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.

schmidt.florian cedd60ab45 Audit fixes: batch recompute, negative-baseline percentages, key-ring persistence
ci / build-test (push) Successful in 1m17s
Three defects found reviewing the last few commits.

Deriving consumption on ingest made the batch reading endpoint quadratic. A
recompute rewrites a meter's entire consumption series, and POST
/api/v1/readings ran one per reading -- 500 readings for one meter meant 500
full rewrites. IngestByMeterAsync takes renormalize:false and the endpoint
normalizes each touched meter once after the batch.

Percentage change divided by a possibly negative baseline. A net-export meter
going from -100 to -150 exported half again as much and would have been
reported as "+50%", reading as more consumption. A non-positive baseline now
reports no basis rather than a confident lie.

The data-protection key ring had no persistent home outside Docker Compose. The
LXC installer now creates /var/lib/metervault/keys at 0700 -- the app would
otherwise create it under the default umask, leaving a key ring world-readable
-- and the Unraid template maps it, since without that every UI-entered secret
was lost whenever the container was recreated. README documents the variable
and the trust boundary: keys on disk protect against leaked database content,
not against an attacker who already has the host.

schmidt.florian 95c51842e8 Meter detail: lead with periods and change, not register totals
ci / build-test (push) Successful in 1m23s
The headline tiles were lifetime consumption, a raw reading count and the
register span. None of those answer why someone opens a meter: how much this
month, more or less than last, where the year lands, what it costs. A
cumulative counter's register value is an accident of when the meter was
installed.

MeterPeriodService buckets consumption by calendar month in the instance
timezone -- via date_trunc(... AT TIME ZONE) rather than EF grouping, because a
reading at 00:30 local on 1 January is 23:30 on 31 December in UTC and would be
booked to the wrong month (SDD §10). It reports generation for a generation
counter and consumption otherwise, so a PV meter stops claiming it consumed
0 kWh.

Month- and year-to-date are compared against a projection of the current period
rather than its running total. Three days into a month, "12 kWh vs 340 kWh last
month" reads as a collapse in usage when nothing has changed. The projection is
straight-line on elapsed days -- wrong for anything seasonal, but the honest
reading of "at this rate" -- and the UI marks it with a leading ~.

A 12-month bar strip gives the shape at a glance. A meter with nothing
normalized yet returns an empty history rather than a flat line, which would
look like a meter reading zero.

Register span, reading count and lifetime total move into a collapsed panel.
Still there when needed for an audit, no longer the first thing you see.

schmidt.florian 09cd435c2b Admin write-CRUD, Home Assistant connector config, wiring audit
ci / build-test (push) Successful in 1m19s
Three requested phases.

1) Admin section (SDD §8.7) — MudBlazor inline-dialog CRUD, consistent pattern,
   delete guards, snackbar feedback, shared Confirm helper:
   - Energy types: create/edit/delete (blocks delete when meters reference it).
   - Meters: create/edit/delete; recomputes consumption when mode/baseline
     changes (NormalizationService over a fresh factory context, in a tx);
     delete cascades data (consumption+readings are Restrict → removed first).
   - A meter's ingest sources: manage on the meter-detail Sources tab
     (add/edit/delete MQTT/Tasmota/HA sources with typed config).
   - Tariffs: full CRUD (scope/component/value/validity).
   - Cost categories: CRUD + member management (meter or energy-type members).
   - Connectors: ingestion_endpoint CRUD (MQTT broker + Home Assistant);
     secrets referenced by env-var name only, never stored.
   - Settings: read-only effective-config view (settings are env-driven and
     reproducible, so an editable form would change nothing — kept honest).
   PV role is now editable on meters (MeterMeta.SetRole can clear a role).

2) Read Home Assistant — extracted a shared public HaEndpointConfig (was a
   private record in the worker), added HaConnectionTester (powers the connector
   "Test connection": checks base URL + env-resolved token, optionally reads one
   entity). Configuring an HA connector + an HA source on a meter drives the
   existing REST-poll worker end to end. (WebSocket push stays a future
   optimization; REST poll already reads HA.)

3) Wiring/placeholder audit — swept every OnClick/Href: all handlers are real,
   all internal links resolve to real routes, no TODO/stub/placeholder code.
   Fixed one genuine gap: MainLayout had no drawer toggle, so the nav was
   unreachable on narrow screens — added a hamburger button.

Tests: +6 (MeterMeta.SetRole role-removal; HaConnectionTester fail-closed
guard branches with a throwing HttpClientFactory proving no network on bad
config); render test now covers all admin routes. 69 Core + 45 Integration =
114 green. Live-verified in Docker: all admin pages 200, drawer toggle present,
Settings shows real effective config.

schmidt.florian 1282acf82c SDD §8 panels (PV/oil/meter-detail) + fix reference-data-in-Docker
Complete the SDD §8 dashboard views that were deferred at the M5 boundary,
and fix a shipping bug that left the Docker demo empty.

Bug: "Load reference data" created meters/tank/tariffs but imported zero
readings in Docker. Root cause: sampledata/ was excluded by .dockerignore and
never copied into the build stage, so the App csproj's linked Content glob
resolved to nothing at publish time; ReferenceDataImporter then silently
skipped the missing CSVs after already writing its marker meter, leaving the
DB permanently "loaded" but empty.
  - .dockerignore: stop excluding sampledata/
  - Dockerfile: COPY sampledata/ into the build stage
  - ReferenceDataImporter: fail-fast (validate CSVs exist before the marker
    meter) and throw instead of silently skipping a missing file
  - Program.cs + MeterVaultOptions: opt-in MeterVault__SeedReferenceData
    (compose METERVAULT_SEED=true) for a one-command populated demo

New SDD §8 panels (read models in Infrastructure/Dashboard, Blazor pages):
  - §8.4 Solar/PV (/solar): generation from GenerationCounter meters;
    self-consumption / autarky % / self-consumption % / savings derived from
    meters tagged total_load & grid_import via Meter.Meta role config
    (MeterRoles/MeterMeta) — nothing hardcoded by name.
  - §8.5 Oil/consumable (/consumables): tank level (cm→L calibrated), fill
    gauge, deliveries log, burner runtime, effective L/h (fixed/empirical),
    forecast-to-empty, tariff cost, monthly series.
  - §8.6 Meter detail (/meters/{id}): raw readings, normalized consumption,
    source status, tariff timeline, events, measured-vs-estimated markers.
  - Reusable SeriesChart component; nav links; Meters list rows link to detail.

Tests: MeterMetaTests (Core, +10); DashboardRenderTests extended to assert the
three panel services compute real figures and the new routes render (108 total,
all green). Live-verified in Docker: seed imports 302 readings / 347 consumption
rows; panels render (generation 16,481 kWh, oil 3,967 L) cross-checking the DB.
