-"""Regression-anchor tests for a small set of corpus certs whose
-SAP rating and primary-energy values our calculator currently produces
-within tolerance of what Elmhurst lodged.
+"""Loose smoke-test regression anchors for a small set of corpus certs.
 
-Purpose: catch regressions silently introduced by future slices. If a
-slice that's meant to improve aggregate MAE accidentally pushes a
-previously-correct cert outside the tolerance, this suite fails and we
-can decide consciously whether the trade-off is worth it.
+**Retiring**: per ADR-0010 §10 these cert-based fixtures contained
+compensating errors against the cert-cal-prices state of the calculator
+and are scheduled for replacement by BRE worked-example fixtures (P5).
+Until P5 lands, the fixtures stay in place as a *loose* smoke test —
+catching only catastrophic regressions, not per-line spec-correctness
+breaks.
 
-Tolerance rationale:
-- SAP rounded-integer residual ≤ 1 — the score the cert lodges; integer
-  rounding means an exact "0" check would over-fit to integer flips.
-- PE residual ≤ 10 kWh/m² — looser than ideal but reflects current
-  calculator capability; tightens as we close the PE bias.
+Purpose: catch wholesale-broken slices (e.g. a refactor that drops a
+worksheet stage entirely) between now and P5. Per-section verification
+during the spec sweep should lean on BRE worked-example unit tests, not
+on these fixtures.
+
+Tolerance rationale (per ADR-0010 §10):
+- SAP rounded-integer residual ≤ 5 — was ±1 under cert-cal prices.
+  Loosened because spec prices produce ±2-3 SAP drift on these certs
+  (the cert-cal prices had been numerically tuned around the same
+  certs).
+- PE residual ≤ 25 kWh/m² — was ±10. Loosened on the same logic.
 
 Selection criteria (see docs/sap-spec/PARITY_FINDINGS.md): from a
 1000-cert random sample these 7 certs satisfied
   |continuous SAP residual| ≤ 1.0 AND |PE residual| ≤ 10
   AND (main_heating_category != 4 OR main_heating_data_source != 1)
-i.e. non-PCDB-heat-pump, lowest combined-residual quartile of the sample.
+under the **cert-cal prices** that have since been deleted. They are
+no longer a "lowest-residual" set under spec prices, but stable enough
+to catch obvious regressions.
 
 Each cert is a stored JSON document under
 `fixtures/golden/<certificate_number>.json` — frozen at extraction time
