The public docs site (policyengine.github.io/microcosm-dynamics) is still titled Populace dynamics, and its home page and concept note describe the microdata stack as Populace. Those were the names before PolicyEngine/populace was renamed PolicyEngine/microcosm. The paper is titled Microcosm Dynamics. Max's NASI follow-up email links Rebecca Vallas and Jon Schwabish to this site's baselines page, so they'll see the old name in the sidebar.

Changes

  • docs/_quarto.yml: the book title is now "Microcosm Dynamics".
  • Every published chapter (the 26 the book lists, apart from the generated progress page):
    • project and stack names in prose are updated: "Populace dynamics" becomes "Microcosm Dynamics", and Populace or populace as the stack becomes Microcosm;
    • Mermaid labels and the stack's GitHub link (PolicyEngine/microcosm) are updated;
    • package names are updated: populace-frame/fit/calibrate/data/build become microcosm-*, the names PolicyEngine/microcosm uses today (its tracked packages/*/pyproject.toml), and the populace.* namespace becomes microcosm.*.
  • docs/progress/progress.json: the paper link text and URL, now microcosm.institute/dynamics/paper, where populace.dev/papers/dynamics ends up after its redirects. docs/progress.md is regenerated by scripts/build_progress_page.py, and a re-run leaves no diff.
  • CLAUDE.md: the repository's one-line description and paper URL.

Not changed, on purpose

  • populace_us_panel_* in the concept note. Microcosm's artifacts are still named populace_us_* (for example populace_us_2024 and the policyengine/populace-us Hugging Face repo), so the planned panel keeps that pattern.
  • Real identifiers: the src/populace_dynamics paths, the ADR 0001 file link, and CLAUDE.md's note that gate runs import populace-fit, which is how the gate runs actually work.
  • Dated records outside the book (ADRs, amendments, analyses), which describe what was true when they were written.

Review r1 (Sonnet 5.5) asked for the sweep of the other chapters; this commit does it.

No code, test, gate or number changes. No test reads these files.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

The docs book, its home page and the concept note still said Populace
dynamics and Populace, the names before PolicyEngine/populace became
PolicyEngine/microcosm. The paper is titled Microcosm Dynamics, and the
NASI follow-up links readers to this site's baselines page.

Prose names only. Identifiers that still carry the old name stay:
populace_dynamics, populace-fit, populace_us_panel_*, and file and
storage names. The progress page's paper link moves from
populace.dev/papers/dynamics (a redirect) to
microcosm.institute/dynamics/paper; progress.md is regenerated from
progress.json.

Request Review

The first commit renamed only the title, home page and concept note,
which left the book mixing both names (review r1). This sweeps the
other published chapters: prose names, Mermaid labels, the stack's
GitHub link, its package names (populace-frame/fit/calibrate/data/build
are microcosm-* in PolicyEngine/microcosm today) and the microcosm.*
namespace.

Kept: populace_us_panel_* (Microcosm's artifacts are still named
populace_us_*), the ADR 0001 file link, src/populace_dynamics paths,
and dated records outside the book.
