0.4.1

Highlights

• 🔋 Battery limit edits apply immediately — Changing minimum charge and other battery SOC settings through HAEO number entities now updates the live optimizer without reloading the integration (#468, fixes #467).
• ⚡ New batteries appear right away — Creating a battery through the config flow now registers its device and entities immediately, matching grid and inverter behavior (#472).

User-Facing Changes

Bug Fixes

• Battery settings no longer require a reload — Edits to min_charge_percentage and related battery limit entities propagate into the running optimization model on the next cycle instead of staying pinned at the values from integration load (#468, #467).
• Battery creation no longer leaves a ghost subentry — The battery config flow writes policy rules before committing its own subentry; an eager reload during that step could tear down the update listener and skip device/entity registration. Reload is now deferred until the flow finishes (#472).

Developer-Facing Changes

Architecture

• Promote SocPricingSegment threshold and price fields to TrackedParam descriptors so the coordinator's element updater can refresh live LP values (#468).
• Defer and coalesce config-entry reloads while an element subentry flow is in progress via a reload_pending flag on HaeoRuntimeData (#472).

Testing & Documentation

• Add test_soc_pricing_live_update.py regression test for live threshold updates (#468).
• Add live Playwright guide test test_battery_device_repro.py for battery device registration (#472).
• Add unit tests for deferred reload behavior in test_init.py (#472).
