Khalim Conn-Kowlessar 844fc22f67 S0380.209: API-path wall U — as-built "insulated (assumed)" uses age-band row, not 50mm
The EPC renders a recent-band as-built wall as "<material>, as built,
insulated (assumed)". The API mapper populates epc.walls with that string,
and heat_transmission's wall_ins_present gate keyed off the "insulated"
substring → routed the wall to the RdSAP 50 mm "insulation of unknown
thickness" bucket (e.g. sandstone band J U=0.25) instead of the as-built
age-band row (U=0.35).

Per RdSAP 10 Table 8/9 footnote the 50 mm row applies ONLY when insulation
is "known to have been increased subsequently (otherwise 'as built'
applies)". An "as built ... (assumed)" description is the EPC's age-band
assumption — it only renders on RECENT bands (an old band renders "no
insulation (assumed)"), so the as-built row applies. Genuine retrofit is
signalled by wall_insulation_type (External/Internal/Filled), which the
gate still checks independently.

Worksheet-validated by two new Elmhurst worksheets, both As Built band J:
  - simulated case 9: sandstone   → (29a) U 0.35
  - simulated case 10: solid brick → (29a) U 0.35
both the as-built row, NOT 50 mm (0.25).

Fix: restrict the description-based gate to genuine retrofit via the new
local `_described_as_retrofit_insulated` (excludes "as built"/"(assumed)").
The cavity filled-row routing inside `u_wall` (which uses
`_described_as_insulated` directly) is untouched — the 3 cavity API certs
(0390/0535/7536) are unaffected.

test_heat_transmission: the old `..._uses_50mm_row` test asserted 50 mm via
an IMPOSSIBLE band-B + "insulated (assumed)" combination; corrected to a
valid recent-band (J) scenario asserting the as-built row (35 W/K).

Golden 0240: walls 24.45 → 34.23 W/K (U 0.25 → 0.35). SAP integer 72
unchanged; PE residual re-pinned +1.8687 → +5.5044, CO2 +0.0907 → +0.2757.
This spec-correct fix REMOVED the wall under-count that was masking the
Ext1 vaulted-roof over-count (cascade U 0.68 via the same "insulated
(assumed)" description vs case-9 sloping-ceiling 0.25) — that roof
over-count is the next slice; fixing both lands SAP cont ≈ 72.31 (=
Elmhurst case 9).
