SAP 10.2 §4 line 7700 + Table 3 (PDF p.159) defines primary loss
as the loss between "a heat generator (e.g. boiler) connected to a
hot water storage vessel via insulated or uninsulated pipes (the
primary pipework)". The spec keys eligibility off the heat
generator that feeds the cylinder, NOT the space-heating main.
Verbatim spec (Table 3, p.159):
Primary circuit loss applies when hot water is heated by a heat
generator (e.g. boiler) connected to a hot water storage vessel
via insulated or uninsulated pipes (the primary pipework).
Primary loss is set to zero for the following:
- Electric immersion heater
- Combi boiler (including when it is part of a combined heat
pump and boiler package and provides all the hot water)
- CPSU (including electric CPSU)
- Boiler and thermal store within a single casing
- Separate boiler and thermal store connected by no more than
1.5 m of insulated pipework
- Direct-acting electric boiler
- Heat pump (not combined heat pump and boiler package with a
non-combi boiler) from PCDB with hot water vessel integral
to package
For other cases (indirect cylinders and thermal stores connected
by uninsulated pipework or more than 1.5 m of insulated
pipework) the loss in kWh/month is calculated as follows.
Primary loss = n_m × 14 × [{0.0091 × p + 0.0245 × (1 − p)} × h
+ 0.0263]
`_water_heating_section` was routing the gate through
`_first_main_heating` (Main 1). Cert 000565 lodges ASHP Main 1 +
gas combi Main 2 + WHC 914 ("from second main system") + 160 L
combined cylinder + cylinder thermostat "N". The cylinder is
heated by Main 2 via uninsulated primary pipework, so the spec
formula applies; the cascade was zeroing (59)m because Main 1's
HP record (or its absence) drove the gate.
Fix: `_primary_loss_override` resolves its `main` via
`_water_heating_main(epc)` (the WHC-914 routing) so the
eligibility check follows the heat generator that physically
incurs the loss. Call site loses the `main` argument; the gate's
internals are unchanged.
Cert 000565 worksheet line (59)m (U985-0001-000565 Block 1):
128.3772, 115.9536, 128.3772, 124.2360, 128.3772, 41.9160,
43.3132, 43.3132, 41.9160, 128.3772, 124.2360, 128.3772
sums to 1174.79 kWh/yr. Cascade now matches every month at < 1e-4
kWh under the spec params (uninsulated p=0 from RdSAP §3 age band
A-J default, h_winter=11 / h_summer=3 from "no cylinder
thermostat" row).
Cert 000565 movements at HEAD:

- ecf: 5.3073 → 5.3256 (Δ −0.08 → −0.06)
HW pin over-shoots by +1399 as expected — the +1174.79 spec credit
is amplified by the gas combi's 0.88 water efficiency (≈ +1335
kWh) plus cascade coupling (heat-gain feedback into space heating
drops it −549 kWh). The +1399 will be pulled back by the next two
demand-cascade slices:
- (45)m energy_content over by ~903 kWh (occupancy + shower mix)
- (56)/(57)m storage-loss over by ~98 kWh + missing solar
`(57)m = (56)m × (H13 − H12)/H13` adjustment (~298 kWh)
New test pins the full 12-month (59)m tuple for cert 000565's
heating shape at abs=1e-4. Old `_first_main_heating`-based test
(`test_cert_with_hot_water_cylinder_computes_primary_loss_59m_…`)
unchanged — still passes via the WHC-901 fall-through to Main 1.
Test baseline: 547 → 548 pass (new test added) + 9 expected
`test_sap_result_pin[000565-*]` cascade-gap fails. Pyright
net-zero on both touched files (45 baseline = 45 after).
