Both flagged mismatches were Elmhurst input errors (same silent-stale-value
contamination class as the earlier chimneys/wall-thickness bugs), not
parser or calculator bugs:
- cylinder_size: build_100010086084.py's water_heating() selected
DropDownListCylinderSize by raw value "2", but this DOM's option values
ARE their visible litre-band text (no "2" among them) — Playwright
silently no-ops on a non-matching value, leaving a prior cert's "Medium
(131-170L)" selection in place. Fixed to match by text ("Normal"), and
added the missing mapper dict entries (Normal/Large litre-suffixed
labels) to _ELMHURST_CYLINDER_SIZE_LABEL_TO_SAP10 (a real mapper-coverage
gap — the calculator raises UnmappedElmhurstLabel rather than silently
mis-mapping).
- boiler_flue_type: the boiler-code search dialog's combined "Balanced/Open
Flue" Table 4b category doesn't drive the separate, independently
selectable RadioButtonListFlueType field, which was left at an inherited
"Balanced" from a prior cert. Fixed space_heating() to explicitly select
"Open" to match the lodged gov-API code. This field isn't consumed by
Sap10Calculator (ML/generator-only), so it had zero effect on the SAP
score.
Re-downloaded elmhurst_summary.pdf/elmhurst_worksheet.pdf after the fixes
(Recommendations page confirmed clean). Elmhurst-PDF-inputs path moved
46->47 SAP from the cylinder-volume correction; gov-API SAP (53) and
Elmhurst's own worksheet (51) are unchanged. Full accuracy suites re-run
clean (67 passed, 67 skipped, 1 xfailed, same as before).

The Elmhurst rebuild for this cert had two carryover bugs from the shared
Playwright session: TextBoxOpenChimneys silently inherited "2" from a prior
cert's build (this cert's register lodges open_fireplaces_count=0, which
the gov-API mapper already reads correctly), and wall thickness inherited
a stale 280mm. Also fixed a real bug in the space_heating() PCDB-ref-clearing
logic: input_value() returns the string "0" when already cleared, which is
truthy in Python, causing a spurious navigate-away that broke the next
E.goto() call.
Rebuilt cleanly (chimneys=0, wall thickness=220mm per RdSAP convention for
unrecorded solid-wall thickness, since CheckBoxWallThicknessUnknown does not
persist via Playwright in this tool version). Elmhurst's own worksheet score
moves from a contaminated 46/48 to 51, closing the gap against this engine's
53-on-gov-API-inputs from ~5-7pt to ~2pt. No mapper.py change was needed --
the gov-API mapper's open_chimneys_count=0 was correct all along.

Built UPRN 100010086084 (the largest gov-API-vs-lodged outlier from the
20-cert batch) in Elmhurst's accredited RdSAP10 tool to get real ground
truth, per feedback that lodged rating isn't a valid comparison target.
Elmhurst worksheet: SAP 46-48 (orientation-dependent), vs this engine's
53 on gov-API inputs -- a real ~5-7pt residual gap. Ruled out with
direct empirical tests: total_floor_area, missing party_wall_length,
region/climate (SAP rating always uses UK-average weather per Appendix
U -- confirmed inert), boiler/secondary efficiency (exact match, 66%/
63% both sides). Confirmed real but NOT blind-fixed (need more than one
cert's evidence, and a wall-U-value patch tested the wrong direction in
isolation): a wall-thickness-unknown U-value fallback mismatch (this
engine 1.70, Elmhurst's own "unknown" resolution 1.40) and a window
U-value divergence (1.85 vs 2.52 W/m2K for the same nominal glazing
pick). Single-window orientation confirmed a ~2pt partial contributor.
Also fixes a small, separate, evidenced gap the build surfaced: the
Elmhurst summary parser didn't recognise the live tool's "Medium
(131-170L)" cylinder-size label (only the bare "Medium").
Full write-up is in the RealCertExpectation comment for this cert in
test_real_cert_sap_accuracy.py and the worklist. Residual gap is
intentionally left open for follow-up, not force-closed.
