Khalim Conn-Kowlessar 42e0bb3122 fix(thermal-mass): gov-API system built (wall code 8) is masonry, not park home
The §5.16 Table 22 thermal-mass-parameter (TMP) "always low-mass" set was
{timber 5, cob 7, park home 8}. But wall_construction code 8 is OVERLOADED by
the same gov-API/calc code-space divergence as the wall-U fix: the Summary
path's "PH" mapping uses 8 for park home, while the gov-EPC API enum uses 8
for SYSTEM BUILD (Summary system build = code 6). So every API system-built
cert was mis-rated as low-mass 100 kJ/m²K instead of masonry 250 (Table 22
lists system build as masonry — PDF p.48, line "System build 250...").

A too-low TMP shortens the §7 time constant tau = Cm/(3.6·H), over-cutting
the temperature reduction so mean internal temperature is UNDER-stated →
space-heating demand under-stated → SAP over-rated. This was the cause of the
uninsulated system-built over-rate cluster (n=9 gas-boiler certs at signed
+2.39 vs cavity +0.43 / solid-brick +0.08 at the same bands — a system-built-
specific anomaly with a spec-correct wall U).

Fix: drop 8 from the always-low set and gate it on `property_type` — code 8 is
the low-mass park-home value only when the dwelling really is a park home,
otherwise it is gov-API system build and keeps masonry 250. Disambiguated by
the same `property_type == "park home"` signal used elsewhere in the cascade.

Worksheet harness UNAFFECTED (47/47, 0 divergers): the Summary path uses code
6 for system build and code 8 only for genuine park homes (which stay
low-mass via the property_type gate). API gauge 65.3% -> 67.1% within-0.5
(mean|err| 1.059 -> 1.024, signed +0.050 -> -0.002). The uninsulated
system-built cluster collapses +2.82 -> +0.28 signed (0/11 -> 7/11 within
0.5). 2 AAA tests (parametrised code-8 system-built -> 250; park-home
property -> 100). pyright net-zero.
