`plan-stops-short-of-goal` fires on anything below the goal band — 322/338
on portfolio 814, mostly flats a single band short of B, which drowns the
real hits. Add a sharper, band-keyed check that isolates the genuinely-
stuck tail: a plan that leaves the dwelling still rated E/F/G with the band
UNCHANGED from baseline on an unlimited-budget scenario — the "E->E, no big
movement" worklist. On portfolio 814 / scenario 1271 it flags just 4 (pids
742121, 742210, 742265, 742347) vs 322. No SAP-points threshold; the
strictly-worse case is left to plan-below-baseline-band so the two
partition cleanly.
Also refresh the find-weird-recommendations skill's Phase 4 catalogue:
register the new check in Phase 1, correct the stale 742121 note (it is an
electric maisonette whose HHRSH IS offered but scores -6.3 SAP, so the
Optimiser correctly drops it — not the old mains-gas story), and add the
742265 community-flat findings (HHRSH/ASHP gated out by heat-network
topology; vaulted-ceiling roof with ND insulation).

A pre-SAP10 RdSAP cert that omits per-window records lodges glazing as a
`multiple_glazing_type` code plus a `window.description` and a
`multiple_glazed_proportion`. When the numeric code is the "ND" (Not
Defined) sentinel, the reduced-field synthesis defaulted to the DG-modal
code 2 (double) — ignoring the two register signals that say otherwise.
`_normalize_sap_schema_16_x` already honours an explicit "Single glazed"
description for 16.x certs (rewriting multiple_glazing_type -> 5), but that
rule was never propagated to the 17.0 / 17.1 / 18.0 / 19.0 / 20.0.0
synthesis seams — they all blindly applied ND -> 2. So a genuinely
single-glazed dwelling was:
1. scored as double-glazed, overstating its baseline SAP, and
2. hidden from the glazing generator (which upgrades only single-glazed
windows), producing no glazing recommendation.
Reproduced on cert 2780-3922-3202-6042-9200 (uprn 10033526327), a
single-glazed community-heated flat lodging multiple_glazing_type="ND",
window "Single glazed", multiple_glazed_proportion 0 — mapped to four
double-glazed windows, no glazing measure offered.
Extend the 16.x rule to all five reduced-field seams via one shared
resolver: on the ND fallback, when the description says "single" or the
multiple-glazed proportion is 0, synthesise single glazing
(`_api_cascade_glazing_type(5) == 1`, SAP10 cascade single, Table 24
U~4.8) — the exact single code the glazing generator's {1, 15} set
matches — else keep each seam's DG-modal default. Refines ADR-0028's ND
handling.
Tests: all five seams synthesise single from a "Single glazed" + 0%
proportion cert; the double-glazed control keeps the DG-modal default;
plus unit pins on the resolver.

Gov-API certs that lodge a gas boiler as main_heating_category=2 + a PCDB
main_heating_index_number but omit sap_main_heating_code were carried with
a null code, so the heating generators (which gated on sap_main_heating_code
alone) never evaluated them for a boiler upgrade or a system tune-up — they
silently got nothing (£0 works, plateau at D). The SAP calculator already
handles this shape (cert_to_inputs._is_wet_boiler_main), so the calculator
modelled these as wet boilers while the recommenders ignored them.
Mirror the calculator's classification in the generator:
- _is_wet_boiler / _is_electric_boiler fall back, when no SAP code is
lodged, to a PCDB Table 105 boiler index or main_heating_category in
{1,2} (heat pumps excluded); electric boilers stay excluded by the code
range when lodged, else by an electricity main fuel.
- _already_condensing reads the boiler's declared PCDB winter efficiency
when there is no Table 4b code, so a modern condensing boiler lodged this
way still isn't offered a pointless like-for-like swap (gets a tune-up).
Verified read-only on portfolio 814 / scenario 1271: pids 742304, 742306,
742322, 742325, 742336 now get a gas_boiler_upgrade (two cross D->C on the
boiler alone) where they had £0 works; predicted properties whose heating
donor is a PCDB-shape boiler (e.g. 742095/742102/742105) also recover a
tune-up. Fixes the A#2 slice of #1388 (and unblocks 742302/742367).

PRD #1385 phase 2. The 20.0.0 and 21.0.0 mappers dropped insulated_door_u_value
(top-level Optional float), unlike 21.0.1. heat_transmission reads it as the
measured door U-value override (cert_to_inputs -> heat_transmission:809), so
dropping it forced every door onto the RdSAP default U-value.
Verification: new test 3 passed (21.0.0 sample lodges 3; 20.0.0 latent -> inject
1.5 + absent -> None); corpus 6002 passed; SAP-accuracy regressions pass; pyright
unchanged (39 -> 39).

The neighbour SAP-divergence cohort was (postcode, property_type, built_form),
which mixed electric- and gas-heated dwellings. Electricity scores materially
lower in SAP than mains gas for identical fabric, so a mixed-fuel postcode
produced cross-fuel false outliers — an electric dwelling flagged only for being
electric among gas neighbours.
Add the main-heating fuel class to the cohort key (electricity variants — 29/30
+ off-peak 31-40 — collapse to one class; every other code is its own bucket).
Now every flagged divergence is a same-fuel comparison worth investigating. On
portfolio 814 this refined 20 raw divergences to 17 same-fuel ones while keeping
the genuine within-fuel outliers (e.g. the all-electric WC2B 4AW flats at SAP
26/38 vs a cohort median of 67).
Reaches the fuel via epc_main_heating_detail through the indexed property_id —
still never touches the recommendation table. Surfaced by the portfolio-814
recommendation audit (Work item B, #1388).

PRD #1385 phase 2. The 21.0.0 mapper dropped mechanical_ventilation_index_number
and mechanical_vent_duct_type, unlike 21.0.1. cert_to_inputs reads both (PCDB
Table 4f/329 heat-recovery/SFP lookup + the Table 329 in-use factor), so an
MVHR/MEV cert on the 21.0.0 path fell back to the SAP default efficiency.
Mirrors 21.0.1 exactly -- only the two fields it actually maps. The other four
mechanical_vent_duct_* schema fields have no mapper OR calculator consumer even
on 21.0.1 (verified), so they're deliberately left alone rather than populating
dead domain fields.
Verification: new test 1 passed (harvested 21.0.0 sample lodges index=12,
duct_type=3); corpus 6002 passed; SAP-accuracy regressions pass; pyright
unchanged (39 -> 39).
