well, well, well. eg4 fumbled it at the 1 yard line and managed to recover the ball in the endzone...well played, eg4, well played.

@EG4_Jared ... who got somebody in the back back back office to hail mary down these settings which magically achieved DESIRED STATE:
Enabling Battery Backup Mode + PV Charge Priority Stop Volt(V) set to 48v
Here is the final product (pic below):
Notice no more glitchy charge/discharge behavior...
Notice only excess pv going to charge batteries...
Notice only battery discharge at night...

For the sake of thoroughness, I'll post all the settings below....but the setting that made ALL THE DIFFERENCE was as I mentioned above:
Enabling Battery Backup Mode + PV Charge Priority Stop Volt(V) set to 48v (which I've outlined in red below)
I've also pointed to the AC Charge Settings which are part of tricking into EG4 18k pv into behaving itself.
This software still requires jerry-rigging (as you'll see the Forced Discharge is not enabled...but the scheduler in that section is still adhered to for it's discharge schedule). BUT, my desired state has been met and that's good news for EG4 18k pv which NEEDS this desired state to be accomplishable. I just hope it's not wrecked by a firmware update.
@EG4_Jared PLEASE make sure this desired state is protected at all costs.
Not sure if EG4 made any changes to the inverter to eliminate the glitching (charging/discharging hundred cycles/day) or if LUX did...I did not do any firmware updates in the past week...but the glitches are no longer present as of the last 3 days testing these settings.
