SAFETY-112 review: grade the waiting flag where hass.py sets it

- a 502 or refused read turns waiting on, the next good read off, and a read timeout never (two mutants survived without this) - the flag changes no write with live readings, not only with 502 ones - the page script's amber dot and batteries-tab banner for "waiting" - DECISIONS: about 5 minutes per start stage, not "at most" Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

+# OPT-17 - the solar forecast from several entities, summed
+
+**Status: for review.** Tests: `test_opt17.py`. Two options added.
+
+A site whose forecast comes as several Home Assistant sensors (one per
+inverter or roof side) had to build a template sensor to sum them. Now each
+day can list them.
+
+## Options
+
+- `pv_forecast_entities` and `pv_forecast_tomorrow_entities`: lists of
+  sensors, default `[]`, the same shape as `pv_entities`.
+- `pv_forecast_entity` and `pv_forecast_tomorrow_entity` are unchanged. An
+  install that uses them needs no edit.
+- **Why new keys, not "string or list" in the old ones.** Measured on
+  Supervisor 2026.08.0 by `tools/supervisor_shape_probe.py` §J, as TEL-12's
+  §G did for `pv_entity`. Declared as a list, each forecast key refuses the
+  string an install already stores (`Invalid list for option
+  'pv_forecast_entity'`), and a `[]` default does not rescue it. The one
+  spelling that takes both, `match(.*)?`, also takes the integer 417 and
+  shows a plain text box, so a second sensor cannot be added in the UI.
+- §J also shows: a 0.17.0 blob validates unchanged with the lists at `[]`;
+  the lists render as repeatable fields; a downgrade drops them and keeps
+  the single keys.
+- `[]` in `options:` is load-bearing, as for `pv_entities`.
+
+## Rules
+
+1. **One key per day.** Setting the single key and the list for the same day
+   is refused at start, with one message: keep the list, clear the single one.
+   The list can hold that entity too. (TEL-12 lets `pv_entities` replace
+   `pv_entity` with a caution row. Here the brief asked for a refusal: a
+   doubled or dropped forecast changes what a battery buys, and no install
+   has both keys yet, so the refusal breaks nothing.)
+2. **Each member in its own unit.** Every member is read as one forecast
+   sensor is today (`solarfc._day()`): Wh, kWh or MWh, never guessed. Then the
+   day's kWh are added up. A repeated id counts once.
+3. **One member not usable means the day is not usable.** Missing,
+   unavailable, unknown, stale, not an energy unit, or a bad number: that
+   day's sum is not used, exactly as when the single sensor reads that way.
+   No today means no forecast (P3 option A). No tomorrow means today only.
+4. **Hourly split.** If every member has a split, the splits are joined
+   (overlapping periods add up). If any member has none, the sum is spread
+   over the bell, as for a state-only sensor.
+5. **Time.** The forecast is as old as its oldest member.
+6. **One read.** All members of both days are read in one gather, inside the
+   gather that reads the inverters, so a slow sensor does not delay control.
+7. **Shown and logged once.** With two or more members, each one not usable
+   is named on the status page by its place in the list (STYLE.md: no entity
+   ids on the page), as a caution row titled "Solar forecast" on Home. The
+   action log names the entity id, once when the set of failing members
+   changes.
+8. **One member is the single key.** A one-member list reads, plans, shows
+   and logs exactly as the single key with that entity.
+
+## Why
+
+- A partial sum is a smaller number that looks real. Two of three inverters'
+  forecasts read as a duller day, and Leftover solar would then buy grid
+  energy the sun was going to give. TEL-12 took the same rule for the same
+  reason. No forecast is a known state with a tested fallback.
+- The bell for a mixed list: joining one member's hours with another's total
+  has no honest shape, and the bell is the existing state-only rule.
+
+## Cost
+
+- One flaky member costs the whole day's forecast. A site with three
+  sensors loses the plan more often than one with a template sum that hides
+  gaps.
+- Two more options (85).
+
+## What this does not cover
+
+- No weighting or calibration per member; FCST-01 is still the own forecast.
+- Members on different integrations with different refresh times: each must
+  be fresh (3 h) on its own; there is no wait for a lagging one.
+- The day plan itself, the trust and the house profile are unchanged.
+- The Batteries screen still says only "no solar forecast now". The member
+  is named on the status page.

+# SAFETY-112 - control waits for Home Assistant to finish starting
+
+**Status: for review.** Tests: `test_safety112.py`, `test_messages.py`.
+Control is unchanged. The add-on now says plainly that it is waiting.
+
+## Cause
+
+The Supervisor's proxy refuses every add-on request with 502 until Core's
+state is `RUNNING`. The add-on reads every battery reading and writes every
+power request through that proxy, so it cannot control until then. Readings
+that are already live inside Home Assistant do not help.
+
+Source, Supervisor 2026.08.0 (the image the live site ran at CFG-04):
+
+- `supervisor/api/proxy.py`, `APIProxy.api()` (REST, used for reads and
+  `number.set_value`) and `APIProxy.websocket()` both start with
+  `if not await self.sys_homeassistant.api.check_api_state(): raise HTTPBadGateway`.
+- `supervisor/homeassistant/api.py`, `check_api_state()` returns
+  `state.core_state == "RUNNING" or state.offline_db_migration`. The state
+  comes from Core's `/api/core/state`.
+- Upstream `main` has the same gate in both handlers (read 2026-10-13).
+- A Core restart restarts only the Core container
+  (`homeassistant/core.py`, `restart()`). The add-on keeps running.
+
+The add-on itself has no wait. Nothing in `app/` reads Core's state or waits
+for an event. The loop reads its inputs every second, a 502 gives `None`,
+and missing inputs give 0 W. P1 backoff is not involved: the live site reads
+the meter straight from the HomeWizard (`homewizard_local`), not through Home
+Assistant.
+
+## Measured
+
+Repro stack `safety112-*`, all removed afterwards:
+
+- Home Assistant 2026.9.4, as live.
+- A test integration whose `async_setup` sleeps, so Core stays `NOT_RUNNING`.
+- A fake meter and two fake inverters that update every 2 s from load.
+- The Supervisor's own `APIProxy` and `HomeAssistantAPI` from the 2026.08.0
+  image. Only the add-on token lookup, Core's access token and the container
+  check are stubbed.
+- The add-on on `meter_source: homewizard_local` against a fake HomeWizard.
+
+Times are seconds after `docker restart` of Home Assistant:
+
+| run | Core `NOT_RUNNING` | entities live in HA | Core `RUNNING` | proxy 502 | first write | wait from live readings |
+|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
+| base 3050fa5, N=2 | 13.1 | 17.1 | 253.1 | 0.9-252.7 (1 132 requests) | 254.7 | 237.6 |
+| base 3050fa5, N=1 | 13.1 | 18.1 | 256.1 | 1.5-255.1 (573 requests) | 257.2 | 239.1 |
+| this change, N=2 | 12.2 | 17.2 | 313.2 | 1.4-312.5 (1 406 requests) | 317.6 | 300.4 |
+| this change, N=1 | 12.2 | 17.2 | 255.2 | 1.2-254.1 (571 requests) | 257.1 | 240.0 |
+
+The first write comes 1.0-4.4 s after `RUNNING`, so the whole wait is the
+proxy's. With a 400 s sleep Core moved on at 300.88 s on its own (bootstrap's
+stage timeout), so one slow integration holds a start stage for about 5
+minutes. The whole start can take longer: the live one took 414 s.
+
+Before this change the page said "Not ready — Battery level: no usable
+reading", which sends the reader to Developer Tools for an entity that is
+fine.
+
+## Rule
+
+1. No way around the Supervisor. The add-on still talks to Home Assistant
+   only through the proxy.
+2. While the proxy does not answer on the API (`hass.OUTAGE.waiting()`), the
+   first status row is red: "Home Assistant is not answering, perhaps it is
+   still starting. Control resumes by itself when it answers." The banner
+   reads "Not ready — Waiting for Home Assistant to finish starting". The Home
+   pill reads "Waiting for Home Assistant", in English and Dutch.
+3. A safety stop, a stalled control loop or shadow mode keeps its own banner
+   and state over the wait, because none of them clears by itself.
+4. The log has one WARNING when Home Assistant stops answering, an INFO line
+   every 5 minutes while it is down, and an INFO line with the length of the
+   wait when it answers again.
+5. Only the API counts. The meter websocket alone does not, because the meter
+   has its own row.
+
+## Why it is safe
+
+The change is text only. `cycle()`, the writes, the heartbeat, the stand-down
+on shutdown and every watchdog are untouched. `test_safety112.py` part 3 shows
+the same targets and writes with the flag on and off, for N=1 and N=2.
+
+## Open, for the owner
+
+The add-on cannot control while Home Assistant starts. These ways around it
+were not taken:
+
+- **Talk to Core directly with a long-lived token** (`http://homeassistant:8123`).
+  Core's own API answers while `NOT_RUNNING`. In the repro `/api/core/state`
+  answered from 12-13 s, and a direct `number.set_value` 10 s into
+  `NOT_RUNNING` returned 200 and set the value. The cost is a secret stored
+  at every client site, which `hass.py` exists to avoid.
+- **Talk to the control board directly** (ESPHome native API), so control
+  does not need Home Assistant at all. This is a large change.
+- **Remove the slow start at the site.** On 2026-10-12 the Solis
+  integration's discovery held the start. Fixing or disabling it shortens the
+  wait there, but not on a client site with another slow integration.

+"""SAFETY-112: waiting for Home Assistant to finish starting.  `python3 -B test_safety112.py`
+
+The Supervisor answers 502 to every add-on read, write and websocket until
+Home Assistant is RUNNING (DECISIONS/SAFETY-112-waiting-for-home-assistant.md),
+so the add-on cannot control then. This file grades what it says meanwhile:
+
+1. The log: one WARNING when Home Assistant stops answering, one INFO line
+   every 5 minutes while it stays down, one INFO line with the wait when it
+   answers again. Only the API channel counts as "waiting": a 502 or a
+   refused connection turns it on, the next good read off, a timeout never.
+2. The status page, N=1 and N=2: the waiting row is first and red, and is the
+   banner. Home says "Waiting for Home Assistant" in English and Dutch, not
+   "Needs you now", unless a safety stop outranks it. The page script has it.
+3. Control is unchanged: the same readings give the same writes with the
+   waiting flag on or off, with 502 readings and with live ones.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5	df6bc0f76b	SAFETY-112 review: grade the waiting flag where hass.py sets it checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 36m27s Details infra-pin / fresh (pull_request) Successful in 1s Details - a 502 or refused read turns waiting on, the next good read off, and a read timeout never (two mutants survived without this) - the flag changes no write with live readings, not only with 502 ones - the page script's amber dot and batteries-tab banner for "waiting" - DECISIONS: about 5 minutes per start stage, not "at most" Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-10-13 02:10:27 +02:00
adminandClaude Opus 5.5	d94cb0c263	SAFETY-112: say plainly that control waits for Home Assistant to start checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 36m38s Details infra-pin / fresh (pull_request) Successful in 2s Details The Supervisor proxy answers 502 to every add-on read, write and websocket until Core is RUNNING (proxy.py api()/websocket() -> check_api_state()), so the add-on cannot control while a slow integration holds HA's start, even with its entities live. Measured on a safety112 repro stack with the 2026.08.0 proxy code: first write 1.0-4.4 s after RUNNING, 238-300 s after live readings. Not routed around (DECISIONS/SAFETY-112-...). While the API does not answer, the first status row is red and is the banner ("Waiting for Home Assistant to finish starting"), Home shows a "waiting" state in EN/NL instead of "Needs you now", and the log adds a "still waiting" line every 5 minutes and the wait's length at the end. A safety stop, a stalled loop or shadow mode keeps its own headline. Control, writes, heartbeat and the stand-down are unchanged.

admin	3050fa5208	OPT-17: the solar forecast can come from several entities, summed (#187 ) infra-pin / fresh (push) Successful in 1s Details	2026-10-11 05:49:37 +02:00
adminandClaude Opus 5.5	92a80c09b2	OPT-17 review: title the forecast row on Home; test the hint and blank rows checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 36m20s Details infra-pin / fresh (pull_request) Successful in 2s Details The new status row's id `solar_forecast` had no Home title, so Home showed it under the fallback "Inverter connection". Add "Solar forecast" / "Zonneprognose" to ui_text, and checks for the title, the tomorrow-gap hint and blank list rows (review mutations R7, R9, R14 now killed).

glenn schrooyenandClaude Opus 5.5	9b1fa758ad	OPT-17: the solar forecast can come from several entities, summed checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 36m13s Details infra-pin / fresh (pull_request) Successful in 1s Details New list options pv_forecast_entities and pv_forecast_tomorrow_entities (same shape as pv_entities); the single-entity keys are unchanged. - Each member is read in its own unit (Wh/kWh/MWh) in one gather and the day is summed. Hourly splits are merged when every member has one, else the total goes on the bell. - A member missing, unavailable, stale, non-energy or bad makes that day's forecast unusable (no partial sum). A caution row names it by position; the action log names the entity once per change. - Single key and list both set for one day: refused at start. - A one-member list behaves exactly like the single key (test_opt17.py); the single-key path is byte-identical to `e36565f` over 24 scenarios. - Supervisor shape measured: tools/supervisor_shape_probe.py section J. DECISIONS/OPT-17-several-forecast-entities.md has the rules.
