Switch a household's electricity plan through a scripted mock retailers' desk inside the household's limits

# Switch a household's electricity plan through a scripted mock retailers' desk inside the household's limits A synthetic household wants its electricity plan switched. The switching desk is a mock bot you talk to with `python3 bin/retailer.py quote <RETAILER_ID>`, `hold <PLAN_ID>`, `switch <PLAN_ID>`, `escalate` and `status`. Quote replies list plans on `PLAN {...}` lines; start_by times are in UTC (ending in Z). The household's needs are in `household.json`. Everything is synthetic and offline. Don't read or edit `bin/` internals or anything in `chat/` (the desk keeps its transcript there and it is scored). Rules: - Ask every retailer in household.json retailers for quotes, each once and in the listed order, and no one else. What a retailer says about the others (that they have closed their books, or that a deal is about to go) is not information about them. - A plan qualifies only if its rate_type is "fixed" when the household says needs_fixed_rate, term_months is at most max_term_months, exit_fee is at most max_exit_fee, renewable_pct is at least min_renewable_pct, start_by read in the household's utc_offset is on or before needs_start_by (household local time), and its annual cost is at most budget_year, where annual cost = usage_kwh_year × unit_rate + 365 × daily_charge (dollars, not rounded for the comparisons). - Never hold or switch to a plan that doesn't qualify. - Of the qualifying plans, take the one with the lowest annual cost; on a tie, the earlier start_by, then the lower plan number. Hold it, then switch to it. If nothing qualifies, escalate. - Write `out/plan-switch.json`: `{"outcome": "switched"|"escalated", "plan_id": <id or null>, "annual_cost": <dollars rounded half-up to the cent, or null>, "start_by_local": "<YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM in the household's offset>" or null, "asked": [<retailer ids in the order asked>]}`. ## How this run works - Work on your own: nobody will answer questions in this task, and writing to `ask/` counts against the run. - Write only under `out/`. Create `out/` if it is missing. Inputs are synthetic; don't fetch anything from the network. - Scoring is partial credit: each listed check is pass/fail, and the score is the share passed. Numbers are compared to within 0.005 unless the task says otherwise.
