- not delivering: the body said control keeps running and then "start
control"; clearing it takes stop then start, and it now says so.
- peak reserve: the "reserve not set" branch is really soc_floor None,
i.e. an inverter's cut-out level missing; it now names that. The title
is true on all three branches ("Battery stopped limiting the peak").
- no semicolon run-ons in bodies (STYLE.md + test); loop-bound, circulating,
meter-frozen and multi-unit over-rating bodies rewritten to match.
- allowlist cap is now exact, so a shrink cannot leave room to regrow.
- DOCS names the settings behind "peak reserve" and "cut-out level";
DECISIONS no longer states the HA anchor behaviour as fact.

# UX-08 phase 2a: short notifications, and what moved out of them
|
|
|
|
The owner decided on 2026-09-27: a title of at most about 5 everyday words and a one-sentence body. A red safety alarm may use up to 3 sentences, so no action-relevant information is lost. Titles are neutral, with no "GoodWe:" prefix. HA entity ids appear only in refusals. The rule is `STYLE.md` at the repository root, the texts are in `app/messages.py`, and `test_messages.py` enforces both. The detail each notification used to carry is in DOCS.md under "Notifications", and the body links to it.
|
|
|
|
**Unchanged:** every `notification_id`, every trigger and cadence (edges, SAFETY-34 re-announce, per-unit ids), every log line and every status row. The status banner and rows are phase 2b, refusals and option texts 2c, logs 2d; `ux08_allowlist.txt` lists them until then.
|
|
|
|
## Where a choice was made
|
|
1. **Severity of "not delivering" (SAFETY-42).** The notification is an *alarm*, so it may use 3 sentences. Its log line is ERROR and the alarm is latched. The page banner stays amber, as SAFETY-42 decided, because control keeps running; the two answer different questions (is control running / must a person act) and HA shows no colour on a notification. The three checks stay in their original order. Clearing it takes stop then start, and the body says so.
|
|
2. **Figures left the bodies** of the frozen-meter card (the rail and the command), the circulating-power card (the watts and the time window) and the peak cards (the projection). None of them is needed to act, and all of them are still in the reason text that the log line and the status row carry. `test_freeze.py` and `test_watchdog.py` now pin that. The frozen-meter card can therefore no longer quote a wrong rail (SAFETY-20), because it quotes none.
|
|
3. **The over-rating alarm keeps its numbers** (asked, sent, and which limit cut it), because they are what a fault report needs. `ClampWatchdog.facts` carries them under the same keep-the-bug rule as `reason`, so the words and the numbers always describe the same tick, with asked before sent (SAFETY-40, `test_clamp.py` part 6).
|
|
4. **SAFETY-25 stays in the peak-reserve alarm** as its last sentence ("the reserve only limits peak shaving … down to its cut-out level"). The alarm now gives each branch its own action: at the reserve, lower it; battery level unread, check the sensor; floor unknown, set the cut-out level. That last branch is `soc_floor is None`, which happens when an inverter's cut-out level is missing, not the peak reserve (that option always has a value). Before, every branch said "lower peak_soc_floor". The title, "Battery stopped limiting the peak", is true on all three branches.
|
|
5. **SAFETY-32 at a roster of one.** The body no longer ends in a separate "WHICH PACK" paragraph. The pack's name is part of the first sentence ("The battery of inverter-b …"), and at a roster of one that is the only difference.
|
|
6. **Dropped as background, now in DOCS:** "charging stays blocked" (peak reserve), "why no other guard fired" (circulating power, not delivering), and the saturation-freeze distinction (over-rating). "The meter cannot see this" stays in the circulating-power card, as the owner asked.
|
|
7. **The Details link** opens the add-on's documentation page (`/hassio/addon/<slug>/documentation`, with the slug taken from the container hostname) and names the section. A `#heading` anchor was not used because nobody has checked that Home Assistant's documentation tab renders heading ids; if it does, adding one is a one-line change. Outside an add-on container it names the section without a link.
