Reflection

Daily Summary So Far — this cycle will be validated at the next planning cycle.

Hypothesis

Testing: Guardrail-compatible extreme-day moisture posture: request band-relative values that the dispatcher can realize, then taper only after observed VPD recovery. Expected outcome: Dew margin remains above 8F with no condensation alerts; VPD-high stress still occurs under structural heat but house-too-dry alerts should be shorter/fewer than Saturday, and guardrail events should drop relative to the 305-event evaluated plan.

extreme clear hot-dry Sunday after Saturday guardrail-heavy VPD stress; forecast VPD has positive bias but corrected prior still shows severe dry ramp

aggressive pre-cool/wet assist and structural heat acceptance

Parameter rationale

mister_water_budget_gal180.0 → 300.0; new local day and 97-100F/RH 11-17% ramp begins after sunrise

avoid water-budget clipping during Sunday VPD recovery while dew margin stays above 8F

mister_engage_kpa0.82 → 1.27; current guardrail is already clamping stale/resource taper values during live VPD-high risk

materialize near the active vpd_high+0.05 rather than requesting values that get held or clamped

mister_all_kpa1.02 → 1.47; zone VPD spread reached 0.54 kPa and dry ramp is broad-house, not isolated

bring all-zone rotation on around vpd_high+0.20 to +0.25 during persistent dry stress

fog_escalation_kpa0.2 → 0.15; hot-dry VENTILATE overlaps 07:00-17:00 fog window and VENT_COOL_FOG_ASSIST recently improved VPD error

use the 7x fog path during peak dry ventilation when dew/RH gates allow

mister_pulse_gap_s30.0 → 22.0; corrected VPD prior exceeds band from 09:00 through evening

increase effective wet duty during peak stress without relying on invalid band widening
