SAFETY-85 review: grade discharge only, over the plant's settle time
Rule 2 graded each battery against last cycle's command and graded charges
too. On plantsim's battery (10 s lag) at the 2 s meter it warned at every
drain or charge start and 15 times an hour under the peak guard at N=2; a
charge tapering near full warned 11 times in 50 min (SAFETY-42 section 7).
Now a discharge is graded against the least it stood at over SHORT_CYCLES /
SHORT_SPAN_S. DOCS lists `mode-bound` under Loop reason. test_safety85 part 7:
peak guard with a dead battery, lagging plant, taper; part 3: the bound ends
with maintenance.

"""SAFETY-03 - the output clamp, and the alarm that makes it audible.
WHAT IT CATCHES, in one sentence: a control law that computes a setpoint the
actuator cannot deliver, which every layer below it will happily clip to
something legal-looking while the thing that produced it goes on winding.
THE CLAMP IS NOT THE DELIVERABLE. specs.md 10.3 is explicit that this project
already clipped, and that the clipping is what hid the defect:
with the inverter switched off entirely, an unclamped integrator climbed
~130 W per 4 s to over 10 kW and, pinned at the 5 kW rail, reported
14 768 W
A clamp alone turns that into a silent, perfectly flat 5000 W hold. Every
dashboard reads "commanded 5000 W", which is a legal number, and nothing
anywhere says the loop asked for three times it. 11.2's watchdog row says
"Clamp AND ALARM - the loop is winding"; the second verb is this module.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT "THE RATING" IS HERE, AND WHY IT IS ONE NUMBER AND NOT A MIN()
The card names two bounds and warns against choosing between them:
- `DriverCapabilities.setpoint_limit_w` (3.2), the inverter's own magnitude
rating. In this add-on that arrives as the setpoint entity's `min`/`max`
from `hass.limits()` - `Controller.dev_min` / `dev_max`.
- `optimizer.loop.clamp_w` (14), the configured loop clamp. In this add-on
that is the `max_w` option, which `Tuning.max_w` and the arbiter's
`supervised` limit both already use.
14 says these two must AGREE, validated at startup with a refusal on
mismatch - and that gate already ships: `validate_startup_config()` refuses
`max_w > dev_max` and `-max_w < dev_min` (validate.py, problem 1), and
run_control() re-runs it once ESPHome is up and the real rating is known.
So this guard clamps to `max_w`, THE VALIDATED VALUE, and does not `min()` it
with the device rating at runtime. That is the card's instruction and it is also
the only reading that keeps `max_w` meaningful: a silent runtime `min()` is
precisely the "helper bounded to +-500 W under a loop clamped to 1500 W" failure
the 14 warning box is about.
WARNING - THE DEVICE BOUND IS STILL APPLIED, SECOND, AND IT IS NOT REDUNDANT.
After a successful validation `+-max_w` lies inside `[dev_min, dev_max]`, so the
second stage is arithmetically a no-op and can never engage. If it DOES engage,
the validation did not run or no longer holds - `hass.limits()` returns
(None, None) whenever ESPHome is not up yet, and the range checks are skipped
rather than guessed at - and that is a louder fault than the first stage, not a
quieter one. It therefore alarms too, through the same channel, with the bound
named.
⚠️ SAFETY-20 UPDATED THE SECOND HALF OF THAT SENTENCE. It used to read "this is
NOT SAFETY-20; nothing here changes what `freeze.py` measures its rail against",
and that was true of this module and false of the system: this stage is exactly
what clips the emitted command below `RAIL_FRAC * max_w`, which is how a device
rating disarmed the freeze detector while the page said `armed`. `freeze.py` now
takes `dev_min`/`dev_max` and measures its rail against
`min(max_w, |dev_min|, |dev_max|)`. THE CLAMP ITSELF IS UNCHANGED - it still
clamps to `max_w` first and to the device range second, for the reasons above,
and it still does not `min()` the two. What changed is only that the detector
downstream now knows this stage exists.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHERE THE WIND ACTUALLY SHOWS UP - READ THIS BEFORE "SIMPLIFYING" THE CALLER
`control.compute()` bounds the integrator to `integrator_max_w or max_w` and
THEN derives the command from it, so on a default install (`integrator_max_w`
unset, i.e. following `max_w`) the command can never exceed `max_w` and the
actuator-side clamp below IS UNREACHABLE. control.py says so in as many words:
SAFETY-03 ... must watch for THIS, not for "clamped" below.
An alarm wired only to this module's `ClampResult.engaged` would therefore be
silent on the exact configuration the whole ticket is about. The winding is
visible one layer up, at the integrator bound, and that is why `Decision` now
carries `i_clamped` / `clamped` BOOLEANS and the caller ORs them in here.
They alarm in different words: see `loop_clamp_note()` (SAFETY-40).
AND WHY BOOLEANS RATHER THAN `Decision.reason`. `reason` is a single string that
later stages overwrite: a cycle that clamps the integrator and is then slew
limited reports "slew-limited", and one that clamps while saturated reports
"saturated-freeze". Both are exactly the winding-into-a-rail case, and on the
string the clamp signal is destroyed before anything can alarm on it. The two
flags are set where the clamp happens and are never overwritten. A check in
test_clamp.py drives that precise combination.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DISTINCT FROM SATURATION - THIS IS ACCEPTANCE CRITERION 2, NOT A NICETY
clamp the COMPUTED value exceeded the rating. A software bug signal:
something upstream is winding. Alarm, every engagement.
saturation |command - inverter AC power| > `saturation_w` for
`saturation_cycles`. The HARDWARE cannot follow a perfectly legal
command. Action is "freeze the integrator" (11.2), not an alarm.
A loop can be legally saturated all day - a cold pack, a curtailed inverter, an
export limit - so a saturation-shaped alarm is one an operator learns to ignore.
Routing the clamp through it puts the bug signal inside the noise, which is the
same silence 10.3 is complaining about. They share no reason code, no
notification id, no status row and no counter.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ANTI-FLOOD, WITHOUT GOING SILENT
A genuinely winding loop clamps on EVERY cycle for as long as it winds. One HA
notification per cycle is how an operator learns to dismiss notifications
unread, and this add-on already made that argument once (see the fixed
`notification_id` note in main.check_meter_frozen).
So the two surfaces are split, deliberately:
- EVERY engagement is recorded, never deduplicated, and that record is what
says how hard the loop is pushing. 15's action log is this add-on's
`Controller.events`, and it gets a row from `write_setpoint()` on every
engaged WRITE; `engagements` here counts every engaged CYCLE. The two layers
are counted separately on purpose - the heartbeat re-writes an
already-clamped value between cycles, so a per-write count would inflate and
a per-cycle log would miss an out-of-cycle write.
- THE NOTIFICATION fires on the rising edge and then RE-ASSERTS every
`REASSERT_S`, so a loop pinned on the rail for an hour does not go quiet.
- It DE-ASSERTS only after `CLEAR_CYCLES` consecutive clean cycles, which is
the 10.2 hysteresis: a command sitting exactly on the rail dithers in and
out of engagement by one quantisation step, and without this the alarm
chatters.
`REASSERT_S` and `CLEAR_CYCLES` are module constants, not options, for the same
reason `freeze.RAIL_FRAC` is: they describe the event bus, not the plant, and
every knob 10.3 asked to keep exposed is a LOOP TUNING knob and is untouched by
this module. No new config key is added anywhere - CFG-03 already has three
places a default has to be kept in step and this ticket does not earn a fourth.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOT A TRIP
Clamping does not stop the loop and does not command 0 W. The clamped value is
written and control continues, which is what 11.2 asks for ("Clamp and alarm")
and what distinguishes this from SAFETY-01/02, whose action is 0 W. It follows
that this must NOT drive the failsafe status - `publish()` keeps reporting
"running", because the controller is.

# nothing else in this add-on uses it. See "DISTINCT FROM SATURATION".
REASON_CODE = "OUTPUT_CLAMP"
# Re-assert the notification this often while the clamp stays engaged.
#
# ⚠️ RAISED 30 s -> 150 s on 2026-09-05, and the reason is a REGIME CHANGE, not a
# change of mind about the alarm. 30 s was the planning cadence (2.3), chosen
# when a loop-side engagement was a rare event: `main.py`'s note at the action
# log records "60 cycles of the §10.3 runaway produce 0 write-path engagements
# and 2 loop-side ones". On the live install the counter reached 48 loop-side
# ENGAGEMENTS in ~25 minutes of ordinary operation - roughly one cycle in six,
# not a pinned rail, but far more often than a guard sized for 2-in-60 assumed -
# and the owner received a persistent notification about it all day. ⚠️ NOT
# because of the 30 s re-assert - see the block below; those notifications never
# consulted this constant at all.
#
# ⚠️ BOTH FIGURES ARE ENGAGEMENT COUNTS; only the regime differs - 2-in-60 was
# measured over a §10.3 RUNAWAY, 48-in-305 was ordinary running on the live
# install. The 48 is read off the live log, not measured in this repo.
#
# ⚠️ AND RAISING THIS CONSTANT ALONE DID NOT FIX THAT FLOOD - review found it
# and the first version of this change was wrong. At ~5 s cycles a 1-in-6
# engagement leaves ~25 s of clean cycles between engagements, past
# CLEAR_CYCLES x 5 s = 15 s, so the alarm DE-ASSERTED between almost every one
# and came back as a fresh rising edge. The rising edge used to fire
# unconditionally, so those notifications never consulted this constant at all:
# 48 notifications at 30 s, and still 48 at 150 s. The fix was to rate-limit the
# RISING EDGE too and let `last_alarm` survive a de-assert, so this interval
# bounds the notification rate across episodes rather than only within one.
# Measured on that same window afterwards: 51 episodes, 11 notifications.
#
# WHY the loop reaches its integrator bound so much more often than the guard's
# author saw: `max_w` on the live install is 5000 W, while the loop's slew was
# derived against a 1500 W clamp - admin/goodwe `NOTES.md` §"Simulated 2 kW load
# step (gain 0.6, clamp 1500)". ⚠️ THAT DERIVATION IS IN THE OTHER REPO; nothing
# in this one corroborates it, so do not go looking here. SAFETY-39 is the ticket
# that re-derives it, and fixing that is what would stop the railing; this
# constant only changes how often the alarm repeats.
#
# ⚠️ 150 s IS THE REQUIREMENT'S EDGE WITH MARGIN, AND THE CHECK NOW ENFORCES THAT
# EDGE. `test_clamp.py` part 2 grades the cadence in wall-clock terms - a pinned
# loop must speak at least MIN_PER_QUARTER = 5 times inside the 900 s quarter
# that bills the capacity tariff - which caps this constant at 900/5 = 180 s.
# Measured on the worst sliding 900 s window: 180 s earns 5 alarms, 181 s earns
# 4. 150 s earns 6.
#
# ⚠️ THAT CHECK USED TO PERMIT 224 s, AND THE FIX SHIPPED WITH THIS COMMIT. Its
# sweep starts at i=0, where the rising edge is free, so it measured one alarm
# more than a real quarter earns. A later editor raising this to 200 s would have
# had a green suite and a requirement quietly unmet. `test_clamp.py` now grades
# floor(QUARTER_S / REASSERT_S) directly.
#
# ⚠️ MIN_PER_QUARTER = 5 IS A TEST-LOCAL INTEGER, not a spec figure - it exists
# only in `test_clamp.py` and the CHANGELOG entry that introduced it. The 900 s
# quarter IS system-wide (`tariff.py`, `freeze.py`, `DOCS.md`). So the 180 s
# ceiling rests on one number a test author chose; if that number is ever
# revisited, this constant moves with it.
#
# ⚠️ THIS WAS A STOP-GAP; the wording and the numbers were SAFETY-40's, fixed
# in `loop_clamp_note()` below. Nothing here is
# suppressed: every engagement is still counted, the action-log row is written on
# every engaged cycle regardless, and the rising edge of every episode alarms
# unconditionally, so no alarm is DROPPED - only delayed.

# the notification budget is spent. THE ESCALATION EXISTS BECAUSE THE RATE LIMIT
# ALONE DELAYS A RUNAWAY, and review measured it: a benign one-cycle clamp

# to 140 s - one REASSERT_S minus a cycle. On the live install, where ordinary
# railing spends the budget essentially all the time, a runaway arriving during

# noise suppresses the bug signal" shape this module's docstring is written
# against.
#
# THE DISCRIMINATOR IS RUN LENGTH, and the two populations genuinely differ: the
