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

Hypothesis

Testing: Guardrail-compatible persistence through a three-day 100F hot-dry sequence; judge success by fewer VPD-stress/vent-moisture-gap alerts and fewer held-by-guardrail events, not target hugging. Expected outcome: For the midnight-to-sunrise window: dew margin stays >=8F, no cold stress response is needed, and VPD remains near/inside the served corridor. For Monday peak: wet/fog assist is available before VPD blows out, water budget does not clip peak recovery, and VPD-high/vent-moisture-gap alerts are lower than Sunday even if heat misses remain partly physics-limited.

continue aggressive band-coupled moisture during the third hot-dry day

Parameter rationale

mister_water_budget_gal240.0 → 300.0; new local day with 100F/RH 10-15% peak and prior 17.3h VPD-stress alerts

avoid water-budget clipping during peak VPD recovery while dew margin remains above 8F

mister_engage_kpa0.82 → 1.27; current VPD is served but corrected VPD becomes severe after 09:00; guardrails repeatedly reshaped off-band requests

materialize S1 mist near the dispatcher-owned vpd_high+0.05 rather than relying on guardrail correction

mister_all_kpa1.02 → 1.47; zone VPD spread recently exceeded 0.5 kPa and vent_moisture_capacity_limit alerts fired during hot ventilation

bring all-zone rotation near vpd_high+0.22 to +0.25 during broad-house dry stress

fog_escalation_kpa0.2 → 0.15; hot-dry VENTILATE overlaps the 07:00-17:00 fog window and fog is the 7x wet path

reduce VPD-high band error during peak dry ventilation without changing crop bands

mister_pulse_gap_s30.0 → 22.0; solar near 900 W/m2 and RH near 10-15% from midday through evening

increase wet duty at peak while using evening transitions to reduce churn after observed recovery
