`min(moved, i_w) if i_w > 0 else max(moved, i_w)` files i_w == 0.0 under
rising-only, so the first push toward charging from exactly zero was blocked
permanently - the S-1 deadlock again, mirrored in sign. main.py resets i_w to
exactly 0.0 on every stop and every reseed, so it is a normal state.
Zero is now handled explicitly and both directions are allowed: nothing is
wound, so "may not wind further" has no referent, and a first step from zero is
bounded by the gain, the output clamp and the slew limit like any other.
Measured before the fix, at i_w == 0.0 and frozen: 12 800 of 25 920 ticks held
the integrator and 8 304 of those changed the emitted command, worst case
abandoning a 2 kW charge into a 4 kW export. Note this is NOT the same as the
reported symptom: at prev_w == 0 the command holds at 0 W either way, because
the output freeze forbids starting a charge while saturated, and that rule is
release/1.0's and unchanged. There is now a test asserting it deliberately.
Tests. The durable part is a property rather than more points: over 13 041
frozen states the integrator may be held ONLY by a correction pushing it
further from zero on the side it already sits, and any other hold fails. Both
signs at exactly 0.0. Mirrors added everywhere the suite tested one direction
of two - freeze wind/unwind while charging, i_w=-100, the export-direction
runaway, the negative clamp and slew.
DOCS: the cycles-vs-seconds deviation is now written down as a deviation - the
"> 10 s" criterion is not met as literally written, a cycle is one CHANGED
meter reading, and there is no guaranteed wall-clock window.
test_control.py: 43 -> 55 checks, all passing.
