SAFETY-41: escalate a sustained engagement, so a runaway is never held

Review found the case I asked it to construct, and it is not a corner
case. The rate limit alone DELAYS A RUNAWAY: a benign one-cycle clamp
that spends the budget, then a continuous §10.3-shaped runaway, held the
runaway's first notification for up to 140 s - one REASSERT_S minus a
cycle. On the live install, where ordinary railing spends the budget
essentially all the time, a runaway arriving during normal operation
would be delayed with near-certainty. That is the "benign noise
suppresses the bug signal" shape this module's docstring is written
against, and the family the first attempt at this card died of.

THE ESCALATION. An episode that has not yet spoken because an EARLIER,
unrelated episode spent the budget speaks anyway once it has engaged
SUSTAINED_CYCLES = 3 times in a row. The discriminator is run length and
the two populations genuinely differ: the live flood was runs of length
ONE (engage, de-assert, engage), while a runaway engages every cycle.

Measured, and it costs nothing it was protecting:
  live scatter flood (305 cycles, 1-in-6)   11 -> 11 notifications
  chatter 1-engaged/3-clean over 8000 s     50 -> 50 notifications
  pinned 900 s quarter (floor is 5)          6 ->  6 alarms
  runaway delay after a benign episode     140 s -> 10 s

⚠️ MY COUNTERFACTUAL CHECK COULD NOT FAIL FOR THE DEFECT IT NAMED, and
review caught that too. It read `ClampWatchdog().note(True, ...) is True`
- a FRESH object, which only exercises the `last_alarm is None` branch,
the trivially-true one. A fresh watchdog has no earlier episode to be
held back BY. It now SPENDS THE BUDGET FIRST: benign clamp, gap past
CLEAR_CYCLES, then a continuous runaway, and asserts the delay is well
under REASSERT_S. That is the third instance in this file of the family
recorded at line 216 and at the 224 s sweep, and it was guarding the most
safety-critical property in the change.

Also pinned: `last_alarm` SURVIVING the de-assert. Review built the
mutation - if the de-assert also refreshed it, chatter collapses from 50
notifications to 1 and the alarm never fires again, with the suite green.
That is the "alarm that never fires" class, a different bug from one that
fires later. Now caught.

Both new checks verified against the mutations they name: removing the
escalation -> 1 FAILED; refreshing last_alarm on de-assert -> 1 FAILED.

Full suite: 21 passed, 0 failed.

 ## Unreleased
 
+**Inverter B gets its own MQTT device, and inverter A keeps the one it has
+(TEL-07).** MQTT discovery announced **one** device, and every entity hung off
+one `unique_id` prefix, so at two inverters B's per-unit telemetry had nowhere
+to go. It has one now — **without touching a single entity that already
+exists.**
+
+* **⭐ A's discovery payloads are byte-identical to `release/1.0`.** Same topics,
+  same `unique_id`s, same payload bytes, same retain flags, in the same order —
+  verified by **diffing the announced payloads**, not by reading the code:
+  `9 topics, 0 missing, 0 changed, 0 added` at a roster of one, and
+  `0 missing, 0 changed, 8 added` at a roster of two. That is what protects the
+  live install's recorded history and the three watchdog automations that name
+  its entities.
+* **⚠️ THE ASYMMETRY IS DELIBERATE — DO NOT "CLEAN IT UP".** The first roster
+  entry's per-unit rows go 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
+  system — 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 goes on pointing at a sensor that
+  quietly stopped updating. The composed ids come out symmetric anyway
+  (`sensor.goodwe_inverter_a_battery_power` /
+  `sensor.goodwe_inverter_b_battery_power`).
+* **Four per-unit rows** — setpoint, battery power, SoC and the 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,
+  asserted rather than assumed.
+* **Site-scoped sensors stay site-scoped.** `grid` and `p1_sample_age_s` are
+  announced **once**, on A's device, at every roster length 1–6. There is one P1
+  and one grid connection, and `p1_sample_age_s` is a **watchdog input** — a
+  second copy is a second answer to "is the meter fresh?", one of which is
+  always the one nobody is looking at. Circulating power, controller status,
+  maintenance phase and the capacity-tariff peak are site for the same reason.
+* **`inverter.roster_names()`** is now the one answer to "what are the units
+  called", read by `build_roster()` **and** by the publisher — which has to know
+  the roster **before** a `Controller` exists, because announcing happens on the
+  broker's CONNACK.
+* **`test_mqtt.py`**, a new suite: the recorded `release/1.0` baseline
+  (generated by running that commit's module, not transcribed), the payload
+  diffs, the composed entity ids modelled **independently** of `app/mqtt.py` and
+  anchored on the one id verified against the live system
+  (`sensor.goodwe_p1_sample_age`), the announcement-vs-publication agreement on
+  a real `Controller` with **different** SoC, battery sign and latch state on
+  the two units, and **twelve mutations of the shipped module, all red, each on
+  a named property**.
+* **MEASURED, NOT ASSERTED.** Three of those properties exist because the
+  mutation 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. So was a roster fallback that named two
+  nameless entries `inverter-a`. Sixteen mutations were run through
+  `tools/mutation_run.sh`; the survivors are enumerated **with their size** in
+  `test_mqtt.py` part 9.
+* ⚠️ **Inverter B does not physically exist** (~2026-09-12). Every fixture here
+  is **simulated**, from the datasheet and serial in `NOTES.md` §1.1b. Nothing
+  in this card was measured on a second inverter.
+
+**The add-on configuration screen now speaks English and Dutch instead of raw
+option keys (UX-01).** There was no `translations/` directory at all, so Home
+Assistant fell back to rendering the 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. **This card changes presentation only: not one default, not
+one range and not one line of behaviour moved.**
+
+* **`translations/en.yaml` and `translations/nl.yaml`**, with a `name` and a
+  `description` for **all 70 options** and for **all 7 per-entry keys** of the
+  `inverters:` repeatable section. The Dutch is written for a Flemish
+  homeowner rather than transliterated: *afname* and *injectie*, *kwartierpiek*
+  and *capaciteitstarief*, *laadniveau*, *uitschakelgrens* — the words that are
+  on the bill and on the meter.
+* **⭐ EVERY DERIVED CONSTANT SAYS WHERE IT CAME FROM AND WHETHER TO TOUCH IT.**
+  `unit_sign_disagree_s` now reads *"derived from 1890 closed-loop test runs
+  (SAFETY-30): 85 s is 8.5 times the worst legitimate opposition those runs
+  produce… do not change it without re-deriving"*; `circulation_w` cites its 924
+  runs and the measured 400 W knee; `meter_freeze_s` cites the 2399 s capture;
+  `bms_soc_floor` says it is register `0x0560` read off the pack. The two
+  numbers that are genuinely the operator's — `max_w` and `peak_cap_w` — say
+  **"THIS IS YOUR NUMBER"** instead, and `cycle_cost_threshold_eur`, which is
+  neither measured nor the operator's, admits it is an open product question
+  (OPT-08) rather than borrowing the others' authority.
+* **`config.yaml` reordered into task order** — hardware/entities → meter →
+  ratings and limits → tariff → maintenance → safety → advanced — in **both**
+  halves, with every comment carried with its key. ⚠️ The rendered order is the
+  **`schema:`** half's (`App.schema_ui` is `UiOptions(...)(data["schema"])`);
+  the `options:` half is reordered to match so the file reads the way the tab
+  renders. ⚠️ **`test_inverter.py` part 12's first-match trap is preserved**:
+  the nested per-entry `max_w:` still appears BEFORE 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 and it was run: red in
+  `test_inverter.py` and in `test_translations.py`.
+* **MEASURED, NOT ASSERTED.** `tools/supervisor_shape_probe.py` gains a section
+  F that loads both files with Supervisor 2026.08.0's *own*
+  `_read_app_translations()` out of the release image (a file that fails
+  `SCHEMA_APP_TRANSLATIONS` is **dropped with a log warning and nothing else**),
+  runs its own `UiOptions`, replays the frontend's label resolution transcribed
+  from the shipped bundle, and prints every rendered row in both languages.
+* **⚠️ ONE MEASURED NEGATIVE RESULT, RECORDED RATHER THAN GLOSSED.** The
+  per-entry keys inside the `inverters:` repeatable section still render RAW.
+  `_convertSchemaElement` sends `type: "schema"` **with** `multiple` to
+  `ha-selector-object`, which labels its fields `fields[name].label || name`,
+  and the converter sets neither `label` nor `translation_key`. The `fields:`
+  translations are shipped and validated because that is the shape Supervisor's
+  own schema defines for exactly this, and a frontend that wires `label` through
+  would consume them — but on 20250925.1 they do not reach the screen, and this
+  card does not claim they do. The `inverters` label and description themselves
+  do.
+* **A new check, `test_translations.py`, so this cannot rot.** A translation key
+  naming an option that does not exist, or an option with no translation, fails
+  CI — in both directions, for both languages, top-level and per-entry. It is
+  **mutation-tested both ways**: eleven mutations applied in-process, each
+  required to NAME the key it broke rather than merely to go red, plus a
+  negative control that the unmutated input is clean. 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
+  validates each translation file through `SCHEMA_APP_TRANSLATIONS` and, on
+  refusal, **logs a warning and drops all of it**, 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. Six more were run **on disk**, through the
+  purge-and-re-read protocol: deleting a translation (−65 B), renaming an option
+  in `config.yaml` (+4 B), adding an orphan key (+47 B), emptying a Dutch
+  description (−711 B), breaking one label's group prefix (−4 B) and deleting a
+  provenance citation (−19 B) each go red.
+* **The parser has a licence.** There is no PyYAML in the add-on's CI image, so
+  `tools/translations_lint.py` reads these files by hand — and a hand parser
+  that quietly disagrees with the real loader is the defect this repository
+  keeps finding. The probe imports **that same module** and asserts, key by key
+  and string by string, that it returns what `_read_app_translations()` returns.
+  The parser is deliberately strict and **raises** on anything outside the
+  subset; nine malformed shapes are fed to it to prove it does.
+* **⚠️ WHAT THIS CHECK CANNOT SEE, stated with its size.** It grades coverage
+  and provenance *citations*, not truth. Falsifying a figure inside a
+  description that is not one of the cited tokens survives (run: *"8.5 times"* →
+  *"3 times"*, −2 B, green), and swapping two options' descriptions survives
+  (0 B, green). Separately and out of this card's scope: changing a shipped
+  default that no suite pins survives — `step_w: 10` → `20` (0 B) leaves
+  `test_control.py`, `test_clamp.py`, `test_validate.py` and
+  `test_peakguard.py` green. That is the same family as CFG-04's DEFECT 2 and
+  the UX-01 rescope moved it to its own card on purpose.
+
+**Inverter B's rating is 4600 W, FROM ITS DATASHEET, and every documented copy
+of it now says so (SPIKE-04a).** Three places stated 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 that
+was never measured, never read off a datasheet, and simply wrong. 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**. No control
+behaviour changes here; this is documentation and its pin.
+
+* **Serial characters 6-8 read `ESU`** → platform 105, AA55, the supported set.
+  Not `ESN`/`ESC` (ES G2, platform 745). SPIKE-01 does not gate this site.
+  ⚠️ A passed platform gate is **not** a proven control surface: `specs.md`
+  already calls other platform-105 serials *"same protocol family; untested
+  silicon"*, and this repo's `0x056E`/`0x056F` map was reverse-engineered from a
+  passive tap on **one BPS unit**. That check is the bench half of SPIKE-04.
+* **⚠️ 4600 W IS FROM A DATASHEET AND IS NOT A MEASUREMENT, and 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
+  4600 × 0.94 ≈ **4324 W**, and the charge direction moves the other way
+  (≈ 4894 W drawn AC-side). **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 to 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: they must be
+  findable, they must agree, and they must say **4600**. It also grades the
+  **provenance beside the number** — the datasheet it came from, the `0x0518`
+  it is graded against, and the 4324 W the DC reading would make it — **within
+  2500 characters of the roster, not file-wide.** The first version searched
+  whole files and was already vacuous on two of them, because `0x0518` appeared
+  in `config.yaml` and `DOCS.md` for unrelated reasons before this card: a
+  check whose data could not reach the failure it named, in the file that
+  exists to complain about those. Four mutations were run against the fixed
+  version — the probe back to 3000 (0-byte delta), the `DOCS.md` caveat
+  deleted, `config.yaml` alone "corrected" to 4324 (0-byte delta), and the
+  probe's entity renamed so the regex finds nothing — and all four are red.
+* **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 the defect `test_peakguard.py`'s own §10g precondition exists to prevent.
+  They are **illustrative, not B's rating, and no longer a placeholder for it**.
+* **Two consequences with numbers, recorded in `goodwe/NOTES.md` §1.1b for the
+  cards that own them.** At 94 % battery-to-AC a round trip is ≈ 88 %, so A
+  charging 3 kW while B discharges 3 kW burns ≈ **360 W continuously** with the
+  meter at zero — SAFETY-31 argues its threshold from *"a few watts"* and has no
+  figure. And **< 13 W night self-consumption per unit** (≈ 26 W for two,
+  ≈ 0.6 kWh/day), which nothing in this add-on accounts for anywhere.
+* **The site is asymmetric in opposite directions:** A = 5000 W / 15.36 kWh
+  nominal, B = 4600 W / 20.48 kWh — ~33 % more energy, ~8 % less power. No
+  stability implication (ARCH-01's ḡ = Σαᵢgᵢ is a convex combination), but a
+  full recalibration of B moves 33 % more energy and **MAINT-05's 12 h `drain`
+  phase timeout was derived on A**; it should be re-checked against B rather
+  than assumed to carry.
+
 **Every pack is recalibrated on its own schedule, and only one moves power at a
 time (MAINT-05).** §12's monthly cycle drains a pack to empty and refills it to
 true its coulomb counter. There was exactly one `Maintenance` state machine and

   is loop and allocator territory. Pinned as a running check
   (`test_maintenance.py` part 12) so it cannot be forgotten.
 
+**`bms_soc_floor` describes a BATTERY, so at two packs it stops being one number
+(SAFETY-32).** The peak guard's energy backstop rests on two figures: the EMS
+floor `peak_soc_floor` (the depth a money-saving discharge may never reach) and
+`bms_soc_floor`, the percent **that pack's own BMS** cuts out at — register
+`0x0560`, read as 10 on the reference GW5000S-BP. Rule 8 refuses an EMS floor at
+or below the cut-out, because such a floor can never bind: the BMS wins and the
+status page reports a backstop that does not exist. With ONE cut-out for two
+packs of different models that rule graded the EMS floor against whichever
+battery happened to be written into the flat key, and a site with cut-outs of
+10 % and 30 % under `peak_soc_floor: 20` **started** — the guard would then
+command a forced discharge that pack B's BMS, not the operator's floor, is the
+thing that stops. Rule 8's own failure mode, reached through rule 8.
+
+* **`bms_soc_floor` becomes a per-entry roster key, and it is REQUIRED there.**
+  Nothing is inherited: an entry that omits it has no cut-out, does not borrow
+  the flat one, and is refused by name at startup. A per-entry *default* was
+  considered and declined — a default is one number for every pack, which is the
+  defect this card removes; `DECISIONS/SAFETY-32-per-pack-bms-floor.md` records
+  the decision and its migration cost. The flat key is unchanged and is now
+  documented as the single-inverter shape's own cut-out.
+* **Rule 8 grades EVERY unit and NAMES the one it refuses**, through a new
+  `unit_bms_floors_indexed()` that carries the **roster** index the value came
+  off. CFG-04 had just fixed a rule 5/6 bug of exactly this shape — a caps-list
+  index fed to a function that indexes the roster, so the message named the wrong
+  inverter — and this reader skips nothing, so there is no second list for an
+  index to desynchronise from. Graded on a roster whose offender is the SECOND
+  entry *and* on the same two numbers in the other order.
+* **The permission is answered PER PACK.** `Controller.pack_floor_soc` — the
+  emptiest measured pack — is untouched and is still what `decide()` grades;
+  what changed is the floor. `peakguard.pack_permissions()` answers one
+  `(name, reason)` per pack against that pack's own floor, and the floor-limited
+  notification now names the pack that stopped the site rather than "the
+  battery". At a roster of one the alarm is byte-for-byte what SAFETY-25 shipped.
+* **An unstated cut-out withholds rather than defaults.** `None`, not `0.0` —
+  `discharge_permitted()` already treats an unknown floor as no permission, so
+  the absence costs a shave and never a pack, including on `sim/inject.py`'s path
+  which does not run the startup gate.
+* ⚠️ **Stated rather than hidden:** under any config rule 8 accepts, the per-pack
+  *floor* reduces to `peak_soc_floor` for every pack — rule 8 makes it so. The
+  reduction is written for `unit_caps_indexed()`'s reason ("unreachable" is a
+  claim about rule ordering, not a property of a function) and is graded on both
+  sides: 1775 rule-8-valid `(peak_soc_floor, bms_soc_floor)` pairs answer the
+  option, and the pair rule 8 refuses answers the cut-out. `peak_soc_floor`
+  itself is still one number for the site, so the "deeper pack needlessly
+  withheld" half is filed as an open question, not closed.
+* **`tools/supervisor_shape_probe.py` re-run and repaired.** MUTATION.md habit 8:
+  a committed transcript is a check and it decays. 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 per
+  case, asserting the key **name** in the refusal — `all cases passed` on
+  `amd64-hassio-supervisor:2026.08.0`.
+* ⚠️ **SECOND FIX ROUND — the round-2 fix carried the defect it was written to
+  close, in its prose.** Two more rewrites survived a green 19-file suite on
+  `8501e05`: `binding_soc_floor()`'s `max(floors)` → `max(floors[-2:])` (+5
+  bytes) and the call site's `self.packs` → `self.packs[:2]` (+4 bytes). Both are
+  checks whose TEXT claimed more than their FIXTURE could reach — 12c2's only
+  counterfactual varied the **last** pack, which every window ending at the
+  roster's end follows, and all three 12g runs drove a **two**-pack roster, where
+  `[:2]` *is* the roster. **The general law, now stated in the file: a fixture of
+  N packs cannot separate two reductions that agree on N packs**, and the regress
+  does not terminate in a fixture — `[:1]` needed two packs, `[:2]` three, `[:3]`
+  four. So the reduction is now graded by a **length sweep** (78 simulated
+  rosters, lengths 1–12, deepest cut-out at every position, closing head and tail
+  windows of width 1–11 at once) plus a **computed family table** of fourteen
+  rewrites that goes red naming any member no roster kills; the call site is
+  graded by **three-pack runs** with the deep cut-out at index 0, 1 and 2, plus
+  an **exact structural pin** (the roster argument must unparse to `self.packs`)
+  for the slice widths no bounded roster can reach. Round 3's own battery found
+  `self.packs[:3]` / `[-3:]` surviving all six behavioural runs — the structural
+  pin is what closes them — and one row is recorded **NOT CAUGHT**: a reduction
+  over a window twelve packs wide, which needs a 13-pack roster to observe.
+  No shipped behaviour changed in this round; only what observes it.
+* **Twelve source mutations, eleven red, one argued survivor**, through
+  `tools/mutation_run.sh` (bytecode purged). The battery also found a real
+  weakness of its own: `_flat_bms_floor()` had the default in two places and each
+  covered for the other, so deleting either survived — masking, in three lines of
+  option reading. One defaulting line now.
+* ⚠️ **FIX ROUND — that battery was INCOMPLETE, and the review found what it
+  missed.** Neither of the two mutations below appears in the twelve rows above:
+  the ledger graded "the reduction dropped" and "the bare option handed over"
+  and never asked what happens when the reduction is simply the *wrong* one, or
+  when the roster handed to it is *sliced*. No shipped behaviour changed here;
+  two *checks* whose data could not reach the failure they named did. `max(floors)` → `min(floors)` in
+  `binding_soc_floor()` (zero byte delta) and `self.packs` → `self.packs[:1]` at
+  the `decide()` call site (+4 bytes) were each green across all 19 files. Both
+  survived for the same reason: **under any rule-8-valid config every pack's
+  `pack_floor_pct()` equals `peak_soc_floor`**, so `floors` is a list of
+  identical numbers and `max`, `min`, first and last are four spellings of one
+  answer — and the one check using a cut-out above the EMS floor ran on a roster
+  of ONE, where every reduction agrees. The second also walked through part 12g,
+  which asserted `"self.packs" in <the unparsed call site>`: a slice still
+  contains that substring, so the pin passed on the mutation that grades the
+  whole site against pack A. MUTATION.md habit 4 — a source-text test is a check
+  on how code is spelled, not on what it does.
+  * **New part 12c2** evaluates `binding_soc_floor()` on a roster whose per-pack
+    floors **all differ** — four simulated cut-outs of 30/25/40/35 %, every one
+    above `peak_soc_floor`, chosen so that `max` (40), `min` (25), first (30),
+    last (35) and the mean (32.5) are five different numbers and the two extremes
+    sit at *interior* roster positions. Two packs cannot separate those four;
+    four is the smallest roster that can. The precondition is its own check
+    (habit 1) and one pack — the last, neither deepest nor shallowest — is then
+    raised past the old maximum and the answer follows it (habit 7).
+  * **Part 12g is now behaviour, not source text.** Real `Controller.cycle()`s on
+    a two-pack roster, both packs at the same SoC, with the cut-outs as the only
+    thing varied: move the **non-first** pack's cut-out and the floor reaching
+    `decide()` moves 20 % → 35 %, with the site's verdict flipping from a sized
+    discharge to FLOOR-LIMITED. `self.packs[:1]` answers 20 % both times. Which
+    option key the floor comes from stays pinned on the source where it already
+    was, because that claim genuinely is about the code's shape.
+  * ⚠️ **Two MORE survivors, found by this round's own battery and recorded
+    rather than quietly repaired.** (a) The first cut of part 12g varied only
+    pack B's cut-out, so `self.packs[-1:]` — grade the site against the **last**
+    pack — agreed with the full roster on both runs and stayed green across all
+    19 files (+5 bytes). A two-run fixture pins one slice and not the other.
+    Part 12g now runs the **same pair of cut-outs in both orders**, so the
+    deeper one is on the second pack in one run and on the first in another and
+    the site floor is 35 % in both; no single-position slice passes all three
+    runs. (b) `binding_soc_floor()`'s empty-roster branch rewritten to
+    `return None` (−43 bytes) was also green — a defensive branch nothing in the
+    suite reached. Both directions of it are pinned now, with the note that it
+    cannot permit anything either way because `pack_floor_soc` is `None` at an
+    empty roster.
+
+* ⚠️ **THIRD FIX ROUND — the same family was alive at the SIBLING ARGUMENT of
+  the same call.** Rounds 2 and 3 hardened the FLOOR axis; `decide()` is handed
+  a second reduction over the same roster beside it, `soc=self.pack_floor_soc`,
+  and `peakguard.py`'s own docstring names the two as a pair. Three rewrites of
+  `Controller.pack_floor_soc` were green across all 19 files on `52380c0` and
+  again after the rebase onto `3934ad7`: `min(float(v) for v in vals)` →
+  `vals[:2]` (+4), `vals[-2:]` (+5) and `vals[:3]` (+4), while `[:1]`, `[-1:]`,
+  `[1:]`, `[:-1]`, `max()` and the mean were all red. **The suite's separating
+  power on the SoC axis stopped at exactly N=2** — the state the floor axis was
+  in before round 3. It changes a real answer: a three-pack roster at
+  50 / 60 / 11 % with the emptiest pack THIRD answers 11 % shipped and 50 %
+  mutated, so the site is graded for discharge PERMISSION against a pack 39
+  points fuller than the emptiest and spends a pack its own BMS stops. Round 3's
+  machinery transfers directly — new **part 12i**: six real `cycle()`s with the
+  emptiest pack at every position of a three-pack roster and both positions of a
+  two-pack one (the observable read off `PeakDecision.soc`, cut-outs held flat
+  so the floor axis cannot be what moved the answers); computed slice and
+  non-slice tables that go red naming any member nothing kills; a **length
+  sweep** of 78 real rosters, lengths 1–12, closing head and tail windows of
+  width 1–11 and recording width 12 as honestly unreached; a **none-guard
+  sweep** over the same 78; and **three exact structural pins** — the `vals`
+  comprehension must iterate the bare `self.inverters`, and both `any()` and
+  `min()` must reduce the whole `vals` — which close every slice width at every
+  roster length. No shipped behaviour changed; only what observes it.
+* ⚠️ **SPIKE-04: production is DEGENERATE on the floor axis, so the
+  differing-floor fixtures are the entire exposure.** Pack B is 4 × Dyness
+  DL5.0C, DoD 90 → floor 10 % — **FROM THE DATASHEET AND THE SERIAL; inverter B
+  does not exist and nothing about it is measured.** Pack A is DoD 90 → 10 % as
+  well, and that one *is* measured. Both packs therefore floor at the same value
+  in the field, `max(10, 10)` is 10 whatever it reduces, and a differing floor
+  exists **only in the fixtures**. That is the argument for keeping them, not for
+  simplifying them: anyone who collapses `A_PACK_FLOOR != B_PACK_FLOOR_SIM` to
+  one number deletes the only data this repository has that can see the
+  reduction at all, and part 12c2's precondition check goes red if they do. The
+  **SoC** axis has no such degeneracy — two batteries at the same state of
+  charge is a coincidence, not a configuration — which is what makes
+  `pack_floor_soc` the half of the pair that will be live from the day inverter
+  B is wired up.
+* ⚠️ **The FAMILY enumerated rather than the member closed, and it found four
+  more survivors in code this card never touched.** Every reduction over
+  `self.inverters` / `self.packs` in `Controller` was found from the AST and
+  mutated to a slice against the full suite. Eighteen were already graded
+  (`site_batt_w`, `site_rating_w`, `site_max_w`, `site_dev_bound`,
+  `site_circulating_w`, `inputs_ok`, `units`, `Controller.packs`, `maint_unit`,
+  the maintenance-due minimum, the store-migration roster, `validate_unit_ranges`
+  and the round-2/3 sites). **Four were not, and three of them are SAFETY-30's,
+  all `any(i.sign_wd.tripped for i in self.inverters)`** — `cycle()`'s
+  stale-input hold, `publish()`'s status vocabulary and `status_payload()`'s
+  banner — each +4 bytes and green across all 19 files, for the reason every
+  blocker on this card was invisible: **the only fixture that reached them was a
+  roster of ONE, where `self.inverters[:1]` IS `self.inverters`.** The first has
+  teeth: a latched unit must take the roster past that hold or its `failsafe`
+  SET stops being re-filed the moment a poll is missed, which is main.py's own
+  sentence for it. New **test_watchdog.py part 8** grades all three with the
+  latch at EACH position plus a no-latch counterfactual, and new **part 12j**
+  pins all 26 roster comprehensions in `Controller` to iterating the roster
+  whole — so a reduction added over a slice anywhere in the class is red on the
+  line it is written, with no fixture required. Two rows are reported open
+  rather than closed: `_grade_store_migration()`'s second disjunct (now red on
+  12j, and argued to be an equivalent mutant because a unit tripped at startup
+  implies its namespaced key is set) and `cycle()`'s undeliverable-unit **log
+  line**, where `sorted(...)[:1]` (+4 bytes) is still green — it truncates names
+  in one event message; the refusal itself is a different expression and is
+  graded, so the site still stops.
+* ⚠️ **FOURTH FIX ROUND — the same family one MODULE over, and the pin widened
+  until it discovers its own scope.** Round 4 enumerated the family and closed
+  it inside the `Controller` class; the review found four more survivors
+  immediately, in **validate.py**, on a 19/19 green suite: `min(caps)` →
+  `min(caps[:1])` (+4) and `→ min(caps[-1:])` (+5) at `:779`, the caps
+  comprehension over `caps_ix[:1]` (+4) at `:778`, and
+  `min(caps_ix[-1:], key=…)` (+5) at `:893`. **None is an equivalent mutant.**
+  With `max_w: 5000` on inverter-a beside `2000` on inverter-b and
+  `sign_disagree_w: 3000`, the shipped validator refuses — *"the SAFETY-02
+  sign-disagreement watchdog can never fire"* — and all four **accept**: the
+  site starts with a watchdog reporting `armed` that cannot trip on pack B.
+  Rule 5's own failure mode reached through rule 5; rule 6 loses its refusal the
+  same way. **No shipped behaviour changed by the pin; what changed is that a
+  hand-written scope stopped being trusted.**
+  * **`test_peakguard.py` part 12j now parses every `.py` under `app/`** — no
+    module is named in the check — and finds the roster by transitive closure
+    from **one seed**, the `inverters` option key: through returns, through
+    lists **accumulated in a loop over a roster** (which is what `caps`,
+    `roster` and `problems` are, and what round 4's rule could not express),
+    through attributes and properties, and **through call arguments**, which is
+    how it walks into `peakguard`, `arbiter`, `allocator`, `circulation`,
+    `maintenance` and `store` without being told they exist. A slice of a roster
+    stays a roster so a mutation cannot cut the taint; an index is one unit and
+    does not. **183 reductions across 9 modules** out of 23 files parsed — `main.py` 96,
+    `allocator.py` 24, `validate.py` 19, `arbiter.py` 14, `circulation.py` 10,
+    `maintenance.py` 10, `peakguard.py` 4, `inverter.py` 3, `store.py` 3.
+  * **The hand-written module list would have been wrong in BOTH directions.**
+    It named `watchdog.py`, which reduces over no roster at all — SAFETY-30's
+    sign watchdogs are strictly per-unit — and omitted `maintenance.py` and
+    `store.py`, which both do. A vacuous claim about one module and no claim
+    about two others.
+  * **The pin rediscovers all four blockers without being told where to look,**
+    and finds a fifth beside them (`validate.py:783`, rule 5's message) that no
+    review round named. Its counterfactual runs at two depths: every enumerated
+    site's own expression mutated with each of the four cuts this card has been
+    defeated by (732 spellings, all reported), and `[:1]` written into
+    `app/validate.py` at each blocker position with the **whole** analysis
+    re-run over the mutated source — a sliced site required at that exact line,
+    where the clean package reports none.
+  * **And the behavioural half, because a shape pin grades an identity and never
+    a meaning.** `test_validate.py` grows a **roster SET** for the three rules
+    that reduce over `unit_caps_indexed()` — widths 2, 3, 4, 5 with the one
+    small cap at every position, 42 runs of the real validator — plus a
+    **computed family table** of twelve candidate reductions each compared with
+    what the shipped validator actually said on the same roster. Only `min`
+    agrees everywhere; a member no roster kills is printed as a named survivor.
+  * ⚠️ **A THIRD RULE WAS READING THE FLAT `max_w`, AND IT IS SAFETY-30's** —
+    found by reading, **not** by the pin, which is the shape of what the pin
+    cannot see. `unit_sign_disagree_w` was graded against
+    `_number(opts, "max_w", 2000.0)` three lines under a branch that had already
+    stopped doing that. **Both directions were measured:** two 2000 W units
+    beside a leftover `max_w: 5000` and `unit_sign_disagree_w: 3000` produced
+    **zero problems** — the site started with a per-unit watchdog that could not
+    trip on either unit — and two 5000 W units with no flat key were **refused**
+    against a 2000 W default the operator never wrote. It takes the weakest
+    unit's own cap now and names that unit; at a roster of one it is the same
+    comparison, boundary and sentence it always was.
+  * ⚠️ **What the pin cannot see, with sizes**, in
+    `DECISIONS/SAFETY-32-per-pack-bms-floor.md` §4d: semantics (`min` vs `max`
+    is a zero-byte edit); direct index sites that are not reductions; a
+    subscript by a *variable* (`weights[u]` is why); a slice through an
+    intermediate call; anything outside `app/`, including `sim/inject.py`; and
+    the taint's own seam at `*args` and unresolvable receivers, where everything
+    downstream goes **unenumerated rather than reported unreachable**.
+    `cycle()`'s undeliverable-unit log line is still green at +4 bytes and still
+    filed open, unchanged from round 4.
+  * **`tools/supervisor_shape_probe.py` re-run again (2026-09-05, 2026.08.0).**
+    The rebase onto `67e649a` merged SPIKE-04a's `max_w: 4600` into the same
+    §C/§D blocks this card had rewritten, and a transcript stitched by hand out
+    of two runs is not a measurement. `all cases passed`, exit 0, with B's
+    rating reading 4600 — its **datasheet** figure, still not a measurement of
+    any unit.
+  * ⚠️ **THE SWEEP, AND THE NUMBER THAT MUST NOT BE QUOTED ALONE.** All 183
+    sites mutated to `[:1]`, one at a time, against the full 19-file suite in
+    `goodwe-addon-ci` (`:ro`, `-B`, fresh rsync per mutant, 0 `.pyc` before and
+    after): **183/183 RED** — which is tautological on its own, because the pin
+    makes every slice red. The 51 whose first red was `test_peakguard.py` were
+    re-run with the pin **neutralised**: **145 of 183 have a behavioural fixture
+    that separates them from a slice of themselves; 38 have only the structural
+    claim.** All 38 are listed by site, with what a `[:1]` there would cost, in
+    §4d and in `test_peakguard.py` part 12j — 15 of them are rows and counts on
+    the operator's page, 3 are `len(targets)` arithmetic beside a write path
+    that IS graded, 6 are allocator internals ALLOC-01's fixtures reach but not
+    with enough units to separate. **None of the 38 is closed behaviourally by
+    this card, and none is counted as covered.**
+
+⚠️ **No measurement of inverter B appears anywhere in this change.** It does not
+exist yet. Every second-pack figure — in fixtures, in the probe, in
+config.yaml's commented example — is **simulated and labelled**; only inverter
+A's 10 % is read off hardware.
+
 **At two inverters the sign watchdog stops comparing one unit against the whole
 site meter, and becomes two checks instead of one (SAFETY-30).**

+# SAFETY-32 — `bms_soc_floor` per pack, and the two judgement calls it left open
+
+**Status:** decided and implemented on branch `SAFETY-32`.
+**Card:** SAFETY-32 — *"One `bms_soc_floor` for two packs grades the shallower
+pack against the deeper one's cut-out"*, scoped by the card's own PM PROOFREAD
+to its **third** bullet only. Bullets 1 (aggregate anti-windup) and 2 (per-instance
+`achievable_w`) were verified as already shipped by DEV-02 and CFG-04 and were
+**not** touched — `main.py`'s `actual_w=self.site_batt_w` comment is the record
+of why the first of those must stay site-level, and it still reads as written.
+
+---
+
+## 1. The defect, stated in the terms the code uses
+
+`bms_soc_floor` **describes a battery**: it is the percent that pack's own BMS
+cuts out at, register `0x0560` on the reference GW5000S-BP, read as 10. It was a
+flat option because there was one pack.
+
+`peak_soc_floor` **describes the site's policy**: the depth a money-saving
+discharge may never reach. Rule 8 refuses `peak_soc_floor <= bms_soc_floor`,
+because such a floor can never bind — the BMS wins and the status page reports a
+backstop that does not exist.
+
+At two packs of different models the two cut-outs differ, and one number for both
+is wrong **in the direction that empties a pack**: with cut-outs of 10 % and 30 %
+and `peak_soc_floor: 20`, the add-on **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.
+
+---
+
+## 2. DECISION 1 — required per entry, not defaulted from `PEAK_OPTION_DEFAULTS`
+
+The card left this open and asked for the reason to be recorded.
+
+**Decided: REQUIRED of every roster entry**, in `config.yaml`'s schema
+(`bms_soc_floor: int(0,50)`, no trailing `?`) and in `validate.py` rule 8, which
+refuses a missing one **by name**.
+
+The reason is that a default here is not a convenience, it is **this card's own
+defect wearing a different hat**. A default is one number applied to every pack,
+which is exactly what the flat key was. An add-on that answers "10 %" for a pack
+nobody has told it about has invented a property of somebody's battery, and the
+failure mode of the invention is the one this card exists to remove — the
+shallower pack protected by a floor that belongs to the deeper one. CFG-03's
+rule ("defaults live in exactly one place") points the same way: the one mirror
+`PEAK_OPTION_DEFAULTS["bms_soc_floor"]` is the default for the **flat** key, i.e.
+for the single-inverter shape, and reusing it per entry would make one dict the
+default in two shapes with two meanings.
+
+It is also the treatment `max_w` already gets, for the same reason and by the
+same argument (`inverter.py`'s `build_roster()` docstring): the per-unit numbers
+that describe hardware are required, and the per-unit *sensors* are optional
+because an absent sensor is a real state.
+
+**The cost is stated rather than hidden.** This is a schema change: a roster
+config written before this branch is refused by the Supervisor until each entry
+gains the key, and every roster fixture in the suite needed it. Nothing in
+production carries a roster today — `inverters:` ships `[]` and the second
+inverter is ~8 days out — so the migration is paid by fixtures and by whoever
+writes the first real roster, at a startup refusal that names the entry.
+
+**What is NOT inherited.** An entry that omits the key does not borrow the flat
+one. `Inverter.bms_soc_floor` is then `None`, `peakguard.pack_floor_pct()`
+answers `None`, and `discharge_permitted()` already treats an unknown floor as
+**no permission** — so even in the window before rule 8 runs (e.g. `sim/inject.py`,
+which does not run the startup gate) the absence costs a shave and never a pack.
+`0.0` was rejected explicitly: it is the most permissive value the key has.
+
+## 3. DECISION 2 — the site verdict is the MAXIMUM of the packs' own floors
+
+`Controller.pack_floor_soc` — the **minimum** measured SoC, the emptiest pack —
+**is unchanged**, exactly as the card instructed. What changed is the floor it is
+graded against. `peakguard.binding_soc_floor()` reduces the roster's per-pack
+floors, each of them `max(peak_soc_floor, that pack's own cut-out)`, with a
+`max()`. The two reductions pair: a minimum SoC against a maximum floor is the
+conservative combination, and both move the verdict towards refusing a shave and
+away from spending a pack. `min(soc) <= max(floor)` is implied by "some pack is
+at or below its own floor", so the site verdict is never more permissive than
+grading each pack separately would be. The converse is not true and is not
+claimed — a site can be refused while every pack individually has headroom, which
+costs a shave.
+
+### 3a. ⚠️ FIX ROUND — the reduction was written and argued, and NOT GRADED
+
+PR #48 was rejected because the argument in §4 below justified *writing* the
+reduction and was then not carried into a check. Neither of the two mutations
+below appears anywhere in §6's twelve-row battery: it graded *"the reduction
+dropped"* and *"the bare option handed over"*, and never asked what happens when
+the reduction is the **wrong one**, or when the roster handed to it is
+**sliced**. Both were applied to `app/` by the reviewer and **all 19 files
+stayed green**:
+
+| mutation | Δ | why it survived |
+|---|---|---|
+| `binding_soc_floor()`: `max(floors)` → `min(floors)` | **0 bytes** | every roster in the suite was rule-8-valid or one pack long, so `floors` held **identical numbers** and `max`/`min`/first/last were four spellings of one answer |
+| the `decide()` call site: `self.packs` → `self.packs[:1]` | **+4 bytes** | part 12g asserted `"self.packs" in <the unparsed expression>` — and `self.packs[:1]` **contains that substring** |
+
+The zero-byte one was proved to have actually run rather than assumed:
+`dis.get_instructions` showed the `LOAD_GLOBAL`s as `[float, pack_floor_pct,
+any, min]`, and `binding_soc_floor([Pack("a",50,10), Pack("b",50,35)], 20.0)`
+returned `20.0` where the shipped code returns `35.0`.
+
+**The common cause is this repository's recurring defect** — a check whose DATA
+cannot reach the failure it names. The one check that used a cut-out **above**
+the EMS floor (12c's `_n1_deep`) ran on a roster of **ONE**, where every possible
+reduction agrees. So no check in the suite ever evaluated
+`binding_soc_floor()` on two packs whose floors **differ**.
+
+**And the rule-8 degeneracy is not a defence, by §4's own words.** If
+"unreachable is a claim about today's rule ordering, not a property of this
+function, and `validate_startup_config()` is also `sim/inject.py`'s entry point"
+is enough to *write* the reduction, it is enough to *grade* it. Through
+`sim/inject.py`, which does not run rule 8 at all, `min(floors)` lets the guard
+command a forced discharge to 20 % on a pack whose BMS cuts out at 35 %.
+
+**What was added — no shipped behaviour changed, only what observes it:**
+
+* **`test_peakguard.py` part 12c2** evaluates `binding_soc_floor()` on a roster
+  whose per-pack floors **all differ**. Four **simulated** cut-outs —
+  `30, 25, 40, 35` %, every one strictly above `peak_soc_floor: 20`, so
+  `pack_floor_pct()` selects the cut-out for each and `floors` *is* that tuple in
+  that order. The four candidate reductions are then four different numbers:
+
+      max   = 40   <- the shipped answer
+      min   = 25
+      first = 30   <- "grade the site against pack A", inside the function
+      last  = 35
+      mean  = 32.5
+
+  The extremes sit at **interior** roster positions (index 2 is the max, index 1
+  the min). A two-pack roster structurally cannot separate these — there `max`
+  and `last` coincide and so do `min` and `first` — and neither can three. Four
+  is the smallest roster that separates all four. The precondition is its own
+  check (habit 1), one pack is then raised past the old maximum (habit 7: the
+  **last** pack, which was neither extreme, so the line can only move if the
+  reduction read it), and `peak_soc_floor` is lifted above every cut-out to grade
+  the other side of the conjunction.
+
+* **Part 12g is behaviour now, not source text** (MUTATION.md habit 4). Real
+  `Controller.cycle()`s on a two-pack roster, both packs held at the same SoC and
+  everything else identical, with the packs' own cut-outs as the only thing
+  varied:
+
+      cut-outs A 10 / B 18 % -> decide() got soc_floor=20 %, floor_limited=False
+      cut-outs A 10 / B 35 % -> decide() got soc_floor=35 %, floor_limited=True
+
+  The observable is `PeakDecision.soc_floor` — the argument, echoed back by the
+  shipped `decide()` — so the whole path from `Controller.inverters` to the
+  guard's argument is under test, and the site's **verdict flips** as well as the
+  number. `self.packs[:1]` answers 20 % both times. **Which** option key the floor
+  comes from stays pinned on the source in part 4, because that claim genuinely
+  is about the code's shape; that the option still governs is now graded
+  behaviourally too.
+
+* ⚠️ **A THIRD SURVIVOR, FOUND WHILE FIXING THE FIRST TWO, AND RECORDED RATHER
+  THAN QUIETLY REPAIRED.** The first cut of part 12g varied only **pack B's**
+  cut-out — so `self.packs[-1:]`, grade the site against the **last** pack,
+  agreed with the full roster on both runs and stayed green across all 19 files
+  (+5 bytes). A two-run fixture that only ever moves the second pack pins `[:1]`
+  and not `[-1:]`; it is the same defect one step along, and it was in the fix
+  for this defect. Part 12g now runs the **same pair of cut-outs in both
+  orders**:
+
+      cut-outs A 10 / B 18 % -> soc_floor=20 %, floor_limited=False
+      cut-outs A 10 / B 35 % -> soc_floor=35 %, floor_limited=True
+      ...the SAME PAIR SWAPPED, A 35 / B 18 % -> soc_floor=35 %, floor_limited=True
+
+  `[:1]` answers 20 % on the second run, `[-1:]` answers 20 % on the third, and
+  the roster answers 35 % on both. No single-position slice passes all three.
+  This is the mirror `12h` already ran on the SoC axis, which is where the shape
+  was borrowed from.
+
+* ⚠️ **AND A FOURTH, from the same battery: the EMPTY-roster branch.** Rewriting
+  `binding_soc_floor([])`'s `float(soc_floor)` to `return None` (−43 bytes) was
+  green across all 19 files. It is defensive code — `Controller.inverters` is
+  never empty on a started controller, and `inputs_ok` refuses the cycle before
+  the guard is reached if it were — so nothing in the suite went near it. It is
+  **pinned rather than argued**, in both directions (the option when there is
+  one, `None` when there is not), because a branch with no check is a branch
+  that can be rewritten under a green suite. The check also records why it
+  cannot permit anything either way: `pack_floor_soc` is `None` at an empty
+  roster, and `discharge_permitted()` refuses on a `None` SoC whatever the floor
+  is.
+
+* **`wired_over_limit()` gained a `prepare(ctl)` hook**, inside its retry loop so
+  every attempt grades the same site, which is the only window in which a second
+  inverter can join the roster before the telegrams are fed.
+
+* **In-process mutation rows 22, 22b and 23** record all four survivors, so a
+  later edit that re-degenerates any of these fixtures goes red on a row rather
+  than on nothing.
+
+### 3b. ⚠️ SECOND FIX ROUND — the fix carried the defect it was written to close
+
+Round 2 closed both named survivors, and both of round 3's blockers are the
+**same defect sitting inside that fix**: a check whose TEXT claims more than its
+FIXTURE can observe. Applied to `app/` on `8501e05`, **all 19 files stayed
+green** for both:
+
+| mutation | Δ | the sentence that was too broad | why the fixture could not see it |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `binding_soc_floor()`: `max(floors)` → `max(floors[-2:])` | **+5 bytes** | *"So the reduction reads **every entry**"* | 12c2's only counterfactual raised the **last** pack (`_deeper[-1]`), and **every window that ends at the roster's end follows the last pack**. On `(30,25,40,35)` both answer 40; on `_deeper` both answer 45. |
+| the `decide()` call site: `self.packs` → `self.packs[:2]` | **+4 bytes** | *"what is reduced is the **ROSTER** and not a POSITION in it"* | all three `_floor_reaching_decide` runs drove a **two-pack** roster, where `self.packs[:2]` **is** `self.packs` — by exactly the argument 12c2 itself makes about two packs being unable to separate max/min/first/last. |
+
+Round 2's *report* stated the narrow, true claim ("no **single-position** slice
+passes all three runs"). The *check in the file* stated the broad one. That gap
+is the whole of round 3.
+
+**THE GENERAL LAW, stated once so the next card can use it:**
+
+> **A fixture of N packs cannot separate two reductions that agree on N packs.**
+> Two cannot separate max from min from first from last. Three cannot separate

+
+Its corollary is the reason this section is long: **the regress does not
+terminate in a fixture.** Closing `[:1]` took two packs; `[:2]` took three;
+`[:3]` takes four — and a four-pack run hands `[:4]` the same free pass. Round 3
+therefore does two different things rather than adding one more pack.
+
+**What was added — no shipped behaviour changed, only what observes it:**
+
+* **Part 12c2 gained a ROSTER SET and a computed FAMILY TABLE.** The same four
+  simulated cut-outs with the **deepest moved to each of the four positions**,
+  and fourteen enumerated rewrites of `max(floors)` each checked against every
+  roster. The table is **computed and printed**, and a member with an empty kill
+  list takes the check **red naming it** — so a family member can no longer be
+  added without a fixture that reaches it. `max(floors[-2:])` is killed only by
+  the rosters whose deepest sits at index 0 or 1, which is precisely the data the
+  single last-pack counterfactual could not supply.
+
+* **Part 12c2 gained a LENGTH SWEEP.** `binding_soc_floor()` is a pure function
+  over a list, which is the one place a sweep is cheap: **78 simulated rosters,
+  lengths 1 through 12, the deepest cut-out at every position of each.** That
+  closes *every* head window `max(floors[:w])` and *every* tail window
+  `max(floors[-w:])` of width **1 to 11** in one property rather than one
+  mutation at a time — and the check asserts that width **12 is NOT reached**, so
+  the limit is a red line rather than a silence.
+
+* **Part 12g drives THREE-pack rosters**, with the deep cut-out at index 0, 1
+  **and** 2. Every positional slice of a three-pack roster is a proper subset of
+  `{0,1,2}` and so drops a position; the run whose deep pack sits there answers
+  the option, 20 %, where the roster answers 35 %. `self.packs[:2]` goes red on
+  the index-2 run. `_floor_reaching_decide()` now takes `*floors`, and the extra
+  units join through the same `second_inverter()` hook the two-pack runs use.
+
+* **Part 12g gained a POSITIONAL-SLICE TABLE**, computed against the **real**
+  `Controller.packs` each of the six cycles actually ran and the **real**
+  `PeakDecision.soc_floor` it produced — so it measures the shipped call site's
+  own answer, not a re-derivation, and a survivor takes the check red.
+
+* ⚠️ **AND A FIFTH AND SIXTH SURVIVOR, FOUND BY ROUND 3'S OWN BATTERY AND
+  CLOSED STRUCTURALLY RATHER THAN BY ONE MORE PACK.** `self.packs[:3]` (+4) and
+  `self.packs[-3:]` (+5) survive **all six** behavioural runs, because the
+  longest roster those runs drive is three packs long. Part 12g therefore also
+  pins the roster **argument's identity** on the AST: it must unparse to exactly
+  `self.packs`, which is false of every slice at every length. ⚠️ This is **not**
+  the substring test round 2 removed — `"self.packs" in expr` is *true* of every
+  slice; `ast.unparse(arg) == "self.packs"` is *false* of all of them. The two
+  halves are separated and each says what it reaches: the **runs** grade the
+  VALUE and reach every slice up to N=3; the **pin** grades the ARGUMENT'S
+  IDENTITY at any N and is blind to two things the runs are not — a rewrite of
+  what `Controller.packs` *returns* (the runs' `len(ctl.packs) == 3` catches
+  that) and the reduction *inside* `binding_soc_floor()` (12c2's).
+
+* ⚠️ **AND ONE ROW IS RECORDED AS NOT CAUGHT.** A reduction over a window
+  **twelve packs wide** is indistinguishable from `max(floors)` on every roster
+  in the file, because the sweep stops at twelve. Unlike the call site there is
+  no identity claim to pin — the claim is semantic, "the maximum", and a shape
+  pin would refuse honest refactors of the expression. It is reported **with its
+  size** (it needs a 13-pack roster, on a site whose roster is ONE and whose
+  second unit is ~8 days out) rather than hidden.
+
+* **Two rewrites are EQUIVALENT, not uncaught.** `max(set(floors))` and
+  `list(reversed(self.packs))` cannot change any answer — `max` is order- and
+  duplicate-invariant. The second is nonetheless red on the structural pin.
+
+* **In-process mutation rows 24 – 27** record all four of round 3's findings,
+  including the not-caught one, so a later edit that re-degenerates any of these
+  fixtures goes red on a row rather than on nothing.
+
+## 4. ⚠️ THE HONEST LIMITATION, and it is the reason this record exists
+
+**Under any configuration rule 8 accepts, `binding_soc_floor()` answers
+`peak_soc_floor` for every pack.** Rule 8 refuses `peak_soc_floor <= bms_soc_floor`
+on *every* unit, so `max(peak_soc_floor, bms_i) == peak_soc_floor` everywhere the
+add-on will actually start. The per-pack **floor** is therefore non-degenerate
+only against a config rule 8 refuses.
+
+This is not a defect and it is not hidden. It is the same argument
+`validate.unit_caps_indexed()` makes about itself, in that function's own words:
+
+> *"Rule 9(d) already refuses such a config so the two lists cannot desynchronise
+> in shipped use — but 'unreachable' is a claim about today's rule ordering, not
+> a property of this function, and `validate_startup_config()` is also
+> `sim/inject.py`'s entry point."*
+
+CFG-04's index desynchronisation is what happened the last time that reasoning
+was left implicit. So the reduction is written, and it is graded on both sides:
+`test_peakguard.py` part 12c sweeps **1775** rule-8-valid `(peak_soc_floor,
+bms_soc_floor)` pairs and asserts the answer is the option in every one of them
+(that is AC 5, measured over the whole option space rather than at the shipped
+point), and then asserts that on the pair rule 8 *refuses* the answer is the
+**cut-out** — because without that second line the sweep would be satisfied by
+`soc_floor` typed straight through, and the mutation that deletes the `max()`
+could never bite. It does bite: M2 on the PR.
+
+**What IS live at a rule-8-valid roster** is the rest of the card: rule 8 now
+refuses the two-model config that used to start; the permission is answered per
+pack, so the alarm names the pack that stopped the site rather than "the
+battery"; and an entry with no stated cut-out is withheld instead of defaulted.
+
+## 4b. ⚠️ ROUND 4 — the sibling argument, and SPIKE-04 making this the live axis
+
+Rounds 2 and 3 hardened the **floor** axis: the `max` inside
+`binding_soc_floor()`, the roster handed to it, `Controller.packs`, and
+`pack_floor_pct()`'s conjunction. Round 4's blocker is the same family at the
+**sibling argument of the same call**:
+
+```python
+self.peak_guard = peakguard.decide(
+    ...,
+    soc=self.pack_floor_soc,                      # MINIMUM  <- round 4
+    soc_floor=peakguard.binding_soc_floor(self.packs, ...),   # MAXIMUM  <- rounds 2-3
+```
+
+`peakguard.py`'s own docstring names them as a pair — *"MAXIMUM here pairs with
+the MINIMUM in `pack_floor_soc`"* — and a conjunction is exactly as strong as
+its weaker half. On `52380c0`, with all 19 files green and verified again after
+the rebase onto `3934ad7`:
+
+| mutation in `Controller.pack_floor_soc` | bytes | before round 4 | now |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `min(float(v) for v in vals[:2])`  | +4 | **GREEN** | RED |
+| `min(float(v) for v in vals[-2:])` | +5 | **GREEN** | RED |
+| `min(float(v) for v in vals[:3])`  | +4 | **GREEN** | RED |
+| `vals[:1]`, `vals[-1:]`, `vals[1:]`, `vals[:-1]`, `max(vals)`, the mean | | RED | RED |
+
+The suite's separating power on the SoC axis stopped at exactly **N = 2** —
+precisely the state the floor axis was in before round 3, and which round 3
+itself named as its blocker 2. A fixture of N packs cannot separate reductions
+that agree on N packs.
+
+**It changes a real answer.** A three-pack roster at 50 / 60 / 11 %, emptiest
+pack **third**: the shipped property answers 11 %, `vals[:2]` answers 50 %. The
+site is then graded for discharge *permission* against a pack 39 points fuller
+than the emptiest, and spends a pack its own BMS stops — through
+`sim/inject.py`, which runs no validator rule at all. The verdict flips with it:
+11 % is below the 20 % EMS floor, so the shipped site is floor-limited and sizes
+no forced discharge, where the mutant is permitted and sizes a positive one.
+
+### ⚠️ SPIKE-04 makes the differing-floor discipline the entire exposure
+
+SPIKE-04 reads pack B as **4 × Dyness DL5.0C, DoD 90 → floor 10 %** — **FROM THE
+DATASHEET AND THE SERIAL. Inverter B does not physically exist (~8 days out) and
+nothing about it has been measured.** Pack A is DoD 90 → 10 % as well, and *that
+one is measured*, off register `0x0560` on the reference GW5000S-BP.
+
+So **production is degenerate on the floor axis**: both packs floor at the same
+value, `max(10, 10) == 10`, and a differing floor exists **only in the
+fixtures**. That is not an argument for simplifying the fixtures to matching
+values — it is the argument for keeping them. `binding_soc_floor()`'s reduction
+is observable *nowhere else*, and the moment a third pack, a replacement pack or
+a different chemistry arrives it is observable in the field. **Anyone who
+"simplifies" `A_PACK_FLOOR != B_PACK_FLOOR_SIM` to one number deletes the only
+data this repository has that can see the reduction at all**; part 12c2's
+precondition check goes red if they do, and this paragraph is why.
+
+The **SoC axis has no such degeneracy**. Two batteries at the same state of
+charge is a coincidence, not a configuration, so `pack_floor_soc` is the half of
+the pair that will be non-degenerate in the field from the day inverter B is
+wired up.
+
+### The treatment, transferred from round 3
+
+* **the roster SET** — six real `Controller.cycle()` runs, the emptiest pack at
+  every position of a three-pack roster and both positions of a two-pack one,
+  the observable read off `PeakDecision.soc` (the argument, echoed) rather than
+  off a spy or a grep. Cut-outs held flat across all of them, so the floor axis
+  cannot be what moved the answers.
+* **the positional-slice table and the non-slice table** — computed against the
+  real `Controller.inverters` each cycle carried and the real decision it
+  produced, printed, with a member that nothing kills taking the check red.
+* **the length sweep** — the real property on real rosters of 1 to 12 inverters,
+  the empty pack at every position. Closes head and tail windows of width 1-11
+  at once. Width 12 and wider is **honestly not reached**, and asserted to be
+  unreached so a later sweep that lengthens the rosters must rewrite the
+  sentence.
+* **the exact structural pin** — three of them, because there are three
+  reductions over roster length in this one property: `vals` is built by one
+  comprehension over the bare `self.inverters`; `any(... for v in vals)` reduces
+  the whole list; `min(... for v in vals)` reduces the whole list. Every slice
+  of either is red at **every** roster length, including the `[:3]` and `[:12]`
+  the runs and the sweep cannot see.
+
+Unlike the floor axis, **there is no uncaught row here**: the claim at
+`pack_floor_soc` is an *identity* ("this list"), so a shape pin is the right
+instrument, where `binding_soc_floor()`'s claim is *semantic* ("the maximum")
+and a shape pin there would refuse honest refactors. That asymmetry is why one
+carries an open row and the other does not.
+
+## 4c. ⚠️ THE ENUMERATION — what OTHER reductions over roster length are graded
+
+This card has now been rejected three times for the same shape one step over, so
+round 4 stopped closing members and enumerated the **family**. Every reduction
+over `self.inverters` / `self.packs` in `Controller` was found from the AST and
+mutated to a slice, one at a time, against the full 19-file suite.
+
+| # | site | reduction | consumer | mutation | result |
+|---|---|---|---|---|---|
+| 1 | `pack_floor_soc` | `min` over SoC | `decide(soc=)`, `arbitrage.decide(soc=)` | `vals[:2]` +4 | **was GREEN → now RED** (12i) |
+| 2 | `pack_floor_soc` | `any(v is None)` | same | `vals[:1]` +4 | RED (raises in 12d; pinned in 12i) |
+| 3 | `pack_floor_soc` | the `vals` comprehension | same | `self.inverters[:2]` +4 | RED (12i sweep + pin) |
+| 4 | `binding_soc_floor` | `max` over floors | `decide(soc_floor=)` | `min`, windows | RED (12c2, round 2-3) |
+| 5 | call site | the roster argument | same | `self.packs[:1..3]` | RED (12g, round 3) |
+| 6 | `Controller.packs` | the comprehension | `binding_soc_floor`, `pack_permissions` | `self.inverters[:2]` +4 | RED (12g three-pack runs) |
+| 7 | `site_batt_w` | `sum` + `any(None)` | `decide(batt_w=)` — sizes the floor | `self.inverters[:1]` +4 | RED (test_inverter.py) |
+| 8 | `site_rating_w` | `sum` of per-unit conjunction | `decide(achievable_w=)`, freeze rail | `[:1]` +4 | RED (test_inverter.py) |

+| 10 | `site_dev_bound` | `sum` + `any(None)` | `looks_frozen`, `rail_unreachable` | `[:1]` +4 | RED (test_inverter.py) |
+| 11 | `site_circulating_w` | `circulating_w` over measured power | SAFETY-31 trip | `[:1]` +4 | RED (test_watchdog.py) |
+| 12 | `inputs_ok` | `all` over both readings | gates the whole cycle (§11.1 rule 1) | `[:1]` +4 | RED (test_inverter.py) |
+| 13 | `units` | `tuple` of names | the arbiter's scope table | `[:1]` +4 | RED (5 files) |
+| 14 | `status_payload` | `min(_dues)` over `self.maints` | the operator's "maintenance due" row | `_dues[:1]` +4 | RED (test_maintenance.py) |
+| 15 | `maint_unit` | `self.inverters[self.maint_index]` | which pack the FSM drives | `[0]` −15 | RED (test_maintenance.py) |
+| 16 | store migration | the roster name list | MAINT-05's key migration | `[:1]` +4 | RED (test_maintenance.py) |
+| 17 | `validate_unit_ranges` | the roster argument | startup refusal | `[:1]` +4 | RED (test_inverter.py) |
+| 18 | `cycle()` stale-input hold | `any(sign_wd.tripped)` | **a latched unit's failsafe SET** | `[:1]` +4 | **was GREEN → now RED** (test_watchdog.py part 8) |
+| 19 | `publish()` status | `any(sign_wd.tripped)` | the MQTT status vocabulary | `[:1]` +4 | **was GREEN → now RED** (part 8) |
+| 20 | `status_payload()` banner | `any(sign_wd.tripped)` | the one headline on the page | `[:1]` +4 | **was GREEN → now RED** (part 8) |
+| 21 | `_grade_store_migration` | `any(sign_wd.tripped)` | SAFETY-02's re-arm guard | `[:1]` +4 | was GREEN → now RED (12j), see below |
+| 22 | `cycle()` undeliverable list | `sorted(...)` over shares | the *text* of one event line | `[:1]` +4 | **STILL GREEN — honest gap, below** |
+
+**Rows 18-20 are the finding, and they are not this card's code.** All three are
+`any(i.sign_wd.tripped for i in self.inverters)`, all three are SAFETY-30's, and
+all three survived a green 19-file suite for exactly the reason every blocker on
+this card survived: *the only fixture that reached them was a roster of ONE,
+where `self.inverters[:1]` IS `self.inverters`.* Part 3 of test_watchdog.py has
+built a two-inverter roster with only inverter B latched since SAFETY-30
+shipped — the precise data all three needed — and none of them read it.
+
+Row 18 is the one with teeth. A latched unit must take the whole roster past the
+stale-input hold, because that unit's `failsafe` SET is the thing parking it;
+main.py's own comment says *"the trip would stop acting the moment a poll was
+missed"*. With `[:1]`, a latched inverter B plus a one-cycle gap in inverter A's
+SoC returns early, and B's last share stands for the heartbeat to re-emit.
+test_watchdog.py part 8 now drives that with the latch at **each** position, plus
+the no-latch counterfactual that proves the hold really fires.
+
+**Row 21 — graded structurally, and argued to be redundant.** The `[:1]` there
+is now red on 12j's enumeration, but I could not construct a *reachable* state in
+which it changes an answer: `_grade_store_migration()` runs at startup, before
+any cycle, so a unit is tripped in memory only if its own `unit/<name>/sign_tripped`
+key was truthy — which makes `namespaced_latched` True and short-circuits the
+disjunct. I believe it is an equivalent mutant at that call site rather than a
+live hole, and I am recording the argument instead of asserting the conclusion.
+
+**Row 22 — STILL GREEN, and reported with its size.** `", ".join(sorted(u for u
+in resolution.shares if not self._can_write(u)))[:1]` truncates the **names in
+one event-log line**. It is +4 bytes and no check bites. The refusal itself —
+`elif {u for u in resolution.shares if not self._can_write(u)}` — is a different
+expression and *is* graded (test_peakguard.py part 10h-1b), so the site still
+stops; what a `[:1]` costs is an operator being told one name when two units have
+no writer. It is not a roster comprehension (it iterates `resolution.shares`), so
+12j does not cover it and does not pretend to. Closing it needs a three-inverter
+fixture with two writer-less entries, which is ALLOC-01's fixture and not this
+card's. **Filed as open, with its size and its consequence, rather than closed
+quietly or left unmentioned.**
+
+### And the family closed rather than the member
+
+`test_peakguard.py` part 12j enumerates the family from the AST and requires
+every member to take the roster **whole**, so a new reduction over a slice is red
+**on the line it is written**, at every roster length, with no fixture required.
+That check is what would have caught rounds 2, 3 and 4's blockers on the round
+they were written instead of one review round each; it is also what found rows
+18-21.
+
+⚠️ **AND IT WAS STILL TOO NARROW — see §4d.** Round 4's version enumerated the
+26 roster comprehensions inside the `Controller` class, because that is where
+the four known sites were. Round 5's blockers were four reductions in
+`validate.py`, one module over, over a list *derived* from the roster three
+calls away from it. The pin now parses every `.py` under `app/` and finds the
+roster by transitive closure from one option key: **183 reductions across 9
+modules.**
+
+## 4d. ⚠️ ROUND 5 — the same family one MODULE over, and an instrument that discovers its own scope
+
+Round 4 enumerated the family and closed it **inside the `Controller` class**,
+because that is where the four known sites lived. The review found four more
+survivors immediately, in `validate.py`, on a 19/19 green suite:
+
+| site | mutation | delta | suite |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `validate.py:779` | `min(caps)` → `min(caps[:1])` | +4 B | **GREEN** |
+| `validate.py:779` | `min(caps)` → `min(caps[-1:])` | +5 B | **GREEN** |
+| `validate.py:778` | `caps = [cap for _, cap in caps_ix[:1]]` | +4 B | **GREEN** |
+| `validate.py:893` | `min(caps_ix[-1:], key=lambda p: p[1])` | +5 B | **GREEN** |
+
+**None of them is an equivalent mutant — a safety refusal disappears.** With
+`max_w: 5000` on inverter-a beside `2000` on inverter-b and
+`sign_disagree_w: 3000`, the shipped validator answers one problem —
+*"sign_disagree_w is 3000 W but max_w (inverter-b) is 2000 W, so the SAFETY-02
+sign-disagreement watchdog can never fire"* — and every one of the four answers
+**zero**. The site starts, with a watchdog reporting `armed` on the status page
+that cannot trip on pack B. That is rule 5's own failure mode reached **through**
+rule 5, which is the sentence `test_inverter.py:1657` says the rule exists to
+prevent. Rule 6 loses its refusal the same way.
+
+### Why round 4's pin could not see them, and why the fix is not four more checks
+
+`caps` and `caps_ix` are not comprehensions over `self.inverters`; they are lists
+**derived** from the roster, three function calls away from it, in a module the
+enumeration never opened. Closing them by hand would have produced a fifth
+rejection with the same shape one step over — that is the whole record of this
+card. **A hand-written scope is the same defect as a hand-written fixture**
+(MUTATION.md habit 12): a check whose data cannot reach the failure it names.
+
+### The instrument
+
+`test_peakguard.py` part 12j now parses **every `.py` under `app/`** off disk —
+no module is named anywhere in the check — and finds the roster by transitive
+closure from **one seed**, the `inverters` option key:
+
+* a function whose returns are roster-carrying is **roster-producing**
+  (`roster_entries` → `build_roster` → `unit_caps_indexed` → `unit_caps`);
+* a name assigned one carries it, **and so does a list accumulated in a loop
+  over one** — which is exactly what `caps`, `roster` and `problems` are, and
+  what round 4's rule could not express;
+* an attribute or property answering one carries it (`self.inverters`,
+  `Controller.packs`, `Controller.units`, `live_units()`);
+* **an argument at a call site taints that parameter in the callee**, which is
+  how the pin walks into `peakguard.binding_soc_floor`, `arbiter.resolve`,
+  `allocator.plan`, `circulation.circulating_w`, `maintenance.arbitrate` and
+  `store.migrate_maint_keys` without being told they exist;
+* and **a slice of a roster is still a roster**, so a mutation cannot cut the
+  taint and hide every reduction downstream of itself. An **index** is one unit
+  and is not.
+
+It then requires, at every place a roster-carrying value is reduced or iterated,
+that the whole of it arrives: no `[:1]`, `[-1:]`, `[:2]` or `[0]` between the
+roster and the reduction.
+
+### What it found — and the hand-written list was wrong in BOTH directions
+
+**183 reductions across 9 modules**, out of 23 `.py` files parsed:
+`main.py` 96, `allocator.py` 24, `validate.py` 19, `arbiter.py` 14,
+`circulation.py` 10, `maintenance.py` 10, `peakguard.py` 4, `inverter.py` 3,
+`store.py` 3 — and 14 modules with no roster reduction at all.
+
+The card's own suggested module list named `watchdog.py`, which reduces over no
+roster at all (SAFETY-30's sign watchdogs are strictly per-unit — there is
+nothing to slice), and did **not** name `maintenance.py` or `store.py`, which
+both do. A pin built from that list would have made a vacuous claim about one
+module and no claim at all about two others. That is the argument for computing
+the scope, made with data rather than with an assertion.
+
+The pin **independently rediscovers all four blockers** — it is told one option
+key and nothing else — and finds a **fifth** beside them at
+`validate.py:783`, the `min(caps_ix, key=...)` inside rule 5's message, which no
+review round named.
+
+### The counterfactual, at two depths
+
+* **Per site, all of them.** Every enumerated site's own expression, in its own
+  scope, mutated with each of the four cuts this card has actually been defeated
+  by. **183 sites × 4 cuts = 732** mutated spellings; every one reported. The same run asserts
+  the predicate **accepts** the legitimate wrapped forms the package really uses
+  (`enumerate`, `zip`, `sorted`, `pack_permissions(packs, floor)`) and does not
+  treat a keyed lookup (`weights[u]` in `allocator._fill`) as a slice — which is
+  what four false SLICED reports cost before `shortens()` was written.
+* **End to end, on the real files.** `[:1]` written into `app/validate.py` at
+  each blocker position, the **whole** analysis re-run over the mutated source,
+  and a sliced site required at that exact line — where the clean package
+  reports none. This is the check that would have taken PR #48 red four rounds
+  ago, with no fixture reaching it.
+
+### The sweep, and the number that must not be quoted alone
+
+All 183 sites were mutated to `[:1]`, one at a time, +4 bytes each, and each
+mutant run against the full 19-file suite in `goodwe-addon-ci` (mounted `:ro`,
+`python3 -B`, a fresh rsync per mutant; 0 `.pyc` in the tree before and after —
+a read-only mount cannot write one, so TEST-15 is closed by construction here
+rather than by discipline). **183 of 183 RED.**
+
+⚠️ **On its own that is tautological**: with the pin in the tree every slice is
+red *by the pin*. So all 51 mutants whose first red was `test_peakguard.py` were
+re-run with the pin **neutralised** (`_SLICED` blanked), leaving only the
+behavioural checks:
+
+| | |
+|---|---|
+| **145 of 183** | a behavioural fixture in this repository separates the site from a slice of itself — red with the pin turned off |
+| **38 of 183** | **nothing but this pin sees it.** Structurally closed by this card; behaviourally **UNGRADED**, and listed rather than counted as covered |
+
+The 38: `main.py` 27, `allocator.py` 6, `validate.py` 2, `arbiter.py` 1,
+`circulation.py` 1, `maintenance.py` 1. Grouped by what a `[:1]` there costs:
+
+* **The operator's page — 15, the largest group.** `Controller.checks`
+  (3310, 3311, 3319, 3328, 3330, 3347, 3368, 3370, 3400, 3458) and
+  `status_payload` (3556, 3566, 3578). A slice reports one unit's row where two
+  exist, or "1 of 2 live" reading 1 of 1. Nothing commands differently; what is
+  lost is the evidence a human uses to notice that it should.
+* **The write path's own counts.** `write_setpoint` 1267/1272/1280 — three
+  `len(targets)` guards. The write itself iterates `targets` at 1287 and *is*
+  graded (test_inverter.py); these three are its log arithmetic and refusal
+  count.
+* **The allocator's internals.** `_fill`'s zero-weight last-resort pool (365),
+  `plan`'s `dropped` (526, 653), `free` (584), `frac_order` (591). ALLOC-01
+  drives two and three units through the *weighted* pass; the last-resort pass
+  and the largest-remainder tie-break are reached, but not with enough units for
+  a slice to change the answer.
+* **Startup and FSM plumbing.** `__init__` 235/351, `_only` 831,
+  `_maint_button` 805, `cycle`'s maintenance zip 1505, `send_heartbeats` 3015,
+  `check_output_clamp` 2445/2452, `check_circulating` 2701,
+  `maintenance.arbitrate` 547, `arbiter.site_resolve` 517,
+  `circulation.opposing` 242.
+* **Two refusal-TEXT sites.** `validate._roster_problems`'s `len(entries)` (554)
+  and `refuse()`'s numbering loop (1263) — both shape the words of a refusal
+  that still happens.
+* **`_grade_store_migration` (698)**, already row 21 of §4c, argued there to be
+  an equivalent mutant at that call site. The argument is unchanged and is still
+  an argument, not a proof.
+
+⚠️ **None of the 38 is closed behaviourally by this card, and saying so is the
+point.** Closing sites one at a time is what cost this card four review rounds.
+The pin closes the **family** — a slice at any of them is red on the line it is
+written — and this list is what a shape pin can never promise.
+
+### And the behavioural half, because a shape pin cannot grade a meaning
+
+The pin grades an **identity** ("the whole roster arrives"). `min` → `max` is a
+zero-byte edit and invisible to it, forever. So `test_validate.py` grows a
+**roster SET** for the three rules that reduce over `unit_caps_indexed()`:
+rosters of width 2, 3, 4 and 5 with the one small cap at **every position** —
+14 rosters × 3 rules = 42 runs of the real validator — plus a **computed family
+table** of twelve candidate reductions (`max`, `first`, `last`, the mean, and
+`[:1]`, `[-1:]`, `[:2]`, `[:3]`, `[1:]`, `[:-1]`, `[::2]`) each compared against
+what the shipped validator actually said on the same roster. Only `min` agrees
+everywhere; any member no roster kills is **printed as a named survivor** and
+takes the check red.
+
+### ⚠️ A THIRD RULE WAS READING THE FLAT `max_w`, AND IT IS SAFETY-30's
+
+Found by reading the three branches side by side — **not** by the pin, and said
+that way because it is the shape of what the pin cannot see. Rule 5's sibling
+branch, `unit_sign_disagree_w` (SAFETY-30's per-inverter sign watchdog), was
+graded against `_number(opts, "max_w", 2000.0)` — the **flat** option — three
+lines under a branch that had already stopped doing that. Both directions were
+measured before the fix:
+
+* a roster of two 2000 W units beside a leftover `max_w: 5000` from a
+  single-inverter install, with `unit_sign_disagree_w: 3000`, produced **zero
+  problems**. The site started, the status page said `armed`, and the per-unit
+  watchdog could not trip on **either** unit. Identical sentence to the blocker,
+  reached through the branch beside it;
+* and a roster of two 5000 W units with no flat key was **refused** at 3000 W
+  against a 2000 W *default the operator never wrote*, for a threshold both
+  units can reach.
+
+It takes the same `weakest` the branch above takes, from the same list, and
+names the same unit. At a roster of one `unit_caps()` is `[max_w]`, so the
+shipped single-inverter refusal is the same comparison, the same boundary and
+the same sentence. Both directions are asserted in `test_validate.py`.
+
+### ⚠️ WHAT THE PIN CANNOT SEE — open rows, with sizes
+
+1. **Semantics.** `min` vs `max` vs the mean: zero-byte edits, invisible to any
+   shape pin. Only the behavioural sets above can see them, and they only see
+   the rules they drive.
+2. **Direct index sites that are not reductions.** `self.inverters[0]` in
+   `_only()` and `actuator_of()`, `self.inverters[self.maint_index]` in
+   `maint_unit`, `entries[index]` in `_unit_label()`. Single-unit lookups, meant
+   to be, graded where they live.
+3. **A subscript by a NAME.** `weights[u]`, `cap[u]`, `add[u]` in
+   `allocator._fill` are keyed lookups into a roster-derived mapping and are
+   accepted deliberately, so `caps[i]` with a variable `i` would pass. Not in
+   the family this card has been defeated by; buying it costs four false reports.
+4. **A slice through an intermediate call.** `sorted(roster)[:1]` subscripts a
+   call result, not a roster reference. Nothing in `app/` is written that way
+   today; if something is, it would not be seen.
+5. **Anything outside `app/`.** `tools/`, `sim/` and the checks themselves are
+   not parsed — and `sim/inject.py` reaches `validate_startup_config()`.
+6. **The taint's own seam.** It crosses a call boundary only where the callee is
+   a plain function this package defines and the argument is positional or
+   keyword. A roster handed through `*args`, stored in a dict and read back, or
+   passed to a method on an unresolvable object, is lost at that hop — and
+   everything downstream goes **unenumerated** rather than reported unreachable.
+   That is the shape of the remaining exposure: not zero, and not measurable
+   from inside the check.
+7. **`cycle()`'s undeliverable-unit log line** (row 22 of §4c) is still green at
+   +4 bytes, unchanged from round 4 and still filed open.
+
+## 5. ⚠️ THE RESIDUAL — a per-pack EMS floor is NOT this card
+
+`peak_soc_floor` is still **one number for the site**, so the card's own
+"or the deeper pack is needlessly withheld" half is not closed and this record
+does not pretend it is. With cut-outs of 10 % and 18 %, rule 8 obliges the
+operator to set the EMS floor above 18, and the 10 % pack is then held above its
+own need. Closing that means `peak_soc_floor` becoming a per-entry key too, which
+is a second option migration and a product decision about what the site-wide
+number then means. The card scoped itself to `bms_soc_floor` and explicitly told
+this developer not to widen it, so it is filed here as the open question it is
+rather than smuggled in.
+
+**Also still not in this card, and named by the shipped code already:** the
+charge *ceiling* is the mirror image — `pack_floor_soc` is the wrong reduction
+for it, because a ceiling is the **fullest** pack and `arbitrage`'s `soc_ceiling`
+takes one number. `main.py:932-936` says so, and it belongs to CFG-04/SPIKE-04's
+per-pack bound. Nothing here touched it.
+
+## 6. What was changed, and one thing that was found on the way
+
+* `config.yaml` — `bms_soc_floor: int(0,50)` required per `inverters:` entry;
+  the flat key and its default are untouched and are documented as the
+  single-inverter shape's own cut-out.
+* `app/inverter.py` — `Inverter.bms_soc_floor`; `_entry_bms_floor()` (`None`, not
+  a borrowed number and not `0.0`); `_flat_bms_floor()`.
+* `app/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.
+* `app/validate.py` — `unit_bms_floors_indexed()`; rule 8 grades every unit and
+  names it via the **roster** index the value came off.
+* `app/main.py` — `Controller.packs`; the `decide(soc_floor=…)` reduction; the
+  floor-limited notification names the pack(s) at or below their own floor, at a
+  roster of two or more only.
+* `tools/supervisor_shape_probe.py` — **re-run, and repaired.** MUTATION.md
+  habit 8: a committed transcript is a check and it decays. Making the key
+  required broke §C outright and, worse, left §D printing **PASS** on a refusal
+  about the *wrong key* — its "no `max_w`" case was answered `Missing option
+  'bms_soc_floor'`. §D is now an isolated counterfactual over a **merged,
+  accepted** baseline with exactly one key varied per case, asserting the key's
+  **name** in the refusal, and it carries a `bms_soc_floor` case in both
+  directions. Re-run against `ghcr.io/home-assistant/amd64-hassio-supervisor:2026.08.0`:
+  `all cases passed`.
+* `app/inverter.py`, found by the mutation battery — `_flat_bms_floor()` was
+  written with the default in **two** places (the `.get()` fallback *and* the
+  blank test). Deleting either one survived, because each covered for the other:
+  MUTATION.md's masking section in three lines of option reading. It has one
+  defaulting line now, and M12 takes six checks red.
+
+* **Round 3 changed no `app/` file at all.** `test_peakguard.py` only:
+  parts 12c2 and 12g. Its battery was **46 mutations across
+  `binding_soc_floor()`'s reduction, the `decide()` call site, `Controller.packs`
+  and `pack_floor_pct()`'s conjunction** — bytecode purged and counted before and
+  after each (23 → 0). **43 red, 3 survivors, all three recorded above and in the
+  in-process rows**: `max(floors[:12])` and `max(floors[-12:])`, which need a
+  13-pack roster to observe and are reported with that size rather than hidden;
+  and `max(set(floors))`, which is **equivalent** — `max` is duplicate-invariant,
+  so it cannot change an answer. `list(reversed(self.packs))` is equivalent too
+  (`max` is order-invariant) and is nonetheless red on the structural pin.
+
+⚠️ **No measurement of inverter B appears anywhere in this change.** It does not
+physically exist. Every second-pack number in a fixture, in the probe and in
+config.yaml's commented example is **simulated and labelled as such**; only the
+10 % on inverter A is read off hardware. The three-pack runs added in round 3 are simulated
+twice over: there is no inverter C at all, and the shallow slots carry inverter
+A's measured 10 % while the 35 % cut-out that moves along the roster is invented.
+

+## 7. The probe transcript, re-run 2026-09-05 on 2026.08.0

+      ghcr.io/home-assistant/amd64-hassio-supervisor:2026.08.0 \
+      /probe/supervisor_shape_probe.py
+```
+
+It reads `config.yaml` and runs Supervisor's own `AppOptions` validator in a
+throwaway container. It touches no live Supervisor, POSTs nothing and installs
+nothing.
+
+⚠️ **RE-RUN AGAIN ON 2026-09-05**, because the rebase onto `67e649a` merged
+SPIKE-04a's `max_w: 4600` into the same §C/§D blocks this card had rewritten,

+# TEL-07 — why inverter A does not get a device of its own, and B does
+
+**Status: DECIDED 2026-09-05.** MQTT discovery announces **two** devices at a
+roster of two: the existing one, unchanged, plus one for the second inverter.
+It does **not** announce one per inverter. This document exists because the
+symmetrical design is the obvious one, is tidier, and would destroy the live
+system's recorded history — so the next person to read `app/mqtt.py` needs the
+reason written down where they will find it before they "fix" it.
+
+Filed with TEL-07. Card `6a9bfa75f0a3550275ba4888`.
+
+---
+
+## 1. The mechanism, in one paragraph
+
+`app/mqtt.py`'s own note records the finding, tested on HA 2026.8: Home
+Assistant composes an entity id from the **device name plus the entity name**,
+and `object_id` in the discovery payload does **not** override it. So the device
+name is half of every entity id.
+
+The second half of the mechanism is the half that makes it silent. Home
+Assistant keeps the entity id it composed at **first** discovery. Re-scoping the
+device therefore does not rename an entity in place; it creates a **new** entity
+beside the old one. The recorded history stays on the old id, the old id stops
+updating, and nothing errors. Every dashboard card, template and automation that
+names it — including `goodwe_master_watchdog_held_*` and
+`goodwe_master_parked_at_0_w_*`, which are live — keeps pointing at a sensor
+that has quietly gone flat.
+
+`sensor.goodwe_p1_sample_age` is the sharp end of it: the ESP32's stale-input
+watchdog subscribes to that composed name, and its own comment calls this the
+failure that "FAILS SILENTLY AND LOOKS CORRECT".
+
+## 2. The two designs
+
+| | **one device per inverter** | **what shipped** |
+|---|---|---|
+| A's device | new: `inverter-a` | **the one it already has** |
+| B's device | new: `inverter-b` | new: `goodwe_rs485_controller_inverter_b` |
+| A's existing entity ids | **all renamed** | **byte-identical** |
+| A's recorded history | **stranded on dead ids** | kept |
+| watchdog automations | **silently broken** | untouched |
+| composed per-unit ids | `sensor.goodwe_inverter_a_*` / `..._b_*` | **the same** |
+| reads as | symmetrical and tidy | asymmetrical, and needs this file |
+
+The last two rows are the whole argument. The tidy design's only real benefit is
+a pair of symmetric, predictable entity ids — and the shipped design produces
+**exactly the same ids** by putting the unit's name in the *entity* name for the
+first roster entry and in the *device* name for the others. There is nothing
+left to buy, and the price was the live system's history.
+
+## 3. What is per-unit and what is site
+
+**Per-unit:** setpoint (this unit's share of the site target, the number its own
+heartbeat re-emits), battery power (`Inverter.batt`, register `0x0518`, this
+unit's own reading), SoC (`Inverter.soc` — **this** pack; the site row is the
+*emptiest* pack, which at N≥2 may be the other one), and the SAFETY-02 sign
+latch, which is one instance per actuator by construction.
+
+**Site:** `grid` and `p1_sample_age_s`. There is one P1 meter and one grid
+connection, so a per-inverter copy invents two of a thing there is one of — and
+`p1_sample_age_s` is a **watchdog input**, so a second copy is a second answer to
+"is the meter fresh?", one of which is always the one nobody is looking at.
+Circulating power is site because it *is* a property of the set
+(`sum(|Bᵢ|) − |sum(Bᵢ)|`); so are the controller status, the maintenance phase
+and the capacity-tariff peak.
+
+**Named as absent rather than left looking finished:** the card also lists
+"inverter AC power" and per-unit heartbeats as per-unit. Neither has a source in
+the add-on today — nothing reads an AC-power register per unit, and
+`Inverter.last_beat` is a monotonic loop clock with no wall-clock age published
+anywhere. Announcing them would create entities nothing ever feeds, which is the
+hazard the `omit` note in `mqtt.py` exists to refuse. They are gaps.
+
+## 4. Why a roster of one announces nothing
+
+Every install running today is a roster of one, and at N=1 the site rows **are**
+that unit's rows: `battery` is its power, `soc` is its pack. Four extra entities
+would be four new rows carrying numbers already on the dashboard, on a live
+system, for no information. `announced_units()` answers `[]` below
+`PER_UNIT_MIN_ROSTER`, and `Controller.publish()` reads **that same list** —
+the empty list is the gate on both halves, rather than a predicate written twice
+that could later disagree.
+
+## 5. How it was verified, and what that does not cover
+
+The claim is a **diff of the announced payloads** against `release/1.0`,
+generated by running that commit's module rather than transcribed from it:
+`9 topics, 0 missing, 0 changed, 0 added` at a roster of one, and
+`0 missing, 0 changed, 8 added` at a roster of two. `test_mqtt.py` part 2 shows
+`_announce()` publishes exactly what is diffed, so the comparison is against the
+bytes paho is handed.
+
+Sixteen mutations were run. Twelve are in the file as a running table, each
+named with the property it breaks. Three properties in that table exist only
+because the table found their absence — dropping the unit from the state topic,
+moving `grid` into the per-unit list, and `units=()` in main()'s publisher call
+were all green on the first run, as was a roster fallback that named two
+nameless entries `inverter-a`.
+
+**What it does not cover is listed in `test_mqtt.py` part 9, with sizes.** The
+largest item: Home Assistant itself is not in the loop. The entity-id
+composition is a **model**, anchored on exactly one measured id
+(`sensor.goodwe_p1_sample_age`, verified against the live system 2026-08-26).
+Closing that needs a broker, an HA and the owner present, and this card is not
+allowed near the live install.
+
+## 6. ⚠️ Inverter B does not exist
+
+Not until ~2026-09-12. Every roster of two in this repository's checks is
+**simulated**; B's `max_w: 4600` is the datasheet's figure for a GW5048D-ES
+(serial `55048ESU22AW0992`), recorded in `goodwe/NOTES.md` §1.1b, and nothing
+about B has ever been measured. No entity described here has been seen on a
+broker. When the second inverter is installed, the first thing to check is that
+the eight ids in §1 are still updating — not that the new ones appeared.

 ## Configuration
 
+### What the Configuration tab actually shows you (UX-01)
+
+Since **UX-01** the add-on ships `translations/en.yaml` and `translations/nl.yaml`,
+so Home Assistant's *Configuration* tab renders human labels and a description
+for every option instead of the raw option keys. What that does and does not buy
+you is worth stating plainly, because it was **measured against the Supervisor
+image this site runs** (`ghcr.io/home-assistant/amd64-hassio-supervisor:2026.08.0`)
+rather than assumed — `tools/supervisor_shape_probe.py` section F prints the
+whole rendered list, in both languages.

+|---|---|
+| **All 70 options are always shown** | The frontend keeps a field when `name in options \|\| required`, and every key is in `options:`. There is no "advanced" fold |
+| **Order comes from `schema:`** | `App.schema_ui` is `UiOptions(...)(data["schema"])`, so the **schema half** of `config.yaml` decides the order the tab renders in — not the `options:` half |

+| **The description says whether to touch it** | A number that was **derived** names the campaign it came from and says not to change it without re-deriving; a number that is genuinely yours (`max_w`, `peak_cap_w`) says **"THIS IS YOUR NUMBER"**; and `cycle_cost_threshold_eur`, which is neither, says it is an open product question |
+| **Dutch falls back per key** | `translations[your language]?.name \|\| translations["en"]?.name \|\| the raw key`. A key missing from `nl.yaml` degrades to English; a key present but wrong does not degrade at all |
+| **⚠️ The per-entry keys inside `inverters:` still render raw** | Measured, and negative. A list-of-objects becomes an `object` selector with `multiple: true`, and `ha-selector-object` labels its fields `fields[name].label \|\| name` — the converter sets no `label` and no `translation_key`. The `fields:` translations are shipped and validated (they are the shape Supervisor's own schema defines) but on frontend 20250925.1 they do **not** reach the screen. The `inverters` label and description themselves do |
+
+`test_translations.py` is what stops this rotting: a translation naming an
+option that does not exist, or an option with no translation, fails CI — in
+either direction, and the check is mutation-tested both ways.

+published — `Setpoint`, `Grid power`, `Battery power`, `Battery SoC`,
+`Circulating power`, `Maintenance phase`, `Controller status`, `P1 sample age` —
+keep their device, their `unique_id`s and therefore their **entity ids and their
+whole recorded history**. At a roster of one, nothing new is announced at all:
+no second device, no renamed entity, not one added topic.
+
+Declare a second inverter and **four rows per unit** appear beside them:
+
+| per-unit row | what it is |
+|---|---|
+| `Setpoint` | this unit's own share of the site target — the number its heartbeat re-emits |
+| `Battery power` | this unit's own reading, `+` = discharging |
+| `Battery SoC` | **this** pack. The site `Battery SoC` row is the *emptiest* pack, which may be the other one |
+| `Sign latch` | this unit's SAFETY-02 latch: `tripped` or `clear` |
+
+⚠️ **The devices are deliberately asymmetric, and it is not an oversight.** The
+first inverter's rows are added to the **existing** *GoodWe* device; every later
+inverter gets its **own** device (*GoodWe Inverter B*), shown in Home Assistant
+as connected via the controller. Home Assistant composes an entity id from the
+**device name plus the entity name**, so giving the first inverter a device of
+its own would rename every entity you already have — and because HA keeps the id
+it composed at first discovery, you would get a new entity beside a dead one:
+the history stays on the old id and every dashboard, template and automation
+naming it silently stops updating. The entity ids come out symmetric anyway —
+`sensor.goodwe_inverter_a_battery_power` beside
+`sensor.goodwe_inverter_b_battery_power`.
+
+**Do not rename the device.** Not in this add-on, and not in Home Assistant's
+device page. It is half of every entity id, including
+`sensor.goodwe_p1_sample_age`, which the ESP32's stale-input watchdog subscribes
+to; a rename disarms that guard by leaving it waiting for a state that never
+arrives, and it fails silently and looks correct.
+
+**`Grid power` and `P1 sample age` stay site-scoped and are announced once.**
+There is one P1 meter and one grid connection; a per-inverter copy would invent
+two of a thing there is one of, and `P1 sample age` is a safety input. Same for
+`Circulating power` (it is a property of the *set* of inverters), the controller
+status, the maintenance phase and the capacity-tariff peak.
+
+⚠️ **Two roster names that differ only in punctuation or case** — `inverter-b`
+and `Inverter B` — are two names to the validator and one id once slugged. The
+add-on gives the second one a `_2` suffix so nothing collides, but the ids you
+get then depend on roster order. Give your inverters plainly different names.

+10. **A fixture of N members cannot separate two reductions that agree on N
+    members — so grade the FAMILY, and grade it from the SOURCE.** This is the
+    only lesson SAFETY-32 cost four review rounds to learn, and it generalises
+    past packs to every roster, list and window in this repository. Two packs
+    cannot tell `max` from `min` from first from last. Three cannot tell `max`
+    from `max(x[-2:])`. **The regress does not terminate in a fixture**: `[:1]`
+    needs two members, `[:2]` three, `[:3]` four, and adding one more member
+    moves the hole rather than closing it. Three things follow, and all three
+    are now in `test_peakguard.py` parts 12c2, 12g, 12i and 12j:
+    * the fixture is a **SET** — the extreme at every position of the roster,
+      not one roster with the extreme somewhere;
+    * the family table is **COMPUTED and PRINTED**, so a member no fixture kills
+      shows up as a named survivor and takes the check red, instead of being
+      absent from a list nobody re-derived;
+    * where the claim is an **IDENTITY** ("this roster", "this list"), pin it
+      **exactly on the AST** — `ast.unparse(arg) == "self.packs"` is false of
+      every slice, where `"self.packs" in src` is true of all of them. Where the
+      claim is **SEMANTIC** ("the maximum"), a shape pin would refuse honest
+      refactors, so report the unreached width **with its size** instead.
+
+11. **When a check of this shape is found, mutate its SIBLINGS before shipping
+    the fix.** SAFETY-32 was rejected three times for the same defect one step
+    over: the reduction, then the roster handed to it, then the reduction handed
+    to the *other argument of the same call*. Enumerating the family from the
+    AST and mutating each member took one afternoon and found **four more
+    survivors in code the card never touched** — three of SAFETY-30's
+    `any(i.sign_wd.tripped for i in self.inverters)` reductions, invisible
+    because the only fixture that reached them was a roster of ONE, where
+    `self.inverters[:1]` **is** `self.inverters`. Ask of every fix: *what is the
+    sibling of the thing I just hardened, and does any fixture separate it from
+    a slice of itself?*
+
+12. **When the same shape has been found twice, STOP CLOSING SITES AND BUILD
+    THE INSTRUMENT — and make it DISCOVER its own scope.** SAFETY-32 was
+    rejected four times, and each round closed exactly the site it was handed:
+    the reduction, then the roster handed to it, then the *sibling argument* of
+    the same call, then the same family one *module* over, in validate.py.
+    Round 4 did enumerate — and enumerated inside the `Controller` class,
+    because that is where the four known sites lived. **A hand-written scope is
+    the same defect as a hand-written fixture**: it is a check whose data cannot
+    reach the failure it names, and it goes on passing while the thing it was
+    supposed to cover sits in the file nobody added to the list. Round 5's pin
+    parses every `.py` under `app/`, seeds itself from ONE option key, and
+    propagates through returns, accumulator loops, attributes and *call
+    arguments* to find the roster wherever it went — 183 reductions across 9
+    modules. It rediscovered all four blockers without being told where to look,
+    and it named two modules the hand-written list would not have contained
+    (`maintenance.py`, `store.py`) while *omitting* one the list did contain
+    (`watchdog.py`, which is strictly per-unit and reduces over no roster at
+    all). **The list was wrong in both directions**, which is exactly what a
+    computed scope is for.
+
+13. **Say what the instrument CANNOT see, with sizes, in the same breath.** A
+    structural pin grades an **identity** ("this whole roster arrives"); it can
+    never grade a **meaning** (`min` vs `max` is a zero-byte edit and invisible
+    to it). Ship the pin AND the behavioural set, name the gap, and give every
+    unreached case its byte delta — `cycle()`'s undeliverable-unit log line
+    (+4 B, still green), a subscript by a *variable* rather than a constant, a
+    slice taken through an intermediate call, anything outside `app/`. **An
+    enumerated list with an honest gap is worth more than a claim of
+    completeness a reviewer falsifies in ten minutes**, and every round of this
+    card that claimed the latter was rejected for it.

 near-miss of it is.** DEV-02's table listed the *actuator* variant of the

+# when a loop-side engagement was a rare event: `main.py`'s note at the action
+# log records "60 cycles of the §10.3 runaway produce 0 write-path engagements

+# ENGAGEMENTS in ~25 minutes of ordinary operation - roughly one cycle in six,
+# not a pinned rail, but far more often than a guard sized for 2-in-60 assumed -
+# and the owner received a persistent notification about it all day. ⚠️ NOT
+# because of the 30 s re-assert - see the block below; those notifications never
+# consulted this constant at all.
+#
+# ⚠️ BOTH FIGURES ARE ENGAGEMENT COUNTS; only the regime differs - 2-in-60 was

+# install. The 48 is read off the live log, not measured in this repo.
+#
+# ⚠️ AND RAISING THIS CONSTANT ALONE DID NOT FIX THAT FLOOD - review found it
+# and the first version of this change was wrong. At ~5 s cycles a 1-in-6
+# engagement leaves ~25 s of clean cycles between engagements, past
+# CLEAR_CYCLES x 5 s = 15 s, so the alarm DE-ASSERTED between almost every one
+# and came back as a fresh rising edge. The rising edge used to fire
+# unconditionally, so those notifications never consulted this constant at all:
+# 48 notifications at 30 s, and still 48 at 150 s. The fix was to rate-limit the
+# RISING EDGE too and let `last_alarm` survive a de-assert, so this interval
+# bounds the notification rate across episodes rather than only within one.
+# Measured on that same window afterwards: 51 episodes, 11 notifications.
+#
+# WHY the loop reaches its integrator bound so much more often than the guard's
+# author saw: `max_w` on the live install is 5000 W, while the loop's slew was
+# derived against a 1500 W clamp - admin/goodwe `NOTES.md` §"Simulated 2 kW load
+# step (gain 0.6, clamp 1500)". ⚠️ THAT DERIVATION IS IN THE OTHER REPO; nothing
+# in this one corroborates it, so do not go looking here. SAFETY-39 is the ticket
+# that re-derives it, and fixing that is what would stop the railing; this
+# constant only changes how often the alarm repeats.
+#
+# ⚠️ 150 s IS THE REQUIREMENT'S EDGE WITH MARGIN, AND THE CHECK NOW ENFORCES THAT
+# EDGE. `test_clamp.py` part 2 grades the cadence in wall-clock terms - a pinned
+# loop must speak at least MIN_PER_QUARTER = 5 times inside the 900 s quarter
+# that bills the capacity tariff - which caps this constant at 900/5 = 180 s.
+# Measured on the worst sliding 900 s window: 180 s earns 5 alarms, 181 s earns
+# 4. 150 s earns 6.
+#
+# ⚠️ THAT CHECK USED TO PERMIT 224 s, AND THE FIX SHIPPED WITH THIS COMMIT. Its
+# sweep starts at i=0, where the rising edge is free, so it measured one alarm
+# more than a real quarter earns. A later editor raising this to 200 s would have
+# had a green suite and a requirement quietly unmet. `test_clamp.py` now grades
+# floor(QUARTER_S / REASSERT_S) directly.
+#
+# ⚠️ MIN_PER_QUARTER = 5 IS A TEST-LOCAL INTEGER, not a spec figure - it exists
+# only in `test_clamp.py` and the CHANGELOG entry that introduced it. The 900 s

+#
+#   EVERY LATER ENTRY GETS ITS OWN DEVICE (`via_device` the site one).

+#              SAFETY-02 sign latch, which is per actuator by construction.
+#
+#   SITE       `grid` and `p1_age`. There is ONE P1 meter and ONE grid
+#              connection; announcing them per inverter would invent two of a
+#              thing there is one of. `p1_sample_age_s` is additionally a
+#              WATCHDOG INPUT (see `omit` below and the firmware note above), so
+#              a second copy of it is a second copy of a safety signal - two

+because there was one pack. At two, two batteries of different models have
+different cut-outs, and one number for both is wrong in the direction that
+empties a battery: the SHALLOWER pack (the higher cut-out) is protected by a
+floor that belongs to the DEEPER one. So it became a roster key - `Pack` carries
+each unit's own value, `pack_floor_pct()` conjoins it with the site's EMS floor,
+and validate.py rule 8 grades EVERY unit and NAMES the one it refuses.
+
+⚠️ `peak_soc_floor` DID NOT MOVE, AND THE RESIDUAL IS RECORDED RATHER THAN
+HIDDEN. It is one number for the site, so with cut-outs of 10 % and 18 % the
+operator must set it above 18 and the deeper pack is then withheld above its own
+need. That half - a per-pack EMS floor - is NOT this card and must not be
+smuggled in with it; DECISIONS/SAFETY-32-per-pack-bms-floor.md states it as the
+open question it is.
+
+⚠️ AND THE MIN() OVER MEASURED SoC IS STILL RIGHT. `Controller.pack_floor_soc`
+reduces to the emptiest pack and this card does not touch it. What changed is

+"""Runnable check for TEL-07 - the SECOND MQTT device, and A's history.
+`python3 test_mqtt.py`
+
+WHAT THIS FILE IS FOR, in one sentence: to prove by DIFFING THE ANNOUNCED
+PAYLOADS - not by reading the code - that giving inverter B its own MQTT device
+changes nothing about inverter A's.
+
+⚠️ WHY THAT IS THE WHOLE CARD. `app/mqtt.py`'s own note records the finding:
+Home Assistant composes an entity_id from the DEVICE name plus the ENTITY name,
+and `object_id` in the discovery payload did NOT override it (tested on HA
+2026.8). So re-scoping the device renames every entity - and because HA keeps
+the id it composed at FIRST discovery, what a rename actually produces is a NEW
+entity beside a DEAD one. The recorded history stays behind on the old id, and
+every dashboard, template and automation that names it - including the three
+live watchdog automations `goodwe_master_watchdog_held_*` and
+`goodwe_master_parked_at_0_w_*` - goes on pointing at an entity that has quietly
+stopped updating. Nothing errors. That is the failure this file exists to make
+impossible to ship.
+
+⚠️ AND THE TEMPTING DESIGN IS THE DESTRUCTIVE ONE. "One device per inverter" -
+A becomes `inverter-a`, B becomes `inverter-b` - is symmetrical and tidy and is
+exactly the change described above. A KEEPS THE DEVICE IT ALREADY HAS; only B
+gets a new one. Part 8 below writes that tidy version and shows it going red.
+
+THE SHAPE OF THE EVIDENCE. Part 1 records what `release/1.0` actually publishes -
+generated by running THAT commit's module, not transcribed - and every later
+part is a diff against it, reported as `N topics, M missing, C changed, A added`.
+
+  Part 1  The recorded baseline, and the diff at a roster of one and of none.
+  Part 2  `_announce()` publishes EXACTLY `discovery_payloads()` and nothing
+          else, so parts 1 and 3-8 are diffing what goes on the wire.
+  Part 3  A roster of two: A's nine messages byte-identical, eight added.
+  Part 4  Zero overlap between A's entities and B's - topics, unique_ids,
+          object_ids, state topics, and devices.
+  Part 5  Site-scoped sensors stay site-scoped, at every roster length 1-6.
+  Part 6  The composed entity_ids, modelled INDEPENDENTLY of `app/mqtt.py`, and
+          anchored on the one composed id that was verified against the live
+          system (`sensor.goodwe_p1_sample_age`, mqtt.py's own note).
+  Part 7  ⚠️ THE ANNOUNCEMENT AND THE PUBLICATION AGREE, on a real `Controller`,
+          with the two units carrying DIFFERENT numbers - so a swap is visible.
+  Part 8  ⚠️ VERIFIED BY BREAKING IT. Twelve mutations of the shipped module,
+          re-executed from mutated source, each one named with the property it
+          breaks. A property nothing breaks is a property nothing is watching.
+  Part 9  What these checks CANNOT see, enumerated and sized.
+
+⚠️ THE FIXTURE GIVES A AND B DIFFERENT NAMES, DIFFERENT RATINGS, DIFFERENT SoC,
+DIFFERENT BATTERY POWER AND DIFFERENT LATCH STATES, ON PURPOSE. A fixture whose
+two units are equal cannot observe a bug that swaps them - MUTATION.md habit 4,
+and the defect this repository has now shipped six cards in a row.
+
+⚠️ INVERTER B DOES NOT PHYSICALLY EXIST (~2026-09-12). Every number attributed
+to it below is SIMULATED, from the datasheet and serial recorded in NOTES.md
+§1.1b (GW5048D-ES, serial 55048ESU22AW0992, max_w 4600 W). Nothing here is
+measured, and nothing here should ever be quoted as if it were.
+
+⚠️ MUTATING THE MODULE THIS FILE GRADES? PURGE `__pycache__` FIRST - or run
+`tools/mutation_run.sh`, which does. `python3 -B` alone does NOT save you: it
+stops bytecode being WRITTEN, not a stale one being READ. Read MUTATION.md.
+Part 8 sidesteps the whole problem by exec'ing mutated SOURCE into a fresh
+namespace, so no `.pyc` is involved at any point.

+"""UX-01 - the Configuration tab's labels, and the check that stops them rotting.
+
+RUN:  python3 -B test_translations.py       (no third-party imports; the add-on
+                                             CI image is Alpine + aiohttp + paho)
+
+WHAT THIS FILE IS FOR. Before UX-01 there was no `translations/` directory at
+all, so Home Assistant rendered the raw option KEYS - `unit_sign_disagree_w`,
+`saturation_cycles`, `integrator_max_w` - for all seventy options, in
+`schema:` order, with no description. The two files this grades are what turn
+that into sentences, and the highest-value half of them is not the label: it is
+the sentence that says WHETHER TO TOUCH THE VALUE, because the tab presents a
+constant derived from 1890 closed-loop test runs and the operator's own inverter
+rating as the same kind of field.
+
+⚠️ WHAT THIS FILE CANNOT SEE, SAID FIRST. It grades COVERAGE and PROVENANCE
+CITATIONS - that every option has a name and a description in both languages,
+that no translation names an option that does not exist, and that each derived
+constant's English description cites the record it was derived from. It does NOT
+grade whether a sentence is true, whether the Dutch is good Dutch, or whether
+the result looks right on screen. The last of those is measured, not asserted,
+by `tools/supervisor_shape_probe.py` section F, which loads these files with
+Supervisor 2026.08.0's OWN loader out of the release image, runs its OWN
+`UiOptions`, replays the frontend's label resolution as the shipped bundle
+writes it, and prints every rendered row. That transcript is the evidence; this
+file is the gate that keeps it true.
+
+⚠️ AND THE PARSER IS THE OTHER HALF OF THAT PAIR. There is no PyYAML in the CI
+image and a check that skips on ImportError is not a check, so
+`tools/translations_lint.py` parses these files by hand. A hand parser that
+quietly disagrees with the real loader is exactly the defect this repository
+keeps finding, so the probe imports THAT SAME MODULE and asserts, key by key and
+string by string, that it returns what `supervisor.store.data.
+_read_app_translations()` returns. Part 5 below re-states the arrangement so a
+reader of this file is told where the licence for the hand parser comes from.
+
+MUTATION.md is the method for the ledger in part 6; `tools/mutation_run.sh` is
+the harness, and every row there was RUN rather than reasoned about.

+print("SPIKE-04a: inverter B's documented rating, and the provenance beside it")
+# ⚠️ WHY A DOCUMENTATION CARD LEFT A CHECK BEHIND. Inverter B's rating was
+# written down in THREE places - config.yaml's commented roster example,
+# DOCS.md's, and tools/supervisor_shape_probe.py's "a blob an operator would
+# POST" - as 3000 W, a figure nobody had measured, read off a datasheet, or
+# sourced at all. It was wrong: SPIKE-04a (2026-09-04) identified inverter B
+# from the owner's model number and serial as a GoodWe GW5048D-ES rated 4600 W
+# on the battery path. Three transcriptions of one number drifting away from
+# the truth together is this repo's recurring defect in its plainest form, and
+# correcting them once WITHOUT PINNING THEM buys nothing: the next editor
+# touches one of the three and the other two stay wrong, silently.
+#
+# ⚠️ AND THE PROVENANCE IS GRADED, NOT ONLY THE VALUE, WHICH IS THE HALF THAT
+# MATTERS. 4600 W IS FROM A DATASHEET AND IS NOT A MEASUREMENT. 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 - which would put the AC
+# ceiling nearer 4324 W. An editor who tidies that caveat away leaves a paper
+# number reading as an observation of hardware that does not exist yet, and
+# THAT is the failure this card exists to prevent. So the caveat is what these
+# checks reach for; a check that graded 4600 alone would watch the value and
+# miss the lie.
+#
+# ⚠️ WHAT THIS DELIBERATELY DOES NOT GRADE: the test fixtures. Several files
+# build a second inverter at 3000 W on purpose, because the property those
+# checks consume is that B's rating is UNMISTAKABLY not A's, and the real pair
+# (5000/4600) is a 400 W gap - narrower than `slew_w`. Those are illustrative,

+# members cannot separate two reductions that agree on N members, and adding a
+# member moves the hole instead of closing it.
+#
+# SO THE FIXTURE IS A SET, NOT A ROSTER: the smallest cap at EVERY POSITION of
+# rosters of width 2, 3, 4 and 5. `[:1]` needs width 2 to be caught, `[:2]`
+# needs 3, `[:3]` needs 4 - the sweep is what terminates the regress that a

+"""UX-01: read config.yaml's option surface and the translations, and compare.
+
+⚠️ WHY THIS IS A MODULE AND NOT A FUNCTION INSIDE THE CHECK. Two very different
+programs have to agree about what is in `translations/*.yaml`:
+
+  * `test_translations.py`, which runs in the add-on's own CI image - Alpine,
+    python3 + py3-aiohttp + py3-paho-mqtt and NOTHING ELSE. There is no PyYAML
+    there and a check that skips on ImportError is not a check, so the parser
+    below is written by hand;
+  * `tools/supervisor_shape_probe.py`, which runs inside the real Home Assistant
+    Supervisor image and loads the same files with the loader Home Assistant
+    ACTUALLY uses (`supervisor.utils.yaml.read_json_or_yaml_file`, validated by
+    `SCHEMA_APP_TRANSLATIONS`).
+
+A hand parser that quietly disagrees with the real loader is precisely the
+defect this repository keeps finding - a check whose data cannot reach the
+failure it names. So the probe imports THIS module and asserts, key by key and
+string by string, that `parse_translation_file()` and the real loader return the
+same thing. That equality is the licence for CI to use the hand parser at all.
+
+The parser is DELIBERATELY STRICT. It accepts exactly the shape UX-01 generates
+- two-space indentation, one `key:` mapping opener or one `key: "double quoted
+scalar"` per line, `#` comments, blank lines - and RAISES on anything else. A
+permissive parser would answer "no problems" for a file it had silently skipped
+half of, which is the same failure wearing a passing grade.
