint device's own rating.
  2. No setpoint_entity: every write is a no-op, the device rating is
     never read, and the ESP32 heartbeat that holds off the layer-1
     failsafe never happens. It ran, looked healthy, and moved nothing.
  3. A meter_source that can never produce a reading. These were already
     caught, but they only DISABLED ingestion, which leaves grid None
     forever: permanent inputs-missing, 0 W, and a status page
     indistinguishable from a healthy meter nobody has fed yet.

Those last predicates move into p1.validate_meter_options(), which
build_source() also calls - one definition, two callers, not two
competing validators. ha_dsmr with half its entities and mqtt_p1 with a
blank topic gained the check the other two transports already had.

Deliberately not refused, because untidy is not unsafe: integrator_max_w
above max_w (the arbiter still bounds the wire to +-max_w, so the cost is
unwind latency - warned), a missing soc/batt entity (fail-safe and
already a red NOT READY banner), a setpoint entity that has not appeared
on the Core API yet (ESPHome is routinely late; re-checked in
run_control() once the real rating arrives), and a thin meter_poll_s
margin.

A refusal is legible as one: a banner saying in words that this is
configuration and nothing is broken, numbered problems, no traceback, and
exit 78 (EX_CONFIG).

Verified on the live add-on 2026-08-28, not by reading the code: a blank
setpoint_entity and a meter_poll_s equal to meter_max_age_s each stopped
the add-on with the banner and no stack trace.
