Stage status timestamp (IDM re-cleared): 2026-05-29T16:25:00Z
Illustrative re-clearing — production MMS runs a full intraday SCED. The IDM stage consumes the DAM result for this hour, applies each variable generator's revised forecast, and re-clears the residual gap.

Forecast adjustments at the IDM gate
Variable generators (wind / solar / aggregated renewables) revise availability; a slip beyond −5% makes the seller IDM re-bid eligible (the forecast-slip story). Dispatchable plant shows 0% slip.

Commit this IDM re-clear to the append-only SHA-256 chain
(idm_re_cleared event). Best-effort: with no D1 binding bound
locally this degrades to a "not recorded" marker rather than failing.
