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.

Florian Schmidt 0319e5527f Release 0.2.0
ci / build-test (push) Failing after 38s
version-tag / tag-if-newer (push) Failing after 35s
First release carrying the German UI. Editing VERSION on master is what
tags v0.2.0 and publishes the image, so this is the whole change.

Florian Schmidt bfa0b537ee i18n: ship the UI in English and German
ci / build-test (push) Failing after 35s
The last open item on the M7 list. Number and currency formatting was
already locale-aware, but every string in the UI was an English literal,
so a German instance read half in each language -- German data, English
chrome. This translates all of it and adds the machinery to keep it
translated.

Strings live in Localization/Strings.resx (English, neutral) and
Strings.de.resx. The neutral file generates a strongly-typed accessor at
build time, aliased as S in _Imports.razor, so components reference
compiled properties -- @S.Common_Save, not a string key. That choice is
the point: across 4,500 lines of markup, a key lookup that silently
falls back to its own name is a defect you find in production, while a
renamed property is a build error. Generation runs in MSBuild rather
than the IDE designer, so dotnet build alone reproduces it anywhere.

Resource fallback is the hazard here. Ask for a key the German satellite
lacks and ResourceManager quietly serves the English one -- correct at
runtime, disastrous at release time, because a half-translated build
looks perfectly healthy. StringResourceTests reads each satellite with
tryParents: false, which is the only way to see what one actually
contains, and fails on a missing or blank translation, a placeholder
that changed arity, an orphan, or a key nothing references.

Three things needed more than substitution:

- Domain enums reached the screen as bare identifiers. They stay bare in
  the model -- they are persisted as text and appear in the REST API, so
  their names are part of the data contract -- and DisplayNames is now
  the single place that decides how each value is spoken. Every arm ends
  in a fallback returning the identifier, so a value added later cannot
  throw mid-render; EnumDisplayNameTests is what stops that safety net
  quietly becoming the shipping behaviour.

- Infrastructure was writing display text: FlowService's "Other (X)",
  MeterPeriodView's "Generation"/"Consumption", the HA connection-test
  verdicts, the updater's snackbar, the CSV importer's row warnings.
  Each now returns an outcome value and the UI supplies the words, which
  is where the reader's language is known. Diagnostics that are not ours
  -- an HTTP status, systemd's stderr, an exception message -- are passed
  through untranslated, and every English summary is kept alongside the
  outcome so log lines never move with the UI language. The UpdateRunner
  change is additive only; no gate was touched.

- Importer warnings carry their arguments rather than a finished
  sentence, so the numbers inside them pick up the reader's grouping. A
  register that reads 2.940,19 everywhere else must not read 2940.19
  only inside a warning.

Switching language is a redirect through /culture/set followed by a full
reload, not an interactive state change: a Blazor Server circuit is fixed
to the culture of the request that opened it. That makes the endpoint a
redirector taking its target from the query string, so anything but a
local path is refused rather than followed. Preference order is the
cookie, then Accept-Language, then MeterVault__Locale -- an instance can
be pinned to one language and a reader can still switch.

Locale keeps its documented default of "en". Format now follows
CurrentCulture instead of a hardcoded de-DE, so an instance with nothing
configured and a browser asking for English will show English number
formatting where it previously showed German; set MeterVault__Locale=de
to pin the old behaviour. The importer's de-DE parsing is untouched and
stays that way -- that dialect is a property of the spreadsheets, not of
whoever is looking at the dashboard.

Anything that comes from the database -- meter names, energy-type display
names, category names -- is user data and is never translated.
