18aea8bdde 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.

92b0db9f16 Slice S0380.38: loosen FEE round-trip tolerance 1e-9 -> 1e-6
test_no_ac_cert_round_trips_fee_equals_space_heating_per_m2 encodes
a real SAP 10.2 invariant: when (108) = 0 (no fixed AC) and Appendix
H solar is absent (every cohort cert), (109) FEE must equal
space_heating_kwh / TFA.

The 1e-9 tolerance was too tight. The cascade computes:
  - FEE: sum_round_per_month(annual_98a) / TFA
  - space_heating_kwh: sum(monthly_98a_kwh) summed in calculator
The two paths sum the same 12 monthlies in different rounding
orders and disagree at ~8e-8 (cascade FEE = 95.39072333333334;
SH/TFA = 95.39072341347577).

1e-6 is two orders of magnitude tighter than any meaningful path
divergence (a stray 4-d.p. rounding step or unintended AC
contribution would blow past instantly) and ~12.5x looser than the
observed float-arithmetic drift, so the invariant still fires.

Also swaps pytest.approx for `abs(a - b) <= tol` per
[[feedback-abs-diff-over-pytest-approx]] (strict-pyright flags
pytest.approx as partially-unknown; nets -1 error on the file).

Test baseline: 712 pass + 0 fails (was 712 + 1).

a774188680 Slice S0380.37: drop cert 001479 hand-built fixture — covered by passing production-path chain tests
Cert 001479 was added in ee98dbe0 as "skeleton + 11 RED pins" — a
hand-built EpcPropertyData intended to cascade to worksheet
P960-0001-001479.pdf at 1e-4 for 9 SapResult fields. The skeleton
was never finished; the 9 _FIXTURE_PINS pin-checks have been red
the entire time (at HEAD: sap_score 65 vs 69, space_heating
9715 vs 8104 kWh, etc.).

Meanwhile the production-path chain tests for the same cert have
landed at 1e-4 vs the worksheet's continuous SAP 69.0094 and are
GREEN at HEAD:
  - test_summary_001479_full_chain_sap_matches_worksheet_pdf_exactly
    (Summary PDF -> extractor -> mapper -> calc, 1e-4 vs worksheet)
  - test_api_001479_full_chain_sap_matches_worksheet_pdf_exactly
    (API JSON -> mapper -> calc, 1e-4 vs worksheet)
  - 5 test_summary_001479_*_<detail> mapper-shape unit tests

These exercise the actual from_elmhurst_site_notes /
from_api_response code paths the production runtime uses, which
is strictly stronger coverage than a hand-built mirror.

Drops 001479 from _FIXTURE_PINS / _FIXTURE_MODULES and deletes the
stub _elmhurst_worksheet_001479.py. Also fixes the stale "Slice
62 iteration" reference in test_summary_pdf_mapper_chain.py.

Test baseline: 9 fewer fails (10 -> 1; remaining FEE-round-trip
1e-9 noise to be fixed in S0380.38).

4b22f56d45 Slice S0380.35: round gross-wall and party-wall areas in Decimal arithmetic per RdSAP10 §15 — closes cohort-2 cert 2800 / 4800 +0.0007 SAP residuals
RdSAP10 §15 p.66 (Rounding of data):
    "All element areas (gross) including window areas and
     conservatory wall area: 2 d.p."

Certs 2800 and 4800 lodge heat_loss_perimeter = 21.25 m and
room_height = 2.30 m. The exact-decimal products
    21.25 * 2.30 = 48.8750 (gross wall area)
     6.25 * 2.30 = 14.3750 (party wall area)
sit ON the HALF_UP rounding boundary and must round to 48.88
and 14.38 m^2. Float representation drops them BELOW the
boundary:
    21.25 (float) * 2.30 (float) ~= 48.87499...
                       HALF_UP 2 d.p. = 48.87
     6.25 (float) * 2.30 (float) ~= 14.37499...
                       HALF_UP 2 d.p. = 14.37
The 0.01 m^2 area shortfall feeds into (29a) net wall area and
(32) party wall area, and into (31) total external area for
(36) thermal bridging — propagating a +0.0007 SAP residual via
the U-weighted heat-loss sums.

Adds `_decimal_round_half_up_sum` helper and routes both
gross-wall and party-wall sums through it, mirroring the
S0380.34 fix on `_living_area_fraction`. Certs that sit off
the .005 boundary (i.e. nearly all) are unaffected; certs
that land on it close from +0.0007 → <5e-5.

Cohort-2 distribution after S0380.31..S0380.35:
    38 exact (was 36 exact + 2 <=0.07).
Cohort-1 ASHP cohort: 9/9 <1e-4 (unchanged).

61c215bf1f Slice S0380.34: round living area in Decimal arithmetic per RdSAP10 §15 — closes cert 2536 +0.0007 SAP residual
RdSAP10 §15 p.66 (Rounding of data):
    "All internal floor areas and living area: 2 d.p."

Cert 2536 (3 habitable rooms → Table 27 fraction 0.30,
TFA 45.65 m^2) sits ON the HALF_UP rounding boundary:
    0.30 (exact) * 45.65 = 13.6950
    HALF_UP 2 d.p.        = 13.70
                            (worksheet fLA = 13.70 / 45.65 = 0.3001)

Float arithmetic drops the spec product BELOW the boundary:
    0.30 (binary) ~= 0.2999999...
    product ~= 13.69499...
    HALF_UP 2 d.p. = 13.69
                     (cascade fLA = 13.69 / 45.65 = 0.29989)

The 0.00021 fLA shortfall feeds straight into the worksheet
(91) -> (92) MIT blend, undershoots MIT by ~0.001 C, and
shaves 0.29 kWh off (98c) useful space heating — a +0.0007
SAP residual via the (211) main heating fuel x p/kWh.

Compute the product in Decimal so HALF_UP lands on the exact
.005 decimal boundary the spec defines. Certs that sit off the
boundary (e.g. 2800/4800: 0.30 x 46.87 = 14.0610 -> 14.06 in
both Decimal and float) are unaffected.

Cohort-2 distribution after S0380.31..S0380.34:
    36 exact + 2 <=0.07 (was 35 exact + 3 <=0.07).
Cert 2536: +0.000715 -> -9.2e-8.

The remaining 2800 / 4800 +0.0007 residuals come from a
different cause (off the HALF_UP boundary) — defer to a
separate slice.

1b12f995f8 Slice S0380.33: round synthesized PV kWp to 2 d.p. per RdSAP10 §15 — closes cert 6835 +0.015 SAP residual
RdSAP10 §15 p.66 (Rounding of data):
    "kWp for photovoltaics, etc.: 2 d.p."

Cert 6835 lodges Photovoltaic Supply as "Proportion of roof
area = 40" (no explicit kWp). Per RdSAP10 §11.1 b) p.60 the
cascade synthesizes kWp = 0.12 × PV area where PV area is
roof_area / cos(35°). For cert 6835:
    PV area = 36.9 × 0.40 / cos(35°) = 18.0186 m^2
    kWp unrounded = 0.12 x 18.0186  = 2.16224
    kWp at 2 d.p. = 2.16             (matches worksheet
                                       "Cells Peak = 2.16")

SAP 10.2 §M1 EPV = 0.8 x kWp x S x ZPV. With the 0.0022 kWp
delta the cascade was overstating PV generation by 1.5448 kWh/yr,
adding -0.20 GBP to (252) total PV credit, dropping (255) total
energy cost by 0.20, lowering ECF and raising SAP by +0.015.

Cohort-2 distribution after S0380.31..S0380.33:
    35 exact + 3 <=0.07 (was 34 + 4 at S0380.32 HEAD).
Cert 6835: +0.014534 -> -4.3e-5.

1c53451373 Slice S0380.32: route bare \"Extension\" window location to BP[1] per RdSAP10 §3 — closes cert 9380 +0.027 residual
RdSAP10 §3 p.17:
    "When specifying windows and doors, for each building part
     assessor allocates windows and doors to the corresponding
     wall (the appropriate main wall or each alternative wall).
     For each building part, software will deduct window/door
     areas contained in the relevant wall areas."

SAP 10.2 §3 p.16:
    "Wall area is the net area of walls after subtracting the
     area of windows and doors."

Cert 9380's Summary PDF lodges 2 windows on its single extension,
but pdftotext wraps "1st" onto a preceding layout line while
"Extension" lands on a separate line — the Elmhurst extractor
captures only the second token. `_window_bp_index` previously
matched "main" / "1st"-"4th" prefixes but fell through bare
"Extension" to BP[0] (main), causing the cascade to deduct ext1
windows from the main wall:
    Worksheet (29a): main 60.60 × 0.70 + ext1 18.25 × 0.53 = 52.0925
    Pre-fix cascade: main 59.01 × 0.70 + ext1 19.84 × 0.53 = 51.8222
                     Δ -0.27 W/K → SAP +0.027

This slice adds bare "extension" (when num_parts >= 2) as a sibling
to the ordinal-prefix matches. Closes cert 9380 +0.027 → -4.8e-6.

Cohort-2 distribution after S0380.31 + S0380.32:
    34 exact + 4 ≤0.07 (was 33 exact + 5 ≤0.07).

28e5265df2 Slice S0380.31: deduct alt-wall window opening from (31) net external area — closes cert 2636 cantilever residual -0.015 → -2.4e-6
SAP 10.2 Appendix K eqn (K2) p.84:
    HTB = y × Σ(Aexp)
where Aexp is "the total area of external elements calculated at
worksheet (31)". The worksheet (31) column header reads "Total NET
area of external elements" — net of openings.

Cert 2636 (dr87-0001-000898 line 187): (31) = 160.33 m² =
47.70 main net + 11.57 alt net + 42.92 roof + 39.18 ground floor
+ 3.74 cantilever + 11.52 windows + 3.70 doors.

Pre-fix cascade summed the alt-wall at its 12.76 m² gross (no
opening deduction) — (31) was 161.52, driving (36) to 24.228 vs
worksheet 24.0495 (Δ +0.1785 W/K). That drift propagated through
(39) HTC → MIT → space heating, leaving cert 2636 at Δ -0.015
SAP — the only ASHP cohort cert above the 1e-4 floor.

`alt_walls_total_area` aggregates per-alt-wall gross at line 736;
this slice subtracts `alt_window_area` from it in the (31) sum so
the alt-wall contribution is net, matching the (29a) net-area
convention already applied per-element to the A×U sums.

Cohort-1 ASHP cohort: 9/9 certs < 1e-4 Summary path (was 8/9 with
cert 2636 at -0.015). Cert 2636 API path also closes to < 1e-4 —
the bug was path-symmetric in the cascade, not in either mapper.
Cohort-2 unchanged at 33 exact + 5 ≤0.07.

8c269dbe2d docs: handover after S0380.26-30 precision-floor closure
Documents the 5-slice session that closed the prior handover's
"precision floor" cluster end-to-end:

  S0380.26  RdSAP10 §5.8 dry-lining adjustment (cert 7700)
  S0380.27  floor_construction_type → _main_floor_u_value (cert 9796)
  S0380.28  SAP 10.2 Appendix N fn 43 reciprocal η interpolation
            (closes the +0.03..+0.06 ASHP cluster cohort-wide)
  S0380.29  _ASHP_COHORT_CHAIN_TOLERANCE 0.07 → 0.04
  S0380.30  glazing codes 8-15 (RdSAP 21 schema) — closes API path
            cohort-1 +0.014..+0.031 cluster

Final state:
  Cohort-2 Summary path (38): 33 exact + 5 ≤0.07
  Cohort-1 ASHP cohort (7): 6/7 <1e-4 both Summary + API paths
  cert 2636 -0.015 (cantilever, path-symmetric) — only open thread

The prior `HANDOVER_CERT_0380_MIT_CASCADE.md` had concluded the
+0.04 ASHP cluster was unfixable without Elmhurst access; the
spec citation (SAP 10.2 Appendix N fn 43) was sitting in the same
PDF that handover referenced. Be skeptical of "spec-precision
floor" framing — see [[feedback-spec-floor-skepticism]].

452749091d Slice S0380.30: extend g_L + g⊥ Table 6b to RdSAP 21 codes 8-15 — closes API path cohort residual cluster
Per the RdSAP 21 schema in [datatypes/epc/domain/epc_codes.csv][1], the
`glazing_type` enum extends to 15 codes; the legacy SAP 10.2 Table 6b
cascade lookups in `internal_gains.py:106` and `solar_gains.py:178`
only knew codes 1-7. Every API-path cert in the cohort lodges
`glazing_type` via the RdSAP 21 numbering, and triple-glazed
lodgements surface as **code 14** ("triple glazing, installed 2022+").

Pre-slice the cascade fell through to the 0.80 / 0.76 double-glazed
defaults for codes 8-15:

  Internal gains g_L (Table 6b):
    code 14 → default 0.80 (DG)        vs spec 0.70 (TG)
    → daylight factor over-bonused → lighting kWh under-counted

  Solar gains g⊥ (Table 6b):
    code 14 → default 0.76 (DG)        vs spec 0.68 (TG)
    → solar gains over-counted

For cert 0350-2968-2650-2796-5255 (semi-detached, 9 triple-glazed
windows lodged as code 14), this drove:
  lighting_kwh_per_yr: cascade 221.79 vs Summary-path 228.44
    (-6.65 kWh/yr — daylight bonus too generous → lighting too low)
  space_heating_kwh_per_yr: cascade 7000.21 vs Summary-path 6996.94
    (+3.28 kWh/yr — extra solar gains lower HP demand)
  net ECF: -0.0022 vs Summary-path → SAP +0.031

Same mechanism on the other 5 cohort-1 ASHP API certs.

Fix: extend both lookup tables with the RdSAP 21 additions per the
schema CSV semantics:

  | code | description (RdSAP 21)          | g_L  | g⊥   |
  |------|----------------------------------|------|------|
  |  8   | triple glazing, known data      | 0.70 | 0.68 |
  |  9   | triple glazing, 2002-2022       | 0.70 | 0.68 |
  | 10   | triple glazing, pre-2002         | 0.70 | 0.68 |
  | 11   | secondary glazing, normal-E      | 0.80 | 0.76 |
  | 12   | secondary glazing, low-E         | 0.80 | 0.76 |
  | 13   | double glazing, 2022+            | 0.80 | 0.76 |
  | 14   | triple glazing, 2022+            | 0.70 | 0.68 |
  | 15   | single glazing, known data       | 0.90 | 0.85 |

Solar gains also adds code 7 (double known data) for
`_G_PERPENDICULAR_BY_GLAZING_TYPE` to align with the existing
`_G_LIGHT_BY_GLAZING_CODE` code-7 entry (which already mapped to
0.80 = double).

Outcome — Cohort-1 ASHP cohort API path:
  cert 0380:  +0.025  →  +1e-6     (close to exact)
  cert 0350:  +0.031  →  +2.2e-5   (close to exact)
  cert 2225:  +0.029  →  -4.8e-5   (close to exact)
  cert 2636:  +0.015  →  -0.015    (sign flip; cantilever-specific
                                    residual surfaces; same |Δ| as Summary)
  cert 3800:  +0.023  →  -2e-5     (close to exact)
  cert 9285:  +0.029  →  -3.4e-5   (close to exact)

5 of 6 API path certs now sit at <1e-4 vs worksheet. Cert 2636
matches its Summary-path residual (-0.015) — the cantilever fixture
has its own non-glazing residual to be diagnosed separately.

Cohort-2 Summary path unchanged (33 exact + 5 ≤0.07) — the cohort-2
certs lodge glazing codes 1-7 (RdSAP 17 numbering still surfaces in
Elmhurst Summary PDF lookups), so codes 8-15 only affect the
RdSAP-21-schema API path.

Golden API fixture pins updated to reflect the tightened cascade-vs-API
alignment (7 certs: 0380, 0350, 2225, 2636, 3800, 9285, 9418). SAP
integer residuals unchanged (all sit at +0).

Pyright net-zero on touched files (22 → 22).

Tests: 710 → **711** pass (+1 new: cert 0350 fixture-shape test for
glazing_type=14 routing to g⊥=0.68 with `total_solar_gains_monthly_w[0]
≈ 67.00 W` (vs pre-slice 74.88 W at the DG default), proving code 14
hits the triple-glazed Table 6b row.) 10 expected fails unchanged.

529100187e Slice S0380.28: SAP 10.2 Appendix N footnote 43 reciprocal η interpolation — closes the +0.03..+0.06 ASHP precision-floor cluster
Per SAP 10.2 Appendix N, PDF p.101 footnote 43 (line 7053):

  "For the efficiency values, the interpolated efficiency is the
  reciprocal of linear interpolation between the reciprocals of the
  efficiencies."

i.e. 1/η_interp = (1 − t)·1/η_low + t·1/η_high, the weighted harmonic
mean at t = (PSR − PSR_low) / (PSR_high − PSR_low). Cascade was using
**linear** interpolation directly on η — a +0.15..+0.25% over-estimate
in the typical PSR range (1.2..1.5) for ASHPs in the cohort.

Cohort fixture: cert 3336-2825-9400-0512-8292 (Mitsubishi PUZ-WM50VHA,
PCDB 104568). MIT/η-zone cascade matches worksheet EXACTLY (every line
86..92, every month), but η_main_heating cascade 225.443 vs worksheet
224.923 → main_heating_fuel +5.24 kWh/yr too high → ECF 1.5474 vs ws
1.5503 → SAP +0.04 vs worksheet 78.3739. Back-solving the worksheet's
η_main implies η_space_1 = 224.923 / 0.95 ≈ 236.76.

Closed form at PSR=1.40151, bracketing PCDB rows PSR 1.2
(η_space_1=253.9) and PSR 1.5 (η_space_1=229.2):
  Linear (pre-slice):     253.9 + (229.2 − 253.9) × 0.6717  = 237.31  ✗
  Reciprocal (footnote 43): 1 / ((1 − 0.6717)/253.9 + 0.6717/229.2)
                          = 1 / 0.004224                    = 236.74  ✓

The harmonic mean is curvature-aware: linear interpolation under-
penalises efficiency drops at higher PSR (η typically falls off as
PSR increases past the system's design point) by averaging on η
rather than 1/η. SAP 10.2 footnote 43 is explicit about which side
of the reciprocal the interpolation sits.

HANDOVER_CERT_0380_MIT_CASCADE.md is the linear-vs-reciprocal η

All SAP integer residuals unchanged (cascade tracks the EPC integer
SAP at residual 0 across the cohort).

PSR interpolation unit test (`test_interpolate_heat_pump_efficiency_at
_cert_0380_psr_per_sap_app_n`) updated to reflect the reciprocal
formula with the SAP-10.2-footnote-43 spec citation and closed-form

8b63087618 Slice S0380.27: thread floor_construction_type into _main_floor_u_value — closes cert 9796 +0.55 → +0.00174
Per RdSAP10 §5 page 29 "Floor infiltration (suspended timber ground
floor only)":

  Age band A-E:
    a) if floor U-value < 0.5, assume "sealed" → 0.1
    b) if retro-fit + no U → "sealed" → 0.1
    otherwise "unsealed" → 0.2

The cascade routes the (12) sealed/unsealed verdict through
`_main_floor_u_value`, which calls `u_floor` to compute the BS EN ISO
13370 U-value the spec rule keys on. That helper was a stale duplicate
of the real heat-transmission path that did NOT respect the per-bp
`floor_construction_type` lodgement:

  Pre-slice:  u_floor(construction=int_or_None, description=None, ...)
  Cascade:    u_floor(construction=int_or_None, description="Suspended
              timber" if floor_construction_type else <fallback>, ...)

For cert 9796-3058-6205-0346-9200 (Mid-Terrace bungalow age D,
46.87 m² / 15.0 m perimeter, suspended-timber lodged):
  - Broken `_main_floor_u_value` routes through the solid default
    (no description, construction=None) → BS EN ISO 13370 solid →
    U=0.49 W/m²K.
  - 0.49 < 0.5 → spec rule (a) fires → (12) = 0.1 (sealed).
  - Real heat-transmission cascade routes through the suspended branch
    via `effective_floor_description = floor_construction_type` →
    U=0.56 → unsealed → (12) = 0.2.

The 0.1 ach gap then propagated:
  (18) infiltration_rate 0.74 → ws 0.84 (cascade -0.10)
  (25)m Jan 0.82               → ws 0.91 (cascade -0.09)
  (38)m Jan 29.08 W/K          → ws 32.37 (cascade -3.29 W/K)
  (39) Jan 110.35 W/K          → ws 113.64 (cascade -3.29 W/K)
  HLP Jan 2.35 W/m²K           → ws 2.42 (cascade -0.07)
  T_h2 Jan 19.11°C             → ws 19.07 (cascade +0.04)
  MIT Jan 18.51°C              → ws 18.45 (cascade +0.06)
  SAP +0.55 vs worksheet 90.13.

Fix mirrors heat_transmission's `effective_floor_description` rule in
`_main_floor_u_value`: the per-bp `floor_construction_type` takes
precedence over a joined `epc.floors[].description` because it's the
explicit Elmhurst Summary §3/§9 surface. Inlined the description join
(vs importing `_joined_descriptions` from heat_transmission) so
cert_to_inputs stays free of cross-module private-symbol imports.

Cohort-2 outcome (38 certs, Summary path):
  exact (<1e-4): 23 → 23
  ≤±0.07:        14 → **15**  (+1: cert 9796 +0.55 → +0.00174)
  ±0.5..1:        1 → **0**   (last cohort-2 mid-range gap closes)

The remaining cert 9796 +0.00174 SAP residual is the cohort-1 HP-COP
precision floor (the same +0.001..+0.04 SAP that the other 10
triple-glazed HP certs sit at; see handover thread 3).

Cohort-1 golden fixture cert 8135-1728-8500-0511-3296 (Semi-detached
age C, suspended-timber ground floor with floor_construction=2 lodged
but description=None pre-slice) had the same bug:
  Pre-slice: u_floor returned 0.48 (solid branch via construction=2
             present-but-not-suspended) → false sealed verdict (12)=0.1
  Post-slice: u_floor returns 0.54 (suspended branch via description=
              "Suspended timber") → correct unsealed verdict (12)=0.2
  PE residual:  -4.9611 → **-0.0748** kWh/m² (+4.89 closer to API EPC)
  CO2 residual: -0.0678 → **+0.0246** t/yr  (closer to API EPC)
  SAP residual: 0 → 0 (unchanged, EPC integer)

Pin updated on cert 8135 to reflect the new (correct) cascade-vs-API
alignment; no other golden fixtures shifted.

Pyright net-zero per touched file:
  cert_to_inputs.py:                  35 → 35

9fbbad9068 Slice S0380.26: RdSAP10 §5.8 dry-lining adjustment on alt walls — closes cert 7700 -0.44 → +5e-5
Per RdSAP10 §5.8 final note + Table 14 page 41:

  "For drylining including laths and plaster use Rinsulation = 0.17 m²K/W."

Applied additively to the base U-value of an otherwise-uninsulated wall:

  U_adjusted = 1 / (1/U_base + 0.17)  — rounded to 2 d.p. half-up.

Closed form for the cohort fixture (cavity-as-built age C, U_base=1.5):

  1 / (1/1.5 + 0.17) = 1.19522... → 1.20 ✓ matches worksheet

Cert 7700-3362-0922-7022-3563 (Summary_000905.pdf / dr87-0001-000905.pdf)
is an End-Terrace house age C lodging:
  - Main wall: CavityWallDensePlasterDenseBlock, Filled Cavity, U=0.70
  - Alt wall 1: 14.44 m² Cavity As-Built, Dry-lining: Yes (worksheet
    `CavityWallPlasterOnDabsDenseBlock`, U=1.20)

Pre-slice the Elmhurst alt-wall mapper hard-coded `wall_dry_lined="N"`
and the cascade ignored the field everywhere — alt-wall U routed to the
cavity-as-built default (1.50), giving fabric (33) 148.72 W/K vs
worksheet 144.38 (Δ +4.33 W/K = ~+0.44 SAP). Worksheet "SAP value" line
lodges unrounded SAP 63.4425.

Implementation:
  1. `AlternativeWall.dry_lined: bool = False` on the Elmhurst surveys
     dataclass.
  2. Elmhurst extractor reads "Alternative Wall N Dry-lining: Yes/No"
     into the new field.
  3. `_map_elmhurst_alternative_wall` propagates `wall_dry_lined="Y"`
     instead of the hard-coded "N".
  4. `u_wall` gains a `dry_lined: bool = False` kwarg and a single
     §5.8 adjustment site at the as-built bucket (bucket=0). Insulated
     buckets already absorb the dry-lining R via Table 14.
  5. `_alt_wall_w_per_k` passes `dry_lined=alt_wall.wall_dry_lined == "Y"`.

Scope is the alt-wall path only — main BPs in the corpus all lodge
`wall_dry_lined="N"` (or the Summary PDF omits the field for the main
wall), so the main-wall call site is untouched. Conservative regression
posture per the user's strict cohort-pin convention.

Cohort-2 outcome (38 certs, Summary path):
  exact (<1e-4): 22 → **23**  (+1: cert 7700 -0.44 → +4.87e-05)
  0.07..0.5:      1 → **0**   (-1: cert 7700 closes out)
  0.5..1:         1 → 1       (cert 9796 unchanged — MIT precision floor)
  RAISES:         0 → 0

Cohort-1 ASHP cohort untouched: all certs lodge wall_dry_lined="N", so
the alt-wall call site short-circuits to the original cascade. Verified
no regressions across the 22 previously-exact cohort-2 certs either.

Pyright net-zero on all 8 touched files (183 → 183).

Tests: 704 → 708 pass (+4 new: u_wall §5.8 adjustment fires
correctly; cavity-as-built unchanged without flag; insulated bucket
unaffected by flag; heat_transmission alt-wall delta = 14.44 × 0.30
W/K; cert 7700 full chain hits worksheet 63.4425 at < 1e-4),
10 expected fails unchanged.

  - Per-BP roof exposure (Ext1 flat roof on flats)
  - RdSAP §11.1 b) % of roof area PV synthesis
  - SAP code 631 → house coal secondary fuel
  - SAP codes 2111/2113 → control type 2

Cohort-2 outcome: 22/38 exact (<1e-4), max residual ±0.55 SAP,
0 RAISES, 0 big-gaps. All structural cascade gaps closed.

Open threads diagnosed in detail:
  1. Cert 7700 -0.44 SAP — wall U code conflict
     (_WALL_INSULATION_NONE=4 vs Elmhurst "As Built"=4). Wider than
     a single slice; needs regression testing.
  2. Cert 9796 +0.55 SAP — MIT precision floor (Mid-Terrace
     bungalow + HP, +0.06°C across all months). Same mechanism as
     cohort-1 HP-COP residuals.
  3. API-path closure for all 38 certs (deferred).
  4. Tighten cohort-1 chain tests to 1e-4 once thread 2 closes.

474052d303 Slice S0380.25: SAP codes 2111/2113 are type 2 not type 3 — closes 0652 + 6835
Per SAP 10.2 spec page 171 Table 4e "Heating system controls" — boiler
systems with radiators (Group 1):
  2110: "Time and temperature zone control by arrangement of plumbing
        and electrical services"                          → type 3
  2111: "TRVs and bypass"                                 → type 2

  2113: "Room thermostat and TRVs"                        → type 2

`_CONTROL_TYPE_BY_CODE` previously bucketed 2111 + 2113 with the type 3
codes, but neither lodges any time-zone control — they're TRV-class
controls (closer to programmer + room thermostat). The misclassification
propagated through SAP 10.2 Table 9 to swap the elsewhere-zone
off-period pattern from (7, 8) to (9, 8) — i.e. the spec's "heating
0700-0900 and 1800-2300" pattern (footnote b) instead of "heating
0700-0900 and 1600-2300" (footnote a). Under-counted MIT by ~0.67 °C
across the year, dropping space-heating demand and over-predicting SAP:
  - cert 0652-3022-1205-2826-1200: +1.93 → -1e-5
  - cert 6835-3920-2509-0933-5226: +0.72 → +0.015

  ±1..5:          1 → **0**   (-1: cert 0652 closes out)

No cohort-1 regressions (all certs there use codes 2106 / 2206;

9a091234cf Slice S0380.23: RdSAP §11.1 b) PV %-of-roof-area synthesis — closes cert 6835 -13.37 → +0.72
RdSAP 10 specification page 60 §11.1 b) (Photovoltaics): "If the kWp
(or DNC) is not known use the following: PV area is roof area for
heat loss (before amendment for any room-in-roof), times percent of
roof area covered by PVs, and if pitched roof divided by cos(35°).
If there is an extension, the roof area is adjusted by the cosine
factor only for those parts having a pitched roof. kWp is 0.12 ×
PV area. If not provided in the RdSAP data set then facing South,
pitch 30°, modest overshading."

Wire-through:
  1. `Renewables.pv_percent_roof_area: Optional[int]` — new field on
     the Elmhurst site-notes dataclass.
  2. Elmhurst extractor `_extract_renewables` parses Summary §19.0
     row "Proportion of roof area" (cert 6835: "40").
  3. Elmhurst mapper `from_elmhurst_site_notes` surfaces it through
     `epc.sap_energy_source.photovoltaic_supply.none_or_no_details
     .percent_roof_area` — mirrors the API mapper's lodgement shape.
  4. `cert_to_inputs._synthesize_pv_arrays_from_percent_roof_area`
     synthesizes a single PV array via the spec formula when
     `photovoltaic_arrays` is empty AND a `percent_roof_area > 0`
     lodgement is present. Fires inside
     `_pv_generation_kwh_per_yr`, so both rating + demand cascades
     pick it up.

Cohort-2 outcome (38 certs, Summary path):
  exact (<1e-4): 20 → 20

Cert 6835 verified end-to-end:

    (worksheet "Cells Peak = 2.16, Orientation = South, Elevation =

  - Cascade PV generation = 1493.88 kWh/yr vs worksheet 1492.33
    (<0.1% delta — kWp-rounding artefact).
  - Cascade SAP 80.92 vs worksheet 80.20 (+0.72, in the ±0.5..1 band).

The residual +0.72 likely traces to the PV-cost cascade's
used-in-dwelling / exported split rather than the synthesis — the
kWh figure is within rounding of the worksheet.

7136edf2fb Slice S0380.22: per-BP roof exposure — closes cert 0036 Ext1 flat roof
For multi-BP dwellings the dwelling-level `exposure.has_exposed_roof`
flag (derived from `dwelling_type` via `_dwelling_exposure`) zeroed
out ALL BPs' roof contributions uniformly. That's wrong when a flat
has an extension with its own external roof — e.g. ground-floor flat
with a single-storey extension whose flat roof is exposed.

Replace the global suppression with a per-BP signal:
  - Per-BP `roof_construction_type` containing "another dwelling
    above" → that BP's roof is party → suppress.
  - Otherwise BP 0 (Main) falls back to the dwelling-level flag
    (covers flat lodgements that don't explicitly mark the Main
    roof type).
  - Extensions (i > 0) expose their roof by default unless their
    own roof_construction_type lodges as party.

Cohort cert 0036-6325-1100-0063-1226 (ground-floor flat, age D):
  - Main lodges roof_construction_type = "Another dwelling above"
    → contributes 0 W/K (matches worksheet line (30) "External roof
    Main 57.93 m² × U=0 = 0.0").
  - Ext1 lodges roof_construction_type = "Flat" → contributes
    1.09 m² × U=2.30 = 2.507 W/K (matches worksheet "External roof
    Ext1 1.09 m² × U=2.30 = 2.507", spec line (30)).
  - Cascade SAP closes from +0.2987 → -6e-6 vs worksheet 62.7471.

Houses + bungalows are unaffected: dwelling-level flag stays True
and the per-BP guard only activates on explicit party-roof lodgement.
Single-BP flat tests stay correct: the per-BP guard is a no-op when
no roof_construction_type is lodged (i==0 → falls back to dwelling-
level flag).

Spec citation:
  - RdSAP 10 §3 / §5.11 — heat-loss surfaces and party-roof
    treatment. SAP 10.2 spec line (30) sums external roofs only;
    party roofs sit in the (32) party-element channel with U=0.

1abc339848 docs: handover for Table 3a no-keep-hot continuation + SAP 10 spec PDFs
Adds the next-agent handover and the BRE technical papers referenced
by the cohort-2 negative-band investigation:

  - `HANDOVER_TABLE_3A_NO_KEEP_HOT.md` — picks up from Slice S0380.20.
    Covers cohort distribution at HEAD `4879e8c3`, the verified
    Table 3a Row 1 spec formula `(61)m = 600 × fu × nm / 365`, the
    dispatch recipe for `pcdb_combi_loss_override`, watch-outs (cert
    0360 / cohort-1 cert 000490 behaviour after the slice lands), the
    diagnostic probe script, test baselines, and the open-thread
    priority list (Ext1 roof, HP-COP, big-gap 2102, API path, parity).

  - `specs/STP09-B04_Combi_boiler_tests.pdf` — 2009 BRE methodology
    paper (Alan Shiret, BRE) defining the combi-loss test programme
    that produced the SAP Table 3a 600/900 kWh/yr keep-hot assumptions.
    Source: https://bregroup.com/documents/d/bre-group/stp09-b04_combi
    _boiler_tests.

  - `specs/sap10 technical papers/S10TP-{02..13}.pdf` — full SAP 10
    supporting technical paper set (Issue 1.2 / 1.3 / 1.4 across the
    eight papers). S10TP-12 §9.4 confirms: "No changes to the SEDBUK
    calculation method for water heating efficiency were considered
    necessary" — so the STP09-B04 (SAP 2009) Table 3a methodology
    carries through to SAP 10 unchanged.

These docs replace web-fetched references with locally-tracked copies
so the slice S0380.21 implementor can grep / pdftotext them directly.

0adb34eaf2 Slice S0380.20: extract PCDB keep-hot fields + strict-raise for no-keep-hot combis
Surfaces the SAP 10.2 Appendix J Table 3a sub-row dispatch gap that
masked +0.2..+0.4 SAP residuals on 11 cohort-2 PCDB-listed combi
certs. Identified via cert 7800-1501-0922-7127-3563 (Potterton Promax
Combi 28 HE Plus A, PCDF 15709): cascade used the keep-hot 600 kWh/yr
default; worksheet (61) sums to ~428 kWh/yr via the no-keep-hot
sub-row formula.

Root cause: the PCDB Table 105 record carries keep-hot metadata at
field positions 58 (`keep_hot_facility`) and 59 (`keep_hot_timer`)
per the SAP 10 PCDB spec (private feed for SAP software vendors —
not surfaced on the public PCDB website nor the Open EPC API). The
parser preserved these in `raw=fields` but didn't surface them as
typed attributes, so the cascade had no signal to dispatch the right
Table 3a sub-row.

Two-part change:

1. `domain/sap10_calculator/tables/pcdb/parser.py` — adds typed
   `keep_hot_facility` and `keep_hot_timer` fields to
   `GasOilBoilerRecord`, parsed from fields[57] and fields[58].
   Field enums (per BRE STP09-B04 + SAP 10 PCDB spec):
     Field 58: 0=no keep-hot, 1=fuel keep-hot, 2=electric keep-hot,
               3=gas+electric keep-hot
     Field 59: 0=no timer, 1=overnight time-switch
   Verified against cohort-1 fixture 000490 (Vaillant Ecotec Pro 28,
   PCDF 10328) — record lodges keep_hot_facility=1, keep_hot_timer=1,
   exactly matching the hand-built fixture comment "Combi keep hot
   type = Gas/Oil, time clock" at `_elmhurst_worksheet_000490.py:
   277-280`.

2. `domain/sap10_calculator/rdsap/cert_to_inputs.py` — adds
   `UnresolvedPcdbCombiLoss` exception. `pcdb_combi_loss_override`
   now raises (instead of silently returning None) when the PCDB
   record has `separate_dhw_tests=0/None` AND
   `keep_hot_facility=0/None`. The cascade's only implemented Table
   3a row is "with keep-hot, time clock" (600 kWh/yr), which is the
   wrong spec row for no-keep-hot combis — silently using it masked
   the cohort-2 negative band.

The ETL was re-run to refresh `pcdb_table_105_gas_oil_boilers.jsonl`
with the new typed fields (raw fields unchanged, just additional
columns surfacing what was previously buried).

Cohort distribution after slice:

  cohort-1 cert 000490 (Vaillant PCDF 10328, kh=1): NO RAISE — cascade
    keep-hot 600 default IS the spec-correct row. Tests still GREEN.
  cohort-2: 10 exact + 13 sub-±0.07 + 2 ±0.07..0.5 + 1 ±0.5..1 +
            1 ±5+ + 11 RAISES.

The 11 raising certs are now blocked until the Table 3a no-keep-hot
sub-row is implemented (BRE STP09-B04 methodology — pending slice).
Previously these certs silently produced +0.2..+0.4 SAP errors AND
ranged into the big-gap band; raising surfaces the gap rather than
shipping wrong numbers.

Two golden cert tests blocked alongside (Firebird oil PCDF 9005 also
hits this path):
  - test_golden_cert_residual_matches_pin[0390-2954-3640-2196-4175]
  - test_api_to_domain_mapper_preserves_main_heating_index_number[0390-2954-3640-2196-4175]
Re-enable when the Table 3a no-keep-hot row lands.

Two other tests updated:
  - test_main_heating_index_number_in_pcdb_overrides_seasonal_efficiency:
    switched from Baxi 98 (sdt=0, kh=None, would raise) to Worcester
    PCDF 10241 (sdt=1, routes via Table 3b row 1). Asserts 0.885 not
    0.66.
  - test_pcdb_combi_loss_override_returns_none_or_raises_for_untested
    _or_storage_combis: renamed + extended to pin the new strict-raise
    behaviour.

Pyright net-zero per file:
  - domain/sap10_calculator/rdsap/cert_to_inputs.py: 35 (baseline 35)
  - domain/sap10_calculator/tables/pcdb/parser.py: 0

Regression baseline: 697 pass + 10 fail (= prior 699 + 10 - 2 dropped

15b3df1778 Slice S0380.19: count Elmhurst shower outlets by type (no more hardcoded 1)
Surfaces the lodged shower multiplicity from the Elmhurst Summary §16
on the EPC. Previously `_map_elmhurst_sap_heating` hardcoded:

  electric_shower_count = 1 if has_electric_shower else None
  mixer_shower_count    = 0 if has_electric_shower else None

losing the count for any cert with ≥ 2 outlets. Cert
7800-1501-0922-7127-3563 lodges TWO instantaneous electric showers
("Shower 01" + "Shower 11") but the mapper produced
`electric_shower_count=1`. After this slice:

  electric_shower_count = Σ(s for s in showers if s.outlet_type
                              == "Electric shower")
  mixer_shower_count    = Σ(s for s in showers if s.outlet_type
                              != "Electric shower")

**Cascade SAP effect:** None on cert 7800. Appendix J's eq J16
(`N_ES,per_outlet = N_shower / N_outlets`) and eq J18 (Σ_j E_ES,j)
are symmetric in N_electric_showers when there are no mixer outlets,
so the lodged (64a) kWh and (247a) cost are unchanged. The fix is
correctness-by-construction, not a delta-closer for the negative-band
certs (their +0.69 GBP total-cost gap traces to the gas hot-water
kWh path — separate slice).

**Hand-built fixture updates (5):** the cohort-1 hand-builts at
`domain/sap10_calculator/worksheet/tests/_elmhurst_worksheet_*.py`
previously omitted `electric_shower_count` / `mixer_shower_count`
(implicitly None), which matched the mapper's pre-slice None
sentinel. Updated each to the lodged counts the mapper now surfaces:
  000474: 1 mixer  → (0, 1)
  000477: 1 mixer  → (0, 1)
  000480: 1 mixer  → (0, 1)
  000490: 1 mixer  → (0, 1)
  000516: 1 mixer  → (0, 1)
000487 (already at (1, 0) for an electric-shower lodging) unchanged.

Tests:
- `test_summary_7800_two_electric_showers_count_as_two_not_one` —
  pins the multi-shower mapping for cert 7800 (Summary_000890.pdf).
- 5 hand-built field-parity tests
  (`test_from_elmhurst_site_notes_matches_hand_built_*`) now pass at
  the new integer counts instead of None.

Pyright net-zero per file:
- datatypes/epc/domain/mapper.py: 32 (baseline 32)
- backend/documents_parser/tests/test_summary_pdf_mapper_chain.py: 0

Regression baseline: 699 pass + 10 fail (= prior 698 + 10 + 1 new).

Spec refs:
- SAP 10.2 Appendix J §1a — outlet counting drives `N_outlets` used
  in eq J6/J7 (mixer shower water draw) and eq J16/J17/J18 (electric
  shower energy).

33ae3cc693 Slice S0380.18: u_party_wall flat default per RdSAP10 Table 15 footnote*
Closes cert 0036-6325-1100-0063-1226 (the cohort's first FLAT fixture)
from Δ -0.3737 → +0.2987 by applying the RdSAP 10 Table 15 footnote *
rule: flats/maisonettes with unknown party-wall construction default
to U=0.0 W/m²K (both sides are heated dwellings, no heat loss).

Worksheet dr87-0001-000910.pdf line ref (32) lodges:
    Party walls Main   24.13 m²   U=0.00   A×U = 0.0000 W/K
matching the Table 15 footnote *. The cascade was applying the U=0.25
*house* default to this lodging because:
  - Elmhurst Summary lodged `party_wall_type='U Unable to determine'`
  - mapper translated it to `party_wall_construction=0` (the cross-
    mapper-parity "unknown" sentinel)
  - `u_party_wall(0)` fell through to `return 0.25` (the final-branch
    default — same path as `u_party_wall(None)`)

That produced cascade `party_walls_w_per_k = 24.13 × 0.25 = 6.03` W/K
of heat-loss excess, propagating through (39) HTC → (97)..(98c) space
heat demand → (211) main fuel kWh → (255) total cost → (257) ECF →
(258) SAP rating. Net effect: cascade SAP 62.3734 vs worksheet 62.7471.

Two-part fix:

1. `domain/sap10_ml/rdsap_uvalues.py:u_party_wall` — add
   `is_flat: bool = False` keyword argument. When True AND
   `party_wall_construction in (None, 0)` (both the API-mapper None
   path and the Elmhurst-mapper 0 sentinel for "Unable to determine"),
   return 0.0 instead of the house default 0.25. Spec citation: RdSAP
   10 Table 15 footnote * ("for flats and maisonettes with unknown
   party-wall construction").

2. `domain/sap10_calculator/worksheet/heat_transmission.py` — wire
   the cascade to pass `is_flat=_is_flat_or_maisonette(epc.property
   _type)`. Adds a new helper `_is_flat_or_maisonette` distinct from
   the existing `_is_house` (which excludes bungalows from
   *cantilever* detection — bungalows ARE houses for party-wall
   purposes per the spec). The new helper checks both the descriptive
   form ("Flat" / "Maisonette") and the SAP schema enum-as-string
   form ("2" / "3" — per `datatypes/epc/domain/epc_codes.csv
   property_type` rows: 0=House, 1=Bungalow, 2=Flat, 3=Maisonette,
   4=Park home).

The schema-enum collision was the bug-fix-with-a-bug: an initial
implementation used "1"/"2" (Flat/Maisonette per intuition) but those
are actually Bungalow/Flat per the schema, which routed all 10
bungalow certs onto the flat path. Corrected pre-commit.

Cohort-2 Summary-path delta after slice:

  cert 0036  (Flat)      Δ -0.3737  →  Δ +0.2987   ✓ improved by +0.67
  10 bungalow certs                  unchanged (correctly NOT flat)
  5 non-flat house certs in band     unchanged (different root cause —
                                     next slice)

Bungalow certs (cohort 1 + 2) verified unchanged at delta ≤ +0.04 each.

Tests added (5):
- `test_u_party_wall_unknown_for_flat_returns_table15_footnote_zero`
  pins the spec rule on the helper.
- `test_u_party_wall_unknown_sentinel_zero_treated_as_unknown_for_flat`
  pins the Elmhurst-mapper `0` sentinel parity.
- `test_u_party_wall_known_solid_still_returns_zero_when_is_flat_false`
  pins precedence: explicit Solid code overrides the is_flat flag.
- `test_summary_0036_flat_unknown_party_wall_routes_to_u_zero` chain-
  test through `from_elmhurst_site_notes` + cert_to_inputs +
  calculate_sap_from_inputs to assert `party_walls_w_per_k == 0` at
  1e-4 tolerance.

69668ec634 Slice S0380.16: add 'Normal' → cylinder_size=2 (110 L) for cohort 2
Unblocks two 38-cert-cohort certs that previously raised
`UnmappedElmhurstLabel("cylinder_size", 'Normal')` at extraction:
  cert 2536-2525-0600-0788-2292  ws SAP=79.7264
  cert 9421-3045-3205-1646-6200  ws SAP=87.4495

Both Summary §15.1 lodgements read "Cylinder Size: Normal"; both dr87
worksheets lodge line ref (47) "Store volume = 110.0000" L (extracted
from `Hot Water Cylinder → Cylinder Volume 110.00`). RdSAP 10 §10.5
Table 28 documents the "Normal (90-130 litres)" descriptor whose
midpoint is 110 L — the canonical Elmhurst label string in
`datatypes/epc/surveys/elmhurst_site_notes.py` is "Normal (90-130
litres)", and the worksheet's exact 110 L matches the midpoint.

Two-line fix:
  +    "Normal": 2,           in `_ELMHURST_CYLINDER_SIZE_LABEL_TO_SAP10`
  +    2: 110.0,              in `_CYLINDER_SIZE_CODE_TO_LITRES`

The cascade enum 2 is consistent with the existing
`cert_to_inputs.py` docstring's documented (but not-yet-observed)
code 2 → Normal slot, alongside code 3 (Medium / 160 L) and code 4
(Large / 210 L) added in earlier slices.

Slice keeps tight: two mapping unit tests pinning `cylinder_size == 2`
for both certs at extraction. Post-fix the first-attempt cascade
deltas vs worksheet are:
  cert 2536  Δ +0.0244   (was: RAISES)
  cert 9421  Δ +0.0296   (was: RAISES)

Both deltas now sit in the same systematic +0.02..+0.07 small-gap
band as ~12 other first-attempt certs in cohort 2 — chain test +
±0.07 pin would just paper over a known systematic residual that the
user has explicitly asked to drive towards 1e-4, not toward ±0.07.
Following slice will investigate the shared systematic offset and
close cert 2536 / 9421 along with the rest of the +0.04 band on
the chain.

Pyright net-zero per file:
  - datatypes/epc/domain/mapper.py: 32 (baseline 32)
  - domain/sap10_calculator/rdsap/cert_to_inputs.py: 35 (baseline 35)

Regression baseline: 691 pass + 10 fail (= prior 689 + 10 + 2 new GREEN).

c732c21836 docs: handover — Summary + API cohort expansion to 38 additional certs
Hands off the next workstream: the 38 cert subdirs at
`sap worksheets/additional with api 2/`. Each subdir is named after
the 20-digit EPC cert reference and contains a Summary PDF + dr87
worksheet PDF. API JSONs are NOT in the dataset but ARE fetchable
via the existing `EpcClientService` (token in `backend/.env` as
`OPEN_EPC_API_TOKEN`).

User's stated ordering: Elmhurst Summary mapping FIRST, API path
SECOND. Folder names = cert refs; need to verify the matching before
bulk-pinning (any mis-filed PDF would silently invalidate slice
work).

Handover ships with verified dataset and first-attempt baselines:

  - Folder-vs-cert sweep: **38/38 match** at handover (postcode
    parity check between Summary PDF and Open EPC API).
  - First-attempt Summary-path probe across 38 certs:
      24  closed at ±0.07 (first-try, zero new slices needed)
       9 ~ small gap (<1 SAP) — likely 1 slice each
       3 ✗ big gap (>1 SAP) — multi-slice investigation
       2 RAISES UnmappedElmhurstLabel: cylinder_size='Normal'

The two `Normal` cylinder raises are the immediate Phase 1 slice —
Slice S0380.15's strict-enum pattern paid off on its first new
cohort by surfacing the gap at extraction time instead of as a
downstream SAP delta.

Workstream phases documented in the handover:

  Phase 0: folder-vs-cert sweep (already done — 38/38)
  Phase 1: fix 'Normal' cylinder unmapped-label raise
  Phase 2: bulk-pin the 24 first-try-closures as chain tests
  Phase 3: close the 9 small-gap certs one slice each
  Phase 4: investigate the 3 big-gap certs (likely HP-routing)
  Phase 5: fetch + persist API JSON for all 38, run API path tests
  Phase 6: cross-mapper EPC parity (Summary EPC ≡ API EPC) — the
    user's stated north-star

395ad30c48 Slice S0380.13: widen cantilever gate to accept "House" descriptive form
Closes cert 2636 to spec floor (Δ +0.5167 → +0.0323) by accepting
both the EPC schema enum-as-string ("0") AND the Elmhurst Summary
mapper's descriptive form ("House") for the cantilever-detection
property-type gate at `heat_transmission.py:768`.

Root cause: slice 102f-prep.9 (commit 06b4ef3d) added cantilever
detection gated on `epc.property_type == _PROPERTY_TYPE_HOUSE` where
`_PROPERTY_TYPE_HOUSE = "0"`. That matches the API mapper's encoding
(schema enum), but the Summary mapper produces "House" (descriptive)
and the hand-built worksheet fixtures also use "House" — so neither
triggers the gate and the cantilever path silently no-ops on the
Summary path. Cert 2636's worksheet (28b) "Exposed floor Main 3.74
× 1.20 = 4.4880" is the cantilever — without surfacing it the
cascade missed 4.488 W/K of floor heat loss.

Three-encoding origins:
- API mapper:        property_type='0'      (schema enum-as-string)
- Summary mapper:    property_type='House'  (descriptive from §1)
- Hand-built fixtures: property_type='House' (legacy convention)

Fix: replace the equality check with a `_is_house()` helper that
accepts the {"0", "House"} frozenset. Centralised so future
property-type sensitive gates can call the same helper.

Forcing function: cert 2636 first-attempt Summary SAP closes from
Δ +0.5167 (after S0380.12 walls fix) to Δ **+0.0323** — within the
±0.07 ASHP-cohort spec floor. `floor_w_per_k` moves from 19.1982
(ground floor only) to 23.6862 (ground 19.20 + cantilever 4.49 =
worksheet (28a) + (28b) exact match).

18f8e0f6c5 docs: handover — start cert 0380 Summary → EPC → calculator path
The 7-cert ASHP cohort API path is closed at the spec-precision
floor (this session). Next workstream is the Summary path for cert
0380 — the user's preferred starting point because the Summary +
worksheet PDFs surface labelled intermediate values that the API
path lacks.

Cert 0380 Summary PDF (`Summary_000899.pdf`) is already in the
test fixtures dir; just needs a path constant + RED chain test.
Previous handover flagged the extractor at Δ -58.37 SAP for HPs
— the immediate diagnostic is whether the mapper surfaces
main_heating_category=4 and main_heating_index_number=104568.

The handover also documents the user's "Elmhurst-specific"
challenge worth re-exploring: closed boiler certs hit 1e-4 vs
Elmhurst via the same cascade, so the residual is precisely at the
Appendix N3.6 PSR interpolation step. Cross-check with the BRE
xlsx canonical calculator is suggested.

8b5a8db7e1 docs: handover refresh — cohort closed to spec-precision floor
Updates the handover with the final state after 11 slices:
- All 7 ASHP cohort certs cascade SAP integer == lodged (residual 0).
- Continuous SAP residual clusters within +0.030..+0.060.
- BRE web confirmed max_output_kw values (4.39 / 3.933) match cascade
  exactly — the remaining drift is NOT a max_output bug.
- Cascade (39) annual avg HLC EXACTLY matches worksheet (39) at 4 dp
  for cert 0380 and 2225 — HLC is NOT the bug either.
- Implied drift is ~0.15% in η_space interpolation precision, likely
  in Elmhurst's internal rounding convention (not in public SAP 10.2
  spec or BRE PCDB).

Recommends Path A (ship Layer 4 chain tests at ±0.07 SAP tolerance)
as the spec-precision floor. Path B (close to 1e-4) requires Elmhurst
implementation access that's outside public docs.

d3058bf1d5 Slice 102f-prep.11: Track 6 ASHP cohort fixtures + register 7 golden pins
Fetches the API JSON for each of the 6 previously-missing ASHP
cohort certs (0350, 2225, 2636, 3800, 9285, 9418) into
tests/fixtures/golden/ so they're tracked alongside cert 0380 (the
cohort anchor lodged earlier). Each cert's residual against its
GOV.UK EPC lodgement is pinned in `_GOLDEN_EXPECTATIONS`:
  - SAP integer residual = 0 across all 7 certs (cascade rounds to
    the lodged value exactly).
  - PE residual: -7.93 to -14.79 kWh/m² (cascade UNDER-estimates
    primary energy by ~8-15 — likely PV cascade self-consumption
    β-factor split per Appendix M §3, untouched by this workstream).
  - CO2 residual: +0.16 to +0.28 t/yr (cascade OVER-estimates by ~0.2).

The pins lock the current cascade state so future mapper / cascade
changes fire loudly when they shift the 7-cohort residuals (the same
pin-tracking convention as the existing 8 boiler golden certs).

2605a7bf6e Slice 102f-prep.10: Alt-wall opening allocation per window_wall_type
RdSAP §1.4.2: window openings deduct from the gross of the wall they
pierce. The cert schema lodges `window_wall_type` on each SapWindow:
code 1 = main wall, codes 2/3 = alternative walls 1/2. Cohort
ground-truth: cert 2636 BP0 lodges one window (1.14 × 1.04 ≈ 1.19 m²)
with `window_wall_type=2` → it pierces alt.1 (12.76 m² cavity
unfilled at age D → U=0.70).

Pre-fix the cascade subtracted ALL openings from the BP's (main+alt)
gross then routed each alt at its FULL gross — over-counting alt's
contribution by 1.19 × U_alt and under-counting main by 1.19 × U_main.
For cert 2636: 1.19 × (0.70 − 0.25) = +0.535 W/K cascade walls excess,
matching the observed cascade walls 20.56 vs worksheet 20.024.

`_window_on_alt_wall` translates the per-window `window_wall_type`
code; the per-BP loop aggregates alt-wall windows into
`alt_window_area_by_bp`, passes that opening area through to
`_alt_wall_w_per_k` (alt.1 only — no cohort cert exercises alt.2
windows), and adds the deducted area back to the main wall's net
area so the conservation invariant holds.

Cohort impact: cert 2636 cascade walls closes from 20.5595 → 20.0240
(spec-exact to 1e-3). Cascade (37) closes from 114.7067 → 114.1846
(Δ +0.0134 from a small thermal-bridging area rounding diff). Cert
2636 SAP shifts from -0.0055 → +0.0323 — joining the cohort cluster
(all 7 ASHP certs now within +0.030 to +0.059 SAP).

The current near-zero cancellation state for cert 2636 was hiding
two opposite cascade errors (over-count walls + under-count η_space).
This slice closes walls correctly; the remaining +0.03 SAP cluster
across all 7 certs is the systematic PSR-denominator HLC×ΔT drift
documented in the handover (not max_output, which BRE confirmed
is 4.39 kW exactly).

Zero regressions on Elmhurst hand-built fixtures, closed-cert Layer
4 1e-4 chain gates, or golden cert residual pins.

0c112852bf Slice 102f-prep.9: RdSAP cantilever exposed-floor detection (closes cert 2636)
RdSAP "first floor over passageway" rule — when an upper storey has
larger floor area than the storey immediately below, the excess
overhangs an unheated space or external air and routes through
Table 20's U_exposed_floor (1.20 W/m²K for age-D + no insulation,
the modal cohort lodging).

Cohort ground-truth: cert 2636 BP0 floor 1 (42.92 m²) − floor 0
(39.18 m²) = 3.74 m². Worksheet (28b) "Exposed floor Main: 3.74 ×
1.20 = 4.4880" matches the spec rule exactly.

`_part_geometry` now computes `cantilever_floor_area_m2` per BP.
The per-BP loop in `heat_transmission_from_cert` injects U×A onto
the floor accumulator and includes the area in (31) total external
area (which feeds (36) thermal bridges).

Gated to avoid false positives on flats and sub-ground multi-storey
shapes:
  - `property_type == "0"` (house) — excludes flats (cert 9501 BP0
    has 6.85 m² floor 0 + 74.43 m² floor 1; the diff is stairwell
    access, not a real cantilever).
  - `excess >= 1 m²` — excludes 2-dp rounding artefacts (cert 001479
    Main BP0 lodges floor 1 = 30.77 vs floor 0 = 30.45 → 0.32 m²
    drift that's not a real cantilever; would otherwise add 0.4
    W/K and break the closed-cert 1e-4 Layer 4 chain gate).
  - `excess / prev_area < 0.25` — excludes sub-ground / partial-
    storey shapes (cert 7536 BP0: 33.7/17.28 = 195% — not a real
    cantilever; floor 0 likely a partial vestibule, not the full
    ground footprint).

Cohort impact: cert 2636 SAP residual closes from +0.4873 → -0.0055
(by far the largest cohort outlier becomes the closest match).
Zero regressions: 654 pass + 10 pre-existing baseline fails (9 cert
001479 hand-built skeleton + 1 FEE). All 7 ASHP certs now cluster
within ±0.06 SAP vs worksheet.

Refreshes the handover with the full session's work:
- All 7 ASHP cohort certs' MIT cascade matches worksheet (92) at 1e-3.
- 6/7 cohort SAP residuals cluster at +0.03..+0.06 vs worksheet.
- Identified PSR-formula drift root cause: max_output_kw ≈ 4.40 kW
  back-solved from 3 certs' worksheet η_space pins, vs the 4.39 lodged
  at PCDB position 47 (likely a field-position misread; needs BRE web
  cross-check for PCDB 104568 / 102421).
- Identified cert 2636's +0.49 outlier as missing cantilever Exposed
  floor (3.74 m² = upper-floor 42.92 − ground-floor 39.18 area diff).

Recommends Path A (resolve max_output + cantilever to land 1e-4) or

dfe2f2ce6e Slice 102f-prep.8: API mapper resolves shower_outlets=None → 0 mixers
Cert 2225 (Mitsubishi PUZ-WM50VHA, semi-detached 2-bp, TFA 82.49)
lodges `sap_heating.shower_outlets = None` in the Open EPC API
JSON. The worksheet (42a) "Hot water usage for mixer showers" reads
0 every month — Elmhurst's convention is "absent ⇒ no shower".

Pre-fix the API mapper returned `mixer_shower_count = None`,
deferring to the cert→inputs cascade's "RdSAP modal lodging"
default of 1 vented mixer. That added ~7 L/day to (44) daily HW
use, ~113 kWh/yr to (62) HW demand, and shifted cert 2225's SAP
residual from -0.31 → +0.04 (now aligned with the cohort's
+0.03..+0.06 cluster) once the mapper returns 0.

`_count_shower_outlets_by_type` now treats None as 0 (the API
mapper-only path). The cert→inputs cascade's
`_mixer_shower_flow_rates_from_cert` keeps the None→1 default for
the Elmhurst hand-built fixture path that doesn't route through
this helper.

Cohort impact: 6 of 7 ASHP certs now cluster at SAP Δ +0.03 to
+0.06 (vs worksheet); only cert 2636 remains an outlier (+0.49).
Golden cert PE/CO2 pins re-pinned for 6035, 8135, 0390 (the three
certs that previously lodged shower_outlets=None and consumed the
spurious 1-mixer default).

5f9978ca33 Slice 102f-prep.7: Table N4 fixed durations ("24"/"16") in HP extended-heating helper
SAP 10.2 Appendix N3.5 Table N4 (PDF p.107) — heat-pump packages
with fixed daily heating durations:
  - "24" → N24,9 = 365 (continuous): every day at heating temperature,
    no off period → (days_in_month, 0) per month → MIT_zone = Th.
  - "16" → N16,9 = 365 (unimodal, 0700-2300): every day with single
    8h off → (0, days_in_month) per month → MIT_zone = Th − u1(8h).
  - "9" → standard SAP schedule (bimodal 7+8 off): falls through to
    `None` so the orchestrator applies the legacy bimodal path.

Cert 9418 (Daikin Altherma EDLQ05CAV3, PCDB 102421) lodges
`heating_duration_code = "24"` — worksheet (87) MIT_living = 21.0
every month (= Th1, no off period) and (90) MIT_elsewhere collapses
to Th2 directly. Pre-fix the bimodal cascade produced MIT ~17.8-19.8
(2.04°C low at Jan) and SAP was +2.20 over worksheet 84.6305.

Post-fix cert 9418 closes to SAP Δ +0.0296 (from +2.20) — the
residual is consistent with the same ~0.05 PSR-formula drift seen
in 5/7 cohort certs sharing PCDB 104568.

6a1d7a57cc Slice 102f-prep.6: HP-gate §5 central-heating pump gains (Table 4f)
SAP 10.2 Table 4f (PDF p.169) — heat-pump packages (main heating
category 4) bundle the circulation pump's electricity into the
system COP, so worksheet line (70) "Pumps, fans" reports zero gain
for every month on HP certs. Cert 0380's worksheet confirms 0.0
through Jan-Dec.

`internal_gains_from_cert` previously called `central_heating_pump_w`
unconditionally and routed the 3/7/10 W (date-bucket) result through
the seasonal mask in `pumps_fans_monthly_w`. For HP certs that added
~7 W of spurious heating-season gains to (73)m → cold-month MIT
drifted +0.008°C above worksheet (92).

Gating the pump-W computation on `_CATEGORIES_WITHOUT_CENTRAL_HEATING
_PUMP = {4}` zeroes the gain for HP certs and leaves every other
category (gas, oil, electric storage, …) on the existing cascade.
Cohort impact:
  - Cert 0380 MIT 12-tuple now matches worksheet (92) at 1e-3 per
    month (worst Δ at Nov = -0.0009°C).
  - SAP residual closes from +0.155 → +0.059 vs worksheet 88.5104.
  - Closed certs (001479 / 0330 / 9501 — all boiler cohorts, cat 2

711b1f1b20 Slice 102f-prep.5: Wire N3.5 extended-heating MIT cascade (HP-gated)
SAP 10.2 Appendix N3.5 (PDF p.106-107) replaces Table 9c steps 3-4
for heat-pump packages with PCDB data — each month blends the
heating temperature Th, the unimodal (16-hour day, one 8-hour off
period per Table N7 footnote b) zone temperature, and the bimodal
(9-hour day, two off periods per Table N7) zone temperature via
Equation N5:

    T = [N24,9 × Th + N16,9 × T_uni + (Nm − N16,9 − N24,9) × T_bi] / Nm

`mean_internal_temperature_monthly` gains an optional
`extended_heating_days_per_month` kwarg (12-tuple of (N24,9_m,
N16,9_m)). When provided, the orchestrator computes T_unimodal per
zone from a single 8-hour off-period reduction and blends; when
None (default — every non-HP cert) it returns T_bimodal directly,
so closed certs (001479, 0330, 9501) are bit-identical.

`cert_to_inputs` derives the per-month tuple for HP certs with PCDB
records carrying `heating_duration_code = "V"` (Variable) — the
only code lodged on modern records per SAP 10.2 PDF p.105 footnote
48. Cohort path: PSR (= max_output_kw × 1000 / (HLC × 24.2 K)) →
Table N5 PSR interpolation → cold-first day allocation. Fixed
durations "24" / "16" / "9" from legacy Table N4 are deferred —
not exercised by the cohort.

Cert 0380 SAP residual closes from +0.5999 → +0.1550 vs worksheet
88.5104. The remaining ~0.16 SAP delta is split between two
orthogonal §5 / §7 residuals (cold-month +0.008°C MIT drift from
spurious HP pump gains; sub-1e-3 efficiency bias) that the next
slices target. Pin tolerance is 1e-2 per month on worksheet (92)
to capture this slice's contract alone, with `feedback_zero_error_
strict` widening documented inline.

    T = [N24,9 × Th + N16,9 × T_uni + (Nm − N16,9 − N24,9) × T_bi] / Nm

`extended_zone_mean_temperature_c` is the pure-math leaf: takes
pre-computed bimodal (9-hour heating, two off periods) and unimodal
(16-hour heating, one 8-hour off period per Table N7 footnote b)
zone temperatures and the per-month day allocations, blends across
the three heating patterns (Th for 24-hour days, T_uni for 16-hour,
T_bi for the standard 9-hour SAP schedule).

Pinned against cert 0380's January living-area MIT: Th=21, T_bi

80d3b9efd6 Slice 102f-prep.3: Table N5 day allocation Jan/Dec/Feb/Mar/Nov/Apr/Oct/May
SAP 10.2 Appendix N3.5 (PDF p.107): "Allocate these to months in the
following order: Jan, Dec, Feb, Mar, Nov, Apr, Oct, May (coldest to
the warmest), until all the days N24,9 and N16,9 have been allocated.
Days N24,9 are allocated first."

`allocate_extended_heating_days_to_months` distributes annual N24,9
and N16,9 totals (from Table N5) across the cold-first month order,
with N24 days filling first and N16 days filling whatever space
remains in each month afterward.

Cross-pinned against the spec's PSR=0.2 worked example (PDF p.107):
Jan-Oct each get max N24, May ends up with the residual (6, 6). And
against cert 0380's worksheet: PSR≈1.43 → row 1.2+ (3, 38) →
Jan(3, 28), Dec(0, 10) — matches the worksheet 24/9 + 16/9 rows.

The 8 cold-month order spans 243 days, exceeding every Table N5
row's combined total — no allocation is dropped for Variable
heating duration. Fixed durations ("24" / "16" from Table N4) live
beyond this helper's contract (caller decides when N24=365 means
"all months at Th"); slice 102f-prep.4 wires that in.

SAP 10.2 Appendix N3.5 (PDF p.105 line 6099) — heat-pump packages
lodge a "Daily heating duration" field encoded as "24" / "16" / "9"
/ "V" (Variable). Footnote 48 (PDF p.105): "Daily heating durations
of 24, 16 and 9 hours are retained for legacy purposes" — modern
records always lodge "V".

Format-465 position 48 holds the code; cohort ground truth: "V" on
Mitsubishi PUZ-WM50VHA (104568) and Daikin EDLQ05CAV3 (102421).
The field drives Appendix N3.5 + Table N4/N5 day allocation for the
extended-heating MIT cascade (slice 102f-prep.2 onward).

2e5c519861 Slice 102e: heat-pump APM efficiencies via SAP 10.2 Appendix N3.6 / N3.7(a)
For any cert lodging a Table 362 heat-pump PCDB record, the cascade now
replaces the Table 4a category defaults with PSR-interpolated
efficiencies per SAP 10.2 Appendix N (PDF p.108):

  (206) = 0.95 × η_space,1_interp                  (N3.6 in-use factor)
  (217) = in_use_factor × η_water,3_interp         (N3.7(a) + footnote 49)

where η_space,1 and η_water,3 are PSR-dependent values from the PCDB
record's PSR-group table (decoded in slice 102c.2), and the dwelling's
PSR is computed per PDF p.100 line 5946-5950:

  PSR = max_nominal_output_kw / (HLC_annual_avg_W_per_K × 24.2 K / 1000)

The N3.7 in-use factor (PDF p.6097) tests three cylinder criteria:
  1. cert volume ≥ PCDB volume
  2. cert heat-exchanger area ≥ PCDB area (unless PCDB area = 0 per fn53)
  3. cert heat loss [(47)×(51)×(52)] ≤ PCDB heat loss

All three pass → 0.95; any criterion fails or is unknown → 0.60. The
Open EPC API never lodges cylinder heat-exchanger area, so for the
cohort this criterion is always "unknown" → in_use_factor = 0.60.

Cert 0380 (Mitsubishi ASHP PCDB 104568, ASHP main, 160 L cylinder):
  cascade PSR              = 4.39 / (127.158 × 24.2 / 1000) ≈ 1.4266
  cascade η_space,1_interp ≈ 235.24  (PSR-1.2 row 253.9, PSR-1.5 229.2)
  cascade η_water,3_interp ≈ 285.13  (PSR-1.2 row 287.7, PSR-1.5 284.3)
  cascade main_heating_eff ≈ 2.2348  (vs worksheet 2.2305, 1.9e-3 diff)
  cascade HW kWh/yr         ≈ 878.05 (vs worksheet 877.97, 0.08 kWh/yr)
  cascade SAP rating        ≈ 89.11  (vs worksheet 88.5104, +0.60)

The remaining +0.60 SAP residual is bounded by the ~0.4% PSR-formula
drift (the cascade computes PSR=1.4266 from (39)_annual_avg × 24.2 K
whereas the worksheet back-solves to ≈ 1.4321). Slice 102f decides
whether further PSR refinement is needed to reach a 1e-4 SAP pin.

9950226267 Slice 102d: primary circuit loss via SAP 10.2 Table 3 with PCDB vessel gate
SAP 10.2 §4 line 7700 + Table 3 (PDF p.159) define the primary circuit
loss for cylinders heated indirectly through primary pipework:
  (59)m = n_m × 14 × [{0.0091 × p + 0.0245 × (1 − p)} × h + 0.0263]

Inputs:
  p  pipework insulation fraction — Table 3 rows: 0.0 uninsulated,
     0.1 first 1 m, 0.3 all accessible, 1.0 fully insulated. RdSAP §3
     default table (PDF p.56) supplies p by construction age band:
     bands A-J → 0.0, K, L, M → 1.0.
  h  hours per day of primary circulation, winter / summer split:
     • no cylinder thermostat               → 11 / 3
     • thermostat, NOT separately timed     →  5 / 3
     • thermostat, separately timed         →  3 / 3
     ("Use summer value for June, July, August and September and
     winter value for other months" — spec p.159 footer.)

Spec p.159 lists the zero-loss configurations:
  - electric immersion heater
  - combi boiler
  - CPSU
  - thermal store within single casing
  - separate boiler + thermal store within 1.5 m insulated pipe
  - direct-acting electric boiler
  - heat pump from PCDB with HW vessel integral to package
The cohort gate is now PCDB-aware: HP main + PCDB Table 362 record
`hw_vessel_mode != 1` (i.e. non-integral) → primary loss applies. All
7 cohort ASHPs lodge `hw_vessel_mode = 2` (separate and specified)
per Table 362 records 104568 (Mitsubishi) and 102421 (Daikin).

Cert 0380 (band D → p=0.0; cylinder thermostat + separately-timed →
h=3 / 3) lands (59)Jan = 31 × 14 × (0.0245 × 3 + 0.0263) = 43.3132
kWh/month (test pinned at 1e-4 vs cert's dr87 worksheet).

Cumulative cert 0380 API state:
  HW kWh/yr 431.4 → 653.1 (target 878, slice 102e closes via η_water)
  SAP    92.3 → 91.2  (delta to worksheet 88.51 now +2.73, was +3.75)

Cohort regression: cert 0390-2954 (oil boiler + cylinder, age F →
band A-J p=0.0) now picks up ~516 kWh/yr primary loss, tightening PE
residual -27.50 → -26.01 and CO2 -2.66 → -2.52 (improvements). The
higher HW fuel shifts SAP residual -6 → -7. Re-pinned with slice-102d
note. Closed combi boiler certs (001479, 0330, 9501) unaffected:
has_hot_water_cylinder=false gates the primary-loss override to None.

f33557b0e4 Slice 102c.2: PCDB Table 362 PSR groups + APM linear interpolation
SAP 10.2 Appendix N3.6 / N3.7(a) (PDF p.108) compute heat-pump
efficiencies from a PSR-dependent dataset in the PCDB record. Spec PDF
p.100 line 5957 instructs: "The PSR-dependent results applicable to
the dwelling are then obtained by linear interpolation between the two
datasets whose PSRs enclose that of the dwelling."

This slice decodes the format-465 PSR-group block (idx[58] count
followed by N groups × 9 raw fields apiece) and adds the interpolation
primitive. Field positions within each 9-field group reverse-engineered
against Mitsubishi PUZ-WM50VHA (104568) by back-solving cert 0380's
worksheet pin η_space=223.0480, η_water=171.0746:

  group offset 0 → PSR
  group offset 2 → η_space,1 (% gross)
  group offset 6 → η_water,3 (% gross — Appendix N3.7(a) + footnote 49,
                  PSR-dependent and calculated via the annual performance
                  method, used directly for HPs providing both space +
                  water heating)

Offsets 1 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 7 / 8 are unpopulated for record 104568 and
not yet ground-truthed. They likely hold the secondary results
documented under format 464 field 42-43 (specific electricity
consumed, running hours) plus additional format-465 extensions.

The clamping behaviour at the PSR ends is taken from SAP 10.2 PDF
p.101 lines 6007-6008: "if the PSR is greater than the largest PSR in
the database record then the heat pump space and water heating
fractions for the largest PSR should be used, and if the PSR is less
than the smallest PSR in the database record then the heat pump space
and water heating fractions for the smallest PSR should be used".

Verified against cohort:
  - Record 104568 (Mitsubishi PUZ-WM50VHA) → 14 PSR groups decoded;
    interpolation at PSR=1.43 yields η_space,1≈234.96 and η_water,3
    ≈285.09, matching back-solved worksheet values (slice 102e applies
    the N3.6 ×0.95 and N3.7 ×0.60 in-use factors to close the chain).

1df83e6f88 Slice 102c.1: typed PCDB Table 362 (heat pumps) header parser
SAP 10.2 Appendix N (N3.6 / N3.7(a)) requires PSR-interpolated values
from PCDB Table 362 for any heat-pump cert. The published PCDF Spec
Rev 6b §A.23 documents format 464 for that table; the live
pcdb10.dat (April 2026) ships format 465, which extends 464 with
additional header fields between fields 11 and 12 and a larger PSR
group set. The parser-layer test pins the format-465 offsets against
the BRE web entry for Mitsubishi Ecodan 5.0 kW PUZ-WM50VHA
(pcdb_id=104568, the cohort's dominant heat-pump model — 6 of 7 ASHP
certs use it).

This slice lands only the header fields the downstream APM cascade
needs (PSR-group decoding + linear interpolation follow in slice 102c.2):

  field                            spec ref          format-465 idx
  brand_name                       §A.23 field 7     6
  model_name                       §A.23 field 8     7
  model_qualifier                  §A.23 field 9     8
  fuel                             §A.23 field 13    16
  service_provision                §A.23 field 17    22
  hw_vessel_mode                   §A.23 field 18    23
  vessel_volume_l                  §A.23 field 19    24
  vessel_heat_loss_kwh_per_day     §A.23 field 20    25
  vessel_heat_exchanger_area_m2    §A.23 field 21    26
  max_output_kw                    §A.23 field 30    47

`max_output_kw` is the PSR-denominator per SAP 10.2 PDF p.100 line 5946
("maximum nominal output of the package … divided by the design heat
loss of the dwelling"); BRE labels it "Output power @ -4.7°C" on the
web entry.

Cohort header parse verified end-to-end against BRE web ground truth
for record 104568. Identical field positions apply to the Daikin
EDLQ05CAV3 (102421, cert 9418), confirmed by spot-checking the
populated raw indices.

fb3a84ce94 Slice 102b: cylinder storage loss via SAP 10.2 Tables 2/2a/2b
SAP 10.2 §4 line 7690 (full spec PDF p.136) defines the cylinder storage
loss cascade for any cert with a hot water cylinder lodged:
  (54) = V × L × VF × TF           (Table 2 absence-of-declared-loss branch)
  (55) = (54)                       (no manufacturer's declared loss)
  (56)m = (55) × n_m                (per spec, n_m = days in month)
where
  L  = Table 2 (PDF p.158) Note 1 formula for the lodged insulation type
       (factory-insulated cylinders: 0.005 + 0.55/(t+4.0); loose jacket:
       0.005 + 1.76/(t+12.8))
  VF = Table 2a (PDF p.158) Note 2 closed form (120/V)^(1/3)
  TF = Table 2b (PDF p.159) base 0.60 for indirect / electric-immersion
       cylinders, × 1.3 if no thermostat, × 0.9 if DHW separately timed

Prior, `water_heating_from_cert` hard-coded `solar_storage_monthly_kwh
= zero12` and `_water_heating_worksheet_and_gains` had no path to
populate it. The new `cylinder_storage_loss_monthly_kwh` helper in
`worksheet/water_heating.py` exposes Tables 2 / 2a / 2b as small typed
functions plus a composite; the cert-side orchestrator in
`rdsap/cert_to_inputs.py::_cylinder_storage_loss_override` resolves
the lodged cylinder fields and injects the override.

Code → litres mapping ground-truthed against worksheet (47) line refs
in /sap worksheets/Additional data with api/<cert>/dr87-*.pdf for the
7-cert ASHP cohort: code 3 → 160 L (Medium, 6 certs) and code 4 →
210 L (Large, cert 9418). Codes 2 / 5 / 6 (Normal / Inaccessible /
Exact) absent from the cohort and not yet mapped.

Cylinder insulation type code → "factory_insulated" mapping
(_CYLINDER_INSULATION_TYPE_FACTORY = 1) ground-truthed against all 7
ASHP cohort worksheets ("Foam" lodgement → SAP 10.2 Table 2 Note 2
"factory-insulated cylinder where the insulation is applied in the
course of manufacture irrespective of the insulation material used").

RdSAP §3 default table (PDF p.57) — "Hot water separately timed:
Post-1998 boiler: Yes" — applied to heat-pump main heating systems
(cat 4) per the cohort worksheet evidence.

Cert 0380 (Mitsubishi ASHP, 160 L factory 50 mm, thermostat + separately
timed) lands the spec formula at worksheet (56) Jan = 36.9530 kWh/month
(test pinned at 1e-4); HW kWh/yr 242.21 → 431.38, recovering ~189 kWh/yr
of cylinder loss the cascade was previously dropping.

Cohort regression: cert 0390-2954 (oil boiler + 160 L cylinder) tightens
PE residual -28.6783 → -27.5026 kWh/m² and CO2 residual -2.7640 →
-2.6570 t/yr — both move closer to the lodged values (improvement).
Re-pinned with a slice-102b note.

Closed boiler chain tests (001479, 0330, 9501) unaffected: those certs
lodge has_hot_water_cylinder=false so the override stays None and the
existing zero-storage-loss default fires.

5e8ba9773f Slice 102a: gate Table 3a combi-loss default by main heating category
SAP 10.2 §4 line 7702 (full spec PDF p.137): "Combi loss for each month
from Table 3a, 3b or 3c (enter '0' if not a combi boiler)". The cascade
in `_water_heating_worksheet_and_gains` was falling through to the
Table 3a keep-hot 600 kWh/yr default whenever no PCDB Table 105 boiler
record was found — including every heat-pump cert (Table 105 only
contains gas/oil boilers).

Open EPC API certs typically lodge `sap_main_heating_code = None`, so
the gate keys off `main_heating_category` instead: {1, 2} for the
gas/oil/solid-fuel boiler family + {3, 6} for community heat networks
(preserves the existing DLF-scaling regression test). Categories 4
(heat pump), 5 (warm air), 7 (electric storage), 10 (room heaters) and
all other non-combi mains zero (61)m per the spec parenthetical.

Cert 0380 (Mitsubishi ASHP, cat=4): HW kWh/yr drops 503.08 → 242.21,
removing the bogus 600 kWh × 0.18 £/kWh = £77/yr inflation. Closed
boiler certs (001479, 0330, 9501 — all cat=2) and heat-network cert
parity unchanged.

ac867499ea docs: update handover — cert 0380 API path Δ -18.37 → +2.92 SAP
Cert 0380 (semi-detached bungalow ASHP) was the prior handover's
"defer until HP go-ahead" pilot. Three slices this session closed
the dwelling-shape part of the gap:

- 101a: glazing_type=14 → DG/TG post-2022 (windows HLC exact)
- 101b: cavity wall + filled cavity + external insulation
  (composite U via Table 14 R_ins + 2 d.p. round; walls HLC exact)
  + Table 11 cat-4 secondary fraction = 0
- 101c: Table 4f cat-4 pumps/fans kWh = 0

(37) total fabric heat loss is now EXACT vs worksheet 96.0889.

Remaining gap (Δ +2.92 SAP) is dominated by the hot water cascade:
the cert lodges a 160 L cylinder (storage loss + primary loss) and
the HW HP COP is model-specific (PCDB index 104568 → 1.711 per
worksheet, not the Table 4a generic 2.3 our cascade uses). Both
require new cascade work — HP HW-specific COP from PCDB plus
cylinder storage/primary loss application.

Cert 0380's HW work will benefit all 6 sibling ASHPs sharing PCDB
idx 104568 (and partially the 102421 outlier).

23e35da614 Slice 101c: HP cert 0380 — Table 4f cat-4 pumps/fans = 0
SAP 10.2 Table 4f lists annual pumps + fans electricity consumption
by main heating category. The cascade's
`_PUMPS_FANS_KWH_BY_MAIN_CATEGORY` only had cat-2 (gas-fired
boilers, 160 kWh = 115 pump + 45 flue fan) — HP certs (cat 4) fell
through to the 130 kWh/yr DEFAULT.

Heat pumps have NO additional pumps/fans contribution per Table 4f:
the HP system's circulation pump + fans are already incorporated
into the seasonal COP. Worksheet line (249) "Pumps, fans and
electric keep-hot" shows 0.0000 kWh for cert 0380 (ASHP).

Added `4: 0.0`. Effect on cert 0380 API path: pumps_fans cost
£17.15 → £0.00 (matches worksheet); total cost £171.36 → £154.21
(worksheet £206.75; remaining Δ -£52 is dominated by the hot-water
cascade gap which is the next slice — cylinder storage + primary
loss + HP HW COP + separate electric shower line all need work).

No golden cert residual shifts (cohort certs are all gas boilers).

a736db3f4a Slice 101b: HP cert 0380 — cavity+EWI wall U + Table 11 cat-4 secondary
Two HP-specific cascade gaps blocking cert 0380:

(a) Cavity wall + filled cavity + external insulation:
    Cert 0380's `walls[0].description="Cavity wall, filled cavity and
    external insulation"` with `wall_insulation_type=6` +
    `wall_insulation_thickness="100mm"`. RdSAP 10 §4-4 (page 73) lists
    "cavity plus external" as a distinct insulation type code (6 in
    the API schema; 7 is "cavity plus internal"). The U-value is the
    composite U = 1 / (1/U_filled + R_ins) per §5.8 page 40 + Table 14
    R-value lookup, with the cascade-2-d.p. round matching the dr87
    worksheet's column display.

    For cert 0380: U_filled (age D)=0.7 + R_ins (100mm @ λ=0.04)=2.5
    → U_unrounded=0.2545 → rounded 0.25 (worksheet exact). Walls HLC
    14.87 → 11.6150 (= worksheet 11.6150). (37) total fabric heat
    loss 99.34 → **96.0889** (= worksheet 96.0889 EXACT).

    Added `WALL_INSULATION_CAVITY_PLUS_EXTERNAL: Final[int] = 6` and
    `WALL_INSULATION_CAVITY_PLUS_INTERNAL: Final[int] = 7` constants
    + `_WALL_INSULATION_LAMBDA_W_PER_MK = 0.04` default thermal
    conductivity. New `u_wall` branch fires when cavity + composite
    insulation type + non-zero thickness.

(b) SAP 10.2 Table 11 secondary fraction — missing cat-4 entry:
    The dict `_SECONDARY_HEATING_FRACTION_BY_CATEGORY` had entries
    for cats 1/2/3/5/6/7/10 but DID NOT include cat 4 (heat pump),
    despite the inline comment explicitly noting "Cat 4 (heat pump):
    0.00 (HP eff includes any secondary)". Cert 0380 lodges
    `secondary_heating_type=691` + `main_heating_category=4` (HP,
    PCDB idx 104568), so the cascade fell through to the DEFAULT
    fraction 0.10 — billing 547 kWh × 13.19 p/kWh = £72 as
    "secondary heating" that the worksheet correctly shows as £0.

    Added `4: 0.00` to the dict.

Effect on cert 0380 API path:
- walls HLC 14.87 → 11.62 (worksheet exact)
- (37) total HLC 99.34 → 96.09 (worksheet exact)
- main_heating_cost £282 → £314 (worksheet £316)
- secondary_heating £72 → £0 (worksheet £0)
- sap_continuous 87.62 → 90.48 (Δ -0.89 → +1.97 — over-correcting
  because hot-water cascade is still cascade-£66 vs worksheet £204
  including electric shower; HP HW-COP + electric-shower cost are
  the next slices).

No golden cert residual shifts (cohort certs don't lodge HP cat 4
or composite cavity+EWI walls).
