DOC-8: say EMS port, not meter bus
The add-on is wired to the inverter's RS485 port labelled EMS. Reword
README, DOCS, config description, field guide source and HTML. The HA
manufacturer string is left unchanged: test_mqtt pins it byte for byte.

# ⚠️ EMPTY IS NOT "UNCONFIGURED", IT IS THE SINGLE-INVERTER CONFIGURATION, and
# it is what every install that upgrades into this version lands on. An empty
# list means THE SIX FLAT KEYS - `setpoint_entity`, `soc_entity`,
# `batt_entity`, `batt_invert`, `max_w` and `bms_soc_floor` - DESCRIBE THE
# ONE INVERTER: same entities, same rating, same behaviour, no operator
# action, which is the only migration story this key was allowed to have.
# `build_roster()` reads this and nothing else decides the shape.
#
# Declared, it REPLACES those six keys rather than extending them. Each entry
# names its own actuator, its own rating and its own sensors:
#
# inverters:
# - name: inverter-a
# setpoint_entity: number.goodwe_a_setpoint_w
# soc_entity: sensor.goodwe_a_soc
# batt_entity: sensor.goodwe_a_battery_power
# max_w: 5000
# bms_soc_floor: 10
# - name: inverter-b
# setpoint_entity: number.goodwe_b_setpoint_w
# soc_entity: sensor.goodwe_b_soc
# batt_entity: sensor.goodwe_b_battery_power
# max_w: 4600
# bms_soc_floor: 10
#
# ⚠️ THE 4600 IS INVERTER B'S DATASHEET FIGURE, NOT A MEASUREMENT AND NOT A
# PLACEHOLDER. SPIKE-04a (2026-09-04) identified B as a GoodWe GW5048D-ES,
# serial `55048ESU22AW0992`, whose datasheet gives Max. Charging / Discharging
# Power as 4600 W; nothing will be connected to its MPPTs, so the battery path
# is the ceiling and the 5000 VA AC nameplate is not. The 3000 W this example
# used to carry was a guess made before the unit was known. ⚠️ It is STILL not
# measured: the datasheet prints 4600 W under BATTERY INPUT DATA, so it may be
# DC, and `max_w` is graded against 0x0518 - the inverter's own AC power. If it
# is DC the AC ceiling is nearer 4324 W. SAFETY-20's `min(max_w, dev_max)` is
# what settles that once the device range is read; see goodwe/NOTES.md §1.1b,
# which records both readings and picks neither.
#
# ⚠️ AND THE `bms_soc_floor: 10` BESIDE IT IS FROM THE SAME PLACE - THE
# DATASHEET AND THE SERIAL, NOT A PACK ANYONE HAS READ. No second inverter
# exists on this site (SPIKE-04, ≈ 2026-09-12 for B); the cut-out must be read
# off the pack that is actually installed (register 0x0560 on the reference
# unit) before that pack is commanded. It reads 10 here because pack A reads
# 10, which makes this example DEGENERATE ON THE FLOOR AXIS: a site whose two
# packs floor at the SAME percent cannot separate `min`, `max`, first or last
# over the roster, and every SAFETY-32 fixture that DIFFERS the floors differs
# it for exactly that reason. Do not "simplify" those fixtures to match this
# example.
#
# ⚠️ NOTHING IS INHERITED FROM THE FLAT KEYS BY AN ENTRY THAT OMITS IT, and
# that is the whole of DEV-02 restated as a config rule. `soc`, `batt` and the
# rating became per-instance precisely so that no inverter is ever graded
# against a sibling's numbers; an entry silently inheriting `soc_entity` would
# rebuild that defect in YAML. `name`, `setpoint_entity`, `max_w` and
# `bms_soc_floor` are therefore REQUIRED of every entry (the schema below enforces it, and
# validate.py rules 8 and 9 enforce it again for the callers the Supervisor never
# sees). An omitted `soc_entity`/`batt_entity` means THIS UNIT HAS NO SUCH
# SENSOR - `inputs_ok` already stops the site for that - and never means
# "use the other one's".
#
# ⚠️ SAFETY-32: `bms_soc_floor` IS PER ENTRY AND IS REQUIRED, NOT DEFAULTED.
# It is the percent THAT pack's own BMS cuts out at, and two batteries of
# different models do not share one. A default would be this add-on inventing
# a cut-out for a battery it has not been told about, which is the same defect
# as inheriting one: the shallower pack gets protected by a floor that belongs
# to the deeper pack, and validate.py rule 8 - which refuses a peak_soc_floor
# the BMS would win against - would be grading the wrong number. Rule 8 grades
# EVERY entry and names the one it refuses. The flat key below is unchanged and
# is the single-inverter shape's own cut-out.
#
# ⚠️ OPT-09: `capacity_kwh` IS PER ENTRY AND IS OPTIONAL, WHICH IS THE
# OPPOSITE CHOICE TO `bms_soc_floor` ABOVE AND IS MADE FOR THE SAME REASON.
# It is THAT pack's usable capacity in kWh, and it is read for exactly one
# purpose: weighting the SPLIT of the site target between packs by ENERGY
# headroom rather than by power rating. The two packs here are asymmetric in
# OPPOSITE directions - 5000 W / 15.36 kWh against 4600 W / 20.48 kWh, from
# the datasheet and the serials - so a split by rating and a split by energy
# hand the work to DIFFERENT packs, and the energy one is the question ("which
# pack can sustain its share for the hour"). A missing cut-out would have to be
# DEFAULTED, and one default for two batteries protects the shallower pack with
# the deeper pack's number; a missing capacity has an honest answer instead -
# this add-on then has NO OPINION about the split and every unit weighs 1.0,
# which is exactly what shipped before this card. ⚠️ IT IS ALL OR NOTHING
# ACROSS THE ROSTER: state it on every entry or on none, because a pack
# weighted in kWh against a sibling weighing a dimensionless 1.0 is not a
# comparison. There is deliberately NO flat `capacity_kwh` - at one inverter
# there is no split to weight, so the key would be one an operator can set and
# nothing reads.
#
# ⚠️ AND THE FLAT `setpoint_entity` MUST THEN BE BLANK. Leaving it set while a
# roster is declared is two config sites aimed at actuators, one of which
# nothing writes; if it names an entity an entry also names, SAFETY-28's
# writer census refuses it as two writers on one actuator, and if it names a
# different one the add-on would run a site quietly smaller than the config
# reads. Rule 9 refuses both rather than picking one.
#
# ⚠️ THE SHAPE WAS MEASURED, NOT ASSUMED. A list of objects is not used
# anywhere else in this file, and whether Supervisor's options validator
# accepts one was an open question - `static_profile` carries its structure as
# a JSON string in a `str?` for exactly that doubt. It was settled by running
# Supervisor 2026.08.0's OWN `AppOptions` validator (the version this site
# runs) against both candidates: tools/supervisor_shape_probe.py is the
# script, DECISIONS/CFG-04-inverter-roster.md is what it printed and why the
# list won. The default `[]` is load-bearing in that record: WITHOUT it the
# validator answers `Missing option 'inverters' in root` for every existing
# options blob, and the upgrade leaves an add-on that cannot start.

#
# ⚠️ AN HA ENTITY AND NOT A REGISTER, BECAUSE MOST SOLAR INVERTERS ARE NOT ON
# THIS BUS. The RS485 bus this add-on speaks carries the BATTERY inverter it
# drives; a household's PV inverter is normally a different box from a

# So this takes whatever `sensor.*` the site's PV integration provides, any

#
# ⚠️ THE ENTITY'S OWN `unit_of_measurement` IS WHAT IS BELIEVED - W, kW, MW
# and the rest of Home Assistant's power units. A sensor with no unit, or with
# a unit that is not power, is REFUSED and the status page says which: there
# is no magnitude heuristic that can tell 30 W of dusk from 30 kW of noon, and
# a factor of 1000 in the one channel that exists to be believed a week later
# is worse than a refusal an operator can read.
pv_entity: ""
# TEL-12 - THE SAME CHANNEL WHEN THE ROOF HAS SEVERAL INVERTERS, WHICH IS THE
# ORDINARY CASE AND NOT AN EDGE ONE. A multi-string or multi-orientation roof
# routinely carries two or three PV inverters, each publishing its own power
# sensor; 0.11.0 shipped `pv_entity` as a single string and the reference
# site's owner reported within minutes that they could configure one of
# theirs. List them all here and the row carries the SITE total.
#
# ⚠️ DECLARED, THIS REPLACES `pv_entity` - it does not extend it. Set both and
# ONLY this list is read, and the status page says so. That is CFG-04's rule
# for `inverters:` applied to the upgrade path this key exists for: the
# install being upgraded HAS `pv_entity` set, and an operator who adds all
# their inverters to this list while the old key still names one of them would
# DOUBLE that inverter under a union rule. Clear `pv_entity` when you fill
# this in.
#
# ⚠️ AND IF ANY ONE OF THEM IS NOT REPORTING, THERE IS NO SITE TOTAL - the row
# publishes `unknown` and the recorder records a GAP. It does NOT publish the
# sum of the ones that answered: two of three inverters add up to a smaller
# number that is indistinguishable from a real one, and a week later that
# reads as "there was less sun than there was" - the exact conclusion this
# channel exists to TEST rather than to manufacture. The status page names
# which entity is missing and why, and lists what the others reported, because
# a human reading it live wants the diagnostic; the recorded number does not,
# because nobody re-derives a week of history. See
# DECISIONS/TEL-12-several-pv-inverters.md.
#
# ⚠️ THE FIX IS NOT A TEMPLATE SENSOR THAT SUMS THEM. You may legitimately
# prefer one, but a template sensor summing an `unavailable` source yields the
# partial total silently - the same defect one layer down, in a place this
# add-on cannot see or report.

# The peak guard can COMMAND a discharge to hold a billed quarter under
# peak_cap_w. Until this card it was bounded from below by nothing but the
# pack's own BMS cut-out - a real floor, but the PACK's protection rather than
# the OPERATOR's. On the 2026-08-20 replay the guard asks for 878 Wh in a day.
#
# peak_soc_floor is the percent below which that discharge is not sized. When
# it binds the guard reports FLOOR-LIMITED, keeps charging blocked (a 0 W
# floor), and the add-on raises ONE notification saying the quarter will be
# exceeded - failing to shave is never silent, because the euro figure is the
# whole point of the guard.
#
# ⚠️ THIS IS NOT maintenance_soc_floor AND MUST NOT BE MERGED WITH IT.
# maintenance_soc_floor is the DRAIN TARGET of the monthly recalibration: the
# depth the cycle deliberately goes to, once a month, on purpose. This is the
# depth a money-saving discharge may never reach on any day. The right values
# differ, and sharing one key would couple two features that want to move
# independently.
#
# ⚠️ 20 IS DERIVED, NOT PICKED. The reference pack is 13.8 kWh usable and the
# worst modelled guard day is 878 Wh, i.e. 6.4 % - so 10 points above the
# pack's own cut-out leaves the guard ~1.6 of its worst observed days of room
# and still never reaches the BMS.
#
# ⚠️⚠️ SAFETY-25 - WHAT THIS DOES NOT BOUND, AND IT IS THE HALF THE NAME HIDES.
# peak_soc_floor BOUNDS THE PEAK GUARD ONLY. IT IS NOT A PACK-WIDE RESERVE.
# Ordinary self-consumption - the grid-following loop that holds the meter at
# zero - has no SoC floor of any kind, so on a sustained-load evening it will
# discharge STRAIGHT PAST this number and go on until the pack's own BMS
# cut-out (bms_soc_floor) stops it. Replayed on the committed 2026-08-20
# capture, 19:00-22:00 UTC: a 13.8 kWh pack starting at 21 % ends the evening
# at 10.0 %, and 343 of 587 control cycles deliver discharge with the pack
# already below this floor. Setting this key higher does not change that by
# one tenth of a percent - the same replay at every value the schema accepts
# (5..60) ends at the same 10.0 %.
#
# The reason is structural, not an oversight: the peak guard files a `lo`
# limit (a LOWER bound on the setpoint), which is what makes it provably
# unable to cap a discharge or contradict the arbiter - and therefore also
# unable to stop one the loop itself wants. See peakguard.py's module note and
# DECISIONS/SAFETY-25-loop-soc-floor.md, which records the options for a
# loop-side reserve and is waiting on the product owner. Until that is
# answered, the BMS is the only floor under self-consumption.

# ⚠️ SELECTING A PROVIDER IS WHAT STARTS THE FETCH, AND IT IS NOT
# `arbitrage_enabled` (TARIFF-10). With a provider set and trading off - the
# shipped default - the add-on fetches the feed every 30 minutes, validates
# it, records the day in /data/price_history.json and reports what it holds
# on the *Price history* status row. It changes NO energy decision: the cheap
# window the maintenance cycle reads still comes from `static_profile`, and
# §10.1's arbitrage is gated on `arbitrage_enabled` alone. Until TARIFF-10
# the fetch was gated on `arbitrage_enabled` too, so this option did nothing
# whatsoever on a shipped install - the store was never even created.

# does not already contain. manual_csv carries an all-in figure, so setting
# either under it is ignored - and logged as ignored, never applied twice.
# `custom_formula` (TARIFF-15) carries energy AND markup - your contract's

# publishes `0,1 x BELPEX-H - 1,188` c EUR/kWh on the same card as its
# consumption formula, ENGIE publishes `(B x eSpot_15) - A`, and Aspiravi

# `vat_pct` here is normally 0. A negative `offset` is expected - it is what
# the published lines carry - and the resulting price legitimately goes below
# zero in the midday hours a PV household exports in.
#
# ⚠️ NO STRATEGY IN THIS ADD-ON READS IT. arbitrage.py prices the sell side
# as displaced IMPORT and compares two all-in CONSUMPTION prices; it does not

# ⚠️ WHY THIS IS NOT COSMETIC. The optimiser reads the SPREAD (max - min) and

# express this. These bands are ANTI-CORRELATED with what the battery wants
# to do (cheap network hours are cheap spot hours), so flattening them
# UNDERSTATES the true spread and declines cycles that would have paid. See

# no plugin and no scraper can ever know YOUR numbers. You are the only party
# who can see them.
#
# A JSON object, on one line. You type what your card prints, IN THE CARD'S
# OWN UNITS; every unit conversion and the VAT multiplication are the

# ⚠️ THE `card` BLOCK IS REQUIRED AND IT IS THE SAFETY MECHANISM. Your card
# prints the formula, the reference index it assumed AND the resulting price.
# At startup the add-on recomputes that printed price from the numbers you
# typed and REFUSES TO START unless the two agree to within 0.01 - naming the
# discrepancy. That catches VAT left out or applied twice, a transposed
# digit, a unit MISMATCH between the coefficients and the printed price
# (10x/100x/1000x), and the expensive one: NETWORK CHARGES FOLDED INTO
# `offset`. A unit error applied to BOTH sides at once cancels out of that
# comparison; the add-on refuses that separately, by checking the card's own
# point against the band a Belgian retail tariff can occupy. Your card's formula line is the ENERGY component
# alone; the add-on adds price_taxes_eur_kwh on top, so folding ~12 c/kWh of
# network charge into `offset` would bill you for it twice - and it cannot
# pass, because it moves the computed 15.55 to about 27.
#
# ⚠️ AND THE LIMIT OF THAT CHECK, IN THE SAME BREATH: it grades your
# COEFFICIENTS AGAINST YOUR CARD, not your card against reality. Two numbers
# copied off the wrong product agree with each other perfectly and pass.
#
# ⚠️ FIXED COEFFICIENTS ONLY - the add-on evaluates NO expression of any kind
# and there is no field that takes one. An unknown key is refused rather than
# ignored. See DOCS.md for why (it is not only security: two coefficients can
# be graded against your card and an arbitrary expression cannot be graded

# was told, while its sibling covers for it and P1 reads exactly what a
# healthy site reads.
#
# At ONE inverter these two keys do nothing at all. §6.2's identity makes the
# site's total command that inverter's command, so the pair above is already

# this file accepts for `gain` and `slew_w`. 250 W is `saturation_w / 2`, so

# law itself already says the inverter is not following; 85 s is 8.5x the
# worst legitimate opposition those runs produce (10.0 s), 2.8x the firmware's
# own 30 s link veto, and under half the 180 s the site check takes. See
# app/watchdog.py's SIGN_OPTION_DEFAULTS and
# DECISIONS/SAFETY-30-per-unit-sign.md.
#

# ⚠️ THE SAME COMPARISON `sign_disagree_*` MAKES, AT THE ROSTER WHERE IT STOPS
# BEING A STATEMENT ABOUT ONE INVERTER. At two or more units the SUM of the
# standing commands is graded against P1, and the trip stops the whole site -
# what it catches is the site being asked for the wrong thing, which every
# per-inverter check is blind to because each unit is faithfully executing its
# share. At ONE inverter these two keys do nothing: `sign_disagree_*` above is
# already asking this of the same actuator.
#
# The threshold is the shipped 300 W, CARRIED, and the reason is that the
# argument behind it does not depend on the roster: near zero the sign is
# noise, the deadband is 15 W, and there is one P1 whatever is behind it.
#
# ⚠️ THE WINDOW IS NOT CARRIED, AND THAT IS A MEASUREMENT. The transient 180 s
# exists to reject is the loop crossing zero after a load reversal, and the
# command has to travel the whole SITE rail at `slew_w` per cycle - a rail
# that is the roster sum while `slew_w` is not. On 1890 two-inverter runs in
# which nothing is faulty, the worst continuous legitimate opposition at 300 W
# is 110 s at one inverter and 215 s at two: carrying 180 s across would have
# shipped a false trip reachable at `gain: 0.05`, `slew_w: 50` and an ordinary
# 2.2 kW load reversal. 325 s is 1.51x that, inside the 900 s billing quarter,

#
# Circulating power is sum(|Bi|) - |sum(Bi)| over MEASURED per-inverter power:

# off and the argument for each. They are NOT sensitivity preferences.
#
# Both are ignored at one inverter, where the quantity is identically zero.

# ⚠️ CFG-03. THIS LINE IS THE SOURCE OF TRUTH FOR THIS DEFAULT, and
# `app/delivery.py`'s `DELIVERY_OPTION_DEFAULTS` is the ONE in-code copy -
# the Dockerfile does not put this file in the image, so the running add-on
# cannot read it. test_delivery.py pins the copy by READING this line, so a
# drift goes red in CI rather than shipping. Two places - options:, schema: -
# plus that one dict, and no fourth.
#
# ⚠️ THERE IS NO `delivery_w` TO GO WITH IT, AND THAT IS DELIBERATE. The watts
# half of this check is `saturation_w`, the option two blocks down, read
# directly: it is already the gap at which the control law itself concludes
# the inverter is not following, and a second key would be a fourth place a
# threshold has to be kept in step and a way for the two to disagree. So
# RAISING `saturation_w` raises this check with it, and test_delivery.py part
# 4b holds that promise by running the same fault at two different
# `saturation_w` values and requiring two different answers - a check that
# only ever ran at 500 could not tell this wiring from a hard-coded number.
#
# How long ONE inverter may stand at a discharge share it is not producing -
# short by more than `saturation_w`, OR short by more than a fixed FRACTION
# of its own share (SAFETY-43; the fraction is derived and is not an option,
# see app/delivery.py) - while at least one sibling is NOT in that state,
# before the add-on names it. It REPORTS: nothing is commanded
# differently, the loop is untouched, and the site goes on running short by
# that unit's share until somebody looks. app/delivery.py carries why, with
# the rig measurements on both sides of the decision.
#
# Ignored at one inverter, where the check is inert by construction: with no
# sibling, "this box cannot deliver" and "this plant cannot deliver" are the
# same observation.
# ⚠️ MEASURED ON THE TEST-19 TWO-MASTER RIG, NOT CHOSEN. 2640 closed-loop runs
# at a roster of two in which nothing was faulty, over 6 gains x 5 slews - the
# whole range this schema accepts - across load reversals, a flapping load and
# ASYMMETRIC SPLITS, plus a roster-of-ONE arm as the control. At the shipped
# threshold the worst CONTINUOUS legitimate episode is 35.0 s (the weighted
# family; 30.0 s on reversals, 0.0 s on flapping, and 0.0 s at every threshold
# in every one-inverter run). 185 s is 5.29x that.
#
# ⚠️ AND THE CAMPAIGN IS RE-RUNNABLE NOW, WHICH IT WAS NOT WHEN THIS NUMBER
# SHIPPED. TEST-21 (2026-09-07) committed the harness to the OTHER repository,
# `admin/goodwe:sim/delivery_window.py` - it imports plantsim and frame_check,
# which that repo owns. From clean checkouts of both, side by side:
#
# cd goodwe/sim && GOODWE_ADDON_REPO=/path/to/goodwe-addon \
# python3 -B delivery_window.py --selftest --campaign --blag
#
# ⚠️ THE ORIGINAL RECORD SAID 30.0 s AND IT DID NOT REPRODUCE - the re-run
# says 35.0 s. 185 s still clears all four bounds and is unchanged; what
# changed is the claim. DECISIONS/SAFETY-42-unit-delivery.md §3.3 carries both
# tables and what did and did not reproduce.
#
# ⚠️ AND THE MARGIN IS A SENSITIVITY STUDY ON A HYPOTHESIS, NOT A MEASUREMENT,
# BECAUSE INVERTER B DOES NOT PHYSICALLY EXIST (~2026-09-12). The rig's B is A
# COPIED. Sweeping a DIFFERENT second unit through that campaign: the worst
# legitimate episode barely moves with B's ramp (35.0 s at half A's ramp) and
# scales with its LAG - 45.0 s at twice A's measured 10 s lag, 75.0 s at four
# times it. 185 s is 2.47x even the four-times-slower case. NO NUMBER HERE IS
# A MEASUREMENT OF INVERTER B.
#
# DELIBERATELY NOT 180 - that is SAFETY-02's site hold and this is not it -
# and not 150 or 200. 37 control cycles.
delivery_hold_s: 185
# SAFETY-10. Run the whole decision path and command NOTHING - strategies,
# arbiter, clamps and guards all run, the decision and its reason are
# recorded, and every inverter is held at 0 W. `app/shadow.py` carries the
# argument; the three things to know before changing this line are:
#
# auto shadow WHILE CONTROL IS STOPPED, live once it is started. This is
# the shipped value and it is what "default-on" means here.
# on always shadow, whatever the Start / stop button says. This is the
# one an operator picks to watch a day of decisions on an armed site
# before letting it trade.
# off ordinary control.
#
# ⚠️ IT IS NOT A BOOLEAN DEFAULTING TO `true`, AND THAT IS THE WHOLE CARD.
# The Supervisor composes an add-on's options as `{**these defaults, **the
# stored user options}`, so a NEW key with a new default reaches every
# EXISTING install on the next update - including one regulating a real
# battery. `shadow_mode: true` would silently stop it, and the only symptom
# would be a battery that has stopped doing anything. There is no mechanism
# in this options system that lets one key default differently for a new
# install and an existing one, so "default-on for new" has to be a value the
# add-on RESOLVES. `auto` is that value: a fresh install ships
# `auto_start: false` and therefore comes up in shadow mode; an install that
# is controlling is started, so `auto` resolves to live and NOTHING about it
# changes.
#
# ⚠️ AND UNDER `auto` THE START BUTTON LEAVES SHADOW MODE. Pressing *Start /
# stop control* is the operator saying "control the battery". Somebody who
# wants the decisions recorded WHILE the loop runs sets `on` explicitly -
# which is the configuration this option exists for, and the one that cannot
# be reached by accident.

# ⚠️ SAFETY-39. 0 IS NOT "UNSET" AND IT IS NOT "NO LIMIT" - IT IS "FOLLOW THE
# RAIL", and it is the shipped value. `control.slew_limit_w()` resolves it to
# `SLEW_RAIL_FRAC * max_w`, which is 222 W against the 2000 W default here,
# 556 W against the live install's 5000 W, and 1067 W against the ~9600 W a
# second inverter makes of the site. `integrator_max_w: 0` two lines down has
# meant exactly this since it was added; this key now means it too.
#
# ⚠️ WHY IT IS A RATIO AND NOT A NUMBER, WHICH IS THE WHOLE OF THIS CARD. It
# WAS a number: 1000, derived 2026-08-22 against a clamp of 1500 W
# (goodwe/NOTES.md, "Simulated 2 kW load step (gain 0.6, clamp 1500)") on the
# grounds that it caps "how far the loop can jump ahead of the inverter". The
# rail then went to 5000 on the live install and the constant did not move, so
# 1000 W per 2 s tick crossed the whole output range in 10 s against a plant
# NOTES.md §5.10 measured at ~18 s up / ~23 s down. Measured on the owner's
# system 2026-09-05 11:43-11:46: a 3.4 kW export drove the setpoint 380 -> 5000
# in five ticks, the battery to -5154 W past a 5000 VA rating, and the grid
# from 3.4 kW of EXPORT to 2.8 kW of IMPORT. Large (>= 900 W) steps per 30 min
# went 2 -> 1 -> 13 -> 43 that morning. Nothing was broken; the rail moved.
#
# An explicit number is still accepted and is not clamped - the live install
# has run 400 since 2026-09-05 12:00, which is slower than the rail implies
# and is fine. What validate.py rule 10 refuses is a number FASTER than the
# rail implies, because at that setting the stated limit is not the limit and
# the layer that overrules it is the plant, which has no status row.
#
# ⚠️ AND THE COST IS REAL AND IS NOT HIDDEN: following the rail is slower to
# converge than 1000 was. Measured over 51 export steps on the in-repo model
# (test_control.py) the largest tick step falls from 1000 W to 556 W and the
# >= 900 W step disappears from every run - but the OVER-ABSORPTION does not
# move, because that is a `gain` term and not a slew term. See

# and the reference site has a string persisted in it. Declared as a list,
# Supervisor 2026.08.0 answers that stored string with
#
# Invalid list for option 'pv_entity' in GoodWe RS485 Controller
#
# and `deepmerge`'s list strategy is `override`, so a shipped `[]` default does
# NOT rescue it - the operator's string stands and is refused. That is CFG-04
# §B's trap in the other direction: an add-on that will not start, and the
# schema needed to fix it pinned to the version that cannot be installed. The
# only single-key spelling Supervisor accepts for BOTH shapes is `match(.*)?`,
# which validates nothing at all (it admits a number, a dict, any list of
# anything) and renders as a plain text box. Measured, both of them, by

# 'pv_entities' in root`, which is every options blob written before 0.12.

# ⚠️ The provider list is written out rather than left as `str`, so the

# Adding a plugin means adding it here and to PROVIDERS - and nowhere else,
# which is AC2.
#
# ⚠️ THREE OF THESE FIVE IDS NO LONGER RESOLVE TO A PLUGIN, AND LEAVING THEM
# HERE IS A DECISION (TARIFF-07). engie_dynamic, totalenergies_dynamic and
# eneco_eddy were withdrawn - their endpoints do not exist and never did - and
# the obvious edit is to delete them from this line too. DO NOT. The Supervisor
# validates the options file against this schema BEFORE the add-on starts, so
# an id that is not listed here makes an EXISTING config schema-invalid: the
# operator gets an opaque "expected one of ..." from the Supervisor, the add-on
# never runs, and validate.py's retired-id refusal - the message that tells
# them their prices never worked and what to do instead - IS NEVER REACHED, on
# exactly the sites that need it. Schema tightness would cost the only thing
# this withdrawal is FOR.
#
# The cost of keeping them is that the dropdown still offers three dead ids to
# a NEW operator. That is the cheaper failure: choosing one is refused at the
# next startup by name, with the endpoint, the observation and the alternative
# - which is strictly more than a typo-shaped schema rejection would say. Both
# translations label them withdrawn in the option description as well.
