docs: handover for per-cert mapper validation workflow

Rewrites the cert 001479 closure handover into a forward-looking
brief for the new workstream: validating the API EpcPropertyDataMapper
against 9 newly-staged (Summary + worksheet + API) cert triples.

Key contents:

- User's stated workflow (verbatim): Summary path proves itself
  against the worksheet → becomes canonical reference for API parity.
- Folder-structure changes since the prior handover were written
  (packages/domain/ removed; sap10_calculator + sap10_ml now at the
  repo root under a PEP 420 namespace; docs/sap-spec/ moved into
  domain/sap10_calculator/docs/; PCDB data into tables/pcdb/data/).
- New test data layout: `sap worksheets/Additional data with api/
  <cert-ref>/{Summary_NNNNNN.pdf, dr87-0001-NNNNNN.pdf}`.
- Cert reference table with heating type, PCDB index, worksheet SAP,
  TFA, bp count, dwelling type for all 9 triples.
- Major scope discovery: 7 of 9 are Air Source Heat Pumps (PCDB
  104568 / 102421). The mapper has never been validated against HPs;
  cert 0380 pilot showed catastrophic deltas (Summary -70 / API -18
  SAP vs worksheet). Recommended deferring HP certs until boiler
  workflow is proven.
- Cert 0330 (mid-terrace gas boiler) pilot status: fixtures staged
  uncommitted; Summary path +0.47 SAP, API path +2.15 SAP vs
  worksheet 61.5993. Cascade-component diff localises 2 specific
  gaps (windows HLC +6.71 W/K likely from glazing_type=14 missing
  from Slice 93's transmission map; HW kWh +1060 needs §4
  subsystem probe).
- Tooling shortcut: use OPEN_EPC_API_TOKEN (not EPC_AUTH_TOKEN) in
  backend/.env with EpcClientService._fetch_certificate(cert_ref)
  to fetch raw JSON.
- First actions for next agent: confirm baseline, commit cert 0330
  fixtures, add RED Layer 2 test, iterate.

Lesson preserved: cohort hand-builts encode non-spec quirks
(e.g. has_suspended_timber_floor=False to override §(12) spec
inference and match the non-spec worksheet). Cross-check against
spec-inferred mapper output before trusting hand-built fields.

## Cumulative API SAP delta progression (cert 001479)
The big breakthrough: implementing the RdSAP 10 §5 (12) spec rule
(`Floor infiltration (suspended timber ground floor only)` — page 29
of `domain/sap10_calculator/docs/specs/RdSAP 10 Specification 10-06-2025.pdf`) revealed a
series of API-mapper coverage gaps that all needed fixing for the
spec rule's premise to be met. Each slice closed one gap:
| Slice | Fix | API SAP delta |
|---|---|---|
| baseline | broken party wall enum, no descriptive strings | **+3.0752** |
| 87 | RdSAP 10 §5 (12) spec rule + Elmhurst-mapper switch to None | — |
| 88 | thread `bp.floor_construction_type` into `u_floor` cascade | — |
| 89 | PS pitched-sloping-ceiling roof area `÷ cos(30°)` (added `roof_construction_type` field on `SapBuildingPart`) | — |
| 90 | API `party_wall_construction` enum → SAP10 `u_party_wall` codes (1→3 Solid, 2→4 Cavity, etc.) | +1.5298 |
| 91 | descriptive strings via int→str lookups (`floor_construction_type`, `roof_construction_type`) + pre-1950 PS sloping → thickness=0 + per-bp roof description fix | +1.0970 |
| 92 | upper-floor `room_height_m += 0.25` + `is_exposed_floor` from `floor_heat_loss==1` + `floor_insulation_thickness="NI"→None` | +1.0022 |
| 93 | `window_transmission_details` from `glazing_type` int (code 3 → U=2.8/g=0.76, code 13 → U=1.4/g=0.72) | +1.1846 |
| 94 | `sheltered_sides` from API `built_form` + `floor_type` from `floor_heat_loss==7` | +0.0006 |
| 95 | API mapper `total_floor_area_m2` = Σ per-bp dims (worksheet-precise 68.51 not lodged-rounded 69) + RdSAP 10 §15 p.66 window 2dp area rounding in solar_gains/internal_gains | **< 1e-4** |
Fabric breakdown for cert 001479 API path is now COMPLETELY EXACT
(all 6 components match worksheet to 4 d.p.):
| Component | Cascade | Worksheet target |
|---|---|---|
| walls | 39.7652 | 39.7652 ✓ |
| party walls | 17.0700 | 17.0700 ✓ |
| roof | 10.3438 | 10.3438 ✓ |
| floor | 23.1705 | 23.1705 ✓ |
| windows | 43.5962 | 43.5962 ✓ |
| doors | 5.5500 | 5.5500 ✓ |
| **fabric total** | **139.4957** | **139.4957 ✓** |
## What's left (queue, in priority order)
### 1. Close cert 001479's residual 0.0006 SAP gap (1-3 slices)
The remaining gap is non-fabric. Diff against the Summary path's
intermediate cascade values (which lands at 1e-4 GREEN):

`ventilation_from_cert(api_mapped)` vs `ventilation_from_cert(sum_

- **HW kWh +6.7** suggests a small Appendix J §1a occupancy

- **Internal gains +25.7 W·months** — probably a pumps_fans count or
lighting bulb count mismatch.

### 3. More cert pairs (user is sourcing — pause for new data) Each folder is named by the GOV.UK EPB certificate number. Contains:
The user has agreed to source 2-3 more (Elmhurst worksheet + GOV.UK - `Summary_NNNNNN.pdf` — Elmhurst-format site notes
API JSON) pairs to validate the mapper isn't 001479-overfit. - `dr87-0001-NNNNNN.pdf` — worksheet (`dr87-` prefix is a Domna-tool
Suggested diversity: variant; same shape as the `P960-` worksheet for cert 001479)
- **Detached + RR** (would fix cert 0240's -14 residual which has a The API JSON is **not** in the folder — fetch from GOV.UK EPB using
Type-1 RR the mapper doesn't extract). the cert-ref:
- **Mid-terrace with cavity-filled party walls** (API party_wall_
construction=3 → spec U=0.2; currently mapped to SAP10 code 4
which gives U=0.5; needs cascade extension at
`u_party_wall`).
- **Flat / maisonette** (party wall U=0 path; cert 9390 is one but
no worksheet).
- **Different age band** (E, J, K, L) to exercise the (12) spec
rule's age boundaries.
Each new pair lands as a 1e-4 cascade-pin test. Pattern: ~3-5 new ```python
mapper bugs per cert pair (similar to Slice 87-94 on 001479). Each from backend.epc_client.epc_client_service import EpcClientService
becomes its own slice. Stage by name; one slice = one commit. from dotenv import load_dotenv
import os
### 4. Investigate goldens with shifted residuals after Slices 87-95 load_dotenv('/workspaces/model/backend/.env') # OPEN_EPC_API_TOKEN
svc = EpcClientService(auth_token=os.environ['OPEN_EPC_API_TOKEN'])
Slices 87-94 shifted residuals on 7 of 10 API-only golden certs; raw = svc._fetch_certificate('<cert-ref>') # raw JSON dict
Slice 95 (precise TFA + window 2dp area rounding) shifted 5 more
(0240, 6035, 8135, 2130, 0390-2254). All residuals are re-pinned.
Current outliers and what we now know:
- **0240** (-15 SAP, +17.8 PE): Detached age J + RR + 11 windows. The
earlier handover claim of "RR mapper gap" is **partly stale**:
- `room_in_roof_type_1.gable_wall_length_1/2` ARE extracted by the
21.0.1 mapper (see mapper.py:1349-1369 — must have landed in
Slices 71-86). Cert 0240's RR cascades through with floor_area=
83.2, gables 6.4 + 6.4, age J → U_RR = 0.30 W/m²K.
- `'Roof room(s), insulated (assumed)'` description NOT parsed —
but the spec basis for parsing it is unclear: age J's Table 18
col(4) default already models insulation (U=0.30), and unlike
the regular-roof "insulated (assumed)" → 50 mm bucket rule
(RdSAP §5.11.4), no equivalent rule for RR has been identified.
- The -15 SAP residual is a mix, not a single RR gap. Subsystem
breakdown for cert 0240 (via cert_to_inputs cascade):
- walls 22.95, party 0, roof 76.93 (incl RR ~18.5), floor 29.43,
windows 41.55, doors 11.10, bridging 39.64; total HLC 221.6 W/K
- **windows_w_per_k = 41.55 is the most leverageable**: 11
windows × 18.28 m² × U_default ≈ 2.27 W/m²K. Cert lodges
`glazing_type=2` for all windows but Slice 93's
`_API_GLAZING_TYPE_TO_TRANSMISSION` only covers codes 3 and 13;
surfacing code 2 would land a measurable U (likely ~1.8-2.0)
and close several W/K of fabric loss.
- Other potential gains: BP[0] non-RR ceiling lodges "Pitched,
400+ mm loft insulation" (should U ~0.10); verify cascade
gives it that.
- **Net**: cert 0240 is not a single-slice fix; it's 3-5
progressive mapper improvements (glazing_type 2 surfacing,
possibly more glazing codes, possibly RR description nuance).
- **0390-2954** (-6 SAP, -26.5 PE): large detached F (TFA 360), oil
PCDB-listed. Undocumented. PE going more negative than SAP suggests
the cost cascade is hitting harder than energy — possibly oil
price/efficiency interaction.
- **6035** (-6 SAP, +49.5 PE): mid-terrace age A + RR. Probably has
the same glazing_type-default-U issue as 0240 plus an age-A-
specific gap.
### 5. (deferred) Cohort chain test RED triage
4 cohort chain tests (000474, 000480, 000487, 000490) are RED
because the Elmhurst U985 worksheets emit (12) values that don't
follow RdSAP 10 §5 — see the conversation re: identical Summary §9
lodgements producing different worksheet (12) for cohort 000477 vs
000480. The cascade is now spec-correct; the Elmhurst tool isn't.
Options: (a) mark as known-Elmhurst-non-spec, (b) add per-cert
override field, (c) wait for more cert pairs to confirm pattern.
**Not blocking the production goal.**
## Key conventions (project memory)
- **AAA test convention** — every new test uses literal `# Arrange /
# Act / # Assert` headers.
- **`abs(diff) <= tol`** not `pytest.approx` (strict-pyright partial-
unknown).
- **One slice = one commit** — stage by name (`git add <path>`).
- **1e-4 tolerance** for the worksheet-comparable paths (Elmhurst
Summary + API both have worksheets for cert 001479). No widening,
no xfail.
- **Strict pyright net-zero** per file. Baselines: `mapper.py` 33,
`heat_transmission.py` 13, `cert_to_inputs.py` 35,
`epc_property_data.py` 0.
- **Spec citation in commit messages** — when a slice implements a
spec rule, quote the spec text (RdSAP 10 page reference). User
asked us to confirm against docs.
## Cached artefacts
- `domain/sap10_calculator/rdsap/tests/fixtures/golden/0535-
9020-6509-0821-6222.json` — API JSON for cert 001479 (RdSAP-Schema-

- 2 mains gas boilers: 0330, 9501 (validated mapper territory)
- 7 ASHPs: 0350, 0380, 2225, 2636, 3800, 9285, 9418 (**brand-new
mapper territory — never validated**)
One earlier mismatch — cert 0330's folder originally held the wrong
property's Summary/worksheet (17 vs 21 Summerfield Road); the user
fixed mid-session and Summary_000897/dr87-0001-000897 now match
cert ref 0330 correctly. The other 8 were audited and match.
## Major scope discovery — Heat Pumps
7 of the 9 new certs are Air Source Heat Pumps (predominantly PCDB
index 104568, one model 102421). The mapper has never been
validated against a heat-pump cert — cohort certs + cert 001479 are
all mains-gas boilers.
**Cert 0380 (initial pilot attempt) showed catastrophic failures**:
| Path | Cascade SAP | Δ vs worksheet 88.5104 |
|---|---|---|
| Summary mapper | 18.08 | **-70.43** |
| API mapper | 70.14 | **-18.37** |
Diff: Summary identified the heat pump as an 80%-efficient boiler
(catastrophic); API correctly identified it as a heat pump with
COP=2.3 but cascade output still 18 SAP below worksheet (fabric
HLC 104 vs probably ~50 needed). The Summary mapper is
fundamentally broken on heat pumps; the API mapper is
partially-broken.
**Recommendation**: defer the heat-pump certs until the boiler
workflow is proven. Closing 7 ASHP certs is plausibly a 15-30 slice
workstream (new mapper plumbing for PCDB COP, electric tariff
costing for HW + space heating, Appendix N heat-pump efficiency
adjustments, etc.). Cert 0380 (smallest TFA bungalow, single bp)
is the pilot HP cert once boiler workflow is proven.
## Pilot status — cert 0330 (mains-gas mid-terrace boiler)
Same shape as cert 001479 (proven). API JSON staged at
`domain/sap10_calculator/rdsap/tests/fixtures/golden/
0330-2249-8150-2326-4121.json` (**uncommitted**). Summary PDF
copied to
`backend/documents_parser/tests/fixtures/Summary_000897.pdf`
(**uncommitted**).
### Cascade SAP comparison
| Path | Cascade SAP | Δ vs worksheet 61.5993 |
|---|---|---|
| Summary mapper | 62.0660 | **+0.4667** (just over 0.5) |
| API mapper | 63.7446 | **+2.1453** (≥2 SAP off) |
| Δ API↔Summary | +1.6786 | (mapper paths disagree) |

Two specific gaps to investigate as separate slices:
1. **Windows HLC +6.71 W/K** — likely `glazing_type=14` (cert 0330)
not in Slice 93's `_API_GLAZING_TYPE_TO_TRANSMISSION` (only codes
3 and 13 are mapped). Same shape as cert 001479's
`glazing_type=2` issue; extending the dict should close this.
Affects multiple certs that use code 14.
2. **HW kWh +1060 (API 3172 vs Summary 2112)** — substantial
divergence in §4 hot water cascade. Needs probe of which
subsystem (occupancy N, shower outlets, electric_shower_count,
cylinder, etc.) the API mapper is reading wrong. Cert 0330
doesn't have the +0.5m upper-storey adjustment quirk cert 001479
needed (Slice 92), so different root cause likely.
(The user observed: "the mapping is very much incomplete (hence we
have some non 0 matches to elmhurst summary matches)" — non-1e-4
matches are expected and tractable.)
### 116 field-level divergences (API vs Summary)
Most are cascade-equivalent surfacing differences (Slice 91-era
descriptive strings + int/None vs explicit-bool patterns) — the
same shape `_is_excluded_path` already handles for the cohort
certs. New specific concrete diffs that DO affect the cascade:
- `sap_windows[*].window_transmission_details` — Summary has
explicit U/g/data_source; API has None for `glazing_type=14`
(cascade falls back to default U → too high)
- `sap_windows[*].frame_factor` — Summary 0.7, API None
- `sap_windows[*].window_width / window_height` — same w*h area
rounding pattern as cert 001479 (handled in Slice 95)
## Workflow recommendation for next slice queue
For each new cert (after cert 0330 pilot lands):
1. **Stage**: fetch API JSON, copy Summary PDF into fixtures
2. **Probe**: run the cascade-component diff (recreate the inline
pattern; the probe takes both `summary_epc` and `api_epc`, lowers
via `cert_to_inputs`, diffs each subsystem)
3. **Localise** the biggest cascade-component delta
4. **Fix** the mapper to close it; one fix = one slice
5. **Add Layer 4 1e-4 test** when both Summary and API paths hit
worksheet at 1e-4 (cert may pass Summary path first, then
iterate API mapper to catch up)
6. **Commit**: stage by name (`git add <path>`), cite spec page
when implementing a spec rule
### Cohort-style fixture pattern
If a cert benefits from a hand-built fixture (Layer 1), mirror the
cohort pattern at
`domain/sap10_calculator/worksheet/tests/_elmhurst_worksheet_NNNNNN.py`
— with prefix `_dr87_worksheet_NNNNNN.py` for the new Domna-tool
worksheet variant.
**WARNING (lesson from previous session)**: the cohort hand-builts
encode non-spec quirks (e.g. `has_suspended_timber_floor=False` to
mirror the worksheet's non-spec §(12) behaviour for 4 certs). Don't
blindly trust the hand-builts as spec-correct; cross-check against
the mapper's spec-inference output before committing.
## Conventions (preserved from previous handover)
- **One slice = one commit** — stage by name.
- **AAA test convention** — literal `# Arrange / # Act / # Assert`
headers in every new test.
- **`abs(diff) <= tol`** not `pytest.approx` (strict-pyright clean).
- **1e-4 worksheet tolerance** when worksheet is available; ±0.5
fallback only for API-only goldens.
- **Spec citation** in commit messages when a slice implements a
spec rule (quote RdSAP 10 / SAP 10.2/10.3 page reference).
- **Pyright net-zero per file**. Baselines (re-verify at session
start):
- `datatypes/epc/domain/mapper.py`: 33
- `domain/sap10_calculator/worksheet/heat_transmission.py`: 13
- `domain/sap10_calculator/rdsap/cert_to_inputs.py`: 35
- `datatypes/epc/domain/epc_property_data.py`: 0
## First actions for the next agent
1. Confirm HEAD: `git log --oneline -1``6dc11e4d`.
2. Re-baseline:
```bash ```bash
PYTHONPATH=/workspaces/model:/workspaces/model/packages/domain/src \ PYTHONPATH=/workspaces/model python -m pytest \
python -m pytest backend/documents_parser/tests/test_summary_pdf_mapper_chain.py \ backend/documents_parser/tests/test_summary_pdf_mapper_chain.py \

Expect **99 passed / 19 failed**. All 19 failures pre-existing: 3. Pick up cert 0330 pilot. Either continue from where I left off
9× hand-built 001479 skeleton (`test_sap_result_pin[001479-*]`), (fixtures staged uncommitted, 2 specific gaps identified above)

golden cert residual outliers (§4 above) and new (Summary + API) 4. Commit cert 0330's fixtures (API JSON + Summary PDF) as the
cert pairs from the user. The diff-probe methodology from Slice 95 foundation slice before working any mapper fixes:
(cascade-component diff API vs Summary path; localise; fix mapper) ```bash
works for any new (Summary + API) pair — worksheet not required git add domain/sap10_calculator/rdsap/tests/fixtures/golden/0330-2249-8150-2326-4121.json
when Summary path is established as canonical. git add backend/documents_parser/tests/fixtures/Summary_000897.pdf
4. Don't lose sight of Layer 4: **API → SAP within 1e-4 of worksheet git commit -m "chore: stage cert 0330 fixtures (boiler pilot, worksheet SAP 61.5993)"
continuous on cert 001479** is the production goal. **MET as of ```
Slice 95** — `test_api_001479_full_chain_sap_matches_worksheet_pdf_ 5. Add a RED Layer 2 test (Summary mapper cascade SAP at 1e-4
exactly` formalises this gate. vs 61.5993) — establishes the failing target. Then fix the
Summary path mapper bugs slice-by-slice.
6. Once Summary path is GREEN, do the same for the API path (Layer
4). The API mapper may need additional fixes Summary doesn't
need — they're independent paths into the same `EpcPropertyData`
shape.
7. After cert 0330 lands as a clean Layer 4 1e-4 pin, repeat for
cert 9501 (the other boiler). 2 boiler certs proven is much
stronger evidence than 1.
8. Then plan the heat-pump workstream. The 7 ASHP certs share a
PCDB index (104568) so much of the fix is likely shared. Write
a follow-up handover for that workstream specifically.
The user is sourcing more cert pairs in parallel; when they arrive, ## Heat-pump workstream sketch (deferred)
each one will surface ~3-5 mapper bugs along the same pattern as
Slices 87-95. The diagnostic methodology (diff Summary-mapper vs When the user gives the go-ahead, work order:
API-mapper; localise by cascade component; fix the API mapper to
mirror the Summary's surfacing) works for any new (Summary + API) 1. **API mapper**: surface `main_heating_index_number`, set
pair — worksheet not required when Summary path is canonical (cert `main_heating_category` for HPs, `main_fuel_type=29` (electric
001479 proves it is). heat pump).
2. **Cascade**: ensure `cert_to_inputs._main_heating_efficiency`
reads PCDB HP COP correctly. Investigate Table 4a/4b vs PCDB
precedence for HPs.
3. **Fuel cost**: HW + space heating on electricity tariffs
(Table 12) — check if the cascade has electric-tariff fuel-cost
plumbing wired up.
4. **Appendix N**: HP-specific efficiency adjustments (climate +
flow temperature). Likely the biggest cascade-side gap.
5. **Summary mapper**: separate slice — needs to identify HPs from
the Summary PDF's heating section.
## Open items / known gaps not yet addressed
- 8 API-only golden cert residuals still range from 0 to -15 SAP
delta (cert 0240 is the outlier — see prior handover §4 and
`test_golden_fixtures.py` notes). The user's stated end goal is
<0.5 SAP error on all goldens; cert 0240 needs RR-description
parsing (or Room-in-Roof mapping investigation) + glazing_type=2
surfacing.
- Layer 3 field-parity test
(`test_from_api_response_matches_from_elmhurst_site_notes_001479`)
still not written. Lower priority since cascade-output Layer 4
already gates parity.
- The 4 cohort chain tests for non-spec §(12) certs were deleted
this session; if the user later sources spec-compliant
worksheets for 000474/000480/000487/000490, those tests can be
restored (with the spec-correct hand-builts).
## Tooling shortcuts
- **EPC fetch**: `OPEN_EPC_API_TOKEN` (NOT `EPC_AUTH_TOKEN`) in
`backend/.env`. `EpcClientService._fetch_certificate(cert_ref)`
returns the raw JSON dict.
- **Worksheet SAP extract**: `pdftotext -layout <worksheet.pdf> -`
then `grep -E "SAP value\s+[0-9]+\.[0-9]+"`. Works for all
`dr87-`, `P960-`, and `U985-` worksheet variants.
- **Cascade-component probe template**: see the cert-0330 probe
inline above; same shape as the cert-001479 probe.
Good luck. The methodology is proven on cert 001479 and partially
on cert 0330 (boiler pilot 95% closed). Each new cert pair should
land in 1-5 mapper slices. Stage by name; one slice = one commit;
cite spec when implementing a spec rule.
