TARIFF-24 round 3: a run planned with a forecast keeps its gap to its end

Losing the solar forecast mid-run used to widen the gap at once and stop a grid charge (and a sensor that went unavailable for a minute stopped and restarted it). A run under way when the forecast is lost now keeps the gap it was planned with until it ends (Controller.weather_held(), recorded by _wx_track() each cycle a forecast is read); the wider gap applies from the next run. The plan key holds the hold state so the plan rebuilds when it ends. Home's mirror (homeview.trade_verdict) asks the same weather_held(now). Tests: test_tariff24_weather.py part 4 (going: the charge continues to the run's end, the next run is not_worth; flap of one and two reads: no stop, no restart; Home agrees) and a test_modes_p4.py scenario that runs a forecast day at a gap between 1x and 1.5x the cycle cost. DECISIONS wording follows. Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
TARIFF-24 round 2: test_modes_p4 scenarios keep the 0.30 gate they were written for

 # Changelog

+## 0.19.1
+
+**A patch bump: two fixes for battery modes, and no option changes.**
+No option was added, removed or renamed, and no default changed (86 options).
+**Existing installs need no option change:** options that start 0.19.0 also
+start 0.19.1. The changes below apply with one inverter or two.
+
+**Battery modes now see a day/night or fixed tariff.** With battery modes on, a day/night or fixed tariff and no price service, the batteries never got the prices: "Cheap hours" never charged from the grid at the cheap rate, and the Batteries screen said "No prices". They get them now, with no price service and no internet call added.
+
+**A solar forecast now counts for the price gap.** With battery modes on and a solar forecast read, a price mode needs a gap of at least *Battery cycle cost*, not 1.5 times that. Without a forecast it is still 1.5 times. A day/night gap of 0.08 now works at a cycle cost of 0.07 or less.

+| `TARIFF-24` | With battery modes on, the add-on now also resolves the tariff when no price service and no price trading are set, so a day/night or fixed tariff gives the batteries their price runs ([[TARIFF-24]]). With battery modes on and a solar forecast read, the price gap a mode needs is *Battery cycle cost* (widened only for a real-time feed), not 1.5 times that; Home and the Batteries screen use the same rule ([[AUDIT-02]] F1). |

+
+## 0.19.0
+
+**A minor bump: price trading behaves differently, plus a fix for a false warning, the Home price chart in 15-minute bars, more Dutch text and EMS-port wording, and no option changes.**
+No option was added, removed or renamed, and no default changed (86 options). It is a minor bump because price trading changes when the battery charges and gives power; every saved setting still starts.
+**Existing installs need no option change:** options that start 0.18.2 also
+start 0.19.0. The changes below apply with one inverter or two.
+
+**Price trading skips periods that are over.** When the add-on trades on price, it now picks only from price periods that are not over yet. With battery modes off and 15-minute prices, the battery therefore trades for longer (about 1.5 to 2.5 times the minutes in a simulation of 16 real days), so it cycles more; with battery modes on, it no longer charges from the grid because of a cheap period that is over. Hourly and day/night sites change too: they no longer pause at the start of each hour.

+
+| | |
+|---|---|
+| `243a756` | The docs, the add-on description and the field guide now say the add-on is wired to the inverter's EMS port, not a "meter bus". In Home Assistant the device's manufacturer text becomes "GoodWe (via RS485 EMS port)", and the device and its entities stay the same ([[DOC-8]], #201) |
+| `75f0804` | The price chart on the Home page now shows one bar for each 15-minute price, the price the add-on decides on, where it showed hour averages. Its cheap and dear colours now show where the add-on will charge or give power, instead of thirds of the price range ([[UX-45]], #202) |
+| `bee7431` | First half of the "not keeping up" fix, shipped with the next row and described there ([[SAFETY-119]], #203) |
+| `e077ae7` | The false "Battery is not keeping up" warning, and its Home Assistant notification, no longer appear when the peak guard steps in and then gives control back near the start of a 15-minute period; battery commands do not change. A real overload still warns at the start of each 15-minute period, up to about 25 s later with the default 5 s meter, but with an uneven meter of about 15 to 20 s and a small overload, it can stay quiet for up to an hour ([[SAFETY-121]], #204, with [[SAFETY-119]]) |
+| `90bc901` | On Dutch pages, the status rows, banners and settings notes now show Dutch text where they showed English, and so do the setup wizard's checks once [[UX-51]] is fixed. The settings label of the 15-minute demand forecast sensor no longer ends in "(W)", and English pages change only by that label ([[UX-46]], #205) |
+| `aa22806` | Price trading, and the check for it with battery modes on, now ignore price periods that have already ended, so the add-on no longer aims at a 15-minute period that is over and then does nothing. Hourly and day/night sites also change: there is no pause at the start of each hour, as the owner accepted ([[PRICE-02]], #206) |
+
+### Known issues
+
+- A false "Battery is not keeping up" can still show when the peak guard pauses a maintenance charge ([[SAFETY-92]]).
+- A battery capped at a low limit with a perfectly flat reading can still trip the stale check ([[SAFETY-74]]).
+- A battery whose reading at rest is beyond about ±175 W is still not caught when it refuses ([[SAFETY-97]]).
+- The peak guard can still back off near the end of a 15-minute period when a meter reading is late, by less than 30 s ([[SAFETY-99]]).
+- Two inverters: the maintenance charge can switch on and off while the house is above the peak aim ([[SAFETY-88]]).
+- Two inverters: the "circulating" figure counts a battery's reading at rest ([[SAFETY-98]]).
+- Two inverters: a drain that starts during a big step in house use can send the other battery to full power, and about 1 kW goes to the grid for about 10 s ([[SAFETY-104]]).
+- Two inverters: when a battery comes back during a maintenance charge, the grid can step by several kW at once ([[SAFETY-101]]).
+- Two inverters: when a battery drops out during a solar surplus, the others can swing by up to 1.5 kW in a simulation ([[SAFETY-105]]).
+- Two inverters: after a drain ends, a change in house use can go unanswered for about 9 s, because some readings are old ([[SAFETY-106]]).
+- Two inverters: when one battery's level is missing, both batteries are held at 0 W, and for about 15 s the last command stays on ([[SAFETY-108]]).
+- Two inverters: if one battery's level stays missing for 12 h, the other battery's cycle can be marked failed, with a 7-day wait and a notice, though it is healthy. This comes from reading the code; it has not been seen on a site ([[MAINT-17]]).
+- When the 15-minute demand forecast sensor counts the battery's own charge, the maintenance charge runs at about half the power the peak limit leaves, so it takes about twice as long. Seen on a site: about 1.2 kW instead of 2.5 kW, and the peak limit was kept ([[SAFETY-111]]).
+- One inverter: after a link drop, the battery's own safety stop to 0 W can be taken as a refusal, and the site stays at 0 W for up to 15 min ([[SAFETY-102]]).
+- After a Home Assistant restart, control still waits until Home Assistant has finished starting, which can take several minutes, though the readings are already there ([[SAFETY-115]]).
+- While Home Assistant is not answering, the page can list inverters as refusing commands and sensors as missing, and send you to Developer Tools, though they are fine ([[UX-37]]).
+- If Home Assistant hangs or stops, the page keeps saying "Waiting for Home Assistant" and never turns into an alarm ([[SAFETY-113]]).
+- Right after Home Assistant has started, the page can say for about 4 s that an inverter cannot be controlled, and the first command can come late ([[SAFETY-114]]).
+- After a Home Assistant restart, the controller status sensor can still say "running" while the add-on cannot control. It was seen once, and the cause is not known ([[SAFETY-116]]).
+- Battery modes on: after a planned top-up from the grid, the Batteries screen can say "Enough sun is forecast" ([[UX-32]]).
+- Battery modes on: the forecast line "we count on" can show more sun than the plan counts, because the plan takes house use off first ([[UX-33]]).
+- Battery modes on: before a planned top-up, the Today list shows a smaller "gives" amount than the plan will use; it grows as the charge happens ([[UX-34]]).
+- Two inverters, battery modes on: while the other battery is in its maintenance charge, a battery's card can say it charges from the grid while it stays at 0 W ([[OPT-18]]).
+- Two inverters, battery modes on: while a battery refuses to charge in a cheap run, the action log on the page gets about 8 lines an hour for its retries, and the page hint says "waiting for a better price" ([[UX-38]]).
+- A battery in a safety stop, or one the add-on cannot reach, can still be started for a cycle, and its drain then waits about 12 h and ends in a failed-cycle notice. This comes from reading the code; it has not been seen on a site ([[MAINT-19]]).
+- On the Settings page, the rows of the solar forecast lists are labelled "Phase 1", "Phase 2" instead of "Sensor 1", "Sensor 2" ([[UX-27]]).
+- In the solar forecast list, a blank or repeated row makes "source 2 of 2" count differently from the rows on the Settings page ([[UX-28]]).
+- The solar forecast message says "has no reading" also when the sensor shows a number that is too old or in the wrong unit ([[UX-29]]).
+- If you use only the forecast lists, two Settings notes sit on the single-sensor field, and one of them tells you to set that field ([[UX-30]]).
+- After a restart during a price outage, the "No prices" message can say "yet" when prices did come in earlier ([[UX-39]]).
+- On the new settings page, you cannot see whether a price service token is set. Check the Configuration tab ([[UX-41]]).
+- On the classic settings page, the first click on Save after editing a field can do nothing. Click again ([[UX-42]]).
+- A steady overload on a 1 s meter can warn, and send the Home Assistant notification, 2 or 3 times at the start of each 15-minute period instead of once. The peak limit is still kept ([[SAFETY-122]]).
+- A fixed tariff is priced once per hour, so a price window that starts or ends at :15, :30 or :45 gets the wrong price for part of that hour. Windows that start and end on the hour are right ([[TARIFF-23]]).
+- Step 6 of the setup wizard stays empty because of an error in the page, in English and in Dutch ([[UX-51]]).
+- On Dutch pages, refusal texts, the last-event line under the Home buttons, the installer details and the trading status sentences are still English, and a few Dutch texts read badly, such as "1 metingen geweigerd" ([[UX-52]]).
+- Home can show a grid charge that the add-on will not take: the rest of a cheap run that the trade check refuses (battery modes on), or a charge after the last dear price period (battery modes off). The battery stays idle then ([[UX-53]]).
+- Some price texts say "hour" where the add-on acts on a 15-minute period, such as "cheapest hour" ([[UX-47]]).
+- After the add-on restarts, the Home price chart shows no price for the earlier part of today, and the setup check can say "12 of 24 hours", though the prices are known ([[UX-48]]).
+- With battery modes on and only batteries on "Leftover solar", the Home price chart can mark a cheap period where no battery charges ([[UX-49]]).
+- On a phone, the bars of the Home price chart are too thin to tap one 15-minute period. The arrow keys work ([[UX-50]]).

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

+# TARIFF-24 - battery modes need the tariff task
+
+**Status: FIXED in 0.19.1 (hotfix from 0.19.0, owner go 2026-10-28).**
+Follows TARIFF-10 (fetching is not trading). Tests: `test_tariff24.py`.
+
+**The defect.** The control cycle gets prices only from
+`Controller.tariff_plan`, which only `run_tariff_refresh()` stores. `amain()`
+starts that task when `tariff_refresh_wanted(opts)`, which was
+`provider_configured(opts) or arbitrage.enabled(opts)`. Battery modes read the
+plan but were not a term. With battery modes on, a day/night or fixed
+`static_profile`, `price_provider: off` and `arbitrage_enabled: false` (the
+site trade switch is not read with modes on) no task ran. Then
+`fresh_tariff_plan()` was None, `_price_runs()` was None and `mode_runs` was
+None, so Leftover solar and Cheap hours never charged from the grid. The
+Batteries screen said "No prices, so it follows the house" while Home priced
+the day from `static_plan()` itself (`homeview.build_plan()`).
+
+**The fix** (`main.py`, `tariff_refresh_wanted()`). `packmode.enabled(opts)`
+is a third term. The gate stays a widening: nothing that started the task
+before stops. No HTTPS call is added: with `price_provider: off`,
+`resolve_tariff()` is the pure `static_plan()`.
+
+**Not changed.** Modes off, arbitrage off, no feed still starts no task. The
+control law, the price runs and every message are untouched.
+
+**One rule, not two.** Gating on "modes on and a static profile" was
+considered. It saves one arithmetic pass every 30 min on a site with modes on
+and no prices at all, and it adds a second condition that has to track what
+`resolve_tariff()` accepts. With no profile and no feed the plan is `no_data`,
+exactly what the cycle sees without the task.
+
+**UX-55.** Home said "no prices have arrived" (`mode_runs` None) with every
+battery on Solar first. The same cause, and this fix clears it for a site with
+a static profile (`test_tariff24.py` part 5). A site with no profile and no
+feed still has no prices, and Home still says so.
+
+## Round 2 (AUDIT-02 F1): the forecast replaces the "no weather" doubt
+
+**Decided 2026-10-28 (owner), in the same hotfix.** The price gap a mode needs
+was `cycle_cost_threshold_eur` x 1.5 (`Uncertainty.NO_WEATHER`) whether or not
+a solar forecast was read. At the shipped cost 0.10 that is 0.15, so a
+day/night gap (0.08) and many dynamic days never traded, and the screens said
+only "Prices differ too little".
+
+**Why the doubt goes with a forecast.** The widening stands in for not knowing
+the weather. The forecast is that knowledge, and the day plan already trusts it
+for how much to charge. Trusting it for the plan but doubting it for the gap
+was one input judged twice.
+
+**The rule** (`arbitrage.weather_uncertainty()`). With battery modes on and a
+usable forecast (`solar_fc` not None, the day plan's own test) the doubt is
+not added: the gap needed is the cycle cost, widened by the price product only.
+No forecast, or a stale or unusable one: 1.5 x, as before. It is read in three
+places that must agree: the run plan (`_price_runs()`), the charge gate
+(`_mode_roles()`) and Home's mirror (`homeview.trade_verdict()`). The forecast
+is read at most every 60 s and the plan key already holds "forecast or not", so
+the gap follows in the cycle the read changes, both ways, with one exception:
+a run planned with a forecast that is under way keeps that gap to its end
+(`Controller.weather_held()`), so a sensor that goes unavailable does not stop
+or restart a charge. The wider gap applies from the next run.
+
+**Not changed.** Modes off (the site trade) keeps the doubt always. The
+shipped cost 0.10 still needs a gap of 0.10 even with a forecast: a 0.08
+day/night site must set *Battery cycle cost* to 0.08 or less. Showing the two
+numbers on the screens (AUDIT-02 F1 option b) is a separate card.

-    THE DEFECT THIS PREVENTS, and it shipped: the gate below used to be
-    `arbitrage.enabled(opts)` alone. That option defaults to `false`, and
-    `run_tariff_refresh` is the only caller of `resolve_tariff()`, which is the
-    only caller of `price_history.carry()` - so on a shipped install with a
-    provider configured NOTHING was ever fetched, no plan was ever resolved,
-    `/data/price_history.json` was never created, the *Price history* row read
-    `empty` forever, and TARIFF-09's short-horizon warning could not fire
-    because there was no fetch to warn about. Measured over a 40 h soak of two
-    instances side by side: zero feed requests and `present: false` across all
-    802 samples on the shipped default, against a resolved plan from the same
-    feed on the instance with arbitrage armed. ⚠️ AND `DOCS.md` HAS
-    DESCRIBED THE BEHAVIOUR BELOW SINCE THE COMMIT THAT WROTE THE GATE:
-    OPT-04 (bdd7f18) added the refresh task, the `arbitrage.enabled()` guard on
-    it, and the sentence saying a configured provider still fetches, all in one
-    change. config.yaml has said it since TARIFF-02 (852fc7c).
-
-    Two terms, and they answer two different questions:
-
-      provider_configured(opts) -> "the operator asked for a price feed", so
-                                   fetch it, validate it and record the day
-                                   (§8.3). This is the term TARIFF-10 ADDS.
-      arbitrage.enabled(opts)   -> "the operator armed trading". This term is
-                                   what the gate USED to be, kept verbatim.
-
-    ⚠️ IT IS AN `or`, SO THE GATE IS A STRICT WIDENING. Every configuration
-    that started this task before still starts it; none that did not start it
-    stops anything. That matters because the second term is not redundant:
-    `price_provider: off` + a `static_profile` + `arbitrage_enabled: true` is a
-    configuration validate.py explicitly ACCEPTS, and it trades - measured, at
-    `cycle_cost_threshold_eur: 0.05` on a 0.20/0.284 day/night profile,
-    `ARBITRAGE_CHARGE -5000 W`. Dropping that term to make the gate read
-    `provider_configured(opts)` alone would leave `self.tariff_plan` at None on
-    that site forever and `decide()` would answer "no tariff plan has been
-    resolved yet" on every cycle - silently disarming a strategy the UI says is
-    running, which is the exact failure validate.py's OPT-04 rules exist to
-    refuse.
-
-    ⚠️ AND NO CONFIGURATION ACQUIRES A PERIODIC HTTPS CALL FROM THIS TICKET.
-    With `price_provider` off, `resolve_tariff()` returns `static_plan()` - pure
-    arithmetic, no socket - so the second term starts a task that fetches
-    nothing. The true shipped default (no provider, no arbitrage) starts no
-    task at all. What is fetched is decided by the FIRST term only.
-
-    ⚠️ THIS IS NOT A TRADING SWITCH. It decides whether prices are LOOKED UP.
-    Whether they move energy is `arbitrage.enabled()` at the one call site in
-    `cycle()`, and TARIFF-10 did not touch it: `arbitrage_enabled: false` still
-    means no trade, ever, on any configuration.
+    Yes with a price feed, with trading on price armed, or with battery modes
+    on: the modes read `self.tariff_plan` for their price runs. With
+    `price_provider` off the refresh is pure arithmetic on `static_profile`, so
+    no term here adds an HTTPS call. It decides whether prices are looked up,
+    never whether energy moves. See DECISIONS/TARIFF-10-fetching-is-not-trading.md

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

+in the run plan (`_price_runs()`), the charge gate (`_mode_roles()`) and Home's
+mirror (`homeview.trade_verdict()`). Modes off is untouched.
+DECISIONS/TARIFF-24-modes-need-the-tariff-task.md.
+
+1. The rule itself, and that modes off keeps the doubt.
+2. Day/night 0.34/0.26 (gap 0.08), modes on, real Controller, night period:
+   with a forecast at cycle cost 0.07 the cheap run is planned and the Cheap
+   hours battery charges; without one, or with a stale one, the same cost needs
+   0.105 and the reason is `not_worth` / "Prices differ too little".
+3. A dynamic day with a 0.12 gap at cost 0.10: on with a forecast, not worth
+   without.
+4. The forecast coming (the gate follows in the same cycle) and going mid-run:
+   a run under way keeps its gap to its end, the next run needs the wider one;
+   a forecast unavailable for one or two reads mid-run does not stop or
+   restart the charge.
+5. Home agrees with control in each case (Batteries Why, Home line, and
+   `trade_verdict()`, Home's mirror of the gate).
+
+Mutations (MUTATION.md, purged copies, graded over this file): the doubt always
+added (the old code) fails parts 2 to 5; never added fails the without-forecast
+rows; Home's mirror left on the old rule fails part 5.

glenn schrooyenandClaude	97686319f3	TARIFF-24 round 3: a run planned with a forecast keeps its gap to its end checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 51m57s Details infra-pin / fresh (pull_request) Successful in 1s Details Losing the solar forecast mid-run used to widen the gap at once and stop a grid charge (and a sensor that went unavailable for a minute stopped and restarted it). A run under way when the forecast is lost now keeps the gap it was planned with until it ends (Controller.weather_held(), recorded by _wx_track() each cycle a forecast is read); the wider gap applies from the next run. The plan key holds the hold state so the plan rebuilds when it ends. Home's mirror (homeview.trade_verdict) asks the same weather_held(now). Tests: test_tariff24_weather.py part 4 (going: the charge continues to the run's end, the next run is not_worth; flap of one and two reads: no stop, no restart; Home agrees) and a test_modes_p4.py scenario that runs a forecast day at a gap between 1x and 1.5x the cycle cost. DECISIONS wording follows. Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-10-28 17:17:56 +01:00
glenn schrooyenandClaude	d424b862d8	TARIFF-24 round 2: test_modes_p4 scenarios keep the 0.30 gate they were written for checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 49m18s Details infra-pin / fresh (pull_request) Successful in 1s Details With a forecast read the gap needed is the cycle cost (0.20), not 1.5 x (0.30), so a midday 0.21 gap now plans a grid top-up that four scenarios (sunny, Cheap hours partly, forecast too high, refusal) are not about. They ask for cost 0.30 with the forecast; the no-forecast leg keeps 0.20 (= 0.30 widened). Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-10-28 15:42:50 +01:00
glenn schrooyenandClaude	382b0ea411	TARIFF-24 round 2: a usable solar forecast replaces the "no weather" x1.5 (AUDIT-02 F1) With battery modes on, the price gap a mode needs was always widened x1.5 by Uncertainty.NO_WEATHER, even with a solar forecast read, so a 0.08 day/night gap never traded at the shipped cycle cost. The doubt is now added only when no usable forecast is read (solar_fc is None, the day plan's own test), in the run plan (_price_runs), the charge gate (_mode_roles) and Home's mirror (homeview.trade_verdict). The rule is one helper, arbitrage.weather_uncertainty(); the modes-off trade path (main.py cycle) keeps its literal NO_WEATHER. DOCS "Battery modes" sentence, CHANGELOG 0.19.1 line and the DECISIONS note follow. Tests: test_tariff24_weather.py. Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-10-28 15:08:21 +01:00

glenn schrooyenandClaude	d667f3f3a8	TARIFF-24: battery modes start the tariff task (hotfix 0.19.1) With battery modes on, a day/night or fixed static_profile, no price feed and arbitrage off, tariff_refresh_wanted() was false: no tariff task, no tariff_plan, mode_runs None, so Leftover solar / Cheap hours never charged from the grid and the Batteries screen said "No prices". packmode.enabled(opts) is now a third term of the gate. With price_provider off the task is pure arithmetic on static_profile, so no HTTPS call is added. Also: version 0.19.1, CHANGELOG entry, DECISIONS note, test_tariff24.py, and a shorter tariff_refresh_wanted() docstring (history stays in DECISIONS).

Carries SAFETY-56 (#112), TEL-11 (#113), the CI-9 follow-up (#102) and SEC-2's docs/RELEASE.md (#108), by way of the 0.11.0 cut (#114). NOT A FAST-FORWARD. master was not an ancestor of release/1.0: `0f14c2a`, the pre-SEC-2 direct push, exists only on master. Its tree is the same object as the merge base `b0b24e5` (`c1fef26`), so it carries no content delta, and `git merge-tree --write-tree` over the two branches returns a tree bit-identical to cccb2fa's own (`6670502`). This merge commit therefore contributes exactly release/1.0's tree - master synthesises nothing. Reviewed as the release decision, not a re-review of content. Verified from the remote: slug goodwe_controller and every identity key unchanged (cross-checked against the live box's Supervisor export), version 0.10.1 -> 0.11.0, and the green is this PR's own - run 828 / job 1953, path checks.yml@refs/pull/115/head, PRNUM 115, GRADED refs/pull/115/head merged into master, run_attempt 1, 31 test files all passing in 8m01s of real work. predeploy_check.py re-run against the owner's current options (exported 2026-09-24 20:02, 75 keys, pv_entity unset): CLEARED, exit 0.
