Live Linear Snapshot

• Project Complex Circuit Load Balancing is In Progress with target date 2026-03-23.
• Latest project status update was posted on 2026-03-24.
• COR-10 is Done, completed on 2026-03-24.
• COR-11 is In Progress, updated on 2026-03-26.
• At review time, the live Linear mirror also listed COR-19 as a blocker, but canonical repo scope treats that as later Vector DERMS work rather than a COR-11 dependency.

Delivered Scope Confirmed In Code

COR-10

• The rebalance path uses hierarchical electrical-topology projection when usable_power_calculation_version >= 3.
• bf-manage-core derives a load-balancer subset model from the complex microgrid representation and passes it into the existing capacity-allocation entry point.
• The currently integrated package behaviour consumes power_node_graph for connector-based strategies and preserves the legacy path when no topology is available.
• Circuit-node topology limits continue to use the configured default/safe circuit capacity, which matches current load-balancing behaviour.

COR-11

• bf-manage-core derives charger-circuit, charge-point, and connector nodes in memory from persisted first-level grid-connection nodes plus existing site data.
• GET /api/depot/{depot_id}/microgrid returns deterministic topology errors (422) when the canonical derived topology cannot be assembled.
• bf-manage-web renders a read-oriented Microgrid topology and diagnostic surface that lets operators inspect grid-connection, circuit, charger, and connector structure and supporting asset details.
• The currently integrated load-balancing effect of that projection is connector-based; charger-based strategies still use the existing charger-allocation path.

Remaining Scope And Gaps

• The main closeout caveat for COR-10 and COR-11 is scope clarity: the delivered integrated behaviour is connector-based, and that should stay explicit in any story completion or review handoff.
• The remaining charger-based parity work is now captured as a separate canonical follow-on story in stories.md.
• Microgrid cycle summary, branch constraint visibility, and the WA-PTA validation scenario remain separate downstream stories (COR-12, COR-13, COR-14) and were not re-opened by this review.

Outputs From This Review

• The complex-circuit canonical story and specification now remove COR-19 as a dependency and place that later work back with Vector DERMS and follow-on microgrid scope.
• The spec and review note now make the connector-based integration limit explicit.
• The active story set now includes the separate charger-based parity story mirrored as COR-35.
• This review note captures the delivered scope and the remaining downstream scope without changing Linear state.
