Problem

Owner decision P1 (27 Oct 2026): the car comes before battery charge, also when battery_covers_ev is false. The battery charges only from the surplus the car leaves.

Rig seeds 207535, 207539 and 207530 (random rig triage, 27 Oct, item P1) show the opposite. In 207535 the site meter read +10.4 kW while the battery charged +632 W and the car drew 11 kW (PV 5 kW, house 3.6 kW). Later in the same run the battery charged +445 W while the site imported 4.1 kW for the car.

Cause: with cover off, ComputeDispatch takes the car out of the meter reading (gridW -= uncoveredEVChargingW()) before the battery decides. That is right for discharge, since the battery must not feed the car. For charge it is wrong. Without the car the meter shows the PV the car is using as export, so the PI, the surplus-only reserve ceiling and the energy path all charged from it.

Change

go/internal/control/dispatch.go:

  • The battery's grid signal is now max(grid without car, min(grid with car, battery now)). When the house alone imports, nothing changes: the battery still covers the house and never the car. When the house alone has surplus, the battery sees the meter with the car, so it charges only from what the car leaves and never turns to discharge.
  • On the PI path, a discharge stops at once when the house alone has surplus, because that discharge feeds the car. Before, it wound down over several PI steps.
  • On the energy path, a planned PV charge (planned grid under 100 W) takes at most the surplus the car leaves. A planned grid purchase keeps its charge. The planned-grid check still compares against the grid without the car, as before.
  • Manual peak_shaving: the error was 0 for any import under the peak limit, so a charge that was running when the car started held while the site imported for the car, with cover on or off. When the site imports while the car (over 100 W) and the battery both charge, the error is now min(meter with car, battery now). The charge comes down by the import, to 0 at most, and the battery still never discharges under the peak limit. Added after review.
  • Self (manual) mode already read the raw meter. It does not change.
  • battery_covers_ev on already read the raw meter, so charge was already car first there. That does not change either.

Tests

New ev_car_before_battery_test.go:

  • TestCarBeforeBatteryChargeWhenCoverIsOff: the 207535 shape. The battery winds from +632 W to 0 W and never discharges. Fails before (charge rose to 1086 W).
  • TestCarBeforeBatteryChargesOnlyTheSurplusAfterTheCar: both flag values. The battery takes exactly the 1960 W left after the car. Fails before for cover off (5000 W).
  • TestCarBeforeBatteryCoverOffDischargesForHouseOnly: cover off still covers the house (−2000 W) and never the car.
  • TestCarBeforeBatteryCoverOnDischargesForTheCar: cover on still lets the battery feed the car.
  • TestCarBeforeBatteryEnergyPathPVChargeOnly: both flag values. A PV charge slot is capped at the surplus after the car, and a planned purchase keeps 4000 W. Fails before (4000 W on the PV slot).
  • TestCarBeforeBatteryPeakShavingDropsARunningCharge: both flag values, the 207535 shape in peak_shaving, battery starting at +871 W, 20 closed-loop ticks. The charge goes to 0 W and never turns to discharge. Fails before (871 W held while the site imports 10522 W).
  • TestCarBeforeBatteryPeakShavingChargesTheSurplusAfterTheCar: both flag values. With PV 18 kW the battery still charges the 3349 W the car leaves.
  • TestCarBeforeBatteryCoverOffStopsADischargeForTheCarAtOnce: cover off, peak_shaving, battery discharging 2900 W while the house alone has surplus. No order may discharge. With the PI path's discharge stop removed it fails (orders −1160, then −348 W); before this test only the golden replay caught that. Added at the second check.

Existing tests and records updated to the new rule:

  • TestEVSiteSurplusOnlyDoesNotClaimPVSoakWhenTogetherTheyWouldImport is now TestEVSiteSurplusOnlyTakesPVSoakWithoutImport. The surplus-only car may take the battery's planned PV soak. Car and battery together must not import, and the battery must not discharge.
  • TestEnergyDispatchAbsorbsSurplusBeyondEVReserveActualDraw now expects 1000 W, not 3500 W. The old 3500 W took 500 W of the car's own draw.
  • TestPlannerSelfIdleGateLeavesSurplusOnlyEVReserve now runs ten ticks against a plant and checks that the battery reaches 1000 W and never passes it. The PI now sees the true export, so it needs more than one tick.
  • Golden records, three changed. Only those records were rewritten; the other records stay byte-for-byte the same.
    • seeded_ev_boost/019: 1176 W charge → 0 W. The site imports 1651 W for house and car.
    • seeded_ev_boost/025: 5000 W → 3950 W. The car's reserve keeps 339 W.
    • slew/seeded_081_peak_shaving: +492 W total → −144 W. That is the slew step from −3144 W toward 0, with no charge.

Runs:

  • go test -race ./internal/control/...: ok, also at eb553dd. No golden record changed in the peak_shaving commit.
  • make verify: ok, also at eb553dd. Docker steps skipped.
  • The reviewer's edge tests (lagged meter, fuse relief after the discharge clamp, discharge slot with a planned car, surplus-only long loop, peak_shaving) all pass at eb553dd, and again on the stack as merged on 28 Oct. They are not committed.
  • The comment on the energy path's plan back-off said the plan's grid leaves out the car. It counts the car it planned (loadpoint.GridW); the comment now says so. The code there is unchanged from master.

I did not run siterig.

Risk

  • This changes battery behaviour on every non-Self site with cover off and a charging car. With PV beyond the house, the battery now charges less (only what the car leaves), and the car may take PV the battery would have soaked. That is the owner's rule. A surplus-only car on an arbitrage soak slot is the most visible case.
  • Discharge can only go down, never up. The new signal is never below the old one. When it is above the old one, the target is ≥ 0.
  • A planned grid purchase (planned grid ≥ 100 W) keeps its charge, as before. Synthetic directives with no planned grid keep the old energy-path behaviour. The plan's grid includes its planned car, so a slot that imports only for the car also counts as a purchase, and its battery charge skips the new car-first cap. The plan chose that charge; whether Core should cap it is left open.
  • Peak_shaving changes only while a car charges, the battery charges and the site imports under the peak limit. Without a car, a charge held under the peak limit stays as before; that is peak_shaving's own dead zone, not this rule. The fuse guard still runs after the new error.

Stack and merge order

Stacked on #1924 (battery-rise-per-phase-cap), which stacks on #1923 → #1913 → #1891 → #1910 → master. Merge after #1924.

#1924 (c0a52740, which holds #1923's head 8a10b27d) is merged in here (5babe51a). The merge touched only ev_fuse_budget.go and ev_fuse_cut_netting_test.go, with no conflict. At 5babe51a, go test -race passes for ./internal/control, ./internal/loadpoint and ./cmd/ftw, and so does the non-race control run with the field matrix. #1926 sits on this branch and does not yet contain its head. If #1924 is squash-merged first, I will merge master into this branch and move the base.

Other open PRs touch dispatch.go in other places: #1921 (frozen meter), #1916 (SoC floor), #1914 (margin default), #1878 (one SoC floor) and #1789 (fuse as one function, which also touches control_test.go and the two golden files). None of them change the car's exclusion from the meter. Expect small text conflicts at most.

This change also affects C2 (the triage says P1 "feeds C2"). With less battery charge beside a charging car, fewer charge rises meet the per-phase check from #1924.

Core now works to the fuse rating unless a site sets a margin. Every
explicit safety_margin_a is kept. A stored value of exactly 0.5 A, the
old default, adds one load-time notice and changes nothing.

The peak-limit error names the margin only when it is above 0, and the
settings field shows 0 with help that says the margin is opt-in.

The changeset said FTW works to the fuse rating unless a site sets a
margin. On this PR's base every per-phase line still sits 1 A under the
rating; that holds only once #1910 and the step-4 amendment of #1891
land. The changeset now names what this PR changes: the default, and
the whole-site import and export limits.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
With battery_covers_ev off, dispatch took the car out of the meter
reading before the battery decided. The battery then saw the PV the
car was using as export and charged from it while the site imported
for the car (rig seeds 207535, 207539, 207530: about 10 kW import).

The battery now charges only from the surplus the meter shows after
the car. Where the house alone has surplus, the battery sees the meter
with the car included, and any discharge stops at once, since it would
feed the car. A planned PV charge on the energy path takes only the
surplus the car leaves; a planned grid purchase keeps its charge.
Cover off still never discharges the battery for the car.

Manual peak_shaving gave zero error for any import under the peak
limit, so a battery charge that was running when the car started held
while the site imported for the car, with battery_covers_ev on or off.
When the site imports while the car and the battery both charge, the
charge now comes down by the import, to 0 at most. Under the peak limit
the battery still never discharges.

…hows

After a restart, the 0 A orders FTW sent while the meter was stale counted
as the EV base the meter shows. With the car still drawing 8.2 kW from
before, a new 6.2 kW order then counted as a 9 A rise to come, and the
battery was held in discharge for the car (seed 207532).

Until a charger's first order of this run can have landed, the battery
side now counts the charger's live measured draw as in the reading, never
above the latest order and never above the consumption the site meter
shows. The car's own limit does not read it.

Review of #1926 found two ways the restart credit let the battery end a
discharge into room the car's pending rise still needs:

- The charger reading counted with no check that it was current. A held
  reading after a failed poll, or a sample older than the site reading,
  could show a car that a fast charger had already stopped. The draw now
  counts only when the last poll succeeded and the charger measured it
  within one control interval of the site reading.
- The consumption bound subtracted the smoothed battery, PV and V2X
  values, which lag an output that just fell. It now takes the higher of
  raw and smoothed for each, so the bound stays at or below what the
  meter shows.

New tests pin both, plus the shown-offer subtractions and a window that
outlasts evSettle.

Rebases #1914 onto the top of the fuse stack. The one conflict was the
margin in the site sim's boot; it now reads simFuseSafetyA.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
simFuseSafetyA follows the config default, now 0. fitScenario takes the
room under the line and sets the house from simFuseSafetyA, so its exact
fit stays twelve whole steps at any margin. "charger's own load
balancer" passes at margin 0, so its known line goes.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
With the stack under it, the default moves the car's and the battery's
per-phase line as well as the site totals. 0.5 A stops being the
default, so #1910's changeset no longer calls it that.

At the 0 A default the scenario passes only because the charger's own
balancer sits at 25 A, the rating and so the line. The bug is still in
Core: a cut comes off an offer the car does not draw. Two known variants
keep it tracked and turn red once it is fixed: the stored 0.5 A margin
(over 24.5 A for more than 11 s) and a balancer at 25.5 A at margin 0
(over 25 A for more than 11 s).

Removing the PI path's immediate discharge stop left every named test
green; only the golden replay caught it. A peak_shaving loop with
battery_covers_ev off, starting from a 2.9 kW discharge while the house
alone has surplus, now requires that no order discharges into the car.

The comment on the plan back-off said the plan's grid leaves out the car.
It counts the car it planned; the comment now says so.

After a restart Core does not know the offer in force on the charger, so
a car drawing below it may still rise before Core's order lands. The
credit now counts only the draw less that possible rise past the latest
offer, with the rise measured to the loadpoint's max_charge_w; a charger
with no max_charge_w gets no credit.

The charger and output reads move into health-gated telemetry accessors
(OnlineLowerW, SumOnlineHigherW). Tests cover the raw and smoothed
guards, a 10 s OCPP sample cadence on the plant, and the review's car
rising under a 16 A offer in force.

The battery side's restart credit (evFoundDrawW) had two gaps.

A charger sample measured after the site reading counted as part of
it. A car that rose in that gap was credited for draw the meter did
not show yet, and the battery ended its discharge into room the rise
had taken. With a 3 s meter, L2 reached 19.30 A. A sample now counts
only when measured at or before the site reading.

The rise reserve took max_charge_w as the most the unknown offer in
force can be. A charger still on an offer from before a restart that
lowered max_charge_w, or on its own higher default, could rise past
it: 19.00 A per phase on the unit fixture, 19.30 A on the plant. The
reserve now runs to the larger of max_charge_w and the site fuse's
rating.

The restart credit compared a charger's sample time, stamped by the
charger's own clock (OCPP MeterValues), with the time the site reading
arrived on Core's clock. A charger clock 1 s or more behind Core's let
a rise sampled after the reading count as already in it, and L2 reached
19.30 A on the third review's plant case.

A sample now counts only when stamped evClockAllowance (5 s) before the
reading arrived, and the draw is the lowest of that sample and every
sample since. noteDraw keeps the charger's samples while the restart
window is open.

Also tests the max_charge_w half of the rise cap: a 22 kW charger on a
3 x 25 A fuse keeps the reserve up to max_charge_w.

Brings in the current tips of #1910, #1891, #1913, #1923, #1924,
#1925 and #1926.

The only conflict was #1910's changeset: it now carries #1910's new
sentence on an offline battery's relief, and keeps this branch's
"a 0.5 A margin" wording, since 0.5 A is no longer the default here.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…move

The SiteFuseSafetyA comment read as if the margin were needed by
default; it now says zero is the default and when to set one. The
changeset named "the site's total import and export limits", which
reads as the hourly import_limit; that limit does not move. It now
names the fuse's import and export ceilings.

A mutation that restored a hidden 0.5 A margin at startup passed every
suite. This test pins the value newControlStateFromConfig hands Core.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
At margin 0 Core holds the phases at the 16 A line. Rig s18-16's 0.1 A
house step at small_step then lands over the line until Core cuts: on
fdfbfec the phase read 16.101 A for 3 s and Core cut the battery
4851 -> 4719 W within 2 s. The criterion "own commands stay inside the
rated fuse" counted that stretch as Core's and failed. The owner's rule
judges an overage between In and 1.2 x In by the I2t model.

The criterion now skips the 10 s after the step, the same gap the minor
window already leaves. On the fdfbfec record Core's own commands peak
at 16.008 A before the step and 16.005 A after it, inside 16.01 A.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The 5 s clock allowance let the restart credit count a charger sample
taken 5-7 s before the site reading. A car that stopped after that
sample (a fast charger applying the 0 A sent while the meter was stale,
or the car pausing) still counted, the battery ended the discharge the
car's return needed, and L2 reached 21 A on a 16 A fuse when it resumed.

Core now judges a sample by when it first arrived on Core's clock. It
counts as in the reading only when it arrived evMeterDelay (1 s) before
the reading, and no more than one control interval before that. A sample
already there when Core began to watch the charger arrived at a time
Core does not know, so it never counts. The charger's stamp only tells
samples apart, so a charger clock behind Core's no longer matters.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
At margin 0 the car in s8-60-25 settles at the rating, as the owner's
rule says, and the rig's old 1 A hidden margin failed it: 271 s above
24 A against 67 s allowed, with no second over 25 A. siterig/full has the
same threshold in overage() (s9, s10, s11), the random invariants and
s15bat.

Port #1907's judge hunks: s3, s8, s9-s11, s15bat and the invariants now
count time over the fuse rating. TestS8JudgesAtTheFuse and #1907's
TestInvariantsJudgeAtTheFuse fail on the old judges.

* fix(control): one log of FTW's own EV offers

The battery side read a 20 s pool log of EV offers (State.evOffers), while
the EV fuse limit keeps each charger's offers for its declared response
time, or 180 s when it declares none. After 20 s the battery counted a slow
charger's unshown raise as already in the meter and charged into that room;
when the car started, a 25 A site read 32.6 A per phase for 3 s.

Delete State.evOffers and its two writers. evInMeterW and
clampEVBatteryHeadroom read evShownW, each charger's latest offer less
what it may not show yet. The hourly peak in stepEVMeterLimit takes each
charger's highest offer of the last evSettle from the same log.

* fix(control): battery waits only for a declared charger response time

The first A6 change gave the battery side the EV limit's 180 s guess
for every charger that declares no response time. Only Easee Cloud
declares one, so on every other charger the battery reserved the car's
whole demand on top of a reading that already showed the car, and
stopped charging for 3 minutes after each car start or raise. On the
#1868 shape (rig s18) battery charge stayed at 0 W until 180 s.

evShownW now uses the charger's declared power_max_age_s, and evSettle
when it declares none, as master did. Easee Cloud declares 180 s, so the
slow-charger case stays fixed.

Tests: the slow-charger test now declares 180 s, and a new plant test
runs the s18 shape with a fast charger that declares nothing.

* fix(control): fuse guard reads phases after the hold caps the targets

The guard took the phase relief from the original request, then the 30 s
fuse hold capped that request and the relief came off again. A charge
limited by one phase switched between 1380 W and 0 W on every dispatch.
Predict the aggregate and the phases from the held targets instead.

The phase reader now takes the meter's raw total from OnlineMeterW, the
same reading as its currents, so an offline meter's cached phases drive
no relief. The batteries' raw power is read in one helper. dispatch.go
keeps its 41 cached telemetry reads.

* fix(control): car and battery-beside-car work to the fuse rating less safety_margin_a

The EV phase limit was In - 1 A, fixed in code. It is now fuseLineA():
In - safety_margin_a, with no floor. A rise moves one step once it fits
under the line, a start takes all the room, and battery charge beside a
car uses the same line. The hour's import limit keeps its own margins.
Starts and per-phase cuts round down to whole charger amps, since
chargers round offers to the nearest amp.

Step 3 (PR b) of the fuse-at-rating plan (owner rule of 27 Oct).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(control): keep covered offers whole and leave battery relief out of EV room

Two review findings on the fuse-line change:

- A cut rounds to whole charger amps only when a new cut is needed. When
  cuts on their way cover the overage, the offer stays as it is. Rounding
  a kept step-table offer took the car 6200 -> 5500 -> 4800 -> 0 W in 3 s
  on a 0.6 A overage while a 180 s cut travelled.
- Dispatch records the discharge the fuse guard adds to each battery, and
  an EV rise or start does not count it as room. Before, the car rose into
  the relief and the battery fed it 650 W at the line for as long as the
  house load stayed.

The noisy-line sim test now pins the slow one-step cycle at an exact fit
(at most 5 cuts an hour, never a stop) and no moves with part of a step
left, instead of allowing 45 moves an hour.

On #1891 as it stands, the phase line is the fuse less max(1 A,
safety_margin_a), so at the 0.5 A default a 16 A phase settles at
15 A, not 15.5 A. Say what this PR changes, cutting only by the
overage, without naming a line that depends on step 4.

* fix(config): fuse safety_margin_a defaults to 0

Core now works to the fuse rating unless a site sets a margin. Every
explicit safety_margin_a is kept. A stored value of exactly 0.5 A, the
old default, adds one load-time notice and changes nothing.

The peak-limit error names the margin only when it is above 0, and the
settings field shows 0 with help that says the margin is opt-in.

* docs(changeset): say what the default change moves on its own

The changeset said FTW works to the fuse rating unless a site sets a
margin. On this PR's base every per-phase line still sits 1 A under the
rating; that holds only once #1910 and the step-4 amendment of #1891
land. The changeset now names what this PR changes: the default, and
the whole-site import and export limits.

* test(control): relief stays at the line after a PV drop (C3, seed 207533)

On a 16 A fuse with no margin the battery holds 3 kW of discharge with L1
at 14.4 A; PV drops 1280 W and L1 reads 16.3 A. The relief must bring L1
to 16 A and keep it there while the reading sits at the line with the
battery at its relief power. Without phaseFuseReliefW's own-move count
the relief flips between -3214 W and -3005 W on every tick and L1 crosses
the rating 13 times; with it, L1 crosses once.

* test(control): phase relief reads each battery live, in the decision's reading

The merge of #1876 moved stopPhaseReliefW's live reads into
phaseSample.moveW. Pin it: a battery that went offline, moved on to a
newer reading or has no reading gives no phase relief. With the cached
RawW read #1891 had, the offline and newer-reading cases relieve 2310 W
and the no-reading case counts a 2000 W charge from 0 W.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(control): battery relief holds when the battery's reading lags the meter

The phase relief counts the battery's move from its own reading. When
that reading lags the meter by a tick, the meter already shows the relief
while the reading does not, so the relief came off; on the next tick it
went back on top of the reading's catch-up. In the 207533 shape (16 A,
margin 0) with a one-tick lag the order ran -3214, -3005, -3422, -3005,
... -5717 W and L1 went back to 16.3 A on every other tick: 13 crossings.

A move from the battery's last command (the one it got in the last
dispatch) may now not pass the room the meter shows either. That bound
only tightens, and a phase already over the line gives it no room, so it
never asks for more than to stay at the last command: a battery that
falls short of its order does not wind it up. With lag 1 or 2 the order
holds -3214 W with L1 at 16.0 A and one crossing, on the PV step.

* fix(control): a landed EV cut covers nothing later; a raise that no longer fits comes off

The site meter now tells Core how much of a charger's offers it already
shows. A move shaped like an order landing (every phase alike, or one
phase alone for a one-phase car) moves that level toward the latest
offer. A cut the meter shows no longer covers an overage that an outside
step causes after it, and no longer nets against a raise sent after it.
Where a landing and a house step fall in one reading, a cut covers a
phase that has risen since only up to the overage it had then.

C4: our own rise on its way, as the meter tells it, is judged as the
reading it will make. Above 1.2 x In, or over the line on a phase whose
heat budget is spent, it comes off on this reading, down to the line.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(control): a one-phase house move is not the car's cut landing

seeOffers kept one shown level for every phase, so a house load moving on
one phase alone read as a three-phase cut landing and took the cut's cover
off the phase it was sent for. With a 40 s charger Core then stacked a
second cut and left L1 2 A under the line for over 2 min. The shown level
is now kept per phase: a three-phase order moves every phase alike, and a
phase that moves alone moves only its own level.

The loadpoint now reports a car it has seen draw on all three phases as
CarPhases 3. For such a car a one-phase move is never the car, so a house
step on one phase while a raise travels no longer hides the raise, and C4
cuts on that reading.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(control): a battery charge rise fits each phase before it is sent

The battery fuse guard judged a rise from the battery's own reading and
the meter's phases, so it took a rise the meter did not show yet as
already shown. With the meter a poll behind the battery, a PV surplus that
grew each tick stacked rises past the line, then the relief cut them back:
16.4 A on a 16 A fuse and a charge that rose and fell (C2, seeds 207530,
207535).

fitBatteryRisesToFuse caps charge above the battery's latest order to
(fuseLineA - worst phase - own unshown rises) x V x phases. The unshown
rises are the battery's orders of the last evSettle and the chargers'
raises, counted as evShownW counts them, so the car comes first. Holding
an order is never a rise and the check never cuts; an overage stays with
the relief. No margin and no floor: the order ends at the line.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(control): battery rise check counts slow batteries and direction-less phases

A battery order now stays unshown until evSettle after the battery's own
reading reaches it, so a battery that ramps slower than evSettle no longer
gets a second rise on top of an order the meter cannot show yet.

On a meter with phase currents but no phase power while the total
exports, a phase counts as export only when the other phases cannot
carry the export alone; any other phase counts as import. Before, every
phase flipped to export, so a three-phase charge could rise into a phase
that imports beside two exporting ones.

* fix(control): the car comes before battery charge

With battery_covers_ev off, dispatch took the car out of the meter
reading before the battery decided. The battery then saw the PV the
car was using as export and charged from it while the site imported
for the car (rig seeds 207535, 207539, 207530: about 10 kW import).

The battery now charges only from the surplus the meter shows after
the car. Where the house alone has surplus, the battery sees the meter
with the car included, and any discharge stops at once, since it would
feed the car. A planned PV charge on the energy path takes only the
surplus the car leaves; a planned grid purchase keeps its charge.
Cover off still never discharges the battery for the car.

* fix(control): peak shaving drops a running charge for the car

Manual peak_shaving gave zero error for any import under the peak
limit, so a battery charge that was running when the car started held
while the site imported for the car, with battery_covers_ev on or off.
When the site imports while the car and the battery both charge, the
charge now comes down by the import, to 0 at most. Under the peak limit
the battery still never discharges.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(control): after a restart the battery credits the car the meter shows

After a restart, the 0 A orders FTW sent while the meter was stale counted
as the EV base the meter shows. With the car still drawing 8.2 kW from
before, a new 6.2 kW order then counted as a 9 A rise to come, and the
battery was held in discharge for the car (seed 207532).

Until a charger's first order of this run can have landed, the battery
side now counts the charger's live measured draw as in the reading, never
above the latest order and never above the consumption the site meter
shows. The car's own limit does not read it.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(control): credit a found car only from a current charger sample

Review of #1926 found two ways the restart credit let the battery end a
discharge into room the car's pending rise still needs:

- The charger reading counted with no check that it was current. A held
  reading after a failed poll, or a sample older than the site reading,
  could show a car that a fast charger had already stopped. The draw now
  counts only when the last poll succeeded and the charger measured it
  within one control interval of the site reading.
- The consumption bound subtracted the smoothed battery, PV and V2X
  values, which lag an output that just fell. It now takes the higher of
  raw and smoothed for each, so the bound stays at or below what the
  meter shows.

New tests pin both, plus the shown-offer subtractions and a window that
outlasts evSettle.

* test(control): run the site sim at the new 0 A default margin

simFuseSafetyA follows the config default, now 0. fitScenario takes the
room under the line and sets the house from simFuseSafetyA, so its exact
fit stays twelve whole steps at any margin. "charger's own load
balancer" passes at margin 0, so its known line goes.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs(changeset): say what margin 0 moves once the fuse stack lands

With the stack under it, the default moves the car's and the battery's
per-phase line as well as the site totals. 0.5 A stops being the
default, so #1910's changeset no longer calls it that.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test(control): keep the load-balancer bug as a known line above the line

At the 0 A default the scenario passes only because the charger's own
balancer sits at 25 A, the rating and so the line. The bug is still in
Core: a cut comes off an offer the car does not draw. Two known variants
keep it tracked and turn red once it is fixed: the stored 0.5 A margin
(over 24.5 A for more than 11 s) and a balancer at 25.5 A at margin 0
(over 25 A for more than 11 s).

* fix(control): EV room reads battery relief through live telemetry

evFuseReliefW read each battery's cached RawW, which survives a driver
going offline. It now reads Store.OnlineRawW. A battery with no live
reading counts its whole recorded relief, so the car never builds on
discharge Core can no longer hold.

fuseSaverEarlyExit read each battery's SmoothedW a second time to record
relief. It now records against the live snapshot the fuse-saver decision
already took (fleetAtLivePower), so it adds no read of its own.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(control): an offline battery's fuse relief ends after evSettle

With no battery online, ComputeDispatch returns before it records relief,
so batteryFuseRelief kept its last value and evFuseReliefW counted all of
it for as long as the battery stayed offline. The car was held up to the
whole relief below the line. The relief now counts in full until the
default mode Core sent at the transition can have reached the meter
(evSettle), then ends.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(control): each offline battery's fuse relief ends after evSettle

The expiry in 8150b45 ran only when no battery was online. With a
second battery online, an offline battery's relief stayed until a
recorded dispatch rewrote the map: never while the legacy modes sat in
the deadband, and on the first tick when one did record, so the car
could rise onto discharge Core ordered a second earlier. Each offline
battery now has its own clock: its relief counts whole for evSettle
and then ends, on every dispatch path. A battery back online leaves the
clock, so its next offline period counts whole again; a test now covers
that reset.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(control): battery phase relief neither pins mixed phases nor winds up

The last-command bound held the battery at its last command when one
phase sat at the import line and another was over the export line: the
guard cut the discharge for the exporting phase and the bound put it
back. Now the bound gives way on one side while any phase is over the
other side's line, and phaseFuseReliefW's least-over move decides.

When the meter does not show the battery's move (a frozen meter, or a
worst phase a one-phase battery cannot reach), each tick added the same
overage again and the order ran out to the discharge limit. Now the
relief toward the worst phase stops at the last command once the
batteries' raw power has moved one ampere per phase since the worst
phase last moved by half an ampere. One ampere is the step in which P1
meters report phase current.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(control): battery phase anti-windup stops only when the meter cannot show the move

phaseUnresponsive stopped the relief whenever the batteries had moved
690 W and the worst phase had not moved half an ampere. On a live meter
that also happens when a load cancels the move (a balanced load starting
with the relief step, or a slow rise on the worst phase), and when the
battery's reading catches up with an order the meter already showed.
The relief then held over the line with no end.

Now it stops only when the meter repeats its phases exactly while the
batteries moved one ampere per phase, or when another phase moved by
twice the balanced share of that move (a battery off the worst phase).
The repeat is measured from the reading the meter last changed in, so a
meter that freezes on any reading is still caught.

* fix(control): battery off the worst phase goes back, and a stale reference ends

Fourth review of the phase anti-windup (c066892):

- The worst phase's reference had no end while that phase sat over the
  line. A relief that follows a slow drift keeps it there, so the
  reference stayed while the battery moved hundreds of watts, and a load
  that later switched off on another phase read as a battery off the
  worst phase. The relief then held L1 up to 0.49 A over the line with no
  time limit. The reference now also ends when the worst phase is at or
  inside the line, or when another phase becomes the worst.
- An off-phase verdict no longer holds the last command. The batteries go
  back to their power when the worst phase last moved: what they moved
  since did not reach it. A one-phase battery no longer holds its own
  phase at -17.97 A for the whole overage (and -19.83 A, past 1.2 x In,
  when PV returns). A false verdict on a balanced battery moves the
  worst phase by at least one ampere on the next reading, which ends the
  reference, so it costs one tick instead of an open-ended hold. The
  verdict holds until the reference ends, so the relief does not go out
  again once the battery is back.
- The frozen-meter test now also compares the meter's total. A P1 meter
  reports whole amperes, so a live meter can repeat its phases while its
  total moves; that latched the relief at 1.11 x In.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test(control): the drift test also wants no verdict on the load change

With L1 at the line ending the reference, no off-phase verdict comes when
the load on L3 switches off. Without it, the step back still ends the
hold, but with L1 at 16.8 and 17.7 A for two ticks; the test now sees
that.

* test(control): our battery order's move is not the car's cut landing

The guard in seeOffers that stops reading the meter while our battery
order moves had no test; removing it left every test green. A battery
order that lands and goes back while a cut travels to a 40 s charger
now must not lead to a second cut.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test(control): the car-first discharge stop has its own test

Removing the PI path's immediate discharge stop left every named test
green; only the golden replay caught it. A peak_shaving loop with
battery_covers_ev off, starting from a 2.9 kW discharge while the house
alone has surplus, now requires that no order discharges into the car.

The comment on the plan back-off said the plan's grid leaves out the car.
It counts the car it planned; the comment now says so.

* fix(control): the battery rise check reads only live battery power

fitBatteryRisesToFuse, unshownBatteryW and recordBatteryReadings read
the battery's cached RawW, which survives the driver going offline, and
added three direct telemetry reads that the repo-hygiene check refuses.
They now use Store.OnlineRawW, as phaseSample.moveW does: an offline
battery's last value no longer sets the rise base or the shown level.

* fix(control): judge a raise's landing from the meter's rise

C4 counted a raise as landed only when a reading-to-reading move had a
charger's shape. A slow ramp, or a house load on another phase that moved
in the landing reading, left the whole raise counted as on its way on top
of a reading that already held it, and Core cut a raise that fit under
the line. The rise still to come now reads the meter's own rise since the
raise went out: the smallest across the phases for a three-phase order,
the car's phase for a one-phase car.

For a three-phase order, a move on one phase alone no longer moves the
shown level of a car not yet seen. A load cycling on the phase over the
line took the cut's cover off on each drop and never gave it back, so
Core cut again and again.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(control): a car not yet seen may take a raise on one phase

The smallest rise across the phases read a one-phase car not yet seen
as a raise that had not landed: its phase rose, the other two did not.
Core then cut the car from 11040 W to 0 with every phase under the line
(field matrix, car1p cases). One phase that has risen alone since the
raise went out, the others within half a step, now counts as that car
taking the raise, as the shape tracker read it before. The changeset
again says what holds: the one-phase house step case is closed for a
car seen on three phases.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(control): judge a one-phase landing reading by reading

For a car not yet seen on three phases, a raise counted as landed on one
phase only while the other phases stayed within 0.5 A of their reading
when the raise went out. That window spans the charger's whole response
time, so 0.6 A of house drift on another phase made the full raise count
as still to come on top of a reading that already showed it, and Core
cut the car with every phase under the line (field matrix with 0.7 A on
L2: car1p cut 11100 -> 0 W).

Each phase now keeps its rise over the readings in which the other
phases moved less than a step (aloneA). A rise of a step or more there
may be the car on that phase. Drift between readings, or under a step
in the landing reading, no longer hides it; a house load that moves a
step or more on another phase in the same reading still does.

* fix(control): restart credit keeps room for the car's rise to its max

After a restart Core does not know the offer in force on the charger, so
a car drawing below it may still rise before Core's order lands. The
credit now counts only the draw less that possible rise past the latest
offer, with the rise measured to the loadpoint's max_charge_w; a charger
with no max_charge_w gets no credit.

The charger and output reads move into health-gated telemetry accessors
(OnlineLowerW, SumOnlineHigherW). Tests cover the raw and smoothed
guards, a 10 s OCPP sample cadence on the plant, and the review's car
rising under a 16 A offer in force.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test(control): Charge now landing shown before Core logs its offer

Site rig s1-16, s1-25 and s15-25 failed on c9b52c3: the charger answered
within a second, and the meter reading that showed the car at 15.9 A came
in 7 ms before the tick that first logged the 16 A offer. The reading
could not show an offer logged after it, so the landing counted as a
raise still to come, 15.9 + 16 A passed 1.2 x In, and Core cut 11,040 W
to 5,520 W with 9 A of room on every phase. The same run of the base at
281f9f6, without this branch's commits, fails the same way; #1923's
ab02710, merged here in c0a5274, reads the meter's own rise and fixes
it. This test pins that rig shape.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(control): restart credit counts no sample newer than the meter

The battery side's restart credit (evFoundDrawW) had two gaps.

A charger sample measured after the site reading counted as part of
it. A car that rose in that gap was credited for draw the meter did
not show yet, and the battery ended its discharge into room the rise
had taken. With a 3 s meter, L2 reached 19.30 A. A sample now counts
only when measured at or before the site reading.

The rise reserve took max_charge_w as the most the unknown offer in
force can be. A charger still on an offer from before a restart that
lowered max_charge_w, or on its own higher default, could rise past
it: 19.00 A per phase on the unit fixture, 19.30 A on the plant. The
reserve now runs to the larger of max_charge_w and the site fuse's
rating.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(control): restart credit holds against a charger clock behind Core's

The restart credit compared a charger's sample time, stamped by the
charger's own clock (OCPP MeterValues), with the time the site reading
arrived on Core's clock. A charger clock 1 s or more behind Core's let
a rise sampled after the reading count as already in it, and L2 reached
19.30 A on the third review's plant case.

A sample now counts only when stamped evClockAllowance (5 s) before the
reading arrived, and the draw is the lowest of that sample and every
sample since. noteDraw keeps the charger's samples while the restart
window is open.

Also tests the max_charge_w half of the rise cap: a 22 kW charger on a
3 x 25 A fuse keeps the reserve up to max_charge_w.

* docs(control): the fuse margin is opt-in, and only the fuse ceilings move

The SiteFuseSafetyA comment read as if the margin were needed by
default; it now says zero is the default and when to set one. The
changeset named "the site's total import and export limits", which
reads as the hourly import_limit; that limit does not move. It now
names the fuse's import and export ceilings.

* test(control): battery beside a minimum-step car holds the fuse line (rig s18-16)

On #1910 and #1891 the battery rises beside the car to the working limit,
the fuse guard cuts it by the overage plus half of safety_margin_a and holds
30 s, and the battery rises again: it hunts between 15.0 and 15.5 A on a
16 A site. Where it stands when the house moves is chance, which is why
rig s18-16 failed 3 of 57 runs on those heads. #1913's cut by the overage
only keeps it on the line.

* test(config): an unset fuse margin reaches Core as 0

* test(site): s18 judges own commands apart from the house's step

At margin 0 Core holds the phases at the 16 A line. Rig s18-16's 0.1 A
house step at small_step then lands over the line until Core cuts: on
fdfbfec the phase read 16.101 A for 3 s and Core cut the battery
4851 -> 4719 W within 2 s. The criterion "own commands stay inside the
rated fuse" counted that stretch as Core's and failed. The owner's rule
judges an overage between In and 1.2 x In by the I2t model.

The criterion now skips the 10 s after the step, the same gap the minor
window already leaves. On the fdfbfec record Core's own commands peak
at 16.008 A before the step and 16.005 A after it, inside 16.01 A.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(control): no cut of an unseen car, no landing from a 1p house move

Two regressions against #1913 from the final review.

A car the loadpoint has not seen on three phases may draw on one phase
Core does not know. The alone rise (aloneA) missed its landing when any
other phase moved a step in the same reading, so the whole raise counted
as still to come and C4 cut a car with every phase under the line, at
most session starts with a 10 s meter. riseAheadA now takes the largest
rise for such a car, as for a one-phase car whose phase is not known,
and the smallest only once the car is seen on three phases.

A one-phase order never knows the car's phase, so a house load moving
alone on any phase read as its cut landing and took the cover off a cut
still on its way. A one-phase move now counts only on a known car phase.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(control): judge a restart sample by its arrival, not its stamp

The 5 s clock allowance let the restart credit count a charger sample
taken 5-7 s before the site reading. A car that stopped after that
sample (a fast charger applying the 0 A sent while the meter was stale,
or the car pausing) still counted, the battery ended the discharge the
car's return needed, and L2 reached 21 A on a 16 A fuse when it resumed.

Core now judges a sample by when it first arrived on Core's clock. It
counts as in the reading only when it arrived evMeterDelay (1 s) before
the reading, and no more than one control interval before that. A sample
already there when Core began to watch the charger arrived at a time
Core does not know, so it never counts. The charger's stamp only tells
samples apart, so a charger clock behind Core's no longer matters.

* test(site): judge overages at the fuse rating, not fuse - 1 A

At margin 0 the car in s8-60-25 settles at the rating, as the owner's
rule says, and the rig's old 1 A hidden margin failed it: 271 s above
24 A against 67 s allowed, with no second over 25 A. siterig/full has the
same threshold in overage() (s9, s10, s11), the random invariants and
s15bat.

Port #1907's judge hunks: s3, s8, s9-s11, s15bat and the invariants now
count time over the fuse rating. TestS8JudgesAtTheFuse and #1907's
TestInvariantsJudgeAtTheFuse fail on the old judges.
