Please clarify the above, as wiring both the input and output of an
inverter to a distribution panel IS really a bad idea, and doesn't
conform to ABS or NEC codes........

The panel would be split in some way, so the inverter output can't be
connected back to its own input.

One possibility would be to have a breaker feeding only the
inverter/charger, and the inverter's output feeding a couple of
breakers that are electrically isolated from the main input - those
breakers would get power only through the inverter's transfer relay.
