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.

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:

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 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.

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-*] 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 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 — per-section line-ref pins; tolerance shapes vary.
• test_fuel_cost.py
• test_internal_gains.py
• test_appendix_h_solar.py

Each may have assert abs(diff) <= TOL constructs where TOL is historically lax. Sweep + tighten as the underlying cascade precision allows.

How the audit worked (replicate this method)

The single-bug-per-slice closure pattern that worked for S0380.110..114:

1. Audit before implementing. Dump every cascade intermediate value alongside the worksheet line ref. 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).

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.
