Merge PR #206 : PRICE-02 the price verdict skips ended periods

PRICE-02 review: keep an open buy over midnight in the real-year replay; say which variant the kWh figure is
The production-shaped plan sees tomorrow from 13:00, so most buys are sold the next day or later. The ledger forgot the open buy at each midnight and booked 46 of 51 sales as holdings: 5 trips, +1.21 EUR. Carried over, the same decisions give 51 trips, +13.81 EUR, all clearing the threshold. Decisions are unchanged and identical on the old and new verdict. No assertion changed. DECISIONS: 27.5 -> 42.6 kWh is the refresh-:00, tomorrow-known variant; give the range of the other three.

 # Changelog

+## 0.18.2
+
+**A patch bump: one fix to how the 15-minute demand forecast sensor is read, and no option changes.**
+No option was added, removed or renamed, and no default changed (86 options).
+**Existing installs need no option change:** options that start 0.18.1 also
+start 0.18.2. Only a forecast sensor with no power unit needs a look (below).
+The change below applies with one inverter or two.
+
+**A forecast sensor with no power unit.** If your 15-minute demand forecast
+sensor has no unit, or a unit that is not power (for example kWh), the add-on
+now ignores that forecast. The log warns once, and the Home and Settings pages
+say so while it lasts. Pick a sensor that reads in W or kW.
+
+Contents of this release, in merge order since 0.18.1 (`780c1f6`):
+
+| | |
+|---|---|
+| `09a5485` | The 15-minute demand forecast sensor is now read in its own unit, W or kW, and the old rule that took any value below 50 as kW is gone. With no unit, or a unit that is not power, the forecast is not used, and the log and the pages say so; the settings page no longer says a kW sensor is taken as watts ([[SAFETY-118]], #198) |
+
+### Known issues
+
+- A false "Battery is not keeping up" can still show when the peak guard pauses a maintenance charge ([[SAFETY-92]]).
+- A battery capped at a low limit with a perfectly flat reading can still trip the stale check ([[SAFETY-74]]).
+- A battery whose reading at rest is beyond about ±175 W is still not caught when it refuses ([[SAFETY-97]]).
+- The peak guard can still back off near the end of a 15-minute period when a meter reading is late, by less than 30 s ([[SAFETY-99]]).
+- Two inverters: the maintenance charge can switch on and off while the house is above the peak aim ([[SAFETY-88]]).
+- Two inverters: the "circulating" figure counts a battery's reading at rest ([[SAFETY-98]]).
+- Two inverters: a drain that starts during a big step in house use can send the other battery to full power, and about 1 kW goes to the grid for about 10 s ([[SAFETY-104]]).
+- Two inverters: when a battery comes back during a maintenance charge, the grid can step by several kW at once ([[SAFETY-101]]).
+- Two inverters: when a battery drops out during a solar surplus, the others can swing by up to 1.5 kW in a simulation ([[SAFETY-105]]).
+- Two inverters: after a drain ends, a change in house use can go unanswered for about 9 s, because some readings are old ([[SAFETY-106]]).
+- Two inverters: when one battery's level is missing, both batteries are held at 0 W, and for about 15 s the last command stays on ([[SAFETY-108]]).
+- Two inverters: if one battery's level stays missing for 12 h, the other battery's cycle can be marked failed, with a 7-day wait and a notice, though it is healthy. This comes from reading the code; it has not been seen on a site ([[MAINT-17]]).
+- When the 15-minute demand forecast sensor counts the battery's own charge, the maintenance charge runs at about half the power the peak limit leaves, so it takes about twice as long. Seen on a site: about 1.2 kW instead of 2.5 kW, and the peak limit was kept ([[SAFETY-111]]).
+- One inverter: after a link drop, the battery's own safety stop to 0 W can be taken as a refusal, and the site stays at 0 W for up to 15 min ([[SAFETY-102]]).
+- After a Home Assistant restart, control still waits until Home Assistant has finished starting, which can take several minutes, though the readings are already there ([[SAFETY-115]]).
+- While Home Assistant is not answering, the page can list inverters as refusing commands and sensors as missing, and send you to Developer Tools, though they are fine ([[UX-37]]).
+- If Home Assistant hangs or stops, the page keeps saying "Waiting for Home Assistant" and never turns into an alarm ([[SAFETY-113]]).
+- Right after Home Assistant has started, the page can say for about 4 s that an inverter cannot be controlled, and the first command can come late ([[SAFETY-114]]).
+- After a Home Assistant restart, the controller status sensor can still say "running" while the add-on cannot control. It was seen once, and the cause is not known ([[SAFETY-116]]).
+- Battery modes on: after a planned top-up from the grid, the Batteries screen can say "Enough sun is forecast" ([[UX-32]]).
+- Battery modes on: the forecast line "we count on" can show more sun than the plan counts, because the plan takes house use off first ([[UX-33]]).
+- Battery modes on: before a planned top-up, the Today list shows a smaller "gives" amount than the plan will use; it grows as the charge happens ([[UX-34]]).
+- Two inverters, battery modes on: while the other battery is in its maintenance charge, a battery's card can say it charges from the grid while it stays at 0 W ([[OPT-18]]).
+- Two inverters, battery modes on: while a battery refuses to charge in a cheap run, the action log on the page gets about 8 lines an hour for its retries, and the page hint says "waiting for a better price" ([[UX-38]]).
+- A battery in a safety stop, or one the add-on cannot reach, can still be started for a cycle, and its drain then waits about 12 h and ends in a failed-cycle notice. This comes from reading the code; it has not been seen on a site ([[MAINT-19]]).
+- On the Settings page, the rows of the solar forecast lists are labelled "Phase 1", "Phase 2" instead of "Sensor 1", "Sensor 2" ([[UX-27]]).
+- In the solar forecast list, a blank or repeated row makes "source 2 of 2" count differently from the rows on the Settings page ([[UX-28]]).
+- The solar forecast message says "has no reading" also when the sensor shows a number that is too old or in the wrong unit ([[UX-29]]).
+- If you use only the forecast lists, two Settings notes sit on the single-sensor field, and one of them tells you to set that field ([[UX-30]]).
+- After a restart during a price outage, the "No prices" message can say "yet" when prices did come in earlier ([[UX-39]]).
+- On the new settings page, you cannot see whether a price service token is set. Check the Configuration tab ([[UX-41]]).
+- On the classic settings page, the first click on Save after editing a field can do nothing. Click again ([[UX-42]]).
+- The price chart on the Home page shows one bar per hour, the average of four 15-minute prices, while the add-on decides on the 15-minute prices ([[UX-45]]).

+
+**Price rounding on 0.18.0.** On 0.18.0, the new settings page saved the fixed,

+windows kept their decimals. If you typed more than 2 decimals in those

+| `b703aaa` | The four tariff price fields on the new settings page (fixed, day, night and time windows) take 5 decimals, for example 0.34512 €/kWh, and are saved as typed. A short hint says to divide the c€/kWh on your bill by 100 ([[UX-43]], #194) |
+| `8e02a09` | The dynamic contract choice on the new settings page now says "Dynamic, every 15 minutes" ("Dynamisch, per kwartier") instead of "hourly". The choice works as before, and one line in the docs no longer calls dynamic prices hourly ([[UX-44]], #195) |

+## 0.18.0
+
+**A minor bump: new behaviour, three new options and one new value for an
+existing option.** No option was removed or renamed, and no default of an
+existing option changed (83 options -> 86). **Existing installs need no option
+change:** options that start 0.17.0 also start 0.18.0, and the new options are
+off or empty until you use them. The changes below apply with one inverter or
+two, unless a line says "Two inverters".
+
+New options, and what they do if you leave them alone:
+
+| option | default | left alone |
+|---|---|---|
+| `pv_forecast_entities`, `pv_forecast_tomorrow_entities` | `[]` | the single forecast sensors work as before ([[OPT-17]]) |
+| `price_service_token` | empty | not used; it is read only with `price_provider: price_service` ([[PRICE-01]]) |
+
+`price_provider` also accepts a new value, `price_service`. Its default is
+unchanged, so the price source stays as it is.
+
+**Price service.** The new price source `price_service` reads prices from the
+add-on's price server, with the token you were given. If it does not answer,
+prices come from energy-charts.info, then from the prices the add-on saved.
+Sites on the Home Assistant price sensors or a fixed tariff need no change. To
+move a site over, see `DOCS.md`, "Moving a site from the Home Assistant price
+sensors to `price_service`".
+
+Contents of this release, in merge order since 0.17.0 (`e36565f`):
+
+| | |
+|---|---|
+| `3050fa5` | The solar forecast can come from several sensors, added up, for example one per inverter. If one of them has no reading, that day's forecast is not used, and the status says which one. The single sensor still works ([[OPT-17]]) |
+| `e3e4ba6` | While Home Assistant is still starting, the page now says "Waiting for Home Assistant" and the log says the add-on waits, instead of looking like a fault. Control itself is unchanged: it starts when Home Assistant answers ([[SAFETY-112]]) |
+| `79dd077` | Battery modes on only: a charge in a cheap run no longer stops at the start of a new 15-minute period, and with two inverters a battery that refused to charge is tried again every 15 min. In one test, the export at the end of a charge was 48 W where the code before this fix gave 746 W ([[OPT-15]]) |
+| `0ce7d35` | Two inverters: each battery card has Start cycle and Stop cycle buttons, so you can start or stop the cycle on the battery you choose. Only one battery can cycle at a time, and a second start is refused with a short message ([[MAINT-11]]) |
+| `bf9019e` | New price source `price_service`. If it fails, prices come from energy-charts.info, then from saved prices. With no price at all and the monthly cycle on, a notice shows and the cycle waits ([[PRICE-01]]) |
+| `004f859` | Two inverters, battery modes on: the 15-minute retry of a battery that refused to charge now asks that battery for 200 W, and no longer puts the rest of the charge on another battery. In the test, without this fix, a battery in its maintenance charge took about 2,300 W for about 34 s at each retry ([[OPT-20]]) |
+
+### Known issues
+
+- A false "Battery is not keeping up" can still show when the peak guard pauses a maintenance charge ([[SAFETY-92]]).
+- A battery capped at a low limit with a perfectly flat reading can still trip the stale check ([[SAFETY-74]]).
+- A battery whose reading at rest is beyond about ±175 W is still not caught when it refuses ([[SAFETY-97]]).
+- The peak guard can still back off near the end of a 15-minute period when a meter reading is late, by less than 30 s ([[SAFETY-99]]).
+- Two inverters: the maintenance charge can switch on and off while the house is above the peak aim ([[SAFETY-88]]).
+- Two inverters: the "circulating" figure counts a battery's reading at rest ([[SAFETY-98]]).
+- Two inverters: a drain that starts during a big step in house use can send the other battery to full power, and about 1 kW goes to the grid for about 10 s ([[SAFETY-104]]).
+- Two inverters: when a battery comes back during a maintenance charge, the grid can step by several kW at once ([[SAFETY-101]]).
+- Two inverters: when a battery drops out during a solar surplus, the others can swing by up to 1.5 kW in a simulation ([[SAFETY-105]]).
+- Two inverters: after a drain ends, a change in house use can go unanswered for about 9 s, because some readings are old ([[SAFETY-106]]).
+- Two inverters: when one battery's level is missing, both batteries are held at 0 W, and for about 15 s the last command stays on ([[SAFETY-108]]).
+- Two inverters: if one battery's level stays missing for 12 h, the other battery's cycle can be marked failed, with a 7-day wait and a notice, though it is healthy. This comes from reading the code; it has not been seen on a site ([[MAINT-17]]).
+- When the 15-minute demand forecast sensor counts the battery's own charge, the maintenance charge runs at about half the power the peak limit leaves, so it takes about twice as long. Seen on a site: about 1.2 kW instead of 2.5 kW, and the peak limit was kept ([[SAFETY-111]]).
+- One inverter: after a link drop, the battery's own safety stop to 0 W can be taken as a refusal, and the site stays at 0 W for up to 15 min ([[SAFETY-102]]).
+- After a Home Assistant restart, control still waits until Home Assistant has finished starting, which can take several minutes, though the readings are already there ([[SAFETY-115]]).
+- While Home Assistant is not answering, the page can list inverters as refusing commands and sensors as missing, and send you to Developer Tools, though they are fine ([[UX-37]]).
+- If Home Assistant hangs or stops, the page keeps saying "Waiting for Home Assistant" and never turns into an alarm ([[SAFETY-113]]).
+- Right after Home Assistant has started, the page can say for about 4 s that an inverter cannot be controlled, and the first command can come late ([[SAFETY-114]]).
+- After a Home Assistant restart, the controller status sensor can still say "running" while the add-on cannot control. It was seen once, and the cause is not known ([[SAFETY-116]]).
+- Battery modes on: after a planned top-up from the grid, the Batteries screen can say "Enough sun is forecast" ([[UX-32]]).
+- Battery modes on: the forecast line "we count on" can show more sun than the plan counts, because the plan takes house use off first ([[UX-33]]).
+- Battery modes on: before a planned top-up, the Today list shows a smaller "gives" amount than the plan will use; it grows as the charge happens ([[UX-34]]).
+- Two inverters, battery modes on: while the other battery is in its maintenance charge, a battery's card can say it charges from the grid while it stays at 0 W ([[OPT-18]]).
+- Two inverters, battery modes on: while a battery refuses to charge in a cheap run, the action log on the page gets about 8 lines an hour for its retries, and the page hint says "waiting for a better price" ([[UX-38]]).
+- A battery in a safety stop, or one the add-on cannot reach, can still be started for a cycle, and its drain then waits about 12 h and ends in a failed-cycle notice. This comes from reading the code; it has not been seen on a site ([[MAINT-19]]).
+- On the Settings page, the rows of the solar forecast lists are labelled "Phase 1", "Phase 2" instead of "Sensor 1", "Sensor 2" ([[UX-27]]).
+- In the solar forecast list, a blank or repeated row makes "source 2 of 2" count differently from the rows on the Settings page ([[UX-28]]).
+- The solar forecast message says "has no reading" also when the sensor shows a number that is too old or in the wrong unit ([[UX-29]]).
+- If you use only the forecast lists, two Settings notes sit on the single-sensor field, and one of them tells you to set that field ([[UX-30]]).
+- After a restart during a price outage, the "No prices" message can say "yet" when prices did come in earlier ([[UX-39]]).
+- On the new settings page, you cannot see whether a price service token is set. Check the Configuration tab ([[UX-41]]).
+- On the classic settings page, the first click on Save after editing a field can do nothing. Click again ([[UX-42]]).

+# PRICE-01 - the owner's price server as the price source, with fallbacks
+
+**Status: for review.** Tests: `test_price_service.py`. One option added,
+`price_service_token` (password). Follows [[TARIFF-10]], whose section 4 this
+card answers for one provider. Design: the owner's price service note of
+2026-10-05. Owner go 2026-10-05 and 2026-10-14.
+
+## What it is
+
+`price_provider: price_service` reads `GET https://prices.kammenstraatha.duckdns.org/v1/dayahead/BE`
+with `Authorization: Bearer <token>`. The answer is the energy-charts layout
+plus `covers`, so the existing columnar parser reads it. The price is wholesale
+energy only; the framework adds markup and taxes, as for `generic_dayahead`.
+
+## Rules
+
+1. **The host is a constant in the plugin**, declared as its only egress host,
+   HTTPS only. The operator's `price_feed_url` is not read by this provider.
+   *Cost:* every client talks to the one host, and moving the server is a new
+   add-on version. *What replaces the per-site setting:* the egress allow-list,
+   TLS, and a token per client that the server can revoke.
+2. **The chain is server, then energy-charts, then the saved prices**
+   (`app/price_chain.py`). A step counts only if it has a price for *now*: a
+   server that answers with old prices is skipped like one that is down. A step
+   down and a step up are each one log line, written when the step changes. The
+   operator's `price_feed_url` is cleared for the energy-charts step, which is
+   asked for its own feed.
+3. **The saved prices are `/data/price_history.json`**, the file `PriceHistory`
+   already keeps (the last three Brussels days of what was published). They are
+   the all-in prices as stored; a change of markup shows from the next fetch
+   that works. A read from the store is not filed again.
+4. **No price for now** means no published price covers the present moment. Not
+   "none for the coming hours": before about 13:00 tomorrow's prices are not
+   published on any healthy day, and carried hours are already marked estimated.
+   It sets one status row (*Prices*), one Home plan line (English and Dutch),
+   and one notification (*No prices*, English and Dutch), taken down when a
+   price returns. A start-up before the first refresh finished is not a gap.
+   The notification is not re-asserted after a Home Assistant core restart
+   (SAFETY-34 does that for latched safety alarms); the status row stays.
+   *Open for the owner:* if "coming hours" should mean a look-ahead of N hours,
+   that is a change to `gate_for()` and `PriceWatch`, not to the chain.
+5. **The maintenance charge gate** (owner's decision, 2026-10-14): the charge may
+   run when the *current 15-minute price is at or below today's average*, today
+   being the Brussels day, computed from the provider's prices. This is the rule
+   the Home Assistant pair gave (`price_service.yaml`), so a site that moves from
+   the pair to the provider does not change when the maintenance charge runs.
+   It is not `TariffPlan.cheap_now()` (strictly below the mean of the firm
+   hours of the whole plan). This replaces, for this provider only,
+   TARIFF-10 section 4: its three reasons are answered as follows. (1) Two
+   writers: the pair beside a provider stays refused; `static_profile` beside
+   `price_service` is accepted and no longer writes `cheap`. (2) An expired or
+   absent plan shuts the gate (the charge waits), as an unavailable HA sensor
+   did. (3) The basis is the one above, not `cheap_now()`.
+6. **The token is a secret.** `password?` in the schema; hidden on the settings
+   page (`uilayout.HIDDEN`), which can keep `price_service` but not choose it;
+   never put in a message by the plugin; taken out of any reason text by
+   `price.scrub()`; the real transport reports only a status or an exception's
+   name. validate.py refuses `price_service` with no token, a token with a
+   space or line break, and one under 16 characters (so `scrub()`, which skips
+   values under 4 characters, always has something to take out). Round 2: the
+   token is in no page and no JSON answer of the web app. Every `password`
+   option of the schema is shown as `********` (set) or empty, in
+   `/config/model` (`options`, `running`, `ui`) and in a stale refusal; the
+   classic page draws it as a password field; a save or a validate that sends
+   `********` or nothing keeps the stored value, any other value replaces it.
+   A token can therefore be changed but not cleared from the page.
+7. **A fixed tariff beside `price_service` is allowed and quietly noted.** It is
+   still the plan's last fallback (`resolve_tariff` -> `_degrade`); only the
+   cheap window and the gate ignore it, because they read the provider's
+   prices. Keeping it set is the recommended setup, and clearing it triggers the
+   "static_profile is empty" warning, so no notification (round 2's *Fixed
+   tariff not used* was false and fired on every sound start; round 3 removed
+   it). Instead one INFO line at start (English, as every log line) and an info
+   note beside the setting (EN and NL, "With the price service, the fixed
+   tariff is only used if no prices are available."), both
+   only with a non-blank `static_profile` (whitespace counts as blank). At
+   start the add-on dismisses the old notification id, in case a pre-release
+   build raised it.
+8. **The no-price words show only with the maintenance charge on** (owner,
+   2026-10-14): the status row, the Home line and the notification say
+   'maintenance waits', so with `maintenance_enabled` off none is shown.
+
+## Where the gate equals the Home Assistant pair, and where it does not
+
+Equal: `test_price_service.py` section 8 feeds the same day both ways, to the
+rules in `price_service.yaml` (price at the quarter, average of today's
+quarters rounded to 0.00001 EUR/kWh, `<=`), over 6 days including both
+clock-change days, at three instants in every period, and through a real
+`Controller` for a whole day. Every answer is the same.
+
+Not equal, by design or by arithmetic:
+
+- The comparison is made on all-in prices. With a flat taxes figure and a
+  markup and taxes of at most five decimals the offset cancels and the answer
+  is the same. With `price_taxes_profile` (an hour-varying levy) the all-in
+  prices differ by hour, so the answer can differ from the wholesale comparison
+  the HA sensors made. A site on that profile should check before moving.
+- A quarter within 0.00001 EUR/kWh of the average can differ if markup or taxes
+  have more than five decimals.
+- The plan is retired when no refresh has succeeded for 90 minutes
+  (`TARIFF_MAX_AGE_S`) and the gate shuts then. How long the HA pair kept an
+  answer after its REST sensor stopped updating was not measured here.
+- The average is over the firm prices the provider holds for today. After a
+  restart in the middle of a day with only the saved part of today, it is the
+  average of that part.
+
+## Not covered
+
+- **No real answer of the server was seen.** No token was available. The
+  layout is the design's; `test_price_service.py` uses a mock and, for the
+  parser, the real energy-charts capture reshaped with the design's extra keys.
+  The first capture from the live server (rig test) should replace the mock.
+- The 429 limit (about 60 calls an hour) is not approached: one fetch per
+  30 minutes, and at most two requests when the server fails.
+- Battery modes read the plan as for `generic_dayahead` and were not changed.
+- The `price_service` REST and template sensors in Home Assistant are not
+  touched; they stop being read when the pair is cleared.

+# PRICE-02 - the trading verdict skips price periods that have ended
+
+**Status: for review.** Tests: `test_price02.py`. Found by AUDIT-01 (F1).
+
+The refresh floors the plan to the top of the hour, so on the 15-minute feed
+it holds the periods of this hour that are already over. The verdict took the
+cheapest and dearest over every point. With modes off it could aim at a period
+that had passed and then do nothing, for up to 45 min plus the refresh lag.
+With modes on the `allowed()` gate could be open only because of such a period.
+
+Decision: `TariffPlan.arbitrage(now=...)` drops the points whose period has
+ended (`end <= now`, the span `price._cover_table()` gives, as
+`priceruns.firm_slots()` does). Its three callers pass their own `now`:
+`arbitrage.decide()`, `Controller._mode_roles()` and `homeview.trade_verdict()`.
+
+- Taken in the verdict, not when the plan is built: a plan built at 03:00 is
+  still used at 03:20, and the Home chart keeps the day's earlier bars.
+- An hourly point that is still current stays in. But an hourly or static plan
+  is rebuilt every 30 min counted from add-on start, so it is usually off the
+  hour and, until the next refresh, holds the hour that has just ended. That
+  hour is dropped too (round 3, owner-accepted 2026-10-22). On a day/night
+  tariff all day hours tie and the old verdict took the first, the ended one,
+  so it paused the trade every hour until the refresh: 91 on/off changes over
+  2 days with the refresh at :10, 4 now (4 before as well, with the refresh on
+  the hour). With the refresh on the hour nothing changes.
+- `now` is required: keyword-only, no default, like the other three arguments. A
+  caller that could leave it out would get the elapsed periods back and the
+  defect with them. A test that wants the whole series passes an instant before it.
+- The sentences of this verdict in `arbitrage.py` (status row and action log,
+  English only) say "price period" where they said "hour": the idle one now
+  reads "now is not the cheapest or the dearest price period". The UI texts
+  that say "cheapest hour" (AUDIT-01 T1-T5) are not touched here.
+- Not changed here: F2 (static profile sampled at HH:00) and F3 (carried value).
+
+Measured: with price off, every command over the modes-off replay is
+byte-identical. On a static tariff rebuilt on the hour it is too; rebuilt 20
+min off the hour the commands differ (digest 79f06d6381ff3358 on release/1.0,
+18de19d9fe919fe5 here), for the reason above. On the dynamic replay every command is
+the same too; only a sale's sentence quotes a smaller "above the cheapest"
+figure once the first cheap period is over. The identity pins in
+`test_modes_p3.py` and `test_price_run_fixes.py` hide just that figure and the
+word change (`opt11p3_identity.trade_digest()`).
+
+## Ties (round 2)
+
+The verdict takes `min`/`max` over the points still ahead and the first one wins
+a tie, so with equal prices it is the first period still ahead, which is the
+current one. Before, it was the first of the whole plan, often one that had
+ended. Two effects follow, and both are the card's intent, not a side effect:
+
+- Equal quarters (hour-constant data, or a feed that prints the same price in
+  several quarters) now act in every quarter of the cheap (or dear) block,
+  not in the first only. Test: `test_price02.py` part 6.
+- After the cheapest period has passed, the next cheapest still ahead is the
+  target, if its spread still clears the cost. A hourly plan did this at every
+  refresh already (it started at the current hour); a 15-minute plan did it
+  only from the next hour on, because it kept the elapsed quarters of this one.
+
+Measured with `scratch/PRICE-02/dev/tiesim.py` (refresh every 30 min from the
+floored hour, verdict at 7 min into each period, threshold 0.05, old = the
+verdict over the whole plan, new = this card):
+
+| data | days | acting periods old -> new | action changes old -> new |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| real 15-minute day, energy-charts 2026-09-09 | 1 | 4 -> 5 | 6 -> 6 |
+| real 15-minute days 2026-09-09 and -10 | 2 | 14 -> 26 | 24 -> 24 |
+| EPEX 2025-26 hourly prices as four equal quarters | 12 | 18 -> 72 | 36 -> 20 |
+| the same with random +-0.002 noise per quarter (no ties) | 12 | 18 -> 33 | 36 -> 48 |
+
+So a real 15-minute day does not switch more often (24 -> 24), and a day of
+equal quarters switches less. A synthetic day of noisy, tie-free quarters does
+(3.0 -> 4.0 changes a day): each period that passes hands the target to the
+next cheapest one ahead. Every change is still at a period edge, never within
+one. The replay in `test_arbitrage.py` (synthetic year, hourly) gives the same
+ledger on the old and the new code once its ties are broken (280 round trips,
+85 held, both): it printed one maximum twice per day, and the old fixture
+tested the first of them only because its plan began at midnight.
+
+## Battery throughput (round 3)
+
+On real 15-minute days the trade runs longer: about 1.5 to 2.5 times the
+minutes spent charging or discharging, with fewer on/off switches (for example
+78 -> 68, 92 -> 72), over 16 days (2026-09-02 to 09-17, a decision every
+minute, refresh at :00 or :10, tomorrow's prices known always or from 13:00;
+reviewer's sim). Through a modelled 10 kWh battery that is 27.5 -> 42.6 kWh
+(refresh at :00, tomorrow always known); 19.6-31.9 -> 43.4-48.7 kWh in the
+other three variants. Charge to
+discharge reversals are unchanged (10 -> 10, 13 -> 13). More cycling is the
+price of not pausing.

+# SAFETY-119 - no "not keeping up" when the loop takes the wire back
+
+**Status: merged (bee7431); the settle and the budget changed in SAFETY-121**
+(DECISIONS/SAFETY-121-bound-every-quarter.md: 4 cycles and 22 s, one budget
+of 11). The rolling-budget sections below describe bee7431. Tests:
+`test_safety119.py`.
+
+**Cause.** When another owner (the peak guard, a maintenance charge) has set
+the wire and the loop wins again, `cycle()` re-seeds the integrator from that
+owner's command, and `compute()` adds `gain * error` from a meter that does
+not show that command yet. On the TEST-23 rig (SAFETY-118 I-2) the guard
+stepped from -2000 W to +429 W with 5 s left. A cycle later the loop's ask
+crossed the +2500 W rail and beat the guard's floor, so SAFETY-85 rule 1
+counted it as the loop's own bound and raised `goodwe_integrator_bound`. The
+battery gave what it was told, and the cap held.
+
+**Decision.** After a hand-back, the loop's integrator bound is not counted
+until the plant's settle has passed (`SHORT_CYCLES` cycles and
+`SHORT_SPAN_S`, the window SAFETY-85 grades a battery on). After that it
+counts as before. An over-rating (`clamped`, a bug) on a cycle the loop
+decided always counts. No command changes, and no text was added or changed.
+
+**A rolling budget (round 3).** The settle above is per hand-back, and
+losing the wire restarts it. Across all hand-backs the bound is hidden on at
+most a budget of cycles in any 15 minutes (`ROLLING_BUDGET`, `ROLLING_S`); a
+cycle over the budget counts. Round 1 restarted the settle at every
+hand-back, so a guard and a charge taking turns hid the bound for good (0
+warnings in 2 h where 28 were raised before). Round 2 gave each run of
+hand-backs its own budget; at 10 s and 15 s meters each quarter then started
+a fresh one and the loop's bound was never counted. A quarter-edge kick is a
+few bound cycles in one quarter, a real bound that stays is many: a budget
+per 15 minutes tells them apart.
+
+**The budget follows the cycle length.** 10 cycles up to a 3.5 s cycle, 8 up
+to 11 s, 6 up to 16 s, 4 beyond. The cycle length is the time between two
+decided cycles (a stop, or a gap over two minutes, is not one); until it is
+known, and without a monotonic clock, the budget is 8. Without a monotonic
+clock the budget never refills.
+
+**Why not one number.** Measured over 2 h (`goodwe-addon-checks:1`), the
+quarter-edge case (house 800 W, cap 2500 W, no forecast, 30 seeds) and the
+case below. No single budget held both at 1 to 15 s: 3 to 6 let the false
+alarm back at 2 s; 7 on 10 of 30 seeds at 2 s; 8 on 1 of 30 (seed 25) at
+2 s, and warned in only 1 to 3 of 7 quarters at 15 s; 9 and 10 miss quarters
+at 10 s. A slow cycle needs a small budget to warn, a fast one a large budget
+to stay quiet. Per band, the largest budget that still warns: up to 3.5 s,
+10 (9 and 10 had no false alarm at 1 and 2 s; above 10 was not swept); up to
+11 s, 8 (9 misses quarters at 10 s); up to 16 s, 6 (7 leaves two quiet
+quarters in a row at 15 s, 4 false-alarms at 12 s on 7 of 30 seeds); beyond,
+4 (3 false-alarms at 20 and 30 s on 14 of 30, 5 leaves five quiet quarters at
+20 s).
+
+**What holds.** Quarter-edge case, 30 seeds each: 0 notifications at 1, 2,
+3, 4, 5, 10, 12, 15, 20 and 30 s. Repeated hand-backs (2 x 2500 W,
+cheap-window charge, no usable forecast, cap 5000 W, house 5050 and 5100 W,
+constant and with noise, 8 runs per meter):
+
+| meter | warnings in 2 h | quarters warned (of 7 after the first) | without the fix |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| 1 s | 56 to 63 | 7 | 56 to 63 |
+| 2 s | 49 to 56 | 7 | 54 to 56 |
+| 5 s | 19 to 23 | 7 | 28 |
+| 10 s | 7 to 10 | 7 | 14 |
+| 15 s | 4 to 10 | 4 to 7, never two quiet in a row | 14 |
+| 30 s | 3 to 7 | 3 to 5, up to two quiet in a row | 7 to 11 |
+
+At 30 s no budget does better: 4 leaves two quiet quarters, 3 brings back
+the false alarm. Single hand-back, the loop at its rail, first warning after
+the hand-back compared with no fix: 10 s at 1 s, 20 s at 2 s, 40 s at 5 s
+(default), 80 s at 10 s, 90 s at 15 s, 80 s at 20 s, 120 s at 30 s, 240 s at
+60 s. At 60 s the rig is a different regime (the house is not over the cap
+in the case above), so nothing more is claimed there. The cap held at 1 to
+10 s in the quarter-edge case and at 1 to 5 s in the case above; at slower
+meters the meter's lag puts quarters over it, the same with and without the
+fix (commands are identical).
+
+**Limits.** These runs have one cycle per meter reading, at a steady
+interval. A 20 or 30 s cycle needs `cycle_floor_s` raised; at the default
+15 s, a slower meter adds cycles on an old reading. Measured that way (11
+seeds): a 15 s meter that varies by up to 30 % false-alarmed on 5 seeds, a
+30 s meter on 10 (0 to 4 in 2 h, 8 to 15 without the fix); a 20 s meter on
+none. The case above still warned every quarter there.
+
+**Kept.** The loop in charge at its rail warns on the same cycle as before.
+The start and a restart after a stop are not hand-backs. The quarter-edge
+kick of `test_safety119.py` part 1 stays hidden (see above).
+
+**Re-pinned.** test_safety84 (all six) and test_safety87 (`n1_crossing`,
+`n1_above`, `n1_charge_low`): only OUTPUT_CLAMP log rows differ; commands and
+claims are the same (`test_safety119.py` part 6).
+
+**Not hidden.** A battery that gives less than another owner told it still
+alarms through SAFETY-85 rule 2. "Always counts" for an over-rating holds on
+cycles the loop decided; on others SAFETY-85 rule 1 already dropped it.
+
+**Not changed.** The kick itself is control behaviour: for a few seconds at
+a quarter's edge the loop asks up to its rail. In `test_safety119.py` part 1
+that is more discharge than the guard asked at a quarter's end, and a few
+seconds of up to 500 W more charge at the next quarter's start.

+# SAFETY-121 - a recurring overload warns every quarter
+
+**Status: for review.** Tests: `test_safety119.py` (parts 2, 4, 5, 6).
+Follows DECISIONS/SAFETY-119-bound-after-hand-back.md.
+
+**The defect (TEST-23, SAFETY-119 rig test F-1).** 5 s meter, 2 x 2500 W,
+cap 5000 W, maintenance charge, no forecast, house 5100 W. bee7431 warned
+once in 70 min (04:31:01), then not at 04:45, 05:00 or 05:15. Base 75f0804
+warned at every quarter start. The loop held the wire once a quarter, at its
+start, and was at its bound on 4 or 5 cycles. SAFETY-119's settle (12
+cycles, 60 s at 5 s) covered all of them, and 5 cycles a quarter fit in its
+budget of 8 per 900 s.
+
+**Why the simulation said "every quarter".** `test_safety119.py` fed the
+meter one cycle behind the battery reading (`delay` counts cycles: 5 s at a
+5 s meter). Just after the loop leaves its rail, the guard's charge
+headroom (house = meter + battery) is then off by up to 5000 W, the charge
+pulls 2000 W, the guard steps in again, and the two chase each other: 8 to
+10 hand-backs and about 20 bound cycles a quarter at 5 s (rig: 1 and 4-5).
+With the meter read in the same cycle (`delay` 0, the rig's shape) the sim
+gives the rig's numbers: 3 to 5 bound cycles a quarter at 5 s, all inside
+SAFETY-119's settle, and bee7431 warns in 0 to 2 of 7 quarters. The test
+now runs both shapes.
+
+**Decision.** After a hand-back the loop's bound is hidden until 4 cycles
+(`HANDBACK_CYCLES`) and 22 s (`SHORT_SPAN_S`) have passed; across all
+hand-backs on at most 11 cycles (`ROLLING_BOUND_CYCLES`) in any 900 s. The
+budget no longer follows the cycle length, and the cycle length is not
+tracked. A stop ends the settle and keeps the budget. An over-rating always
+counts. Commands are unchanged.
+
+**Why it holds for any number of bound cycles a quarter.** The settle is
+fixed: at most 3 cycles or 22 s after a hand-back, whichever is longer. A
+bound that lasts past it counts on its first cycle after it. So one
+hand-back a quarter, with the loop at its rail past the settle, warns in
+that quarter, whether it is 1 bound cycle or 100. A bound that never lasts
+past a settle counts once more than 11 are hidden within 900 s. Hidden
+are only shapes with at most 11 bound cycles in 900 s, each within 3 cycles
+or 22 s of a hand-back. That is the quarter-edge kick: in every steady-meter
+run below it is on the 1st to 3rd cycle after its hand-back (up to 30 s at
+a 30 s meter). In the rig's shape at 5 s the bound comes 30 to 55 s after
+the hand-back.
+
+**Sweep** (`goodwe-addon-checks:1`, 2 h runs, scratch/SAFETY-121/dev/).
+Quarter edge = test_safety119 part 1 (house 800 W, cap 2500 W, no
+forecast). Overload = part 4 (2 x 2500 W, cap 5000 W, house 5050 or
+5100 W, seeds 0-3). "Delay 1" is the old sim, "delay 0" the rig's shape.

+
+Quarter-edge seeds: 1-30 with the meter in the same cycle, and 1-40 (1-30
+at 20 and 30 s) with the test's 1-2 cycle delay. 5300 W: seeds 1-5.
+Commands identical to no fix and to bee7431 in all 1013 runs (these and
+the limits below). Choosing the numbers: the runs above were recorded
+without the fix and replayed through candidate rules; with 3, 4 or 5
+cycles, budgets 9 to 13 met both cases at 1-30 s. 8 warns at the quarter
+edge (2 s, seed 25) and 14 misses quarters in the rig's shape (1 s,
+5050 W), both checked in part 4. 11 is the middle, and 4 the middle of 3
+to 5; with a jittery meter (below) 3 gave more false alarms, 5 more quiet
+quarters (replay).
+
+**First warning after one hand-back** (the loop at its rail; later than
+no fix by): 11 s at 1 s, 22 s at 2 s, 24 s at 3 s, 25 s at 5 s (default),
+30 s at 10 s, 45 s at 15 s, 60 s at 20 s, 90 s at 30 s, 180 s at 60 s.
+bee7431: 10, 20, 30, 40, 80, 90, 80, 120, 240 s. In the overload runs at
+1 to 30 s, the first warning was at most 90 s later than without the fix.
+
+**Limits (measured, not fixed).**
+- A meter that jitters by 30 % with `cycle_floor_s` 15 (11 seeds): with
+  the test's 1-2 cycle meter delay the quarter edge warns on 2 of 11 seeds
+  at 15 s, 2 at 20 s and 5 at 30 s (bee7431: 4, 0, 10; no fix: 11 each);
+  with the meter in the same cycle on none (no fix: 10, 9, 11). The overload at 5100 W leaves up
+  to 4 quiet quarters in a row at 15 and 20 s (bee7431: no warning at all
+  on some seeds); at 5200 W at most 1. Its first warning came up to 61 min
+  later than without the fix. The numbers depend on the jitter draw: the
+  review's draw gave 4, 4 and 5 of 11 at the quarter edge (bee7431: 4, 1,
+  9) and up to 2 and 4 quiet quarters at 15 and 20 s.
+- With cycles over about 40 s, a bound that is never past a settle uses up
+  11 in 900 s only if the wire changes hands every few cycles; otherwise
+  it is never counted (part 5 prints it at 60 s).
+- Hidden as designed: a real bound with the kick's shape (at most 11 cycles
+  in 900 s, each within 3 cycles or 22 s of a hand-back).
+
+**Re-pinned.** test_safety84 (all six) and test_safety87 (`n1_crossing`,

+bee7431 and from no fix; commands, claims, guard and phases are the same.

+The host is fixed in the add-on and only HTTPS is used. The token goes in
+`price_service_token` and is sent as `Authorization: Bearer <token>`. The server
+answers the energy-charts layout, so the same parser reads it. The price is the
+wholesale energy price and nothing else, so the add-on adds your markup and
+taxes exactly as for `generic_dayahead`.
+
+**Where the prices come from.** Each step is used only if it has a price for
+now. A server that answers with last night's prices is treated as down.
+
+| Step | Source | When it is used | What the log says (once per change) |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| 1 | The price server | It answers, with a price for now | `The price service answers again.` on the way back. |
+| 2 | energy-charts.info | Step 1 fails: down, timeout, refused token (401), error (5xx), a damaged answer, or no price for now | `The price service does not answer, so prices come from energy-charts.` Or `The price service refused the token, so prices come from energy-charts.` |

+| none | Nothing | No saved price covers now either | `No price source answers, and no saved price covers now.` |
+
+The saved prices are the last answers that worked, kept on disk, so a site
+whose server and energy-charts are both down for a day goes on planning from
+what it has. It keeps the days the history holds (today, tomorrow once it was
+fetched, and a day back). They are the all-in prices as stored: a change of
+markup or taxes shows from the next fetch that works. Going back up the chain
+is logged once as well: `Prices come from energy-charts again.` and `The price
+service answers again.` The refresh runs every 30 minutes.
+
+**When there is no price for now (step none).** One status line, `Prices: No
+prices since 00:00, maintenance waits.` (on the add-on page; the Home screen says
+the same in English and Dutch), and one notification, *No prices*. Both go when a
+source has a price for now again. They show only while **Run the monthly battery cycle**
+(`maintenance_enabled`) is on; with it off, neither is shown. "Since" is the moment the last price ran out.

+gap. Control is not touched: the battery follows the meter as ever, battery
+modes and trading read what prices there are, and only the maintenance charge
+waits.
+
+**The maintenance charge and the cheap window.** With this provider the
+maintenance charge gate reads the provider's prices and no Home Assistant
+entity. It keeps the rule the Home Assistant pair gave: the charge may run
+when the **current 15-minute price is at or below today's average**, today
+being the Brussels day. Moving a site from the pair to `price_service` does not
+change when the charge runs. Where the two can differ is listed in the decision
+record: the Home Assistant average was rounded to 0.00001 EUR/kWh, and so is
+this one before it is compared. With no price for now the gate is shut, as it
+was when an entity was unavailable. *Cheap window* on the status page shows this
+answer. This is not the *cheap hours* rule of battery modes and not
+`cheap_now()`.
+
+**Moving a site from the Home Assistant price sensors to `price_service`.**
+Do this on the Configuration tab, in one save, and restart once:
+
+1. Set **Dynamic price source** (`price_provider`) to `price_service`.
+2. Paste the token into **Price service token** (`price_service_token`).
+3. **Clear** **Current price entity** (`price_now_entity`) and **Average price
+   entity** (`price_avg_entity`). The add-on refuses to start with a price
+   source and these two together.
+4. Check **Supplier markup** and **Distribution, levies and VAT**. With the
+   Home Assistant pair they decided nothing about the maintenance charge. With
+   the provider they are added to the wholesale price, so they set the prices
+   shown on the page and, if battery modes or trading are on, the prices those
+   decide on. The maintenance charge gate does not depend on them.
+5. Keep **Fixed or day/night tariff** (`static_profile`) if you have one; it
+   is fine to leave it set. It is the plan's last fallback: it is used,
+   marked as estimated and without trading, only when no source has a price.
+   *Cheap window* and the maintenance charge never read it: the provider's
+   prices decide them. The add-on logs one INFO line at start ("Fixed tariff
+   is only used if no prices are available.") and shows the same note beside
+   the setting. Nothing needs clearing, and clearing it only removes the
+   fallback (the settings page then warns that the site has no tariff while the
+   price feed is down).
+6. Remove the `price_service` REST and template sensors from Home Assistant
+   when you are satisfied. They are no longer read.
+
+To go back: put the two entities back, set the source to `off`, and restart.

+"""Runnable check for OPT-20.  `python3 test_opt20.py`
+
+A refusal probe (OPT-15 F3, SAFETY-73) asks the probing battery PROBE_W and
+nothing else. On TEST-23 (OPT-15 g7) the probe made the trade ask 2500 W: B
+was pinned at 200 W and the allocator put the other 2300 W on A, which sat in
+its maintenance charge phase at 0 W, with the grid at 3100 W for 34 s.
+
+1. modetrade: the ask carries PROBE_W for the probing battery, the other
+   chargers' ratings as without the probe, and `size()` adds the probe on top
+   of their share (or asks PROBE_W exactly, or nothing).
+2. main: the ask carries PROBE_W for exactly the pins filed this tick, so the
+   first and the last cycle of a window do not move another battery's share.
+3. The real Controller in the lagged replay, with B refusing and probed while
+   A is (a) in its maintenance charge phase (also with the charge shaped to
+   0 W), (b) idle, (c) a normal charger in the same run, and the OPT-15 rig's
+   g7 sequence: A's command is the same through the window as just before it,
+   B gets PROBE_W, and the commanded charge rises by PROBE_W at most.
+4. Battery modes on with no probe: byte-identical to release/1.0 bf9019e.
+
+Out of scope, and unchanged: a normal (non-probing) trade placed on a battery
+in maintenance charge (OPT-11 P4 F4) and the action-log wording (UX-38).
+Mutations: MUTATION.md says how to run them (purged copies); the 12 of
+OPT-20 are listed in the pull request.

+"""Runnable check for PRICE-02.  `python3 test_price02.py`
+
+The trading verdict is taken over the price periods that have not ended.
+`TariffPlan.arbitrage(now=...)` drops the points with `end <= now` (the span
+`price._cover_table()` gives each one) and every caller passes its `now`:
+`arbitrage.decide()` (modes off), the `allowed()` gate in
+`Controller._mode_roles()` (modes on) and the Home page's `trade_verdict()`.
+
+1. A 15-minute day, probed at :05, :20, :35 and :50 of the cheap hour: the
+   buy leg and the sell leg move to the current period and never name one that
+   has ended, and `decide()` trades in it. Cheapest in the past, the current
+   and a future period are all covered.
+2. A plan built at 03:00 and used at 03:20 (the 30-minute refresh lag), and the
+   shipped refresh (`fill_from_yesterday`, which keeps the whole current hour).
+3. An hourly feed and the static day/night tariff: an hourly point that is
+   still current stays in. A plan built off the hour (the refresh runs every
+   30 min from add-on start, so :20 and :50 are normal) no longer aims at the
+   hour that has just ended, so a trade runs through (owner, 2026-10-22), and
+   a period that ends exactly at `now` is over.
+4. Modes on: a spread that exists only because of an ended period no longer
+   opens the gate (`Controller._mode_roles`), nor the Home page verdict.
+5. The reason text says "price period"; `now` is required (no default).
+6. Ties. The verdict takes the first extreme still ahead, where it used to
+   take the first of the whole plan. On hour-constant 15-minute data (four
+   equal quarters) that is four acting periods in the cheap hour, not one;
+   the number of times the action changes does not grow. The same on a real
+   15-minute day, and hourly alternating prices change at most once an hour.
+
+Mutations: MUTATION.md says how to run them (purged copies); the ones of
+PRICE-02 are listed in the pull request.

+"""SAFETY-118: the peak forecast is read in its own unit.  `python3 -B test_safety118.py`

+1. The reader through the real `read_inputs()`: W, kW, MW, no unit, kWh, bad state.
+2. The warning: once, again only when the cause changes, never every cycle.
+3. One state read per cycle, as before.
+4. The maintenance charge headroom and the charge-only clamp act on the
+   converted value (real `cycle()`).
+5. The validator, the status row and the strings.

+"""Runnable check for SAFETY-119: no "Battery is not keeping up" when the
+loop takes the wire back from another owner. `python3 test_safety119.py`
+
+During a maintenance charge with no usable peak forecast, the measured peak
+guard steps in during a quarter's last seconds and hands back. On the cycle
+the loop gets the wire back, its integrator is re-seeded from the other
+owner's command and kicked by a meter reading taken before the battery moved.
+It crossed its rail for one or two cycles, the loop's ask beat the one-sided
+limit, so the cycle counted as the loop's own and raised
+`goodwe_integrator_bound`. The battery gave what it was told. Now the loop's
+bound does not count until the plant's settle (SHORT_CYCLES cycles and
+SHORT_SPAN_S) has passed since the hand-back. SAFETY-121: the settle is
+HANDBACK_CYCLES (4) cycles and SHORT_SPAN_S (22 s), and across all
+hand-backs the bound is hidden on at most ROLLING_BOUND_CYCLES (11) cycles in
+any ROLLING_S (900 s), at every cycle length.
+DECISIONS/SAFETY-119-bound-after-hand-back.md,
+DECISIONS/SAFETY-121-bound-every-quarter.md.
+
+1. The rig's shape (1 s meter that lags the battery, 1 s battery lag, house
+   800 W, rating 2500 W, limit 2500 W, margin 50, charge 2000 W, no
+   forecast), 2 h, three seeds: no notification, the cap held, every command
+   the same as without the fix; without the fix it warns.
+2. A genuine integrator bound still warns: the loop in charge with the house
+   over the rating (at once, as before), and the loop at its rail after a
+   hand-back (after the settle).
+3. With a usable forecast: the same commands and the same alarms as without
+   the fix.
+4. Repeated hand-backs (N=2, the guard and the charge take turns), 2, 5, 10
+   and 15 s meters: it warns in every quarter, both with the meter a cycle
+   behind the battery reading and in the rig's shape (SAFETY-121, F-1: the
+   meter read in the same cycle, 1 to 5 bound cycles a quarter), where
+   SAFETY-119's settle of 12 cycles hid every quarter but one; the
+   quarter-edge case stays silent at 2, 5, 10 and 15 s; the budget's margins
+   (8 warns at the quarter edge, 14 misses quarters); a start or a blind
+   cycle is not a hand-back; the delay after one hand-back.
+5. The rule at its boundaries (`Controller._settling`): the settle, the
+   rolling budget, and a stop that does not give the budget back.
+6. test_safety84's and test_safety87's re-pinned digests: the same commands
+   and claims; only OUTPUT_CLAMP log rows differ.

+"""UX-46: the Dutch pages show Dutch status rows, notes and wizard lines.
+`python3 -B test_ux46.py`
+
+Before this, Home's status rows, the settings page's notes and the setup
+wizard's checks were built in English and sent as they were, so the NL pages
+showed English under Dutch titles (SAFETY-118 I-1, UX-44 I-2, UX-45 I-3).
+
+1. Rows: every row in `messages.status_samples()` carries a Dutch twin
+   (`messages.Bi`), the Dutch follows STYLE.md, and the Home page's status
+   payload gives it for lang=nl and the English text for everything else.
+2. Notes: every `_advise()` call in app/validate.py gives a Dutch twin, the
+   notes the validator really builds carry it, and /config/validate sends the
+   page's language, for the settings notes and for the wizard's check list.
+3. The setting labels the Dutch notes quote are the labels in nl.yaml, and the
+   peak forecast label has no "(W)", since any power unit is read.
+4. The rules above catch spoiled input.
