### Purpose & model

4-way reversing valve for heat-pump mode swap (heating ↔ cooling). Routes compressor discharge/suction between indoor and outdoor exchangers according to `mode` (or boolean heat/cool).

Ideal model: port permutation with negligible ΔP/Δh; real models may add leakage or pressure drop.

### Residuals

Port coupling residuals matching the selected flow graph for the active mode.

### Ports

Four refrigerant ports (naming depends on implementation: e.g. compressor discharge/suction, indoor, outdoor).

### JSON (main)

| Key | Meaning | Default |
|-----|---------|---------|
| `mode` / `reversing_mode` | heat / cool | – |

### Calibration

Usually none; treat as topology switch.
