# Handover — post S0380.110..114 (cert 000565 continuous SAP exact at 1e-4) Branch: `feature/per-cert-mapper-validation`. **HEAD `cc70e559`**. Predecessor: [`HANDOVER_POST_S0380_109.md`](HANDOVER_POST_S0380_109.md). ## TL;DR Cert 000565 was closed from continuous SAP Δ = −0.0059 → **+0.000042** (within the user's 1e-4 tolerance) across 5 spec-cited slices: | Slice | Commit | Spec | Effect on cert 000565 | |---|---|---|---| | **S0380.110** | `9461e657` | SAP 10.2 Appendix L §L2a (PDF p.88) — per-rooflight g_L via Table 6b | `lighting_kwh` -2.17 → ✓ EXACT | | **S0380.111** | `794ef7ed` | SAP 10.2 §3.2 + Table 6e Note 2 (PDF p.180) — roof-window inclination adj +0.30 W/m²K | `roof_windows_w_per_k` -0.43 → ✓ EXACT | | **S0380.112** | `a461b70d` | RdSAP 10 §3.7 (PDF p.19) — per-BP rooflight deduction | Roof +0.30 → -0.06 W/K, TB +0.15 → -0.03 W/K | | **S0380.113** | `59de805e` | RdSAP 10 §3.9.2 step (b) (PDF p.23) — absent gable H=0 lodgement | Fabric closed (max 0.005 W/K residual across 8 components) | | **S0380.114** | `cc70e559` | SAP 10.2 Table 5a Note a) (PDF p.177) — pump GAIN for HP+boiler hybrids | Continuous SAP -0.008 → **+0.000042** | **Test baseline at HEAD `cc70e559`:** **616 pass + 5 expected `test_sap_result_pin[000565-*]` fails** (continuous SAP pin closed; remaining 5 are cost / CO2 / SH / fuel / ECF at strict 1e-4 abs). Pyright net-zero per touched file across every slice. ## Critical user direction (read before any tool call) 1. **Primary metric is `sap_score_continuous`.** Target is EXACT (Δ = 0), not 1e-4. The user explicitly wants the cascade to be a true spec replica. Sub-1e-4 residuals are not "essentially exact" — they are real bugs to find and close. 2. **Tighten loose pins as the cascade improves.** Per [[feedback-golden-residuals-near-zero]] the [test_golden_fixtures.py](domain/sap10_calculator/rdsap/tests/test_golden_fixtures.py) `expected_*_resid` values were pinned at whatever the cascade produced at the time. As the cascade gets more spec-correct, those pins should shrink toward 0. **This is now an active workstream** — not just for cert 000565 but across the whole golden corpus. 3. **Don't widen tolerances to make tests pass.** Per [[feedback-zero-error-strict]] — 1e-4 absolute is the bar, no `pytest.approx(rel=...)`, no `xfail`, no "spec-precision floor" framing. ## State table — cert 000565 (HEAD `cc70e559`) ### Fabric — all ✓ EXACT | Component | Cascade | WS | Δ | |---|---:|---:|---:| | walls (29a) | 604.0710 | 604.0710 | +0.0000 | | floor (28a/b) | 61.6743 | 61.6700 | +0.0043 | | roof (30) | 51.3768 | 51.3795 | −0.0027 | | windows (27) | 11.4788 | 11.4787 | +0.0001 | | roof_windows (27a) | 3.5806 | 3.5805 | +0.0001 | | doors (26a) | 11.1000 | 11.1000 | 0.0000 | | party_walls (32) | 65.1300 | 65.1300 | 0.0000 | | thermal_bridging (36) | 128.6448 | 128.6500 | −0.0052 | | external area (31) | 857.6323 | 857.6400 | −0.0077 | | **total HTC (33)** | **937.0563** | **937.0600** | **−0.0037** | ### Energy + cost — close but not exact | Pin | Cascade | WS | Δ | Rel | |---|---:|---:|---:|---:| | sap_score (int) | 29 | 29 | 0 | ✓ EXACT | | **sap_score_continuous** | **28.508742** | **28.5087** | **+0.000042** | **1.5e-6** | | ecf | 5.386823 | 5.3866 | +0.000223 | 4e-5 | | total_fuel_cost_gbp | 4680.2515 | 4680.2593 | −0.0078 | 2e-6 | | co2_kg_per_yr | 6447.6161 | 6447.6263 | −0.0102 | 2e-6 | | space_heating_kwh | 59008.2363 | 59008.3499 | −0.1136 | 2e-6 | | main_heating_fuel | 34710.7272 | 34710.7941 | −0.0669 | 2e-6 | | lighting_kwh | 1384.8353 | 1384.8353 | 0 | ✓ EXACT | | hot_water_kwh | 3755.0288 | 3755.0288 | 0 | ✓ EXACT | | pumps_fans_kwh | 252.5159 | 252.5159 | 0 | ✓ EXACT | | pumps_fans_co2 | 35.3349 | 35.3349 | 0 | ✓ EXACT | | pumps_fans_pe | 383.3797 | 383.3796 | 0 | ✓ EXACT | ## Next agent's job — **TWO PARALLEL WORKSTREAMS** ### Workstream 1: True exact closure of cert 000565 Continuous SAP currently at +4.2e-5. The user wants 0. The remaining sub-1e-4 residuals are sub-spec float drift somewhere in the cascade. Some candidates worth investigating: 1. **Floor +0.0043 W/K residual.** Small but persistent. Probably a 2-d.p. rounding inconsistency in u_floor or floor-area cascade. At U≈0.7, this is 0.006 m² of phantom area. 2. **Roof −0.0027 W/K residual.** Probably the Ext3 A_RR_shell formula precision (12.5 × √(32.0/1.5) cascade vs Elmhurst's slightly different result). Could be a rounding step in the cascade Elmhurst doesn't apply, or vice versa. 3. **MIT off by 0.0008°C average.** Tiny but accumulates over 8 heating months. Drives part of the SH residual. 4. **Utilisation factor off by 0.0001.** Same story. 5. **Cost / CO2 / PE per-month factor application.** The cascade applies SAP10.2 Table 12 monthly factors to per-month fuel energy. Look for whether the cascade uses the worksheet's exact monthly weighting vs an annual-average shortcut. **Approach:** the existing audit method works — dump every monthly intermediate value, diff against worksheet line refs, find the smallest residual that's still > 1e-6, trace its source. Continue the discipline from the prior 5 slices. **Verification:** the e2e test [`test_sap_result_pin[000565-*]`](domain/sap10_calculator/worksheet/tests/test_e2e_elmhurst_sap_score.py) pins every result field at abs=1e-4. When all 5 currently-failing fields close, cert 000565 is truly exact. ### Workstream 2: Tighten golden test residuals [test_golden_fixtures.py](domain/sap10_calculator/rdsap/tests/test_golden_fixtures.py) has ~50+ certs with `expected_sap_resid` / `expected_pe_resid` / `expected_co2_resid` baselines. Many were pinned at whatever the cascade produced at the time of test-creation. After the recent slice improvements (especially S0380.110..114), several of these should now be re-pinnable at SMALLER residuals. **Approach:** 1. Run the golden fixture suite — note any tests that still pass but have an `expected_*_resid` magnitude > 1e-4. Each is a candidate for re-pinning. 2. For each candidate, check the actual cascade residual today vs the pinned expected. If the cascade is now CLOSER to lodged (residual smaller in magnitude), re-pin to the new (smaller) value. Document the why in the test's `notes` field. 3. For pins that are far from 0 (e.g. `expected_sap_resid=-14` on cert 0240), investigate the gap. Some will be load-bearing mapper gaps (cert 0240 has a documented mapper note); others may be spec bugs the recent slices half-closed. Treat each as a mini- audit. 4. The user's bar (2026-05-28 onwards): residuals should be at ~1e-2 PE / 1e-3 CO2 or smaller for mapper-closed certs. Any cert whose `notes` say "mapper gap closed in slice X" should have `expected_*_resid` pinned at near-zero. **Other test files to sweep:** - [test_section_cascade_pins.py](domain/sap10_calculator/worksheet/tests/test_section_cascade_pins.py) — per-section line-ref pins; tolerance shapes vary. - [test_fuel_cost.py](domain/sap10_calculator/worksheet/tests/test_fuel_cost.py) - [test_internal_gains.py](domain/sap10_calculator/worksheet/tests/test_internal_gains.py) - [test_appendix_h_solar.py](domain/sap10_calculator/worksheet/tests/test_appendix_h_solar.py) Each may have `assert abs(diff) <= TOL` constructs where TOL is historically lax.

Don't trust handover narratives — verify the actual numerical residual against the source PDF. 2. **Find the spec citation.** When you spot a residual, search the spec for what the value SHOULD be. The bug is almost always a misreading or omission of a specific spec clause. 3. **Confirm the back-solve.** Before writing code, prove the hypothesis: "if I add the spec rule, the cascade should produce X". Compare X against the worksheet. If it matches at 1e-4 or better, ship the slice. 4. **Tight AAA tests.** Pin the narrowest intermediate the slice directly changes. Don't pin downstream-rolled-up values with tight thresholds (S0380.103 cost-test reframing pattern). 5. **Cohort safety.** Verify the new rule doesn't break the cohort certs. Usually the new spec branch is gated by a condition that doesn't fire on cohort (e.g. "non-HP system present alongside HP" doesn't apply to cohort gas-only certs). ## Spec source quick-reference All under `domain/sap10_calculator/docs/specs/`: - **SAP 10.2 full spec**: `sap-10-2-full-specification-2025-03-14.pdf` - §3.2 + Table 6e Note 2 (p.180) — roof-window inclination adj — S0380.111 - §10a Table 12a Grid 2 (p.191) + Table 12d (p.194) + Table 12e (p.195) — MEV trifecta - Appendix L §L2a (p.88) + Table 6b (p.178) — daylight factor — S0380.110 - Table 5a Note a) (p.177) — pump gain spec — S0380.114 - **RdSAP 10 spec**: `RdSAP 10 Specification 10-06-2025.pdf` - §3.7 (p.19) — per-BP window/door deduction — S0380.112 - §3.7.1 (p.21) — window vs roof window classification — S0380.107 - §3.9.2 step (b) (p.23) — Type 2 RR gable formula (including H=0) — S0380.113 - §3.9.2 step (d) (p.23) — Connected RR deduction — S0380.108 - §5.6 + Table 12 (p.40-41) — stone wall — S0380.109 - §5.7 + Table 13 (p.41) — brick wall U₀ — S0380.109 - §5.8 + Table 14 (p.41-42) — insulation R — S0380.109 - **SAP 10.3** at `sap-10-3-full-specification-2026-01-13.pdf`: **DO NOT reference** ([[feedback-sap-10-2-only-never-10-3]]) ## Files touched this session (S0380.110..114) | File | Slices | Purpose | |---|---|---| | `datatypes/epc/domain/epc_property_data.py` | .110, .112 | `SapRoofWindow.glazing_type` + `.window_location` | | `datatypes/epc/domain/mapper.py` | .110, .111, .112, .113 | Roof-window glazing/BP/inclination; H=0 gable retention | | `domain/sap10_calculator/worksheet/internal_gains.py` | .110, .114 | Per-rooflight g_L dispatch; HP+boiler pump gain | | `domain/sap10_calculator/worksheet/heat_transmission.py` | .112, .113 | Per-BP rooflight deduction; negative gable area handling | | `domain/sap10_calculator/worksheet/tests/_elmhurst_worksheet_000516.py` | .110, .112 | `glazing_type=2` + `window_location="Main"` on cohort rooflight | | `backend/documents_parser/tests/test_summary_pdf_mapper_chain.py` | .110..114 | AAA tests for each slice | ## What NOT to do - **Don't reference SAP 10.3** ([[feedback-sap-10-2-only-never-10-3]]). - **Don't widen pin tolerances** to make currently-failing pins pass ([[feedback-zero-error-strict]]). Find the bug, fix it, the pin closes. - **Don't re-investigate any closed work** (.91..114). All settled. - **Don't add new helpers to `domain/sap10_ml/`** — deprecation path. - **Don't pin downstream-only metrics with tight thresholds** — S0380.103 cost-test pattern. Pin the narrowest intermediate the slice directly changes. ## Memory hygiene After each new slice, update: - `project_cert_000565_recovery_state` — append slice closure + refresh open work - `MEMORY.md` — refresh HEAD + one-line summary Good luck. Cert 000565 is at the threshold — one or two more spec-precision slices and it's truly exact. Then sweep the rest of the cohort + golden fixtures with the same discipline.
