Florian Schmidt 5a6f34a467 Analysis: bound the freshness query, let window sums skip chunks, share the Overview's catalog
ci / build-test (push) Successful in 2m34s
Three things the 1,000-meter x 10-year measurement found, each proved by
EXPLAIN or a statement count before and after. No tally moves.

Freshness had two jobs in one unbounded query. The mark -- when a meter
last delivered -- is now stored on meter_rollup_state and maintained by
every recompute, with a one-pass backfill in the migration, so an
import-only meter keeps its years-old last activity without reading a
single raw row. The rhythm that decides stale versus live is sampled
inside a 90-day window and only for meters that actually have a live
source; a source silent for longer than that is re-read unbounded, so it
is still called stale by its own rhythm rather than by a default. The
portfolio query went from 13.8 ms planning plus 36.1 ms execution across
all 123 reading chunks to 0.58 plus 0.44 ms across four.

Window sums took their time bounds only from the unnest join, so the
planner could not exclude chunks: a 1,960-window case scanned 1.39 M rows
in parallel and spilled a 45 MB sort. Repeating the overall min and max as
constants makes it five chunks and nested-loop index scans, 121.5 ms to
8.7 ms.

The Overview read the catalog three times, once for the quantities and
once for each of its two bills. One context and one catalog snapshot now
feed all three: 31 statements per load to 23.

The final timings on an idle machine are in docs/ANALYSIS_REPORT.md: the
brief's target request (100 meters, ten years, monthly) is 286 ms against
two seconds, and a startup rebuild of 1,000 meters is 279 s.

Florian Schmidt ec51419f64 Docs: the analysis rework's implementation report and screenshots
ci / build-test (push) Successful in 2m23s
The brief (§12) asks for a report: which of its findings A01-A14 were
fixed and how, how physical and virtual results now agree, which cost and
aggregation decisions were applied to existing data, what was tested, and
what is still missing. docs/ANALYSIS_REPORT.md is that, with a file path
and a pinning test for every row, the acceptance scenarios with their
evidence, the measured performance, and the limitations -- including the
three the note already records (raw retention not enforced, monthly
imports never interpolated, a full recompute per ingested reading) and the
three hotspots the measurement found.

The screenshots it references show the Overview, a physical and a virtual
meter, and an energy type's history at desktop and phone widths, plus two
"before" shots at c0f52db for comparison: the old Overview, and the old
virtual meter page, which offered a flow link instead of any analysis.

Florian Schmidt 8940ef25c3 Analysis: one selected period, one set of numbers, on every page
ci / build-test (push) Successful in 2m31s
The dashboards told several stories at once. Overview asked for full
calendar years, meter detail for a fixed 12-month window that was really
13, Trends for 24 months with an Apply button, and the energy pages for
60. Each page derived "today" from UTC, so the first hours of a local day
belonged to yesterday. A missing tariff, a month nobody measured and a
genuine zero all rendered as 0. And a virtual meter -- the one thing the
spreadsheet leans on hardest -- was excluded from analysis outright:
MeterPeriodService returned null for it and the page offered a flow
diagram instead.

docs/DASHBOARD_ANALYSIS_CHANGE_BRIEF.md is the work order. Every choice it
left open is settled in docs/ANALYSIS_IMPLEMENTATION_NOTE.md as D-01..D-58
plus amendments A-01..A-30; code, tests and release notes cite those ids.

The analysis layer

Core/Analysis holds the pure rules: period presets resolved once in the
instance zone into a local date range and a half-open UTC range, bucket
plans, calendar-unit comparisons, coverage runs with a resolution class,
normalized quantities and units, the totals policy, the virtual formula
parser/validator/evaluator, and the cost calculator. "Now" comes from
TimeProvider; services never read the clock.

Normalization now writes, in the same transaction as consumption and by
diff, per-meter rollups by local day and month plus coverage runs and a
rollup state (AnalysisDataWriter). AnalysisReader answers a request from
those tables -- month rollups for month and year buckets, day rollups
otherwise, at most two partial edge days from consumption -- and
CostReader prices the result month by month. Pages, /api/v1 and the CSV
export read nothing else. The unused continuous aggregates are dropped.

The reader's statement count per request is constant whether it covers one
meter or a thousand. On a synthetic 1,000-meter, ten-year instance the
brief's target request (100 meters, ten years, monthly) takes 374 ms
against a two-second target, and the Overview went from 48,244 SQL
statements per load to 205.

Missing is not zero

Every bucket carries a status -- available, partial, missing, unresolved,
invalid, pending -- derived from coverage, never from the amount, with
provenance and a reason code beside it. A true zero is a number and a bar
on the baseline; an unknown bucket is a gap that says why; a month whose
data only exists monthly says so instead of inventing daily detail; a
scope with no tariff says "not priced" instead of 0. Rows whose interval
closes after now are reported separately rather than counted.

Virtual meters are analysis subjects

A virtual meter stores a canonical definition -- expression over m<id>
references, result kind, unit and cost rule -- validated on save and on
read for syntax, unknown or self references, loops and unit/kind rules.
It is evaluated on read from its sources' rollups over their joint
coverage: a missing source makes the bucket missing, an observed zero is
a valid input, a non-finite result is invalid with its dependency path,
and the page lists each source's contribution. Topology links are
topology only and never rewrite a saved calculation; expression-less
meters from older installs are converted once at startup. The editor has
Sum, Difference and Advanced modes with a live preview.

Totals and the bill

Per energy type the totals policy separates use, grid import, export,
generation and runtime, marks breakdown meters as breakdowns and virtual
meters as views, and never adds across units. The bill follows it: grid
import where there is one, separately priced subsections at their own
price, feed-in only on export meters, standing charges once per scope per
local day, manual costs once on their start day, categories as
non-overlapping covers whose composition reconciles to the bill. The
seeded demo's yearly totals now match the spreadsheet.

Pages and navigation

The period lives in the URL and every page reads the same contract, so a
link, a reload and the browser's Back button keep it. Shared components
carry it: page header with breadcrumbs, period toolbar, theme-aware chart
with an accessible table beside it, metric cards, comparison and
availability states, attention items that each link to the one action
that fixes them. Meter detail leads with an Analysis tab and resolves its
tabs by key; the energy page has Overview, History, Flow and Meters; the
old cost-only Trends page is a general Analysis page over portfolio, type,
category, meter or a meter comparison. Records tabs are paged server-side
instead of showing the latest 200. Everything is English and German,
light and dark, down to 360px.

Some figures change on purpose; docs/RELEASE_NOTES.md lists each one and
what the first start after the update does (it rebuilds all analysis data
before the web server listens). docs/SDD.md and CLAUDE.md describe the
system as it now is.

Tests: 1,733 Core and 746 integration, all green, plus an opt-in
performance suite with a synthetic 1,000-meter generator.

Florian Schmidt aacdc28d70 Meters: record events from the UI, and book consumption in the months it accrued in
Two threads that ended up in the same files. One is navigation: a meter
swap that happened today had no click path at all, and most per-meter
tasks were reachable only by knowing which admin page owned them. The
other is attribution: readings on 1 August and 16 September showed six
weeks of water under September and nothing under August.

Meter events from the UI

Swap, counter reset, tank level, delivery and note are recorded through
MeterEventService rather than ad-hoc inserts, so the dialog's verdict and
the saved result come from the same Validate call, and every record or
delete recomputes the meter inside one transaction. MeterEventRules
decides which events a mode offers -- a tank has no register to swap, and
Correction is offered nowhere because nothing reads it.

A swap is stored as the event at T plus a manual reading of the new
register's start value at exactly T. That pairing is the whole trick: the
boundary window is (previousReading, reading], so the old register's tail
books at T and every later reading counts from the new start. Writing the
old final value as the reading at T instead -- the obvious thing -- double
counts the tail and then rejects every reading the new register produces.
Deleting a swap removes that start reading only while it is still the
untouched start value, and only Manual readings can be deleted at all.

Navigation

The meter page is now the hub: primary entry by mode, a "Record event"
menu, and Edit through a shared MeterEditor that also owns tank setup.
Other pages link into it with MeterLinks (/meters/{id}?tab=...&action=...),
whose action is consumed once after the interactive render and dropped
from the address -- the reverse order flashes the dialog and closes it,
because a circuit's first location change dismisses every open dialog.
The app bar gains a "Find a meter" dialog with the same quick entry.

A source that has no usable connector now links to creating (or enabling)
one and comes back to the same source dialog with the connector picked
and everything typed still there; the draft survives in a circuit-scoped
DraftStore, and the way back is a meter id rather than a URL, so the page
cannot be made to redirect anywhere else. The connector list shows which
meters use each connector, import batches list the meters and categories
they wrote to, the meter editor owns the meter's own cost categories, and
the dashboard's empty cost panel names the first missing step instead of
listing every admin page.

Months

A reading is an instant, and what it measures accrued over the time since
the previous one. Booking the whole delta at the closing reading misfiles
it whenever the interval crosses a month boundary, so a plain increase is
now divided at local month boundaries in proportion to elapsed time, each
share stamped inside its month and marked estimated: the meter recorded a
total, not a shape. The parts always sum to the original.

Imported monthly tables are the exception that keeps the golden fixtures
reconciling. "Mai 2026" carries the register at the end of May but is
stamped on the 1st, so the importer -- the only place that still knows
whether the date cell named a month or a day -- flags it MonthLabel, and
the engine reads it as the end of its month. Inferring that from the
stamp instead would catch day-dated rows: a sheet with "01.08.2026" in it
is not a monthly table, and reading it as one moves two thirds of July
into August.

ReadingTimeline is the single ordering built on that: effective time,
then stamp. The register normalizers walk it, and so do the decrease
guard and the event dialog, which is what stops them disagreeing about
which reading is "previous" -- a sheet imported after live readings of the
same month used to count that month twice, and a mid-month reading below
the month's end value was rejected as a drop. A swap detected in a
monthly table applies from the start of that local month, i.e. to the
first reading in it, and a recorded start value never counts above the
reading it lands on.

Every reader buckets in the configured timezone rather than a hardcoded
one, and turns a requested date into that zone's local midnight, so the
divided shares are read back under the months they were stamped in. The
zone id is normalised to its IANA form, because .NET accepts a Windows id
that PostgreSQL will not bucket by, and both are checked at startup.

Stored consumption is derived, so a rule change reaches a meter only at
its next reading -- weeks, for a meter read monthly. NormalizationUpgrade
records the revision and zone the stored series was built with and
rebuilds everything once at startup when either differs, each meter in
its own transaction. A meter that fails is logged, kept in
normalization_pending and retried at the next start: one bad series must
never keep the application down.

What an operator sees once

Existing charts change on the first start after the update: months that
carried a neighbour's use give it back. Rows of earlier imports from
monthly tables are marked as such before anything is recomputed, and if
that marking fails nothing is rebuilt or recorded, so the upgrade simply
runs again next time rather than shifting every imported month by one. A
wizard import whose date format was left on auto-detect is treated as a
monthly table when all of its rows sit on the 1st across at least two
months -- exactly how those rows were attributed before -- and each such
batch is named in the log, because a day-dated sheet always read on the
1st looks identical; revert and re-import it with the day format if that
is what it was.

Tests: 120 unit and 230 integration, including the reference fixtures,
which still reconcile month for month.

schmidt.florian ad896db051 Normalization: apportion a long unread gap across the months it covers
A counter delta is booked at the reading that closes it. That is right at the
reporting cadence -- a monthly series books December against the 1 January
reading, which is what the reference sheet does -- and wrong after an outage.
Observed on Solar 1: 78 days of generation arrived as one July row, leaving
June looking like the array was switched off.

An interval containing two or more complete calendar months is now divided
across them in proportion to elapsed time. The meter recorded a total, not a
shape, so every row a split produces is marked Estimated. The sum is exact: the
final segment absorbs the rounding remainder, so a split never creates or
destroys energy.

Counting whole months *contained* rather than boundaries *crossed* is what
makes the rule safe. A monthly series contains exactly one whole month per
interval and is untouched, so the golden fixtures keep measuring the normalizer
rather than the splitter; and a reading landing hours late cannot tip the rule
and hand the new month a sliver. GapSplittingIsInertOnFixturesTests asserts the
rule declines to fire on every reference interval, so this cannot drift into
the oracle unnoticed.

Not apportioned: swap and reset amounts (explicit corrections booked at their
event -- apportioning one would rewrite a number the operator supplied), a
rejected decrease, and a zero delta, which would otherwise fan out into rows
that say nothing.

Segments are stamped at their end, keeping the existing convention that a row
records the period ending at its timestamp -- so nothing shifts relative to how
unsplit intervals are already labelled.

schmidt.florian 62d102c335 Ingestion: derive consumption on ingest, and poll HA in minutes not seconds
ci / build-test (push) Successful in 1m13s
Live ingestion wrote the raw reading and stopped there. Import, the REST push
endpoint and the meter editor all recompute afterwards; the MQTT/Tasmota/HA
path was the one that did not, so a polled reading landed in `reading` and
every derived figure stayed frozen at the last import. Observed on a
GenerationCounter: 45 readings, 44 consumption rows, generation pinned to the
register value of the last imported reading.

Recompute inline rather than behind a debounce. Normalizing a whole meter is
cheap at metering cadence and a background dirty-set worker is machinery this
does not yet need; the remark on RenormalizeAsync records when it would.

Fixes a latent bug this surfaced in NormalizationService: ExecuteDelete drops
the consumption rows in the database but leaves them in the change tracker, so
a second recompute on the same context threw an identity conflict on
(meter, time, kind). One worker scope ingesting two readings was enough to hit
it. Detach the stale entries after the delete.

Poll interval is now minutes, default 60, replacing seconds/60. A meter answers
"how much this month, what will it cost" — an hourly sample answers that
exactly as well as a per-second one, with far less raw volume (SDD §5.5). The
`pollSeconds` key no longer binds, so existing sources fall back to the 60
default and move from every-60-seconds to hourly, which is the intent. A source
that had deliberately set e.g. 300 seconds also lands on 60 minutes.

Two test cleanups now delete consumption before the meter: live ingestion never
produced any before, so the FK had nothing to trip on.

schmidt.florian e23df37a3f Connectors: allow secrets to be entered in the UI, encrypted at rest
ci / build-test (push) Successful in 1m12s
Reference-only secrets (SDD §6.4) meant adding a connector required editing a
file on the server and restarting the service. In practice that leads to the
token being pasted into the env-var *name* field, which fails with "environment
variable '<token>' is not set" and gives no hint what went wrong.

Add a second storage form, chosen per connector: type the secret in and it is
encrypted via ASP.NET Core data protection before it is stored. The env-var
reference stays as an equal alternative — this widens the choice rather than
replacing it. Exactly one form survives a save, so a stale secret cannot linger
and silently win; EndpointSecret.Resolve is the single resolution path.

The guarantee that matters is preserved: no plaintext in the database, so
pg_dump and JSON exports carry nothing usable. The trust boundary is stated
plainly in §6.4 — the key ring is on disk, so this protects against leaked
database content, not an attacker who already has the host, which is the same
boundary an env var has.

Details worth noting:
- Key ring defaults to /var/lib/metervault/keys, outside the app directory,
  because the LXC updater republishes /opt/metervault on every update. Docker
  gets a named volume. Overridable via MeterVault__DataProtectionKeyPath.
- Undecryptable ciphertext (key ring lost) falls back rather than throwing: an
  ingestion worker on a timer should degrade, not crash.
- The stored secret is never sent to the browser; a blank field means
  "unchanged", not "cleared".
- MQTT usernames are stored as-is — §6.4 covers tokens and passwords, and
  encrypting a username would only blank the field on every edit.
- ExportService drops *_enc values: bound to the originating key ring, so
  useless where an export would be restored. Expect to re-enter after a restore.
- HaConnectionTester now takes a resolved token, so the admin UI can test a
  token that has been typed but not yet saved.

SDD §6.4 and §9 updated to describe both forms rather than contradict the code.

schmidt.florian e223278771 M7: release polish — export/import, docs, easy docker push
- Easy docker push (MQTTower ergonomics + the image push it lacks): VERSION file →
  version-tag.yml (semver-guard auto-tag) → docker-publish.yml (buildx multi-arch → GHCR,
  registry centralized for one-line retarget to git.finalfactory.de) + ci.yml + build-and-push.ps1.
- Verified end to end: deploy/Dockerfile builds; docker compose stack (app + timescaledb) comes
  up healthy; /healthz and the dashboard respond in-container.
- JSON config export/import (ExportService) with id remapping on restore + GET /export, POST
  /import endpoints; round-trip test preserves meter→type, meter-scoped tariff, category links.
- README, HA/Tasmota/MQTT wiring guide (docs/wiring.md), Unraid template.
- CLAUDE.md updated to reflect the built codebase.
- i18n: locale-aware number/currency formatting (de-DE); full de UI string localization deferred.

95 tests green (56 Core + 39 integration).
