Khalim Conn-Kowlessar 3d1e6f103a Slice S0380.50: §4 seasonal monthly HW fuel for PV β cascade
The PV β-factor cascade was prorating the annual hot-water fuel kWh
uniformly by days when feeding D_PV,m per Appendix M1 footnote 32.
The worksheet uses §4 (219)m = (62)m / efficiency monthly — which is
seasonal (peaks in Jan when cold-mains-inlet drives energy content,
troughs in Jul/Aug). For cert 0380: worksheet Jul (219) = 68.30 kWh
vs cascade days-prorated 74.60 kWh — over-counted summer D_PV by
~6 kWh/month.

Per Appendix M1 footnote 32: "D_PV,m = ... + E_water,m" where
"E_water,m = (219)_m if water heating fuel code applied in Section
10a of the SAP worksheet is 30". (219)_m is the §4 fuel kWh per
month, not annual / 12.

Fix: scale `wh_result.output_monthly_kwh` to sum to the annual fuel
`hw_kwh` (equivalent to dividing each month by the annual-average
efficiency — exact for single-COP HP water heaters; close enough
for PCDB combi winter/summer-split efficiencies because the annual
total already accounts for the seasonal-efficiency mix). None fall-
back to the legacy days-proration when wh_result is absent
(TFA-missing certs).

Cohort PE residual closure (kWh/m²):

| Cert | Post-S0380.49 | Post-S0380.50 |
|---|---:|---:|
| 0350 | -2.96 | **-2.90** |
| 0380 | -3.06 | **-2.96** |
| 2225 | -3.73 | **-3.54** |
| 2636 | -3.44 | **-3.28** |
| 3800 | -3.25 | **-3.16** |
| 9285 | -2.81 | **-2.74** |
| 9418 | -3.01 | **-2.89** |

Modest but real cohort closure (~0.1 kWh/m² each). The remaining
~3 kWh/m² traces to a small cascade β over-count (0.751 vs worksheet
0.739) — likely Appendix L monthly-weighting details for appliances/
cooking/electric-shower in D_PV; deferred to a follow-up slice.

Cert 9501 (PV no battery) unchanged at +0.65 PE.
CO2 cohort: <0.11 t/yr (within tolerance, re-pinned in same slice).
SAP scores all exact. 763 pass + 0 fail. Pyright net-zero.
