test_bus_balance_exact → test_merit_order_dispatch: Renamed to reflect what it actually tests. Added explicit per-source flow assertions (src1=[20,20], src2=[10,10]) instead

Subject: [PATCH 12/43] Key features now tested:
- mandatory=True/False - forces vs optional investment
- effects_of_retirement - penalty for NOT investing
- InvestParameters + StatusParameters - combined sizing with on/off behavior
- previous_flow_rate - scalar and array forms for uptime/downtime carry-over
- Piecewise with gaps - forbidden operating regions
All tests assert on cost differences to ensure they fail on regression.

+```
+
+**Note:** Multi-period objective assertion — `fs.solution['costs'].item()` only works for scalar results. For multi-period, need to verify how to access the total objective (e.g., `fs.solution['objective'].item()` or `fs.model.model.objective.value`). Verify during implementation.

+- [ ] **`test_effect_period_weights`**

+- [ ] **`test_scenario_independent_sizes`**

+ - Structural: SOC start == SOC end within each cluster.
+
+- [ ] **`test_storage_cluster_mode_intercluster`**

+## Implementation order
+1. conftest.py helpers (B1)
+2. Single-period gaps (A1-A4, independent, can parallelize)
+3. Multi-period tests (B2)
+4. Scenario tests (B3)
+5. Clustering tests (B4)
+
+## Verification
+Run `python -m pytest tests/test_math/ -v --tb=short` — all tests should pass across all 3 optimize modes (solve, save->reload->solve, solve->save->reload).

Subject: [PATCH 23/43] Add comprehensive test_math coverage for
multi-period, scenarios, clustering, and validation
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
- Add 26 new tests across 8 files (×3 optimize modes = ~75 test runs)
- Multi-period: period weights, flow_hours limits, effect limits, linked invest, custom period weights
- Scenarios: scenario weights, independent sizes, independent flow rates
- Clustering: basic objective, storage cyclic/intercluster modes, status cyclic mode
- Storage: relative min/max charge state, relative min/max final charge state, balanced invest
- Components: transmission startup cost, Power2Heat, HeatPumpWithSource, SourceAndSink
- Flow status: max_uptime standalone test
- Validation: SourceAndSink requires size with prevent_simultaneous

Fix (flixopt/components.py:1146-1169): In _relative_charge_state_bounds, the scalar else branches now expand the base parameter to regular timesteps only
(timesteps_extra[:-1]), then concat with the final-timestep DataArray containing the correct override value. Previously they just broadcast the scalar across all timesteps,
silently ignoring relative_minimum_final_charge_state / relative_maximum_final_charge_state.
Tests (tests/test_math/test_storage.py): Added two new tests — test_storage_relative_minimum_final_charge_state_scalar and
test_storage_relative_maximum_final_charge_state_scalar — identical scenarios to the existing array-based tests but using scalar defaults (the previously buggy path).

Subject: [PATCH 25/43] Added TestClusteringExact class with 3 tests
asserting exact per-timestep values in clustered systems:
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
1. test_flow_rates_match_demand_per_cluster — Verifies Grid flow_rate matches demand [10,20,30,40] identically in each cluster, objective = 200.
2. test_per_timestep_effects_with_varying_price — Verifies per-timestep costs [10,20,30,40] reflect price×flow with varying prices [1,2,3,4] and constant demand=10, objective
= 200.
3. test_storage_cyclic_charge_discharge_pattern — Verifies storage with cyclic clustering: charges at cheap timesteps (price=1), discharges at expensive ones (price=100),
with exact charge_state trajectory across both clusters, objective = 100.
Deviation from plan: Used equal cluster weights [1.0, 1.0] instead of [1.0, 2.0]/[1.0, 3.0] for tests 1 and 2. This was necessary because cluster_weight is not preserved
during NetCDF roundtrip (pre-existing IO bug), which would cause the save->reload->solve mode to fail. Equal weights produce correct results in all 3 IO modes while still
testing the essential per-timestep value correctness.

+## [6.0.3] - Upcoming
+
+**Summary**: Bugfix release fixing `cluster_weight` loss during NetCDF roundtrip for manually constructed clustered FlowSystems.
+
+### 🐛 Fixed
+
+- **Clustering IO**: `cluster_weight` is now preserved during NetCDF roundtrip for manually constructed clustered FlowSystems (i.e. `FlowSystem(..., clusters=..., cluster_weight=...)`). Previously, `cluster_weight` was silently dropped to `None` during `save->reload->solve`, causing incorrect objective values. Systems created via `.transform.cluster()` were not affected.
+
+### 👷 Development
+
+- `TestClusteringExact`: Added exact per-timestep assertions for flow_rates, per-timestep effects, and storage charge_state in clustered systems (with non-equal cluster weights to cover IO roundtrip)
+
+---
+
## [6.0.2] - 2026-02-05
**Summary**: Patch release which improves `Comparison` coordinate handling.

Unit tests for the flixopt framework.
-This module defines a set of unit tests for testing the functionality of the `flixopt` framework.
-The tests focus on verifying the correct behavior of flow systems, including component modeling,
-investment optimization, and operational constraints like status behavior.
-
-### Approach:
-1. **Setup**: Each test initializes a flow system with a set of predefined elements and parameters.
-2. **Model Creation**: Test-specific flow systems are constructed using `create_model` with datetime arrays.
-3. **Solution**: The models are solved using the `solve_and_load` method, which performs modeling, solves the optimization problem, and loads the results.
-4. **Validation**: Results are validated using assertions, primarily `assert_allclose`, to ensure model outputs match expected values with a specified tolerance.
-
-Tests group related cases by their functional focus:
-- Minimal modeling setup (`TestMinimal` class)
-- Investment behavior (`TestInvestment` class)
-- Status operational constraints (functions: `test_startup_shutdown`, `test_consecutive_uptime_downtime`, etc.)

+ - Status tests → test_math/test_flow_status.py (9 tests + 6 previous_flow_rate tests)

+ - Effect tests → test_math/test_effects.py (11 tests)
+ Each test_math test runs in 3 modes (solve, save→reload→solve, solve→save→reload),
