Built the cert in accredited Elmhurst RdSAP10-Online on the lodged register
inputs; downloaded Input Summary + SAP Worksheets (committed alongside).
Confirmed:
- Slice 5 DIRECTION validated: the externally-insulated solid-brick wall is
billed insulated by both tools (Elmhurst U 0.48, engine U 0.29), far below
the uninsulated 1.40 the pre-fix §5.8 gate produced.
- ROOF matches EXACTLY (U 0.30, 9.35 W/K).
- Engine 71.74 = lodged 71; Elmhurst current SAP 66 (its "unknown external
insulation" default is more conservative + this build used a generic combi
and no keyed wall thickness, so 66 is not a clean engine-comparison).
Follow-up lead (documented in ELMHURST_FINDINGS.md): the engine feeds the
UNMEASURED lodged wall_thickness (360 mm, measured=N) into the §5.6 formula,
whereas RdSAP §5.3 uses measured thickness / Table-3 default otherwise. The
party-wall "difference" is NOT a bug (engine 0.25 is spec-correct, Table 15
row 4). Also adds the build script scripts/hyde/build_200004296092.py.
No engine change in this commit.

A SOLID-BRICK or STONE wall lodging External/Internal insulation
(wall_insulation_type 1/3) but no measured insulation thickness (gov-API
"NI" -> None) was billed at its UNINSULATED §5.6/Table-6 U-value: the §5.8
added-insulation R-value adjustment gates on `insulation_thickness_mm > 0`,
so an unknown thickness fell straight through to the raw solid-wall U
(~1.4-1.7). This over-counted wall heat loss and under-rated the dwelling.
RdSAP 10 §5.4 (PDF p.32): "the U-value with additional insulation is based
on the thickness of insulation of mineral wool type (assume 100 mm if
thickness is unknown)". Apply that 100 mm default so the §5.8 Table-14
R-value fires. Scoped to solid brick / stone (the only constructions with
a §5.8 R-value path in u_wall) so cavity (composite path) and timber /
system-built walls are untouched.
Localised by deep-diving corpus cert 200004296092 (end-terrace, solid
brick 360 mm "with external insulation", NI): walls 101.7 W/K (U~1.40,
HLP 3.46 = absurd for an insulated wall) -> ~0.29; PE +59.6 -> ~0; engine
64.35 (Δ -6.65) -> 71.74 = lodged 71. ~8 solid-brick/stone corpus certs
carry this NI-thickness-with-insulation shape.
Gauge: within-0.5 held at 77.0%, SAP MAE 0.658 -> 0.647, CO2 0.074 ->
0.073, PE 3.2 -> 3.1 (floor ratcheted). Unit-pinned in test_rdsap_uvalues
(brick 360 mm external NI -> 0.29) + RealCertExpectation 200004296092 = 72.

An instantaneous point-of-use electric water heater (WHC 907/909, no
cylinder) on an off-peak tariff was billed 100% at the off-peak LOW rate
by the generic electric-off-peak else-branch. But SAP 10.2 §12 (PDF line
2680) computes the off-peak on-peak HW proportion via Table 13, "dependent
on the total floor area and the CYLINDER size" — it presumes a stored-water
cylinder charged overnight. An instantaneous heater has NO cylinder, heats
on demand, and cannot shift to the off-peak window, so 100% of its
consumption bills at the HIGH rate (Table 12a WH high-rate fraction 1.0).
Both the SAP-cost rate (`_hot_water_fuel_cost_gbp_per_kwh`) and the
ADR-0014 / CO2-PE fraction (`_hot_water_high_rate_fraction`) fixed
consistently (low-rate scalar -> 7-hour high rate; fraction 0.0 -> 1.0).
Localised by deep-diving corpus cert 74061136 (HHR-storage mid-floor flat,
WHC 909): PE matched lodged (+1.6, roof+floor zero-loss) while SAP over-rated
+7.72 — the cost-only signature. Its DHW was ours £59 vs lodged £344 (5.8x);
the tariff was the whole gap. Fix: +7.72 -> -1.25 (residual is separate small
fabric). 7 corpus certs carry electric-instantaneous DHW on off-peak; the 3
outside 0.5 all move sharply inward (MAE the win, not within-0.5 crossings).
RdSAP 10 §12 tariff routing confirmed spec-correct (Unknown meter + storage
409 -> off-peak 7-hour, Rule 2) — the bug was the DHW rate, not the tariff.
Unit-pinned in test_cert_to_inputs; RealCertExpectation 74061136 = 72.

The gov-API `secondary_fuel_type` enums 5 (anthracite) / 9 (dual fuel) /
33 (coal) collide in VALUE with same-valued RdSAP-10 Table-32 codes for
OTHER fuels (5=bulk LPG, 9=LPG SC11F, 33=elec 10h-low). The main-fuel
boundary and the CO2/display `_secondary_fuel_cost_gbp_per_kwh` already
canonicalise these via `canonical_fuel_code`, but the SAP-DRIVING
`_fuel_cost` cascade had a SEPARATE inline secondary rate that passed the
raw enum straight to the price lookup — so the two paths diverged and the
cost path silently mis-priced.
Anthracite (enum 5) was billed at the bulk-LPG code-5 rate 12.19 p/kWh
instead of 3.64 — a 3x over-cost on the secondary that under-rated every
solid-fuel-secondary dwelling. Worst: corpus cert 100050355518 (semi,
2 extensions, anthracite room-heater secondary) lodged 36 / engine 20.8
-> 35.5. Its CO2/PE already matched lodged (the demand cascade was right)
— a pure cost-side gap, which is what localised it.
Fix: canonicalise `secondary_fuel` before the Table-32 lookup in
`_fuel_cost`, mirroring the main-fuel boundary. 55 corpus certs carry a
colliding secondary.
Gauge: within-0.5 75.5% -> 77.0%, SAP MAE 0.708 -> 0.668 (floors
ratcheted). The prior enum-9 test only guarded the display helper; new
test_fuel_cost_secondary_colliding_fuel_priced_at_canonical_rate pins the
_fuel_cost cost path directly. RealCertExpectation pinned for
100050355518 (36 = lodged).

RdSAP 10 §5.11.4: a pitched roof lodging thickness "NI" with description
"...insulated (assumed)" was billed at the §5.11.4 observed-retrofit
50 mm row (U 0.68) while the SAME description lodged with "ND" fell
through to the Table 18 age-band default (0.40 for bands A-G). The
ND-vs-NI sentinel is lodging-software noise; "(assumed)" means the
insulation PRESENCE is an age-band assumption, not an observed
retrofit, so Table 18's "thickness cannot be determined" clause
governs both forms. The bare "insulated" description (observed
retrofit, no qualifier) keeps the 50 mm row.
Evidence: the 27-cert loc4+NI corpus cohort was systematically
under-rated (~-1 SAP; zero positive movers among "(assumed)" certs),
vs the 102-cert loc4+ND cohort already on Table 18 at ~0 bias.
Gauge: within-0.5 74.2% -> 75.5%, SAP MAE 0.721 -> 0.708, CO2 MAE
0.09 -> 0.074, PE MAE 3.5 -> 3.2 (floors ratcheted). Unit-pinned in
test_rdsap_uvalues (assumed -> Table 18; bare-insulated -> 0.68
regression guard); integration pin in test_heat_transmission updated;
RealCertExpectation pinned for 10094975827 (66 = lodged, was -1.87).
Ledger: C002 103001004 deferred pending Elmhurst arbitration
(single-immersion off-peak pricing + declared cylinder loss vs
Table-2); C006 quadruplet marked ⚠ (LIG-21.0 software honours lodged
0 extract fans literally vs the Elmhurst-validated 0=unknown->default
convention, worksheet case 46).

Setup for the RdSAP-21.0.1 corpus gauge campaign (74.2% within-0.5,
SAP MAE 0.721 at HEAD, 1000/1000 computed):
- scripts/corpus_1000/build_worklist.py — runs all 1000 corpus certs
through the gauge's own path (from_api_response -> Sap10Calculator),
ranks |engine - lodged| descending, clusters by dwelling signature,
and (re)writes scripts/corpus_1000/worklist.md preserving per-cert
statuses and notes. 258 certs outside 0.5 in 249 clusters.
- C001 (worst cert, Δ +23.9): uprn 4510053280, ground-floor flat 47 m²
on ASHP PCDB 100053 (Mitsubishi Ecodan 5 kW, PSR table 0.2-2.0).
Dwelling PSR 2.031 -> SAP 10.2 N2 footnotes 44/45 heat-pump extension
(reciprocal interpolation toward 100% at 2x largest PSR) = 305%
space efficiency, which accredited Elmhurst also applies (golden
case 56, record 100061). The LODGED software instead treated the
out-of-range record as invalid and billed 100% direct electric +
standard schedule (reproduces lodged CO2 to 1%). Lodged-software
methodology gap, worklist ⚠, engine untouched; observed engine 75
pinned in test_real_cert_sap_accuracy.
Gauge floors unchanged (no engine change).

PropertyAudit gained three required cylinder fields; the pre-existing
divergence/goal-shortfall tests construct it via _make_audit, which
wasn't updated.

Portfolio 814 / scenario 1271 audit (2026-07-03): all 26 properties lodging
has_hot_water_cylinder with insulation type 0 (none) or NULL over-rate their
effective baseline by up to +18 SAP (avg +12.7) because
_cylinder_storage_loss_override returns None for any insulation label it
can't resolve and the worksheet keeps the zero-storage-loss combi default.
Same-lodged neighbours split by 19 effective points (WD5 0DP pids
742215/742216, both lodged 54, effective 50 vs 69) and the inflated members
distorted neighbour-divergence cohort medians (E17 6EB pid 742355 Δ+18).
New HIGH check cylinder-storage-loss-dropped fires on the deterministic
input pattern (cylinder present, insulation type ∉ {factory, loose jacket}
or thickness missing) — 28/338 on the motivating portfolio (the 26 above
plus 2 same-pattern rows with no lodged score). The calculator fix
(uninsulated Table 2 loss, or RdSAP Table 29 age-band default) is separate
follow-up work.
