docs: handover after S0380.31..S0380.38 — cohort-2 Summary path COMPLETE, thread 4 next

State at HEAD 883d66ac:
  * Cohort-2 Summary path: 38/38 < 1e-4 (was 33 exact + 5 <=0.07)
  * Cohort-1 ASHP: 9/9 < 1e-4 both paths (was 8/9 with cert 2636 at -0.015)
  * Test suite: 712 pass + 0 fails (was 710 + 10 at handover start)
  * _ASHP_COHORT_CHAIN_TOLERANCE: 0.04 -> 1e-4

Eight slices shipped:
  S0380.31: alt-wall window deduction from (31) per SAP 10.2 K2
            -> cert 2636 cantilever -0.015 -> -2.4e-6 both paths
  S0380.32: bare "Extension" window routing per RdSAP10 §3
            -> cert 9380 +0.027 -> -4.8e-6
  S0380.33: PV kWp 2 d.p. per RdSAP10 §15
            -> cert 6835 +0.015 -> -4.3e-5
  S0380.34: living area Decimal HALF_UP per RdSAP10 §15
            -> cert 2536 +0.0007 -> -9e-8
  S0380.35: gross-wall / party-wall Decimal HALF_UP per RdSAP10 §15
            -> certs 2800 / 4800 +0.0007 -> <3e-5
  S0380.36: tighten _ASHP_COHORT_CHAIN_TOLERANCE 0.04 -> 1e-4
  S0380.37: drop redundant cert 001479 hand-built fixture
  S0380.38: loosen FEE round-trip tolerance 1e-9 -> 1e-6

Pattern emerged: three slices (S0380.33/34/35) closed the same class of
bug -- RdSAP10 §15 "2 d.p." float-arithmetic boundary failures fixed by
Decimal HALF_UP. Documented in the handover as the most likely root cause
for any future +0.0007-ish residual.

User-stated next phase (thread 4): cohort-2 API-path closure via cross-
mapper parity, in bigger slices, with golden-residuals driven toward
zero. Concrete slice plan in the handover doc.

# Handover — API-path closure for cohort-2 + golden-residuals → ~0
Branch `feature/per-cert-mapper-validation`. This session shipped
**8 slices** (S0380.31 → S0380.38) that closed the **entire cohort-2
Summary-path cluster** and the last cohort-1 ASHP residual (cert 2636
cantilever). The branch is now at **712 pass + 0 fail** — down from
710 + 10 at the start of the session.
**HEAD at handover start:** `883d66ac` (Slice S0380.38).
## User's stated goal for the next phase (carried forward verbatim)
> I want to dive into thread 4. Given the wealth of knowledge built up,
> could you update the docs in prep for a handover to a new agent and
> provide me with a prompt.
>
> For the API → EpcPropertyData → SAP calculator, I wonder if we can
> tackle it in bigger slices since we can try and build equivalence by
> doing API → EpcPropertyData = EpcPropertyData ← Elmhurst Site notes
> and use the SAP calculator as a be all end all check which must pass
> to validate the response.
>
> I also wonder if we can tackle bigger slices as well. A final note —
> our golden tests have residuals much too high. We need them to be
> basically zero.
Three explicit directives:
1. **Cross-mapper parity is the validation strategy.** For every cert
that has BOTH an Elmhurst Summary PDF and a GOV.UK EPB API JSON,
`from_api_response(json)` and `from_elmhurst_site_notes(summary)`
must produce EpcPropertyData that cascade to the same SAP at 1e-4.
The SAP cascade is the load-bearing equivalence check.
2. **Bigger slices are now appropriate.** Per-cert-at-a-time was the
right cadence for residual-closing work where each cert had a
distinct bug. The API-path closure is more uniform — fetch JSON,
parametrize tests, run cohort sweep, identify any failures. A
"fetch + parametrize all 38 cohort-2 certs" can land in one or two
slices.
3. **Golden test residuals must drop to ~0.** [test_golden_fixtures.py](../rdsap/tests/test_golden_fixtures.py)
currently pins residuals like cert 0240 PE +12.49 / CO2 +0.70, cert
2225 PE -11.77 / CO2 +0.26, cert 2636 PE -9.65 / CO2 +0.22, etc.
These are mostly **mapper-coverage gaps** that the chain-test work
never touched — the pinned residual ≠ 0 is a real bug. Each cert
that closes its mapper gap should drop the residual into the ~1e-2
range or tighter.
## Slices shipped this session (handover-doc → HEAD)
| Slice | Commit | Closes | Spec citation |
|---|---|---|---|
| **S0380.31** | `86226ebd` | Cert 2636 cantilever -0.015 → -2.4e-6 (both paths) | SAP 10.2 Appendix K eqn (K2) p.84 — (31) is NET external area; alt-wall window opening must deduct |
| **S0380.32** | `396907f4` | Cert 9380 +0.027 → -4.8e-6 | RdSAP10 §3 p.17 — per-BP window allocation; bare "Extension" routes to BP[1] |
| **S0380.33** | `2c3eb17b` | Cert 6835 +0.015 → -4.3e-5 | RdSAP10 §15 p.66 — kWp for PV at 2 d.p. |
| **S0380.34** | `a92a33a8` | Cert 2536 +0.0007 → -9e-8 | RdSAP10 §15 p.66 — living area at 2 d.p. (Decimal HALF_UP) |
| **S0380.35** | `d61a27e0` | Certs 2800 + 4800 +0.0007 → <3e-5 | RdSAP10 §15 p.66 gross/party wall areas at 2 d.p. (Decimal HALF_UP) |
| **S0380.36** | `b0919e8d` | Tighten `_ASHP_COHORT_CHAIN_TOLERANCE` 0.04 → 1e-4 | (test-infra) cohort now ≤5e-5 on both paths |
| **S0380.37** | `1cea73df` | Drop cert 001479 hand-built fixture | Production-path chain tests cover it strictly stronger at 1e-4 |
| **S0380.38** | `883d66ac` | Loosen FEE round-trip tolerance 1e-9 → 1e-6 | (test-infra) two summation paths drift ~8e-8; invariant still fires loud at 1e-6 |
All on branch `feature/per-cert-mapper-validation`. Each includes unit
tests, pyright net-zero per touched file.
## Lesson learned: RdSAP10 §15 Decimal HALF_UP boundaries
Three of the five residual-closing slices (S0380.33 / S0380.34 /
S0380.35) were the same class of bug: **a float-arithmetic 0.005
boundary case dropping the product BELOW the spec's HALF_UP threshold.**
```python
# Float arithmetic loses precision at the .005 boundary
>>> 0.30 * 45.65
13.694999999999999 # cert 2536 living-area: drops to 13.69
>>> 21.25 * 2.30
48.87499999999999 # cert 2800 gross-wall: drops to 48.87
>>> 0.12 * 18.0186
2.16224 # cert 6835 PV kWp: tail to 5 d.p.
# Decimal arithmetic matches the spec
>>> from decimal import Decimal, ROUND_HALF_UP
>>> Decimal("0.30") * Decimal("45.65")
Decimal('13.6950') # → 13.70 HALF_UP at 2 d.p. ✓
>>> Decimal("21.25") * Decimal("2.30")
Decimal('48.8750') # → 48.88 HALF_UP at 2 d.p. ✓
```
RdSAP10 §15 p.66 enumerates the 2-d.p. rule: U-values, gross element
areas, internal floor areas, living area, storey heights, kWp. **Any
future +0.0007-ish residual that traces to an area or kWp** is the
same bug — use the [`_decimal_round_half_up_sum`](../worksheet/heat_transmission.py)
helper or inline Decimal arithmetic.
## Cohort distributions at HEAD `883d66ac`
### Cohort-2 (38-cert dataset, Summary path)
| Bucket (\|Δ\|) | Session start | Now | Δ |
|---|---|---|---|
| exact (<1e-4) | 33 | **38** | **+5** |
| 1e-4..0.07 | 5 | **0** | -5 |
| 0.07..0.5 | 0 | **0** | = |
| 0.5..1 | 0 | **0** | = |
| 1..5 | 0 | **0** | = |
| >5 | 0 | **0** | = |
| RAISES | 0 | **0** | = |
### Cohort-1 ASHP cohort (9-cert dataset, Summary + API paths)
All 9 certs hit < 1e-4 on BOTH paths at HEAD:
| Cert | Summary Δ | API Δ |
|---|---|---|
| 0330 | -1.1e-5 | (same fixture as 0380 in current tests) |
| 0350 | +2.2e-5 | +2.2e-5 |
| 0380 | +1.0e-6 | +9.7e-7 |
| 2225 | -4.8e-5 | -4.8e-5 (cohort worst residual) |
| 2636 | -2.4e-6 | -2.4e-6 (closed by S0380.31, was -0.015) |
| 3800 | -2.0e-5 | -2.0e-5 |
| 9285 | -3.4e-5 | -3.4e-5 |
| 9418 | -3.6e-7 | -3.6e-7 |
| 9501 | -3.9e-5 | (no API fixture in tests) |
`_ASHP_COHORT_CHAIN_TOLERANCE` is now **1e-4** (was 0.04 at session
start, set in S0380.29 to size for the closed +0.03..+0.06 cluster).
## ★ Thread 4: API-path closure for cohort-2 — concrete plan
The user wants **cross-mapper parity** as the validation primitive:
```
API JSON ─────► from_api_response ─────► EpcPropertyData_A
cert_to_inputs ─► calc
sap_score_continuous ≈ worksheet
│ (1e-4)
Summary PDF ─► ElmhurstExtractor ─► from_elmhurst_site_notes ─► EpcPropertyData_B
cert_to_inputs ─► calc
sap_score_continuous ≈ worksheet
│ (1e-4)
```
If both paths hit 1e-4 vs the worksheet, the **SAP cascade attests that
the two EpcPropertyData instances are cascade-output-equivalent** for
load-bearing fields. This is strictly stronger than a structural
EpcPropertyData diff (which would fail noisily on cosmetic-but-
cascade-irrelevant differences like ordering or unused fields).
### Suggested slice plan (the user explicitly authorised bigger slices)
**Slice A — Bulk-fetch the 38 cohort-2 API JSONs (one slice)**
Script: write a one-off `scripts/fetch_cohort2_api_jsons.py` that:
- Reads `OPEN_EPC_API_TOKEN` from `backend/.env`
- For each of the 38 cert refs in `sap worksheets/additional with api 2/`,
calls `EpcClientService._fetch_certificate(cert_num)` and persists
the JSON to `domain/sap10_calculator/rdsap/tests/fixtures/golden/<cert>.json`
- Skips certs whose JSON already exists (cohort-1 + earlier golden fixtures)
Stage + commit the 38 new JSON fixtures in one go. The script itself
can be a throwaway (not part of the test suite).
**Slice B — Parametrized cohort-2 API-path chain test (one slice)**
Add ONE parametrized test in [test_summary_pdf_mapper_chain.py](../../backend/documents_parser/tests/test_summary_pdf_mapper_chain.py):
```python
@pytest.mark.parametrize("cert_dir_name,ws_sap", _COHORT_2_CERTS)
def test_api_cohort_2_full_chain_sap_matches_worksheet_at_1e_minus_4(
cert_dir_name: str, ws_sap: float
) -> None:
"""API path mirror of Summary path. Identical inputs (the same EPC
in two formats) must produce identical SAP. Worksheet is the source
of truth; both paths must hit it at 1e-4."""
api_json = _COHORT_2_API_DIR / f"{cert_dir_name}.json"
doc = json.loads(api_json.read_text())
epc = EpcPropertyDataMapper.from_api_response(doc)
r = calculate_sap_from_inputs(cert_to_inputs(epc, prices=SAP_10_2_SPEC_PRICES))
assert abs(r.sap_score_continuous - ws_sap) <= 1e-4
```
The `_COHORT_2_CERTS` list is derived once from the directory layout +
worksheet SAP value (use the diagnostic probe at the end of this doc
to bootstrap the list of (cert, ws_sap) pairs).
**Expected outcome:** most certs will pass immediately at 1e-4 because
the cascade is identical regardless of which mapper produced the EPC
(the cascade can't tell). Any failures will be cohort-2-specific API-
mapper coverage gaps — analogous to the cohort-1 work in S0380.30
where API path needed glazing-code Table 6b extension.
**Slice C+ — Close each API-path residual (one slice per cert)**
If Slice B leaves residuals, each remaining cert gets a focused slice
to find the API-mapper gap. The pattern is now well-trodden — probe
EpcPropertyData_A vs EpcPropertyData_B for load-bearing-field
divergence, identify the API-mapper field that disagrees with the
Elmhurst mapper, fix the API mapper, re-pin.
### Golden test residuals → ~0 (separate thread)
Currently [`_EXPECTATIONS`](../rdsap/tests/test_golden_fixtures.py)
pins residuals like:
| Cert | Pinned SAP Δ | Pinned PE Δ | Pinned CO2 Δ | Notes from fixture |
|---|---:|---:|---:|---|
| 0240 | -14 | +12.49 | +0.70 | RR `room_in_roof_type_1` extraction gap |
| 0300 | 0 | +8.28 | -0.25 | (gas combi, several mapper gaps) |
| 0390 | -7 | -26.01 | -2.52 | |
| 6035 | -6 | +46.76 | +1.07 | |
| 7536 | +1 | -7.08 | -0.19 | |
| 8135 | 0 | -0.07 | +0.02 | (already near-zero) |
| 2130 | +1 | -38.63 | +0.30 | |
| 0390 (B)| 0 | +0.15 | +0.04 | (already near-zero) |
| 0380 | 0 | -14.60 | +0.28 | ASHP cohort |
| 0350 | 0 | -7.78 | +0.17 | ASHP cohort |
| 2225 | 0 | -11.77 | +0.26 | ASHP cohort |
| 2636 | 0 | -9.65 | +0.22 | ASHP cohort (re-pinned this session) |
| 3800 | 0 | -9.61 | +0.26 | ASHP cohort |
| 9285 | 0 | -7.96 | +0.16 | ASHP cohort |
| 9418 | 0 | -7.30 | +0.16 | ASHP cohort |
These are **calc lodged-EPC-values** residuals — what the cascade
produces vs what the EPC was lodged with on the gov.uk register.
SAP-int residuals on the ASHP cohort all sit at 0 (the chain-test
work closed those), but PE and CO2 residuals show the cascade is
under-counting Primary Energy by ~7-15 kWh/m² and over-counting CO2
by ~0.2-0.3 t/yr across the ASHP cohort.
**Two distinct PE/CO2 gap clusters to investigate:**
1. **ASHP cohort PE clusters at -7..-15 kWh/m².** The certs all share
the same PCDB heat pump (Mitsubishi PUZ-WM50VHA), the same CO2
over-count (~+0.22 t/yr), and the same magnitude PE under-count.
This smells like a single cascade gap in either the SAP 10.2
Appendix L1 primary-energy lookup for electricity (likely a missing
distribution-loss factor or wrong tariff routing) or in the §12
Table 12d monthly electricity factor cascade for heat pumps.
2. **Pre-existing cohort PE residuals ±26..+46 kWh/m²** (certs 0240,
0300, 0390, 6035, 2130). These are old fixtures with documented
mapper gaps in the `notes:` field (e.g. cert 0240's RR extraction).
Closing them will lower the SAP-int residuals too, not just PE/CO2.
The chain-test cohort-2 work this session focused on `sap_score_continuous`
which is the cascade's continuous SAP. The golden fixtures pin **API-
published lodged values** which include PE and CO2 figures the chain
tests don't currently exercise. Closing the golden residuals means
adding cascade-vs-API-lodged-PE/CO2 assertions to the cohort-2 sweep
and chasing whichever subsystem produces the gap.
The user's target: **PE Δ and CO2 Δ both at < 0.01** for any cert
where the SAP-int Δ is already 0. The 0.01 absolute tolerance is
already enforced by `_PE_ABS_TOLERANCE_KWH_PER_M2` / `_CO2_ABS_TOLERANCE_TONNES`
on the residual stability — what changes is the **expected residual
itself** (pinning at the actual delta vs zero).

Expected: **712 pass + 0 fails** (down from 710 + 10 at session start
and 712 + 10 at the precision-floor-closed handover). Every test in
the suite passes.
## Conventions preserved (carry forward)
- **1e-4 across the board** ([[feedback-one-e-minus-4-across-the-board]])
- **Worksheet, not API, is the target** for chain tests
([[feedback-worksheet-not-api-reference]]) — except for the golden
fixtures, which intentionally pin against API-lodged values to
surface mapper gaps as residual drift.
- **Cross-mapper parity via cascade equivalence**: API EPC and
Elmhurst EPC must produce SAP within 1e-4 of each other AND of the
worksheet ([[feedback-cross-mapper-parity-via-cascade]]).
- **Spec-floor skepticism**: claims of "precision floor" usually mask
a spec-citation bug ([[feedback-spec-floor-skepticism]]). The three
Decimal HALF_UP bugs this session are case in point.
- **Bigger slices OK for uniform-cohort work** — the user explicitly
authorised this for the API-path closure
([[feedback-bigger-slices-for-uniform-work]]).
- **Golden residuals → ~0**: pinned PE/CO2 residuals at zero (or
documented why not) are the new bar ([[feedback-golden-residuals-near-zero]]).
- **AAA test convention** with literal `# Arrange / # Act / # Assert`
headers ([[feedback-aaa-test-convention]]).
- **`abs(diff) <= tol`** not `pytest.approx`
([[feedback-abs-diff-over-pytest-approx]]).
- **Spec citation in commit messages**
([[feedback-spec-citation-in-commits]]).
- **One slice = one commit; stage by name**
([[feedback-commit-per-slice]]).
- **Strict-enum raises on unmapped labels / unresolved cascade dispatch**.
- **Pyright net-zero per touched file**.

slicing + test conventions.
- [[project-summary-path-cohort-closure]] — cohort-1 ASHP closure context.
- [[project-cohort-2-summary-path-closure]] — cohort-2 Summary-path
closure context (now superseded — cohort-2 is 38/38 at HEAD).
- [[project-api-to-sap-residual-test]] — `test_golden_cert_residual_matches_pin`
is the forcing function; residuals re-pinned in Slice S0380.31 for cert 2636.
## First concrete actions for next agent
1. **Re-run the diagnostic probe** to confirm baseline reproduces
(38/38 cohort-2 Summary path; 9/9 cohort-1 ASHP; 712 pass + 0
fails on the test suite).
2. **Slice A — Bulk-fetch cohort-2 API JSONs.** Write
`scripts/fetch_cohort2_api_jsons.py` (skeleton above), run it once
to land 38 JSON fixtures, commit them as a single slice. The
script can stay in `scripts/` or be deleted post-run; do NOT add
it to the test suite.
3. **Slice B — Parametrized API-path chain test.** Add ONE
parametrized test that mirrors the Summary-path sweep. The
parametrize list bootstraps from the diagnostic probe above (38
`(cert_dir, ws_sap)` pairs). Expect most certs to pass at 1e-4
immediately; iterate on any remaining residuals one slice at a
time per the existing pattern.
4. **Thread the golden-residuals-near-zero target through subsequent
slices.** For any cohort-2 cert whose chain-test SAP closes at
1e-4 but whose API-lodged PE / CO2 doesn't match the cascade at
~1e-2, that's the next residual to chase. The ASHP cohort PE
cluster at -7..-15 kWh/m² is the largest single thread — same root
cause likely affects every Mitsubishi PUZ-WM50VHA cert.
5. **Tighten `_ASHP_COHORT_CHAIN_TOLERANCE` again** once API-path
parity is established. Current 1e-4 gives ~2x headroom on the
cohort-1 worst residual (cert 2225 4.8e-5). If the cohort-2 API
sweep produces similar headroom, the constant can drop to ~1e-5.
Good luck. The cohort distributions are in the strongest shape they've
ever been (Summary path 47/47 < 1e-4, API path 7/9 < 1e-4 with the rest
pending Slice A/B fetches), the test suite is 100% green, and the
remaining work is **uniform across certs** — cohort-2 API-path closure
+ golden-residuals-near-zero — so the user's "bigger slices" mandate
fits the work naturally. The §15 Decimal HALF_UP pattern is the most
likely candidate for any remaining +0.0007-scale residual.
