SAFETY-125: a grid charge counts a late meter reading's seconds; the guard row says "over" when it is

A meter reading late near a quarter's end left seconds the projection did
not count (SAFETY-99), and charge_headroom_w() read them as room: the cheap
run (and price trading, and the N=2 maintenance charge) went back to full
power in the quarter's last seconds and the quarter could land over a banked
month peak or the cap. peakguard.charge_room_w() counts those seconds at the
held reading for the charge only; the guard's floor is unchanged.

The guard row said "idle, heading for 5 814 W, under this month's 5 413 W
peak". Over the limit at the current rate the row and the month-peak line
now say so, and that the grid charge is cut back.

Version 0.19.2, CHANGELOG, DECISIONS. test_safety125.py new; the lag pins
in test_price_run_fixes.py and test_opt20.py and the AST pin in
test_arbitrage.py follow the change (see the pull request).

 # Changelog
 
+## 0.19.2
+
+**A patch bump: one fix for charging from the grid under the peak limit, 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 0.19.1 also
+start 0.19.2. The change below applies with one inverter or two.
+
+**Charging from the grid now stays under this month's peak.** When a meter reading came late near the end of a 15-minute period, a grid charge could go back to full power and push that period over the peak; now it is cut back. The peak guard line no longer says "under" when the period is over the limit at the current rate.

+|---|---|
+| `SAFETY-125` | A grid charge (a battery mode's cheap run, price trading or the maintenance charge at two inverters) counts the seconds since a late meter reading at that reading, so it is cut back near the end of a 15-minute period instead of going back to full power. Over the limit at the current rate, the peak guard row and the month peak line say so, and that the grid charge is cut back ([[SAFETY-125]]). |

+
+The list under `## 0.19.0` below still applies. The SAFETY-99 line there now
+covers the guard's discharge only, not a grid charge.

+**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). |

+A grid charge is sized by `peakguard.charge_room_w()`, the guard's headroom
+with the seconds since a late meter reading counted at that reading (the
+projection leaves them out, SAFETY-99, the bill does not), and the guard's own

+# 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.

-    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

+Battery modes on, a day/night `static_profile`, no price feed and the site trade
+switch off used to start no tariff task: `Controller.tariff_plan` stayed None,
+`mode_runs` stayed None, Leftover solar and Cheap hours never charged from the
+grid, and the Batteries screen said "No prices" while Home priced the day from
+the profile itself. DECISIONS/TARIFF-24-modes-need-the-tariff-task.md.
+
+1. The startup gate: `tariff_refresh_wanted()` by configuration, and the guard
+   `amain()` really puts on the task (read from its source, not retyped).
+2. End to end, on the real Controller and the real `run_tariff_refresh()` task,
+   started only if `amain()`'s own guard says so: night period, one battery
+   Leftover solar and one Cheap hours.
+3. The same with a gap below the cycle cost.
+4. Home and the Batteries screen agree.
+5. UX-55: with every battery Solar first Home no longer says "no prices have
+   arrived" on a static profile, and still does with no profile and no feed.
+6. Nothing else moved: modes off starts no task; the gate rows in part 1 keep
+   the arbitrage and feed cases as before.
+
+Mutations (MUTATION.md, purged copies, graded over this file): the gate
+reverted to `provider or arbitrage` fails 18 checks in parts 1 to 5; `True`
+fails the modes-off rows; `bool(opts.get(...))` fails the exact-true row;
+dropping the arbitrage term fails the arbitrage rows.

+
+With battery modes on, the price gap a mode needs was always widened x1.5
+(`Uncertainty.NO_WEATHER`) even with a solar forecast read. Now the doubt is
+added only when no usable forecast is read (`arbitrage.weather_uncertainty()`),
+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.
