  # --- SAFETY-02 sign-disagreement watchdog ----------------------------------
  # Trips when the emitted setpoint and the P1 net figure point OPPOSITE ways,
  # both over sign_disagree_w, continuously for sign_disagree_s. Action: 0 W and
  # a failsafe that latches until an operator starts control again.
  #
  # Both defaults are measured, not chosen. On the captured healthy day
  # (2026-08-23) the longest legitimate opposed run - a load step the loop has
  # not caught up with - is 30 s, and sign agreement over the gated samples is
  # 93.4 %. On the captured fault day (2026-08-20) the clusters run 0.0-10.5 %
  # agreement with opposed runs up to 1752 s. 300 W / 180 s sits in the middle of
  # a very wide gap: at 60 s the healthy day still trips nothing, at 300 s the
  # fault day still trips 13 times. There is no reason to move either number
  # without a capture that says so. They are options because the AC says
  # thresholds are defaults rather than constants - not because they are knobs
  # anyone is expected to turn.
  #
  # ⚠️ sign_disagree_w must stay BELOW max_w or the watchdog can never fire (the
  # arbiter bounds the command to +-max_w). validate.py refuses that config.
  sign_disagree_w: 300

  # --- SAFETY-18 frozen-but-fresh meter detector -----------------------------
  # Seconds the meter may keep answering with an UNCHANGED measurement while the
  # command stands at the rail before the add-on raises an alarm. Both halves
  # are required: neither one alone is safe, and app/freeze.py carries why.
  #
  # ALARM ONLY. It does not command 0 W and does not latch. A false trip parks
  # the battery; a false notification costs an alert.
  #
  # ⚠️ Only `meter_source: homewizard_local` can see this at all - it is the
  # only transport that reads the meter's own document. On every other source
  # the status page says NOT COVERED rather than "armed".
  #
  # 300 s is measured, not chosen. Over 2399 s of the live house at the
  # converged operating point (sim/scenarios/p1-age-2026-08-26.jsonl.gz, mean
  # grid -14.2 W, 1194 polls, 735 of them repeating the previous reading) the
  # LONGEST run without a distinct reading is 15.4 s (the largest unchanged_s any
  # sample observes is 8.0 s). 300 s is 19.5x the pessimistic figure, and
  # still inside the 900 s quarter that bills the capacity tariff.

  # --- maintenance -----------------------------------------------------------

  maintenance_start_hour: 10
  # ⚠️ BOTH MUST STAY AT OR BELOW max_w, and that is why they are 2000 rather
  # than the 2500 they shipped as. The cheap-window charge shaping asks the
  # arbiter for `hi = -maintenance_charge_w` against the supervised `lo =
  # -max_w`: above the ceiling that is `lo > hi`, a contradiction resolved to
  # 0 W, so maintenance would SILENTLY NEVER CHARGE in a cheap window on a
  # default install. validate.py refuses that config (rule 6), so these
  # defaults had to become self-consistent with the max_w above rather than
  # ship a configuration the validator rejects.
  #
  # The discharge side is clamped rather than contradicted - it drains at max_w
  # and the arbiter says so - so it is only warned about; it is 2000 here for
  # symmetry and to keep the shipped config warning-free.
  #
  # Raising max_w (the live reference install runs 5000) is what unlocks a
  # faster maintenance cycle. Raise max_w FIRST, then these.

  # --- SAFETY-24: the energy backstop under SAFETY-07's forced discharge -----
  # 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.
  peak_soc_floor: 20
  # The pack's OWN cut-out percent - what the BMS enforces whatever is set
  # above. Register 0x0560 reads 10 on the reference GW5000S-BP, consistent with
  # DoD 90. It is here so validate.py can REFUSE a peak_soc_floor at or below
  # it: such a floor can never bind, the BMS wins, and the status page would
  # report an energy backstop that does not exist.
  bms_soc_floor: 10

  # ⚠️ THE OLD PRICE PATH, AND IT IS NOT DEAD YET. These two entities are the
  # add-on delegating the whole price question to Home Assistant: main.py reads
  # both and derives ONE BOOLEAN, `cheap = now <= avg`, which is consumed by
  # nothing except the maintenance cycle's cheap-window charge floor. That is
  # all they have ever done. They are kept, because retiring them would take
  # the maintenance cycle's only price signal away on a live install before
  # anything replaces it - TARIFF-03 (static profile) and OPT-04 (arbitrage)
  # are the cards that replace it, and neither has landed.
  #
  # ⚠️ They may NOT be combined with price_provider below. Two price sources on
  # one site, one of which silently wins, is exactly the "double up" the PM
  # named; validate.py rule 7 refuses that configuration at startup rather than
  # letting an operator believe the provider they configured is driving
  # something. See app/validate.py.
  price_now_entity: ""

  # --- price providers (TARIFF-02, specs §9.3 / §14 `tariffs:`) --------------
  # `off` is the shipped default and means the §11.4 no-price-data row applies:
  # static profile, plan provisional, NO ARBITRAGE. Nothing in 0.5.x consumes
  # the series yet - OPT-04 is the consumer - so turning this on today fetches,
  # validates and publishes prices and changes no energy decision.
  #
  # ⚠️ THESE DEFAULTS ARE MIRRORED ONCE, IN app/price.py's
  # PRICE_OPTION_DEFAULTS, and test_price.py reads THIS FILE and asserts the two
  # agree key for key. Do not add a third copy in main.py - CFG-03 is open
  # because that has already happened three times.
  #
  # markup/taxes are the §14 `tariffs.energy_price.*` figures and are added by
  # the FRAMEWORK, only for the components the chosen plugin declares its feed
  # does not already contain. engie_dynamic, totalenergies_dynamic, eneco_eddy
  # and manual_csv publish a figure that already carries the markup, so setting
  # it under those is ignored - and logged as ignored, never applied twice.

  # §14's `tariffs.static_profile`, and "" is its `null`. §9.2: "a large share
  # of the installed base is on [a static profile]" - this is what makes those
  # sites first-class rather than "price_provider: off, good luck".
  #
  # A JSON object, on one line, whose periods must tile every day type exactly
  # once - no gap and no overlap. A gap is REFUSED at startup rather than
  # defaulted, because an invented price is one an optimiser would trade on.
  # A fully-fixed tariff is ONE period covering 00:00-24:00, all days; the
  # add-on derives "fixed" from there being one distinct price, so there is no
  # box to tick and none to tick wrongly.

  #
  # ⚠️ RECOMMENDED EVEN ON A DYNAMIC SITE. §11.4's degradation row is "no price
  # data -> fall back to the static profile"; with this empty there is nothing
  # to fall back to and a dead feed leaves the site with no tariff at all.
  # validate.py warns about exactly that.
