SAFETY-121 review: DECISIONS limits state the jitter spread and the slow-cycle case

The jittery-meter numbers depend on the draw (review: 4, 4, 5 of 11 at the
quarter edge; up to 4 quiet quarters at 20 s; first warning up to 61 min
later). Above about 40 s per cycle, a short bound can still use up the
budget when the wire changes hands every few cycles. Text only.

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

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

+
+Quarter-edge seeds: 1-30 with the meter in the same cycle, and 1-40 (1-30
+at 20 and 30 s) with the test's 1-2 cycle delay. 5300 W: seeds 1-5.
+Commands identical to no fix and to bee7431 in all 1013 runs (these and
+the limits below). Choosing the numbers: the runs above were recorded
+without the fix and replayed through candidate rules; with 3, 4 or 5
+cycles, budgets 9 to 13 met both cases at 1-30 s. 8 warns at the quarter
+edge (2 s, seed 25) and 14 misses quarters in the rig's shape (1 s,
+5050 W), both checked in part 4. 11 is the middle, and 4 the middle of 3
+to 5; with a jittery meter (below) 3 gave more false alarms, 5 more quiet
+quarters (replay).
+
+**First warning after one hand-back** (the loop at its rail; later than
+no fix by): 11 s at 1 s, 22 s at 2 s, 24 s at 3 s, 25 s at 5 s (default),
+30 s at 10 s, 45 s at 15 s, 60 s at 20 s, 90 s at 30 s, 180 s at 60 s.
+bee7431: 10, 20, 30, 40, 80, 90, 80, 120, 240 s. In the overload runs at
+1 to 30 s, the first warning was at most 90 s later than without the fix.
+
+**Limits (measured, not fixed).**
+- A meter that jitters by 30 % with `cycle_floor_s` 15 (11 seeds): with
+  the test's 1-2 cycle meter delay the quarter edge warns on 2 of 11 seeds
+  at 15 s, 2 at 20 s and 5 at 30 s (bee7431: 4, 0, 10; no fix: 11 each);
+  with the meter in the same cycle on none (no fix: 10, 9, 11). The overload at 5100 W leaves up
+  to 4 quiet quarters in a row at 15 and 20 s (bee7431: no warning at all
+  on some seeds); at 5200 W at most 1. Its first warning came up to 61 min
+  later than without the fix. The numbers depend on the jitter draw: the
+  review's draw gave 4, 4 and 5 of 11 at the quarter edge (bee7431: 4, 1,
+  9) and up to 2 and 4 quiet quarters at 15 and 20 s.
+- With cycles over about 40 s, a bound that is never past a settle uses up
+  11 in 900 s only if the wire changes hands every few cycles; otherwise
+  it is never counted (part 5 prints it at 60 s).
+- Hidden as designed: a real bound with the kick's shape (at most 11 cycles
+  in 900 s, each within 3 cycles or 22 s of a hand-back).
+
+**Re-pinned.** test_safety84 (all six) and test_safety87 (`n1_crossing`,
+`n1_above`, `n1_charge_low`): only OUTPUT_CLAMP log rows differ from
+bee7431 and from no fix; commands, claims, guard and phases are the same.
