Khalim Conn-Kowlessar 6884ec9fda fix(fabric): honour the gov-EPC lodged per-element U-values (RdSAP §5.1)
The gov-EPC API surfaces the assessor's RdSAP-assessed per-element U-values
as `roof_u_value` / `wall_u_value` / `floor_u_value` on each building part.
These were undeclared on the RdSAP 21.0.0/21.0.1 schemas, so `from_dict`
silently dropped them, and `heat_transmission` re-derived each U from the §5.6
/§5.7/§5.11 construction-default cascade. The gov OPEN data routinely redacts
the backing insulation thickness, so that re-derivation mis-bills an insulated
element as uninsulated.

RdSAP 10 §5.1: a known element U-value (documentary evidence / the lodged
RdSAP output) is used directly in place of the construction-default cascade.
Per [[project_per_cert_mapper_validation_state]] the gov API carries RdSAP
OUTPUT, so the lodged U reproduces the official's element heat loss exactly.

Worst case in the 2026 sample: cert 7921-0052-0940-5007-0663, an age-C
"Pitched, sloping ceiling" (rc=8) top-floor flat lodging roof_u_value=0.2 with
no thickness. The cascade returned the uninsulated 2.30 W/m²K → SAP 56.9 vs
lodged 80 (-23.09, the single largest error in the sample). The roof override
alone recovers ~15 SAP; the wall override (lodged 0.34 vs cascade) closes the
rest of this cohort.

Override applies to the MAIN wall only (alt-wall sub-areas keep their own
per-area U) and the part's floor=0. Fires only when the rare field is present
(9 of 909 computed certs), so the Summary path — which never lodges these
API fields — is untouched.

API gauge: 67.1% → 67.7% within-0.5, mean|err| 1.024 → 0.992.
Worksheet harness: 47/47, 0 divergers (unchanged).
