Run complete. Here's my summary report:

netzbetreiber-replies run 2026-08-12T07-08-55: Processed 25 of 38 pending inbox messages (13 deferred to next run) — 8 auto_ack, 14 answer_pdf, 1 answer_complete, 1 answer_partial (Buchen, follow-up drafted), 1 human_queue (OsthessenNetz — their domain returns HTTP 403 to every automated fetch method tried). Extracted full §14a module data for 15 operators, including recovering a wrong-link case (Bad Honnef, via data-pdf-url HTML attribute) and resolving netzplus's earlier flagged data-quality gap from the FAIRStrom mismatch. 187 operators now have findings exported (173 complete) and pushed to Stefanie's sheet (187 Findings + 825 Outreach rows).

No bounces, do_not_contact, wrong_entity, question_back, or reroute this run. Because 13 of the 38 fetched messages are still untriaged, the mailbox isn't fully drained — per the skill's own precondition, reminders and followups.mjs send --all did not run this time (render_reminders self-skipped correctly); those, plus the 13 pending messages, carry over to the next run.

Worth flagging: osthessennetz.de blocks all automated fetching (needs a human to grab that PDF manually), and three new Modul-3 seasonality/time-window variants surfaced (Q3+Q4-only, Q2+Q3-only, and a midday-not-nighttime off-peak window) — details logged in the journal for future runs.

fetch_mail.mjs pulled 16 new messages (all matched); combined with the 13 left over from the previous run, pending_mail.mjs found 38 total pending, capped the worklist at 25 (oldest first) — 13 remain for the next run. Processed all 25: 8 auto_ack, 14 answer_pdf, 1 answer_complete, 1 answer_partial (Buchen, followup drafted), 1 answer_pdf→human_queue (OsthessenNetz, see below). No bounces, do_not_contact, wrong_entity, question_back, or reroute this run. Since 13 of 38 fetched messages are still untriaged, the mailbox is only partially triaged — per the skill's own precondition, did not run render_reminders.mjs's send step or followups.mjs send --all this run (render_reminders.mjs self-skipped as expected: "13 untriaged message(s)"). Ran export_findings.mjs (187 operators, 173 complete) and push_sheet.mjs (187 Findings rows + 825 Outreach rows pushed OK).

• osthessennetz.de returns HTTP 403 Forbidden to every automated fetch attempt — plain curl, curl with a spoofed Chrome/Safari User-Agent and Referer, and the WebFetch tool all got 403 on both the linked PDF and the domain root. First time in this campaign an entire domain has blocked every fetch method tried (previous JS-rendering or 404 cases were always workable via WebSearch). Routed to human_queue rather than guessing — a human needs to open the link in an actual browser. Worth trying again in a future run in case it's a temporary WAF rule, but don't burn time on it reflexively.
• Bad Honnef AG (SNB973356062049) repeated the "wrong link in the email body, but the real Preisblatt is still on the same domain" pattern first seen with C. Ensinger — their reply linked an Eigenerzeugungsanlagen/Solar feed-in page, completely unrelated to §14a Netzentgelte. Found the actual current Preisblatt by fetching the operator's /stromnetz/ page and grepping the raw HTML for data-pdf-url attributes (the PDF link wasn't a plain <a href>, it was a JS-download-button's data attribute) — worth checking data-pdf-url/data-* attributes specifically when a page's visible links don't include the expected PDF but WebFetch's rendered summary hints a download button exists.
• Netzgesellschaft Lübbecke mbH (SNB934185023519) gave no link at all, just "alles auf unserer Website" — resolved via a plain WebFetch on the operator's homepage asking it to find the Netzentgelte PDF link, no WebSearch needed this time.
• netzplus GmbH & Co. KG (SNB954504134696) — the answer_partial flagged 2026-08-04/08 (they'd sent a FAIRStrom retail heat-pump tariff link instead of §14a data) is now resolved: this run's reply contains the actual Netzentgelte Preisblatt with full Modul 1-3 data.
• Three more Modul-3 seasonality variants confirmed/added this run, broadening the pattern catalogue beyond the "Q1+Q4 only" majority and "ganzjährig identisch" cases already known:
  • netzplus (SNB954504134696) validates only in Q3+Q4 (Jul-Dez) — the mirror image of the common Q1+Q4 pattern.
  • Remstalwerk (SNB979950878543)'s Preisblatt explicitly headers its Modul-3 table "Für die Quartale 2 und 3" — yet another reversed pattern, and the excerpt read contained no corresponding Q1/Q4 table, so it's unclear whether those quarters use a flat Standardtarif or something else; recorded with confidence: medium and a review_note rather than assumed.
  • Bad Wörishofen (SNB948741734467) uses identical time windows in all four quarters, but the Niedriglasttarif (NT) window sits at 10:00-15:00 — midday, not night (Standardtarif nights/evenings, Hochtarif 17:00-22:00). First operator seen in this campaign with the "cheap" tariff window at midday instead of overnight — almost certainly tied to local solar generation hours rather than grid demand. Worth watching for at other operators, since it inverts the usual mental model of "NT = nighttime."
• Stadtwerke Elmshorn's own Preisblatt PDF labels its Modul-3 validity table "Quartal 3 und 4" but gives a date range of only 01.10.-31.12. (which is Q4 alone) — a labeling inconsistency in the source document itself, not a transcription issue. Recorded verbatim with confidence: medium and a review_note rather than guessing which quarters are actually meant.
• Stadtwerke Bad Hersfeld's Hochtarif time window is genuinely garbled in their own official Preisblatt PDF — printed as a single instant "12:00" plus a range "17:45-19:30" instead of two clean ranges (their own emailed summary text has the identical garbling, so it traces back to the source document, not an email transcription error). Recorded verbatim rather than guessing the probable intended windows (likely 11:45-12:15 and 17:30-17:45, based on adjacency to the Standardtarif blocks either side).
• Stadtwerke Buchen (SNB922393870476)'s site is JS-rendered (netze/strom page returns only "Lade Inhalt..." on both plain curl and WebFetch) and WebSearch only turned up stale pre-migration jdownloads URLs that 404 — unlike the sachsen-netze/swte.de precedent, WebSearch didn't find a working current link this time. Drafted a followup asking for the direct PDF.
• Confirmed the "Q1+Q4 only" pattern at EZV Energie, Bamberg, Bad Honnef, EVKR, Herzo Werke, Netze Duisburg, and ovag Netz (HT/NT only) this run — still clearly the majority case. Arnstadt Netz and Netzgesellschaft Lübbecke both confirmed "ganzjährig identisch" instead.
