Khalim Conn-Kowlessar 3363f63f5e docs: handover for systematic section-by-section RdSAP 10 review
The slice-by-slice "fix the biggest residual" approach has hit a
ceiling at SAP MAE ~4.6 because the cert-calibration prices absorb
multiple structural deviations from spec. Any spec-correct fix in one
component breaks the calibration for others. Three failed slices this
session (standing charges, cat=10 routing, combi zero-loss) made the
pattern unambiguous.

Pivot: systematic section-by-section spec verification. Read the
RdSAP 10 + SAP 10.2 spec in order, check each table / formula /
footnote against the corresponding code, fix gaps one at a time.
Build the spec-correct engine first; re-derive cert-cal calibration
once at the end as a thin Elmhurst-compatibility layer.

Handover doc covers:
- Critical framing (deterministic, not assessor judgement)
- Current state (SAP MAE 4.61, PE MAE 43.32 at f4a8d2a0)
- Why the slice-by-slice approach won't converge
- Scope decisions (RdSAP 10 + SAP 10.2 only; park full-SAP + PCDB)
- Section-to-code mapping
- Known dead-ends to skip
- Cert-calibration vs spec-correctness tension and how to resolve it
- The 7 golden fixtures and their compensating-error caveats
- Trace mode recommendation (ADR-0009's `intermediate` field)
- Specific §1-3 starting tasks
- Workflow recap
