TARIFF-09: ask the day-ahead feed for the horizon it was handed

`generic_dayahead.fetch()` accepted `since` and `until` and requested the
bare `?bzn=BE`, which answers ONE Brussels day. Everything past today was
then filled from yesterday's profile by FCST-04, flagged provisional, and
§8.3 drops provisional hours from the trade set -- so the optimiser never
saw tomorrow as firm, at any hour of any day, and nothing reported it.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 # Changelog
 
+## Unreleased
+
+⚠️ **THIS HAS NO VERSION AND CANNOT REACH AN INSTALL UNTIL IT GETS ONE.**
+PKG-06's and PKG-07's rule: the Supervisor keys the built image by `version:`,
+so `ha apps update` is a silent no-op on an unbumped change. This branch
+deliberately does **not** pick the number, because the right one depends on a
+fact the branch cannot observe - whether 0.9.0's image has already been built
+and pulled. If it has not, this belongs inside 0.9.0's section before it ships;
+if it has, it needs 0.10.0. Whoever deploys decides.
+
+| | |
+|---|---|
+| _this branch_ | FCST-04 - the carry-forward fill reaches the plan, and the day it carries survives a restart |
+| _this branch_ | FCST-05 - one byte stops stopping the add-on, and the write path gets the read path's standard |
+| _this branch_ | FCST-06 - "cannot persist" stops meaning "has no /data" and starts meaning what it says |
+| _this branch_ | TARIFF-08 - the day-ahead feed is read in the shape it actually publishes, and the fixtures stop agreeing with the parser |
+| _this branch_ | TARIFF-09 - the day-ahead feed is asked for the horizon it was given, so tomorrow arrives firm instead of carried |
+
+### TARIFF-09 - the feed is asked for the range the caller wanted
+
+**`generic_dayahead` took `since` and `until` and requested the bare feed URL,
+which answers one Brussels day.** Everything past today was then filled from
+yesterday's profile by FCST-04, flagged provisional, and §8.3 drops provisional
+hours from the trade set - so **the optimiser never saw tomorrow as firm, at any
+hour of any day.** Measured on `4257e38` at 2026-09-10 09:00 CEST over the
+shipped 48 h horizon, live feed, yesterday seeded:
+
+| | 48 h horizon, one-day feed |
+|---|---|
+| firm | **15 whole hours** (60 quarter-hour points) |
+| carried, provisional | **33 hours** - 24 on D+1, 9 on D+2 |
+| permitted cycle | buy 11:45, sell 19:45 - **both on 2026-09-10** |
+| firm local days | `[2026-09-10]` |
+
+The ceiling was structural, not incidental: with a one-day window, at hour *H*
+of the local day a 48 h horizon is at most **24−H hours firm and 24+H carried**.
+At 23:00 that is **1 firm hour and 47 carried**, and the remaining firm spread
+(0.0464 EUR/kWh) no longer clears the default 0.10 round-trip threshold at all -
+so arbitrage was refused outright. This is **not** what FCST-04's fill is for:
+that covers the window until the ~13:00-14:00 CET auction, after which a healthy
+feed publishes tomorrow in full.
+
+**The data exists and the endpoint serves it.** Verified 2026-09-10T07:45:49Z:
+`?bzn=BE&start=2026-09-09&end=2026-09-10` returns 192 quarter-hours across two
+local days, committed unmodified beside TARIFF-08's captures. The plugin simply
+never asked.
+
+**The range is now derived from `since`/`until` on the BRUSSELS calendar**, as
+two inclusive dates. Not the UTC calendar: 22:30 UTC in summer is already
+tomorrow in Belgium, so a UTC-derived start asks for the day the controller has
+just left and drops the day it is standing in, for the last one or two hours of
+every day. That is `price_history._bdate()`'s lesson one layer up, with a worse
+consequence - `_bdate()` misfiles an hour, this never fetches it. `until` is
+exclusive, so a horizon ending exactly at local midnight asks for one day fewer
+than the naive reading gives, and an inverted window collapses to a single day
+rather than a backwards range.
+
+Same code path, same window, a feed serving both days:
+
+| | before | after |
+|---|---|---|
+| firm hours of 48 | 15 | **39** |
+| carried, provisional | 33 | 9 |
+| firm local days | 1 | **2** |
+| permitted cycle | one calendar day | **buys on one day, sells on the next** |
+
+The 9 remaining carried hours are the tail of the horizon that runs into a third
+Brussels day, which no day-ahead market publishes. FCST-04 still fills them and
+still flags them; what changed is what is firm, never what may be acted on.
+
+**Before publication nothing regresses, and that is graded rather than
+assumed.** Asking for tomorrow before the auction returns fewer days than
+requested - measured, at 09:46 CEST the two-day request came back byte-identical
+to the one-day body - and that stays a `series` of what exists, with FCST-04
+filling the remainder. A `no_data` there would switch a working site's arbitrage
+off every morning.
+
+⚠️ **`price_feed_url` is the EXACT URL and the plugin appends nothing to it, so
+an overriding site keeps the short horizon.** That is a decision, not an
+oversight: `start`/`end` are this feed's spelling, the provider declares a second
+host whose parameters are different, and rewriting a URL an operator typed is
+how a request nobody intended gets made. **It is not silent** - the plugin logs a
+`WARNING` at fetch time naming the consequence and the `start..end` it would
+otherwise have asked for. See
+`DECISIONS/TARIFF-09-the-range-and-the-override.md`.
+
+The plugin contract - `fetch(self, opts, since, until, transport)` hands every
+plugin the range - is still **not** enforced, because three shipped plugins point
+at endpoints nobody has verified and a rule obliging them to pass a range would
+be satisfied by an invented parameter name. Which plugins consume the range is
+pinned as a literal in `test_price.py` instead, so the next supplier has to
+decide rather than inherit the silence.
+
+### FCST-06 - the second way to be a store that cannot persist
+
+**A price cache that could not write went on answering a yesterday the file did
+not contain.** `price_history.py`'s docstring states its rule unconditionally -
+*"A store that cannot persist now records nothing, and both of its answers say
+the same thing"* - and FCST-04 enforced it against `not self.ok`, which is one
+**symptom**: the durable volume is missing. `ok` is about the DIRECTORY, and a
+read-only remount and a full disk both leave it `True`. Reproduced on `5059e28`
+against two real volumes - a `/data` bind-mounted read-only and a full tmpfs:
+
+| | with a `/data` that cannot be written |
+|---|---|
+| `last_error` | `could not write ([Errno 30] Read-only file system)` |
+| `words` | `2026-01-14 (24 points over 24 h); 2026-01-15 (24 points over 24 h) [could not write (...)]` |
+| `yesterday()` | **series, 24 points** |
+| on disk | `{}` |
+
+`words` and `yesterday()` were describing two different stores, and the 24
+points were gone on the next restart with nothing saying so - the
+silently-forgetting cache that rule exists to refuse, reached by the condition
+it did not name. **No shipped path reaches it**: `/data` is the Supervisor's
+durable volume and this module is its only writer. The defect is that a
+guarantee the module states about itself did not hold in one condition.
+
+**"Cannot persist" is now ONE derived predicate, asked once, about the
+outcome.** It cannot be answered *before* the attempt - a directory that existed
+and was writable a moment ago is not a write that completed - so `_save()`
+returns whether the file now holds what memory holds: `False` with no durable
+volume, `False` on an `OSError` from the write, `True` otherwise. `_remember()`
+keeps only what that one answer says was kept, and **the `not self.ok` test in
+`_remember()` is gone** rather than joined by a second one. FCST-04's M4 and
+FCST-05's HIGH were the same shape - a rule enforced on the conditions somebody
+thought of - so a third cause now needs no third branch.
+
+**What is undone is the MERGE, not the store.** The state restored is the last
+one that *is on disk*, so a site whose volume fills at 14:00 goes on answering
+the yesterday it wrote at 13:30 - that record survives a restart, so answering
+it is not a promise the store cannot keep. It simply stops adding to it. The
+snapshot is a `copy.deepcopy`: a one-level copy shares the day record the merge
+rebinds `points` on, and measured with one, a store holding 12 persisted points
+answered **24** after a failed merge.
+
+⚠️ **A failed write is still not fatal, and that was a constraint rather than an
+oversight.** §6 and this module's opening: a broken cache must not be a broken
+controller. An add-on that will not start because `/data` filled up is a worse
+defect than the one being fixed, so `_save()` reports and returns - the failure
+stays in the log, in `last_error`, in `words` and in `yesterday()`'s reason -
+and the shipped `resolve_tariff()` path still returns a provider plan with no
+§11.4 degradation. What changed is that it is now *acted on*.
+
+`test_price_history.py` section 5d drives it on two real failures with different
+syscalls and different errnos - a directory where the file goes (`os.replace`,
+EISDIR) and a volume that moves out from under an open store (`mkstemp`,
+ENOENT) - because the rule is enforced on the outcome and one cause would grade
+a coincidence. See `DECISIONS/FCST-06-cannot-persist-is-one-question.md`.
+
+### TARIFF-08 - no network price provider had ever parsed a live response
+
+**`generic_dayahead` could not read one byte of `api.energy-charts.info`, and
+had never been able to.** `_points_from_json()` asks for `doc["data"]`, a list
+of `{start, price_eur_mwh}` objects. That document does not exist. Fetched live
+on 2026-09-10, the feed returns **columnar** parallel arrays and no `data` key
+at all:
+
+```
+top-level keys: ['deprecated', 'license_info', 'price', 'unit', 'unix_seconds']
+  unix_seconds: 96 UTC epoch seconds, first 1788991200, spacing 900 s
+  price:        96 floats, first 216.08
+  unit:         'EUR / MWh'
+```
+
+Driving the shipped parser against that body: `SourceUnavailable: the feed
+carried no 'data' list`. Since `generic_dayahead` is the only shipped provider
+whose endpoint anybody has reached, **dynamic pricing did not work at all**.
+
+⚠️ **AND §11.4 MADE THAT SILENT, WHICH IS WHY IT LASTED.** A parse error becomes
+`no_data`, becomes the static profile, becomes arbitrage off - the *correct*
+degradation, and it says nothing whatsoever about the cause. A site would have
+sat on the fallback indefinitely while the status page reported only that the
+feed was down.
+
+⚠️ **THE SUITE COULD NOT SEE IT BECAUSE EVERY FIXTURE WAS BUILT FROM THE
+PARSER'S OWN ASSUMPTION.** `test_price.py`, `test_price_history.py` and
+`test_static_tariff.py` each built `json.dumps({"data": [{"start": ...,
+"price_eur_mwh": ...}]})` - a shape invented here, published by nobody. The
+checks graded the parser against the parser's guess: a closed loop that cannot
+notice the guess is wrong, and no amount of coverage inside it would have. The
+loop is broken by **bytes nobody in this repository wrote**: two unmodified
+response bodies are committed under `scenarios/`, one quarter-hourly
+(2026-09-10, 96 points at 900 s) and one hourly (2025-09-10, 24 points at
+3600 s - the same endpoint before Belgium's 15-minute MTU), with URL, retrieval
+time, licence-as-returned and a sha256 recorded beside them in
+`energy-charts-be-price-captures.json` and **re-derived** by the replay, so a
+fixture edited to make a check pass stops being a capture. The remaining
+invented fixtures are renamed `synthetic_row_feed` at every call site.
+
+**The columnar document is read by its own function, `_points_from_columnar_json()`.**
+Not by teaching the row parser to sniff for both: a parser that decides which
+document it received is a parser that can decide wrong, and a wrong-but-
+parseable response then becomes a price. Two shapes, two functions, and each
+plugin names the one its feed publishes. Feeding the row shape to
+`generic_dayahead` is now a graded `no_data`, so the sniff cannot come back
+quietly.
+
+⚠️ **UNEQUAL ARRAYS ARE REFUSED RATHER THAN ZIPPED.** `zip()` stops at the
+shorter list and says nothing, so a truncated `price` array would have produced
+a **real price series with its tail missing** - and the tail of a Belgian day is
+the evening peak. That is worse than no series: `no_data` switches arbitrage
+off, whereas a short series is traded on as though complete, and nothing
+downstream can tell them apart. Refused in both directions, with the two lengths
+in the reason.
+
+⚠️ **A UNIT CHANGE IS REFUSED FOR A REASON `_validate_raw()` CANNOT COVER.** The
+plugin converts with a fixed `0.001`; if the feed ever published EUR/kWh under
+the same keys, every price would come out a **thousand times too small** and
+`MAX_PLAUSIBLE_EUR_KWH` would not fire, because it only bounds prices that are
+too large. DATA-02's fetcher already refused on this field; the shipped path
+does now too.
+
+**`unix_seconds` are UTC instants, said so explicitly**
+(`datetime.fromtimestamp(t, timezone.utc)`); §9.3's rendering at the Brussels
+offset stays where it already lived, in `assemble()`, rather than being copied
+into the plugin where a mutation could not tell it from a no-op. A published
+`null` is dropped and logged with a count - a missing quarter is not a free
+quarter - while an all-null body is `no_data` named by this parser rather than
+by the boundary validator.
+
+**End to end against the live feed, 2026-09-10:** `resolve_tariff()` returns a
+`TariffPlan` with `origin='provider'`, **96 quarter-hourly points**, spacing
+`[900]` s and no decimation, first point `2026-09-10T00:00:00+02:00` at 0.30608
+EUR/kWh all-in. FCST-04's H1 fix was never theoretical - 900 s is the shape of
+the real feed.
+
+⚠️ **WHAT THIS DOES NOT FIX.** `engie_dynamic`, `totalenergies_dynamic` and
+`eneco_eddy` are untouched: their URLs are unverified, no real body can be
+captured for them, and withdrawing them is TARIFF-07's open decision. Their
+fixtures are now named `synthetic_row_feed` so nothing reads them as evidence
+that those feeds parse. And `generic_dayahead` still ignores `since`/`until`
+and asks for no date range, so the default URL returns one published day - a
+full 48 h horizon is reached only through §8.3's carry-forward fill.
+
+### FCST-05 - what FCST-04's own contract still did not hold
+
+**A single non-UTF-8 byte in `/data/price_history.json` stopped the add-on from
+starting.** `_load()` caught `(json.JSONDecodeError, OSError)`.
+`UnicodeDecodeError` is `ValueError -> UnicodeError -> UnicodeDecodeError` -
+neither of those, and `issubclass(UnicodeDecodeError, OSError)` is **False** -
+so it escaped `_load()` -> `_open()` -> `PriceHistory.__init__`, which
+`Controller.__init__` does not guard. Reproduced: `UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8'
+codec can't decode byte 0xff`, and **the controller did not come up**. That is the same class as the day-record defect the store was reworked
+for, in the one byte class the rework left uncovered: valid-UTF-8-invalid-JSON,
+a UTF-8 BOM and a non-dict day record all degraded correctly. The suite could
+not see it because its "unreadable file" fixture writes `"{ this is not json"`,
+which is **valid UTF-8**. The handler now names the `ValueError` family - the
+file's CONTENT - beside `OSError`, the file's BYTES, and a fixture holding a
+genuinely undecodable byte is in `test_price_history.py` section 5.
+
+**A malformed `start` under the day the feed is writing to killed the tariff
+plan permanently.** `_remember()` merged a day's points with
+`{q["start"]: q ...}` and sorted on `q["start"]`, trusting a value read off
+`/data` to be a hashable, sortable string. An `int`, `null`, a `dict` or a
+`list` there raised `TypeError`; `run_tariff_refresh` catches `Exception`, so
+the add-on stayed **up** while **every refresh raised, forever** - the plan
+retiring after `TARIFF_MAX_AGE_S` and arbitrage and the cheap window off for
+good, with no self-heal because `_remember()` raised before reaching `_save()`.
+The read path (`_parse_points()`) was properly defensive throughout, which is
+why `yesterday()` survived and the existing fixture passed: it files its
+malformed rows under a day the feed is **not** writing to, so `_remember()`
+never opened that record. **The two paths now share one validator**,
+`_point_of()`, and neither has a standard of its own. A row that is not a point
+is dropped and reported, and `_save()` rewrites the record clean.
+
+⚠️ **AND THE STATUS ROW SAID THE STORE WAS HEALTHY WHILE THE PLAN WAS DEAD.**
+`words` read `'2026-01-15 (1 h)'` about the record that was killing every
+refresh. `_load()` now counts the rows inside a kept record as well as the
+record itself, so the store stops reporting plain health from the moment it is
+opened; the note names what was **found** at open and what was **dropped** by
+the refresh, and clears itself once the file has been rewritten.
+
+⚠️ **AND THE ROW COUNTED POINTS AND CALLED THEM HOURS.** `f"{d} ({_n_points(d)}
+h)"` on the quarter-hourly feed this add-on already supports reads
+`'2026-01-13 (96 h)'` for a 24-hour day - the same points/hours conflation the
+sub-hourly defect above was about, on the row that defect's own card shipped.
+The cell is now `2026-01-13 (96 points over 24 h)`: two facts, each under its
+own unit, and the hour figure is the one that says whether tomorrow morning's
+fill has a whole day to carry.
+
+⚠️ **AND THE MERGE KEY IS THE INSTANT RATHER THAN ITS SPELLING**, which is what
+rule 4 already said. Aware datetimes hash and compare by instant. The string
+key merged by spelling, and the lexicographic sort beside it put the second
+02:00 of the 25-hour October day (`+01:00`) **before** the first (`+02:00`);
+only the stored order was affected, because `_parse_points()` re-sorts by
+instant on the way out.
+
+⚠️ **TWO STATED REASONS WERE FALSE, AND THIS REPOSITORY TREATS THAT AS A
+DEFECT.** `price_forecast._audit()`'s "WHY IT IS STRICTER" section claimed the
+rework refused two things FCST-03's audit did not. A differential over the
+whole domain the audit can express - every published mask over 3 hours crossed
+with every output series of length 0-3 - found **zero divergence in both
+directions**: the reworked audit is exactly **EQUAL** to FCST-03's, not
+stronger. The old `seen` count already refused the same published point emitted
+twice (one point twice is one hour twice), and the old **identity** rule
+already refused a carried point sharing a published hour. The only behavioural
+change is the intended **relaxation** - several distinct published points in
+one hour - and that stays. The docstring and the two check texts now say what
+is true, and the differential is committed as a check in
+`test_price_forecast.py` rather than left as prose.
+
+⚠️ **AND `_audit` IS NOT WHAT STOPS THE DECIMATION DEFECT RECURRING.** It does
+not check **completeness**: fed the decimation directly - four published points
+in an hour, output emitting only the last - it **accepts**, and it accepts an
+empty output. That is a limit, not a regression, and the module docstring said
+otherwise by presenting the audit as the post-condition guarding provenance.
+What actually guards it is the point **count** and the pass-through **identity**
+checks in `test_price_forecast.py` and `test_price_history.py`, and the text now
+points at them. It is **not** made complete: `published` is the whole read while
+the fill emits only `[since, until)`, so "every published point appears" is not
+a true post-condition of those two arguments. Measured - the rule as stated
+takes the 1 h, 12 h and 48 h horizon checks red on legitimate series.
+
+**No option was added, `config.yaml` is untouched, and nothing was deployed.**
+
+
+**FCST-03 shipped the fill and no caller.** `price_forecast.fill_from_yesterday()`
+was complete and checked, and so were the consumers written for it -
+`TariffPlan.firm_points()`, `cheap_now()`'s refusal of a provisional hour, and
+`arbitrage()`'s refusal 3, which drops provisional hours from the trade set
+rather than refusing the whole series. Nothing in `app/` called the fill, so no
+series ever contained a carried point and every one of those consumers was
+exercising its all-firm branch.
+
+⚠️ **THE DEFECT THAT PRODUCED WAS NOT AN ERROR ANYWHERE.** `load_prices()`
+returns what the feed published and nothing widened it to the requested horizon,
+so on a dynamic site between midnight and the 14-16 h CET day-ahead publication
+the plan covered the rest of today and **nothing more** - typically 10-24 of the
+48 hours `price_horizon_h` asked for. `arbitrage()` then took `max - min` over
+that truncated window and reported a spread. The number was real, the window was
+half the one configured, and **nothing said so**: tomorrow evening's peak, the
+hour a morning charge would be sold into, was not in the series at all, so the
+spread it would have created was never compared against anything.
+
+**What changes:**
+
+* `app/price_history.py` (new) keeps the **published** prices of the last few
+  Brussels days in `/data/price_history.json`, and `resolve_tariff()` now fills
+  an unpublished hour of the horizon from yesterday's same-wall-clock hour,
+  flagged provisional. ⚠️ **"An" unpublished hour, not "every" one:** the fill
+  can carry only an hour yesterday actually published, so a partial yesterday
+  leaves the local hours it never held **out of the series** - §11.4 for those
+  hours, and asking for one raises rather than answering. Correct behaviour,
+  and the wording is now the behaviour.
+* ⚠️ **A sub-hourly feed keeps every print.** `eneco_eddy` is the imbalance
+  product and settles per **quarter**; the fill walks whole hours to decide
+  what needs carrying, and that is not a rule about what a published hour may
+  contain. Every published point inside the horizon passes through by identity,
+  and a carried point is added only for a whole hour with no published coverage
+  at all. The first draft keyed the published set by hour - last point wins -
+  and a 96-point quarter-hourly feed reached the optimiser as 15 points with
+  its spread down from 0.143 to 0.014 EUR/kWh, on an all-firm, fully-published
+  series.
+* The horizon is **whole hours at both ends**: `since` is floored to the hour
+  that contains it, and so is `until`. Asked for 48 hours at 08:17, the plan is
+  48 hours long and not 49.
+* `resolve_tariff(history=...)` is **required and keyword-only**. A caller with

+Carried hours are provisional, so §8.3 keeps them out of the trade set: the fill
+widens what the optimiser can **see**, never what it may **do**. What does
+change a trade is that the filled series is windowed to `[since, until)`, so
+**hours that have already elapsed are no longer in the spread**. Before, a cheap
+night that had already gone sat in the series as the day's cheapest hour - and a
+cycle cannot buy in an hour that is past, so the trade was quietly never taken.
+`test_price_history.py` section 2 grades this by finding the cheapest firm hour
+with and without the fill and showing it **moves**.
+
+⚠️ **A DEAD FEED IS STILL §11.4, NOT YESTERDAY.** The fill runs only on a
+`series` read; a feed that published nothing still degrades to the configured
+`static_profile`. The two are indistinguishable to the optimiser - both are
+100 % provisional, so arbitrage refuses on the firm-pair rung and `cheap_now()`
+is False - so preferring yesterday would change a documented degradation for a
+difference only the status page can see.

+`== 1`), a **day record that is not a record**, a malformed point - each its own
+state with its own reason, none of them a price and none of them an empty

+still regulates; the horizon is just as short as it was before this card.

+# FCST-04 — what "yesterday" is, and what the fill is allowed to reach
+
+Four decisions, recorded because each had a defensible alternative that a later
+reader would otherwise re-open from scratch.
+
+---
+
+## 1. The fill runs on a `series` read only. A dead feed still goes to §11.4.
+
+`fill_from_yesterday()` accepts a `no_data` read and will happily build a
+100 %-carried series from yesterday alone. `resolve_tariff()` does not let it:
+a feed that published nothing still falls to `_degrade()` and §11.4's own row —
+*"No price data → fall back to the static profile, mark the plan provisional,
+no arbitrage."*
+
+**Why not prefer yesterday's real prices to a coarse day/night profile?**
+Because it buys nothing the optimiser can use, and it silently replaces a
+fallback the operator configured.
+
+Measured, not assumed — and stated at the reach it actually has:
+
+- **This one reaches control.** A fully-carried series is 100 % provisional, so
+  `TariffPlan.arbitrage()` finds fewer than two firm hours and refuses on
+  §8.3's firm-pair rung. That is the verdict the optimiser reads: `arbitrage.py`
+  calls `plan.arbitrage(...)` on `fresh_tariff_plan()`, and it is the only path
+  by which a provider plan moves energy. The §11.4 static fallback refuses on
+  the same rung, for the same reason.
+- **This one does not, and saying so is the point.** `TariffPlan.cheap_now()`
+  also returns False on a fully-carried series, because `firm_points()` is
+  empty — but it has **no production caller on the provider plan**.
+  `self.cheap` comes from `static_status()`, which builds its *own* static plan
+  and calls `cheap_now()` on that. So it is a property of the type, checked in
+  `test_static_tariff.py`, and it is not evidence about the shipped control
+  path. The conclusion below holds on the first bullet alone.
+
+The two paths therefore differ only in which numbers the status page shows.
+
+So the choice is between two identical control behaviours, and the tie-breaker
+is that `static_profile` is a documented option an operator fills in **for this
+case**. Overriding it for a cosmetic difference is a behaviour change nobody
+asked for.
+
+⚠️ **The consequence, stated so it is not discovered later as a bug:**
+`fill_from_yesterday()`'s `no_data` branch is not reached from production.
+It stays checked in `test_price_forecast.py`. Turning it on is a product
+decision — it would want a rule about how old a carried profile may be before it
+stops being offered at all — and not a wiring one.
+
+---
+
+## 2. "Yesterday" is a date, not the newest record.
+
+`newest()` is the obvious accessor and it is the one that decays. An add-on down
+from Friday to Monday would answer Friday's prices to a fill whose only
+vocabulary is `provisional: true` — a flag that says "this is a guess", never
+"this guess is three days old". Nothing downstream can tell the difference and
+nothing reports it.
+
+So `yesterday(stamp)` computes the Brussels date before `stamp`'s Brussels date
+and looks up **that** record. Anything else is `no_data` with a reason naming
+both the date wanted and the dates held.
+
+The cost is real and accepted: after an outage of more than a day, the first
+morning back has no fill. That is the honest state — there is no yesterday —
+and the horizon is short for one morning rather than wrong for several.
+
+---
+
+## 3. What is recorded is the provider's read, and the mechanism is ordering.
+
+Feeding the filled series back into the store is how this rots: day 2 carries
+day 1's guesses, day 3 carries day 2's carry of them, and after a week of a dead
+feed the "yesterday" being carried is a fossil of the last real publication.
+Every point still carries `provisional=True`, so the **flag never lies** — what
+decays is the number, behind a flag that is telling the truth.
+
+⚠️ **No value-level check can catch that**, and claiming one would be worse than
+claiming none. A carried point and a published-provisional point (`eneco_eddy`'s
+current quarter, §9.2) are the same three fields carrying the same flag. The
+difference is provenance, and provenance is not in the value.
+
+The defence is therefore an **ordering**, not a validation:
+
+- `carry()` is the only public entry point. It records its argument, then
+  returns the fill.
+- The filled series exists only as that return value. The object never sees it
+  again.
+- `_remember()` is private and called from exactly one place.
+- `test_price_history.py` parses every shipped module under `app/`, `tools/`,
+  `scenarios/` and `estop/` and fails if any of them **uses the name**
+  `_remember` — an attribute, a bare name, a `def`, or the string constant a
+  `getattr` would need. By name rather than by substring, so a comment that
+  merely mentions the rule does not fail it and a call in `tools/` cannot pass
+  unseen.
+- and it pins the order two ways: the **line numbers** of the two calls in
+  `carry()`, and — the one that matters — the **behaviour**. A feed carrying
+  yesterday alongside today, into an empty store, must fill the whole horizon;
+  reversed, the lookup finds nothing and the plan is only the hours the feed
+  published. Driven, so a reversal is red.
+
+⚠️ **The first version of that ordering check graded nothing, and this file
+said it did.** It compared positions in `ast.walk`, which is breadth-first:
+`self._remember(...)` is a statement and `self.yesterday(...)` is an *argument*
+of `fill_from_yesterday(...)`, one level deeper, so `_remember` came out first
+whichever statement was written first. Measured — shipped and reversed both
+scored the same. A decorative check that a document cites as a guarantee is
+worse than no check, which is why the correction is recorded here rather than
+quietly made.
+
+That ordering has a second benefit worth keeping: a feed that returns yesterday
+alongside today refreshes yesterday's record from live data *before* it is
+consumed as the profile.
+
+---
+
+## What this ticket does not claim
+
+It does not make a trade possible that yesterday's prices justify. Carried hours
+are dropped from the trade set by §8.3, and that is not a limitation to be fixed
+later — it is the rule.
+
+The one change that **does** move energy came from the windowing, not the
+carrying: the filled series covers `[since, until)`, so hours that have already
+elapsed are no longer in the spread. A cheap night that has gone used to be the
+series' cheapest hour, and a cycle cannot buy in an hour that is past — so the
+trade was silently never taken. `test_price_history.py` section 2 grades that by
+finding the cheapest firm hour with and without the fill and showing it moves.
+
+⚠️ **And section 1's identity check now grades identity.** It used to compare
+`eur_per_kwh` between `_before` and `_after`, which come from two *separate*
+`resolve_tariff()` calls — each parsing the feed body into its own objects, so
+`is` could never have held between them however the fill were written. FCST-03's
+whole anti-copy argument is `filled.points[i] is fetched.points[j]`, and floats
+cannot grade it. The value comparison is kept and now says what it is (the fill
+moved the window, it did not touch a price); identity is graded on a read the
+file constructs and still holds a reference to.
+
+---
+
+## 4. A sub-hourly feed passes through whole; the fill only decides which hours are missing.
+
+`eneco_eddy` is the Belgian imbalance product and settles **per quarter**, and
+`price.py`'s `_validate_raw()` accepts any strictly-increasing spacing — so a
+published hour may legitimately hold four points.
+
+FCST-04's first caller keyed the published set as `{_utc_hour(p.start): p for p
+in r.points}`. It reads perfectly ordinary and it keeps the **last** point of
+each hour. Measured on a 96-point quarter-hourly feed — all firm, fully
+published, nothing to carry: the plan reached the optimiser as **15 points**,
+the arbitrage spread fell from **0.143 to 0.014 EUR/kWh**, and the cheapest
+"hour" became a `:45` point whose `at()` window runs into the next hour. That is
+not the windowing effect above; it is a feed losing 84 % of its own prints, and
+no `provisional` flag would ever have reported it.
+
+**The alternative was rejected:** refusing sub-hourly feeds at `_validate_raw()`
+would have made the count correct by breaking the one supported product that
+legitimately publishes per quarter.
+
+**What was done instead** keeps FCST-03's existing contract rather than weakening
+it: *every* published point inside the window passes through **by identity**,
+and a carried point is added only for a whole hour with **no** published
+coverage at all. A carried hour is still a single hourly point whatever the
+feed's own spacing is, because yesterday's profile is only known per wall-clock
+hour — and carried hours are provisional, so they are out of the trade set
+anyway.
+
+⚠️ **`_audit()` got stricter, not looser, and that was the condition on doing
+this at all.** The old post-condition refused any repeated `_utc_hour` — a count
+that cannot express four points in one hour. It is replaced by two rules that
+**subsume** it:
+
+- a **published** point must *be* one of that hour's published points, by
+  identity, and may be emitted only once;
+- a **carried** point may stand only in an hour that does not appear in the
+  published set at all, must be flagged `True`, and may not repeat.
+
+So a duplicated carried hour — the DST mispricing the count existed to catch —
+still raises; so does the same published point emitted twice; and a carried
+point sharing an hour with a real print now raises too, which the count never
+looked at. Each of those three is driven by its own mutation in
+`test_price_forecast.py`.

+# FCST-06 — "cannot persist" is one question, and it is asked about the outcome
+
+Two decisions. The first is the one the ticket put up for judgement; the second
+is the one that decides what a store answers *after* it has failed to write.
+
+---
+
+## 1. One derived predicate, not two places testing two symptoms — yes
+
+`price_history.py`'s module docstring states, unconditionally:
+
+> ⚠️ AND THAT RULE IS CARRIED OUT IN `_remember()`, NOT ONLY IN `_save()`. …
+> A store that cannot persist now records nothing, and both of its answers say
+> the same thing.
+
+It was enforced against `not self.ok`, and `ok` is **about the directory**: it
+says `/data` was there when the store opened. A read-only remount and a full
+volume both leave it `True`. So the second way to be a store that cannot
+persist — `ok=True`, the directory present, `_save()` failing — was outside the
+one condition the rule named, and in that state `words` printed two full days
+beside the write error while `yesterday()` answered 24 real points, from memory,
+until a restart dropped them without a word.
+
+**The ticket's question was whether "cannot persist" should be one derived
+predicate rather than two places each testing a different symptom. It should,
+and the reason is not tidiness — it is that the enumeration cannot be
+completed.** FCST-04's M4 enforced the rule on the symptom that was in front of
+it. FCST-05's HIGH was the same shape — an `except` clause naming the one
+content-failure member somebody had met (`json.JSONDecodeError`) instead of the
+`ValueError` family — and its fix was to name the family. This is the third instance in
+one module, and it is the last place in this file where the rule can be spelt
+twice. A fourth cause — an `OSError` subclass, a filesystem that accepts the
+`mkstemp` and refuses the `os.replace`, a container whose volume is unmounted
+mid-refresh — needs no fourth branch now, because none of them is asked about.
+
+### Where the one question can be asked, which is the whole design
+
+**"Can this store persist?" cannot be answered before the attempt.** A
+directory that exists and was writable a moment ago is not a write that
+completed; there is no pre-check that is not itself a guess, and adding one
+(`os.access`, a probe write) would be a *third* symptom test — precisely what
+the ticket rules out. So the predicate is an **outcome**:
+
+    _save() -> bool      # True only if the file now holds what memory holds
+
+Both ways of not persisting are the same answer from the same call: no durable
+volume returns `False` without touching the disk, an `OSError` out of the write
+returns `False` after recording why. `_remember()` reads that one answer and
+keeps only what it says was kept. **The `not self.ok` test in `_remember()` is
+gone** — not moved, gone — because there is nothing left for a second test to
+add, and a check in `test_price_history.py` 5d asserts its absence from the
+source.
+
+⚠️ **That last check is deliberately a source check, and habit 4 is why it is
+allowed to be.** The claim "there are not two places testing two symptoms" is a
+claim about the *shape of the code*, not about a behaviour — the behaviour is
+identical whether the rule is enforced once or twice. Every other check in 5d
+is driven.
+
+### What was NOT done, and why
+
+- **Not a `can_persist()` helper.** It would have to answer before the attempt,
+  which is the thing that cannot be done honestly, and it would be a second
+  place to keep in step with the first.
+- **Not a probe write at `_open()`.** It would make `ok` mean something new, it
+  would write to `/data` on every start, and a volume that is writable at 08:00
+  and full at 14:00 would still defeat it. A predicate that can go stale is a
+  symptom test wearing a predicate's name.
+- **Not making a failed write fatal.** §6, and this module's own opening: a
+  broken cache must not be a broken controller. An add-on that will not start
+  because `/data` filled up is a worse defect than the one being fixed. The
+  store degrades; it does not raise. `_save()` reports and returns.
+
+---
+
+## 2. The MERGE is undone, not the store
+
+When `_save()` answers no, `_remember()` restores the state the read started
+from — **not** an empty one.
+
+The alternative considered was to clear `self._days` outright, on the argument
+that a store which cannot write is a store that should stop answering. It is
+wrong, and measurably so: the state being restored is the last one that **is on
+disk**, so answering it is not a promise the store cannot keep. A site whose
+volume fills at 14:00 goes on answering the yesterday it wrote at 13:30 —
+through the restart, because that record is in the file. What it stops doing is
+*adding* to it.
+
+Clearing would throw away a good yesterday that survives a restart in order to
+punish a write that failed, and it would make the morning fill worse on exactly
+the day the operator is already dealing with a full disk.
+
+That gives the file the invariant its rule was always describing, stated once
+in the class docstring:
+
+> `self._days` **never holds a point the file does not.**
+
+⚠️ Not *"mirrors the file"* — `_usable_days()` drops records the file still
+holds, and that asymmetry is deliberate. The only direction that can **invent a
+yesterday** is the one named.
+
+⚠️ **And the snapshot is `copy.deepcopy`, not `dict(self._days)`.** A one-level
+copy shares the day *records*, and the merge rebinds `points` on the ones it
+touches — so the "restored" store would answer the merge that never reached the
+file. Measured: with a shallow copy, a store holding 12 persisted points
+answered **24** after a failed merge. It would also be correct only for as long
+as nobody makes the merge mutate a `points` list or a row in place, which is the
+same "correct for the conditions someone thought of" this ticket is about. The
+store holds at most `KEEP_DAYS + 2` records and writes 48 times a day; a copy
+that is right by construction is worth more than the allocations.
+
+---
+
+## What this does not change
+
+- **No shipped path reaches the defect.** `/data` is the Supervisor's durable
+  volume and this module is its only writer, so on a real install `_save()`
+  succeeds and nothing above is on the hot path. The fix is that a guarantee the
+  module states about itself now holds in the condition it did not.
+- **The failure was already visible and still is** — `_LOG.error("could not
+  persist price history: %s")` and `last_error`, reported by both `words` and
+  `yesterday()`'s reason. What changed is that it is now *acted on*.
+- **Nothing about the prices.** The series served is the feed's own, every
+  carried point is still flagged provisional, and a broken cache is still a
+  short horizon rather than a §11.4 degradation.

+### ⚠️ CLOSED BY SAFETY-43 - THIS IS NO LONGER A DISCLOSED RESIDUAL
+
+This section used to end *"until then this is a disclosed residual [...] at two
+inverters, a wedged unit with materially less energy headroom than its sibling
+can go unreported at ordinary house loads"*. That sentence is **retired, not
+softened**, and what replaces it is a measurement rather than an intention.
+
+`delivery.delinquent()` is now relative to the ask **as well as** absolute:
+
+    named if  short_by() > min_w   OR   short_by() > frac * share
+
+with `frac = delivery.DELIVERY_SHARE_FRACTION`. A unit delivering 0 of 125 W is
+100 % delinquent and is named; a unit delivering 0 of 1500 W was already named
+and still is. On the **same fixture, under the same weights**, part 8b now
+grades both rules in one run - `share_frac=None` is SAFETY-42's absolute arm,
+exactly:
+
+    load 1500 W  OPT-09 weights  absolute arm alone   named on   0/200 cycles
+    load 1500 W  OPT-09 weights  the shipped rule     named on 200/200 cycles
+
+⚠️ **`min_w` WAS NOT LOWERED, AND THAT IS THE HALF THAT MATTERS HERE.** The
+absolute arm's suppression window is still exactly the arithmetic above - 1000 W
+at equal weights, 6500 W at these - and part 8b still asserts both numbers.
+Lowering `saturation_w` would have traded a missed alarm for a false one on
+every unit at once, which is SAFETY-41's four-attempt regime. SAFETY-43 added a
+**second** way to be named and left the first where it was.
+
+⚠️ **AND WHAT OPT-09 STILL DOES NOT DO IS UNCHANGED.** This card stops the site
+ASKING a pack whose own SoC says it cannot deliver; it does not re-allocate a
+wedged unit's watts, and SAFETY-43 did not make it. The alarm got louder; the
+loop did not move. The derivation of `frac` - swept over the same 2640 no-fault
+runs that produced `delivery_hold_s`'s floor - is in
+`DECISIONS/SAFETY-43-delinquency-relative-to-the-ask.md`.

+So the seam, stated accurately **as of SAFETY-43**: OPT-09 stops the ask, and it
+still narrows the ABSOLUTE arm's window for a low-headroom unit exactly as
+described above - but it no longer narrows the DETECTOR, because the detector no
+longer reads only that arm.

+## 0. The defect, and why it is the quiet regime that matters
+
+[[OPT-09]] passes SoC- and capacity-aware weights to the allocator. A weight is
+a function of a pack's **energy headroom**, not of what the pack delivers, so a
+**wedged** unit — one that accepts its share and produces nothing — is weighted
+down exactly like a legitimately low-headroom one. `delinquent()` read an
+**absolute** gap, `min_w = Tuning.saturation_w = 500 W`. Shrinking the share
+shrinks the gap. Measured end to end on the real loop (`test_packshare.py`
+part 8b: real `compute()`, real `plan()`, real `packshare.weights()`, real
+`delivery.account()`, real `delinquent()`; B wedged at a healthy 15 % against its
+own 10 % cut-out, so no envelope closes and `account()` explains nothing — a
+SAFETY-42 **true positive** by that card's own definition):
+
+    load 1500 W  equal weights   shares {a:1500, b:1500}   named on 199/200
+    load 1500 W  OPT-09 weights  shares {a:1505, b: 125}   named on   0/200
+
+A unit delivering **0 of 125 W** is 100 % delinquent and 125 W short. Only the
+absolute threshold disagreed.
+
+⚠️ **THE SUPPRESSED REGIME IS THE DANGEROUS ONE.** At a load the healthy sibling
+covers, the meter is satisfied (grid within 5 W of zero on that fixture),
+`unmet_w` is 0 because both units *accepted* their shares, no envelope closes and
+no action-log line fires. The delinquency alarm is the **only** instrument that
+would have told the operator the site was quietly running one inverter.
+
+## 1. What was NOT done, and it is the larger half of this card
+
+⚠️ **`min_w` WAS NOT LOWERED.** It is `Tuning.saturation_w` — the gap at which
+the control law itself concludes the inverter is not following — and it exists to
+stop **normal saturation** being reported as delinquency. Lowering it trades a
+missed alarm for a false one on every unit at once. [[SAFETY-41]] spent **four
+attempts** on notification cadence in this system and the owner's words were
+*"i'm getting really annoyed by the notifications in my HA"*.
+
+So the change is an **`or`**, never a looser first arm:
+
+    named if  short_by() > min_w   OR   short_by() > frac * share
+
+Everything `min_w` named before is still named. Nothing `min_w` refused becomes
+noisy **unless the unit is delivering almost none of its ask**, which is not
+saturation-shaped at all. `test_delivery.py` part 1 runs all seven of its
+existing `delinquent()` fixtures under **both** rules — `share_frac=None` is
+SAFETY-42's rule exactly — and requires identical answers on every one.
+
+The absolute arm's suppression window is therefore **unchanged**: still
+`site target < 2·min_w` = 1000 W at equal weights, still
+`site target < min_w·(w_A+w_B)/w_B` = 6500 W under OPT-09's weights on part 8b's
+fixture. Part 8b still asserts both numbers, now as evidence that the first arm
+did not move.
+
+## 2. The evidence is a diff between two rules on ONE run
+
+`delinquent()` takes `share_frac`, and **`None` means the absolute arm alone**.
+That parameter exists for one reason: so the red and the green come out of one
+run over one tree instead of out of two commits that a reader has to trust.
+`test_packshare.py` part 8b grades every cycle twice:
+
+    load 1500 W  OPT-09 weights  absolute arm alone   named on   0/200 cycles
+    load 1500 W  OPT-09 weights  the shipped rule     named on 200/200 cycles
+
+    load 1500 W  equal weights   absolute arm alone   named on 199/200 cycles
+    load 1500 W  equal weights   the shipped rule     named on 200/200 cycles
+
+The equal-weights arm gains **exactly one cycle** — the first, where the slew
+limit holds the split at 500/500, a 500 W gap is not *over* a 500 W threshold
+(the absolute bound is strict) and the relative arm names a box delivering none
+of its 500 W. That single cycle is the whole of what this card costs an arm that
+was already firing.
+
+⚠️ **THE PIN THAT INVERTED.** Part 8b was written by OPT-09 to pin the
+**suppressed** behaviour, and its comment said: *"if it ever goes red because the
+alarm fired, read the card that made it fire before 'fixing' this line."* This is
+that card. The pin now asserts the opposite answer and keeps the old one beside
+it, measured rather than remembered.

+allocator gave it) and the same **2640 N=1 control runs**, graded at the shipped
+`min_w = 500 W` for each candidate fraction, on every cycle of every run — so a

+
+⚠️ **THE FIRST ROW IS THE CONTROL AND IT REPRODUCED SAFETY-42 §3.3 EXACTLY** —
+30.0 s / 0.0 s / 35.0 s, and the same argmax (`gain=0.2 slew_w=1000 stagger=4
+split=0.10/0.90`, ±2200 W reversal). It is measured **in the same run** as every
+row below it, which is what makes those rows a comparison rather than a claim.
+
+### 3.2 What the curve says
+
+* ⚠️ **THERE IS NO CLIFF ANYWHERE IN THE CURVE, AND THAT IS THE FINDING.** From
+  **0.45 to 0.99** every figure is 40.0 or 45.0 s — within **one control cycle
+  (5.0 s)** of every other — and below 0.45 it rises **gradually**: 60.0 s at
+  0.25, 70.0 s at 0.15, 90.0 s at 0.05. A reviewer asking "why 0.85 and not
+  0.90?" is asking about a difference this campaign cannot resolve, and the
+  honest answer is that it cannot.
+* ⚠️ **IT IS NOT MONOTONE** — 0.40 reports 60.0 s where 0.35 reports 55.0, and
+  0.65–0.80 report 45.0 s where 0.55/0.60 and 0.85–0.99 report 40.0 — and that is
+  SAFETY-42 §3.3's own mechanism (c) rather than noise in the plant: **a more
+  sensitive rule puts MORE units into the short set, which can turn a proper
+  subset into the WHOLE roster and END the episode.** The reduction is not
+  monotone in its own threshold. Do not read this column as a sensitivity curve
+  in the ordinary sense.
+* **The shoulder is at about 0.45**, and it is a shoulder rather than an edge:
+  the reversal family's naming count saturates at 840 of 1050 runs from 0.30
+  upward, so below the shoulder what grows is the LENGTH of an episode, not the
+  number of runs that have one.
+* **The N=1 column is 0.0 s at every fraction, in all 2640 one-inverter runs.**
+  The compatibility promise is measured for the new arm, not argued.
+* **The flapping family is 0.0 s at every fraction, in all 840 runs.** A common
+  stimulus makes both units short at once and the subset stops being proper —
+  the property that defeated SAFETY-30's site window still holds.
+
+### 3.3 ⚠️ "Zero false namings" is not available at ANY fraction
+
+The card asked for *the largest fraction that yields zero false namings across
+the whole no-fault campaign*. **There is none.** Every fraction adds naming
+cycles: the reversal family goes from 460 runs naming to 840, the weighted family
+from 403 to 635. A relative arm that never fired on a legitimate transient would
+be a relative arm that never fired at all — the write stagger lands B's number up
+to four cycles late, and a unit whose new command has not arrived is, for those
+cycles, delivering a small fraction of what is standing on its wire.
+
+What **is** zero at every fraction is **false alarms**:
+
+> the longest continuous legitimate episode anywhere in the 20-point sweep is
+> **90.0 s** — at 0.05, the most sensitive fraction measured — against a
+> `delivery_hold_s` of **185 s**. Nothing in 2640 no-fault runs comes within
+> **95 s** of notifying an operator, **at any fraction measured**. At the
+> shipped 0.85 it is 40.0 s, i.e. 145 s of slack.
+
+That is the quantity SAFETY-41 cares about and it is the one this card had to
+protect. Stated as margin, at the shipped fraction: **185 s is 4.62×** the worst
+legitimate episode, where the absolute arm alone gave 5.29×.
+
+### 3.4 The bounds 0.85 answers to
+
+* **LOWER, from the campaign** — the shoulder at about **0.45**, below which the
+  added episode starts to grow (60.0 s at 0.25, 90.0 s at 0.05). 0.85 is 0.40
+  above it.
+* **UPPER, from the card's own case** — strictly **below 1.0**. At 1.0 the arm
+  can only fire on a unit that is *importing* while asked to discharge, which is
+  SAFETY-30's fault and not this one, so a unit delivering **none** of its share
+  (gap/share exactly 1.0) would be missed. The 0.15 below 1.0 is what covers a
+  wedged box reporting a small standby figure instead of a clean zero.
+* **UPPER, from the hold** — every fraction in the flat range leaves
+  `delivery_hold_s` between **4.11×** (45.0 s) and **4.62×** (40.0 s) the worst
+  legitimate episode, well inside the four bounds SAFETY-42 §3.3 requires of it.
+  **`delivery_hold_s` IS NOT CHANGED BY THIS CARD.**
+* ⚠️ **NOT DERIVED, AND SAID SO: the exact value inside [0.45, 1.0).** The
+  campaign cannot separate them. 0.85 is the midpoint of the argument above —
+  0.40 of margin above the shoulder, 0.15 below the ceiling — and a
+  re-derivation that moved it to 0.90 would be moving a number this campaign
+  never resolved. It is not moved for that reason.
+
+## 4. The positive control — what the relative arm must still NOT say
+
+A card that adds a way to raise an alarm has to show what it did **not** add.
+`test_packshare.py` part 8b runs the same fixture, the same weights and the same
+125 W share with the one fact that makes the shortfall legitimate changed:
+
+| fixture | B's share | named | why it is silent |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| B wedged at a healthy 15 % (the fault) | 77–154 W | **200 / 200** | — it is the fault |
+| B at its own 10 % cut-out | **0 W, all 200 cycles** | **0 / 200** | it is never **asked** |
+| B delivering **half** its share | 120 W | **0 / 200** | short by 50 %, inside both arms |
+
+### ⚠️ The cut-out row does NOT grade `account()`, and this record said it did
+
+**Corrected in review.** The first draft of this section claimed the wedged and
+cut-out arms had *"identical power traces — 0 W against a positive share, 100 %
+of the ask missing"* and that *"what separates them is `account()`"*. **Every
+part of that was false**, and the check that carried it was **vacuous**:
+
+* at its own cut-out the pack's usable energy **above that cut-out is zero**, so
+  `packshare.weights()` answers **0.0** for it, `_fill()`'s preferred pass gives
+  it nothing, the healthy sibling covers the load alone so the last-resort pass
+  never runs, and its share is **0 W on all 200 cycles**;
+* a unit with a 0 W share is not in `asked`, so `len(asked) < 2` returns `{}`
+  **before either arm is evaluated** and `account()` is **never consulted**;
+* the traces are not identical — the cut-out arm's share is **0 W on every
+  cycle** (asserted in part 8b and printed on its line) while the wedged arm's
+  is **125 W** at the last cycle (asserted in the GREEN check) and takes four
+  distinct values 77/125/133/154 W across the 200, measured by re-running the
+  same loop with per-cycle recording during review — and "100 % of the ask" is
+  0/0.
+
+Measured, by deleting the gate the claim rested on:
+
+    cut-out arm, account() live         named 0/200, distinct B shares: [0]
+    cut-out arm, account() DELETED      named 0/200, distinct B shares: [0]
+    wedged  arm, account() live         named 200/200, shares [77,125,133,154]
+
+⚠️ **The fact that replaces it is better, not weaker.** At its own cut-out
+**OPT-09 stops asking the pack at all**, so SAFETY-43's relative arm is never
+reached — a **second, independent protection sitting upstream of `account()`**:
+the allocator declines to ask before the detector has to decline to alarm. Part
+8b now asserts the 0 W share and prints it, and runs the arm a second time with
+`account()` deleted to show which mechanism is doing the work.
+
+⚠️ **It was invisible for one reason worth keeping**: that line was the only one
+in part 8b that did not print its shares. `inverter-b+0` would have been on
+screen from the first run. Every line in that part prints them now, and the
+derated control's vacuity guard now asserts **its own** unit is asked, rather
+than re-asserting a different run's 200/200 — which is exactly why the old guard
+could not see this.
+
+**The account gate is graded where it is real**, on a positive 125 W share, in
+`test_delivery.py` part 1 (*"THE ACCOUNT GATE IS UNTOUCHED BY IT"* — the same
+0 of 125 W with the shortfall explained names nobody). That part also carries
+that the relative bound is **strict** (a gap of exactly `frac · share` is not
+over it) and that the proper-subset rule still refuses a site-wide cause (both
+units delivering none of a 125 W share names nobody).
+
+## 5. N=1 is byte-identical, and it is asserted rather than argued
+
+The live install is **N=1**. Two independent statements, each graded against the
+thing that would break it (`test_packshare.py` part 8b):
+
+1. **`allocator.plan()` returns before `weights` is read at all.** Graded by
+   handing it a `weights` mapping that **raises on any read**: at a roster of one
+   it answers identically to the same call with no weights; at a roster of two
+   the same mapping is read and raises, so the tripwire is a real one.
+2. **`delinquent()` answers `{}` at a roster of one for every input** — 84
+   combinations of (share, measured, rule), including **0 of 125 W**, the exact
+   input this card added an arm for. `len(asked) < 2` returns before either
+   threshold is compared, so the fraction is never even multiplied.
+
+Nothing in this card is reachable at one inverter. It must land before inverter B
+is commissioned (~2026-09-12), not before the next deploy.
+
+## 5b. Mutation — the fraction is pinned from BOTH directions
+
+⚠️ **RUN, NOT REASONED ABOUT.** Each mutation was applied to a tree **copied
+fresh** from this branch and mounted `:ro` inside the checks image, so no `.pyc`
+could go stale — MUTATION.md's defect, and all three of these are **reds**, the
+direction that defect cannot fabricate. Recorded in `test_packshare.py` part 11
+as M12–M14.
+
+| mutation | named checks | where |
+|---|---:|---|
+| **M12** drop the relative arm, keep `gap > min_w` — *the card itself reverted* | **7** | `test_delivery.py` part 1 (3: the 0-of-125 W naming, the proportion in the sentence, the strict relative bound) + `test_packshare.py` 8b (4: GREEN back to 0/200, the equal arm's 200 back to 199, the 6000 W arm back to 195/199, the derated control's guard). `test_alloc.py` / `test_control.py` stay green — nothing outside this check moves. |
+| **M13** `DELIVERY_SHARE_FRACTION` → **1.0** — *too loose* | **7** | part 1 (2) + 8b (5), including the PRECONDITION that the fraction is strictly below 1.0. At 1.0 the card is a no-op: gap/share of exactly 1.0 is not *over* 1.0. |
+| **M14** `DELIVERY_SHARE_FRACTION` → **0.05** — *too sensitive* | **6** | part 1 (2: the strict bound, and *"IT TOOK NOTHING AWAY"* stops being true) + part **4b** (3: the `saturation_w` pin goes **vacuous**, the relative arm naming B at every threshold) + 8b's derated control, where a unit delivering half its share starts being named. |
+
+M13 and M14 are the pair that matters: the constant cannot be moved in **either**
+direction without a named check moving with it.
+
+### ⚠️ Two of these counts were wrong, and the reason is worth keeping
+
+**Corrected in review.**
+
+* **M12 and M13 read 1 and 1 in `test_delivery.py`, not 3 and 2.** Part 1 printed
+  the alarm sentence with a bare subscript, `delinquent(_tiny, 500)["b"]`. On any
+  tree where the relative arm is broken or absent that raises `KeyError` and
+  **aborts the file at part 1**, leaving parts 2–8 ungraded — so the recorded
+  coverage of a mutation run read *smaller* than the truth. The direction is safe
+  (an abort is a red, and MUTATION.md's defect can only fabricate a green), but a
+  figure that does not reproduce is a figure that does not reproduce. It is a
+  `.get` now, with the reason written beside it, and the counts above are from
+  re-runs with the guard in place.
+* **M14 was recorded as 4 named checks in `test_delivery.py` and it is 5** — part
+  1's pre-existing *"a shortfall AT the threshold is not one"* also goes red. That
+  one under-claimed, so it never inflated the evidence; it is still a recorded
+  number that did not reproduce.
+
+## 6. ⚠️ [[CFG-07]] is adjacent and is NOT absorbed here
+
+CFG-07 is that `delivery_hold_s` is declared `int(30,900)` in `config.yaml`'s
+schema while the measured worst legitimate episode at the shipped threshold is
+**35.0 s** — so the schema offers an operator a value (30) that is **below a
+measured legitimate episode** and would report on ordinary saturation.
+
+**This card makes it worse, and by exactly one control cycle.** The relative arm
+takes the worst legitimate episode from **35.0 s to 40.0 s** at the shipped
+fraction, so the band of schema-legal but false-tripping values widens from
+`[30, 35]` to `[30, 40]`. The floor the schema should have is now **40 s**, not
+35 s. It is not fixed here: raising a schema floor is an option-surface change
+with its own compatibility argument (an existing config carrying `35` would start
+being refused), and folding it into a safety fix would hide it. **CFG-07 should
+be re-derived against 40.0 s, not 35.0 s.**
+
+⚠️ **WHEN IT HAS TO CLOSE: BEFORE INVERTER B IS COMMISSIONED (~2026-09-12).**
+Not before the next deploy. The band is **unreachable at N=1** — `delinquent()`
+returns `{}` for every input at a roster of one, so no value of
+`delivery_hold_s` can false-trip on the install that is running today — and the
+live install is N=1 until B exists. Commissioning B is the moment the band
+becomes reachable, and that is the deadline this card hands it.
+
+⚠️ **AND CFG-07 HAS NO DECISION DOCUMENT IN THIS TREE.** It exists as a
+`[[CFG-07]]` mention in `CHANGELOG.md` and in this section, and nowhere else —
+so there is no file for the 40.0 s to be recorded in, and a reader who goes
+looking will find a card reference with no record behind it. Whoever takes
+CFG-07 writes `DECISIONS/CFG-07-*.md` first; the number it has to answer to is
+**40.0 s**, measured here, and the harness that produces it is
+`admin/goodwe:sim/delivery_window.py --campaign --fractions`.

+# TARIFF-09 — asking the feed for the horizon, and what `price_feed_url` means
+
+Two decisions. The first had no defensible alternative once it was measured;
+the second did, and the alternative is argued below rather than dismissed.
+
+---
+
+## 0. The measurement this card exists for
+
+`generic_dayahead.fetch()` accepted `since` and `until` and requested the bare
+`https://api.energy-charts.info/price?bzn=BE`. That URL names no range, and the
+feed answers **one Brussels day**.
+
+Measured on the merged tree (`4257e38`) at 2026-09-10 09:00 CEST, 48 h horizon,
+live feed, yesterday seeded through the shipped read path:
+
+```
+60 firm points (15 whole hours) + 33 carried hours of 48 requested
+carried: 24 h on 2026-09-11, 9 h on 2026-09-12
+arbitrage(0.10): allowed, spread 0.4645, buy 11:45 and sell 19:45 -- BOTH on 2026-09-10
+firm local days = [2026-09-10]
+```
+
+Everything past today was carry-forward, flagged provisional, and §8.3 drops
+provisional hours from the trade set. **The optimiser never saw tomorrow as
+firm, at any hour.** The ceiling was structural rather than incidental: with a
+one-day window, at hour *H* of the local day a 48 h horizon is at most
+**24−H hours firm and 24+H carried** — 15/33 at 09:00, and **1/47 at 23:00**,
+where the remaining firm spread (0.0464 EUR/kWh) no longer even clears the
+default 0.10 round-trip threshold and arbitrage is refused outright.
+
+That is not what FCST-04's fill was built for. FCST-04 covers the
+pre-publication window until the ~13:00–14:00 CET auction, after which a
+healthy feed hands over tomorrow in full.
+
+**The data exists and the endpoint serves it.** Verified 2026-09-10T07:45:49Z:
+`?bzn=BE&start=2026-09-09&end=2026-09-10` returns **192 quarter-hours across
+two local days**, committed unmodified as
+`scenarios/energy-charts-be-price-2026-09-09_2026-09-10-twoday.json`. The
+plugin simply never asked.
+
+After the change, same code path, same window, a feed serving both days:
+**39 firm hours and 9 carried**, firm across **two** Brussels days, and the
+permitted cycle buys on one day and sells on the other. Graded in
+`test_price_history.py` section 1c against both feed states.
+
+---
+
+## 1. The range is derived on the **Brussels** calendar, from `since`/`until`
+
+`since` and `until` are **instants**; the API takes **dates**. Those are not
+the same question, and the conversion is where the day gets lost.
+
+`brussels_date_range()` returns two inclusive `date`s:
+
+* the first is `brussels(since).date()`. **Not `since.date()`, and not the UTC
+  date.** 22:30 UTC in summer is already tomorrow in Belgium, so a UTC-derived
+  start asks for the day the controller has just left and drops the day it is
+  standing in — for the last one or two hours of *every* day. This is
+  `price_history._bdate()`'s lesson one layer up, with a worse consequence:
+  `_bdate()` misfiles an hour, this never fetches it.
+* the last is `brussels(until).date()`, **stepped back a day when `until`
+  falls exactly on local midnight**, because `until` is exclusive and that
+  instant is the first tick of a day nobody asked for. Without it every
+  whole-hour horizon requests one extra day — harmless on this feed, but it
+  makes the request a claim the caller never made.
+* an empty or inverted window collapses to a single day rather than producing
+  a backwards range, which no feed has a defined answer for.
+
+Both ends are graded, and both are driven red by mutation — including the two
+that swap `brussels()` for the UTC date (`test_price.py` section 2c).
+
+---
+
+## 2. `price_feed_url` is the **exact URL**, used as given. The plugin appends
+   nothing.
+
+The alternative — merge our `start`/`end` into whatever query string the
+operator supplied — was considered and rejected. Three reasons, in the order
+they decided it:
+
+1. **`start`/`end` are energy-charts' spelling, and this provider declares a
+   second host.** `generic_dayahead.capabilities().egress_hosts` is
+   `("api.energy-charts.info", "web-api.tp.entsoe.eu")`. That second host's
+   day-ahead date parameters have not been verified by this card and are not
+   guessed at here — but they are not `start`/`end`. So an override to the
+   *other declared host* — a case the declaration itself anticipates — is
+   exactly where merging appends two parameters that host ignores, producing
+   the short horizon anyway, with a URL nobody typed as the receipt.
+2. **Merging means re-serialising a URL somebody else wrote.** Parsing and
+   rebuilding reorders parameters, collapses duplicates and re-escapes values.
+   "Override the feed" is what the option already says it means, and an
+   override that is silently rewritten is not one.
+3. **Blind appending is not on the table at all.** `dated_feed_url()` refuses
+   to add a query string to a base that already has one, so
+   `?bzn=BE?bzn=BE&start=…` cannot be produced by this module even by a later
+   edit that folds the parameters back into the constant.
+
+⚠️ **The cost is real and it is therefore NOT a doc footnote.** An overriding
+operator gets exactly the short horizon this card exists to fix. So the plugin
+emits a `WARNING` on the shipped `goodwe.price` logger at **fetch time**, naming
+the consequence — one Brussels day, the rest carried and flagged, §8.3 dropping
+them from the trade set — and naming the `start..end` it *would* have asked
+for. §11.4 is what makes a price defect quiet; an operator who has taken the
+short horizon has to be able to find out from the log that they did.
+
+The warning is graded, with a control that the default path stays silent, and
+a mutation that downgrades it to `debug()` takes that check red.
+
+**Fetch time rather than startup**, because that is where the URL actually in
+use is known. The trade-off is one line per refresh (the tariff task, not the
+30 s control tick). If the status page ever grows a price-source row, this is
+the sentence it should carry.
+
+---
+
+## 3. The plugin contract: `fetch(self, opts, since, until, transport)`
+
+The signature promises every plugin the range, and until this card **none of
+the four networked plugins used it**. The obvious follow-up is to enforce the
+promise. It is **not** enforced, and the reason is TARIFF-08's:
+
+Three of the five shipped plugins point at endpoints nobody has ever verified

+stated in the response. Two things follow that are worth knowing before you
+point `price_feed_url` somewhere else:
+
+* The timestamps are **UTC instants**. They are rendered at the Brussels offset
+  that applies to each one, so the hour that happens twice every October is two
+  points rather than one overwritten one.
+* Belgium moved to a **15-minute market time unit** on 2025-10-01, and the feed
+  followed. A published day is **96 points, not 24**. Nothing in the add-on
+  assumes either spacing, and nothing aggregates the quarters away.
+* The request **names the days it wants**, derived from the horizon on the
+  **Brussels** calendar — `?bzn=BE&start=2026-09-09&end=2026-09-10`, two
+  inclusive local dates. Without that the feed answers a single day, and
+  everything past today would be carried forward from yesterday's profile and
+  flagged provisional — which §8.3 excludes from arbitrage, so tomorrow would
+  never be tradeable at any hour. The calendar is Brussels rather than UTC
+  because 22:30 UTC in summer is already tomorrow in Belgium.
+
+**What you get before the auction publishes.** The day-ahead auction clears at
+about 13:00–14:00 CET. Ask for tomorrow before that and the feed returns fewer
+days than requested — that is normal, not a failure. The add-on keeps the
+series of what exists and fills the remaining hours from yesterday's profile,
+flagged provisional; arbitrage runs on the firm hours and ignores the flagged
+ones. So a dynamic site's plan is part firm and part carried every morning and
+fully firm once tomorrow is published, and neither state is an error.
+
+⚠️ **If you set `price_feed_url`, you keep the short horizon.** The override is
+sent exactly as you wrote it and the add-on adds no `start`/`end` to it, because
+those are this feed's parameter names and an override may point somewhere with
+different ones — rewriting a URL you typed is how a request nobody intended gets

+#### The hours the feed has not published yet (FCST-04)
+
+A day-ahead auction publishes tomorrow's prices once a day, at **14–16 h CET**.
+Before that, the feed is serving today and nothing else — so a `price_horizon_h`
+of 48 asks for 48 hours and gets back the ten or fifteen that are left in the
+day. Until FCST-04 those other hours were simply **absent** from the plan: not
+priced badly, not flagged, just missing, and nothing said so.
+
+Now the add-on keeps the **published prices of the last few days** in
+`/data/price_history.json` and fills an unpublished hour of the horizon with
+yesterday's price for the same Brussels wall-clock hour, flagged
+`provisional: true`. Two things follow, and the second one matters more:
+
+- **The plan says it is guessing** — `provisional: true` on every carried hour,
+  which is what the optimiser reads. Before, a half-length plan looked
+  completely settled.
+- **Nothing may trade on a carried hour.** §8.3 forbids acting on a provisional
+  price, so arbitrage drops those hours from the trade set entirely — it needs a
+  buy hour and a sell hour that were *both* published. Carrying a price forward
+  widens what the optimiser can **see**; it never widens what it may **do**.
+
+**"An unpublished hour", not "every unpublished hour"** — the fill can only
+carry an hour yesterday actually published. If yesterday's record is itself
+partial (a first day, an outage, a feed that only ever serves the rest of the
+day), the local hours it never held are **left out of the series**: §11.4
+applies to those hours, and asking the plan for one raises rather than
+answering. An hour with no price is not a free hour, and the fill does not
+invent a neighbour, a mean or a zero for it.
+
+**A quarter-hourly feed keeps all four of its prints.** `eneco_eddy` settles
+per quarter, and the fill decides *which whole hours need carrying* — never what
+a published hour may contain. Every point the provider published inside the
+horizon is passed through untouched; a carried point is added only for a whole
+hour the feed did not print at all.
+
+**What you can actually see on the status page.** *Price history* (below) says
+what is held. *Arbitrage* carries the strategy's own sentence, which names the
+firm/provisional split whenever that split is what refused a trade. *Tariff*
+does **not** report the fill: it is the static-profile or Home Assistant
+price-entity sentence, regenerated on the 30 s tick. The provider plan's own
+line — `dynamic_dayahead from generic_dayahead, 48 h, provisional` — goes to the
+**add-on log** at every refresh, alongside `§8.3: 33 of 48 hours carried forward
+from yesterday's profile and flagged provisional; 15 published`.
+
+The plan is also now cut to the horizon you asked for, which means **hours that
+have already elapsed are no longer in it**. That is a real change to arbitrage:
+a cheap night that has already gone used to sit in the series as the cheapest
+hour of the day, and a cycle can never buy in an hour that is past — so the
+trade was quietly never taken. The spread is now taken over hours still ahead.
+
+A new status row, **Price history**, says which days are held, how many price
+points each holds and how many whole hours those cover — `2026-01-13 (96 points
+over 24 h)`. ⚠️ **Those are two different numbers and the row used to print one
+of them under the other's name**: it counted points and labelled them `h`, so a
+quarter-hourly feed read `96 h` for a 24-hour day. The figure that says whether
+tomorrow morning's fill has a whole day to carry is the **hour** one. If it
+reads `empty` or `unavailable`, nothing is carried, the horizon
+is as short as the feed makes it, and every other guarantee is unchanged — a
+cache that cannot answer is not allowed to be a controller that cannot regulate.
+The store is rebuilt by the next successful fetch; on a brand-new install the
+first fill is possible the day after the first refresh.
+
+The same applies to a file that is *partly* broken: a day record this build
+cannot read is dropped, the row says how many were dropped and why, and the rest
+of the file still loads. And a store that **cannot persist records nothing** —
+not even in memory. That covers a missing `/data`, and it also covers a `/data`
+that is there and cannot be **written**: a full volume, a read-only remount. An
+in-memory yesterday would answer for one run and vanish on the next restart,
+which is a cache that forgets without saying so; the row naming the reason and
+*no prices carried* are the honest pair.
+
+⚠️ **What a failed write does not do is throw away what is already in the
+file.** A volume that fills at 14:00 leaves the yesterday written at 13:30 still
+answering, because that record survives a restart — the store stops *adding* to
+it, nothing more. And it never stops the add-on: a write that cannot complete is
+logged and reported on the status row, never raised. A cache that cannot answer
+is not allowed to be a controller that cannot regulate, and that applies to the
+volume being full exactly as it applies to the volume being absent.

+this repository can fetch that.** SSH to the live box is blocked by policy and
+that is correct — `/data/state.json` is the file the running add-on is writing.
+So three things have to be exported by hand, onto the machine that runs the
+check, **before** the roster is declared:
+
+1. **The state file.** From the Supervisor host:
+
+       ha addons info local_goodwe_controller     # confirm the slug first
+       docker cp addon_local_goodwe_controller:/data/state.json ./state-copy.json

+   it, never move it, and never write to the original.** The tool opens the path
+   it is given exactly once and does all of its writing on a scratch copy — but
+   the safe habit is to hand it a file the add-on has never heard of.
+
+2. **The options blob**, as `--before`. It is not reachable through the Home
+   Assistant REST API and no entity carries it; export it from the Supervisor,
+   the same way `tools/predeploy_check.py` needs it. Write the roster you intend
+   to deploy into a second file and pass it as `--after`.
+
+3. **The entity list**, as `--live-entities` — one entity id per line:
+
+       Developer tools -> Template:
+       {{ states | map(attribute='entity_id') | select('search','goodwe') | join('\n') }}
+
+   ⚠️ **Omitting it is a REFUSAL (exit 2), not a quieter run.** The orphan check
+   is graded against the ids the install actually has, and without that file it
+   is not graded against reality at all — so the tool will not run rather than
+   hand back a clean bill of health for a half of the transition it did not
+   check. If you genuinely have to run without it, pass `--no-live-entities`:
+   the run then carries a standing banner in the report header **and** on the
+   exit line saying the orphan check was not graded. The asymmetry used to be
+   the other way round — an unreadable file refused, a missing flag passed with
+   exit 0 and no disclosure at all — and the owner runs this once, at
+   commissioning, under time pressure.
+
+   The install carries roughly 49 `goodwe*` entities and this add-on announces
+   eight of them. The tool separates the ids it owns from the ids it does not,
+   rather than claiming orphans it cannot cause.
+
+### The reference, which is loaded on every run
+
+`--reference` defaults to `tools/rehearsal/announced-reference.txt` and is read
+**whether or not** you pass an entity list. It records what the build is
+supposed to announce, three columns per row:
+
+    <entity_id>   <unique_id>   <device identifier>
+
+⚠️ **All three, and the second and third are the ones an entity_id-only list
+cannot see.** The tool's own before/after diff is composed twice by the same
+build, so a change to the composition moves both sides equally and the diff
+reports nothing. Worse, two changes orphan an install *without moving a single
+composed entity_id*: renaming `mqtt.BASE` (every `unique_id` changes) and
+changing `DEVICE["identifiers"]` (HA sees a new device). Home Assistant keys its
+entity registry on `unique_id` and its device registry on the identifier, so
+either one creates a **new** entity beside the old — and because discovery is
+published `retain=True` with no removal payload, the old config stays on the
+broker and the old entity stays in the registry, still named by every automation
+that referenced it, never updating again. Both were measured coming back
+**exit 0** before the reference carried three columns.
+
+`object_id` is deliberately **not** a column: `app/mqtt.py` records that HA
+2026.8 does not honour it in a discovery payload, so renaming one is a true
+no-op, and `test_rehearse.py` requires that mutation to **survive** — otherwise
+"the reference notices any edit to `mqtt.py`" would be indistinguishable from
+"the reference notices what HA keys on".
+
+⚠️ **No result in this repository was produced against real state.** Everything
+recorded here and in `test_rehearse.py` was measured on the synthetic fixtures
+in `tools/rehearsal/`.
+
+### What it confirms on the synthetic fixtures
+
+⚠️ **This is a SECOND INSTRUMENT reaching a conclusion this repository already
+holds, not a discovery.** `test_maintenance.py` section 13 — *"RECORDED, NOT
+FIXED: SAFETY-02's migration has the same wrong-namespace hole, and it is a
+LATCH"* — already states it, already names `namespaced_latched`, and already
+carries the sentence *"the guard is defeated by the very key the defect wrote"*.
+That file is on `release/1.0` and this card does not touch it. What is new here
+is that the finding is now reachable **from a state file the owner supplies**
+rather than only from a fixture built in a test, and that it is reached by a
+different route: a full `Controller` start diffed against its predecessor,
+rather than assertions over a `MemStore`. Two instruments, one answer.
+
+**The finding.** A pre-DEV-02 flat store that declares a multi-inverter roster
+comes up with its SAFETY-02 latch **DISARMED**, unless the first roster entry
+happens to be named `inverter-a`. `Controller.__init__` calls
+`migrate_unit_keys(store, UNIT_A)` with a hardcoded constant, so the latch lands
+in `unit/inverter-a/sign_tripped`; a roster of `["garage", "shed"]` reads
+`unit/garage/sign_tripped`, which is absent. And `_grade_store_migration()` —
+the guard written for exactly this — sees the migration's own misdirected key
+satisfy its `namespaced_latched` test and returns without re-arming. The file
+says `sign_tripped: true`, the banner is green, and nothing is held at 0 W.
+
+**Both routes reach it, and they are NOT the same defect.** The rehearsal
+reports them as separate legs because they need separate fixes:
+
+| leg | how it gets there |
+|---|---|
+| `SAME-STEP` | the roster is declared in the same step as the upgrade. The migration runs, and is handed `UNIT_A`. |
+| `STAGED` | the flat config runs once under 0.7.0+ first. That start stamps `schema_version = 1`, so the roster start's migration takes its `from_version >= SCHEMA_VERSION` early return and **the latch never moves at all**. |
+
+⚠️ **So "hand `migrate_unit_keys()` the roster's own first name" is NOT the
+whole fix, and the rehearsal measures that rather than asserting it.**
+`test_rehearse.py` part 5b builds exactly that change and reports:
+
+    LEG STAGED: DISARMED
+    LEG SAME-STEP: clean
+
+The staged path never reaches the line that was changed. A fix that stops there
+closes the half an operator is least likely to take and leaves the half that
+"upgrade first, declare the roster later" produces. The guard side —
+`namespaced_latched` counting a namespace that is not on the roster — is what
+covers both, and a change there turns every SAFETY-44 check in part 5 red, which
+is what a fix should do to a pin that specifies a defect.
+
+The fix belongs to its own card, shown red first. Part 5 pins the current
+behaviour as a requirement so it cannot drift green by accident.
+
+### The reverse direction: the retreat is supported, the round trip is not
+
+If commissioning B goes wrong, **backing out to the flat single-inverter config
+is supported and does not corrupt state.** Measured on the fixtures:
+
+* the SAFETY-02 latch and the first pack's maintenance history both survive,
+  because `store.py` rule 2 keeps the flat spellings **live** rather than merely
+  present — `maintenance.UnitHistory.mirror_flat` writes them on every change,
+  so a single-FSM add-on finds a current history rather than one dated the day
+  the roster was declared;
+* **it orphans eight Home Assistant entities** — the four per-unit rows for each
+  of the two units. **Measured:** the add-on stops announcing them and stops
+  publishing their state, so their history gaps and any automation whose
+  trigger names them stops firing, silently and without an error.
+
+  ⚠️ **What is NOT measured, and was previously overstated here:** whether
+  advancing again restores them. An earlier draft of this section said the
+  orphaning was "not recoverable by advancing again: HA keeps the id it composed
+  at first discovery" — that reasoning cuts the other way, since keeping the
+  composed id is precisely what would let a re-advertised entity land back on
+  it, and discovery is published `retain=True` with no removal payload. Nothing
+  in this repository has tested a re-advance against a real Home Assistant, so
+  the claim is withdrawn rather than restated in the other direction. Plan the
+  retreat around the measured part: **the eight rows stop updating for as long
+  as you are retreated.**
+
+⚠️ **What is NOT supported is the round trip.** A maintenance cycle that
+completes *while the install is rolled back* is **discarded** when it
+re-advances: `maint_schema_version` is already stamped, so `migrate_maint_keys()`
+takes its early return and the pack reads the namespaced history from before the
+retreat. The pack is then recalibrated on a schedule that does not know it
+already was. **So: retreat freely, but treat a retreat as ending the current
+maintenance bookkeeping — and if a cycle ran during it, correct
+`unit/<first>/last_completed` by hand before advancing again.** This is a stated
+decision, not a discovery made at the inverter.

+    PARSER — FOURTEENTH INSTANCE OF HABIT 4, AND THE FIRST WHERE THE FIXTURE
+    AND THE CODE UNDER TEST SHARED A *SHAPE* RATHER THAN A NUMBER.** TARIFF-08.
+    `price.py`'s `_points_from_json()` read `doc["data"]` as a list of
+    `{start, price_eur_mwh}` objects. `api.energy-charts.info` publishes
+    parallel `unix_seconds` / `price` arrays and has no `data` key at all, so
+    `generic_dayahead` raised `SourceUnavailable` on **every live fetch it ever
+    made** — and the suite was green, because all three price suites built
+    their bodies with `json.dumps({"data": [...]})`. The fixture was derived
+    from the parser's guess, so no mutation of the parser and no amount of
+    coverage inside that loop could ever have reached the failure. §11.4 then
+    turned it into a *correct* silent degradation: parse error -> `no_data` ->
+    static profile -> arbitrage off, with nothing naming the cause.
+
+    Habit 2 with a network on the end of it: **the reference has to be data the
+    code under test did not shape.** For a parser that means BYTES, captured
+    from the source and committed unmodified, with the URL, the retrieval time
+    and a checksum beside them - `scenarios/energy-charts-be-price-*.json` and
+    its `-captures.json` provenance, re-derived by the replay so an edited
+    fixture stops being a capture. Two granularities, because the same endpoint
+    answers hourly before 2025-10-01 and quarter-hourly after it and a fixture
+    at one spacing cannot grade an assumption about the other.
+
+    ⚠️ **AND THE SURVIVING SYNTHETIC FIXTURES ARE NAMED FOR WHAT THEY ARE.**
+    Three shipped plugins point at endpoints nobody has verified (TARIFF-07),
+    so no capture exists for them; their fixture builder is called
+    `synthetic_row_feed` at every call site, because the next reader's default
+    assumption will otherwise be that a green check means the feed parses.
+
+    ⚠️ **ONE OF THIS CARD'S OWN NEW LINES WAS DECORATION AND THE BATTERY SAID
+    SO.** The columnar parser first rendered its instants with `brussels()`
+    before returning them. `assemble()` already renders every plugin's points,
+    so removing the parser's call changed nothing observable - **M4 came back a
+    survivor on a `:ro`, purged tree**, which is not the direction stale
+    bytecode fabricates. The line was removed rather than fenced with a check:
+    a second copy of a rule that already has an owner is indistinguishable from
+    a no-op, and the mutation that proves the rendering is real belongs on
+    `assemble()`, where it is now aimed.
+
+20. ⚠️ **A FIXTURE GRADES THE RESPONSE. NOTHING ABOUT THE REQUEST IS REACHABLE
+    FROM ONE, AND THE TRANSPORT HAD BEEN RECORDING IT ALL ALONG.** TARIFF-09,
+    and it is habit 19's closed loop with the other half still shut.
+    `generic_dayahead.fetch()` took `since` and `until` and asked for the bare
+    `?bzn=BE`, which answers ONE Brussels day - so §8.3 dropped every hour past
+    today from the trade set as provisional and the optimiser never saw
+    tomorrow as firm, at any hour of any day. Measured at 09:00: **15 firm
+    hours and 33 carried of 48**, both ends of the permitted cycle inside one
+    calendar day; at 23:00, **1 and 47**, with the firm spread no longer
+    clearing the round-trip cost.
+
+    TARIFF-08 had just fixed the RESPONSE side of this same plugin by
+    committing real bytes. It could not have caught this: a captured body is
+    the answer to a URL, and **no property of any body says which URL was
+    asked for**. `canned()` in `test_price.py` had recorded `(url, timeout_s)`
+    on every call since TARIFF-02 and not one check had ever asserted on the
+    first element - so the harness *knew* the plugin was ignoring its arguments
+    and nothing asked it. The fix is one line of habit: **where a plugin takes
+    arguments that shape a request, assert on the REQUEST off the injected
+    transport, not only on what comes back.** Section 2c does, and the
+    shipped-defect mutation (restore the bare URL, `-173 B`) is red on six
+    named checks in `test_price.py` and two in `test_price_history.py`.
+
+    ⚠️ **AND A MUTATION THAT TURNS A READ INTO `no_data` CRASHES A SUITE
+    INSTEAD OF NAMING A CHECK, UNLESS THE CHECK EXPECTS IT.** `_NoData.points`
+    raises `Absence` by design, so `derived(...) < derived(...)` over two
+    absent reads is a `TypeError` and `[p for p in plan.read.points]` is a
+    traceback - habit 5's shape with an exception in place of a hang. The
+    mutation that matters here is the "defensive" one somebody writes after
+    reading this card: *refuse when the feed returned fewer days than we asked
+    for*. It is exactly what a healthy feed does every morning before the
+    ~13:00-14:00 CET auction, and switching arbitrage off for it would be a
+    worse defect than the one being fixed. It is red BY NAME in
+    `test_price.py` (33 checks, the AC's own line among them) and takes
+    `test_price_history.py` down at **FCST-04's section 1**, whose `_before`
+    read is unguarded - a red, but an unnamed one. That is recorded rather than
+    retrofitted: guarding another card's section is a change to what its
+    checks report, and it belongs to whoever next touches it.

+# upper one. It is bounded ABOVE by the card's own case: at 1.0 the arm can only
+# fire on a unit that is IMPORTING while asked to discharge, which is

+        # THE MIGRATION FIX DOES NOT REACH THOSE INSTALLS. A store stamped by

+        # returns at the version check and never runs again. This guard is the

+        # and it still counts as protection.

+        # ⚠️ THE RESIDUAL, STATED RATHER THAN LEFT TO BE FOUND: a site whose
+        # own first unit is NAMED `inverter-a`, latched, and then taken out of
+        # the roster gets re-armed on `inverters[0]`. That is a healthy unit
+        # held at 0 W until an operator clears it, which is the conservative
+        # direction; SAFETY-44's is a site DRIVING on a state file that says it
+        # is latched.
+        #
+        # ⚠️ AND THE SECOND HALF OF THAT RESIDUAL IS THE **SENTENCE**, NOT THE
+        # BOOLEAN. The reason re-armed from is the FLAT mirror, which carries

+    answered 192 quarter-hours across exactly those two local days, measured
+    2026-09-10T07:45:49Z and committed as
+    `scenarios/energy-charts-be-price-2026-09-09_2026-09-10-twoday.json`.
+
+    THE DEFECT THIS EXISTS TO PREVENT (TARIFF-09). `generic_dayahead.fetch()`
+    accepted `since` and `until` and requested the bare default URL, so the
+    feed answered ONE Brussels day. Everything past today was then carried
+    forward from yesterday's profile, flagged provisional, and §8.3 dropped all
+    of it from the trade set - so the optimiser never saw tomorrow as firm, at
+    any hour. Measured on the merged tree at 2026-09-10T09:00+02:00 over a 48 h
+    horizon: 15 firm whole hours and 33 carried, and both ends of the only
+    permitted cycle inside ONE calendar day. The ceiling was structural: at
+    hour H of the local day a one-day window gives at most 24-H firm hours and
+    24+H carried - 1/47 at 23:00, where the firm spread no longer even clears
+    the round-trip cost. That is not what FCST-04's fill is for; it covers the
+    pre-publication window until the ~13:00-14:00 CET auction, after which a
+    healthy feed hands over tomorrow in full.
+
+    ⚠️ THE CALENDAR IS BRUSSELS, NEVER UTC, AND THIS IS `_bdate()`'s LESSON ONE
+    LAYER UP. `since`/`until` are INSTANTS; the API takes DATES, and the two are
+    not the same question. 22:30 UTC in summer is already tomorrow in Belgium,
+    so a range derived from `since.date()` asks for the wrong FIRST day for the
+    last one or two hours of every single day - and the day it drops is the one
+    the controller is standing in. price_history.py made this mistake at the
+    cache layer and documents the same arithmetic; here it decides what is
+    fetched at all, so getting it wrong loses the hours rather than misfiling
+    them.
+
+    ⚠️ `until` IS EXCLUSIVE, SO LOCAL MIDNIGHT BELONGS TO THE DAY BEFORE IT.
+    A 48 h horizon from local midnight ends at local midnight two days later,
+    and that instant is the first tick of a day the caller did not ask for.
+    Taking `brussels(until).date()` unconditionally would request a THIRD day
+    on every whole-hour horizon. This feed answers such a request without
+    complaint, so nothing would report it - which is the reason to get it right
+    here rather than to rely on the server's tolerance: the range is a claim
+    about what the caller asked for, and it should be true.
+
+    ⚠️ AND AN EMPTY OR INVERTED WINDOW COLLAPSES TO ONE DAY RATHER THAN TO A
+    BACKWARDS RANGE. `start` after `end` is a request no feed has a defined

+        no-data row switches arbitrage OFF, whereas a truncated series is
+        traded on. Nothing downstream can tell the two apart, so the refusal
+        has to happen here.
+      * ⚠️ A UNIT THAT IS NOT THE DECLARED ONE IS REFUSED. `scale` is the
+        caller's standing assumption about the unit; if the feed ever
+        publishes EUR/kWh under the same keys, every price silently comes out
+        a THOUSAND times too small. `_validate_raw()` cannot catch that -
+        `MAX_PLAUSIBLE_EUR_KWH` only bounds prices that are too LARGE.
+        DATA-02's fetcher refuses on the same field for the same reason.
+      * ⚠️ `unix_seconds` ARE UTC INSTANTS, SAID SO EXPLICITLY.
+        `datetime.fromtimestamp(t, timezone.utc)`. Without that second
+        argument CPython returns a NAIVE datetime in the HOST's zone, and a
+        naive datetime is a wall clock reading plus an assumption about whose
+        clock it was. `brussels()` and `_validate_raw()` both refuse one, so
+        the mistake surfaces as a refused fetch rather than as a mispriced
+        day - but they refuse ALL naive datetimes and can say nothing about
+        whether this one was the right instant. That part is decided here.
+
+        §9.3's rendering AT THE BRUSSELS OFFSET is `assemble()`'s, once, for

+        A plugin's job is the right INSTANT; the framework's is the rendering.
+
+    A `null` price is DROPPED and logged, not fatal, and that is a different
+    judgement from the one above: an unequal pair of arrays means the pairing
+    of instant to price is unreliable, whereas a null means the source stated
+    it published no price for that one instant. A dropped instant leaves a
+    hole, and `_Series.at()` already answers a hole with `Absence` - §11.4 for

+        guarantee.
+      * CARRIED - the hour must not appear in `published` AT ALL, the flag must
+        be exactly True, and that hour may hold no second point.
+
+    ⚠️ WHAT REPLACED "AT MOST ONE POINT PER HOUR", AND WHAT THAT DID AND DID
+    NOT CHANGE. This audit began as FCST-03's `seen` set: any repeated
+    `_utc_hour` raised, beside an identity rule `p is not src`. A bare hour
+    count cannot express a quarter-hourly feed, where four distinct published
+    points share one hour legitimately - so the count was replaced by the two
+    rules above, which subsume it.
+
+    ⚠️ AND IT IS NOT STRICTER. FCST-04's version of this paragraph claimed two
+    strengthenings and BOTH WERE FALSE; FCST-05 measured it. A differential
+    over the whole domain this audit can express - every published mask over 3
+    hours crossed with every output series of length 0-3 drawn from
+    {published, published-provisional, carried, carried-unflagged,
+    copy-of-published} - found ZERO divergence in EITHER direction:
+
+        OLD raised, NEW accepted (WEAKER):   0
+        OLD accepted, NEW raised (STRONGER): 0
+
+    The two specific claims, one at a time:
+
+      * "so does the same published point emitted twice" - the OLD `seen`
+        count already raised on that, because emitting one point twice is one
+        HOUR twice. Preserved by the identity/`emitted` rules, not added.
+      * "a carried point may no longer share an hour with a published one,
+        which the count never checked at all" - true of the COUNT, and the old
+        IDENTITY rule raised on it anyway: a carried point in a published hour
+        took the `else` branch and failed `p is not src`. The message was about
+        a copy rather than about a carry, which is the only thing that moved.
+
+    The one real behavioural change is the intended RELAXATION - several
+    distinct published points in one hour, which the old audit could not
+    express at all and refused. That relaxation is why this was rewritten, and
+    it stays. A right decision with a fabricated reason is still a defect here.
+
+    ⚠️ AND THE REAL LIMIT, WHICH IS NOT A REGRESSION AND IS NOT SMALL: THIS
+    AUDIT DOES NOT CHECK COMPLETENESS. It grades every point that IS emitted
+    and says nothing about the ones that are not. Fed the H1 decimation
+    directly - four published points in an hour, output emitting only the last
+    - it ACCEPTS; so does two of four, and so does an EMPTY output. So `_audit`
+    is NOT what stops H1 recurring. What stops it is the point COUNT and the
+    IDENTITY checks in `test_price_history.py` and `test_price_forecast.py`,
+    which compare the emitted series against the feed's own prints.
+
+    It is not made complete here, and the reason is structural rather than
+    effort: `published` is `_published_by_hour(read)` over the WHOLE read,
+    unwindowed, while `fill_from_yesterday()` emits only [since, until). A
+    published point outside the window is legitimately absent, so "every
+    published point appears" is not a true post-condition of these two
+    arguments - it would need the window passed in, which is a different
+    signature and a different check.
+
+    ⚠️ AND THAT IS MEASURED, NOT ASSUMED. FCST-05 built the rule - raise unless
+    every point of every `published[u]` is emitted, +162 B - and ran it. It
+    takes the 1 h, 12 h and 48 h HORIZON checks in test_price_forecast.py RED,
+    on the shipped fill and a healthy feed: at an off-the-hour instant the
+    feed's already-elapsed prints are outside [since, until) and are correctly
+    dropped, and the rule calls that a provenance failure. (The differential
+    beside those checks scores the same rule as 49 STRONGER cases, so it is a
+    real change of behaviour and not a no-op.) The rule as stated is therefore
+    not merely unimplemented, it is WRONG - and stating a false post-condition
+    is MUTATION.md habit 16's defect: an instrument that asserts a completeness
+    it does not have is worse than no instrument.
 
     ⚠️ RAISES, NEVER REPAIRS. A module that silently corrects its own
     provenance is one whose provenance means nothing; the only safe response to
     "this point's flag disagrees with where it came from" is to refuse to emit
     the series at all.

+
+WHAT WAS MISSING, AND WHY IT WAS INVISIBLE. FCST-03 shipped
+`price_forecast.fill_from_yesterday()` complete and checked, and shipped the
+consumers that were written to expect it - `TariffPlan.firm_points()`,
+`cheap_now()`'s refusal of a provisional hour, and `arbitrage()`'s refusal 3,
+which drops provisional hours from the trade set instead of refusing the whole
+series. Every one of those was live. The FILL ITSELF HAD NO CALLER: nothing in
+`app/` referenced `fill_from_yesterday`, so no series ever contained a carried
+point and every one of those consumers was exercising its all-firm branch.
+
+The defect that produced is not an error anywhere. `load_prices()` returns
+whatever the feed published and nothing widens it to the requested horizon, so
+on a dynamic site between midnight and the 14-16 h CET day-ahead publication
+the series covers the rest of TODAY and nothing more - typically 10-24 of the
+48 hours `price_horizon_h` asked for. `TariffPlan.arbitrage()` then computes
+`max - min` over that truncated window and reports a spread. The number is
+real, the window is half the one the operator configured, and NOTHING SAYS SO:
+tomorrow evening's peak - the hour a morning charge would be sold into - is
+simply not in the series, so the spread it would have created cannot clear a
+threshold it was never compared against. A missing hour is not a wrong price;
+it is an hour the optimiser never learns exists.
+
+So this module is the half FCST-03 left out, and it is deliberately the SMALL
+half: the fill's arithmetic, its DST rule and its provenance audit all stay in
+`price_forecast.py`, untouched. What lives here is the one thing that
+arithmetic needs and could not have: A YESTERDAY THAT SURVIVES A RESTART.
+
+
+WHY PERSISTENCE, AND NOT A VARIABLE ON THE REFRESH TASK
+======================================================
+An in-memory "the last full day I saw" costs nothing and is wrong exactly when
+it matters. The window the fill exists for is midnight -> publication; an
+add-on restarted at 08:00 - a config change, an HA update, a power cut - would
+come up with no yesterday at all and spend that whole window on the truncated
+series, which is the pre-FCST-03 behaviour arriving silently on the mornings
+after an operator touched something. The fill's own value is a function of
+surviving a restart, so the day it carries has to.
+
+⚠️ AND NOT IN `/data/state.json`. That file holds the maintenance history and
+SAFETY-02's sign latch, and `Store.set()` rewrites the whole of it on every
+write. The tariff refresh runs every `TARIFF_REFRESH_S` (1800 s), so folding a
+price cache into it would put 48 extra whole-file rewrites a day through the
+file whose corruption reads as "no maintenance ever ran" and "never tripped".
+The cache is worth having; it is not worth putting anywhere near that. Separate
+file, separate blast radius.
+
+⚠️ AND THE DIRECTORY IS NOT CREATED, which is `tariff.PeakStore`'s rule and its
+reason applies unchanged: `/data` is mounted by the Supervisor and always
+exists on a real install, so `makedirs` here could only ever succeed where the
+durable volume is MISSING - manufacturing a cache on the container's ephemeral
+layer that writes fine, reads fine, and is thrown away on the next restart.
+That is a yesterday that silently forgets, which is worse than one that says it
+cannot answer.
+
+⚠️ AND THAT RULE IS CARRIED OUT IN `_remember()`, NOT ONLY IN `_save()`. FCST-04
+first shipped it half-done: `_save()` short-circuited on `not self.ok` while
+`_remember()` filled `self._days` anyway, so a store with no durable volume
+answered `words` = "unavailable" and `yesterday()` = A SERIES - an in-memory
+yesterday that works all day and is gone on the next restart, which is exactly
+the silently-forgetting cache this rule exists to refuse. A store that cannot
+persist now records nothing, and both of its answers say the same thing.
+
+⚠️ AND "CANNOT PERSIST" IS ONE QUESTION, ASKED ONCE, ABOUT THE OUTCOME -
+FCST-06. The paragraph above enforced that rule against `not self.ok`, which is
+one SYMPTOM of not persisting: the durable volume is missing. There is a second,
+and FCST-06 measured it. With `ok=True` and the directory present, `_save()` can
+still fail - a read-only remount (`[Errno 30] Read-only file system`), a full
+volume (`[Errno 28] No space left on device`) - and it logs, records
+`last_error` and returns. `_remember()` had already populated `self._days`, so
+`words` read `'2026-01-14 (24 points over 24 h); 2026-01-15 (24 points over
+24 h) [could not write (...)]'` while the file on disk held `{}`, and
+`yesterday()` answered 24 REAL POINTS for the rest of the process's life. Gone
+on the next restart, and nothing said it would be - the same silently-forgetting
+cache, reached by the condition the rule did not name.
+
+⚠️ SO IT IS NOT TWO RULES, AND IT IS DELIBERATELY NOT TWO TESTS. "Can this
+store persist?" CANNOT BE ANSWERED BEFORE THE ATTEMPT - a directory that existed
+and was writable a moment ago is not a write that completed - so it is answered
+AFTER it, once, by the only thing holding the evidence: `_save()` returns
+whether the file now holds what memory holds. A missing volume is one of its
+False cases and an `OSError` from the write is another, and `_remember()` KEEPS
+ONLY WHAT THAT ONE ANSWER SAYS WAS KEPT. There is no `not self.ok` test in
+`_remember()` any more, because there is nothing left for a second test to add -
+and a third symptom nobody has thought of is how this defect arrived both times.
+
+⚠️ AND WHAT IS KEPT IS THE LAST STATE THAT IS ON DISK, NOT AN EMPTY ONE. The
+MERGE is undone, not the store. A site whose volume fills at 14:00 goes on
+answering the yesterday it wrote at 13:30 - that record survives a restart, so
+answering it is not a promise the store cannot keep. What it stops doing is
+adding to it. The invariant the rule was always describing, stated once:
+`self._days` NEVER HOLDS A POINT THE FILE DOES NOT. (Not "mirrors the file" -
+`_usable_days()` drops records the file still holds. The only direction that can
+invent a yesterday is the one named.)
+
+
+THE FOUR RULES THIS FILE IS SHAPED BY
+=====================================
+
+1. IT RECORDS WHAT THE PROVIDER PUBLISHED, NEVER WHAT THE FILL PRODUCED.
+   Feeding a filled series back in is the defect that makes the whole mechanism
+   rot: day 2 carries day 1's guesses, day 3 carries day 2's carry of them, and
+   after a week of a dead feed the "yesterday" being carried forward is a
+   fossil of the last real publication with nothing anywhere reporting its age.
+   Every point still carries `provisional=True`, so the flag never lies - what
+   decays is the NUMBER, silently, behind a flag that is telling the truth.
+
+   ⚠️ NO VALUE-LEVEL CHECK CAN CATCH THAT, and saying so is more useful than a
+   guarantee that would not hold. A carried point and a published-provisional
+   point (`eneco_eddy`'s current quarter, §9.2) are the same three fields with
+   the same flag; the difference is provenance, and provenance is not in the
+   value. So the mechanism is ORDERING, not validation: `carry()` is the only
+   public entry point, it remembers the argument and returns the fill, and the
+   filled series exists only as a return value that `carry()` itself never
+   sees again. `_remember()` is private, is called from exactly one place, and
+   `test_price_history.py` PARSES every shipped module under `app/`, `tools/`,
+   `scenarios/` and `estop/` and fails if any of them uses the NAME - an
+   attribute, a bare name, a def, or the string constant a `getattr` needs. By
+   name rather than by substring, so a comment about the rule does not fail it
+   and a call from `tools/` cannot pass unseen.
+
+   ⚠️ AND THE ORDER IS GRADED BY DRIVING IT, NOT BY READING THE SOURCE. The
+   first version of that check compared positions in `ast.walk`, which is
+   breadth-first: `self._remember(...)` is a statement and `self.yesterday(...)`
+   is an ARGUMENT of the fill, one level deeper, so `_remember` came out first
+   whichever statement was written first - shipped and reversed scored the
+   same. What grades it now is the behaviour: a feed carrying yesterday
+   alongside today, into an EMPTY store, must fill the whole horizon, and
+   reversed it fills nothing.
+
+2. "YESTERDAY" MEANS YESTERDAY, NOT "THE NEWEST DAY I HAVE".
+   `newest()` is the natural accessor and it is the one that decays: an add-on
+   down from Friday to Monday would answer Friday's prices to a fill that flags
+   them as one day old. The lookup is BY DATE - the Brussels day before the
+   Brussels day of the instant asked about - and a record for any other date is
+   NO_RECORD with a reason naming both dates. A three-day-old profile is not a
+   worse yesterday; it is not a yesterday.
+
+3. A STORE THAT CANNOT ANSWER SAYS SO, IN THE TYPE.
+   `yesterday()` returns a `PriceRead`: a `series` when a full record exists,
+   `no_data(reason)` for every other outcome - no file, no record for that
+   date, an unreadable file, a record that parses to nothing. There is no
+   empty-series answer and no `.get(..., [])`-shaped accessor, for
+   `price.py`'s reason: an empty series is how "the cache is broken" gets to
+   wear the shape of "yesterday was free". `fill_from_yesterday()` takes a
+   `PriceRead` and handles `no_data` on its own, so the degraded case needs no
+   branch at the call site - it fills nothing and the horizon stays short,
+   which is exactly the behaviour that shipped before this ticket.
+
+4. HOURS ACCUMULATE WITHIN A DAY; THEY DO NOT REPLACE IT.
+   A feed that serves only the REMAINING hours of the day (a legitimate shape -
+   nothing in the plugin contract promises a whole day) would, under
+   replace-the-record, overwrite a complete 24-hour profile with the two points
+   left at 22:00 and hand the next morning a yesterday with two hours in it. So
+   a record is MERGED by instant: a later read updates the hours it carries and
+   leaves the rest, and a revised price for an hour already held wins because
+   it is the newer statement about the same hour.
+
+⚠️ KEYED BY INSTANT, NOT BY LOCAL HOUR, AND THAT IS THE DST DECISION. Storing
+`hour -> price` would collapse the two 02:00s of a 25-hour October day into
+one, inventing a second and different collapsing rule beside the one
+`fill_from_yesterday()` already documents ("the first of its two 02:00 points
+is the one used, deterministically"). Storing the instants keeps both, in
+order, and lets the fill's own rule be the only one in the system.
+
+WHAT THIS DOES NOT DO, ON PURPOSE
+=================================
+It does not extend the fill to a feed that published NOTHING. `resolve_tariff()`
+applies `carry()` only on a `series` read; a `no_data` read still falls to
+`_degrade()` and §11.4's row - "No price data -> fall back to the static
+profile, mark the plan provisional, no arbitrage" - which is the fallback the
+operator configured `static_profile` FOR. Preferring yesterday's feed over it
+would change a documented degradation without being asked, and it would buy
+nothing measurable: a fully-carried series is 100 % provisional, so
+`arbitrage()` finds fewer than two firm hours and refuses, and `cheap_now()` is
+False, exactly as on the §11.4 fallback. The two differ only in which numbers
+the status page shows. `fill_from_yesterday()` handles a `no_data` read anyway,
+and that branch is therefore not reached from production - it stays checked,
+and turning it on is a product decision, not a wiring one. See
+DECISIONS/FCST-04-the-day-that-is-carried.md.

+    the TRUNCATED HORIZON this ticket exists to remove, silently, while the code
+    read as though the fill were happening. There is nothing to forget now.
+
+    ⚠️ AND THE FILL RUNS ONLY ON A `series` READ. A feed that published nothing
+    still falls to `_degrade()` and §11.4's own row - the static profile the
+    operator configured FOR that case - rather than to yesterday's feed. The two
+    are indistinguishable to the optimiser (both are 100 % provisional, so
+    `arbitrage()` finds fewer than two firm hours and refuses, and `cheap_now()`
+    is False), so preferring yesterday would change a documented degradation for
+    a difference only the status page can see. See price_history.py's closing
+    note and DECISIONS/FCST-04-the-day-that-is-carried.md.
+
+    ⚠️ THE FILL IS PER WHOLE HOUR AND ITS COVERAGE IS CONDITIONAL. Every point
+    the provider published inside the window passes through BY IDENTITY - four
+    of them in one hour on a quarter-hourly product like `eneco_eddy` - and a
+    carried point is added only for a whole hour the feed did not print at all
+    AND yesterday did. An hour neither source can price is left out, which is
+    §11.4 for that hour: `plan.price_at()` raises rather than answering, and an
+    hour with no price is not a free one.
+
+    ⚠️ THE FILLED SERIES IS WINDOWED TO [since, until), AND THAT IS A CHANGE.
+    `load_prices()` returns whatever the feed sent, past hours included, and
+    `TariffPlan.arbitrage()` took its spread over all of it - so an hour that
+    had already gone could be the cheapest hour of a cycle nothing can now buy
+    in. `fill_from_yesterday()` walks the requested horizon and emits exactly
+    that, so the spread is over hours that are still ahead. Both directions of

A captured real body is what breaks that loop, so these files are bytes, not a reconstruction: nothing here is pretty-printed, re-keyed or trimmed. TARIFF-09 adds a body from a request that names a DATE RANGE, for the same reason one layer out: the shipped plugin took `since`/`until` and asked for the bare default URL, so the feed answered ONE Brussels day and every hour past today was carried forward and dropped from the trade set as provisional.

-# WATTS. Shrinking a unit's share shrinks its gap. Shrink it below 500 W and the
-# alarm stops firing on a unit that is still delivering nothing.
+# ⚠️ THIS PART USED TO PIN THE UNFLATTERING ANSWER ON PURPOSE, AND SAFETY-43 IS
+# THE CARD THAT INVERTED IT. What it said - and it was true when it was written
+# - was: a wedged unit's weight MOVES whenever its energy headroom differs from
+# its sibling's (it is a pack fact, not a delivery fact), `delivery.delinquent()`
+# named a unit only while its `short_by()` gap exceeded `min_w`
+# (`Tuning.saturation_w`, 500 W) IN ABSOLUTE WATTS, and shrinking a unit's share
+# shrinks its gap. Shrink it below 500 W and the alarm stopped firing on a unit
+# that was still delivering nothing. The old text ended "if it ever goes red
+# because the alarm fired, read the card that made it fire before 'fixing' this
+# line". SAFETY-43 is that card, this is that red, and the checks below are the
+# same three measurements with their answers the other way round.
 #
-# So the seam is not "OPT-09 cannot see it". It is: OPT-09 stops the ask AND
-# narrows SAFETY-42's detection window on the same unit. At equal weights the
-# window is `site target < 2 * min_w` = 1000 W; at OPT-09's weights it is
-# `site target < min_w * (w_A + w_B) / w_B`, which on this fixture is 6500 W.
+# ⚠️ AND THE EVIDENCE IS THE DIFF BETWEEN TWO RULES ON ONE RUN, NOT A NUMBER
+# THAT CHANGED IN A COMMIT. `delinquent()` takes `share_frac`, and
+# `share_frac=None` is SAFETY-42's rule EXACTLY - the absolute arm alone. So
+# `wedged_loop` grades every cycle twice, once under each rule, and the red and
+# the green sit side by side in one output:
 #
-# ⚠️ BOTH BOUNDS ARE ARITHMETIC ABOUT `_fill()`'s PROPORTIONAL REGIME AND NEITHER IS A REACHABLE STEADY STATE. Swept on this fixture, the healthy pack's own 5000 W rating binds FIRST: suppressed 0/200 up to a 3000 W load, 4/200 at 4000 W, 41/200 at 4900 W (site target 5320 W, the largest reached with the wedged unit still under 500 W), then 195/200 at 5000 W once `_fill()` pins A at its cap and hands B 3000 W. So the alarm returns BELOW the 6500 W formula bound, not above it. The equal-weights 1000 W bound is unreachable for the same reason - the equal arm names the wedged unit 199/200 at every load swept, 1000 W included.
+#     load 1500 W, OPT-09 weights, absolute arm only   named on   0/200 cycles
+#     load 1500 W, OPT-09 weights, the shipped rule    named on 200/200 cycles
 #
-# ⚠️ THIS IS A DETECTION REGRESSION AT N=2 AND IT IS NOT FIXED HERE. Making
-# `delinquent()` relative to the ask rather than absolute is SAFETY-42's code and
-# a design change; it is filed as card SAFETY-43. What this part does is GRADE THE
-# CURRENT BEHAVIOUR so that the day it changes, a named check moves.
+# A future reader who wants to know what this card did runs this file.
+#
+# ⚠️ WHAT SAFETY-43 DID NOT DO IS LOWER `min_w`, and the check on the window
+# arithmetic below is what holds that open: the ABSOLUTE arm's suppression
+# window is still 500 W wide and still widens to 6500 W under these weights.
