+"""The US congressional-district published-benchmark contract, as executable rules.
+
+This package implements protocol ``us-cd-published-benchmark-v4`` (SHA-256
+``f7574a2a00734ce64ceb9c101ebc52469a176d37ee32b02c140d3ea2e6c568ea``) under an
+approval whose scope is **invented-fixture implementation only**. Candidate
+scoring and production ledger registration are explicitly not approved, and
+nothing here performs either: no candidate, population, ACS or Census artifact
+is read, no ledger file is created or appended, and no release, promotion or
+publication decision is produced.
+
+The approved document itself ships as a packaged resource beside
+:mod:`~microcosm.build.cd_benchmark.protocol` and is hash-verified on load. Every
+threshold, vocabulary and payload roster is compiled out of those bytes rather
+than retyped, so the code cannot drift from the contract without a test failing.
+Paths named inside the document are locators recording what was inspected; this
+package never opens them.
+
+Import cost: the modules below are pure and depend only on the standard library
+and this package. The two source adapters the contract pins are reached through
+:mod:`~microcosm.build.cd_benchmark.universe`, which defers those imports to call
+time, so importing this package does not load ``microcosm.build.us_runtime`` and
+does not load PolicyEngine.
+
+Layout:
+
+* :mod:`~microcosm.build.cd_benchmark.canonical` — canonical JSON and digests.
+* :mod:`~microcosm.build.cd_benchmark.reasons` — the closed vocabularies.
+* :mod:`~microcosm.build.cd_benchmark.protocol` — compile the approved document.
+* :mod:`~microcosm.build.cd_benchmark.metrics` — point and categorical checks.
+* :mod:`~microcosm.build.cd_benchmark.reference` — reference validity and precision.
+* :mod:`~microcosm.build.cd_benchmark.support` — origin support and concentration.
+* :mod:`~microcosm.build.cd_benchmark.origin` — typed original-source origin keys.
+* :mod:`~microcosm.build.cd_benchmark.approval` — injected approval and registration.
+* :mod:`~microcosm.build.cd_benchmark.ledger` — in-memory ledger records and states.
+* :mod:`~microcosm.build.cd_benchmark.binding` — candidate binding slots.
+* :mod:`~microcosm.build.cd_benchmark.universe` — the pinned source adapters.

+"""Typed original-source household origin keys, exactly as ``v4`` encodes them.
+
+``/source_household_origin/key_encoding`` fixes the encoding:
+``SHA256(UTF8(domain) + one NUL byte + canonical payload bytes)``, lowercase
+hex, where the payload is a canonical UTF-8 JSON array of four ordered typed
+pairs. Each pair is a two-element array whose first element is the literal type
+name. Integers are JSON integers, never booleans, and raw strings receive no
+normalization, trimming or coercion.
+
+The two arms differ in their third and fourth components, and this module names
+them per arm rather than generically, so a survey vintage cannot be filed as an
+income cohort year:
+
+* ACS — ``arm=ACS_PUMS``, authenticated original household *archive* member
+  identity, **survey vintage**, and the **raw ``SERIALNO`` string** with its
+  leading and lexical characters preserved.
+* ASEC — ``arm=ASEC``, authenticated original household member identity,
+  **income cohort year**, and the **native integer ``H_SEQ``**.
+
+Two limits carried from the document. A generated ``source_household_id`` or a
+normalized ``household_id`` is positional and cannot replace this identity
+(``/source_household_origin/ACS/not_equivalent``). Cohort or vintage
+distinguishes statistical source records; it does not prove different real
+households across years, and an origin key does not establish independent
+households across surveys or independent imputation donors.
+
+Physical staging paths, recompressed archive hashes and clone or cache
+filenames are not identities: the authenticated source manifest supplies
+``canonical_member_id`` and the original member bytes hash, and aliases must
+resolve to that same member before hashing. Typed components stay private in
+authenticated lineage; public diagnostics use counts and digests only.

+The closed parent and person-coverage owners still authenticate all three source
+cohorts. Only the selected 2024 observations become this new population. Exact
+key selection is an engineering operation with no inclusion-probability claim.
+No pooling coefficient, age adjustment, coverage classification or allocation is

+"""Closure-admitted PolicyEngine-US evaluation of the corrected money leaves.
+
+An output is admitted only when its complete static input closure is produced by
+this graph. The defaults allowlist is empty by decision, so a closure leaf this
+slice does not map blocks its root outright rather than being zero-filled or
+split into an unreviewed surface. Each admitted root carries a pinned closure
+identity; engine or closure drift refuses before any simulation runs.
+
+Outputs are formula-owned. They are retained in an evaluation artifact and are
+never written back as population cells.

+"""Full-source ASEC preparation for the current-money graph slice.
+
+The graph source is one directory holding exactly the reviewed restoration
+inputs: the raw-stage parent P, the household-observation attachment H, the
+restored person-income attachment T with its receipt, the three housing cohort
+HDFs, and the three official Census PERSON CSV members. No ZIP archive is
+accepted and no file is discovered by pattern: the roster below is the contract.
+
+The executor keys a directory source by relative name plus file bytes, which is
+a cache identity, not an authentication. Authentication stays where it already
+is — the pinned digests inside the reviewed loaders and the canonical byte
+replay of T — and this module simply refuses to run unless those loaders issue
+authority.
+
+The authenticated ``ReadyCurrentMoney`` exists only inside this call. What
+leaves is the canonical encoded body, a receipt of identities, and an
+operator-free frame whose dtypes have been promoted to graph tokens.

+"""The five-node ASEC slice: source, selection, leaves, engine and reported income.
+
+One directory source holds the reviewed restoration inputs. The CREATE kernel
+prepares the whole authenticated population from it; a FILTER kernel draws a
+seeded whole-household engineering sample and slices the money body to exactly
+the selected coordinates; a pure kernel derives the corrected monetary CPS
+leaves from that slice alone; and a final kernel runs the real PolicyEngine-US
+adapter for the four outputs whose complete input closure this slice produces.
+
+Two boundaries are load-bearing. The authenticated ``ReadyCurrentMoney`` never
+leaves the CREATE process: what travels is its canonical encoded body, typed as
+a subset artifact that no ``type(x) is ReadyCurrentMoney`` check accepts. And
+engine outputs are formula-owned, so they are retained in an evaluation
+artifact and never written back as population cells.
+
+Nothing here is a release, a calibration, a representative sample, or a tax or
+benefit score. Every receipt says so.

+"""The combined-survey PUF-support clone, as a real graph ``EXPAND`` stage.
+
+What this stage is
+------------------
+
+It takes an already combined ASEC + ACS population — every entity native, every
+``*_support_clone_index`` zero, household weights already IMPORTANCE — and
+returns the two-role host the PUF detail pass needs: the untouched native role
+plus exactly one full-attachment detail clone of every household, with each
+incoming household weight split evenly across the pair.
+
+It is only that. No PUF donor is read, no quantile forest is fitted, no draw is
+taken, no amount is placed, no tax or benefit value is computed, and no prior
+wage stage runs. The donor sampling weight ``S006`` never touches a host weight:
+this stage never sees a donor at all. The profile is development; nothing here
+is release eligible.
+
+Why it is an ``EXPAND`` and not a Frame handed to the executor
+-------------------------------------------------------------
+
+:func:`~.puf_support.clone_us_frame_for_puf_support` already performs this
+operation directly, and it stays the behavioral authority: the kernel calls it
+and validates its output with
+:func:`~.puf_support.validate_puf_clone_attachment`, exactly as the direct path
+does. What the kernel returns to the executor, though, is not that Frame. It
+returns what :class:`~microcosm.graph.KernelResult` declares for a structural
+node — per-entity clone lineage, the declared cell overlays, and explicit
+weights — and ``microcosm.graph.population._patch_expand`` does the structural
+work: it carries every column from each copied row, remaps every copied
+person's five memberships onto the copied groups, appends the strata, installs
+the weights and records the mass ledger. A Frame smuggled through as an opaque
+artifact would make the executor's lineage, membership, storage, weight and
+mass checks vacuous, so this stage does not do that.
+
+The ID relationship between the two paths
+-----------------------------------------
+
+The executor's contract is that every base row survives with its own id and new
+rows get new ids. The direct operator honours the same rule on this input: for a
+preassembled frame it copies the native block unchanged and shifts only the
+detail block by a decimal multiplier. The two paths therefore agree on raw ids
+here — but the stage does not depend on that. Lineage is derived from the
+operator's own output through the ``(entity_source_id, clone_index)`` bijection,
+with the positional pairing checked independently, and the receipt publishes a
+digest of that bijection. A comparison against the direct operator is a
+comparison by declared source and role, not an assumption about integers.
+
+What the node key binds
+-----------------------
+
+The kernel's implementation hash covers this module, the clone operator's module
+and the provenance owner's module, plus the pinned ``numpy``/``pandas``
+versions, so an edit to the operator moves every cached identity. The node's own
+key additionally binds its declared parameters, the artifact keys of the
+provenance columns it reads and — through ``population_input['base']`` — the
+whole base population version: its amounts, its ids, its row order, its
+provenance and its incoming weights. Changing any of those changes this node's
+key, so warm reuse can never serve a clone of a different population.

+"""Bind the carried prepared-ASEC evidence to the ASEC rows of a composed population.
+
+:mod:`.graph_composed_population` reads both authenticated sources whole and
+carries the prepared arm's four typed evidence artifacts plus its own
+``asec_frame_context`` unchanged. Those artifacts are **positional over the whole
+prepared ASEC population**, not over the composed rows, so the accepted
+prepared-slice kernels cannot attach: their contracts require an empty context
+metadata, an empty mass history, a design household weight and prepared-receipt
+rows equal to the population's rows. A harmonized composed population satisfies
+none of them. Those refusals are real, are reproduced in the test module, and
+nothing here weakens them.
+
+What this module adds is the missing edge and nothing else: one node that
+resolves which composed rows came from the ASEC arm and which source row each
+one is, and publishes that resolution as a typed artifact together with a
+:class:`~.asec_current_money_selection.SelectedCurrentMoney` sliced to exactly
+those source coordinates by the same reviewed selector the prepared slice uses.
+
+How rows are resolved
+---------------------
+By source arm and the arm's own pre-remap identifier, never by composed row
+position and never by the post-offset ``*_source_id``. For each entity the node
+reads ``*_support_channel`` to find the arm and ``*_spine_source_id`` for the
+arm's original ID, then locates each original ID in the arm-ordered identity the
+carried evidence itself declares: ``income_observations``' ``person_id`` for
+persons and ``housing_universe``' ``household_id`` for households. Both buffers
+are bound to the prepared receipt before they are used, so that ordering is
+receipt-authenticated rather than assumed. The resolution refuses an empty,
+duplicated, unresolved or non-monotone mapping, and refuses a cohort
+disagreement: the composed ``source_year`` must equal the source ``income_year``
+at the resolved positions, and the income artifact's own three declared
+crosschecks must agree cell by cell.
+
+Nothing is assumed about where the arm's rows sit. They need not be a prefix,
+need not be contiguous, and group tables may be sorted or interleaved with the
+other arm's; the mask is read, never constructed from a row range. Every
+reconstruction is then checked back against ``source_origin``: the origin
+document's per-entity provenance digests are recomputed against the actual
+composed tables, so a document that describes a different frame refuses.
+
+Why this module may read source provenance
+------------------------------------------
+Resolving "which arm did this row come from" *is* this node's operation, so it
+is a reviewed source-spine provenance owner. It applies no population treatment:
+it writes one boolean arm-membership cell per bound entity and no measurement.
+The measurements live in :mod:`.graph_composed_asec_measures`, consume this
+node's typed artifact and its declared row mask, and stay source-blind.

+"""Corrected ASEC monetary and demographic measurements over composed ASEC rows.
+
+Two pure nodes hang off :mod:`.graph_composed_asec_binding`. Each writes only
+under the binding's declared boolean arm mask, so the executor holds every
+native ACS cell — value and missingness alike — byte-identical: a masked
+``Owned`` is checked by ``population._patch_columns``, which refuses any change
+to non-owned storage. Where a column is new the opposite arm keeps a declared
+null; nothing is inferred as zero.
+
+Neither kernel reads a source-channel or spine-source-ID column. They receive
+the arm's rows through the declared mask and the arm's source coordinates
+through the typed ``arm_rows`` artifact, both already resolved and digested by
+the binding node. The arithmetic is the accepted one, unchanged and imported:
+:func:`~.cps_carried_current.derive_cps_carried_current_leaves` for the
+corrected leaves (which is also where ``age`` comes from, mapped from ``A_AGE``)
+and :func:`~.graph_asec_income.derive_reported_income` for the six reported
+observations. Raw source observations and their quality/zero/allocation axes
+stay inside those artifacts; only the computed quantities become cells.
+
+Nothing here is a release, a calibration, a transfer or a score.

+"""Compose the prepared ASEC population with the native ACS population.
+
+This is a separately versioned seam. The reviewed ``asec_raw_stage`` assembly
+kernel in :mod:`.graph_sources` keeps its kernel ref, contract, params, sources
+and node ids unchanged; nothing here rewrites them. What changes is only which
+authenticated ASEC source the ASEC arm reads: the reviewed prepared
+current-money directory (``us-asec-prepared-current-money-v3``) instead of the
+raw-stage checkpoint.
+
+Node *keys* are a different matter and do move. Every stage manifest binds the
+inventory and the bytes of ``graph_implementation.py``, which is in every
+stage's module list, and declaring a new stage necessarily edits both. So every
+existing US node key changes and every existing US cache is invalidated —
+exactly as when any other attested module changes.
+
+Why this is a two-source ``CREATE`` and not two parent populations
+------------------------------------------------------------------
+``Node.base`` is a single population version. A ``CREATE`` node may declare no
+base at all, a structural node may not declare a second ``population``, and a
+tuple ``base`` is refused as "not a structural node". So the executor cannot
+structurally combine two parent populations; an ``EXPAND`` over one arm can
+only invent entrant rows, never bind the other arm's rows or lineage. The
+composed population is therefore one ``CREATE`` over two declared sources —
+exactly the shape :class:`~.graph_sources.USAssemblyCreateKernel` already uses.
+The refusals are recorded in the review root's two-parent probe.
+
+The stack itself is not reimplemented. Sampling, stacking, provenance and
+allocation stay in :mod:`.stacked_spine` / :mod:`.spine_assembly`, and the
+harmonization node reuses :class:`~.graph_sources.USSpineHarmonizeKernel`
+unchanged by emitting the same two typed producer artifacts it declares.
+
+Nothing here is a release, a calibration, a certified population, a transfer or
+a score. It is an engineering intermediate whose receipts say so.

Alimony's pure ASEC split and cps_carried's split constants are bound, while their legacy consumer/source-manifest routes are inactive. V2 additionally authenticates HU from original T1, attaches it after housing status, preserves the pre-HU parent signature and carries native HU bytes plus selected-row ancestry with exact int64 promotion; pure ACS HU remains inactive. V3 additionally issues separate PAW_VAL/PAW_YN observations from the same official members and a derived six-column reported-income branch.

Explicit narrow source closure includes pure origin canonical encoding and the original household/person custody helpers, not the legacy prepared ASEC resource union. Original source JSONs and microunit YAML are the only packaged data. The isolated real source-codec loader is declared separately from the unchanged global five codecs. The runner reconstructs source authority on cold and warm invocations and checks actual populations, design ancestry, owners, weight kinds, mass ledgers and typed artifact descriptors. Optional PUF support cloning follows over both survey arms under existing clone implementation identities. No donor fit/draw, policy engine, calibration or target measurement is part of this stage.

It binds the same two codecs the composing CREATE binds rather than claiming an identity narrower than its actual inputs.",

Because the union is a superset of each parent, no existing module's covered-import set and therefore no existing stage identity moves. It binds the prepared codec and the ACS codec it actually reads; the raw-stage codec is not bound because this stage never reads it. Sampling, stacking, provenance and importance allocation remain in the unchanged stacked_spine/spine_assembly modules, and harmonization reuses the assembly_harmonize scope through its own kernel.

+"""Disjoint household age counts, and the composition that calibrates them.
+
+This is an ordinary source-blind population operator. It declares exactly what
+it reads — each person's age and household membership, and the household ids —
+and owns one int64 count column per declared age band. It opens no file, reads
+no source-channel or spine column, imports no rules engine, calculates nothing
+from a model, and never touches weights: these are unweighted head counts, and
+the graph executor owns every weight in the build.
+
+The graph contract splits that read surface in two, and the declaration follows
+it rather than working around it. ``age`` is an owned cell, so it travels in an
+input :class:`~microcosm.graph.Slice`. Entity ids and person-to-group
+memberships are structural: the executor puts them in every context table and
+no node owns them, so a ``Slice`` cannot name them. They are declared instead
+in the node's normative parameters, where they still enter the node key, and
+the kernel refuses a context whose household view carries anything beyond the
+declared id column.
+
+Every included person is counted exactly once. Group-quarters people are
+included because the activated target universe is the whole resident
+population, and their household membership is preserved rather than dropped.
+The bands are declared, contiguous from zero, disjoint, and closed by a single
+open top band, so an age outside every band is impossible by construction and a
+person can never fall into two.
+
+Refusals are explicit; nothing is silently dropped. An unknown, non-integer,
+negative or non-finite age refuses the node, as does a membership that names no
+household row, a duplicated household id, or a household row that no person
+belongs to. The last one matches the population contract itself, which requires
+each group row to be referenced by at least one person — a memberless household
+is a broken population, not a zero-count household.
+
+:func:`national_age_calibration_nodes` composes this operator with the existing
+`demographic_calibration_node`, unchanged. It emits no US frame-context
+artifact: a context written before reweighting must not be relabelled after it,
+so consumers read the executor-owned calibrated population and the diagnostics
+edge instead.

+"""Explicit activation of the direct-national ACS 2024 published age counts.
+
+A captured reference bundle is evidence, not permission. The accepted
+`national-derived-inventory.json` says so about itself: `target_activation` is
+false, `calibration_target_registry` is `not_created`, and every table carries
+`targets_allowed: false`. This module never reads that flag as authority and
+never edits the bundle. Authority comes from
+:data:`NATIONAL_AGE_ACTIVATION` — an immutable declaration, checked into this
+repository and reviewed as code, that names the source digest, the exact
+publisher cells, the target role, the population universe, the target period
+and the age convention. :func:`activate_national_age_targets` refuses unless
+the pinned bytes reproduce that declaration, and it then builds a **new**
+:class:`~microcosm.calibrate.registry.TargetRegistry` artifact.
+
+What is authenticated here: the inventory bytes against the declared digest;
+each selected raw Census response against the digest recorded for it *and*
+against its request descriptor; the publisher's own labels, group, concept and
+integer predicate for every selected cell; the single national row's
+`GEO_ID`/`us`/`NAME` identity; and a from-bytes re-derivation of every selected
+cell through the same :func:`classify_acs_value` precedence the district
+inventory uses. Cells are parsed from exactly the bytes that were hashed.
+
+What is *not* established here: that the resulting calibration is nationally or
+congressional-district valid, that any modelled person was observed in 2024, or
+that this registry may be released. B19001 and B25003 are reserved same-source
+holdouts and are refused outright — this module cannot activate them, and it
+cannot mark them fresh or unseen.
+
+Published margins of error are converted to standard errors with the Census
+90 percent factor and travel on the specs. The current Adam loss does not
+consume them. A cell whose margin is a controlled-estimate sentinel carries a
+**null** standard error, never zero: "no published variance" is not "no
+variance".

+"""Pure per-field growth contract and transform for a raw-source PUF successor.
+
+This is the first bounded slice of `microcosm#530
+<https://github.com/PolicyEngine/microcosm/issues/530>`_ item 2: *pin the raw
+PUF asset and implement PUF aging as a Microcosm stage, under the same uprating
+discipline as the other sources*. Nothing here reads a file, acquires an
+artifact, imports a country engine, or generates a factor. It compiles an
+explicit contract and applies it to a table that the caller already holds.
+
+What the contract makes explicit, per consumed field
+----------------------------------------------------
+Source reference year, target year, role (money / code / identifier / count /
+design weight), growth kind (nominal price restatement versus real per-return
+aging), sign branch, and the exact factor-series identity. A field with no
+declared rule is refused; a field with two rules that could both select the
+same row is refused; there is no implicit factor of one and no dispatch by
+string substring. Every factor is resolved by naming a **variable row** and two
+**year columns** of the factor table explicitly, and is applied to a given row
+at most once.
+
+Why the row/column axes are named rather than iterated
+------------------------------------------------------
+The archived producer looped ``for variable in uprating`` over a DataFrame
+pivoted to year columns, so it iterated years while believing it iterated
+variable names (:data:`ARCHIVED_PRODUCER_COMMIT`, ``datasets/puf/puf.py``
+against ``utils/uprating.py``). Its 2015→2021 step separately listed two of its
+three sign-branched fields in a fallback group as well, so for those two a
+sign-specific factor was followed by a second growth factor. Both failure modes are structural
+here: a series name is looked up in a variable-keyed mapping, a year is looked
+up in a year-keyed mapping, and the sign-branch cover is validated to be exactly
+disjoint before any array is touched.
+
+Authority
+---------
+A factor table declares its own authority, and only
+:data:`RELEASE_ELIGIBLE_AUTHORITIES` — ``reviewed_resource`` alone — can stand
+behind a release. ``invented_fixture_nonauthority`` proves the contract and the
+transform on invented levels. ``developmental_public_resource`` is for a
+bounded experiment on levels that really were read from a public publisher: it
+must carry the same receipt a reviewed table owes, plus the digest and
+retrieval time of the exact resource bytes, and it must declare its own divisor
+and index/total shape. Labelling such a table an invented fixture would be a
+misdescription, so it gets its own authority rather than a lie.
+
+What it does **not** get is a promotion path. Release eligibility is keyed on
+``reviewed_resource`` and nothing else, and a developmental table whose digest
+appears in :data:`REVIEWED_FACTOR_TABLE_DIGESTS` is refused outright, so an
+allowlist entry cannot launder a developmental resource into a release recipe.
+``reviewed_resource`` is itself refused until a reviewed table is generated,
+pinned, and added to that deliberately empty tuple. No authority can be
+promoted by passing a flag.
+
+Scope
+-----
+Money growth and design-weight growth are separate entry points, so a money
+transform cannot move a weight. Codes, identifiers and counts are declared but
+never written, and preservation is verified rather than assumed. The raw
+``RECID`` and the source-year AGI used for SOI band assignment are copied into
+separate provenance columns before any growth, so a later change of AGI basis
+cannot destroy the band input. Nothing here decides whether the pinned
+processed artifact is comparable to a rebuilt one; that artifact stays an
+opaque legacy input, outside this contract.

+"""Graph nodes that run the pure PUF growth transform inside a real population.
+
+Three nodes, in the shape the US build already uses for a source operation:
+
+``<stage>.boundary``
+    A ``FILTER`` node that keeps every person. It exists because a column a
+    ``CREATE`` node loaded can only be rewritten once a structural node has
+    opened a new version. Each kernel reconstructs the declared contract from
+    its parameters before its computation. The boundary's receipt states the
+    contract digest, the factor authority, and whether that authority could
+    ever stand behind a release.
+
+``<stage>.money``
+    Owns each declared money column as a rewrite, plus the two provenance
+    columns. Its whole computation is
+    :func:`~microcosm.build.us_runtime.puf_growth.apply_puf_growth`.
+
+``<stage>.design_weight``
+    Owns only the declared design-weight column, through
+    :func:`~microcosm.build.us_runtime.puf_growth.apply_puf_design_weight_growth`.
+    A separate node so the graph itself records that money growth and weight
+    growth are different operations reading different factor series.
+
+The contract travels as node parameters — the recipe identity document and the
+factor-table document, verbatim — so a changed contract changes the node key
+and nothing is served from the store across a contract change. Codes,
+identifiers and counts are read but never owned. Two executor mechanisms are
+what actually keep them byte-identical: a kernel's returned coordinates must be
+exactly the node's declared outputs, so it cannot write them at all; and the
+projected input view is frozen and its digest compared before and after the
+kernel runs, so it cannot mutate them in place either.
+
+The design weight this stage grows is the **raw source column**. Promoting it
+into a frame's typed design weights is a separate, later obligation with its
+own mass policy; nothing here touches ``Frame`` weights. The weight column is
+owned as ``float64``, as are the money rewrites; a base version carrying any
+of those columns as an integer would need a
+declared dtype change, which is a reviewed decision rather than a cast here.
+
+**The closed read set is the transform's, not the frame's.**
+:func:`~microcosm.build.us_runtime.puf_growth.apply_puf_growth` refuses a table
+carrying a column no rule declares. These nodes cannot make that promise about
+the *population*: a ``CREATE`` node upstream may have loaded raw money columns
+this contract never mentions, and they pass through the stage ungrown, because a
+node only sees the slices it declares. Closing that gap needs a source-stage
+contract that declares the full raw column inventory and checks the population
+against it; that is a documented remaining obligation, not something this stage
+silently covers.

+"""The thirteen-field 2015 PUF monetary source projection: the twelve accepted
+columns plus the publisher's reported ``E00100``.
+
+The reviewed twelve-field increment
+(:mod:`microcosm.build.us_runtime.puf_monetary_source`) decodes wages, the two
+interest columns, the two dividend columns, the Schedule C and Schedule F net
+results, the two pension columns and the three Schedule D quantities. The PUF
+growth contract additionally requires ``E00100`` as a declared money field
+(:class:`~microcosm.build.us_runtime.puf_growth.GrowthRecipe`), and the
+provenance AGI column that contract writes is a *copy of its own input*, not an
+independent source. So a growth run over this lineage needs a projection that
+carries reported AGI, and this module is that projection.
+
+Why a separate module, and what it preserves
+--------------------------------------------
+The twelve-field kernel hashes the bytes of ``puf_monetary_source.py`` and
+``puf_raw_source.py`` into its implementation hash, and the executor folds that
+hash into the artifact store key. Editing either module would move the accepted
+twelve-field artifact's key. A repository test also pins the twelve-field
+generator's own sha256 to the packaged document. **Nothing here edits any of
+them.** This module imports the reviewed decoder, the reviewed envelope
+helpers and the reviewed fact derivation, so the thirteenth column is decoded
+by exactly the code that decodes the other twelve rather than by a second
+implementation of the same contract. The private names it imports are imported
+deliberately, and each one is a piece of the reviewed contract this edition
+must not restate.
+
+What is the same
+----------------
+Every property of the twelve-field contract holds here unchanged: whole-dollar
+signed integer tokens on individual returns, the separately bounded
+disclosure-aggregate lexical grammar, the minimum-int64 out-of-universe
+sentinel, the ``amount_known == (disclosure_aggregate == 0)`` rule derived from
+the authenticated flag on every access, all 207,696 delivered rows retained,
+the three disjoint row classes, the binding to the reviewed status artifact,
+and ``target_year_use: refused_pending_independent_growth_decision`` on every
+column including ``E00100``.
+
+What is different
+-----------------
+One more column, and a different artifact identity. The type is
+``microcosm.us.puf_2015_monetary_agi_source_projection`` version 1, with its
+own magic line. A twelve-field payload fed to this reader is refused **by
+name** rather than reinterpreted, because the two artifacts carry different
+column sets and silently reading one as the other is exactly the failure the
+twelve-field module's superseded-magic list exists to prevent. Nothing here
+derives, reconstructs or reconciles AGI: ``E00100`` is the delivered reported
+field, and the document records that the booklets state no component identity
+between it and the twelve.

+"""The first monetary amounts typed out of the 2015 PUF delivery bytes.
+
+The reviewed raw source slice
+(:mod:`microcosm.build.us_runtime.puf_raw_source`) types six of the 222
+delivered main columns and the six demographic codes, reports
+``amounts_decoded: False``, and drops the other 216 main columns after
+checking their header name, order and record width. This module is the next
+bounded increment: it authenticates the **whole** delivered layout against the
+retained IRS booklets and decodes a small, explicitly enumerated set of
+monetary columns at source-return grain.
+
+Two things it produces, and one it refuses.
+
+*The full layout is authenticated, not merely counted.* The packaged document
+``puf_2015_monetary_source_projection.json`` locates every one of the 222 main
+columns and 7 demographic columns in the September 2022 booklet by the
+publisher's own position number and name, retains that record-layout row
+verbatim with its exact character span and span digest, and corroborates each
+against the February 2023 edition. Nothing about a column's role is inferred
+from an ``E``, ``P``, ``S`` or ``T`` prefix or from membership of the
+amount-field list: the publisher's own "Misc Codes" block sits inside that list
+and holds ``RECID``, ``S006``, ``S008``, ``S009``, ``WSAMP`` and ``TXRT``, none
+of which is money and one of which (``TXRT``) carries an implied decimal point.
+
+*Twelve monetary columns are decoded, each with its own declaration.* Wages,
+taxable and tax-exempt interest, ordinary and qualified dividends, the
+Schedule C and Schedule F net results, pensions received and pensions in AGI,
+and the three Schedule D quantities the booklets define. Each declares exact
+units, sign evidence, missingness policy, return grain, source-period status
+and source pin identity, and each is refused for target-year use.
+
+*No amount is grown, restated or combined.* The row period is unresolved — the
+cover says Tax Year 2015, the code definitions print FLPDYR 2011-2014, the
+disclosure section removed pre-2012 returns, and the reviewed header audit
+observed 2012-2015 — so every column carries
+``target_year_use: refused_pending_independent_growth_decision``. Component
+relationships the booklets do not state (qualified dividends inside ordinary
+dividends, pensions in AGI inside pensions received, ``E01000`` out of
+``P22250`` and ``P23250``) are recorded as unresolved and never computed.
+``E22250`` is absent from the delivered layout and from both booklets and is
+never aliased onto ``P22250``. An uncapped self-employment earnings derivation
+from ``E30400``/``E30500`` is refused with the publisher text that refuses it.
+
+Three properties are load-bearing.
+
+*Every delivered main record is projected.* All 207,696 rows, including the
+88,021 with no demographic row and the four disclosure aggregate records. The
+aggregate rows are tagged and every derived fact is reported for three
+disjoint row classes — aggregate, demographic-matched and
+demographic-unmatched — so an aggregate can never be averaged into a
+per-return statistic and an unmatched row is never a zero.
+
+*The individual-return amount universe is explicit.* A row is inside it if and
+only if its authenticated disclosure-aggregate flag is 0, and the decoded
+object exposes that rule as a read-only ``amount_known`` mask derived from the
+flag on every access. Individual returns keep the unchanged integer,
+whole-dollar, twelve-digit grammar, and a fractional token on one of them
+still refuses. The four disclosure aggregates are outside that universe: their
+typed slots hold the minimum-int64 out-of-universe sentinel — never a zero,
+which is a delivered value in these columns — and their delivered tokens are
+retained exactly under a separate, explicitly bounded lexical grammar that is
+an operational input bound for this pinned file rather than a publisher
+specification. Nothing converts an aggregate token to a number, rounds it,
+grows it or drops its row. The aggregate row class carries only token-class
+counts and a token width, so no header, receipt or summary can state an
+aggregate amount, and the exact row/token pairs are available only through a
+local accessor on the decoded object.
+
+*The projection is bound to the reviewed status artifact.* The node takes
+``microcosm.us.puf_2015_raw_return_status`` as an artifact input and refuses
+unless its own ``RECID`` sequence and aggregate flags are element-wise
+identical to that artifact's. ``demographic_status`` is carried from it rather
+than re-joined, so the two artifacts cannot disagree about which returns
+matched.
+
+*The raw producer has an explicit packaging revision.* This module imports
+:mod:`puf_raw_source` for its definition, codec and artifact decoder. Moving
+the unchanged definition bytes into ``us_runtime`` changed the raw resource
+loader and its implementation identity. New runs use that revised identity;
+previously accepted raw artifacts retain their original keys and evidence.
+The CSV reader helpers here remain local to this monetary projection.

+"""The developmental CPI-U price-restatement baseline for the 2015 PUF.
+
+One exact positive ratio of two published CPI-U all-items annual averages —
+313689/237017, 2015 to 2024 — applied to every known money field of the
+thirteen-field source projection. It restates 2015-file purchasing power at
+2024 prices. It is **not** income aging: it carries no category-specific
+nominal growth, no return-mass transition, and no claim that any field's real
+level changed. ``S006`` is declared with an explicit identity series so the
+no-mass-transition choice is recorded rather than implied.
+
+Three things this module is, and three it refuses
+-------------------------------------------------
+*It pins the resource.* The series is ``CUUR0000SA0``, U.S. city average, all
+items, not seasonally adjusted, ``M13`` annual average, base 1982-84=100. The
+levels are the publisher's own decimal text, copied verbatim, and the factor
+table it builds carries the ``developmental_public_resource`` authority: the
+retained bytes are checked against their named digest and their two records
+against the declared level text. Retrieval location and time remain caller
+metadata, not claims proved by hashing. The authority cannot become
+release-eligible.
+
+*It declares the recipe.* One ``nominal_price_restatement`` series for all
+thirteen money fields, one source reference year, one target year, ``RECID``
+as the identifier, ``S006`` as a design weight whose declared factor is
+exactly one.
+
+*It adapts the artifact to the money view.* The projection is an artifact and
+the growth transform consumes a table, so
+:func:`adapt_projection_to_money_view` joins the projection to the reviewed
+status artifact on ``RECID``, removes only the disclosure-aggregate rows,
+records what it removed, and hands back ``FLPDYR``, the demographic status and
+the unaltered integer ``S006`` separately. The growth itself is
+:func:`~microcosm.build.us_runtime.puf_growth.apply_puf_growth`; nothing here
+multiplies an amount.
+
+It refuses to interpret an aggregate token, to put the out-of-universe
+sentinel anywhere near a numeric input, and to declare that this baseline
+under- or over-states any 2024 amount. The public universes that would support
+such a statement are not matched to this file.

+"""The first typed artifact read straight from the 2015 PUF delivery bytes.
+
+One ordinary graph node reads the two accepted parent captures through a
+dedicated pinned raw-byte codec and produces one opaque, typed artifact:
+``microcosm.us.puf_2015_raw_return_status`` at source-return grain, 207,696
+rows in delivered main-file order.
+
+What it types is deliberately small. Six of the 222 main columns (``RECID``,
+``FLPDYR``, ``FLPDMO``, ``MARS``, ``DSI``, ``S006``) and the six demographic
+columns of the companion file. The other 216 main columns are checked for
+header name, order and record width and then dropped: no amount is parsed,
+no growth factor is admitted, no household or person is invented, and the
+node owns no population columns at all. Its host population is whatever the
+caller names.
+
+Three separations are load-bearing.
+
+*Structure is not provenance.* :func:`decode_puf_raw_source` validates CSV
+structure against a definition it is handed. It authorizes nothing. The
+production wrapper — :func:`puf_raw_source_codecs` and
+:class:`USPufRawSourceKernel` — is what binds the closed packaged pins, and
+it refuses any definition whose canonical bytes are not the packaged file's.
+
+*Fixtures take an explicit non-production route.* :func:`fixture_definition`
+builds a definition marked ``route="test_fixture"``, which must carry the
+invented-fixture authority and must not restate a packaged source pin. There
+is no "expected hash omitted, so admit anything" path anywhere.
+
+*The private cap is private.* :data:`PUF_RAW_SOURCE_MAX_BYTES` is 128 MiB
+because the pinned main delivery is 126,034,649 bytes.
+:data:`microcosm.graph.codecs.RAW_BYTES_MAX_BYTES` stays at 64 MiB.
+
+Period semantics stay unresolved on purpose. The header audit observed
+``FLPDYR`` in {2012, 2013, 2014, 2015} while the booklet prints 2011–2014;
+the artifact records the raw code and the conflict, and resolves neither.
+``S006`` is kept as exact integer hundredths and never divided.
+
+The four publisher aggregate records stay in the artifact, tagged
+``disclosure_aggregate``, never disaggregated. The 88,021 returns with no
+demographic record carry ``demographic_status = 0``, the ``-1`` sentinel and
+empty lexical columns; absence is never spelled as a zero code.

+"""Measured ASEC at-interview coverage recodes omitted by frozen H5 inputs.
+
+The pooled ``census_cps`` inputs carry ``NOW_GRP`` and ``NOW_MRK`` for every
+income year, but their 2022 and 2023 person tables omit seven other recodes
+consumed by :func:`derive_us_cps_carried_inputs`.  Those omissions otherwise
+turn measured coverage into structural false values for two pooled vintages.
+
+This module restores the seven fields from the same SHA-pinned official ASEC
+person members already used for ``ED_VAL`` and ``PAW_TYP``.  Restoration is an
+exact ``(source_year, PERIDNUM)`` join with redundant Census identity checks;
+it does not predict, infer, or substitute any coverage value.

+"""Independent invented-source tests for the approved ACS housing-unit source bridge.
+
+Written against the approved v2 plan contract, not against the production
+module: no byte of ``acs_housing_universe_source.py`` or of the packaged
+``acs_2024_housing_universe.json`` was read while authoring this file, so a
+failure here is evidence about the contract rather than a restatement of the
+implementation.
+
+Every archive, member, header, identifier and row below is wholly invented. No
+genuine ACS/Census archive, candidate, target or dictionary file is opened,
+statted or referenced. Nothing here authenticates real data, and nothing here
+makes a scientific claim: the fixtures exercise the closed source rules only.
+
+Scope is the source producer/readback pair. ``prepare_acs_housing_population``
+builds a Frame and is deliberately left to the production author's own
+Frame/graph tests.
+
+Two reconciliation seams are collected in one place each, so integrating this
+file with the finished module is a rename exercise and never a semantic one:
+
+* ``NAMES`` - column, constant, filename and definition-name spellings.
+* ``EXPECTED_REASONS`` - exact refusal reason codes, asserted only once
+  ``REASON_CODES_AGREED`` is flipped to True after agreeing them with the
+  production author. Until then every refusal test still asserts the exception
+  type, message sanitisation, and that semantically distinct causes carry
+  distinct codes, which is the part that does not need agreement.

+No PUF is read, no artifact store is touched and no country model is imported.
+The delivery, the raw definition and the projection document are all built
+from literals here and travel the explicit ``test_fixture`` route. The CPI
+levels are the real published annual averages, because the point of the
+developmental authority is that a public resource may say so about itself; the
+resource body and URL below are fabricated fixtures, with the digest computed
+from those exact invented bytes. A genuine run must supply its retained body.

+"""Reusable target forests with the exact legacy sequential QRF draw protocol.
+
+Training advances a donor-only checkpoint independently of every recipient.
+Application consumes a normal :class:`QRFChainState` and the *raw*, ordered
+float64 recipient prefix, delegating to the existing gated draw implementation.
+This is not the stateless/keyed-uniform graph QRF protocol. Callers must retain
+the raw prefix as an immutable dependency; values alone cannot prove that a
+caller has not snapped or otherwise transformed them.
+
+Artifacts are PLATFORM_BITWISE and bind the graph platform fingerprint, exact
+runtime versions, and implementation source hashes. Their envelope is checked
+before unpickling. An expected content SHA detects corruption; it does NOT make
+an untrusted pickle safe. Only load artifacts from trusted local producers or
+an authenticated content store. The private fitted estimator is owned by one
+synchronous apply at a time (the existing predictor swaps its worker setting).

+"""Source codecs: the boundary from source bytes to a decoded input.
+
+A codec is registered in exactly one of two explicit modes, and a name
+belongs to at most one mode:
+
+*Frame mode* (:data:`SourceCodec`, :meth:`SourceCodecRegistry.register`,
+:meth:`SourceCodecRegistry.load`) decodes a source into a population
+:class:`Frame`. A ``CREATE`` node's kernel calls it to build a population,
+and so does any other node whose source really is one — a held-out reference
+frame read for scoring, say.
+
+*Raw-byte mode* (:data:`SourceBytesCodec`,
+:meth:`SourceCodecRegistry.register_bytes`,
+:meth:`SourceCodecRegistry.load_bytes`) decodes a source into immutable
+``bytes``. A lookup table (an NPZ of ratios, a CSV crosswalk) is not a
+population, and an import kernel that turns one into a typed
+:class:`~microcosm.graph.decl.ArtifactOutput` must be able to read its real
+bytes without a Frame codec registered as a pretence. Neither mode can be
+loaded through the other: the mismatch is a :class:`TypeError` naming the
+mode the codec actually has, so no caller receives bytes where it declared a
+Frame.
+
+Three codecs ship with the graph runtime:
+
+``frame-store`` (Frame)
     Loads a content-verified Frame from the path of a ``ContentStore`` frame
     object directory.
 
-``csv-tables``
+``csv-tables`` (Frame)
     Loads one CSV per entity using ``schema.json``.  The schema may give a
     ``tables`` mapping (otherwise ``<entity>.csv`` is used), global or
     per-entity dtype mappings, a ``strata_column``, and either (a) a weight

+"""Bounded full65 attachment to an independently retained upstream Population.

+This is a placement owner, not source admission or a source-successor issuer.
+The caller must already have qualified the complete survey predictor stages and
+canonical donor. The current diagnostic survey host has only five diagnostic
+features; neither its matrix nor a standalone Frame qualifies for this boundary.
+No missing predictor is supplied here, and prior wages are outside this chain.
+
+The upstream Population must already be an inherited version in which the output
+incumbents can be rewritten. These two ordinary nodes add no structural version,
+weight transition, or mass record. Retain independent expected state before
+execution and call the materialized verifier after cold AND required warm runs.
+KernelContext alone cannot expose metadata, owners or design anchors.

+Root preflight found seven JSON source definitions declared by the ordinary guard but omitted by the staged patch delivery. Added the exact previously reviewed resource bytes from the accepted full65 source projection; no new resource admission or genuine payload. Preserved source staging and earlier evidence.

+# US graph build: review guide
+
+This branch consolidates the US graph build work for review. The intended file
+supports national and 119th congressional district analysis from one population.
+It is still a development build: complete enrichment, fiscal calibration and
+release verification have not passed together.
+
+## Architecture and review order
+
+The construction order is ACS + CPS ASEC → combined survey multispine → PUF
+clone and donor enrichment → supported joint geography → rules evaluation and
+calibration → verified full and pruned exports. The PUF operator acts on the
+combined survey frame. A separate ASEC–PUF base is not the intended architecture.
+
+| Area | Main source entry points | What to review |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Graph execution and storage | `packages/microcosm-graph/src/microcosm/graph/{decl,executor,manifest,store,codecs,schema}.py` | Typed inputs and outputs, ownership, artifact ancestry, cache identity and nullable round trips |
+| Survey source preparation | `packages/microcosm-build/src/microcosm/build/us_runtime/{acs_population_catalogue,asec_population_catalogue,survey_population_preparation}.py` | Source identity, entity links, source universes and current income transformations |
+| Combined survey and clone | `us_runtime/{graph_composed_population,graph_survey_population,graph_combined_clone}.py` | ACS and ASEC composition before the clone; native versus detail channels |
+| Enrichment | `us_runtime/{full_puf_enrichment,graph_full_puf_enrichment,graph_current_survey_puf_transfer}.py` | Target ordering, conditioning, observed-value preservation and complete replay |
+| Conditional models | `packages/microcosm-fit/src/microcosm/fit/{qrf_target,graph_legacy_train,graph_legacy_apply_matrix}.py` | Reusable model artifacts, deterministic draws and target regimes |
+| Geography | `us_runtime/{puma_ladder,puma_ladder_sources,graph_geography}.py` | Joint county/district support, vintage and source/PUMA preservation |
+| Survey mass and calibration | `us_runtime/{survey_origin_budget,graph_survey_budget,graph_survey_calibration}.py`; `packages/microcosm-calibrate/src/microcosm/calibrate/{group_bounds,solve}.py` | Original survey mass, grouped bounds, fixed support and existing ungrouped solver behavior |
+| Compatibility | `packages/microcosm-build/src/microcosm/build/{frame_checkpoint,us_runtime/__init__}.py` | Current-main APIs, checkpoint metadata and existing country consumers |
+
+Paths beginning `us_runtime/` are relative to
+`packages/microcosm-build/src/microcosm/build/`.
+The branch contains a substantial consolidation; review each area and its tests
+before deciding how to land it. Shared runtime changes overlap with
+[#873](https://github.com/PolicyEngine/microcosm/pull/873) and Anthony's
+[#885](https://github.com/PolicyEngine/microcosm/pull/885). Their final contracts
+need reconciliation; this draft does not supersede either review.
+
+## Verification completed on the integration checkout
+
+- The first integration selection passed **36 tests**: eight solver, eleven
+  snapshot/storage, nine geography and eight public-facade controls.
+- After applying the independently reviewed replay correction, **57 enrichment
+  graph tests** passed at `dfa7f872cd3eba3c42adf5758cde8b3ca38f3d17`. These include
+  cold execution, required replay, reconstruction through a fresh Frame store,
+  inherited tax-unit values and malformed artifact/ancestry refusals.
+- The second run took 44.09 seconds wall time, 35.49 seconds CPU and 620.6 MB
+  peak RSS. Its 273 source/control files, 5,983 model declaration files and eleven
+  code resources matched before, after and in the external postcheck. The model
+  declaration checks did not execute the tax-benefit engine.
+- The CI test inventory accounts for all 413 tracked test files. This is not a
+  claim that all 413 files or the complete repository CI have passed locally.
+
+Both test selections use invented inputs. The replay correction also received
+an independent Fable source review that closed seven findings. That review did
+not rerun the tests or certify a population file.
+
+The ordinary execution receipts are identified by SHA-256
+`bd9f944ed95e08de5775b36bca2158c38dc18bed858e9d304ccdfa1f983a8d43`
+and `5f8fb487153db50826695d10a6341eb5bd621d88343af70c4ebfe472599528f2`.
+Private runtime records and generated population artifacts are kept outside this
+source PR. Receipt identifiers are audit references, not reproducibility inputs.
+
+## Component evidence and remaining work
+
+Separate component work has verified the national Census joint-geography source
+artifact: 2,462 PUMAs, 87,841 joint cells, all 50 states plus DC and 436 districts
+including DC. PUF source ingestion retained 207,692 ordinary records and excluded
+four disclosure records. A corrected SCF wage-code interpretation passed source
+preparation and model-mechanism checks. Those results belong to their respective
+component revisions; they do not establish a calibrated result on this branch.
+
+The following work remains open:
+
+1. Finish current survey predictors and demographic graph bindings, then connect
+   them to the genuine combined survey population.
+2. Complete the 59-output PUF donor profile, target-year growth and SCF loan
+   inputs. The existing 65-output mechanism remains a separately tested
+   compatibility path; a passing synthetic donor does not supply the missing
+   source information.
+3. Verify every applicable model input on each source/clone channel. The proposed
+   national/CD profile retains 161 required inputs, dropping block and tract
+   requirements while retaining state and county as model inputs. Prior wages
+   remain excluded. A source operator's existence is not complete cell coverage.
+4. Resolve repeated per-cell identity encoding in the survey verifier. One genuine
+   successor run reached persisted-artifact verification but exhausted its
+   two-hour CPU limit. That run failed; it is not a verified build. Performance
+   changes must preserve the identity bytes and pass small controls first.
+5. Run real model evaluation, national/CD calibration, holdout checks and complete
+   export/replay verification, followed by a dashboard bound to that exact file.
+   Check every pruned analysis file separately.
+
+These are active workstreams. No release, merge or deployment is implied by this
+draft, and the source changes do not relax the outstanding acceptance checks.

+The accepted local shared viewer remains a separate consumer. There is no package
+upgrade or competing generic graph shell in this consolidation.

Subject: [PATCH 020/255] Add canonical PUF donor and current survey predictor
 graph

Integrate the PUF59 profile, source-specific growth, receipt-bound donor codec, and current survey financial and demographic source owners. Fix checkpoint test coverage and pool registry import order, and document block-first US and small-area UK geography as pending build requirements.

+# PUF59 and current survey predictor implementation status
+
+The PUF59 profile fits and transfers 56 person outcomes and three tax-unit outcomes. Six detailed mortgage fields remain owned by the separate SCF producer. The historical full65 default remains available. PUF59 conditions on the source-specific PUF2015 filing-status class and capped return-size proxy, plus six monetary predictors. Its self-employment predictor includes ordinary and SSTB Schedule C income. Return-level Boolean outputs use an explicit incidence capacity of one; that is not a physical person count.
+
+The local PUF59/full65 regression run passed 128 ordinary tests. Those tests execute real weighted QRF fits, sequential target conditioning, draws, finalization, whole-Population preservation and required cache replay. They include excluded mortgage incumbent preservation and source-specific predictor checks. The run took 93.9 seconds and peaked at 622.7 MB RSS. These are invented mechanism fixtures, not held-out fit-quality or launch acceptance.
+
+Current survey financial completion passed 26 ordinary tests, including 15 ASEC demographic projection controls. The financial graph uses original ASEC design weights to fit interest, dividends and capital-gains outcomes for native ACS people. It preserves ACS observed wage/self-employment amounts and source-owned age-15 universe zeros. A draw is shared with its clone by source identity. The graph retains typed preparation, allocation and context evidence while separating the donor branch from survey allocation, avoiding a structural dependency cycle. Cold execution and required replay passed with the actual fitted model artifacts. The combined run took 121.4 seconds and peaked at 524.0 MB RSS.
+
+The source projection records the distinct survey observation, income and price periods. ASEC sex and state come from the retained original person and household sources, with allocation flags and unknownness preserved. Attaching those demographic projections to the graph is a separate pending integration step. The current financial model conditions on age and two earnings fields; sex/state conditioning and held-out fit quality remain explicit modeling work.
+
+Social Security handling remains a launch blocker. The PUF donor transports its total through the retirement component with modeled zero carrier columns for the other components. Those zeros do not establish absent recipient benefits. The current reconciliation code can treat unknown recipient components as zero and use equal component shares. PUF59 requires a source-qualified recipient basis, including observed ASEC component/type information and an explicit ACS completion path, before those outputs can support release acceptance.
+
+These source tests do not certify a national or congressional-district file, native-data fit quality, a country-engine result, or a release. The integrated checkout still needs its own checks after source formatting and composition.

+# Geography assignment in the population graph
+
+Design decision, 9 September 2026: assign one small census area to each household
+after constructing and harmonizing the survey spine. Derive larger geographies
+from that area using identified, versioned mappings. PUF and other enrichment
+clones inherit the location. Geographic support expansion, if needed, is a
+separate declared population operation with explicit identities and weights.
+
+This document records the intended contract and the implementation gap. It does
+not certify a new geographic source, assignment run or population file.
+

+  M[Versioned geographic mappings] --> D
+  D --> E[Enrichment clones inherit location]
+  E --> R[Rules and calibration]
+  R --> P[Pruned analysis file retains location]
+```
+
+## Country anchors
+
+| Country | Assigned household anchor | Derived geographies |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| US | Census block, with census vintage | Block group, tract, county, state, PUMA and congressional district using the declared mapping/boundary vintages |
+| England and Wales | 2021 Output Area | LSOA, MSOA, local authority, ward, constituency and region |
+| Scotland | 2022 Output Area | Scottish statistical areas, council area, ward, constituency and region |
+| Northern Ireland | 2021 Data Zone | Super Data Zone, local government district, constituency and nation |
+
+Northern Ireland's 2021 Data Zones replaced the 2011 Small Areas. Scottish
+Output Areas use the 2022 census. These are different source systems; the graph
+must retain the original area type and vintage rather than imply identical units.
+See [NISRA census output geography](https://www.nisra.gov.uk/statistics/census-2021-results/census-output-geography)
+and [Scotland's census general report](https://www.scotlandscensus.gov.uk/about/scotlands-census-2022-general-report/).
+
+Some larger boundaries do not nest exactly. England and Wales small-area estimates
+use best-fit mappings for wards and parliamentary constituencies. The derived
+edge must identify whether its mapping is exact, best-fit or another explicit
+approximation, with its source and vintage. A mapping convention cannot be
+presented as observed household location. See the
+[ONS methodology](https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/populationandmigration/populationestimates/methodologies/smallareapopulationestimatesqmi).
+
+## Required behavior
+
+- Respect observed source constraints, such as ACS PUMA and FRS region. Record
+  inferred geographic detail as modeled. Preserve observed source geography
+  separately from the assigned location.
+- Bind each draw to a stable household identity, seed and assignment definition.
+  Reordering rows or selecting an existing household must not redraw its location.
+  Changed source support or boundary mappings produce a new identified revision.
+- Assign household members and enrichment clones consistently. Materialized
+  county, district and other fields must agree with the selected anchor's mapping.
+- Show assignment and derivation as separate operations in the graph. Expose the
+  source constraints, support, sampling weights, mapping conventions and judgment
+  annotations in the inspector.
+- Refuse missing, ambiguous or incompatible mappings unless an explicit,
+  source-supported resolution rule is part of the assignment definition.
+- Verify inheritance and mapping consistency again on every pruned export.
+  Engine input profiles and geographic build invariants are separate contracts.
+
+## Existing implementation and next changes
+
+The US development composed graph attaches geography after harmonization, but
+`us_runtime/graph_geography.py` selects a joint tract/congressional-district cell
+and emits PUMA, county and district. It does not assign a Census block. Its prior
+national source and joint-support checks therefore do not establish block-first
+acceptance. The current survey/clone graph needs an explicit block assignment
+and derivation connection before enrichment. Block support and current district
+mapping require source review before acquisition or execution.
+
+The UK already has an area-based ladder in `uk_runtime/geography_ladder.py`.
+Its sampler selects a constituency within FRS region using household counts,
+then an OA within constituency using population; one selected ladder row supplies
+the other geographies. It currently consumes a shared seeded random stream, so
+stable household-keyed assignment under reordering and subsets still needs work.
+The graph should expose the final OA/Data Zone assignment and the mapping
+derivations explicitly, including that sampling convention.
+
+The Northern Ireland source builder currently infers Data Zone constituencies
+using the modal active-postcode constituency. Review the official
+[NISRA constituency aggregation and lookup resources](https://www.nisra.gov.uk/publications/census-2021-output-geography-information-papers)
+before choosing or replacing that approximation. Source existence is not
+acceptance of a particular lookup or its application to the population.

+# PUF 2015 canonical donor and 2024 transport
+
+These source owners turn the statistical 2015 PUF into an explicit return-level donor with 59 canonical outputs. They preserve raw fields, source status and documentary decisions separately from modeled values. The six detailed mortgage balance, interest and origination-year outputs belong to the downstream SCF stage.
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart LR
+    A[Authenticated PUF typed source] --> B[Observed and derived return fields]
+    B --> C[Eleven explicit baseline models]

+    D --> E[Source-specific 2024 monetary transport]
+    E --> F[Canonical donor with 59 outputs typed donor]
+    F --> G[Eight-feature PUF59 donor interface]
+```
+
+The source codec retains all ordinary returns, including those missing the demographic supplement. Disclosure aggregates retain their source lexemes but are excluded from individual donors. Neither a demographic gap nor zero reported exemptions means that a source return is dropped.
+
+## Count measurements
+
+PUF 2015 MARS 2 combines joint and qualifying widow(er) returns. The matching predictor maps the survey's separate widow category into that combined class. It is named `puf_2015_filing_status_code`; generic model filing status is unchanged.
+
+The corresponding `puf_2015_capped_return_size` equals one plus an extra unit for MARS 2 plus the sum of the four reported dependent-category counts. The source owner validates their disclosure caps by filing class. On the survey side, the matching measurement caps the reported dependent total before adding the filing-class units. The result is a statistical predictor, not a count of physical people or co-residents. Actual survey membership remains unchanged.
+
+The separate `puf_person_incidence_capacity` is one for return-level modeled zero/one QBI incidence. It is used only to validate the canonical outcome representation and is excluded from the eight fitted predictors.
+
+## Observed fields and explicit models
+
+The decoder emits 33 directly mapped or algebraically derived baseline fields. Eleven additional baseline outputs explicitly model source gaps: a normalized interest split, a component-neutral Social Security carrier, desired contributions proxied by realized deductions, incomplete tuition and employee-expense proxies, and active-partnership earnings. These transformations retain their assumptions in the receipt.
+
+The interest model uses the existing [IRS 2015 Table 2.1 workbook](https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-soi/15in21id.xls). It normalizes the four published component amounts within the source AGI band. Mortgage interest, points and mortgage insurance share the available home-interest leaf; the investment component alone enters investment expense. Complementary rounding preserves the source total exactly. This does not create a mortgage balance, origination year or observed loan structure.
+
+The QBI owner reproduces the archived data model's assumptions with RECID-keyed random draws, retaining a reusable full-cohort employee calibration. Its 15 added leaves and Schedule C replacement are modeled inputs. The statutory engine owns deductions and limits. Ordinary and SSTB Schedule C branches are summed for the donor's total self-employment predictor, matching the survey measurement.
+
+## Source-specific monetary transport
+
+The publisher's statistical 2015 convention is the input basis. Raw filing-year/month fields remain intact; the transform does not apply another row-year CPI adjustment.
+
+Wages and modeled W2 amounts use the [SSA average wage index](https://www.ssa.gov/oact/cola/AWI.html). Social Security carriers use [SSA COLAs](https://www.ssa.gov/oact/cola/colaseries.html) received from January 2016 through January 2024. This transports fixed entitlements and does not predict changes in recipient composition.
+
+Other income families use the observed 2015 and 2023 national amount/count cells of [IRS Table 1.4 and 1.4A](https://www.irs.gov/statistics/soi-tax-stats-individual-statistical-tables-by-size-of-adjusted-gross-income), with positive and loss magnitudes kept separate. The 2023→2024 step uses the [BLS annual CPI-U series](https://www.bls.gov/cpi/tables/supplemental-files/historical-cpi-u-202412.pdf), explicitly assuming stable real conditional amounts for that year. Expenses, UBIA and selected mixed model outputs use an explicitly named CPI proxy. Every monetary field has a declared rule; incidence fields are unchanged.
+
+Partnership and S-corporation reporting counts overlap, so their dollar components are summed with the common all-return denominator. Dividend residuals use the ordinary-dividend reporting universe and do not subtract overlapping recipient counts.
+
+The PUF short- and long-term capital fields remove the effect of carried losses. Published net-loss means that include carryovers cannot be substituted directly. The model uses current-year gross gain/loss components per all return as a declared proxy for signed net flows. The evidence retains both the carryover-adjusted reported net and component-difference net, including their unresolved residual. It does not attribute that difference to rounding without evidence.
+
+The observed series are source facts. Their application to individual donor amounts, the related-family substitutions, and the last-year bridge are modeling decisions. They do not establish forecast accuracy or current reporting incidence. A same-cohort CPI-only sensitivity is available. Source design weights are divided from S006 hundredths once and are never grown.
+
+## Validation status
+
+The ordinary verification executes real source decoding, the QBI model, growth, the deterministic typed envelope and the PUF59 donor interface at 64 and 2,048 invented records. It checks all 59 outputs, sign/zero preservation, physical type and knownness refusal, exact interest conservation, SSTB/base identities, source immutability, stable full-fit subset replay, artifact byte/value replay and malformed-input refusal.
+
+The 59 invented controls passed. The separately reviewed genuine construction then produced all 59 canonical outcomes for 207,692 ordinary returns in 23.07 seconds. The 64-return subset reproduced the full-cohort outputs when it reused the full QBI employee fit, and the typed donor passed byte/value replay through the canonical donor interface.
+
+Independent review subsequently found that the version 1 envelope could attach
+an old descriptive receipt to altered, domain-valid values. The version 2 codec
+now checks the row-ordered identity/weight/source-feature digest and all 59 output
+values against that receipt on encode and decode. It also pins the actual
+interest-band facts, verifies the embedded growth recipe, requires canonical
+JSON and physical integer row metadata, and makes CPI-sensitivity acceptance
+explicit. The corrected source passed 80 invented controls, including the 21
+new integrity cases. Formatting followed that run; the composed integration
+checkout still needs its own execution checks.
+
+The original genuine donor and evidence remain on version 1. A version 2 genuine
+construction or repacking requires separate verification, and the new decoder
+refuses old magic. Serialized receipt consistency does not authenticate an
+issuer, establish execution or confer release status.
+
+This result verifies source donor construction. Social Security component reconciliation, downstream SCF mortgage semantics, conditional-fit quality, recipient placement and calibration remain open release requirements. It does not certify a calibrated population or policy-analysis file.
+
+## Evidence bundled with the source
+
+The [national extract](evidence/puf2015-target2024/NATIONAL-GROWTH-EXTRACT.json) records the exact public workbook cells, units, hashes, family calculations and unresolved capital residuals. The [index transcript](evidence/puf2015-target2024/INDEX-VALUES.json) identifies the SSA and BLS values and retrieval sources; it is a transcription of retrieved values, not a hash of the original web pages. The [growth recipe](evidence/puf2015-target2024/GROWTH-RECIPE.json) assigns each monetary field a factor and interpretation.
+
+[Public workbook locators](evidence/puf2015-target2024/PUBLIC-WORKBOOK-SOURCES.json) provide the four official URLs and exact sizes and hashes without local cache paths. The recipe also preserves hashes of the original local acquisition receipt and extraction script. Those two local files are outside this publication bundle; their recorded hashes do not imply that a reader received them.

+## Verification and review scope
+
+The previously published head `a85c9cbb79081a980e7d3afe8916c80153de5bf8`
+passed 36 integration controls and 57 enrichment/replay controls on invented
+inputs. The 36 cover eight solver, eleven snapshot/storage, nine geography and
+eight facade cases. The 57 include cold execution, required replay, reconstruction
+through a fresh Frame store, inherited tax-unit values and malformed ancestry
+refusals. Source/control, model-declaration and resource pins matched before,
+after and in external postchecks; the tax-benefit engine was not executed.
+
+Those receipts are identified by SHA-256
+`ad8ab6d8761db3d21343bc1fc60023c0dfa305e1367622630a5de6c68892d62a`

+These checks do not certify subsequent source additions or the entire repository.
+
+CI exposed test-helper collection failures and a pool/registry circular import.
+This revision adds the test helper directory to pytest's path and moves the
+registry import after the pool functions it validates. Two fresh-process import
+regressions are assigned to the US-engine CI lane; their runtime result remains
+pending. No import-order result is inferred from an AST check.
+
+The corrected checkpoint test selection passed all 58 invented controls against
+the current integration checkpoint source, including nullable integer widths,
+missing-value masks, deterministic round trips and malformed v4 refusals. It
+took 5.36 seconds wall time and 348.5 MB peak RSS. All 45 source/control files,
+three provider pins and two code resources matched in the external postcheck.

+Fable's earlier replay review closed seven findings. A separate review of the
+published consolidation identified the checkpoint test gap and additional
+grouped-bound, metadata-store and facade coverage work, which remains open.
+Environment-specific prepatch byte fixtures do not establish portable CI byte

+"""Explicit ASEC demographic source contract: sex, its allocation flag, and the
+household reference-person code, restored from the pinned original CSV cohorts.
+
+Scope fence. This module declares and implements the contract and its reader.
+It is deliberately **not** wired into
+:mod:`.asec_prepared_source`: the root adjudication of 2026-09-06 authorised
+preparing this source code and tiny fixtures independently and authorised no
+additional full-source read and no new binding. Nothing here is executed
+against a genuine Census member by this lane.
+
+What the contract refuses to assume, stated once so a later reader cannot
+mistake an omission for an oversight:
+
+* A declared value range is not measured proof that every delivered token is
+  inside it. ``A_SEX`` is validated against its own printed codes, and a token
+  that is not a printed code leaves that person's sex **unbound**. Nothing here
+  maps "not 2" onto male.
+* ``AXSEX`` prints two codes inside a wider declared range. A token in the
+  range but outside the printed codes is an unresolved allocation provenance,
+  so it leaves that person's sex unbound rather than being smoothed into
+  "reported".
+* ``A_EXPRRP`` codes 1 and 2 are the printed, self-labelled household
+  reference person. They are the only admitted head evidence here.
+* ``P_SEQ`` labels no code in its own dictionary entry. It is carried and
+  diagnosed against the reference code, and it is never a fallback: a
+  household whose reference code is absent, duplicated or indeterminate stays
+  unbound even when exactly one of its members has ``P_SEQ == 1``.
+* ``A_FAMREL`` is a **family** relationship and is not read here. ``A_LINENO``
+  is a Basic-CPS roster line number read only as a join crosscheck. Neither
+  substitutes for the household reference code.
+
+Every printed fact below was read this session from the three pinned public
+dictionaries named in :data:`ASEC_DICTIONARY_AUTHORITY`, at the PDF pages
+recorded there, and the four entries are textually identical across the three
+years.

+## Declarative country capability
+
+Geography is a declarative country capability backed by shared graph operators.
+A country declares its atomic area type, code system and vintage, source mapping
+artifacts, observed-geography constraints and sampling-weight convention. The UK
+declaration can select an area system by nation. Adding a country should not
+require writing a country-specific assignment or derivation kernel.
+
+The shared assignment operator selects the atomic area using the declared
+support and stable household identity. Shared lookup/join operations derive
+larger geographies from identified mappings. If an input already has a qualified
+atomic area, validate and retain it. Source acquisition and normalization may
+still require publisher-specific adapters; they produce the common support and
+mapping contracts, rather than owning a separate assignment algorithm.
+
+Sampling and derivation remain executable graph operations with typed inputs,
+outputs and replay identity. A country configuration does not itself execute
+them. Mapping edges retain their relation type, including exact nesting or an
+explicit best-fit convention. Prefer existing graph lookup/join primitives where
+they support these contracts; introduce only the shared behavior they lack.
+
+The existing country-spec geography declaration is a starting point, but its
+legacy clone-and-assign contract and country-specific runtime references do not
+yet implement this shared atomic-area contract. Preserve those compatibility
+paths while the shared operators and country adapters receive their own checks.

Those zeros do not establish absent recipient benefits. The current reconciliation code can treat unknown recipient components as zero and use equal component shares.

+Add shared graph operators for atomic-area assignment and geographic derivation. Country declarations choose observed constraints, stable draw identities, sampling stages and versioned mapping relations. Preserve observed locations, reject ambiguous support, and verify mapping consistency on cloned or pruned populations. Existing country builds retain their current geography paths pending native support integration.

 ## Existing implementation and next changes
 
+The shared implementation now lives in `microcosm.build.atomic_geography` and
+`microcosm.build.graph_atomic_geography`. It provides four country-neutral nodes:
+`geography.support_import@1`, `geography.assign_atomic@1`,
+`geography.derive@1` and `geography.gate@1`. Countries supply declarations and
+normalized, pinned support files. The graph interfaces and legacy country
+operators are unchanged. Country configuration and native support integration
+remain necessary before these nodes can assign locations in a release build.
+
+The support contract uses deterministic NPZ bytes with no object arrays. It has
+one unique string code per atomic area; every mapping column identifies its
+source, vintage and relation, and every integer sampling-weight column identifies
+its source and basis. Nonnegative weights have a bounded exact total. A source
+adapter must resolve any nonfunctional crosswalk before admission; the shared
+lookup never multiplies households through a many-to-many join.
+
+Assignment conditions on all nonmissing observed constraints jointly. Declared
+stages can use different weights—for example, household counts to select a
+constituency followed by population counts to select its small area. Each draw
+uses the existing `keyed_uniform` protocol with stable source identity, the
+declared stream, system, stage, assignment definition and support digest.
+Selection uses an integer inverse CDF. Reordering, subsetting or adding unrelated
+households preserves draws. The numerical declaration remains `platform_bitwise`;
+cross-platform equivalence has not been established.
+
+The version-1 declaration lists `identity`, `stream`, three assignment `outputs`
+(`area`, `system`, `basis`), and `systems`. Each system supplies its atomic
+identity and source, a selector, observed constraints, an optional observed-area
+column, sampling stages and derived layers. Geographic codes use nullable
+strings throughout, retaining leading zeroes. An engine that needs integer
+storage must declare that conversion separately. A system without a particular
+layer produces missing values for that layer, which the integrity gate checks.
+The graph stores the canonical declaration in its normative `definition`
+parameter and exposes the stream separately; no graph parameter grammar changed.
+
+The 34 invented-data controls include real graph execution, cold and warm reuse,
+source-change invalidation, exact lookup metadata, independent sampling-boundary
+checks, three-system routing, observed-area retention, row/subset stability and
+clone/prune validation. All passed under the isolated control runner on
+9 September 2026. These checks establish shared operator behavior; they do not
+admit a Census/ONS source or certify any population's geographic fit. The gate
+checks mapping integrity, while the executor and build own structural lineage
+and population-quality acceptance. The country's chosen identity still needs
+verification across actual sampling rungs.

 The US development composed graph attaches geography after harmonization, but
 `us_runtime/graph_geography.py` selects a joint tract/congressional-district cell
 and emits PUMA, county and district. It does not assign a Census block. Its prior

 The source projection records the distinct survey observation, income and price periods. ASEC sex and state come from the retained original person and household sources, with allocation flags and unknownness preserved. Attaching those demographic projections to the graph is a separate pending integration step. The current financial model conditions on age and two earnings fields; sex/state conditioning and held-out fit quality remain explicit modeling work.

PUF59 requires a source-qualified recipient basis, including observed ASEC component/type information and an explicit ACS completion path, before those outputs can support release acceptance.
+Social Security handling remains a launch blocker. The historical PUF59 donor transports its total through the retirement component with modeled zero carrier columns for the other components. Those zeros do not establish absent recipient benefits. Its reconciliation code can treat unknown recipient components as zero and use equal component shares. The intended successor excludes these four outcomes from PUF enrichment, retains the survey's source-report totals, and conditions the remaining 55 outcomes on an additional Social Security total predictor. That successor is not yet wired into the native build.
+
+The additive current-source qualifier now verifies original ASEC total, reason and allocation literals against the live survey preparation and retained original member. It also binds the ACS 2024 issuance and SSP price adjustment. Both surveys preserve under-15 question-universe unknownness. ASEC may record combined family payments on one person's report; a reason code is not a separately observed component amount or an assignment to individual beneficiaries. See [Social Security source semantics](survey-social-security-source.md) for the source contract, judgment boundaries and unresolved model work.
+
+The qualifier and numerical basis pass 52 controls: 50 numerical/literal cases and two actual maintained source issuances on invented original inputs. They include reordered source identities, ambiguous reasons, allocation flags, exact requalification, unknownness and no input mutation. The corrected run took 67.6 seconds and peaked at 428.9 MB RSS; the receipt SHA256 is `2b9d8e45cec11a6ebda2ccc01c5f12374e794ec0c006ba6525f082fd6454049b`. An earlier run's two source tests exposed an incorrect capture-budget argument; the corrected caller uses the source owner's existing decoded-body bound while retaining exact CSV byte and digest checks. No native Social Security completion or beneficiary allocation has been accepted.
 
 The consolidated source passes a 314-case selected integration and identity suite, including the 128 profile cases, 26 financial/demographic cases, two canonical/growth wrappers, five metadata regressions and 153 identity controls. A subsequent diagnostic-option reconstruction correction passes all 16 current seven-node age-development tests, including late-mutation refusals. All source, model-source and resource pins survived external postchecks for each run. See the [review guide](us-launch-review.md) for exact revisions, receipts and exclusions.

+# Survey Social Security source semantics
+
+The source-report Social Security total precedes PUF enrichment. The current
+qualifier verifies the original observations and preserves their limits; it
+does not fit a completion model, assign individual beneficiaries, or certify a
+population. The intended PUF successor has 55 outputs and uses the retained
+total as a ninth conditioning input. Historical full65 and PUF59 behavior is
+unchanged until a caller explicitly selects that successor.
+
+## Source measurements
+
+The [2025 ASEC dictionary](https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/cps/datasets/2025/march/asec2025_ddl_pub_full.pdf)
+describes `SS_YN` and `SS_VAL` on PDF page 49. The question covers people aged
+15 or older and permits combined family payments on a person's report. A
+positive report is therefore not necessarily one individual beneficiary's
+payment. The qualifier preserves the source report's grain.
+
+The retained ASEC original member supplies `PERIDNUM`, household/line/age
+coordinates, `SS_VAL`, `SS_YN`, `RESNSS1`, `RESNSS2`, `RESNSSA`, `I_SSVAL`
+and `I_SSYN`. Source keys, the complete current cohort, raw member size/hash,
+live source issuance and exact current money values must all agree. Source
+year and income year are 2024; interview year is 2025. Carried reason fields
+are not a substitute for these original literals.
+
+The [2024 ACS dictionary](https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/acs/tech_docs/pums/data_dict/PUMS_Data_Dictionary_2024.pdf)
+defines combined `SSP`, its age-15 question universe, and allocation flag
+`FSSP`. The qualifier binds the retained 2024 ACS issuance and verifies
+`SSP * (ADJINC / 1000000)` against the prepared amount. This remains a rolling
+income window expressed in the survey's price basis. `FSSP` is not in the
+current native projection, so publisher allocation provenance stays explicitly
+unresolved; no observed-value claim is inferred from a missing flag.
+
+## Mapping judgments and unknownness
+
+The reason mapping is an explicit judgment at source-report grain. Retirement
+and disability map to their corresponding component. Widowed and surviving
+child reasons map to survivors; spouse and dependent child reasons map to
+dependents. A single resolved component receives the report total. Repeated
+reasons in the same component do not duplicate the amount.
+
+Distinct component reasons, missing reasons, code 7's combined child categories
+and code 8's residual category leave the component amounts unknown. The
+published reasons restrict possible components where they can; there is no
+reason priority, age fallback or equal-share default. Separately observed
+component amounts and individual beneficiary assignments are not claimed.
+
+An ASEC under-15 `SS_VAL=0` is a not-in-universe sentinel. Both ASEC and ACS
+under-15 beneficiary totals remain unknown in the projection, with the raw
+ASEC zero retained in the separate literal table. An in-universe zero remains
+a known report total of zero. Contradictory universe/recipiency combinations
+and invalid nonempty codes refuse; blank literals remain distinguishable
+from invalid codes.
+
+An eventual component model may normalize nonnegative scores within allowed
+components, preserving the source total and already resolved source basis.
+It must supply positive allowed mass. The numerical helper does not authenticate
+such a model; the graph must bind real fit/apply artifacts. A reporting-unit
+convention, allocation to individual beneficiaries where necessary, explicit
+income periods, design-weighted training, native-to-clone inheritance and
+held-out checks remain separate required work.
+
+## Verification scope
+
+The 52-case control run executes 50 numerical/literal tests and two complete
+maintained source issuances from invented original CSV/checkpoint fixtures.
+It verifies source-identity joins despite reordered rows, repeat qualification,
+defensive returned data, exact source totals, unknown components and unchanged
+input frames. Source/control files, installed model source and the 12 admitted
+code resources were unchanged before, after and in the external postcheck.
+
+The run completed in 67.6 seconds with 428.9 MB peak RSS. Receipt SHA256:
+`2b9d8e45cec11a6ebda2ccc01c5f12374e794ec0c006ba6525f082fd6454049b`.
+These controls are not native-source execution, a fitted component model,
+PUF55 integration, policy-engine validation or release acceptance.

 The source projection records the distinct survey observation, income and price periods. ASEC sex and state come from the retained original person and household sources, with allocation flags and unknownness preserved. Attaching those demographic projections to the graph is a separate pending integration step. The current financial model conditions on age and two earnings fields; sex/state conditioning and held-out fit quality remain explicit modeling work.
 
-Social Security handling remains a launch blocker. The historical PUF59 donor transports its total through the retirement component with modeled zero carrier columns for the other components. Those zeros do not establish absent recipient benefits. Its reconciliation code can treat unknown recipient components as zero and use equal component shares. The intended successor excludes these four outcomes from PUF enrichment, retains the survey's source-report totals, and conditions the remaining 55 outcomes on an additional Social Security total predictor. That successor is not yet wired into the native build.
+Social Security handling remains a launch blocker. The historical PUF59 donor transports its total through the retirement component with modeled zero carrier columns for the other components. Those zeros do not establish absent recipient benefits. Its reconciliation code can treat unknown recipient components as zero and use equal component shares. The explicit `PUF55_SURVEY_SS` profile now excludes these four outcomes from PUF enrichment and conditions the remaining 55 outcomes on an additional Social Security total predictor. It preserves existing survey component fields, including unknownness. This profile is not yet wired into the native build.
+
+The new profile requires a known, finite, nonnegative `tax_unit.puf_conditioning_social_security_total` supplied by an upstream source owner. It does not infer that total from unknown components or move it between entity grains. All eight historical PUF59 predictors retain their order, with the total appended as predictor nine. The profile has a distinct train/apply phase and retains return-level incidence-capacity validation. Historical full65/PUF59 defaults and their 65/59 outcome contracts remain unchanged.
+
+Eleven new controls pass with real 55-target QRF fits, finalization, raw-draw validation and required cache replay. They check exact Social Security incumbent bit patterns, including signed zero and NaN, and refuse changes to the conditioning total after fitting. The run took 28.5 seconds and peaked at 631.6 MB RSS; receipt SHA256 is `8d5beacf15d8eb7bf568705d4e12bd71d810f3e748571b669a6ec44921ebf0cf`. All 128 historical profile cases also pass against the identical production module. An earlier combined run retained a failure in the new test's comparison of Boolean storage types; the corrected eleven-case run preserves exact values and missingness while treating the requested PUF Boolean output's nullable storage explicitly. Native donor/recipient total qualification, beneficiary completion and whole-population PUF55 attachment remain separate pending checks.
 
 The additive current-source qualifier now verifies original ASEC total, reason and allocation literals against the live survey preparation and retained original member. It also binds the ACS 2024 issuance and SSP price adjustment. Both surveys preserve under-15 question-universe unknownness. ASEC may record combined family payments on one person's report; a reason code is not a separately observed component amount or an assignment to individual beneficiaries. See [Social Security source semantics](survey-social-security-source.md) for the source contract, judgment boundaries and unresolved model work.
 
 The qualifier and numerical basis pass 52 controls: 50 numerical/literal cases and two actual maintained source issuances on invented original inputs. They include reordered source identities, ambiguous reasons, allocation flags, exact requalification, unknownness and no input mutation. The corrected run took 67.6 seconds and peaked at 428.9 MB RSS; the receipt SHA256 is `2b9d8e45cec11a6ebda2ccc01c5f12374e794ec0c006ba6525f082fd6454049b`. An earlier run's two source tests exposed an incorrect capture-budget argument; the corrected caller uses the source owner's existing decoded-body bound while retaining exact CSV byte and digest checks. No native Social Security completion or beneficiary allocation has been accepted.
 
+The combined current source also passes all **225 component integration controls**: 34 shared geography cases, 52 survey Social Security cases, 11 PUF55 cases and all 128 historical full65/PUF59 cases. The exact combined run completed in 205.6 seconds at 687.8 MB peak RSS with no skips or unexpected access refusals. Before/after/current source, model-source and code-resource checks all agree; the maintained checkout matches the tested source map. Receipt SHA256: `63ef0ad0602a66d40f0736490d4c1e29f57723ba938c58d317802b387f947a87`. This remains an invented-input component integration, not a native population certification.
+
 The consolidated source passes a 314-case selected integration and identity suite, including the 128 profile cases, 26 financial/demographic cases, two canonical/growth wrappers, five metadata regressions and 153 identity controls. A subsequent diagnostic-option reconstruction correction passes all 16 current seven-node age-development tests, including late-mutation refusals. All source, model-source and resource pins survived external postchecks for each run. See the [review guide](us-launch-review.md) for exact revisions, receipts and exclusions.
 
 These tests do not certify a national or congressional-district file, native-data fit quality, a country-engine result, or a release. Genuine survey replay and complete calibration/export acceptance remain pending.

 The consolidated source passes a 314-case selected integration and identity suite, including the 128 profile cases, 26 financial/demographic cases, two canonical/growth wrappers, five metadata regressions and 153 identity controls. A subsequent diagnostic-option reconstruction correction passes all 16 current seven-node age-development tests, including late-mutation refusals. All source, model-source and resource pins survived external postchecks for each run. See the [review guide](us-launch-review.md) for exact revisions, receipts and exclusions.
 
-These tests do not certify a national or congressional-district file, native-data fit quality, a country-engine result, or a release. Genuine survey replay and complete calibration/export acceptance remain pending.
+The new canonical59-to-PUF55 donor adapter also passes the maintained invented-source construction and artifact wrapper on 64 and 2,048 returns. It verifies the supplied artifact identity and the exact Social Security carrier convention before projecting the grown total into predictor nine. All 55 retained outputs, source RECIDs and weights survive unchanged. Internally rehashed artifacts with altered carrier semantics refuse. The corrected wrapper passed in 9.4 seconds at 486.9 MB peak RSS; receipt SHA256: `db3e9d8aa91863973de5d3201efcbabe31cbc1067c8c3f7fd72be79d887ffc27`. The initial knownness-column mismatch is preserved as a failed control; the fix supplies the owner's exact nonstructural column roster. This adapter grants no source authority and has not yet processed the native donor.
+
+The genuine seven-node survey age-development run now passes at the unchanged 1/1000 sampling fraction. It prepares 1,584 households and 3,464 people (ACS: 1,529 households/3,324 people; ASEC: 55/140), then retains 3,168 household records and 6,928 person records after the support clone. Export/readback, final source-owner and target checks completed under the frozen `a9895d8a5` source; the final manifest was written only after those checks. All 473 source/control/runtime and 12 code-resource postchecks agree, with no unexpected access refusals. The run took 4,268.8 seconds and peaked at 8.26 GB RSS. Receipt SHA256: `2aa76b5daca7bb0df1ac85d4db23d6b5482073d31d437418d46442ef01b002ca`. This run does not include the subsequent Social Security, PUF55 or atomic-geography integration.
+
+This is accepted native age-development evidence, not a national or congressional-district release, native enrichment fit-quality result or country-engine result. Complete enrichment, geography, calibration and release-export acceptance remain pending.

 The new profile requires a known, finite, nonnegative `tax_unit.puf_conditioning_social_security_total` supplied by an upstream source owner. It does not infer that total from unknown components or move it between entity grains. All eight historical PUF59 predictors retain their order, with the total appended as predictor nine. The profile has a distinct train/apply phase and retains return-level incidence-capacity validation. Historical full65/PUF59 defaults and their 65/59 outcome contracts remain unchanged.
 
-Eleven new controls pass with real 55-target QRF fits, finalization, raw-draw validation and required cache replay. They check exact Social Security incumbent bit patterns, including signed zero and NaN, and refuse changes to the conditioning total after fitting. The run took 28.5 seconds and peaked at 631.6 MB RSS; receipt SHA256 is `8d5beacf15d8eb7bf568705d4e12bd71d810f3e748571b669a6ec44921ebf0cf`. All 128 historical profile cases also pass against the identical production module. An earlier combined run retained a failure in the new test's comparison of Boolean storage types; the corrected eleven-case run preserves exact values and missingness while treating the requested PUF Boolean output's nullable storage explicitly. Native donor/recipient total qualification, beneficiary completion and whole-population PUF55 attachment remain separate pending checks.

 The additive current-source qualifier now verifies original ASEC total, reason and allocation literals against the live survey preparation and retained original member. It also binds the ACS 2024 issuance and SSP price adjustment. Both surveys preserve under-15 question-universe unknownness. ASEC may record combined family payments on one person's report; a reason code is not a separately observed component amount or an assignment to individual beneficiaries. See [Social Security source semantics](survey-social-security-source.md) for the source contract, judgment boundaries and unresolved model work.

 The consolidated source passes a 314-case selected integration and identity suite, including the 128 profile cases, 26 financial/demographic cases, two canonical/growth wrappers, five metadata regressions and 153 identity controls. A subsequent diagnostic-option reconstruction correction passes all 16 current seven-node age-development tests, including late-mutation refusals. All source, model-source and resource pins survived external postchecks for each run. See the [review guide](us-launch-review.md) for exact revisions, receipts and exclusions.

A subsequent separately guarded native projection passes for all 207,692 returns, retaining every target, source RECID, weight and incidence capacity and appending the modeled Social Security total as predictor nine. It took 11.05 seconds at 1.43 GB peak RSS. The original canonical artifact remained unchanged; source/control/model/code checks agree, with no unexpected access refusals. Receipt SHA256: `ce09455947f0efbca16014a23baa19037ac6450876c639568af6584c81bfc45c`. The earlier attempt passed its value assertions but lacked collection accounting and was refused by the guard; that failure is preserved. This native projection ran in memory and produced metadata only. It did not fit a recipient model or attach results to the survey population.
 
 The genuine seven-node survey age-development run now passes at the unchanged 1/1000 sampling fraction. It prepares 1,584 households and 3,464 people (ACS: 1,529 households/3,324 people; ASEC: 55/140), then retains 3,168 household records and 6,928 person records after the support clone. Export/readback, final source-owner and target checks completed under the frozen `a9895d8a5` source; the final manifest was written only after those checks. All 473 source/control/runtime and 12 code-resource postchecks agree, with no unexpected access refusals. The run took 4,268.8 seconds and peaked at 8.26 GB RSS. Receipt SHA256: `2aa76b5daca7bb0df1ac85d4db23d6b5482073d31d437418d46442ef01b002ca`. This run does not include the subsequent Social Security, PUF55 or atomic-geography integration.

 Actual normalized block support and attachment before the survey clone remain
 pending; these tests do not establish native geographic fit.

+`us_runtime/graph_atomic_survey_clone.py` now declares the combined sequence:
+shared import, assignment, derivation and integrity gate, then the existing
+combined-survey support clone and an inherited-mapping gate. The graph compiler
+makes the clone depend on every member of its base version, including the
+pre-clone gate. The post-clone gate never draws another location. An actual
+executor control passes cold execution and required replay: four invented
+households become eight, every location column is inherited, all entity rows
+are copied, and each household weight is split equally across the pair.
+Subset mapping verification also passes. Receipt SHA256:

+column qualification and geography-aware reconstruction in the survey runner

 The genuine seven-node survey age-development run now passes at the unchanged 1/1000 sampling fraction. It prepares 1,584 households and 3,464 people (ACS: 1,529 households/3,324 people; ASEC: 55/140), then retains 3,168 household records and 6,928 person records after the support clone. Export/readback, final source-owner and target checks completed under the frozen `a9895d8a5` source; the final manifest was written only after those checks. All 473 source/control/runtime and 12 code-resource postchecks agree, with no unexpected access refusals. The run took 4,268.8 seconds and peaked at 8.26 GB RSS. Receipt SHA256: `2aa76b5daca7bb0df1ac85d4db23d6b5482073d31d437418d46442ef01b002ca`. This run does not include the subsequent Social Security, PUF55 or atomic-geography integration.
 
 This is accepted native age-development evidence, not a national or congressional-district release, native enrichment fit-quality result or country-engine result. Complete enrichment, geography, calibration and release-export acceptance remain pending.

+and required replay. Every non-owned field, Social Security bit pattern and
+unknown cell, membership, design anchor and household weight remains intact.

+All 482 source/control, 5,983 model-source and 12 code-resource postchecks agree,
+with no skips or unexpected access refusals. Native recipient qualification,
+measurement comparability and actual survey attachment remain pending.

+## Conditioning measurement judgment, 2026-09-09
+
+The recipient measurement for predictor nine remains undecided. Passing the
+numerical `PUF55_SURVEY_SS` mechanism does not establish donor/recipient
+comparability or authenticate a beneficiary total.
+
+[IRS Publication 915 (2015), pages 3 and 5–6](https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/p915--2015.pdf#page=3)
+combines spouses' benefits on a joint return and assigns benefits to the person
+legally entitled to receive them. A child's payment remains the child's even
+when the check names the parent. Form 1040 line 20a reports net benefits after
+repayments, including equivalent tier-1 railroad benefits; Form 1040EZ does not
+report benefits. Thus a sum over all modeled tax-unit members is a different
+measurement from the filer/joint-spouse return amount.
+
+Restricting survey records to the filer and joint-return spouse would still
+produce a **report-sum proxy**, not an observed beneficiary total. The
+[ASEC dictionary, PDF pages 48–49](https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/cps/datasets/2025/march/asec2025_ddl_pub_full.pdf#page=48)
+permits combined family payments and includes reasons for payments on behalf
+of children. The [ACS 2024 questionnaire, question 43, page 18](https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/acs/methodology/questionnaires/2024/quest24.pdf#page=18)
+also permits jointly received income to appear entirely on one person's
+record, with no receipt recorded for the other. Its income category includes
+Social Security or Railroad Retirement. A parent may therefore report child
+payments, or another household member may report an included person's income.
+Multiple tax units within one household make reporter membership insufficient
+to establish benefit ownership; household totals must not be duplicated across
+returns or redistributed without a separate supported model.
+
+If adopted, a measurement such as
+`social_security_filer_joint_spouse_report_sum_proxy` would need an explicit
+upstream contract before supplying `puf_conditioning_social_security_total`.
+That contract would bind actual return roles, source reporting records,
+knownness and income periods; the coarsened PUF filing-class predictor alone
+cannot establish joint-return membership. ASEC calendar-year income, ACS's
+rolling window, transported donor money, repayment treatment and railroad
+coverage remain comparability questions. Component completion is separate.
+
+Excluding a dependent from a parent's return feature does not assign that
+dependent zero benefits. Both surveys' under-15 amounts remain unknown. If an
+included filer has no in-universe report, an empty or missing report set cannot
+silently become a known zero. Family-payment ambiguity also survives an
+age-universe restriction.
+
+The exact 2015 `E02400` definition and publisher editing/omission conventions
+remain unauthenticated by this lookup. The [live IRS PUF page](https://www.irs.gov/statistics/soi-tax-stats-individual-public-use-microdata-files),
+checked on 2026-09-09, says the 2012–2015 files are unavailable. The verified
+Form 1040 rules do not independently establish how every PUF record encodes
+them. This record adopts no proxy, allocates no beneficiaries and grants no
+dataset or release acceptance.

+A separate source-only Codex review found no actionable defects.
+
+The current survey path now qualifies observed state and ACS PUMA from the
+retained original-source preparation. Eleven source controls and fourteen graph
+controls passed, covering missing geography, source changes, replay and stable
+household identity across sampling rungs. These controls use invented originals
+through the actual source issuers. Their receipts are recorded in
+`experiments/us-survey-geography-source-controls-20260909.json` and
+`experiments/us-survey-geography-graph-controls-20260909.json`.
+
+`us_runtime/graph_atomic_survey_population.py` connects that observed projection
+to block assignment, geographic derivation, the integrity gate and the combined
+survey clone. It retains the raw allocation separately from the enriched
+pre-clone population, even though both share the allocation version identifier.
+The complete ten-node prefix passed five controls: fresh execution, required
+replay, full geography inheritance, support-byte mismatch and late mutation
+refusals. The test population contains six survey households before cloning and
+twelve afterward. The exact tested revisions and remaining checks are recorded
+in `experiments/us-atomic-survey-population-controls-20260909.json`.
+
+The calibration budget and age-calibration runner now consume this optional
+prefix and independently reconstruct it from the raw allocation. Eight budget
+controls pass, as does the complete thirteen-node age graph through fresh
+execution and required replay. A separate compatibility control verifies that
+the existing predictor and PUF-host qualifiers still accept the default survey
+prefix. See the corresponding `us-atomic-budget-semantic-8`,
+`us-atomic-age-v2-1`, and `us-budget-predictor-compatibility-1` records in
+`experiments/`.
+
+Replay can canonicalize the hidden backing values of missing numeric cells.
+Persistent budget identities therefore bind logical Frame values, population
+version, complete ownership, weight kinds, mass ledger and exact design-weight
+bytes. They exclude only the helper receipt's physical population stamp.
+Same-object mutation checks retain physical identity. The initial physical-stamp
+replay failure remains recorded; the corrected budget controls pass.
+
+The byte-source adapter passed thirty-six invented-source controls through the
+maintained PL, CD and PUMA parsers. This does not authorize acquisition of native
+PL archives, which also contain housing segments. Native support preparation
+will instead request only Census `P1_001N` block populations and independent
+state totals, then join CD119 and tract-to-PUMA mappings. Delaware is the first
+source control; national survey assignment requires complete admitted support
+for the fifty states and DC. No native acquisition is accepted by these tests.
+
+Publisher-qualified native block support, national and district calibration,
+and pruned export verification remain necessary for a release. Source integrity
+checks and successful invented-data runs do not establish geographic fit.

+`us_runtime/atomic_block_api_sources.py` implements that population-only response
+adapter. All thirty-five invented controls pass, including independent state
+totals, exact block preservation, missing mappings, malformed response fields,
+byte limits and late source-record mutation. Request descriptors preserve the
+repeated Census `in` parameters and omit credentials. The adapter does not infer
+the response's origin from its contents; acquisition and publisher qualification
+remain separate. Evidence:
+`experiments/us-atomic-block-api-sources-35-controls-20260909.json`.
+
 Publisher-qualified native block support, national and district calibration,
 and pruned export verification remain necessary for a release. Source integrity
 checks and successful invented-data runs do not establish geographic fit.

+# PUF55 survey Social Security conditioning decision
+
+On 2026-09-09 the build owner adopted
+`social_security_filer_joint_spouse_report_sum_proxy` for PUF matching. This
+supersedes the pending measurement judgment in
+[survey-social-security-source.md](survey-social-security-source.md). The
+decision authorizes this conditioning measurement and its explicit fallback;
+it does not assert donor/recipient equivalence, allocate beneficiaries, complete
+Social Security components, approve a fit, or admit a release.
+
+For each modeled return, include exactly one `HEAD` and, only when the actual
+`filing_status_input` is `JOINT`, exactly one `SPOUSE`. Sum their available
+nonnegative source report totals. Preserve combined family and child reports
+without splitting, deduplicating, or subtracting amounts. Exclude dependents
+from this return feature without changing any person's observed or unknown
+Social Security cells or component masks.
+
+The public helper requires the actual authenticated survey preparation and
+qualifies current source reports. It uses the exact modeled return roles
+retained by that preparation. It does **not** rerun tax-unit construction using
+current money. That limitation is accepted for this conditioning stage; later
+production integration must qualify the chosen role/current-money relationship
+explicitly. A caller-made role table or decoded receipt grants no authority.
+The PUF disclosure-capped return-size predictor is not a person count, and the
+coarsened PUF filing class 2 cannot identify an actual spouse: surviving-spouse
+returns also map to that class.
+
+## Availability and refusal
+
+An available report-sum means every included reporter has an in-universe,
+finite source amount. It does not mean those reporters legally own all the
+reported benefits. Known zero reports are valid. Unknown components do not
+invalidate a known total. Family/child ambiguity remains an explicit limitation
+and does not itself trigger missingness.
+
+An unavailable included report, including an under-15 filer outside the source
+question universe, leaves the proxy unknown and selects the separately named
+`PUF55_SURVEY_SS_NO_TOTAL` profile. This profile has the same 55 outputs and
+eight predictors. The existing `PUF55_SURVEY_SS` retains nine predictors.
+Neither produces the four Social Security components. There is no partial sum,
+dependent-zero convention, component-sum fallback, silent row deletion, or
+implicit change to the 59/65-output profiles.
+
+Missing/invalid roles, duplicate or orphan membership, conflicting source
+values, nonnumeric amounts, negative/nonfinite observations, and known amounts
+outside the reporting universe refuse. They cannot route to eight predictors:
+the first two PUF predictors still require valid roles. A source qualifier's own
+refusals remain refusals; the fallback does not override them. Graph integration
+must bind both disjoint recipient routes, account for each recipient exactly
+once, authenticate inherited clone membership, and execute the corresponding
+complete fit/apply/attachment chain. This numerical helper does none of that
+graph admission or fitting.
+
+## Measurement limits
+
+[IRS Publication 915 (2015), pages 2–6](https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/p915--2015.pdf#page=2)
+assigns benefits to the legal beneficiary, including a child whose parent
+receives the check; joint filers combine spouses' benefits. The return amount
+uses benefits net of repayments and includes the Social Security equivalent
+part of tier-1 Railroad Retirement, excluding other pension portions. Form
+1040EZ omits benefits, and some recipients need not file. These rules motivate
+the selected return members but do not establish survey report ownership or
+PUF editing conventions. [SSA's representative-payee guidance](https://www.ssa.gov/payee/faqrep.htm)
+likewise distinguishes the person managing a payment from its beneficiary.
+
+The [2025 ASEC dictionary, PDF pages 48–49](https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/cps/datasets/2025/march/asec2025_ddl_pub_full.pdf#page=48)
+permits combined family payments and identifies payments on behalf of children.
+Its source total covers calendar 2024 for a 2025 interview. The
+[ACS 2024 questionnaire, question 43](https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/acs/methodology/questionnaires/2024/quest24.pdf#page=18)
+uses the prior twelve months, permits jointly received income entirely on one
+person's record, and combines Social Security with Railroad Retirement.
+[ACS SSP metadata, PDF page 45](https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/acs/tech_docs/pums/data_dict/PUMS_Data_Dictionary_2024.pdf#page=45)
+defines the age-15 universe, rounded/topcoded amounts and ADJINC price
+adjustment. The helper preserves those distinct observation windows; it does
+not calendarize ACS or estimate repayments/Railroad adjustments.
+
+The ninth donor predictor remains the existing transported 2015 `E02400`
+carrier under its declared 2024 money-growth convention. Carrier zeros do not
+prove absent benefits. Exact 2015 publisher editing/omission rules remain
+unverified; the [IRS PUF page](https://www.irs.gov/statistics/soi-tax-stats-individual-public-use-microdata-files)
+reports the 2012–2015 files unavailable. Matching is therefore conditional on
+this documented proxy assumption, not a newly authenticated observed 2024
+return total. Using eight predictors does not remove donor coverage concerns
+for nonfilers or resolve assumptions in the other donor outcomes.
+
+## Diagnostics required before relying on a fit
+
+Family payments on selected reporters may overstate their own benefits;
+payments reported elsewhere may understate them. An all-member sum includes
+dependent reports and cannot solve this attribution problem. Topcoding,
+allocation, return editing and transported donor money can distort zeros and
+tails. Growth of fixed 2015 amounts does not predict 2024 cohort composition.
+
+Report route counts, known zero/positive distributions and tails by survey,
+actual filing status, age, child-report reasons, allocation provenance, and
+multiple-return household status. Preserve original-household holdouts across
+clones. Compare design-weighted held-out performance and recipient overlap for
+eight versus nine predictors; donor-only validation cannot establish cross-source
+measurement validity. An adult in-universe all-member report sum may be a
+labelled sensitivity diagnostic, with under-15 unknownness retained. It is not
+the default feature. Benefit-component modeling and release checks remain
+separate work.
+
+This change provides source-bound numerical values, explicit route metadata,
+and an isolated graph profile declaration. Actual source guards, route-aware
+graph integration, donor projection for the fallback, fits and diagnostics are
+subsequent verification steps, not results claimed by this decision.

+The subsequent population-only national acquisition and normalization now pass

+"""Opt-in national original-source control; every native pin comes from a guard.
+
+Ordinary CI skips before source path access. The external fixture supplies
+``states: {SS: {blocks: pin, total: pin}}``, ``cd: pin``, ``puma: pin`` and
+``output_dir``. Each pin is exactly ``{path, sha256, size_bytes}``. There are 104
+sources, covering the 50 states plus DC. No native path or population value is
+embedded. The independent population oracle retains only per-state digests;
+the mapping check calls maintained parsers separately from the adapter result.
+This is source normalization, without survey construction or source admission.

+cold/required financial fixture now passes its test, original teardown and all
+final code/resource checks: 303.90 CPU seconds, 308.26 wall seconds and 594.3 MB

+298.15-second profiled fixture. Its nested function checker runs 2,009,108 times
+and uses 91.05 self seconds; complete Frame identity uses 7.31 cumulative seconds.
+Cumulative timings overlap and profiling adds overhead. The next change targets
+repeated comparisons of immutable code objects within a single verification,
+while preserving fresh source reads, aliases, globals, closure checks and final
+mutation seals. That optimization, the remaining successor controls and the
+native financial pilot have not yet passed.
+
+Current CI separately reports stale source-attested spec/seed fingerprints and
+an imported-resource identity expectation. These failures remain open; neither
+the component passes nor this profile establishes a green consolidation.

 Loaded ACS code verification accounts for 180.20 cumulative seconds inside the
 298.15-second profiled fixture. Its nested function checker runs 2,009,108 times
 and uses 91.05 self seconds; complete Frame identity uses 7.31 cumulative seconds.
-Cumulative timings overlap and profiling adds overhead. The next change targets
-repeated comparisons of immutable code objects within a single verification,

-mutation seals. That optimization, the remaining successor controls and the
-native financial pilot have not yet passed.

+Cumulative timings overlap and profiling adds overhead. The invocation-local
+code comparison memo now passes all 18 focused invented controls, including
+changed source, aliases, globals, closures, mutable constants and the historical
+catalogue caller. Source and resource checks pass before, after and in the
+external postcheck. See the [control evidence](../experiments/us-acs-loaded-code-controls-20260910.json).
+The paired full-fixture run also passed correctness and final checks, but took
+319.79 wall seconds versus 308.26 for the baseline. The memo added eligibility
+work and demonstrated no speed improvement, so its implementation was not
+adopted. The exact experimental patch and [paired comparison](../experiments/us-acs-code-memo-comparison-20260910.json)

+## Adopted: reuse source compilation
+
+The ACS native coverage owner now keeps a bounded process-local cache of compiled code. Its key includes exact source bytes, filename, mode, flags, inheritance setting, effective optimization level and compiler identity. Every source read, AST check and loaded-function, global, alias and closure check remains fresh. Cached code is neither source authority nor a portable receipt.
+
+The change passes 25 focused controls and the original invented financial fixture, including cold execution, required replay and final checks. One paired profile took 216.82 wall seconds versus 308.26 seconds before the change, a 29.66% reduction. CPU time fell from 303.90 to 214.69 seconds. These instrumented observations establish an improvement for that fixture; they do not establish native-data performance. See [the experiment](../experiments/us-acs-compilation-cache-adoption-20260910.json) for exact source, test and verification identities.
+
+The native pilot already in progress retains its original frozen source snapshot.
+
+## Next: remove duplicate work within a check
+
+A source review confirmed nine direct Frame storage traversals in a healthy `verify_acs_native_coverage` call: three calls to `_verify_frame`, each performing three storage hashes. Some repetitions occur across supplemental axis and resolved-weight checks, so collapsing all nine into three is not automatically equivalent under the existing mutation checks.
+
+The next candidate will share the first storage calculation with the supplemental fingerprint calculation, while preserving the independent final prepared-Frame storage pass and all three outer verification points. That would reduce nine direct traversals to six. It needs a regression that mutates a cell during the supplemental check, unchanged receipt and fingerprint comparisons, and a paired measurement before adoption.
+
+## Keep separate: code, files and retained objects
+
+Three different facts currently appear together in nested validation:
+
+- Loaded-code identity: the interpreter's functions, code, globals, aliases and closures.
+- Agreement with files: source bytes, archive snapshots and stored graph artifacts still match their recorded identities.
+- Retained-object identity: the actual Frame, Population, weights and ancestry still match their issued state.
+
+An independent Fable 5.1 review recommended making these checks explicit and performing expensive file verification primarily at public entry and emission boundaries. That is a proposed contract change, not an adopted optimization. Moving file checks would change when an altered archive is detected. It requires a documented public-entry contract and tests at every relevant callback, file borrow and emission boundary before implementation.
+
+Similarly, an AST cache would hold mutable objects, unlike compiled code. It needs its own ownership design and evidence; the compilation-cache result does not establish its safety or benefit.
+
+## Composition review
+
+The same review raised kernel-registry sharing, registration order and recipient ordering. These require owner-level checks before being treated as bugs. For example, each financial run currently constructs a fresh survey prefix internally; it does not accept an existing prefix for a second extension. The PUF raw-route merger separately derives and verifies the complete receiving tax-unit axis before restoring row order. Neither observation alone proves every composition boundary correct.
+
+The immediate implementation priorities remain the budget returned-view correction, actual public PUF recipient and graph checks, authenticated donor/model binding, one whole-cohort PUF finalization and attachment, then native calibration and release verification. Performance work proceeds alongside those tasks.
+
+## Review scope
+
+Fable 5.1 completed a read-only source review on September 10, 2026, using the saved Hivesight login. Its requested scratch-cache read was denied and that limitation was disclosed in its result. It supplied architectural advice, not runtime approval or a release verdict. The recommendations above are distinguished from independently verified source findings and adopted changes.

Performance work proceeds alongside those tasks.
+The budget returned-view correction is now adopted. Detached documents and grouped bounds are constructed after the last borrowed I/O, then checked against the issued payload and retained owners. Four targeted controls passed, including nine callback branches; the post-run verification rechecked 501 source/owned files, 5,983 model-code files and 12 resources. The earlier eight financial-successor controls remain evidence for their original source revision. These are separate component runs, not twelve tests of one integrated revision. See [the correction experiment](../experiments/us-budget-detached-view-correction-20260910.json).
+
+A second Fable source review found no confirmed correctness or ownership bug in the public PUF recipient interface. It recommended explicit cold-cache reuse assertions, exact comparisons with the original issuers, and clearer documentation of the original-source reads required by the recipient kernels. The frozen two-positive pilot remains unchanged; those additions belong to subsequent controls.

+now passes at 1/1000: 1,584 source households and 3,464 people become 3,168
+household records and 6,928 person records after cloning. The run assigns one
+block before cloning, retains location inheritance and attaches seven financial

+postcheck pass. This is the original frozen 491-source implementation; newer

+Planning snapshot, 10 September 2026. This is a release work plan, not a
+certification of either country. Component tests, historical candidates and
+current-candidate acceptance are distinct evidence.
+
+## Products and common construction
+
+The US product must support national and congressional-district analysis. The
+UK product must support national, constituency and local-authority analysis.
+Each country should have one fully constructed population from which full and
+smaller analysis files are derived. Record the survey, monetary, policy and
+boundary reference periods explicitly; do not infer them from a filename.
+
+After harmonization, assign one atomic area to each household and derive larger
+geographies from versioned mappings. Geographic support expansion, when needed,
+precedes assignment and has explicit identities and weights. Subsequent
+enrichment clones inherit the assigned location. Once enrichment is complete,
+calibration changes household weights; scope selection and pruning retain the
+original values, missingness and relationships for every retained household.
+
+For a shared set of weights and consistent measurement definitions, additive
+local totals must reconcile to national totals. Separately refitted compact
+views need declared approximation tolerances and their own diagnostics. A
+common source population alone does not guarantee identical estimates.

+
+## Current position
+
+The US new graph has passed a small real survey → block assignment → clone →
+financial-enrichment build and required replay. The combined survey population
+has 1,584 source households and 3,168 records after cloning. This is not the
+complete enriched, calibrated national/CD file. The next critical sequence is
+complete PUF/remaining input integration, a small real full build, model and
+calibration evaluation, then progressive scale and release verification. See
+[the US review guide](us-launch-review.md) for scoped acceptance records.
+
+UK work already includes raw-source enrichment, national/local calibration,
+size experiments and release assembly. Its recorded P50/P95b 55,000-household
+candidates fail area-support and target-fit checks; the skipped holdout does
+not establish an incumbent-comparison pass. Historical dense assembly also
+does not satisfy today's release battery. See
+[the size evidence](../experiments/355-uk-dataset-size-receipts.md) and
+[the current dense release runbook](uk-dense-release-assembly-runbook-762.md).
+
+The current UK route clones for geographic support and then uses the existing
+OA ladder. It has not adopted the new shared, household-keyed atomic geography
+graph immediately after harmonization. Maria's
+[PR #900](https://github.com/PolicyEngine/microcosm/pull/900) updates Chronicle
+household targets and the Northern Ireland lookup; that source work does not
+by itself migrate the assignment owner. Anthony's
+[PR #896](https://github.com/PolicyEngine/microcosm/pull/896) provides staging
+telemetry and synthetic smoke evidence, not a calibrated release.
+
+UK release coverage must be re-established on the chosen integrated build and
+locked model. The declared 145-input contract's older candidate evidence must
+not certify the current stage set. The
+[migration epic](https://github.com/PolicyEngine/microcosm/issues/665) tracks
+source and calibration work;
+[exact-count release parity](https://github.com/PolicyEngine/microcosm/issues/898)
+and [default promotion](https://github.com/PolicyEngine/microcosm/issues/823)
+remain separate consumer-release requirements. Existing open issues are leads
+for candidate-specific verification, not proof every historical defect remains.
+
+## Team meeting decisions
+
+1. Confirm the release years, advertised geographies and full/compact products.
+2. Assign one accountable owner to each country candidate and one owner to each
+   shared dependency: runtime, calibration, diagnostics and release consumers.
+3. Review every row above for the latest actual candidate. Name the missing
+   artifact and next measurable result, rather than reporting code completion
+   as population acceptance.
+4. Agree calibration, holdout, incumbent and representative-reform criteria,
+   including which differences need explanation and which block release.
+5. Set dates for the next complete small candidate, the full quality review and
+   the production-sized candidate using measured runs rather than linear timing
+   extrapolation.
+
+Country data work, target/source reconciliation, independent validation, and
+dashboard/consumer integration can run in parallel. Each final dashboard and
+release verdict must refer to the same candidate bytes. Cross-sectional release
+does not require retirement dynamics, every possible forecast year, or a
+complete Chronicle/Orrery redesign. Keep those workstreams active without
+making them prerequisites for the first accepted cross-section.

 ## Team meeting decisions
 
+This document is the shared US/UK release-path reference. The country review
+guides and run receipts provide supporting detail; update the sequence and
+ownership here when they change.
+
+The 10 September coordination sequence is:
+
+- Maria's #900 source/target reconciliation goes first; Anthony's #855 target
+  hierarchy/diagnostics and corresponding dashboard consumer follow it.
+- Maria owns registering every existing UK stage as a graph node, stacking on
+  #893. Changes to UK stage order follow in a separate PR. The shared atomic-area
+  adapter work supports that integration and does not create a second UK graph.
+- Anthony's UK staging #896 can proceed independently. His earlier runtime
+  proposal #885 is superseded in intent, not another required implementation.
+- US construction and verification continue alongside these changes. Complete
+  graph coverage in both countries is required for the broader advertised
+  launch; passing tests for individual stages does not establish that coverage.
+
+The latest UK full rebuild and evaluation were reported as underway at the
+meeting. Its new report must replace historical quality evidence only after the
+actual candidate and results are available; the approximate four-hour runtime
+reported for that build is not a US or release ETA.
+
 1. Confirm the release years, advertised geographies and full/compact products.
 2. Assign one accountable owner to each country candidate and one owner to each
    shared dependency: runtime, calibration, diagnostics and release consumers.

+The shared UK adapter now has accepted supplied-array tests for England/Wales

 locked model. The declared 145-input contract's older candidate evidence must
 not certify the current stage set. The

+# US population input-coverage diagnostic
+
+[`diagnose_us_input_coverage`](../packages/microcosm-build/src/microcosm/build/us_runtime/population_input_coverage.py) takes a `Population`, its `CompiledGraph` and attached `RunManifest`, and returns a typed `PopulationInputCoverage` report. Its default `USInputProfile.NATIONAL_CD` describes 161 national/congressional-district input names; [`required_us_inputs()`](../packages/microcosm-build/src/microcosm/build/us_runtime/input_coverage_profile.py) keeps the historical 163-name default. The national/CD profile omits only engine `block_geoid` and `tract_geoid`, while separately reporting assigned `census_block_geoid`; neither profile adds `employment_income_last_year`. The diagnostic checks complete declared current ownership and replayed storage, then reports actual entity grains, source-channel/clone groups, null and invalid values, typed weights, and masked-writer versus carried rows. Missing grain and applicability remain unresolved. It verifies consistency of supplied graph objects; source ancestry and source requalification remain the host's responsibility. [Twenty-five frozen controls](../experiments/us-input-coverage25-20260910.json) passed, including actual cold/required replay and late-mutation refusals, with 515 physical source/owned checks and zero model/resource inputs. This is scoped evidence, not maintained-CI validation: four eager calibration imports differ from the frozen run and retain their newer maintained versions. The report establishes neither complete input coverage, statistical signal, applicability, native build acceptance nor release eligibility.

+"""Describe required inputs on one actual graph Population and attached manifest.
+
+This is a diagnostic, never an issuer, source qualifier, applicability model,
+release gate or claim of non-default statistical signal. Call inside an actual
+host's checked lifetime after its source/producer checks. Population and manifest
+constructors are public: even coherent supplied objects cannot prove original
+source ancestry. There is deliberately no supplied expected hash/list shortcut.
+
+The roster is a versioned coverage contract, not a claim that every name is
+scientifically independent or consumed by every engine route. The current
+source manifest does not declare grain or applicability. Present
+columns report their actual grains; missing names retain unresolved grain.
+Every row's applicability remains unresolved, including declared ABSENT cells.
+Column ownership identifies the last writer, not the measurement source of all
+rows: writer-mask counts and carried counts stay separate. Source names and
+typed artifact ancestry below describe declarations/receipts, not fresh reads.
+
+Only the current group-linked survey schema is supported. Experimental link
+tables refuse, rather than being dropped by the maintained replay comparator.
+The single possible borrowed I/O is the attached manifest population lookup.
+All detached output is built afterward, with final pure input seals.

Subject: [PATCH 072/255] Add the ASEC v3-to-v4 exact-source restoration helper
 and its checkpoint tests

The restoration rebuilds the Frame with the input's mass log and metadata so a
v4 checkpoint keeps its weight history (regression parametrized over an empty
log, a declared mass change, and metadata forwarding). The two ASEC source test
modules that test_us_asec_coverage_authentication imports were never committed;
CI failed on their absence. The helper is classified as bounded I/O with no
population treatment in the runtime inventory.

Subject: [PATCH 073/255] Repair two stale test expectations after the
 post-clone geography change

The strict-leaf audit stub now mirrors PolicyEngineUSVariableMetadataIndex's
keyword-only surface (include_consumers), and the PUF55 recipient graph is
19 run nodes plus the projection and matrix nodes since geography moved after
the initial clone.

Subject: [PATCH 074/255] Install the engine-free US extra into the wheels gate
 after the boundary check

The US source runtimes require microunit (microcosm-frame's us extra); an
installed constellation without it fails closed instead of skipping, which is
a false packaging verdict. The extra is requested against the built wheel so
the gate proves the wheel carries resolvable extra metadata; policyengine-us
stays absent.

Subject: [PATCH 076/255] Classify the launch integration's runtime modules in
 the spine-blindness inventory

The consolidation added 113 graph-native source, catalogue, composition,
clone, geography, predictor, PUF and calibration modules that the reviewed
inventory did not list, so the classification tests failed closed. Each is
recorded from its module docstring (reviewed 2026-09-11) in a separate set;
none is a migrated population-treatment registry operator, and the inventory
does not exempt any of them from the source-spine scan. The pool build tool's
import graph is re-pinned from 70 to 73 modules: it now also reaches
_person_signal_summary, operator_column_contracts and reported_coverage_source,
which join the required set so a silent drop fails.

Subject: [PATCH 077/255] Re-pin the seed protocol and compiled seed map
 digests for the launch integration
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Three attested kernel modules changed on this branch — acs_transfer (its
derived-transfer column contract moved to operator_column_contracts),
housing_inputs (ACS rent donor/recipient preparation and finalization) and
microcosm.fit.qrf (predict_from_uniforms draw path) — so the seed protocol's
content digest and the compiled seed stream map digest legitimately moved.
Main is fully merged (6f7571e1); spec_engine and the US spec are unchanged.
The committed F0 coverage report is regenerated from the re-pinned inventory
and tools/spec_engine_coverage.py --check passes.

Subject: [PATCH 078/255] Review the launch integration's source-spine accesses
 in the blindness guard

The composed two-survey population is source-qualified by charter: ACS and
ASEC rows are composed, cloned and bound to their original records, and the
PUF55 routes condition on source-owned Social Security totals (known for
ASEC reporters, unknown otherwise). Seventeen launch modules that read the
support-channel and spine-source-id columns to select or validate origin rows
join the reviewed provenance owners with their reason; none routes a
PUF-detail imputation by spine.

Twenty-one further modules trip only the scanner's fail-closed dynamic
selector class. Every site was read: they index tuples and state records,
node/kernel maps keyed by node id, byte payloads in codecs, PUF donor tables
by profile-declared names, or numpy masks -- never a provenance column. A
separate reviewed set accepts that class for exactly those modules while
accessor calls and contraband source columns keep failing, with a regression
that proves the acceptance never hides either.

Subject: [PATCH 079/255] Let the seed-identity diagnostic import the engine
 under its boundary

The derive phase imports policyengine-us, which reads eight public parameter
CSVs at module import; the boundary refused them as data files, and the
shared engine lane's diagnostic failed on every run of this branch. The
eight files are now pinned by relative path, size and RECORD sha256
(verified against 1.819.0), hashed once before the hook is armed, and only
their resolved paths may be opened; any other data-suffixed open, a pin
whose bytes or RECORD differ, or a pinned path outside the distribution
still refuses. The report records the policy and pins.

Two import-time side effects of the same chain are recognised narrowly:
psutil reads /proc/stat for its CPU-times layout (metadata, like
/proc/cpuinfo), and urllib3 probes IPv6 by creating one socket and binding
it to loopback from _has_ipv6 -- only socket.__new__ and a loopback bind
issued from that function are accepted; connect, resolve, send and every
other socket event keep the NETWORK_OR_CHILD refusal.

Subject: [PATCH 080/255] Complete the seed-identity diagnostic's kernel-module
 roster

The pinned roster omitted microcosm.calibrate.gates and
microcosm.calibrate.initialization, which the seed protocol's direct-kernel
attestation has listed since before this branch (spec_engine/seeds.py is
unchanged against main), so the derive phase refused SEED_MODULE_ROSTER on
every run once the boundary let the engine import through. Both modules and
their source files join the roster and the stamped source paths; the loaded
US bundle's 44-module roster now matches the pin.

Subject: [PATCH 081/255] Re-pin the AM/BE/UK bundle digests and the loader's
 golden semantic hash

The seed protocol's content digest moved on this branch (three attested
kernel modules changed: acs_transfer, housing_inputs, fit.qrf) and every
country bundle's spec_sha256 and the loader's golden semantic-hash vector
embed it, so these four pins move with the seed re-pin already recorded.
Main is fully merged; spec_engine and the country specs are unchanged. The
shared-spec CI group's remaining local failures (release-target parity
regeneration) need the 131 MB local facts feed that CI does not have and
are recorded separately.

Subject: [PATCH 082/255] Reuse the ASEC catalogue records identity over
 unchanged immutable leaves

Every checked borrow of the ASEC source catalogue re-encoded and re-hashed
all household and unrepresented records twice, and the survey population
preparation's nested seal did it a third time (~2 s per pass on the real
catalogue; the native pilot spent ~20% of its CPU there). The catalogue now
binds a leaf snapshot to the identity in the same streaming pass at
issuance, and later borrows reuse that identity only when the issued root
tuples are the same objects, the memo identity equals the owner's retained
one, and every projected leaf (literals, keys, person rosters, members'
fields) is the very object seen while streaming. Frozen dataclasses stay
writable through object.__setattr__, so the leaves carry the proof; any
subclass leaf, replaced container, or foreign type keeps the full canonical
encoding and its refusals.

Inventory scope review for asec_population_catalogue.py: no new imports or
resource accesses; the only new unbound uses are the survey_population_domains
references inside _eligible_key and _eligible_leaves (exact record/key/source
type checks), so the module's unbound_uses digest is re-pinned.

Subject: [PATCH 083/255] Carry a calibration hierarchy on every national
 demographic count target
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Main's diagnostics schema 8 (#855) requires a complete hierarchy for every
registry-backed target, so the `national.demographic_calibration` node
failed on the merge ref: its S0101 registry carried none. Each activated
cell now declares the only hierarchy it may have — provider `census_acs`,
category `census_acs.population_by_age` (S0101) or
`census_acs.population_by_sex_and_age` (B01001), both labels added to the
reviewed US variable-label catalog, the activation's own national publisher
row (0100000US, "United States", level country), one `publisher_cell`
dimension whose value is the cell and whose label is the published one the
band binds, and the cell itself as the target so its id equals the spec
name. Both S0101 spec builders attach it; the registry declaration round-
trips it; the registry validator refuses a spec without exactly the
hierarchy rebuilt from its table, name, label and geography; the survey
diagnostics verifier's defensive pin moves from schema 6 to 8.

Controls: the invented seven-node graph's diagnostics are schema 8 with a
hierarchy on every row; the registry JSON round-trips every hierarchy;
missing, foreign-cell, foreign-geography and foreign-category hierarchies
are refused; the label catalog pin lists the two new rows.

Subject: [PATCH 084/255] Inject the late manifest mutation through the stage
 alias, not the sealed module

`survey_origin_budget` seals its own functions in its producer check, so a
monkeypatch of `verify_survey_weight_only_successor` on that module made
`freeze_survey_origin_budget` refuse with PRODUCER_CHANGED before the
seven-node graph ever ran, and the three terminal-manifest mutation
controls could never reach the MANIFEST_NODE_STATE refusal they exist to
prove. The seam is now a delegating stand-in for the stage's `budgets`
alias, so the sealed module is untouched and the mutation lands exactly
where it did before: after successor verification, before the final
manifest-state check.

Subject: [PATCH 085/255] Project record classes and the source member's value
 into the memo leaves

An independent read of c2c6b37df found two in-process changes that alter
the canonical encoding without touching a projected leaf: reassigning the
`Source.ASEC` member's `_value_` (the encoder writes `source.value`, the
memo pinned only member identity), and reassigning `__class__` on a record,
key or person to a layout-compatible subclass (the encoder refuses anything
but the exact types on every full pass). Both now miss: each key projects
`type(key)`, the member and its value object; each household, person and
ledger row projects its class and the persons container's class. Two
regressions exercise both vectors and the full path's refusal.

Subject: [PATCH 086/255] Re-pin the merged UK bundle and the pool tool's
 country-spec digest; mark the stamp as in-process

Two attested identities moved with the merge ref, both re-pinned to the
values the merged tree computes: the UK country bundle (main's #903 added
the frs_relationships spine stage on top of this branch's attested kernel
changes, so neither side's pin survives the merge), and the multispine
pool tool's constants-adapter country_spec digest, which had already moved
to the branch's attested value recorded in docs/evidence/spec-engine/
us-f0-coverage.json when the seed identities were re-pinned but was still
asserted at main's value in test_us_multispine_pool_tool.py.

survey_atomic_geography._population_stamp now says it is an in-process
seal that must never be persisted or compared across reconstructions
(microcosm#907 / #909), naming what a cross-call pin has to carry instead.

Subject: [PATCH 088/255] Restore the engine resolver by monkeypatch instead of
 reloading puf_support

The no-engine fallback control reloaded puf_support in its finally block.
A reload rebinds every function in the module to a new object, and the
survey-origin budget seals puf_support's live functions in its producer
check, so every freeze after that test in the same process refused with
PRODUCER_CHANGED: 42 refusals across the fast and wheels lanes, found by a
per-test seal probe. Restoring the original attribute keeps the module's
objects identical and exercises the same fallback.

+# #893 reconciliation to main's amended graph interface (amendments 19 and 20)
+
+Lane: `microcosm-us-launch-verified-lanes-20260910` (the live integration
+worktree for PR #893, branch `microcosm-us-launch-integration-20260909`).
+Started 2026-09-12 at `069d5ed9a`. Everything below the `---` rule at the end
+of this section is prior-lane history; see "Root journals are history, not
+state" in `CLAUDE.md`.
+
+## State
+
+In progress. Baseline before any change: `packages/microcosm-graph/tests`
+5 failed / 362 passed (exit 1) — exactly the five the brief names.
+
+## Done
+
+- Read `CLAUDE.md`, the charter's "Interface freeze" at the amendment-20 head
+  (`23ba24770`), PR #893's body, and the Amendment 19 lane's "Scope" list on
+  main. Diffed the graph package against `23ba24770` file by file and located
+  every consumer of each not-yet-amended piece outside the graph package.
+- `uv sync --all-packages --locked --extra us --extra uk` exit 0.
+
+## Next
+
+- `git merge origin/main`, then `git merge origin/amend-keyed-seed-and-uniform-draws`
+  (`23ba24770`), resolving every graph/fit/charter file to main's bytes.
+- Re-apply, as separate named commits, only the not-yet-amended pieces the US
+  runtime on this branch consumes; drop the rest and say so in `out.md`.
+- Run the graph and fit packages, the spine-blindness file, the spec-engine
+  check, `ci_test_groups --verify`, ruff, then the touched US suites.
+- Write the layer map and the draft amendment entries to `out.md`.

Subject: [PATCH 090/255] Re-pin the seed protocol and compiled seed map
 digests on the merged tree
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Both digests hash the exact source bytes of the attested kernel modules
(spec_engine/seeds.py). The merged tree carries the branch's acs_transfer
and housing_inputs changes and, through amendment 20, the same fit.qrf
bytes the branch already carried, so the actual digests are the values the
branch pinned in 1734b9e90 — not the amendment-20 head's, which were computed
on a tree without the two US kernel changes. The F0 coverage report is
regenerated from the re-pinned inventory; tools/spec_engine_coverage.py
--check exits 0.

Subject: [PATCH 091/255] Re-pin the calibrate and simulate H1 parity cases the
 branch's kernels move

On the merged tree six graph tests were red (test_acceptance_h_parity,
test_graph_parity_pins x4, test_graph_serialize), all on the calibrate and
simulate cases' stale pins. Both moves are the branch's own, not the
merge's: CalibrateKernel.implementation_hash binds microcosm.calibrate's
solve and diagnostics modules, which the branch's grouped-bound solver path
changes (layer 05), and SimulateRulesKernel.implementation_hash binds
microcosm.frame.bundle, to which the branch adds Frame.__reduce__ (layer 01).
Re-recorded with tools/graph_parity_repin.py calibrate / simulate, which
keeps every pinned platform (both cases pin only arm64/darwin/py3.14) and
leaves direct.csv untouched. The four parity test files: 27 passed, exit 0.

Subject: [PATCH 092/255] Re-apply the raw-byte source codec on main's graph
 package

The not-yet-amended codecs piece from the integration branch, re-applied on
main's codecs.py byte-for-byte: SourceCodecRegistry gains an explicit
raw-byte mode (register_bytes / load_bytes / bytes_names / as_bytes_mapping)
that a name may hold in place of Frame mode but never both, the shipped
raw-bytes-v1 codec reads one bounded regular file and interprets nothing,
and load_source_bytes / SourceBytesCodec / RAW_BYTES_MAX_BYTES are exported.
The executor's availability check (SOURCE_CODECS.get) already resolves both
modes, so no executor change rides with it.

Consumers on this branch outside the graph package: graph_atomic_geography,
graph_geography, graph_sources, graph_atomic_survey_population,
graph_puf55_canonical_donor, puf_raw_source, puf_monetary_source,
puf_monetary_agi_projection, puf_full_source_graph, atomic_block_sources,
atomic_block_api_sources, survey_atomic_geography, puf55_survey_recipients.

The branch carried no graph-level tests for it; four are added here (the
shipped codec's contract, the regular-file refusals incl. a FIFO opened
non-blocking, mode exclusivity and name reservation, and a graph whose
CREATE source is raw bytes). test_graph_codecs.py: 8 passed, exit 0.

Subject: [PATCH 093/255] Re-apply complete Frame metadata storage and
 non-finite JSON refusal in the store

The not-yet-amended store piece from the integration branch, re-applied on
main's store.py: the frame object format moves to microcosm-graph-frame-v2,
Frame.metadata is encoded losslessly (mapping/tuple/frozenset/float64 bytes/
scalar tags) into the frame manifest and restored on load, its SHA-256 is
recorded in the object header and checked on read, ContentStore._put takes a
validate_existing hook so a same-key frame whose metadata differs is
StoreCorrupt and a v1 frame is StoreUnavailable rather than silently losing
its metadata, and the JSON decode boundary refuses NaN/Infinity constants and
overflowing numerals so a corrupt manifest is StoreCorrupt, not a TypeError
from the canonical re-encoder. The one hunk of the branch's store diff that
is NOT re-applied is the removal of main's #907 datetime64/timedelta64
object-leaf refusal: that removal was the branch being older than main, not
a piece of this change.

Consumers on this branch outside the graph package: survey_population_replay
(same_replayed_frame compares encoded metadata), population_input_coverage
and graph_full_puf_enrichment (record encoded metadata), and every US stage
that expects Frame.metadata to survive a store round trip. Its test file
test_frame_metadata_store.py comes back with it. test_frame_metadata_store,
test_graph_store, test_graph_population, test_graph_executor,
test_graph_manifest: 274 passed, exit 0.

Subject: [PATCH 094/255] Re-apply executor execution states: gate exceptions
 leave their consumers unreached

The not-yet-amended availability piece from the integration branch,
re-applied on main's executor.py and manifest.py (both otherwise byte-for-byte
main's, amendment 19's payload-free edge authentication and its
StoreCorrupt-on-hit miss decision included). availability.py defines the
executor-owned execution state ("microcosm.graph.execution.v1"): a gate that
declares typed artifact outputs and raises still becomes a `fail` verdict and
the run continues (amendment 7), but its receipt now records
`gate_exception` with the outputs it could not produce; a node whose
predecessor is unreached, or whose declared byte input its producer recorded
as unavailable, is recorded `unreached` with its blockers named by node key,
runs no kernel and invents no columns, frame, weights or bytes; a release
behind such an edge stays evidence-tier. Cache records carrying a state use
schema 3, a cached unreached record is a hit only while the same inputs are
unavailable for the same reason and is StoreCorrupt otherwise, `require`
preflight derives blockers from the cached parents, a kernel that authors the
executor's state is rejected, and a run manifest carrying any state
serializes at schema 4 and authenticates every blocker on load.

This replaces amendment 19's interim refusal of a gate that declares a typed
output (the Amendment 19 lane's one ruling made on Max's behalf); main's
test pinning that refusal is replaced by five tests of the regime that
supersedes it. Consumers on this branch: graph_atomic_survey_clone declares
the geography gate's validation artifact (emit_validation_artifact=True) and
survey_age_calibration, graph_current_survey_predictors and
survey_origin_budget consume it; population_input_coverage checks
execution_state on every producer receipt. The frozen files are untouched.
packages/microcosm-graph/tests: 518 passed, exit 0; ruff check and format
clean.

Subject: [PATCH 095/255] Re-apply the private population observer on run_graph

The last of the four not-yet-amended graph pieces the US runtime on this
branch consumes: `run_graph(_population_observer=...)` hands each node's
admitted population (design anchors included) to an integrating verifier,
cold and on cache hits alike, before the node is persisted. It is not a
kernel capability, enters no key or receipt, and an exception it raises
refuses the run; an unreached node has no population to observe. Consumers:
survey_age_calibration, graph_atomic_survey_financial,
graph_survey_population and graph_atomic_survey_population, plus eight
US test files. The branch carried it inside the lazy-retention change and
had no graph-level test; one is added here. test_graph_executor,
test_acceptance_b_ownership, test_acceptance_f_gates green, exit 0.

 ## State
 
-In progress. Baseline before any change: `packages/microcosm-graph/tests`
-5 failed / 362 passed (exit 1) — exactly the five the brief names.
+Merges done, four graph pieces re-applied, graph package green (518 passed),
+fit green (191), spec check / groups verify / ruff clean. Build-side consumer
+suites running at the time of this entry; final results in `out.md` §5 and

+pushed, no PR, no new branch, `uv.lock` untouched.
 
 ## Done
 
-- Read `CLAUDE.md`, the charter's "Interface freeze" at the amendment-20 head
-  (`23ba24770`), PR #893's body, and the Amendment 19 lane's "Scope" list on
-  main. Diffed the graph package against `23ba24770` file by file and located
-  every consumer of each not-yet-amended piece outside the graph package.
-- `uv sync --all-packages --locked --extra us --extra uk` exit 0.
+- Read `CLAUDE.md`, the charter's "Interface freeze" at `23ba24770`, PR
+  #893's body, the Amendment 19 lane's "Scope" list; diffed the graph package
+  against `23ba24770` per file; AST-scanned every non-graph consumer.

+  graph suite: 5 failed / 362 passed (the five the brief names).
+- `3010b7788` merge `origin/main`: graph package, fit sources, lock and
+  charter resolved to main's bytes; branch-only `attachments.py`,
+  `availability.py`, `schema.py` and the two branch-only graph tests removed
+  in the merge, to return only where consumed.
+- `051357909` merge `23ba24770` (amendment 20, merged from the branch head
+  because #912 was still on CI; the dispatcher re-runs `git merge origin/main`
+  after it lands — expected no-op for graph/fit/lock/charter).
+- `dc621c14c` seed digests re-pinned (the branch's `acs_transfer` and
+  `housing_inputs` plus amendment 20's `fit.qrf` move them); coverage report
+  regenerated; `--check` exit 0.
+- `cff8fbf32` calibrate/simulate H1 pins re-recorded (the branch's solver and
+  `Frame.__reduce__` changes move them); parity files 27 passed.
+- Pieces re-applied on main's files, each with graph-level tests the branch
+  never had: `752ab840f` raw-byte codec (13 US consumers; 8 codec tests),
+  `db1b7821a` Frame-metadata store (3 named consumers; 274 passed across the
+  store/population/executor/manifest files), `d1019762b` execution states
+  (the post-clone geography gate's typed artifact; replaces the amendment-19
+  gate refusal and its test; whole graph package 518 passed), `a16eeacf8`
+  population observer (4 consumers; 94 passed on the executor + B/F files).
+- Dropped for lack of a consumer: lazy retention (`attachments.py`, layer
+  08), `schema.py`, `keys._stream_file`, the `_write_node` refactor.
+- Layer map computed from `git log --name-only` attribution plus an AST

Subject: [PATCH 097/255] Pin that unreached propagates through a structural
 node and its version

A FILTER whose input column comes from an unreached node is unreached with
the filter's blocker named, the version it would have opened carries no
population, a node placed on that version is blocked by the filter (its
version is a compiled predecessor), a node beside the edge still runs, the
manifest round-trips, and resume='require' replays every record as a hit.
Piece C's earlier tests covered only non-structural consumers.

Subject: [PATCH 098/255] Re-pin the US implementation inventory for the
 reconciled graph package
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

graph_implementation_inventory.json is the reviewed dependency fence every
US source stage checks before it runs. Three of its entries no longer held:

- the microcosm.graph package roster listed attachments.py and schema.py,
  both dropped by the reconciliation (no consumer), so every stage that
  binds microcosm.graph refused with "Python inventory differs" and the
  refusal surfaced as PREPARATION_ISSUANCE_REFUSED in 23 survey tests;
- the contracts for executor.py and manifest.py named the attachments
  import, keys.py's resource-access digest reflected the dropped
  _stream_file, and population.py's contract predated main's #907 import of
  the store's object-scalar codec; attachments.py itself was a listed stage
  module in ten stages;
- congressional_district_vintage.py's contract predated main's 05ff48f05
  (merged into this branch on 2026-09-11 at 9fba91070), which added the
  microcosm.calibrate.geography_constants import — an inherited drift the
  branch already carried, classified here as the same scoped-use tripwire
  route as the other microcosm.calibrate imports.

Recomputed with the module's own _dependency_contract / _covered_imports;
import_classifications is the exact union again. implementation_manifest
now builds for seven of the ten stages; asec_prepared_v3,
composed_asec_binding_v1 and composed_population_v1 still fail because they
name a resource, asec_current_money_engine_defaults_v1.json, that exists
neither on this branch nor on main (pre-existing; reported, not invented).

+# #893 reconciliation to main's amended graph interface — lane report
+
+Date: 2026-09-12. Worktree `~/PolicyEngine/_worktrees/microcosm-us-launch-verified-lanes-20260910`,
+branch `microcosm-us-launch-verified-lanes-20260910` (PR #893's branch is
+`microcosm-us-launch-integration-20260909`). Started at `069d5ed9a`. No push, no
+new branch, no stash, `uv.lock` untouched. Every commit below is on the
+checked-out branch.
+
+## 1. Outcome
+
+- `origin/main` (`0c3f4f651`, amendment 19) and
+  `origin/amend-keyed-seed-and-uniform-draws` (`23ba24770`, amendment 20 / PR
+  #912) are merged. **#912 was merged from its branch head**, so once it lands
+  the dispatcher should re-run `git merge origin/main`; for the graph and fit
+  packages, `docs/graph-interface.lock` and `docs/graph-acceptance.md` that is
+  expected to be a no-op (this tree already carries `23ba24770`'s bytes for all
+  of them, verified with `git diff --quiet 23ba24770 HEAD -- <paths>`).
+- Every frozen or amended file equals `23ba24770` byte for byte: `decl.py`,
+  `kernel.py`, `keys.py`, `serialize.py`, `view.py`, `artifact_edges.py`,
+  `randomness.py`, `population.py`, `fit/qrf.py`, the lock, the charter,
+  `test_graph_kernel_contract.py`, and every `test_acceptance_*` file. The
+  interface-lock test passes (it is part of the 518-test graph run below).
+- Four not-yet-amended graph pieces the US runtime consumes were re-applied
+  as separate named commits on top of main's files; four pieces with no
+  consumer were dropped (section 3).
+- The five graph tests the brief named are green; the whole graph package is
+  green (518 passed); the fit package is green (191 passed); the spec-engine
+  check, `ci_test_groups --verify` and ruff are clean. Build-side results are
+  in section 5.

+## 2. The two merges and the per-file resolution
+
+Baseline before any change (`uv run --no-sync pytest packages/microcosm-graph/tests`):
+5 failed, 362 passed, exit 1 — exactly the five the brief names
+(`test_acceptance_b_ownership::test_b2_executor_enforces_ownership`,
+`test_acceptance_h_parity::test_h1_kernel_parity`,
+`test_graph_executor::test_fit_qrf_tolerance_source_hash_pin_is_current`,
+`test_graph_kernel_contract::test_context_numerics_default_empty_and_carry_scopes`,
+`test_graph_serialize::test_generated_parity_graphs_bind_real_kernels_and_direct_bytes`).
+
+### Merge 1: `git merge origin/main` (commit `3010b7788`)
+
+Git reported 8 content conflicts plus one in `PROGRESS.md`; `store.py`,
+`__init__.py` and `PROGRESS.md` auto-merged. Resolution:
+
+| Path | Resolution |
+| --- | --- |
+| `packages/microcosm-graph/src/microcosm/graph/{artifact_edges,decl,executor,kernel,keys,manifest,serialize,view}.py` (conflicts) | main's bytes (`git checkout origin/main -- packages/microcosm-graph`) |
+| `packages/microcosm-graph/src/microcosm/graph/{store,__init__}.py` (auto-merged) | main's bytes, same checkout; the branch's hunks return as pieces A and B |
+| `packages/microcosm-graph/src/microcosm/graph/{attachments,availability,schema}.py` (branch-only) | removed in the merge (`git rm`); `availability.py` returns as piece C, the other two are dropped |
+| `packages/microcosm-graph/src/microcosm/graph/randomness.py` (branch-only until amendment 20) | kept as the branch had it; replaced by `23ba24770`'s in merge 2 |
+| `packages/microcosm-graph/tests/*` | main's bytes; the branch's copies were strict subsets of main's (numstat showed only removals), so this also dropped nothing of the branch's; `test_frame_metadata_store.py` and `test_lazy_snapshot_metadata_integration.py` (branch-only) removed here, the first returns with piece B, the second is dropped |
+| `packages/microcosm-graph/tests/fixtures/parity/kernels/fit.qrf/pins.json` | main's (consistent with fit/qrf.py being main's in this merge) |
+| `packages/microcosm-fit/src/microcosm/fit/qrf.py` (auto-merged to the branch's) | main's bytes; the branch's `predict_from_uniforms` returns with amendment 20 in merge 2 (the branch's qrf.py was byte-identical to `23ba24770`'s) |
+| `packages/microcosm-fit/src/microcosm/fit/{_graph_legacy_apply,_graph_legacy_qrf,graph_legacy_apply,graph_legacy_apply_matrix,graph_legacy_qrf,graph_legacy_train,model_input,qrf_target}.py` (branch-only) | kept: not amended content, consumed by the US runtime (layer 01) |
+| `docs/graph-interface.lock`, `docs/graph-acceptance.md` | main's bytes |
+| `PROGRESS.md` | both sides kept: this lane's section, then main's Amendment 19 and #907 sections, then the branch's history |
+| everything else | ordinary auto-merge |
+
+### Merge 2: `git merge 23ba24770` (commit `051357909`)
+
+Six conflicts:
+
+| Path | Resolution |
+| --- | --- |
+| `packages/microcosm-graph/src/microcosm/graph/randomness.py` (add/add) | `23ba24770`'s (adds the signed-zero normalisation the branch lacked) |
+| `packages/microcosm-fit/tests/test_qrf_stateless.py` (add/add) | `23ba24770`'s (182 lines; the branch's 159-line copy was a strict subset) |
+| `docs/evidence/spec-engine/us-f0-coverage.json` | `23ba24770`'s, then recomputed (section 4) |
+| `packages/microcosm-build/src/microcosm/build/spec_engine/inventory_coverage.py` (seed digests) | `23ba24770`'s, then recomputed (section 4) |
+| `packages/microcosm-build/tests/test_spec_engine_country_bundles.py` (AM/BE/UK digests) | `23ba24770`'s; see section 5 for the merged-tree check |
+| `packages/microcosm-build/tests/test_us_multispine_pool_tool.py` (pool tool `spec_sha256`) | `23ba24770`'s; see section 5 |
+
+After merge 2 the graph package, fit sources, lock and charter were
+byte-identical to `23ba24770` except the eight branch-only fit modules above;
+`docs/graph-interface.lock` matched `shasum -a 256` of the two frozen files.
+
+## 3. The not-yet-amended graph pieces
+
+Consumers were found by an AST scan of every `.py` under
+`packages/microcosm-{build,calibrate,fit,frame,data}` and `tools/` for names
+imported from `microcosm.graph.*` that `23ba24770`'s graph package does not
+define, plus greps for the keyword-level uses (`_population_observer=`,
+`population_retention=`, `emit_validation_artifact=`).
+
+### Kept (each re-applied on main's file as its own commit, with tests)
+
+| Piece | Commit | Consumers outside the graph package | Graph-level tests |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| A. `codecs.py` raw-byte mode: `SourceBytesCodec`, `register_bytes`/`load_bytes`, `raw-bytes-v1`, `RAW_BYTES_MAX_BYTES`, `load_source_bytes` (+ two `__init__` exports) | `752ab840f` | 13 modules: `graph_atomic_geography`, `graph_geography`, `graph_sources`, `graph_atomic_survey_population`, `graph_puf55_canonical_donor`, `puf_raw_source`, `puf_monetary_source`, `puf_monetary_agi_projection`, `puf_full_source_graph`, `atomic_block_sources`, `atomic_block_api_sources`, `survey_atomic_geography`, `puf55_survey_recipients`; 8 US test files | the branch had none; 4 added to `test_graph_codecs.py` (8 passed) |
+| B. `store.py` Frame-metadata storage (`microcosm-graph-frame-v2`, `_encode/_decode_frame_metadata`, `frame_metadata_sha256`, `_put(validate_existing=…)`) and the non-finite JSON decode hooks | `db1b7821a` | `survey_population_replay.same_replayed_frame`, `population_input_coverage`, `graph_full_puf_enrichment` (all call `_encode_frame_metadata`), and every US stage relying on `Frame.metadata` surviving a store round trip | `test_frame_metadata_store.py` (the branch's file, 19 collected tests) |
+| C. `availability.py` + executor/manifest execution states: `gate_exception`, `unreached`, `blocked_by`, cache-record schema 3, manifest schema 4, refusal of kernel-authored execution metadata; replaces amendment 19's refusal of a gate declaring a typed output | `d1019762b` | `graph_atomic_survey_clone` (`atomic_geography_nodes(..., emit_validation_artifact=True)` makes the geography gate declare a typed output, which main's executor refuses outright), its consumers `survey_age_calibration`, `graph_current_survey_predictors`, `survey_origin_budget`; `population_input_coverage` (`execution_state` on every producer receipt); build test `test_atomic_geography.py` parametrises the declaration | the branch had none; main's `test_a_gate_kernel_may_not_declare_a_typed_artifact_output` replaced by 6 tests in `test_graph_executor.py` (five in `d1019762b`, the structural-propagation one in `c704a1be6`) |
+| D. `run_graph(_population_observer=…)` | `a16eeacf8` | `survey_age_calibration`, `graph_atomic_survey_financial`, `graph_survey_population`, `graph_atomic_survey_population`; 8 US test files | the branch had none; 1 added |
+
+What was deliberately not re-applied inside those files: the branch's
+docstring deletions on the amended surface; its `_opaque_artifact_key`
+inline hash (main's `graph_keys.opaque_artifact_key` is the same
+derivation); its `KernelContext` argument order (frozen file); its eager
+artifact payload reads on cache hits (main authenticates edges without
+reading, `9018c4420`); its `StoreMiss`-on-hit for a missing declared artifact
+(main's `5c4a8efde` decision, `StoreCorrupt`); the removal of main's #907
+datetime64/timedelta64 object-leaf refusal in `store.py`; and main's
+`_validate_typed_ancestry` gate-ancestry shape check and the
+`NodeRejectedError`→`ValueError` conversion (`402d9a631`, `7d45c32e5`), which
+the branch's older copy lacked.
+
+### Dropped (no consumer left)
+
+| Piece | Why dropped |
+| --- | --- |
+| `attachments.py`, `_PopulationRetention`, `_LazyPopulations`, `run_graph(population_retention="lazy")`, `PopulationView.__slots__ = ("__weakref__",)` (staged as layer 08 GRAPH-ATTACHMENT-METADATA) | no call site outside the graph package passes `population_retention`; its only consumer was the branch's own `test_lazy_snapshot_metadata_integration.py`, dropped with it. It is a memory optimisation for long graphs (the native pilot's 11.5 GB peak is in the PR body); if it is wanted it is a self-contained later PR on top of piece B, which it imports. |
+| `schema.py` (`graph_schema`, 316 lines) | imported by nothing in the repository (the `graph_schema_version` hits in the spec bundle are unrelated). |
+| `keys.py` `_stream_file` chunked source hashing | no consumer and no test; it changes no identity (same digest sequence, it only bounds memory and refuses a file that changes while hashed). Main's `keys.py` is kept byte-identical. Candidate for a small standalone PR if large-source memory matters. |
+| the `_write_node` per-coordinate memory refactor and the `del series` | no consumer; behaviour-preserving; main's amended `_write_node` kept. |
+
+## 4. Identities re-pinned on the merged tree, and why
+
+- **Seed protocol and compiled seed map digests** (`inventory_coverage.py`
+  `EXPECTED_HASHES`, `docs/evidence/spec-engine/us-f0-coverage.json`;
+  commit `dc621c14c`). Both hash the exact source bytes of the attested kernel
+  modules in `spec_engine/seeds.py` (no `microcosm.graph` module is on that
+  list, so the graph pieces do not move them). The merged tree carries the
+  branch's `acs_transfer` and `housing_inputs` changes and, through amendment
+  20, the same `fit.qrf` bytes the branch already carried, so the actual
+  digests are the values the branch pinned in `1734b9e90`
+  (`a775cccd…` / `c15bff65…`), not `23ba24770`'s (computed on a tree without
+  the two US kernel changes). Computed directly (`spec.seed_protocol.implementation_sha256`,
+  `sha256_json(compiled.seed_stream_map.to_wire())`), then the report was
+  regenerated with `tools/spec_engine_coverage.py` and `--check` exits 0.
+- **H1 parity pins for `calibrate` and `simulate`** (commit `cff8fbf32`).
+  Six graph tests were red on the merged tree, all on these two cases.
+  `CalibrateKernel.implementation_hash` binds `microcosm.calibrate`'s solve and
+  diagnostics modules, which the branch's grouped-bound solver path changes
+  (layer 05); `SimulateRulesKernel.implementation_hash` binds
+  `microcosm.frame.bundle`, to which the branch adds `Frame.__reduce__` (layer
+  01). Re-recorded with `tools/graph_parity_repin.py calibrate` and
+  `… simulate`, which keep every pinned platform (both cases pin only
+  `arm64/darwin/py3.14`) and leave `direct.csv` untouched. The `fit.qrf` pin
+  came from `23ba24770` and needed no move.
+- **The US implementation inventory** (`us_runtime/graph_implementation_inventory.json`;
+  commit `07566eb17`). This reviewed dependency fence is checked by every US
+  source stage before it runs (`graph_implementation.implementation_manifest`),
+  and its refusal surfaces as `PREPARATION_ISSUANCE_REFUSED` (the preparation
+  wraps every exception; the true cause was recovered from the exception's
+  `__context__`). Three entries no longer held: the `microcosm.graph` roster
+  listed the dropped `attachments.py` and `schema.py` (39 survey tests red on
+  that alone); the contracts for `executor.py`, `manifest.py`, `keys.py` and
+  `population.py` reflected the branch's versions rather than main's plus the
+  kept pieces, and `attachments.py` was a listed stage module in ten stages;
+  and `congressional_district_vintage.py`'s contract predated main's
+  `05ff48f05` (merged into the branch on 2026-09-11), which added the
+  `microcosm.calibrate.geography_constants` import — an inherited drift the
+  branch already carried at `069d5ed9a`, verified by recomputing the
+  pre-merge tree's contracts against its own inventory. Recomputed with the
+  module's own `_dependency_contract` / `_covered_imports`; the import
+  classification set is the exact union again. Seven of the ten stages now
+  build their manifest; three cannot (section 8.5).
+- **Country-bundle digests and the pool tool's `spec_sha256`**: resolved to
+  `23ba24770`'s values in merge 2; their merged-tree check is in section 5.
+

+
+## 6. Layer map: landing #893 as sequential PRs
+
+Basis: `git diff --name-status origin/main HEAD` = 407 files (340 added, 67
+modified, 0 deleted), each attributed to the first branch commit that touched
+it (`git log --name-only --no-merges 3094bfe84..HEAD`), with the eleven
+`Stage integration layer NN` commits mapped to their layer names, the later
+staging commits to layers 12–14, the sixty post-staging commits of 10–12
+September grouped by subject (P1–P6), and the graph pieces of section 3 as
+their own layer. Import dependencies come from an AST scan of every changed
+`.py` file resolved against that attribution (`microcosm.*` imports only).
+The scripts and their JSON output are in this lane's scratchpad
+(`layers.py`, `layers2.py`, `layers.json`, `per-file-deps.json`).
+
+Two corrections to the staged layer names as they sit in git history:
+
+- Layer 08 GRAPH-ATTACHMENT-METADATA is empty in the map: its only file,
+  `attachments.py`, is dropped (section 3).
+- Layer 09 F-JOINT-GEOGRAPHY-GATE has no file of its own: its 27-line change
+  lives in `graph_geography.py`, which layer 01 created, so it lands with
+  layer 01.
+- Nineteen files differ from `origin/main` only because `origin/main` does not
+  yet carry amendment 20 (`kernel.py`, `randomness.py`, `fit/qrf.py`,
+  `test_graph_kernel_contract.py`, `test_graph_parity_*`,
+  `test_graph_randomness.py`, `tools/graph_parity_repin.py`, the three
+  `pins.json`, the lock, the charter, the amendment-20 journal/receipts/
+  changelog fragment) or were re-pinned by this lane. They vanish from the diff
+  when #912 lands and are not #893 content; they are listed under
+  "already on main's way" below and belong to no PR.
+
+### Dependency facts the order rests on
+
+Three kinds of link were measured, strongest first:
+
+1. **Hard**: a file imports a module that does not exist on `origin/main`
+   (a file the branch adds). These force order.
+2. **Name-hard**: a file imports, from a module main already has, a *name*
+   that main's version of that module does not define (checked by parsing
+   `git show origin/main:<file>`). Only three survive after discarding
+   submodule imports that merely look like names: `GroupedUpperBounds`
+   (layer 03's two-line re-export in `calibrate/__init__.py` of layer 01's
+   `group_bounds.py`; imported by layer 12's and 13's tests),
+   `decode_us_puma_ladder` (layer 06's `puma_ladder.py`; imported by layer
+   13's `test_us_geography_integration.py`), and the graph pieces' names
+   (`load_source_bytes`, `load_raw_bytes`, `RAW_BYTES_MAX_BYTES`,
+   `_encode_frame_metadata`, `execution_state`).
+3. **Soft**: a file imports a module main already has that the branch also
+   modifies (`frame_checkpoint`, `asec_checkpoint`, `operator_boundary`,
+   `us_runtime/__init__`, `calibrate/__init__`, `solve.py`, `bundle.py`,
+   `variable_labels.py`, and amendment 20's `qrf.py`/`kernel.py`). These do
+   not force order by themselves; each PR's own test run is what proves the
+   modified behaviour is or is not needed.
+
+Hard links between layers (source and tests):
+
+| Layer | hard on | of which tests only |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| 01 SAFE-ADDITIVE | nothing | — |
+| 03 ACCEPTED-SHARED-RESTORE | 01 (`group_bounds`, `reported_coverage_source`, `_person_signal_summary`, `operator_column_contracts`, `table_identity`), P3 (`asec_raw_stage_v4`) | P3 link is `test_us_asec_checkpoint.py` only |
+| 04, 06 | nothing hard (soft on 01/03) | — |
+| 05 SOLVE-MERGE-PROPOSAL | 01 (`group_bounds`) | — |
+| 07 F-CATALOGUE-OPTIMIZATION | 01 (`survey_population_preparation`) | all three files are tests |
+| 10 SOURCE-CLOSURE | G1 (soft) | — |
+| 11 PLACEMENT-ADDITIONS | 01 (the eight fit modules, `full_puf_enrichment`, `graph_sources`, `survey_population_replay`), G1, G2 | — |
+| 12 ORDINARY-CLOSURE | 01 (fit modules), 03 (`GroupedUpperBounds`) | all files are tests/fixtures |
+| 13 INTEGRATION-REGRESSIONS | 01 (`graph_geography`), 03 (`GroupedUpperBounds`), 06 (`decode_us_puma_ladder`) | all three are tests |
+| P1 POST-CLONE-ATOMIC-GEOGRAPHY | 01 (`randomness` = amendment 20, fit modules, `graph_combined_clone`, `graph_sources`, `graph_survey_population`, `survey_*`), G1, G3 (the gate's declared artifact), P2 | P2 link is two tests (`test_us_current_survey_predictor_demographics.py`, `test_us_survey_origin_budget_predictor_compatibility.py`) |
+| P2 PUF55-TWO-ROUTE-AND-CANONICAL-DONOR | 01 (`model_input`, `_graph_legacy_qrf`, `graph_legacy_*`, and eleven test-side modules), 11 (`graph_full_puf_enrichment`, two tests), P1 (`graph_atomic_survey_financial`, one test), G1 | 11 and P1 links are tests only |
+| P3 SURVEY-POPULATION-CATALOGUE-AND-BUDGET | 01 (`reported_coverage_source` from `asec_raw_stage_v4`; six test-side modules), G2, G3 (`population_input_coverage`), P2 (`asec_demographic_source`) | P2 link is `test_us_asec_demographic_source.py` only |
+| P4 | nothing hard (soft on 03) | — |
+| P5 | nothing hard (soft on 01/03/04/06) | — |
+| P6 UK-ADAPTER-DOCS-AND-RECORDS | P1 (`atomic_geography`) | — |
+
+Two cycles exist and both are test-only: P1↔P2 (three tests) and 03↔P3
+(one test). Every source-level dependency is acyclic.
+
+### Landing order
+
+1. **PR-G1 raw-byte codec** — piece A (`codecs.py`, `__init__.py`,
+   `test_graph_codecs.py`). No dependency. Charter entry 7.1.
+2. **PR-G2 Frame metadata storage** — piece B (`store.py`,
+   `test_frame_metadata_store.py`,
+   `changelog.d/20260906-frame-metadata-storage.fixed.md`). No dependency.
+   Charter entry 7.2.
+3. **PR-G3 execution states** — piece C (`availability.py`, `executor.py`,
+   `manifest.py`, `test_graph_executor.py`). No code dependency, but it
+   supersedes an amendment-19 ruling: **needs Max's decision (section 8)
+   before it is opened.** Charter entry 7.3.
+4. **PR-G4 population observer** — piece D (`executor.py`,
+   `test_graph_executor.py`). Stacks on G3 only because both edit
+   `executor.py`; G3+G4 can be one PR. Charter entry 7.4.
+5. **PR-1 SAFE-ADDITIVE** — all of layer 01: 101 non-test files (100 modules
+   plus `graph_implementation_inventory.json`; `randomness.py` is excluded, it
+   is amendment 20) and its 26 test files, plus layer 03's two-line
+   `calibrate/__init__.py` re-export of `GroupedUpperBounds` (it belongs with
+   `group_bounds.py`) and layer 09's 27 lines (already inside
+   `graph_geography.py`), and `graph_implementation_inventory.json`, which
+   pins the `microcosm.graph` roster and module contracts and therefore has
+   to be re-pinned against whatever main's graph package is when PR-1 opens
+   (`07566eb17` shows the procedure). Hard on G1, G2 and G4 only (`_population_observer`
+   in `survey_age_calibration` and `graph_survey_population`). Its 21 soft
+   links are listed in the scratchpad `pr1-refined.json`; the PR's gate is
+   its own 26 test files on main + G1–G4 + PR-1.
+6. **PR-2 US runtime restore** — layers 03 (without the `__init__` re-export
+   moved to PR-1, and with `asec_raw_stage_v4.py` moved in from P3 so
+   `test_us_asec_checkpoint.py` runs), 04 (`puf_support.py`), 05
+   (`calibrate/solve.py`), 06 (`us_runtime/__init__.py`, `puma_ladder*.py`,
+   `tools/build_us_puma_ladder_artifact.py`, six tests), 12's calibrate
+   tests and fixture, 13's three regressions and `docs/us-launch-review.md`,
+   14 (`dfa7f872c`), and the two re-pins that these files move: the
+   calibrate H1 pin (`solve.py`) and the seed digests (`acs_transfer.py`,
+   `housing_inputs.py`). 03/04/05/06 touch disjoint files and could be four
+   PRs (05 first, since only it is hard on 01); they are one here because
+   their tests import across all four.
+7. **PR-3 catalogue, source closure, placement** — layers 07 (three digest
+   tests + fragment), 10 (`graph_acs_housing_universe.py`, eight JSON source
+   definitions), 11 (`graph_full_puf_enrichment.py` + test), and 12's fit
+   tests (`test_graph_legacy_*`, `test_qrf_target.py`,
+   `legacy-slice-apply-v1.json`). Hard on PR-1 and G1/G2.
+8. **PR-4 calibration diagnostics** — P4 (`variable_labels.py`, its test,
+   fragments, experiments). Soft on PR-2.
+9. **PR-5 survey population, catalogue and budget** — P3 minus
+   `asec_raw_stage_v4.py`: `common_frame_export_contract`,
+   `input_coverage_profile`, `population_input_coverage`,
+   `frame/bundle.py`'s `__reduce__` (carries the simulate H1 re-pin), ten
+   tests including `test_us_spine_blindness.py`;
+   `test_us_asec_demographic_source.py` rides with PR-7 instead. Hard on
+   PR-1, G2, G3.
+10. **PR-6 post-clone atomic geography** — P1 (`atomic_geography.py`,
+    `graph_atomic_geography.py`, `atomic_block_*`, `graph_atomic_survey_*`,
+    `survey_atomic_geography.py`, `current_survey_geography.py`,
+    `tools/ci_test_groups.py`, fourteen tests); its two P2-importing tests
+    ride with PR-7. Hard on PR-1, G1, G3.
+11. **PR-7 PUF55 two-route and canonical donor** — P2 (nineteen modules,
+    twenty-one tests plus the three deferred from PR-5/PR-6, PUF docs and
+    growth evidence, `pyproject.toml`'s `pythonpath` line). Hard on PR-1,
+    PR-3 (11), PR-5, PR-6.
+12. **PR-8 CI, seed-identity diagnostics and spine blindness** — P5
+    (`.github/workflows/test.yml`, `tools/spec_seed_identity_diagnostics.py`,
+    the seven `test_spec_seed_identity_*` files, `CLAUDE.md`,
+    `test_spec_engine_loader.py`, `test_us_puf_support.py`,
+    `test_us_stacked_spine.py`, the AM/BE/UK bundle digests). Soft on PR-2
+    and PR-5; last because the diagnostic's roster names modules from every
+    earlier PR.
+13. **PR-9 UK adapter, docs and records** — P6 (`uk_runtime/atomic_area_support.py`,
+    `atomic_household_identity.py`, two tests, `.gitattributes`, records).
+    Hard on PR-6.
+
+Every `experiments/` record and `changelog.d/` fragment rides with the PR
+whose code it describes (listed per layer below). The "already on main's
+way" files (amendment 20, listed at the top of this section) belong to no PR.

+## 7. Draft charter amendment entries (one per kept graph piece)
+
+Written in the style of `docs/graph-acceptance.md` "Interface freeze". None of
+the four touches `decl.py` or `kernel.py`, so none re-records the lock; they
+are offered as numbered entries because each changes what a receipt, a store
+object or an executor outcome means, which the charter records.
+
+**7.1 Raw-byte sources.** A source codec is registered in exactly one of two
+modes and a name belongs to at most one: *Frame mode* (`SourceCodec`,
+`SourceCodecRegistry.register` / `load`) decodes a source into a population
+`Frame`, and *raw-byte mode* (`SourceBytesCodec`, `register_bytes` /
+`load_bytes`, `load_source_bytes`) decodes it into immutable `bytes` that the
+consuming kernel alone interprets. Neither mode can be loaded through the
+other: the mismatch is a `TypeError` naming the mode the codec has, so no
+caller receives bytes where it declared a Frame. The shipped `raw-bytes-v1`
+codec reads one regular file, bounded at `RAW_BYTES_MAX_BYTES` (64 MiB) and
+opened non-blocking so a directory, FIFO, device or socket is refused from
+the descriptor's own mode. Identity, the pre-run content key and the post-run
+mutation check stay in the executor (E1, E3 unchanged; C3's "declared
+predecessors only" is untouched because a source is not a node). Why: a
+lookup NPZ or a crosswalk CSV that an import kernel turns into a typed
+`ArtifactOutput` (amendment 19) is not a population, and the only way to read
+it before this was a Frame codec registered as a pretence. Raised by the US
+launch integration branch (thirteen consumers); no key moves, because
+`SourceRef.codec` was already normative and `raw-bytes-v1` is a new name.
+
+**7.2 Frames keep their metadata across the store.** A frame object is
+written as `microcosm-graph-frame-v2`: `Frame.metadata` is encoded
+losslessly (mappings, tuples, frozensets, `float64` bit patterns, scalars)
+into the frame manifest, its SHA-256 is recorded in the object header, and
+`_read_frame` refuses a mismatch as `StoreCorruptError`. A v1 object is
+`StoreUnavailableError` on load rather than a Frame with its metadata silently
+dropped, and writing a frame under a key that already holds one with different
+metadata is `StoreCorruptError` (E1: a key identifies exactly one content).
+The JSON decode boundary refuses `NaN`/`Infinity` and overflowing numerals,
+because every store JSON is written with `allow_nan=False`, so a corrupt
+manifest is `StoreCorruptError` at the boundary rather than a `TypeError`
+from the canonical re-encoder (E2). Why: the US survey stages carry source
+provenance in `Frame.metadata` and replay verifiers compare it
+(`same_replayed_frame`); until now a population that went through the store
+came back without it. No node key moves: the frame key is the node's, and
+metadata was never part of a key. Raised by the US launch integration
+branch (`8d9f62c40`); acceptance items E1 and E2.
+
+**7.3 Execution states: a gate exception leaves its consumers unreached.**
+Amendment 19 refused a gate kernel that declares a typed artifact output
+because it had no regime for an output a node was unable to produce. This
+entry supplies the regime and lifts the refusal. The executor owns an
+execution state (`"microcosm.graph.execution.v1"`) that a kernel may not
+author: a gate that declares typed outputs and raises still becomes a `fail`
+verdict and the run continues (amendment 7, now literally true for every
+node shape), and its receipt records `gate_exception` with the outputs it
+could not produce; a node whose predecessor is `unreached`, or whose declared
+byte input its producer recorded as unavailable, is itself recorded
+`unreached` with its blockers named by node key — it runs no kernel and
+invents no column, frame, weight or byte (F1: nothing is fabricated); a
+release behind such an edge derives its tier from the same ancestry and stays
+`evidence` (F2). Cache records that carry a state use schema 3; a cached
+unreached record is a hit only while the same inputs are unavailable for the
+same reason and is `StoreCorruptError` once they exist (E3); `require`
+preflight derives blockers from the cached parents. A run manifest carrying
+any state serializes at schema 4 and authenticates every blocker on load
+(F5, E4). No node key moves: states live in receipts and records, never in a
+key. Why: the US post-clone geography gate emits a typed validation artifact
+that the financial stages consume, so a geography failure must leave those
+stages unreached rather than abort the run or launder the gate into a compute
+node. Raised by the US launch integration branch; supersedes the interim
+ruling recorded in amendment 19.
+
+**7.4 A private population observer.** `run_graph` accepts
+`_population_observer`, a callable handed each node's admitted population
+(design anchors included) after the result is applied and before the node is
+persisted, on cold execution and on cache hits alike; it must not mutate the
+population, an exception it raises refuses the run, and an unreached node
+has no population to observe. It is an integration seam for verifiers (the
+US survey stages assert design-weight provenance through it), not a kernel
+capability: it enters no key, receipt or record (A1, B4 unchanged). Raised by
+the US launch integration branch.
+
+## 8. Decisions needed from Max
+
+1. **Piece C supersedes an amendment-19 ruling.** The Amendment 19 lane
+   recorded "the gate-artifact-output refusal is the one interim ruling this
+   lane made on his behalf". This branch's US runtime needs the opposite (the
+   post-clone geography gate declares its validation artifact and three
+   stages consume it), so piece C re-applies the branch's execution-state
+   regime and replaces main's test that pins the refusal with five tests of
+   the new regime. Both the frozen files and every `test_acceptance_*` file
+   are untouched, but the executor's behaviour on that one node shape now
+   differs from what the charter's amendment 19 text says. Landing PR-G3
+   requires adopting entry 7.3 (or an edited form) in the charter; until then
+   this branch's executor and the charter disagree on that sentence.
+2. **Lazy population retention** (`attachments.py`, layer 08) is dropped for
+   lack of a consumer. If the native pilot's memory ceiling is a reason to
+   keep it, it is a self-contained PR on top of PR-G2.
+3. **`_stream_file` and the `_write_node` refactor** are dropped for lack of a
+   consumer. Both are memory-only; say if either should come back as its own
+   small PR.
+4. **The report's home.** `out.md` at the repo root is a tracked file holding
+   the F1 Sol gate round-1 report (2026-09-04). This report is written there
+   for the dispatcher but is **not committed** there; the committed copy is
+   `experiments/893-reconciliation-amendments-19-20-20260912.md`.
+5. **Three US stages name a resource that does not exist anywhere.**
+   `asec_prepared_v3`, `composed_asec_binding_v1` and `composed_population_v1`
+   list `us_runtime/asec_current_money_engine_defaults_v1.json` in their
+   resources; the file is on neither this branch (at `069d5ed9a` or now) nor
+   `origin/main` (it appears only in two commits of another branch,
+   `b0e7f54b2` / `b6cfc84b0`). `implementation_manifest` for those stages has
+   therefore been failing since before this lane. Not invented here; the
+   owner of layer 10 SOURCE-CLOSURE has to admit the file or drop the entry,
+   and the inventory's "scope review" rule applies to `07566eb17` as well.
+6. **Two build tests fail locally for reasons outside this lane** if they are
+   run: `test_release_target_parity.py`'s two `_feed_or_skip` tests need a 131
+   MB feed outside the repository (already recorded by the Amendment 19 lane).
+   They were not part of this lane's runs.
+
+## 9. Where things are
+
+- Journal: `PROGRESS.md` (top section, cumulative file).
+- This report: `out.md` (uncommitted, the `-o` path) and
+  `experiments/893-reconciliation-amendments-19-20-20260912.md` (committed).
+- Scratch evidence (session-local, not committed): the AST consumer scan,
+  the layer scripts and JSON, and every gate log named in section 5.

-The US new graph has passed a small real survey → block assignment → clone →
-financial-enrichment build and required replay. The combined survey population
-has 1,584 source households and 3,168 records after cloning. That native result
-uses the earlier assignment-before-cloning order. The corrected nine-node prefix
-and nineteen-node financial extension now pass their invented controls; the
-next native pilot must use their new order and a fresh graph store. The remaining
-critical sequence is complete PUF/input integration, a small real full build,
-model and calibration evaluation, then progressive scale and release verification. See
+The 11 September native pilot passed the corrected survey → full initial
+support clone → atomic block assignment → financial-enrichment order. At a
+1/1000 source sample, its 1,584 source households and 3,464 people become
+3,168 households and 6,928 people after cloning. The nineteen-node graph fits
+and attaches seven financial fields. Its closed receipt is tied to frozen
+source `2ca11c85a`, and reports 5,362 seconds elapsed and 9.31 GB peak RSS.

+
+On 12 September, a strict required replay of that frozen source was launched
+with a fresh output directory and a read-only retained store. It must verify
+all source bytes again, reuse every node, and reproduce complete artifact
+content, excluding only operational timing and cache-hit fields. Its outcome
+is pending. Meanwhile the maintained graph's observer-mutation defect has been
+fixed and independently reviewed, and the shared graph changes are being
+consolidated against the amended main interface. These software changes still
+need their own native candidate verification; the frozen pilot does not
+certify the newer source.
+
+The remaining critical sequence is complete PUF/input integration, a small
+real full build, model and calibration evaluation, then progressive scale
+and release verification. The existing age-development runner is a separate
+prefix demonstration, not calibration of the nineteen-node financial result. See
 [the US review guide](us-launch-review.md) for scoped acceptance records.

+# PUF55 host restoration on the reconciled graph
+
+This change restores the existing PUF55 composition over an issued nineteen-node
+post-clone financial run. The shared ACS/ASEC survey population is cloned before
+atomic geography is assigned. Recipient measurement follows financial completion;
+a common canonical PUF donor supplies two disjoint conditioning routes, followed
+by one placement into the full survey population. The original survey channel,
+source identities, memberships, Social Security fields and knownness, geography,
+design anchors and household weights are retained.
+
+`run_survey_puf55` accepts the actual financial run and original PUF source paths.
+It requires the financial issuer, source keys, producer implementations and typed
+model ancestry. Its explicit `resume="require"` call must hit every graph node.
+There are 25 fixed-prefix/finalization nodes plus 110 per nonempty route: 245
+nodes for the two-route fixture. Each route fits and applies 55 targets. The
+known survey report total adds a ninth predictor; unknown totals use eight
+predictors without a zero fallback. The four Social Security components remain
+owned by the survey completion stage. Prior wages are excluded.
+
+The restoration consists of two new production modules, the existing canonical
+donor fixture's opt-in weighted-tail support, the full host controls and the tiny
+heterogeneous-manifest controls. It incorporates the later corrected mutation
+control, which changes the retained receiving DataFrame and proves its complete
+population seal changed. All earlier fixture helpers and newer tests remain.
+Ruff formatting/import order is the only difference from the preserved source
+candidate's executable AST. No existing production module or implementation
+inventory JSON was replaced. The new kernels' implementation hashes bind both
+new host modules and their consumed canonical, recipient and numerical owners.
+
+## Current-source validation
+
+The source base is `9e61d0d04f5930aa72aef2faf83b2a9c7f2b4284`, including the
+reconciled graph and keyed-draw corrections. Tests run against a frozen inventory
+of 976 source/configuration files and 15 exact code resources, with no native
+input, country engine, network or child process access. Numeric worker counts
+are one. Runtime stores contain newly constructed invented inputs only.
+
+The 28 heterogeneous-manifest controls and three canonical fixture controls pass
+together: 31 tests, zero failures/errors/skips, 5.97 wall seconds, 5.61 CPU seconds
+and 437 MB peak RSS. The guard's source/owned/resource before-and-after checks
+pass. The preceding run also passed its tests but failed its reporting gate
+because optional pytest-owned current-symlink attempts were newly refused. That
+failed record is preserved. A fresh run kept the symlinks refused and classified
+only explicitly bounded attempts within its owned directory as expected.
+
+The two full-host positive controls pass: two tests, zero failures/errors/skips,
+741.87 wall seconds, 734.55 CPU seconds and 739 MB peak RSS. They share one actual
+financial fixture, use 64 invented PUF donors and two trees, and execute the
+245-node cold extension plus required replay. The direct whole-cohort oracle
+checks all outputs and non-owned storage. The finite limits were 1,800 CPU
+seconds, 2,700 wall seconds and 8 GiB measured peak RSS. The guard exits zero,
+records no unexpected refusals, and confirms all 984 source/owned hashes and
+15 resource hashes stayed unchanged. This validates the restored composition on
+the current frozen source, not the entire twenty-case host test file.
+
+An owned diagnostic hook successfully ran the existing NATIONAL_CD input-coverage
+operation on the actual attached population within the fixture's checked
+lifetime, bracketed by the normal purity and financial-owner checks. The fixture
+contains 12 households and 18 people spanning ACS/ASEC and original/clone channels.
+Of 161 required input names, 61 are present and 100 are absent; no ambiguous grain
+or block-storage issue is reported, and all 12 household block values are known.
+The absent roster includes survey demographics and disability, health coverage,
+assets, take-up and several survey-owned income names. These include the four
+canonical Social Security component names, which this PUF stage deliberately
+does not write; the synthetic roster does not establish native input coverage. Prior wages remain excluded.
+Known/unknown and writer/carried counts are recorded by source/clone. Applicability,
+source ancestry, statistical signal and release eligibility remain unverified.
+
+The closed host receipt is SHA256
+`d2288ee0e321297875509ee962faef8ee886399a717cad47356921dada8be698`;
+the descriptive synthetic coverage is
+`d405c7d559a2f2141d83c076d8cef8bbe33f30ba403a7eaedf76cff1161cb7a6`.
+Both live under the durable local adoption packet's `run-host2-v2` directory;
+`ACCEPTANCE-SUMMARY.json` provides a bounded index without producer payloads.
+An independent source review found no actionable defect in the five-file
+restoration and confirmed the preserved source pins and executable AST parity.
+
+CI test-file partition verification passes with 487 tracked files. The new host
+file enters fast `rest` and engine `us-am:build`; the heterogeneous-manifest file
+enters fast `rest` and engine `us-p`. The canonical fixture file retains its
+existing `us-am:build` placement. The classifier and country spec/seed pins are
+unchanged. Ruff and staged whitespace checks pass.
+
+## Native and release work remains separate
+
+A new native harness must retain the actual financial run in process and provide
+a writable store for new PUF artifacts. The retained historical financial replay
+store remains read-only. Genuine PUF source validation, conditional-fit quality,
+complete applicable input coverage, national/CD calibration, holdouts, pruning
+and exact release export/readback are not established by these synthetic tests.
+The host emits a development result with release eligibility false.
+
+`SurveyPuf55Run` is a public frozen dataclass, not a retained issuer. The runner
+checks source/artifact ancestry and the complete output immediately before
+return, but supplies no post-return `check_run` or issuance registry. The genuine
+financial handle retained inside it authenticates the upstream financial run,
+not subsequent mutations or copies of the final PUF population. Receipt booleans
+cannot grant that authority. A downstream calibration bridge must consume the
+actual checked output within an explicitly fenced host operation or implement
+and test a retained output check; it cannot infer portable ownership from this
+dataclass or receipt. This restoration adds no such admission mechanism.

+"""Declared fiscal measurements on one supplied US population, without fitting.
+
+V1 supports shared-interpreter value variables, sums and same-entity predicates.
+Every target also has an explicit national/state/CD household scope. Specialized
+providers, counterfactuals, band interpretation and monetary-binding receipts
+are refused. This is not full fiscal-registry coverage or a population issuer.
+The host owns source/target activation and complete-enrichment ancestry.
+
+Computed roots use the existing real US adapter only after its static closure
+is explicitly present, with no missing cells or default allowlist. Measurements
+and model outputs live only in private tables and a bounded CSR artifact.

+The maintained PUF55 host is now adopted. Its 31 small controls and two actual
+full-host controls pass on invented inputs: both conditioning routes, 110 fits
+and 110 applications, cold execution, required replay, whole-population
+preservation and numerical finalizer equality. The full-host run took 742

+The new fiscal measurement stage passes all 66 interpreter/stage checks on the
+combined integration, including an actual US-engine dividend calculation. It
+uses declared target bindings, household-aligned CSR measurements and explicit
+national/state/CD masks. Missing consumed predicates refuse, indicator sums
+are numeric, and local calculation helpers participate in cache identity.
+Specialized unsupported bindings refuse; this is not full fiscal-registry
+coverage. The dense grouped weight solve is being integrated separately.

+Complete-population ancestry remains an explicit requirement. The PUF host
+checks its output before return but does not issue a persistent authority token
+for its public dataclass. Later calibration and export must check the actual
+retained output; they cannot treat its receipt as an admission mechanism. The

+# Native financial graph required replay — 12 September 2026
+
+The frozen nineteen-node financial graph passed a separate required-cache
+replay on real ACS/ASEC inputs. This accepts replay of the earlier financial
+pilot, not PUF enrichment, a calibration, a current-source population or release.
+
+## Exact scope
+
+- Source: `2ca11c85a0f710b8fa495e363243b940f7eabae2`.
+- One collected test passed; outer guard result `0`.
+- Request: source fraction `1/1000`, survey/geography seed `20260908`, two
+  trees, demographic conditioning enabled, `resume="require"`.
+- All nine prefix nodes and all nineteen financial-graph nodes were cache hits.
+- The graph, preparation, projection and recipient-matrix exports matched the
+  cold run byte for byte. Portable manifest content matched after removing only
+  start/end times and per-node timing/cache-hit fields. The complete artifact
+  report also matched, excluding its cache-hit and manifest-file identity fields.
+- Source, resources, native inputs, owned files, baseline exports and thread
+  controls remained unchanged. There were no unexpected access refusals.
+- Elapsed: `3981.09802937496` seconds; CPU: `3944.4073700000004` seconds;
+  peak RSS: `10988191744` bytes. Declared limits were 7,200 CPU seconds,
+  10,800 elapsed seconds and 32 GiB peak RSS, with one numerical worker.
+
+The source population remains 1,584 households / 3,464 people, expanded to
+3,168 households / 6,928 people before block assignment. The final stage carries
+seven financial fields. The same frozen source produced the 11 September cold
+pilot; no broader coverage follows from replay.
+
+## Evidence identities
+
+| Evidence | SHA256 |
+| --- | --- |
+| Closed replay guard receipt | `71d6981518acad0ad0fd199f906c01ccfa867796aaf053cf6fa5f5a3df1193ae` |
+| Final replay manifest | `c8a1b7715bae740c183aa592fca718849e35edf6722328c1de3d83f0cacafa77` |
+| Cold baseline manifest | `0d745678802d8dae16750f57ebe779644237e1b2416f1cb78edf4c59d2163f0e` |
+| Reviewed guard | `5a2bcd05665644a86ff2f3fc35a2e7e751d759412380dce07193f9b0c6f3c670` |
+| Manifest content key, both runs | `134ab4ea39b434066e48258be345999425a6d23f3b5016680f457fd357be9edf` |
+
+Retained local evidence is in
+`PolicyEngine/_recovered/pilot-runs/native19-required-20260912/run`:
+`us-native-postclone-financial19-required-20260912.json`,
+`native-financial-manifest.json`, and the reviewed harness and helper.
+The coordinator's metadata postcheck is
+`PolicyEngine/_recovered/scratch-backup/893/codex-takeover-20260912/native-required-replay-postcheck.json`.
+It rechecked receipt consistency, exact owned-file hashes, reported bounds,
+node hits and export identities without reading native data or generated Frame
+payloads again. The actual payload comparison and final source/output checks ran
+inside the reviewed native harness before its successful guard closure.
+
+The guard's expected optional dependency probes remain recorded separately from
+unexpected refusals. The run enabled no engine, network, child processes or
+automatic retry. Original cold and failed-attempt evidence remains retained.
+
+## Next acceptance
+
+The maintained integration includes later runtime repairs and the restored
+PUF55 host. Its native candidate needs a fresh cold execution, required replay,
+complete input coverage and full Frame export/readback on that identified source.
+Calibration and complete-population acceptance follow separately. This replay
+does not authorize reuse of the serialized receipt as a live population issuer.

+"""Numerical dense fiscal calibration; complete-parent admission stays external.
+
+The caller supplies original DESIGN anchors and origin-derived absolute caps.
+This module transports and checks those numbers but cannot authenticate their
+source or the complete Population. The host must compare original anchors and
+admit the complete parent and successor on cold execution, replay and return.
+
+One existing grouped Adam/free-mass solve preserves every initial zero exactly.
+There is no pruning, restart, repeated calibration or row-cap relaxation. CSR
+rows enter the existing public Target callable API one at a time: O(N) temporary
+row memory, plus sparse storage, rather than a dense target-by-household table.
+The existing solver chooses sparse/dense Torch storage for the resulting matrix;
+its capped scaled-MAPE objective uses float32 and accepted weights use float64.

+# microcosm#908 — per-target calibration estimate snapshots (bounded slice 1)
+
+Lane journal for branch `calibration-target-snapshots-908-20260912`.
+Journals are history, not state (see CLAUDE.md): check git/GitHub for current truth.
+
+## State
+
+In progress. Bounded first slice only — see "Out of scope for this slice".
+
+## Scope of this slice
+
+1. A shared, leaf-level typed snapshot codec in `microcosm-calibrate`:
+   schema name + version, aggregate-only per-target rows, ordered target
+   identity digest, finite-value and ordering validation, signed relative
+   error with the repo's existing zero-target convention.
+2. Real emission from the actual Adam solver loop in
+   `microcosm.calibrate.solve`, at a configurable bounded cadence with an
+   explicit every-epoch option, opt-in (off by default).
+3. Honest iterate labelling: current / best_retained / selected, with the
+   selected snapshot taken from the weights the solver actually returns.
+4. Atomic local `latest.json` plus immutable, bounded history chunks.
+5. A synthetic-only benchmark at US/UK-sized dimensions (invented matrices).
+
+## Out of scope for this slice (remaining #908 acceptance scope)
+
+- Version-2 staging upload / remote publication (PR896's country host).
+- Calibration Diagnostics UI (different repository, by the issue's own text).
+- Real UK/US native calibration measurements — this host is forbidden native
+  microdata, engine runs and installs, so no real-run cadence default is
+  announced here.
+
+## Done
+
+- (nothing yet)
+
+## Next
+
+- Read scouts, write failing tests, implement, bench, commit.

Subject: [PATCH 115/255] Emit per-target calibration estimate snapshots from
 the solver
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Issue #908's first bounded slice. The solver already materializes the
complete target-estimate vector once per epoch and drops it: only the
scalar loss reaches progress_callback, and the per-target picture appears
only after the run, in calibration_diagnostics.json.

microcosm.calibrate.target_snapshots is the shared, leaf-level codec for
publishing that vector mid-run. A snapshot is aggregate-only by
construction — one row per calibration target, no weights, no record
index, and validation refuses an unknown top-level key or a record-level
key name at any depth, so the context seam cannot smuggle record data.
The prohibited names match the version-2 staging content policy's, so a
payload that passes here is not rejected later at publication.

Iterate labelling is honest rather than convenient. `current` is the
epoch's iterate; `best_retained` is attached only when those values ARE
the incumbent best AND the optimizer is retaining one at all (gated,
mass-conserved and L2 runs retain none, and say so rather than
nominating a newest-is-best); `selected` is taken from the weights
calibrate returns, off the same float64 estimates the final diagnostics
use. In-loop snapshots are float32-derived and record that, matching the
existing selection receipt's float32 honesty.

Emission reads `estimate.detach()` — the tensor the epoch's loss was
already computed from. It never re-runs the forward pass, which would
redraw the hard-concrete gates' noise and move the RNG stream. With the
observer off nothing runs; with it on the weights and trajectory are
unchanged, which a test pins directly.

Identity survives multi-phase runs and sparse-selection searches: each
budget probe carries its own (iteration, iters, l0_lambda), l0_selection
and post_l0_refit carry their phase, and one monotone sequence counter
shared across every phase view recovers true emission order where epoch
numbers restart. targets_sha256 digests the ordered (name, target value)
list, so reordering or revaluing breaks it.

The local store replaces latest.json atomically (temp file, fsync,
os.replace, parent fsync) so a concurrent dashboard read never sees a
partial document, and writes each snapshot once to an immutable history
chunk with a bounded retention whose drops are recorded, not silent.

Opt-in throughout; no production cadence default is announced, because
no native calibration was measured.

+Shared microcosm-calibrate can emit aggregate-only per-target estimate snapshots from real solver iterations at a configurable bounded or every-epoch cadence, with a versioned schema, stable ordered target identity digest, honest current/best-retained/selected iterate labelling, and an atomic latest-snapshot plus immutable bounded history store (opt-in; off by default).

+"""Per-target estimate snapshots from an in-progress calibration (microcosm#908).
+
+The solver already materializes the complete target-estimate vector once per
+epoch (``estimate = A @ w`` inside :func:`~microcosm.calibrate.solve._optimize`)
+and then drops it: only the scalar loss reaches ``progress_callback``, and the
+complete per-target picture appears only after the run finishes, in
+``calibration_diagnostics.json``. This module is the shared, aggregate-only
+codec that lets a run publish that vector *while it is still running*, without
+changing what the optimizer computes.
+
+Three promises the codec is built to keep.
+
+**Aggregate-only.** A snapshot carries one row per calibration *target* and
+nothing else. There is no weight vector, no record index, and no household,
+person, benefit-unit or source-record identifier; :func:`validate_target_snapshot`
+refuses a payload that carries an unknown top-level key or a record-level key
+name anywhere inside it, so smuggling record data through the ``context`` seam
+fails loudly rather than silently shipping.
+
+**Honest iterate labelling.** ``current`` means "the weights the optimizer held
+at this epoch". ``best_retained`` means "these values are the incumbent best
+iterate's, and the optimizer is actually retaining a best" — it is never
+attached to an iterate merely because it is the newest. ``selected`` means "the
+weights the solver actually returned". A run whose optimizer retains no best at
+all (gated, mass-conserved, or L2-penalized runs; see ``retain_best`` in
+:mod:`~microcosm.calibrate.solve`) reports ``best_retained.available: false``
+rather than nominating one.
+
+**Stable identity.** ``targets_sha256`` digests the ordered ``(row name, target
+value)`` list, so a consumer can tell that two snapshots describe the same
+ordered target list, and reordering or revaluing the targets breaks the digest.
+
+Values sampled inside the optimization loop come off a ``float32`` tensor and
+say so (``precision: "float32"``); the closing ``selected`` snapshot is taken
+from the same ``float64`` path the final diagnostics use
+(``precision: "float64"``). The solver's existing receipt already makes this
+distinction (``selected_loss_float32``), and a snapshot must not quietly imply
+more precision than it has.
+
+The store keeps a ``latest.json`` replaced atomically (temporary file in the
+same directory, ``fsync``, ``os.replace``, parent ``fsync`` — the idiom
+``microcosm.build.logbook_adoption.atomic_write_json`` already uses, reproduced
+here because the calibrate shard may not depend on the build shard) so a
+concurrent dashboard read never sees a partially written document, plus
+write-once history chunks under ``history/`` with a bounded retention whose
+drops are recorded rather than silent.
+
+This module is a leaf: it imports only the standard library and numpy, so
+:mod:`microcosm.calibrate.solve` can import it without a cycle.

Subject: [PATCH 116/255] Measure the snapshot path on synthetic matrices, and
 label it synthetic

#908 asks for representative UK and US size and runtime measurements. This
host is not permitted native microdata, engine runs or uploads, so this
measures what it honestly can: invented target matrices and an invented
seeded frame, at stated dimension points, inside one numeric thread, a
120 s CPU bound and a recorded peak RSS.

What it establishes: emission cost and serialized size are linear in
target count at ~177 bytes per target row; a 10,000-target snapshot is
~1.7 MB; and the returned weights are bitwise equal to the observer-off
run at every cadence.

What it deliberately does not establish: a production cadence default.
The benchmarked solve costs 33 ms, so per-snapshot cost dominates it by
construction and the 19x every-epoch ratio is an artifact of a cheap
solve, not a forecast for a real calibration. The receipt says so, and
the shipped default stays off.

+# microcosm#908 — per-target snapshot cost, SYNTHETIC measurement
+
+**Everything below is synthetic.** The numbers come from invented target
+matrices and an invented seeded frame produced by
+[`908_target_snapshot_bench.py`](908_target_snapshot_bench.py). No native
+microdata was read, no country engine ran, and nothing was uploaded. These are
+**not** US or UK calibration runtimes and **not** upload times. The dimension
+points were chosen to bracket an order of magnitude; they are not measured from
+the real US or UK target registries.
+
+Run 2026-09-12 on macOS 26.6.2 / arm64, one numeric thread, CPU rlimit 120 s,
+peak RSS 0.29 GiB (well inside the 2 GiB cap; macOS refused `RLIMIT_AS`, so the
+script records the limit it actually applied and the peak RSS it reached).
+Machine-readable copy: [`908-target-snapshot-bench-receipt.json`](908-target-snapshot-bench-receipt.json).
+
+## Codec and local-store cost per snapshot, by target count
+
+Build+validate is the full emission cost (`snapshot()` validates what it
+builds). Store write is one immutable history chunk plus the atomic `latest.json`
+replacement plus the index rewrite.
+
+| targets | build+validate (ms) | serialize (ms) | store write (ms) | serialized bytes | bytes/target |
+|--------:|--------------------:|---------------:|-----------------:|-----------------:|-------------:|
+|     500 |                1.69 |           0.51 |             3.39 |           88,602 |        177.2 |
+|   2,000 |                7.35 |           2.04 |            12.42 |          353,872 |        176.9 |
+|   5,000 |               16.64 |           4.91 |            26.37 |          885,576 |        177.1 |
+|  10,000 |               33.19 |           9.83 |            53.05 |        1,771,910 |        177.2 |
+
+Both cost and size are linear in target count at ~177 bytes per target row
+(indent=1, sorted keys). A single 10,000-target snapshot is ~1.7 MB.
+
+## Solver overhead at three cadences
+
+Invented frame: 10,000 households, 100 targets, 300 epochs, seed 0. One
+discarded warm-up run, then best of three timed runs per cadence.
+
+| cadence | best-of-3 (s) | snapshots emitted | chunks retained | retained bytes | weights bitwise equal to observer-off |
+|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|---|
+| observer off      | 0.0326 |   — |   0 |         0 | yes (reference) |
+| bounded, every 25 | 0.0555 |  14 |  14 |   230,903 | yes |
+| every epoch       | 0.6030 | 301 | 256 | 4,214,808 | yes |
+
+The closing loss is identical to all printed digits across all three
+(`2.7968459435242565e-07`), and the returned weight vectors are bitwise equal.
+
+## What this does and does not license
+
+It does establish that emission is linear, that ~177 bytes/target is the wire
+cost, and that turning the observer on does not change the optimizer's result.
+
+It does **not** license a production cadence default. This solve costs 33 ms
+total, so per-snapshot cost dominates it by construction and the 19x
+every-epoch ratio above is an artifact of a trivially cheap solve — a real
+calibration's epoch is far more expensive, so the same absolute per-snapshot
+cost would be a much smaller fraction of it. Choosing the production default
+needs the native UK and US measurements #908 asks for, which this host is not
+permitted to run. The shipped default is therefore *off*; a caller that opts in
+picks its own cadence.
+
+The 5 MiB per-remote-file ceiling in the version-2 staging content policy is a
+separate, unmeasured constraint here: at ~177 bytes/target a single snapshot
+stays well inside it, but an accumulated history does not, which is why the
+store chunks history rather than growing one document.

Subject: [PATCH 118/255] Re-pin only the calibrate parity case's source
 identity
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The graph shard's `calibrate.adam@1` kernel hashes its defining module's
exact source bytes plus its dependency versions, so editing
microcosm.calibrate.solve legitimately moves `implementation_hash` and,
through it, the node key. Two tests read those pins
(test_acceptance_h_parity::test_h1_kernel_parity and
test_graph_serialize::test_generated_parity_graphs_bind_real_kernels_and_direct_bytes);
both were green on origin/main and red here purely on identity.

This updates that one case. `fit.qrf` and `simulate` are untouched — no
blanket re-pin. The regeneration asserted first that graph.json,
inputs.csv and direct.csv come back byte-identical to what is checked in,
so this is an identity update and demonstrably not a numeric change: the
calibrate kernel still produces the same bytes. The pinned dependency
versions (numpy 2.4.6, pandas 3.0.3, scipy 1.17.1, torch 2.12.0) are
unchanged too, so the move is attributable to the source edit alone.

microcosm-graph suite: 456 passed.

+# Retained PUF55 output verification
+
+On September 12, 2026, the PUF55 host gained an in-process checked run handle
+for downstream graph stages. The actual `run_survey_puf55` execution retains
+the handle only after its existing final source, artifact, numerical, and
+complete-population checks. Constructing or copying `SurveyPuf55Run` does not
+issue a handle.
+
+`check_survey_puf55_run(run)` and `run.checked_view()` return a descriptive
+`CheckedSurveyPuf55Run(payload, digest, population)`. Downstream owners must
+retain the original run, check it immediately before consumption, and recheck
+it after their last relevant I/O before returning or exporting a successor.
+A failed public check revokes that handle; restoring fields cannot reissue it.
+The payload and view cannot authorize a reconstructed or copied run.
+
+## Retained checks
+
+The checker reuses the attachment boundary's real financial/source owners,
+source and producer keys, donor resource declaration, source codecs, kernel
+registry, recipient qualification, and receiving support. It reads declared
+artifacts through the existing producer/type/store verifier, borrows the
+boundary again, then checks the output without further external reads.
+
+The output checks preserve original object bindings, the compiled graph,
+manifest JSON, exact attached population and ledger roster, heterogeneous
+manifest contents, and the complete final and independently reconstructed
+populations. Existing physical seals include values and missing backing
+storage, axes, schema, memberships, weights and kinds, design anchors, strata,
+owners, metadata, mass log, and ledger. The retained state holds final output
+and expected populations, rather than all 245 observed node snapshots.
+
+Rechecking does not fit, execute a graph, decode model pickles, or reconstruct
+the canonical donor. It verifies the current ancestry and identities of the
+artifact bytes that actual execution already checked numerically. It still
+performs source, implementation, and store checks; consumers should use it at
+stage boundaries rather than inside calibration iterations.
+
+## Verification and independent review
+
+- Three public-constructor/API controls first failed against the absent API,
+  then passed against the implementation. The original red evidence remains.
+- The first complete invented-source run passed 23 controls. Independent
+  review then reproduced a gap: adding an extra attached Frame or ledger key
+  did not change portable manifest JSON or the old expected-version seals.
+  The checker now requires the exact attachment roster, with separate
+  population and ledger regression cases.
+- The corrected source passed all 25 controls through an actual invented
+  financial19 to PUF245 cold execution and required replay. It used 901.07
+  CPU seconds, 910.28 wall seconds, and 740,917,248 bytes peak RSS. All 985
+  source/owned-file and 15 resource hashes remained unchanged; the guard
+  recorded no unexpected refusals or child processes and one numeric thread.
+- The 12 new test functions were then moved beside the existing host tests
+  without changing their decorated ASTs, any existing function/class AST, or
+  production source. Independent review approved the move. Collection found
+  45 cases, including the 25 new cases, sharing one `composed` fixture
+  definition. The three cheap checks passed again. The combined 45-case suite
+  was collected, not rerun as one full suite.
+- Ruff and the CI test inventory verifier pass. The source repair and test
+  move each received independent review with no remaining actionable finding.
+
+The first post-move guard recorded the expected 45-case collection and three
+passing tests but returned nonzero because two pytest sessions doubled an
+already-denied optional locale metadata probe from 12 to 24. Its evidence
+remains. A new owned run adjusted only that denied-probe reporting ceiling;
+it closed green without allowing the read or changing source or tests.
+
+Frozen production SHA256:
+`5ba34ce40e19cb2bf22f9c9976576f9dc19e92b19a5a5cc1763569df7a40b796`.

+`bf8b53d229a61565337e2ee9766900158b2bde4edc3042c60c52fe09ecdc531f`.
+Corrected 25-case receipt SHA256:
+`e47f4408387fcfab6564f66ad9479c9c1cf32615862b2268ee854ba7781a4553`.

+`016a5defba66ce8d36372e890a000295d82f4825d1e516d477185eaccfc70633`.
+
+## Scope
+
+This is invented-source software acceptance. It grants no native source or
+population admission, calibration acceptance, release eligibility, or
+publication authorization. Graph node and artifact contracts are unchanged.
+The attachment kernel hashes the host module, so this additive change moves
+PUF producer identities on its own source revision. The separately frozen
+d35 native pilot packet and its evidence remain unchanged.

Subject: [PATCH 121/255] Stop the snapshot observer from being able to break
 the run it watches
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Three adversarial review lenses raised 21 findings against the first
draft of this slice; each went to a verifier told to refute it, and 10
survived. All 10 are fixed here, with a regression test each.

The serious ones broke the slice's central promise — that turning the
observer on changes nothing. It could abort a calibration that succeeds
without it, twice over. Compiled row labels are the lossy
f"{name}@{period}", so ("income", 2024) and ("income", "2024") produce
two rows named income@2024; the digest refused duplicates and killed the
run before epoch 1. And a non-finite float32 in-loop estimate raised,
even though the capped loss absorbs it, the float64 closing estimate is
finite, and the unobserved run returns weights. The digest now carries
the row index rather than refusing duplicates, and a non-finite estimate
or target serializes as null with a `non_finite_rows` count, following
diagnostics._finite's "JSON has no NaN" convention.

Two were honesty defects in the closing snapshot: it stamped the closing
epoch on a retained-best iterate whose values came from an earlier one,
and reported best_retained.available=false on a run that had retained and
returned a best. Both now read the selection receipt, and say "retained,
epoch unrecorded" where the closing iterate won rather than inventing an
epoch.

The store could collide across runs sharing a directory (sequences
restart at 1 per observer), prune another run's chunks, or prune the
chunk it had just written. Construction now refuses a populated directory
unless explicitly adopted, a store refuses a second run's snapshots, and
pruning is scoped to the chunks that writer actually wrote.

The aggregate-only scan covered a hand-listed subset of keys and so
missed candidate_id, phase and created_at; it now walks the whole
payload, which also means a key added to the schema later is covered
without anyone remembering to extend a list. Numeric fields are
type-checked, so a stringified number no longer validates.

Identity pins that the solve.py edits move are re-pinned: the graph
shard's calibrate parity case, the spec-engine seed protocol and map
digests plus the regenerated coverage evidence, and the resolved-spec
golden vectors in the loader and pool-tool tests. Each was confirmed to
reproduce the committed value on pristine origin/main under the same
interpreter first, so the drift is attributable to this source edit.
They are computed against this branch's base and will need recomputing
on the merge ref, which has since moved.

calibrate suite: 291 passed. Benchmark re-measured after the fixes.

+## Adversarial review round (same lane, before hand-off)
+
+Three independent review lenses (determinism, label honesty, codec/store)
+raised 21 findings; each was handed to an adversarial verifier told to refute
+it, and 10 survived. All 10 are fixed on this branch, with a regression test
+each:
+
+- Enabling the observer aborted runs that succeed without it, in two ways —
+  duplicate compiled row labels (`row_name` is the lossy `f"{name}@{period}"`,
+  so `("income", 2024)` and `("income", "2024")` collide) and a non-finite
+  float32 in-loop estimate (the capped loss absorbs it and the run returns
+  weights). The digest now carries the row index instead of refusing
+  duplicates, and a non-finite estimate or target serializes as null with a
+  `non_finite_rows` count, following `diagnostics._finite`.
+- The `selected` snapshot stamped the closing epoch on a retained-best
+  iterate, and claimed `best_retained.available: false` on a run that
+  retained and returned a best. Both now read the selection receipt.
+- The store silently collided across runs sharing a directory (sequences
+  restart at 1 per observer) and could prune another run's chunks, or the
+  chunk it had just written. Construction now refuses a populated directory
+  unless explicitly adopted, a store refuses a second run's snapshots, and
+  pruning is scoped to the chunks that writer wrote.
+- The aggregate-only scan covered a hand-listed subset of keys; it now walks
+  the whole payload. Numeric fields are type-checked, so a stringified number
+  no longer validates.
+
+## Source identity re-pins (disclosed)
+
+`microcosm.calibrate.solve` is an attested module: it is in
+`_DIRECT_KERNEL_MODULES` (`spec_engine/seeds.py`) and it defines the graph
+shard's `calibrate.adam@1` kernel. Editing it legitimately moves several
+pinned identities. Each was re-pinned to a value computed from this branch,
+after first confirming with the *same* interpreter that pristine `origin/main`
+reproduces the committed pins exactly — so the drift is attributable to the
+source edit, not to an environment leak:
+
+- `packages/microcosm-graph/tests/fixtures/parity/kernels/calibrate/pins.json`
+  (`implementation_hash`, `node_key`). `fit.qrf` and `simulate` untouched; the
+  regeneration asserted `graph.json`, `inputs.csv` and `direct.csv` come back
+  byte-identical, so the kernel's numbers did not change.
+- `EXPECTED_HASHES["seed_protocol"]` and `["seed_map"]` in
+  `spec_engine/inventory_coverage.py`, plus the regenerated
+  `docs/evidence/spec-engine/us-f0-coverage.json`.
+- The resolved-spec golden vectors in
+  `test_spec_engine_loader.py` and `test_us_multispine_pool_tool.py`.
+
+No other pin was touched.
+
+**These pins are correct for this branch's base (0c3f4f651) only.**
+`origin/main` has since advanced to 116d46ee9 (#912,
+`amend-keyed-seed-and-uniform-draws`), which itself edited the attested
+`microcosm.fit.qrf` and re-pinned the same loader golden vector and pool-tool
+spec digest. Every identity pin above must therefore be recomputed on the
+merge ref before this branch merges, per CLAUDE.md's "CI tests the merge ref,
+so merge main and re-pin". Do not treat the values here as final.

Record the verified 2025 dictionary literals for the pension/annuity, IRA
distribution, net property, farm and other-income families, together with the
printed source-level ambiguities that must stay distinguishable from modeling

+# Current ASEC income reporting/routing source qualifier — lane progress
+
+Branch `current-asec-income-routing-20260912`, worktree
+`_worktrees/microcosm-current-asec-income-routing-20260912`, base
+`d5cbe60b2c6402648565f5139dbf7d94be209def` (reviewed US integration).
+
+Journal, not state. Check git/GitHub for current truth.
+
+## Scope
+
+Deliver a thin **source qualifier** plus a **pure reporting/routing projection**
+for the five original-channel ASEC income families the current graph does not
+yet supply: pension/annuity, IRA distributions, net property income, farm, and
+other income. Consumed later by the already-owned `graph_us_survey_enrichment`
+host, which root's active amount owner owns. This lane creates **no** host, no
+issuer, no engine execution, no native cell writes, no release claim.
+
+## State
+
+- [x] Read the actual-current-graph trace
+      (`_recovered/scratch-backup/893/codex-takeover-20260912/original-tax-graph-gap-source-trace.md`)
+      and confirmed the current host does not call `derive_cps_carried_current_leaves`
+      or the preclone gap-fill.
+- [x] Verified the official 2025 dictionary bytes locally:
+      SHA256 `5cb80973326ef8b625fbaae70d80b0c641ce5d2b3911abd2fb4427abd5908a6f`.
+- [x] Read the accepted UC pattern
+      (`current_asec_unemployment_source.py`, reviewed hash
+      `624c76ae058e7b2a466a017eba348327c94751088d97011d3474cd8314187519`) read-only
+      in the successor worktree; not mutated.
+- [x] Read the in-base siblings `current_social_security_source.py`,
+      `current_asec_demographics.py`, `current_survey_predictors.py`.
+- [x] Extracted every target field's printed literal (length/position/range,
+      verbatim Universe and Values) from the verified dictionary, and
+      cross-checked each against `asec_current_money_domains_v1.json`: exact match
+      on position, length, universe and values for all nine money fields.
+- [ ] Module `current_asec_income_routing_source.py`
+- [ ] Tests `test_us_current_asec_income_routing.py`
+- [ ] Source contract note + changelog fragment
+- [ ] Ruff, CI inventory `--verify`, bounded pytest

Subject: [PATCH 124/255] Close the snapshot metadata, detachment, publication
 and codec findings
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The independent review of the #908 slice reproduced four defects. Each is
closed here at the contract level rather than at the example level.

A closed, typed, bounded aggregate metadata contract replaces the denylist
over arbitrary nested JSON. Every seam the schema has — context, search,
selection and best_retained — is now a flat mapping of string keys to JSON
scalars, bounded in entry count, key length and string length, and
best_retained is a closed {available, epoch, loss} triple. A list is not a
scalar, so a record-level vector has no shape to travel in at any depth, and
a nested payload is refused for the same reason. The shape is the one the
solver already emits; context has no in-tree producer, so it takes the same
flat contract rather than a wider one invented for a caller that does not
exist. The record-level key-name rule is kept on top, because a scalar
household_id is still record-level identity. Identifiers are strings, checked
rather than coerced: str() of a mapping is a perfectly good Python string, and
that is how record content reached a supposedly aggregate-only candidate_id.

Because every supported metadata value is an immutable scalar and every
container in a payload is freshly built, a sink that mutates what it was
handed cannot reach the caller's mapping, the observer, or the next snapshot.
A structural test pins that: a delivered payload shares no mutable object with
the caller's arguments, the observer, the bound view, or the next snapshot.

History chunks are now published, not created and then filled. The bytes go to
a hidden temporary that is written, flushed and fsynced first; only a complete
file takes the immutable history/<sequence>.json name, through os.link, which
is atomic and refuses rather than overwrites. A polling reader can no longer
open a chunk mid-write, and a write that fails part-way publishes nothing and
leaves no temporary behind. Atomic latest.json replacement, run ownership,
duplicate refusal and bounded retention are unchanged.

The public codec now refuses the impossible metadata it used to admit:
created_at that is not a timezone-aware timestamp, a non-string identifier,
an epoch past the stretch it declares, a sequence below its first emission,
non_finite_rows past the row count, a best_retained whose availability, epoch
and loss contradict each other, and a selected snapshot stamped with an epoch
its own selection receipt did not select. The strictness is paired with
normalization at the emitting edge, so the honest nonfinite cases a diverging
run really produces still serialize as explicit nulls and counts: the observer
still cannot abort a calibration that succeeds with snapshots disabled.

+names the version-2 staging content policy refuses on upload (microcosm#896).

+The contract is the shape every real caller already emits:
+:mod:`~microcosm.calibrate.solve` emits ``search`` as
+``{budget_iteration, budget_iters, l0_lambda}``, ``selection`` as the iterate
+selection receipt (``rule``, ``selected_epoch``, ``epochs_executed``,
+``epoch_convention``, ``selected_loss_float32``,
+``closing_iterate_loss_float32``) and ``best_retained`` as the closed triple
+``{available, epoch, loss}``. ``context`` is caller-supplied run labelling and
+has no in-tree producer, so it takes the same flat scalar contract rather than
+a wider one invented for a caller that does not exist.
+
+Because every supported metadata value is an immutable scalar, the mapping the

Subject: [PATCH 125/255] Replay the review's own counterexamples against the
 fix, as evidence

experiments/908_review_findings_recheck.py runs the four reproductions from
the independent review's probe, unchanged, against this branch and asserts
each is closed; its receipt is committed beside it. Invented data only: no
optimizer, engine, network or native input.

 ## Done
 
-- Merged `bae1887ff` into this branch.
+- Merged `bae1887ff` into this branch and recomputed every conflicting
+  identity pin on the merge ref (table below).
+- 14 red regressions in `packages/microcosm-calibrate/tests/test_target_snapshots.py`
+  (9 of them failing on the reviewed head), then the implementation:
+  - **C1** — a closed, typed, bounded aggregate metadata contract
+    (`normalize_metadata`, `normalize_best_retained`, `METADATA_LOCATIONS`,
+    `MAX_METADATA_*`) applied uniformly to `context`, `search`, `selection`
+    and `best_retained`, with string-only identifiers checked rather than
+    coerced. A list is not a scalar, so a record vector has no shape to ride
+    in at any depth. The record-level key-name rule is kept on top, because a
+    *scalar* `household_id` is still record-level identity.
+  - **A1** — every metadata container in a delivered payload is freshly built
+    from immutable scalars, pinned by a structural test asserting the payload
+    shares no mutable object with the caller, the observer, the bound view or
+    the next snapshot.
+  - **A2** — history chunks are written and `fsync`-ed to a hidden temporary
+    and then published atomically with `os.link`, which refuses rather than
+    overwrites an existing immutable chunk. Failed writes clean up their
+    temporary. Atomic `latest.json`, run ownership, duplicate refusal and
+    bounded retention are unchanged.
+  - **A3** — strict public-codec validation of `created_at` (timezone-aware
+    ISO-8601), identifiers, `epoch <= epochs`, `sequence >= 1`,
+    `non_finite_rows <= n_targets`, the closed `best_retained` triple's
+    availability/epoch/loss consistency, and a `selected` snapshot whose epoch
+    contradicts its own selection receipt — paired with normalization at the
+    emitting edge so honest nonfinite values still serialize as explicit nulls
+    and counts and the observer still cannot abort a run.
+- `experiments/908_review_findings_recheck.py` replays the review's own four
+  counterexamples against this branch; receipt in
+  `experiments/908-review-findings-recheck.json`. All four report closed.
+
+## Deliberately narrow choices
+
+- `context` has **no in-tree producer**. Rather than invent a wider shape for a
+  caller that does not exist, it takes the same flat scalar contract as the
+  seams `solve.py` really emits. A caller that needs structure should add a
+  typed seam and extend the contract, in the PR that adds the caller.
+- The metadata bounds (32 entries, 64-character keys, 256-character strings)
+  are the narrowest values that comfortably hold everything `solve.py` emits.
 
 ## Next
 
-- Red regressions for all four findings, then the implementation.
+- Independent re-review by main before integration/PR updates.

Subject: [PATCH 126/255] Pin passive parity on the sparse-selection paths too
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The Adam path already asserted that enabling the observer leaves the returned
weights bitwise unchanged. The L0 selection, budget-search, refit and
proximal paths carry the most metadata for the tightened codec to reject —
search identity, phase labels, selection receipts — so they get the same
parity assertion, plus validation of every snapshot they emit.

Subject: [PATCH 127/255] Qualify current ASEC income reporting and routing
 sources

Project the five original-channel income families the current survey graph
does not supply - pension/annuity, retirement distributions, net property,
farm operations and other income - from the exact retained 2025 ASEC person
member joined to the authenticated current-money owner by native keys.

Separate pension and annuity totals are retained without any private-share
split, retirement account identity is kept distinct from a taxable fraction,
the signed net property and farm totals preserve losses and net-zero receipt,
and the other-income category preserves reported alimony without any residual
rule. Printed universes, unreadable literals and unresolved routing stay
distinguishable from observed values, and published allocation flags are
recorded separately from the fields the dictionary does not flag.

+"""Reporting/routing projection for five current ASEC original income families.
+
+Pension/annuity, retirement distributions, net property income, farm operations
+and other income are the original-channel leaves the current survey graph does
+not yet supply. This module qualifies the exact retained 2025 ASEC person member
+against the authenticated current-money owner and projects the source literals
+those families publish: totals, receipt universes, routing codes and allocation
+provenance.
+
+Nothing here observes a taxable amount. The combined pension total is not split,
+account identity is not a taxable fraction, the net property total is not
+independently labelled rental, farm losses are not nonfarm self-employment, and
+no residual other-income category rule is applied. Returned values are
+descriptive: a consuming host requalifies the retained preparation and compares
+these values before and after its own I/O. This module issues no source
+admission and grants no release eligibility.

+# Conserving survey interest before PUF enrichment
+
+The financial graph now retains the tax-exempt remainder of the same interest
+total used for its taxable component. Previously it attached only the taxable
+part, leaving the original survey support's exempt component unresolved after
+the clone1-only PUF attachment.
+
+The new eighth financial output is `INT_VAL - taxable_interest_income`, computed
+before source-key alignment to both clones. ASEC uses its qualified current
+amount; ACS uses the existing modeled interest total. The original taxable
+calculation and legacy seven-leaf helper are unchanged. The graph's judgment
+metadata identifies the split as an assumption, not separately observed
+taxable and exempt amounts. It does not establish that the modeled ACS interest
+total reconciles to the broader observed ACS property-income aggregate.
+
+Two new numerical controls first reproduced the missing column. After repair,
+all 25 predictor and atomic-financial tests passed in 294.225 seconds, including
+nonconstant and zero-regime invented source runs, source-key permutation,
+conservation and cold/required graph replay.
+
+Three full PUF controls then passed in 617.283 seconds: the actual two-route
+cold/required extension, independent whole-cohort finalizer comparison and
+non-owned storage preservation, and retained checked-parent validation without
+re-execution. The original survey complement remains identical through the
+PUF attachment; clone1 retains its existing PUF ownership. All tests use
+invented sources. No failure, error or skip occurred in either green run.
+
+Independent source review found no actionable defect. Ruff and CI test inventory
+verification pass. The executable source SHA256 is
+`0df64e5f7768b326f43d7b0ac927ccb24c89de8e3d21556a9139628a369b5358`.
+These checks do not certify a native candidate, fiscal calibration or release.
+The running native PUF pilot remains on its earlier frozen source.

+# Repeated source-string hashing
+
+The ASEC source validator now reuses the exact length-prefixed encoding of a
+repeated string within one column's digest calculation. It still visits every
+value and computes a new digest on every validation. The cache holds at most
+1,024 entries and 256 KiB of encoded payload, then stops admitting new entries.
+Only exact Python strings use it; other scalar families retain the original
+codec. Dtype metadata, null sentinels, row order and all digest bytes retain
+their prior meaning.
+
+Thirty invented-source tests pass, including eleven added byte-stream parity
+and later-mutation controls. They cover Python and Arrow strings, distinct
+Unicode encodings, nulls, more than 1,024 distinct values, strings exceeding the
+payload budget, and the unchanged bytes, boolean, integer and floating object
+paths. The suite took 1.860 seconds, with no failures, errors or skips.
+
+The [benchmark receipt](us-source-string-seal-20260912.json) compares the exact
+pre-change function from `d5cbe60b2` with the new implementation. Each row reports
+the median of three process-CPU measurements on invented columns:
+
+| Column | Rows | Before | After | Ratio |
+| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |
+| Repeated Python strings | 500,000 | 0.15536 s | 0.02525 s | 6.15× faster |
+| Repeated Arrow strings | 500,000 | 0.15287 s | 0.02783 s | 5.49× faster |
+| Unique source keys | 100,000 | 0.03178 s | 0.03552 s | 12% slower |
+| Integer control | 500,000 | 0.00135 s | 0.00133 s | Approximately unchanged |
+
+All four complete digests match exactly. These measurements do not establish
+native build speed or quality. Source-file identity changes because executable
+code changed; an old graph receipt is not acceptance of the new implementation.
+The active native PUF pilot retains its original frozen source.

Subject: [PATCH 130/255] Make a validated snapshot a snapshot that serializes
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The metadata contract had one edge doing two jobs. At the emitting edge a
numpy scalar and a non-finite float must be absorbed, or the observer becomes
the thing that ends a diverging run; in the public codec they must be refused,
or json.dumps fails on a payload the codec has already blessed and the caller
gets a bare ValueError instead of a TargetSnapshotError. normalize_metadata
and normalize_best_retained now take that split explicitly, and the validator
uses the strict edge — which also makes the closed best_retained triple
complete rather than defaulted when it is being validated rather than built.

Subject: [PATCH 134/255] Read printed money entries from the pinned domains
 artifact

Three source-fidelity corrections found by independent review of the first
draft:

The authenticated money owner normalizes ANN_VAL's printed -1 to a stored zero
and records DECLARED_NIU on its status axis, so re-deriving NIU from the stored
number would have read that cell as a zero dollar annuity. The amount reading
now comes from the parent's own status axis.

The nine printed money entries are already attested per vintage in the packaged
current-money domains artifact, so they are read from it under its pinned
digest instead of being retyped, and the printed universes now carry the
dictionary's own U+2265 rather than an ASCII rewrite.

The published-allocation roster claimed six fields were unflagged that the
dictionary does flag. Only PNSN_VAL, FRSE_VAL, FRSE_YN, OI_OFF and the four
under-58 distribution variants lack one; the composite source-code flag's
coverage of the under-58 route is recorded as unresolved.

Adds the first invented-source integration tests joining a privately pinned
member to the real preparation.

+# Calibration target snapshots
+
+An opt-in observer exposes target estimates already computed during an Adam
+solve. It also records the estimates on the weights actually returned. Use it
+to inspect fit over time without adding another model evaluation or changing
+the optimization steps.
+
+```python
+from pathlib import Path
+
+from microcosm.calibrate import (
+    TargetSnapshotCadence,
+    TargetSnapshotObserver,
+    TargetSnapshotWriter,
+    calibrate,
+)
+
+observer = TargetSnapshotObserver(
+    sink=TargetSnapshotWriter(Path("runs/example/targets"), history_limit=256),
+    run_id="example",
+    cadence=TargetSnapshotCadence(every=25),
+)
+result = calibrate(frame, targets, method="adam", target_snapshots=observer)
+```
+
+The caller supplies its existing frame and targets. No observer is enabled by
+default. The example cadence is a caller choice, not a measured country-build
+default. A sink exception propagates, matching the existing progress callback.
+
+Each snapshot has an ordered target identity, target values, achieved estimates,
+relative errors, sequence, phase and iterate labels. Duplicate target names
+remain distinguishable by ordered position. Honest nonfinite intermediate
+estimates are represented by nulls and counts. Intermediate float32 estimates
+and final float64 estimates are labeled with their actual iterate semantics.
+Budget probes and subsequent selection/refit phases share one emission sequence.
+
+Metadata accepts bounded flat scalar mappings and checked string identifiers;
+it does not accept nested payloads or record vectors. `best_retained` must be a
+complete `{available, epoch, loss}` mapping in a serialized snapshot. The emitter
+can fill that mapping when no best iterate exists; the public validator rejects
+a serialized null in its place. Each delivered payload is detached from the
+caller's metadata and subsequent snapshots.
+
+The local writer atomically replaces `latest.json`. History chunks become
+visible only after their complete bytes are written and synced, and an existing
+chunk cannot be overwritten. Retention and dropped-history counts are explicit.
+Use a fresh run directory unless intentionally adopting existing history.
+
+This implements the solver and local storage portion of
+[issue 908](https://github.com/PolicyEngine/microcosm/issues/908). Country-host
+wiring, staging upload, a dashboard consumer and native cadence/performance
+acceptance remain separate work. The grouped US solver currently lives on the
+launch integration branch and needs its own integration of this observer.
+
+The reviewed repair branch passed 307 calibration tests before the final strict
+null correction. All 52 snapshot tests then passed after that one-line correction,
+including passive solver parity tests. Independent review closed the metadata,
+detachment, partial-publication and codec findings. See the
+[invented benchmark evidence](../experiments/908-target-snapshot-bench-receipts.md)
+for overhead measurements; those are not native US or UK benchmarks.

Subject: [PATCH 137/255] Cover the income routing qualifier with
 invented-source regressions

Adds the pure reporting/routing regression table, the bounded member reader
refusals, the money literal join including ANN_VAL's normalized NIU zero, the
pinned domains-artifact agreement, row-order invariance, changed-bytes and
wrong-pin refusals, row-for-row parent correspondence, repeated-qualification
stability, and source-only portability.

The published allocation roster gains OI_YN: the dictionary publishes only
I_OIVAL for that family, so the other-income receipt literal carries no
allocation evidence either.

Subject: [PATCH 138/255] Document the current ASEC income routing source
 contract

Record what the qualifier establishes, the reporting status vocabulary, the
printed source-level questions preserved as evidence, the allocation
provenance classes, where the constants come from, and the ACS and canonical
attachment decisions that remain open.

+# Current ASEC income reporting and routing source
+
+`microcosm.build.us_runtime.current_asec_income_routing_source` qualifies the
+exact retained 2025 ASEC person member against the authenticated current-money
+owner and projects five original-channel income families the current survey
+graph does not yet supply:
+
+| Family | Printed amounts | Printed receipt / routing |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `pension_annuity` | `PNSN_VAL`, `ANN_VAL` | `PEN_YN`, `ANN_YN` |
+| `retirement_distribution` | `DST_VAL1`, `DST_VAL1_YNG`, `DST_VAL2`, `DST_VAL2_YNG` | `DST_YN`, `DST_YN_YNG`, `DST_SC1`, `DST_SC1_YNG`, `DST_SC2`, `DST_SC2_YNG` |
+| `net_property` | `RNT_VAL` | `RNT_YN` |
+| `farm` | `FRSE_VAL` | `FRSE_YN`, `ERN_YN`, `FRMOTR` |
+| `other_income` | `OI_VAL` | `OI_YN`, `OI_OFF` |
+
+Thirteen published allocation flags are read alongside them.
+
+`qualify_current_asec_income_routing(preparation)` takes a live
+`AuthenticatedSurveyPopulationPreparation`, requalifies it, captures the pinned
+2024 member once, joins it to the money parent by exact native keys, and returns
+`CurrentAsecIncomeRoutingValues(person, asec_literals, evidence)`. The returned
+values are descriptive transport. Constructing or mutating them issues no source
+authority: a consuming host re-runs this qualifier and compares the result
+around its own I/O, exactly as the accepted unemployment qualifier requires.
+
+## What the qualifier establishes
+
+- **The exact source member.** The 2024 pin is matched against the retained
+  native coverage receipt (member name, archive digest, member digest, row count
+  and byte size) before the capture, and the captured file's stat identity and
+  SHA-256 are re-checked after it.
+- **Row-for-row parent correspondence.** `PH_SEQ`, `A_LINENO` and `A_AGE` from
+  the member must equal the money parent's `source_household_id`, `A_LINENO` and
+  `A_AGE` at the 2024 scope positions. The join is by native key, so member row
+  order cannot change the projection.
+- **Literal/amount identity.** Every projected amount is the money owner's own
+  value, checked against the member literal, with the parent's `statuses`,
+  `validity` and `zero_origin` carried through as `amount_status_*`,
+  `amount_validity_*` and `zero_origin_*` columns.
+- **A single bounded pass.** One capture, one read, one projection. There is no
+  per-family re-capture, no nested run issuer, and no PUF borrow.
+
+## What it deliberately does not establish
+
+- `PNSN_VAL` is printed as the *total combined amount of pension income received
+  from all pension sources* — `PEN_SC1`/`PEN_SC2` enumerate company, union,
+  federal, state, local, military and railroad pensions. It is not an observed
+  private or taxable amount. The archived `TAXABLE_PENSION_FRACTION = 0.590`
+  split is a modelled assumption and is not applied or referenced here;
+  `pension_annuity_private_share_applied` and
+  `pension_annuity_taxable_amount_known` are constant `False`.
+- Account code 4 is `Regular IRA`. That identity does not observe any taxable
+  fraction, so `retirement_distribution_taxable_amount_known` is constant
+  `False` and no taxable component is derived.
+- `RNT_YN` asks about land, property rented to others, royalties, roomers or
+  boarders, and estates or trusts, while `RNT_VAL` asks only about *income from
+  rent after expenses*. Both scopes are carried on every row and
+  `net_property_component_split_known` is constant `False`, so the total is not
+  independently labelled rental and no subdivision is separately modelled.
+- `FRSE_VAL` is farm self-employment, not nonfarm `SEMP_VAL`;
+  `farm_is_nonfarm_self_employment` is constant `False`.
+- `OI_OFF` code 20 is the reported alimony category. Nothing maps any other
+  code — including 19, `anything else` — onto alimony or onto a miscellaneous
+  residual; `other_income_residual_rule_applied` is constant `False`.
+- ACS-channel people are not projected at all. `acs_components_modeled` is
+  `False` in the evidence and the projection covers only ASEC-channel rows.
+
+## Reporting status vocabulary
+
+`receipt_status` is the single classifier. Only `known_receipt`,
+`receipt_with_net_zero` and `known_nonreceipt` establish a dollar reading
+(`KNOWN_AMOUNT_STATUSES`); every other status leaves the canonical amount
+unknown rather than completing it with zero.
+
+| Status | Meaning |
+| --- | --- |
+| `known_receipt` | in universe, receipt yes, amount non-zero (a signed loss included) |
+| `receipt_with_net_zero` | in universe, receipt yes, amount zero on a signed net measure (`RNT_VAL`, `FRSE_VAL`) |
+| `ambiguous_recipient_zero` | in universe, receipt yes, amount zero on a gross entry whose printed zero reads "none or niu" |
+| `known_nonreceipt` | in universe, receipt no, amount zero |
+| `niu` | in universe, receipt 0, amount zero or a declared non-money code |
+| `missing_amount` / `missing_receipt_literal` | one side of the pair is absent |
+| `unrecognized_receipt_literal` | the receipt literal is malformed or outside the printed range |
+| `contradictory_no_nonzero`, `contradictory_niu_nonzero`, `contradictory_declared_niu_amount`, `contradictory_outside_reporting_universe` | retained source contradictions, excluded from every canonical amount |
+| `outside_reporting_universe` | the printed universe excludes the row and the literals agree |
+| `unresolved_reporting_universe` | the printed universe cannot be resolved from the retained literals |
+
+Universes are per family and never reduced to age alone. `PEN_YN`, `ANN_YN`,
+`RNT_YN` and `OI_YN` print `All Persons aged 15+`. `FRSE_YN` prints
+`ERN_YN=1 or FRMOTR=1`, so the farm universe is `True` when either literal is
+`1`, `False` when both are known and neither is, and unresolved otherwise —
+a nonfiler is never treated as a non-recipient.
+
+## Source-level questions preserved as evidence
+
+These are printed-dictionary facts, kept distinguishable from modelling
+judgments and recorded verbatim under
+`evidence["dictionary"]["printed_universe_questions"]`:
+
+- `DST_VAL1`'s printed universe is `DST_SC1 = 1` although its label names the
+  source-1 distribution amount; taken literally that would restrict it to 401k
+  accounts. Retained verbatim, not silently corrected.
+- `DST_SC2_YNG`'s printed universe names `DST_VAL_YNG`, a field with no
+  dictionary entry.
+- `I_DSTVAL1COMP`'s printed `Universe:` line is empty.
+- `DST_YN` and `DST_YN_YNG` print only the age-58 split and, unlike every other
+  family in this slice, do not print the 15+ floor. Coverage below age 15 is
+  therefore recorded as unresolved rather than resolved either way.
+- `OI_YN`'s printed zero label is `none or niu` where `PEN_YN`, `ANN_YN`,
+  `DST_YN` and `RNT_YN` print `niu`, so a zero receipt literal is not
+  interchangeable across families.
+- `DST_SC1` is gated on `DST_VAL1 > 0 and a_age ≥ 58` while `DST_SC1_YNG` is
+  gated on `DST_YN_YNG = 1 and a_age < 58` — the two routes are not symmetric.
+
+## Amount semantics from the money owner
+
+The authenticated money owner normalizes `ANN_VAL`'s printed `-1` to a stored
+zero and records `CodebookStatus.DECLARED_NIU`. `amount_state` therefore reads
+the dollar meaning of a cell from the parent's status axis, never from the
+stored number: re-deriving NIU from the number would read that cell as a zero
+dollar annuity. `evidence["declared_niu_normalized_to_zero"]` lists the affected
+entries.
+
+The money owner restates non-2024 cohorts to the pinned price basis, so the
+literal-identity join is taken only on `person_years == 2024`; widening it to
+the pooled 2022/2023 cohorts would require handling that restatement first.
+`evidence["restatement_note"]` records this.
+
+## Allocation provenance
+
+`*_allocation_origin` is derived from published flags only:
+
+- `publisher_allocated` — some applicable flag is non-zero.
+- `publisher_no_allocation` — every applicable flag is populated and zero, and
+  every field in the family carries a published flag.
+- `publisher_no_allocation_on_published_flags_only` — the same, but the family
+  also holds a field the dictionary does not flag.
+- `allocation_flag_not_populated` — a flag literal is absent. Every flag here
+  prints a conditional universe, so this is not a defect and not "no
+  allocation".
+- `unresolved_allocation_provenance` — a flag literal is malformed or outside
+  its printed range.
+
+`PUBLISHED_ALLOCATION_FLAG_BY_FIELD` names which flag covers which field.
+`UNFLAGGED_FIELDS` records the nine fields for which the 2025 dictionary
+publishes no flag: `PNSN_VAL`, `FRSE_VAL`, `FRSE_YN`, `OI_OFF`, `OI_YN`,
+`DST_VAL1_YNG`, `DST_VAL2_YNG`, `DST_YN_YNG`, `DST_SC1_YNG`, `DST_SC2_YNG`.
+`AMBIGUOUS_FLAG_COVERAGE` records that `I_DSTSCCOMP`'s label names `DST_SC(2)`
+while its universe names both routes, so its coverage of the under-58 source
+codes is unresolved. No row is ever labelled a raw respondent value.
+
+## Constants
+
+The nine printed money entries are **not** retyped here: they are read on demand
+from the packaged `asec_current_money_domains_v1.json` under its pinned digest
+(`money.RESOURCE_PINS[0]`), which already attests printed position, length,
+page, range, universe and values per vintage. The routing code systems
+(`RECEIPT_CODES`, `ACCOUNT_CODES`, `OTHER_INCOME_CATEGORIES`,
+`ALLOCATION_ENTRIES`) are not in that artifact and are defined here from the
+pinned dictionary.
+
+Two adjacent definitions exist in tree and are deliberately **not** imported, so
+this qualifier keeps the accepted source-only import neighbourhood
+(`asec_coverage_authentication`, `asec_current_money`, `source_csv_builtin`,
+`survey_population_preparation`, `support_provenance`) and stays free of the
+modelled stage machinery:
+
+- `retirement_distributions.US_RETIREMENT_DISTRIBUTION_REQUIRED_SOURCE_COLUMNS`
+  — the same eight `DST_SC*`/`DST_VAL*` column names.
+- `alimony._ASEC_ALIMONY_OTHER_INCOME_CODE` — the same category code 20.
+
+`test_routing_code_systems_agree_with_the_existing_domain_constants` asserts
+both agreements, per `docs/shared-constants.md` rule 5. If a later change makes
+the modelled modules importable from a source qualifier, import those
+definitions directly and drop the local copies.
+
+`RINT_SC1`/`RINT_SC2` reuse the identical 0:7 retirement-account enumeration for
+retirement *interest*. They are out of this slice; a future consumer mapping
+account codes to outputs must decide whether they share this code system.
+
+## Remaining work
+
+This lane delivers source qualification only. Still open, and explicitly not
+decided here:
+
+1. **Canonical attachment.** Which projected columns become graph leaves, on
+   which clone, and under what name. These families overlap PUF-owned values, so
+   the unemployment/health both-clone policy cannot simply be reused. Root's
+   active amount owner owns `graph_us_survey_enrichment`.
+2. **ACS clone0 components.** ACS publishes aggregate anchors
+   (`acs_retirement_income`, `acs_interest_dividend_rental_income`) rather than
+   these components. A conditional model plus a documented reconciliation rule
+   is needed, and the existing interest/dividend draws and ACS `INTP` overlap
+   mean rent cannot be added independently without checking that aggregate.
+3. **Tax composition.** The pension private/taxable split and the distribution
+   taxable fraction remain unobserved. Any split must be approved explicitly
+   against the source, not inherited from the archived assumptions.
+4. **Net property decomposition.** The receipt/amount scope mismatch must be
+   resolved before rent, royalties, roomers/boarders and estate/trust income are
+   modelled as separate components.
+5. **Other-income residual.** Categories other than 20 are preserved but
+   unrouted; a residual-to-miscellaneous rule is a separate, reviewed decision.

+## Corrections made after independent review of the first draft
+
+1. The money owner normalizes `ANN_VAL`'s printed `-1` to a stored zero and
+   records `DECLARED_NIU` (`asec_current_money.py:974-977`). The first draft
+   re-derived NIU from the stored number, which would have read that cell as a
+   zero dollar annuity and also failed the literal-identity join. The amount
+   reading now comes from the parent's status axis.
+2. The nine printed money entries were retyped by hand; they are already
+   attested per vintage in `asec_current_money_domains_v1.json`. They are now
+   read from that packaged artifact under `money.RESOURCE_PINS[0]`.
+3. The published-allocation roster wrongly listed `DST_VAL1`, `DST_VAL2`,
+   `DST_YN`, `DST_SC1`, `DST_SC2` and `FRMOTR` as unflagged; all six are
+   flagged. `OI_YN` is unflagged and was missing from the list.
+4. Three printed universes were transcribed with ASCII `>=` where the
+   dictionary prints U+2265; they now carry the printed character.

Subject: [PATCH 140/255] Retain both distribution recipiency literals with the
 age route

The age route selects which of DST_YN and DST_YN_YNG applies, but an answered
off-route recipiency is a source contradiction rather than a missing answer.
Keep both literals as typed columns and flag an off-route answer beside the
existing off-route amount flag, so the complete slot and receipt pattern stays
inspectable.

Subject: [PATCH 142/255] Emit target snapshots from the grouped Adam solver

The merge alone left grouped runs uninstrumented: _optimize returns early into
_optimize_grouped before reaching any of the snapshot hooks the ordinary Adam
loop carries, so a caller passing target_snapshots to a grouped calibrate got
exactly one closing snapshot and no trajectory.

Forward the bound observer into _optimize_grouped and emit there, after the
existing progress callback and before backward(), from the exact float32
estimate tensor the epoch's loss was already computed from. No _apply_constraint
call, no problem.estimates call, no gated draw and no optimizer/projection step
is added or moved, so a grouped run's returned weights, trajectory and RNG state
are bit-identical with the observer on and off.

Grouped Adam is a closing-state algorithm, so every grouped snapshot reports
best_retained {available: false, epoch: null, loss: null} and the closing
snapshot is stamped epoch == epochs. Retain-best detection at the final emitter
is now read off the solver actually used rather than inferred from an empty
iterate_selection_receipt, so a later change that populated a grouped receipt
cannot make the reused emitter claim the grouped solver retained a best iterate.
The receipt itself stays empty, as before.

Grouped snapshots carry three bounded aggregate scalars in `selection` (rule,
constraint_mode, grouped_preserve_zeros) mirroring options["iterate_selection"],
because "this solver retains no best iterate" and "retain-best was switched off"
are otherwise indistinguishable to a consumer. The private
_post_projection_observer proof seam is untouched and stays entirely separate:
its record-length weights, household IDs, group map and bound vector never reach
a snapshot.

The closing snapshot still runs before the stored-result admission, so the
accepted-weight byte equality, fixed-zero and ordered-household-ID checks remain
the last thing that happens.

+## The grouped US solver
+
+The grouped/fixed-zero Adam path (`grouped_upper_bounds`, optionally
+`grouped_preserve_zeros`) is instrumented at the same two seams and with the
+same guarantees: the in-loop snapshot reads the exact float32 estimate tensor
+the epoch's loss was computed from, and the closing `selected` snapshot reads
+the same float64 `problem.estimates` the final diagnostics use. Enabling the
+observer on a grouped run adds no matrix evaluation, no model evaluation and no
+RNG advance, and returns bit-identical weights and trajectory.
+
+Two grouped specifics a consumer must read correctly:
+
+- Grouped Adam is a **closing-state** algorithm. It never runs the retain-best
+  rule, so every grouped snapshot carries
+  `best_retained = {"available": false, "epoch": null, "loss": null}` and the
+  closing snapshot is stamped `epoch == epochs`. That is not the same as an
+  ordinary run whose retain-best rule was switched off, so grouped snapshots
+  also carry bounded `selection` labels — `rule: "closing_state"`,
+  `constraint_mode: "grouped_upper_bounds"` and `grouped_preserve_zeros` —
+  which mirror the run's `options["iterate_selection"]`.
+- In-loop snapshots are **pre-update loss evaluations**, the same convention the
+  ungrouped Adam loop uses. They are deliberately not the post-update projected
+  accepted vector that the private `_post_projection_observer` proof seam
+  reports at the same epoch number: those are different vectors, and producing
+  target totals for the accepted one would require an extra matrix evaluation.
+  That private seam carries record-length weights, household IDs, the group map
+  and the absolute-bound vector; none of it reaches a snapshot, and the public
+  codec rejects record-level key names outright.
+
+Grouped runs keep every existing guard: fixed zeros stay in full-population
+coordinates, the accepted-weight byte equality and ordered-household-ID checks
+still run *after* the closing snapshot sink, and the unsupported grouped modes
+(scalar cap, conserved mass, prox, L0/exact-k, gate initialization) are still
+refused before the optimizer is constructed. Snapshot support does not turn any
+of them into a permitted numeric path.
+
 This implements the solver and local storage portion of
 [issue 908](https://github.com/PolicyEngine/microcosm/issues/908). Country-host
 wiring, staging upload, a dashboard consumer and native cadence/performance
-acceptance remain separate work. The grouped US solver currently lives on the
-launch integration branch and needs its own integration of this observer.
+acceptance remain separate work. In particular
+`us_runtime/graph_fiscal_dense_calibration.py` still calls `calibrate` without
+an observer: a solver-side integration alone produces no snapshot files for
+that path, and wiring it needs an explicit host-owned instrumentation seam
+rather than a callback or filesystem path serialized into graph node params.
 
 The reviewed repair branch passed 307 calibration tests before the final strict
 null correction. All 52 snapshot tests then passed after that one-line correction,

Subject: [PATCH 143/255] Separate an unresolved other-income receipt from a
 reported category

A printed category alongside a missing or unrecognized OI_YN literal was
labelled a reported category, which let a row with an unreadable receipt read
as reported alimony. That pair is now its own unresolved routing status and no
longer sets the alimony flag.

+# Qualifying observed ACS income anchors
+
+`qualify_current_acs_income_anchors` reads the original ACS person archive through
+the retained survey preparation owner. It returns the selected ACS people's
+original `INTP`, `RETP`, `ADJINC`, `AGEP`, `FINTP`, and `FRETP` literals, joined by
+the original `SERIALNO` and normalized `SPORDER`. Household serial numbers are
+checked through the native person's household link. The selected native person
+axis and the preparation's stacked person axis remain explicit.
+
+These are broad survey anchors. They are not separately observed tax inputs.
+
+| Anchor | Source meaning | Qualification |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `INTP` | Interest, dividends, net rental, royalty, estate and trust income over the preceding 12 months | Preserve signed values, published zero, blank and malformed literals separately. |
+| `RETP` | Broad retirement, survivor and disability income over the preceding 12 months, excluding Social Security | Preserve the nonnegative source amount without choosing a pension or retirement-account decomposition. |
+| `ADJINC` | Factor for expressing income in the release's dollar year | Match the mapper's multiplication and division order and every retained nonmissing float64 bit. This adjustment does not convert the rolling reference period into a calendar year. |
+| `AGEP` | Original source age | Use the original age for the age-15 income universe, before any downstream top-code mapping. |
+| `FINTP`, `FRETP` | Allocation flags | Keep allocation separate from amount validity. A valid allocated amount remains known and explicitly labeled. |
+
+The [2024 ACS questionnaire, question 43](https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/acs/methodology/questionnaires/2024/quest24.pdf),
+[2024 PUMS dictionary](https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/acs/tech_docs/pums/data_dict/PUMS_Data_Dictionary_2024.pdf)
+(printed pages 38, 43, 127 and 129), and
+[2024 subject definitions](https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/acs/tech_docs/subject_definitions/2024_ACSSubjectDefinitions.pdf)
+establish these meanings. The released INTP domain contains zero, -10,000 through
+-4, and 4 through 999,999; RETP contains zero and 4 through 999,999. Those disclosure
+bounds describe released records, not bounds on latent income.
+
+The output distinguishes observed, missing, malformed, outside-domain, invalid
+adjustment, and outside-universe records. It supplies no analytical zero for an
+under-15 person or for an adult with a blank amount. The original literal survives
+every classification, including missing or unrecognized allocation flags. Numeric
+coercion reproduces the existing source mapper only for the retained-storage
+comparison; it never supplies observation knownness.
+
+The qualifier exhausts a privately captured archive, checks its recorded hash and
+complete source row count, and compares selected raw fields and adjusted anchors
+to the retained native frame. After capture cleanup, it rechecks the actual
+preparation and catalogue owners. A final physical seal also detects mutations
+that table JSON's decimal precision cannot represent. Returned values, projection
+bytes and evidence are descriptive: they cannot replace the original preparation
+or grant source authority. A consuming graph host must retain that owner and the
+physical value seal, check them immediately before consumption, and requalify
+after its last relevant I/O before returning a successor.
+
+The 35-case invented-source suite passed with no failures, errors or skips in
+56.261 seconds wall time (55.239 CPU seconds; 487,407,616 bytes peak RSS). It covers
+the real preparation issuer, household and group-quarter records, selected-row
+reordering and ID changes, signed and missing amounts, allocation states, exact
+adjustment bits, a copied preparation, source mutation after capture I/O, and a
+returned amount mutation hidden by JSON precision. The guarded run used 982
+source files and 15 allowed resources, with all 990 source-plus-owned hashes and
+all resource hashes unchanged, no children, no unexpected refusals, and Torch
+threads fixed at 1/1. The normal guard-induced dateutil zoneinfo warning occurred.
+
+The source SHA256 is
+`94cb447fe209e8b801cd6080151a93c80bfb06bb736b068affb44d9d595c50a2`;
+the test SHA256 is
+`9bffafce6cdf04d63940e15052306037e0bee31049996ec561d46d8cb9e1a2bc`.
+The local `codex-acs-income-anchor-20260912/source-v4/source-v4.json` receipt SHA256
+is `9154b624cf98def81bcf84fb814faf72d4a866d29243eacbeef12a6607c737b6`.
+Earlier failed and superseded fixture evidence remains preserved.
+
+This change does not fit or reconcile components, add an enrichment host, choose
+between ASEC interest definitions, or resolve the retirement donor bridge. It
+does not execute native microdata, a country engine or a model. Those steps need
+their own source and graph acceptance before this qualification can support a
+release candidate.

+# Deterministic reconciliation to a signed income total
+
+`microcosm.fit.signed_reconciliation.reconcile_signed_total` projects a joint
+draw onto a caller-qualified total. It is a separate numeric operation for a
+future graph node. No existing model, source qualifier, financial attachment,
+PUF host or native candidate invokes it in this change.
+
+For draw `q`, anchor `A`, strictly positive scales `s`, and a declared set `B` of
+nonnegative components, it solves the strictly convex problem
+
+```text
+minimize  sum_j ((z_j - q_j) / s_j)^2
+subject to sum_j z_j = A
+           z_j >= 0 for j in B
+```
+
+At least one component must remain unrestricted, making every finite signed
+anchor feasible in exact arithmetic. Component names, the bound mask and scales
+are explicit parameters. Ordinary interest and retirement-account interest can
+therefore be separate components; this operator assigns neither a source meaning
+nor tax treatment to either. It introduces no nonzero-presence restriction.
+
+Define `w_j = (s_j / max(s))^2`. Uniform scale normalization preserves the
+minimizer. Given an active bound set `C`, the equality solution for the remaining
+free coordinates `F` is
+
+```text
+t = (A - sum_{j in F} q_j) / sum_{j in F} w_j
+z_j = q_j + t*w_j  for j in F
+z_j = 0            for j in C
+```
+
+Start with every coordinate free. Fix any bounded coordinate with a negative
+candidate to zero, then solve again. Removing negative candidates can only lower
+`t`, so a fixed coordinate cannot need releasing later. An unrestricted
+coordinate always remains free. The algorithm therefore terminates after at
+most `len(B) + 1` solves, without a general optimizer or random draws. The final
+free-coordinate stationarity and active-bound dual feasibility are checked.
+
+The signed anchor is never clamped or used as a divisor. A zero total does not
+force its components to zero. For example, `[8, 4, -3]` with unit scales and a
+zero anchor becomes `[5, 1, -6]`. Positive income and offsetting property loss
+remain possible for negative, zero or positive totals. An exactly feasible draw
+is preserved, including its float64 signed-zero bits.
+
+Draws have shape `(..., k)` and anchors have exactly the batch shape `(...)`.
+Scales and the boolean bound mask each have shape `(k,)`; broadcasting an anchor
+across records is deliberately not implicit. Empty batches are supported.
+Inputs are finite real numeric values converted into detached float64 arrays.
+The result preserves the raw draw, anchor, component roster and scales, together
+with projected values, adjustment vectors, signed sum residuals, active bounds,
+normalized shifts, objectives and KKT diagnostics. These arrays are descriptive,
+mutable values, not an authority or immutable execution receipt.
+
+Callers must supply finite nonnegative `atol` and `rtol`. The sum check uses
+`abs(residual) <= atol + rtol*abs(A)`. Component stationarity and dual checks use
+the same form with the maximum absolute draw, result and proposed adjustment.
+The sum uses `math.fsum`; no residual is patched into a final component and no
+display rounding changes the optimum. Nonfinite input, intermediate or objective
+overflow, a normalized scale weight lost to underflow, or failure of the stated
+tolerances causes refusal. Floating-point refusal is possible even when an
+exact-arithmetic solution exists.
+
+The 45-case guarded suite passed with zero failures/errors/skips in 4.470 seconds
+wall time, 2.899 CPU seconds and 405,143,552 bytes peak RSS. This includes 160
+randomized small problems compared against an independent oracle that enumerates
+bound faces, solves dense block KKT systems and selects the minimum objective.
+It also verifies negative and zero-net totals, loss offsets, unequal scales,
+scale-rescaling invariance, active bounds, exact feasible identity, detached
+storage, alternate component rosters, multidimensional and empty batches, invalid
+inputs and unstable arithmetic. All 990 source-plus-owned hashes and 15 allowed
+resource hashes were unchanged; no child or unexpected refusal occurred. The
+normal guard-induced dateutil zoneinfo warning occurred.
+
+Production source SHA256:
+`d56c21959121cc7500f06cd747c74bea51561deba537ce2c58266d5966ae84b2`.
+Test SHA256: `b5ee23c6ff4f633434c96a9e17c8b82b254435757b6eb24061b1835f57bdaa77`.
+The local `codex-signed-reconciliation-20260912/numeric-v2/numeric-v2.json` receipt
+SHA256 is `2f071f5116489c1febb4f594c97781c9b8d88d68cf125e94aec446d80e7c3321`.
+The earlier guard preflight failure is preserved; it executed no numeric tests.
+
+This numerical acceptance does not establish ACS/ASEC measurement equivalence,
+resolve the property or retirement donor bridge, approve scale choices, fit a
+model, or certify a release. Source qualification, donor definitions, a named
+reconciliation node and dependent model replay remain separate work.

Subject: [PATCH 146/255] Correct four printed-dictionary claims found by
 adversarial review

I_FRMYN prints an empty Values block, so its codes were wrongly described as
following I_ANNVAL; it is now accepted on its printed (0:9) range header alone
and the missing value list is recorded as a printed ambiguity, alongside the
DST_SC(2) notation that I_DSTSC shares with I_DSTSCCOMP.

FARM_AMOUNT_SCOPE dropped the printed composite clause naming ERN_VAL and
FRM_VAL, so it is no longer the complete printed label it claimed to be.

The distribution universes were said to lack the 15+ floor that every other
family prints; the farm family prints no age floor at all, being gated on
ERN_YN and FRMOTR instead.

Printed question scopes and code labels were stored under a key naming printed
universes, and the NIU normalization list was documented at a path it did not
occupy. Both now sit where the contract note says they do.

Subject: [PATCH 147/255] Recompute the source-derived identities the merged
 solver moves

solve.py is an attested kernel module (_DIRECT_KERNEL_MODULES at
spec_engine/seeds.py), so editing it moves the seed protocol digest, every
resolved-spec digest that folds it in, and the calibrate kernel's
implementation hash. Both branches pinned their own tree's values; neither
describes this one, so every value here is recomputed against the merged
checkout with the isolated 3.14 interpreter, not chosen ours/theirs.

  seed_protocol  7c67a5a3 (G) / d052fd87 (S) -> 57e21b6522cfccc9b2d5e725503d9d39255abe5d5c9b391563d08ee664dea988
  seed_map       be2d24ad (G) / d5a9694a (S) -> 4ae2a0634e3a92061beba5bf5059db7c30b4ff6f1898e639697d246cb7e73878
  us spec        f03e4d08 (G) / ff2c9703 (S) -> 15e61194b4077de58272b14d83af95f7f54427aeab251429ada3cda01d93cbc8
  loader golden  77f043a1 (G) / 8a240898 (S) -> 3868d14d5df04b5ab10ed4f0a56c2d9652c15c219840ed88d437f847fa481de7
  calibrate impl 59ca046b (G) / 46b52a20 (S) -> f2dd92eaaebba782e100cb92d90524d3ae6e2bab9ffedbacbe8df0257d5cae3d
  calibrate node faaccb27 (G) / 970720b7 (S) -> ae92142a3bf0934ac6b6751aca904c1847cdff3ca8533af83141d2cbf1ccf102

docs/evidence/spec-engine/us-f0-coverage.json is regenerated by
tools/spec_engine_coverage.py and its --check now exits 0. The calibrate parity
pin is re-recorded by tools/graph_parity_repin.py calibrate, which produces the
local platform key by running the graph; direct.csv is unchanged because the
kernel's outputs did not move, only its implementation hash.

The country-bundle digests in test_spec_engine_country_bundles.py move for the
same reason and are recomputed too (am/be/uk); the us value there is the same
15e61194 the coverage report and the multispine pin now carry.

Deliberately NOT repinned: the simulate parity pin and the fit.qrf pin. Neither
hashes microcosm.calibrate.solve, and both are byte-unchanged.

+# Current health coverage on the survey multispine
+
+This lane adds source-qualified interview-date coverage to the common ACS+ASEC
+frame and its PUF clones. It does not estimate eligibility, annual receipt,
+insurance costs, or a common observation date. The current ASEC arm is income
+year 2024 / survey year 2025; ACS coverage was observed during 2024. Older ASEC
+income-year vintages are outside this first attachment.
+
+## Source definitions and mapping decisions
+
+The [2025 ASEC dictionary](https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/cps/techdocs/cpsmar25.pdf)
+defines these current recodes for all persons, with 1=yes and 2=no. Corresponding
+`I_NOW_*` flags distinguish reported, hot-deck, logical, and whole-unit imputation.
+The [2024 ACS questionnaire, item 16](https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/acs/methodology/questionnaires/2024/quest24.pdf)
+asks all respondents about current coverage. The [ACS dictionary](https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/acs/tech_docs/pums/data_dict/PUMS_Data_Dictionary_2024.pdf)
+defines HINS1–7 (printed pages 37–38) and allocation/coverage-edit flags (126).
+
+| NATIONAL_CD input | ASEC source | ACS exact source in this first stage |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `has_esi` | `NOW_GRP` | `HINS1` |
+| `has_marketplace_health_coverage_at_interview` | `NOW_MRK` | Gap: `HINS2` combines direct-purchase types |
+| `has_non_marketplace_direct_purchase_health_coverage_at_interview` | `NOW_NONM` | Same gap |
+| `has_medicaid_health_coverage_at_interview` | `NOW_CAID` | Gap: `HINS4` includes CHIP/other means-tested coverage |
+| `has_other_means_tested_health_coverage_at_interview` | `NOW_OTHMT` | Same gap |
+| `has_tricare_health_coverage_at_interview` | `NOW_MIL` | Gap: `HINS5` includes other military coverage |
+| `has_champva_health_coverage_at_interview` | `NOW_CHAMPVA` | No separate ACS item |
+| `has_va_health_coverage_at_interview` | `NOW_VACARE` | Keep `HINS6` distinct pending CHAMPVA recode reconciliation |
+| `has_indian_health_service_coverage_at_interview` | `NOW_IHSFLG` | `HINS7` |
+
+The existing `cps_carried._fill_health_coverage_inputs` supplies the field roster
+and most ASEC mappings, but its absent-column-to-zero helper is unsuitable here.
+Its Medicaid mapping uses `NOW_MCAID`, the broader Medicaid/CHIP/other-means-tested
+aggregate, rather than `NOW_CAID`. Both names and their distinction also appear
+in the [2023](https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/cps/techdocs/cpsmar23.pdf) and
+[2024](https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/cps/techdocs/cpsmar24.pdf) dictionaries.
+The old pipeline remains untouched; this stage refuses ownership collisions.
+
+This narrower mapping is supported by the pinned consumer source, rather than
+inferred from the input name alone. PolicyEngine-US 1.819.0 declares the Medicaid
+input as person-level current Medicaid coverage, declares other means-tested
+coverage separately, and uses the Medicaid input alongside `receives_medicaid`
+for California Medi-Cal continuity. The checked files are
+`variables/household/expense/health/has_medicaid_health_coverage_at_interview.py`
+(SHA256 `0500c4e86120b540e6e2f09fc108123758d8f9863c0e4e4bf94b178dd50e09b8`)
+and `variables/gov/states/ca/chhs/is_ca_medicaid_immigration_status_eligible.py`
+(`6902d01792b8d0902c2693edb78f5ba2554a34f95d4073bd4e85e4ad69ce41a5`).
+Only source text was inspected; this is not an engine execution or a blanket
+reinterpretation of earlier datasets. Both `NOW_CAID` and `NOW_MCAID`, with their
+allocation flags, remain in the graph. A later CMS comparison must declare
+whether its target covers Medicaid alone or Medicaid plus CHIP.
+
+The [ACS subject definitions, health insurance](https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/acs/tech_docs/subject_definitions/2024_ACSSubjectDefinitions.pdf)
+describe source editing and the 2019 change to current VA enrollment wording.
+The [Census programming guide](https://www.census.gov/topics/health/health-insurance/guidance/programming-code/acs-estimates.html)
+still groups CHAMPVA with HINS6. Consequently this stage does not assume that
+HINS6 is interchangeable with the narrower ASEC VACARE recode. Raw HINS2–6 stay
+inspectable; no missing concept becomes a false flag. `HIMRKS` measures subsidized
+direct purchase, not all Marketplace enrollment, and cannot repair that split.
+
+## Graph and authority
+
+Borrow the original checked `SurveyPuf55Run` and its retained survey preparation.
+Capture the exact original ASEC PERSON member and ACS person archive under the
+existing native owners' pins. Match source household/person coordinates to the
+preparation's original person ledger; never join by row position. Record the
+source codes, allocation literals, status, knownness, source year and survey year.
+
+The fragment exposes a source projection artifact, a CREATE source population,
+literal code columns, and nine named per-field recodes. CREATE requires the
+existing `survey_population_source` reference from the original source registry;
+it introduces no additional source file or issuer. A post-PUF attachment follows the retained
+original-person link to both clones, verifies native channel/ID and clone roster,
+and adds nullable booleans plus provenance. This stage has no fitted model.
+Future disaggregation models need separate declarations and assessment.
+
+One fixed country enrichment host assembles the amount and health fragments over
+the original checked PUF handle. The health fragment receives the explicit
+receiving version and the amount attachment's typed artifact edge. Its ordinary
+attachment preserves all incoming columns, including amount unknowns. It does
+not return a separate whole-population branch or issue a public health handle.
+
+Portable values do not issue authority. The owning consumer must requalify the
+retained parent immediately before consumption and after its last relevant I/O,
+then seal the complete successor before returning it. The fragment checks its
+retained physical values around each kernel callback; callback success itself
+grants no source authority. The host owns source and kernel registries, typed
+artifact/store bindings, replay checks, and complete successor verification.
+
+## Bounded verification
+
+The 31-case suite passes over invented records. It exercises the real source
+catalogues, preparation issuers, original-member qualifier and requalification;
+literal yes/no/allocation and unknown handling; exact source-coordinate joins;
+clone identity and collision refusal; all prior amount-column preservation;
+and a 13-node actual graph cold run plus required replay. Independent complete
+population reconstruction matches every observed health-node output. The graph
+fixture's qualified value is explicitly descriptive; it does not claim a new
+source admission. A separate test obtains the qualified value through the real
+issuer path using privately pinned invented source bytes.
+
+The source-v3 guarded run closed with result 0: 20.61 seconds wall, 19.95 seconds
+CPU and 490.9 MB peak RSS. Earlier failed fixtures remain preserved, including
+the origin-coordinate type mismatch exposed by the real qualification test.
+No native microdata, country engine, public upload or model benchmark was used.
+This verifies the fragment, not a launchable population. Actual-source replay,
+the combined host's final retained-parent fence and release coverage checks
+remain its consumer's responsibilities; the seven unresolved ACS concepts stay
+explicit gaps.

+# Current survey amount successor
+
+Implementation plan and source inventory, 12 September 2026. This is a local
+successor to the retained survey PUF55 run, not an amendment to the frozen d35
+native pilot. The branch starts at reviewed integration 99543c3.
+
+## Immediate scope
+
+| Native ASEC field | Canonical person input | Reporting evidence |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| UC_VAL | unemployment_compensation | UC_YN receipt code; amount question universe UC_YN = 1 |
+| PHIP_VAL | health_insurance_premiums_without_medicare_part_b | All persons |
+| PMED_VAL | other_medical_expenses | All persons |
+| POTC_VAL | over_the_counter_health_expenses | All persons |
+
+These four names are absent from both PUF tax-detail ownership rosters. They
+already have qualified current-money domains and direct amount mappings in
+`cps_carried_current.py`. The complete legacy carry helper is not reusable:
+it also writes existing PUF leaves and a legacy Social Security decomposition.
+The modern `survey_social_security` source owner remains the authority for
+Social Security; no age-62 zero fallback or prior wages is introduced here.
+
+The current ASEC source is the authenticated original 2025 person member,
+income year and price basis 2024. ACS observations use the already qualified
+2024 source predictors, whose earnings refer to the rolling prior 12 months.
+That temporal harmonization is a documented model choice, not equivalent
+observation windows. No new donor dataset is needed.
+
+## Amount and reporting status are different
+
+The [2025 CPS ASEC dictionary](https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/cps/datasets/2025/march/asec2025_ddl_pub_full.pdf),
+PDF page 50, defines UC_YN codes 0 (NIU), 1 (yes), and 2 (no), with the receipt
+question asked of persons aged 15 or older. UC_VAL is asked of recipients;
+its zero code conflates none with NIU. The maintained domain metadata pins
+this dictionary to SHA256
+`5cb80973326ef8b625fbaae70d80b0c641ce5d2b3911abd2fb4427abd5908a6f`.
+The three health amounts have all-persons universes (PDF page 83).
+
+A small bounded UC_YN projection reads the same exact authenticated original
+member. Native person and household/line coordinates must join the original
+current-money owner exactly; carried columns and detached JSON do not confer
+source authority. The projection retains the original amount, amount validity,
+source classification, zero_origin, literal receipt code and reporting status.
+Today's upstream preparation requires complete qualified current money before
+issuing its handle. Literal missing-amount controls test the join's unknown
+semantics; they do not claim that a missing amount passes this unchanged parent
+prerequisite. Reporting unknownness can still occur with numerically valid amounts.
+
+UC attachment and donor policy:
+
+- A valid positive amount with an in-universe yes code is known receipt.
+- A zero amount with an in-universe no code is known nonreceipt.
+- Yes with zero is an ambiguous amount, not known nonreceipt. It remains in
+  the source projection but is excluded from fit and canonical attachment.
+- NIU, blank/unrecognized codes, missing amounts, and contradictory amount/
+  receipt pairs remain unresolved and are excluded from fit and attachment.
+- Out-of-universe age does not infer a zero. ACS persons outside the receipt
+  question universe also retain unknown UC rather than receiving an adult draw.
+
+The health fields retain qualified valid all-persons amounts, including genuine
+zero-dollar codes. No noanswer cell is converted to zero. Allocation and source
+status remain evidence; known source values are not claimed to be unallocated.
+PHIP_VAL is deliberately retained as the declared premium source, rather than
+silently substituting PHIP_VAL2, whose treatment of inconsistent reported zero
+premiums differs. The [Census health insurance user note](https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/cps/technical-documentation/user-notes/health-insurance-user-notes/User-Notes-Selected-CPS-ASEC.html)
+describes that distinction. Person-level conditional fitting preserves modeled
+cross-component dependence; it does not certify household or insurance-unit
+correlation, which still needs empirical validation.
+
+## One family, explicit graph operations
+
+The family has one parameterized source projection and attachment mechanism.
+Each selected field declares its source transformation, donor eligibility,
+recipient matrix, QRF fit and draw as graph nodes/artifacts. UC has its own
+reporting mask. The health group uses an ordered PHIP → PMED → POTC conditional
+chain, retaining observed health-component dependence through prior-target
+conditioning instead of fitting the three amounts independently. This avoids
+filling unknown UC to make a joint matrix finite. Fits use the existing regime-gated QRF implementation and
+current source predictor qualification; donor weights remain original design
+weights before allocation or cloning. No PUF value becomes an ASEC donor.
+
+Draws are keyed to the original ACS source person, then deliberately shared by
+its original and PUF support clones. This preserves source observations and
+paired support interpretation; clone labels are checked during attachment.
+Source amount values and reporting status are copied to both ASEC clones.
+Every existing parent column, owner, axis, membership, atomic geography,
+weight, design anchor and mass ledger must remain identical.
+
+The parent is the exact `SurveyPuf55Run` checked by
+`check_survey_puf55_run`. The original handle is retained and checked before
+consumption and after source/store/export I/O. A checked JSON payload or copied
+dataclass cannot issue authority. The extension copies kernel/source-codec
+registries privately, preserves all prefix declarations/keys/artifacts, and
+verifies actual observed populations on cold and required replay. Failed checks
+revoke the original handle. The checked-output branch supplies this additive
+API; the frozen native packet is left untouched.
+
+## Verification
+
+First run cheap invented controls: all UC code/amount/universe combinations,
+health zero and unknown behavior, literal bounds and source-coordinate joins,
+clone pairing, missing/duplicate source IDs, invalid source/clone channels,
+ownership collisions and raw/status/zero-origin mutation.
+
+Then an actual invented authenticated-source fixture runs the family through
+real graph cold and required replay, QRF train/apply, coverage, complete Frame
+store/export/readback, parent retention and unchanged prefix seals. Rejection
+controls mutate source projection, parent handle/population, declared graph,
+artifact bytes, fit/draw lineage and output attachment independently. Acceptance
+requires closed receipts and independent review. No native run, engine outcome,
+held-out quality, calibration or release certification is claimed by these tests.
+
+## Remaining input inventory
+
+The accepted invented PUF baseline has 161 required names, of which 100 are
+absent. Its 61 present names are not necessarily complete: some PUF leaves are
+populated only on PUF clones. Counts are inventory for that fixture, not a native
+coverage measurement. The next stage reduces absent names while reporting
+unresolved cells separately.
+
+| Input family | Existing source producer or route | Integration requirement |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| UC and three health amounts | authenticated current-money owner; direct `cps_carried_current` maps | This stage |
+| Social Security components | `current_social_security_source`, `survey_social_security` | Preserve source reporting basis and unknown components; never legacy age split |
+| Health coverage | Authenticated `current_survey_health_source` and explicit `graph_current_survey_health` fragment | This stage; seven narrow ACS concepts remain unknown where the survey cannot distinguish them |
+| Disability, student status, children, veteran status | `eligibility_inputs` | Qualify literals and reporting universes before reuse |
+| Parent relationships | `eligibility_inputs._own_children_in_household` resolves PEPAR1/PEPAR2 then drops links | Issue 884: retain parent_1_id/parent_2_id with household/line and clone joins; unresolved and absent differ; consumer issue 9404 is separate |
+| Marital roles | `relationship_inputs` | Current source observations and clone preservation |
+| Hours, work history, occupation, wage/tips | `hours_worked`, `org_wages`, `weeks_unemployed`, `sipp_tips` | Source/QRF qualification and explicit ownership; prior wages excluded |
+| Child support, disability income, workers compensation | respective maintained runtime modules | Current source amount/universe qualification, then existing fit contracts |
+| Housing, energy, care, education | `housing`, `energy_subsidy`, `adultcare`, education producers | Household/SPM source and clone-keyed joins; reconcile PUF tuition ownership |
+| Financial wealth, vehicles, loans | SCF/SIPP producer modules | Actual donor authentication, existing fit dependencies and held-out quality |
+| Retirement distributions/contributions | maintained distribution/contribution modules | Reconcile already PUF-owned taxable IRA/pension and self-employed pension leaves |
+| Pregnancy, SSI disability, voluntary filing | maintained producer modules | Resolve source authority and distinct behavioral assumptions |
+| Take-up | `take_up_contract` | Unsourced rates remain unresolved; no convenience constant fills |
+| Mortgage details, marketplace benchmark ratio, remaining retirement details | Not yet mapped in this bounded inventory | Identify actual producer/owner or make an explicit source/model decision |
+
+The inventory used tracked files and `rg --no-ignore` within explicit source
+directories because ordinary searches can skip the tracked build package.
+Existing function names establish implementation leads; they do not prove that
+those producers are integrated into the current graph or current native file.
+
+
+## Fixed country composition
+
+`run_us_survey_enrichment` retains the original checked `SurveyPuf55Run` and
+assembles the amount family and independently source-qualified health fragment.
+Both attach to `survey_puf55.receiving`; the health CREATE and final attachment
+explicitly consume `survey_amounts.attach/attachment`. Health adds nine coverage
+inputs and their literal/status/knownness evidence after all four monetary leaves.
+The host preserves the complete parent Frame, owners, design anchors and mass ledger,
+compares every unchanged prefix version against the original parent manifest, and
+requalifies both original-source projections before issuing its output. There is
+one private issued-handle registry and one public checked country output, not a
+family-level authority or executor. The health fragment's descriptive values do
+not grant access to native sources.
+
+The combined invented fixture includes the exact source ACS HINS/flags and ASEC
+NOW/flags before authenticating source owners. It runs the original financial and
+PUF stages, both enrichment fragments, a required replay, input-coverage diagnosis
+and complete Frame store/readback. No native build, model engine execution,
+calibration, or release approval is implied by these checks.
+
+
+## Invented acceptance, 12 September 2026
+
+The final production source passed the 271-node combined graph: 245 validated
+prefix hits followed by 26 newly executed enrichment nodes, then a required
+replay with all 271 hits. Complete parent columns, owners, design anchors,
+geography and the mass ledger were preserved. The full resulting Frame was
+stored and read back with exact physical comparison. The fixture has 18 people;
+required-name coverage improved from 61 to 74 of the 161-input profile, leaving
+87 missing names. Presence does not imply complete values or statistical quality.
+
+All 18 people have the three health-cost values and an ESI observation. UC has
+10 known and eight unresolved values. The narrow Medicaid-at-interview input has
+eight known and ten unresolved values, preserving the ACS semantic gap. These
+are counts from invented records, not estimates or native-data diagnostics.
+
+Acceptance combines five passing ordered tests from the third full attempt and
+one corrected, focused final parent-revocation test. The third attempt retained
+its failed result because that last test named a nonexistent generic income
+column; it stopped before mutating anything. The final test uses the actual
+`employment_income_before_lsr` input and verifies permanent parent and child
+revocation after mutation, including refusal after restoring the original value.
+It rebuilds a real parent and one child, without repeating the already-passed
+required replay or readback. The focused attempt passed with all 857 Python
+source pins stable, 624.872 seconds wall time and 885,669,888 bytes peak RSS.
+
+The separate 32-case cheap suite covers UC reporting classifications, literal
+missingness, source/clone identity, ownership collisions and source-origin
+serialization when `person_id` names both an index and a column. The serialization
+binds the original int64 axis and its name separately from ordered column values.
+Independent review covers the frozen UC source, health fragment, combined host
+and this serialization correction. Preserved failed attempts remain part of the
+local acceptance record; no native execution or release certificate is implied.

Subject: [PATCH 151/255] Add the grouped x snapshot cross-product controls

Adds the checklist's minimal cross product to the three existing grouped test
files rather than a new one, so every case reuses the fixtures already there
(the repo runs pytest with --import-mode=importlib and only the build tests
directory on pythonpath, so a new calibrate test file could not import them).
tools/ci_test_groups.py --verify stays green and no file changes lane.

test_grouped_fixed_support.py (24 -> 42 cases):
- Snapshots off/on over dense x CSR, positive x fixed-zero support, and plain /
  warm-started / L2 runs: identical returned weights, trajectory, options,
  closing loss, stored frame weights, ordered IDs and fixed-zero bytes, and an
  identical sequence of private post-projection proof payloads. Exactly 20
  _apply_constraint and 3 problem.estimates calls either way, and identical
  torch and numpy RNG state afterwards.
- Every grouped snapshot reports best_retained unavailable and the
  closing_state selection labels; in-loop rows are float32 current, the closing
  row is float64 selected at epoch == epochs.
- Each in-loop row carries the exact float32 tensor that epoch's loss was
  computed from, proven against a wrapped _apply_constraint, and differs from a
  recomputation on the accepted vector the private observer reports next.
- The closing row equals the reused float64 final diagnostics estimates.
- A sink that ruins every delivered payload cannot change the weights or the
  next payload; a sink that mutates live frame IDs at the closing emission
  still trips the ordered-ID admission guard, which therefore still runs last.
- No record-level content in any grouped payload.

test_group_bounds.py (79 -> 82 cases):
- Zero epochs through the internal grouped seam emits nothing and evaluates
  nothing.
- Caps of 81 against an initial per-group total of 80 make the projection
  correct on every epoch; corrections, accepted bytes and group totals are
  identical with the observer attached.

test_solve_us_launch_integration.py (8 -> 12 cases):
- The deliberately oscillating example, observed. Ordinary Adam's closing
  snapshot names the earlier epoch it returned and admits a retained best; the
  grouped run's names the closing epoch and reports none. A reused emitter that
  inferred retain-best from an empty receipt would pass the second assertion by
  accident, so the grouped selection label is asserted explicitly.

Full microcosm-calibrate shard: 443 passed.

Subject: [PATCH 152/255] Stop completing amounts the printed dictionary leaves
 ambiguous

Seven corrections from adversarial review, each removing a claim the source
does not support:

A recipient zero now resolves only where the printed entry says its zero is
valid dollars, read from the pinned domains artifact. That is ANN_VAL alone,
whose NIU is the separate -1 code. RNT_VAL and FRSE_VAL print the same
"0 = none or niu" label the gross entries print, so receipt_with_net_zero stays
a distinct status but no longer completes a known zero.

Off-route distribution dollars or an answered off-route recipiency now
contradict the row instead of leaving an affirmative known zero, and an
applicable slot declaring an account whose amount is a "none or niu" zero
leaves the composition and the regular-IRA share unresolved.

Other-income routing follows the printed receipt universe, so an out-of-universe
row no longer reports a category or reads as reported alimony.

Allocation origins no longer assert publisher-confirmed non-allocation: each
flag prints a conditional universe that is not evaluated here, so an all-zero
reading is reported as exactly that.

Receipt code labels are per entry, so OI_YN reports its printed "none or niu"
while the other eight report "niu"/"Niu" as printed.

The literal transport gains its own digest inside the final identity check, and
the public projection validates its routing token arrays.

+# Survey amount and health integration
+
+The release branch now includes the source-qualified health fragment from
+`7cb1384be82ae4bd559577c5ebe142bf708e8570` and the fixed post-PUF enrichment host
+from `99c35b0865e6f6cfe86ede15a10da91360a5e66b`. Their local integration commits
+are `f92418a859e576ab7fd40919d3e9d75f41bd1ee4` and
+`091261c0e979d0ee191ddbaf08a069b2554d7165`. Both cherry-picks were conflict-free.
+
+The preceding main merge incorporated shared graph PR #913, main revision
+`a9cc63e737fd4619a304117dc2ec7dcd86d97901`, without changing the release branch's
+existing source tree. The checked PUF API, eighth financial output, source-string
+hashing optimization, ACS anchor qualification and signed reconciliation helper
+are preserved. None of those building blocks is interpreted as native acceptance
+of this integrated candidate.
+
+## Accepted combined stage
+
+The host retains the original checked PUF run and original survey source owners.
+It adds four amounts and nine coverage fields to `survey_puf55.receiving`, with
+health explicitly dependent on the amount attachment. Source reporting-universe,
+knownness and allocation information remain distinct from numeric values.
+The [source/model specification](../docs/us-current-survey-amount-successor.md)
+records UC classification, PHIP_VAL rather than PHIP_VAL2, the conditional
+health-cost chain, deliberate ACS clone-sharing and narrower coverage gaps.
+
+On the accepted prior implementation, the 18-person invented fixture executed
+26 new nodes over a validated 245-node prefix. Required replay hit all 271 nodes;
+complete Frame readback preserved parent columns, owners, geography, design
+anchors and mass ledger. The diagnostic profile contained 74 of 161 input names,
+leaving 87 missing. UC had ten known and eight unresolved values; all 18 had the
+three medical-cost amounts and ESI, while narrower Medicaid coverage had eight
+known and ten unresolved values. These are invented counts, not population
+estimates, native coverage or evidence of statistical quality.
+
+Acceptance combines the first five passing tests from the main v3 attempt and
+the corrected final parent-revocation test from a focused v4 attempt. The v3
+result remains failed: its last test named a nonexistent income column and
+stopped before mutation. The corrected test uses the actual
+`employment_income_before_lsr` column and proves permanent parent and child
+revocation, including after restoring the original value. It passed without
+repeating the already-passed required replay and Frame readback. There is no
+claim of one all-green full v3 run. Independent source and evidence review
+approved this six-control coverage at unchanged production bytes.

+with zero failures, errors or skips in 27.149 seconds wall time; peak RSS was
+503,201,792 bytes. The selection includes all 32 amount controls, all 31 health
+source/fragment controls, the actual invented UC source-qualification test and
+the cheap financial/source controls, including the conserving interest
+attachment. The health fragment executes cold and required replay. The expensive
+financial/PUF/combined fixture was not selected again.
+
+All 477 Python files under the shard source directories retained their hashes;
+Torch threads remained 1/1. CPU and wall limits were applied. This is bounded
+invented integration evidence, not the native admission guard.

+Actual declaration functions, invoked with invented descriptive values, confirm
+three financial model targets, eight financial output fields and ten financial
+extension nodes. Each PUF route retains 55 fits and 55 applications. The amount
+fragment has 14 nodes and health has 12; together they compile with the explicit
+parent and attachment dependencies. The complete host therefore still declares
+271 nodes. The added tax-exempt-interest output changes the existing attachment
+and its source identity, not the target chain or node count. No issued parent,
+native source or full graph execution is established by this declaration probe.
+
+Native PUF execution, original-channel tax-detail completion, remaining inputs,
+full-candidate coverage, model evaluation, calibration and release verification
+remain separate work. The ACS anchor qualifier and signed projection helper are
+adopted source/numeric building blocks; the current enrichment host does not yet
+invoke them to reconcile property or retirement components.

Subject: [PATCH 155/255] Register the qualifier in the fail-closed US runtime
 rosters

test_us_spine_blindness globs every us_runtime module and fails closed on an
unregistered one, so the new qualifier is classified beside the Social Security
qualifier it mirrors and added to the reviewed source-spine provenance owners:
it selects the ASEC channel and binds original identities, and routes no
PUF-detail imputation.

Three of that file's tests remain red for four modules that were already
unclassified at the reviewed base d5cbe60b2 - graph_fiscal_dense_calibration,
graph_fiscal_measurement, graph_puf55_route_attachment and graph_survey_puf55 -
which this lane does not own and has not touched.

Also names the printed entry tuples so use sites and the emitted receipt index
them by field rather than position, compares the account code domain against
the canonical definition instead of a re-typed literal, and corrects the
contract note: TAXABLE_PENSION_FRACTION is live in the prepared-ASEC stage, not
archived, so a second split attached here would double-count.

+## Second review round: corrections after adversarial review
+
+An independent five-lens adversarial review of the finished lane (source
+fidelity, projection semantics, owner pattern, tests, repository fit) found a
+further set of defects, every one of which is fixed on this branch:
+
+1. **Fail-closed roster (CI-breaking).** `test_us_spine_blindness.py` globs
+   every `us_runtime` module and fails closed on an unregistered one. The
+   qualifier is now classified there and listed among the reviewed source-spine
+   provenance owners. Three of that file's tests remain red for four modules
+   already unclassified at the reviewed base `d5cbe60b2` —
+   `graph_fiscal_dense_calibration.py`, `graph_fiscal_measurement.py`,
+   `graph_puf55_route_attachment.py`, `graph_survey_puf55.py` — which this lane
+   neither owns nor touched. **Root should route those to their owners.**
+2. **Recipient zeros were completed on an unprinted rationale.** `RNT_VAL` and
+   `FRSE_VAL` print the same `0 = none or niu` label the gross entries print, so
+   a signed net measure's recipient zero is no longer a known amount. Only
+   `ANN_VAL`, whose printed zero is `valid_zero_dollars`, resolves; that test is
+   read from the pinned domains artifact rather than decided in code.
+3. **Off-route distribution evidence yielded an affirmative zero.** Off-route
+   dollars or an answered off-route recipiency now contradict the row, and an
+   applicable slot declaring an account whose amount is a "none or niu" zero
+   leaves both the total and the regular-IRA share unresolved.
+4. **Other-income routing ignored the printed receipt universe**, so an
+   out-of-universe row read as reported alimony.
+5. **Allocation origins asserted publisher-confirmed non-allocation** from flags
+   whose printed universes are conditional and unevaluated.
+6. **The printed zero receipt label was collapsed** to one shared `niu_or_none`
+   across nine entries that print three different labels.
+7. **`asec_literals` escaped with no digest**, outside the final identity check.
+8. **`I_FRMYN` prints an empty `Values:` block**; its codes were described as
+   following `I_ANNVAL`. **`FARM_AMOUNT_SCOPE` dropped its composite clause.**
+   The claim that every other family prints a 15+ floor was false — the farm
+   family prints none.
+9. **The doc called `TAXABLE_PENSION_FRACTION` archived**; it is live in
+   `cps_carried_current.py` under the prepared-ASEC stage, so a second split
+   attached here would double-count.
+10. Printed entry tables are `NamedTuple`s now, the account code domain is
+    compared against `retirement_distributions._VALID_ACCOUNT_CODES` rather than
+    a re-typed literal, and `project_income_routing` validates its routing token
+    arrays.

Subject: [PATCH 157/255] Record the lane's scope, evidence and residual risks

Adds the local experiment for this integration and brings the lane's PROGRESS
section up to the commits. The prior journals on both merged branches are left
untouched as history.

The record states plainly what this branch is not: it is the shared solver seam
only. us_runtime/graph_fiscal_dense_calibration.py still calls calibrate without
an observer, so nothing here makes a real US calibration emit a snapshot, and no
observer registry, Node.params callback or replay-reruns-the-optimizer claim was
invented to pretend otherwise.

Residual risks recorded: cadence cost on a real US run is unmeasured here (the
only overhead evidence in the tree is #908's synthetic benchmark); the grouped
`selection` labels on in-loop rows are an integration judgement inside what
checklist section 2 sanctions rather than a checklist requirement; host wiring
is the gap between this and any dashboard; the recomputed identities are only
valid for the locked dependency versions they were taken under; and the
engine-gated identity proofs were exercised with the engines present, so a lane
without the US extra skips rather than checks them.

+Complete and local. Four commits: the merge, the grouped instrumentation, the
+identity recomputation, and the cross-product controls. Nothing pushed, no PR,
+no release action. Root reviews and integrates.
+
+Scope is the shared solver seam only. `graph_fiscal_dense_calibration.py` still
+calls `calibrate` without an observer, so this branch emits no snapshot for the
+real US fiscal path; that host wiring is a separate step, and no observer
+registry, `Node.params` callback or replay-reruns-the-optimizer claim was
+invented here. See

+## Done (continued)

+- Instrumented `_optimize_grouped`: the grouped early return in `_optimize`
+  bypassed every hook S added, so grouped runs emitted only a closing snapshot.
+  The in-loop emission sits after the progress callback and before `backward()`
+  and reads the exact float32 estimate tensor the epoch's loss was computed
+  from. Returned weights, trajectory and RNG state are bit-identical with the
+  observer on and off, and no evaluation is added.
+- Separated retain-best detection from the receipt for grouped runs, so a later
+  change that populated a grouped receipt cannot make the reused final emitter
+  claim a retained best. The receipt stays empty.
+- Recomputed six source-derived identity artifacts against this checkout (the
+  five conflicted ones plus the country-bundle digests, which were not
+  conflicted because only G had touched them but which move for the same
+  reason). No value equals either branch's. The simulate and fit.qrf pins were
+  deliberately left alone.
+- Added the checklist's cross product to the three existing grouped test files
+  rather than a new one, so every case reuses fixtures already there.
+
 ## Next
 
-1. Instrument `_optimize_grouped` so grouped runs emit snapshots (the grouped
-   early return in `_optimize` otherwise bypasses every hook S added).
-2. Recompute the five source-derived identities against the final merged
-   checkout and the isolated interpreter.
-3. Add the bounded cross-product tests from checklist section 7.
-4. Record the lane's scope and evidence under `experiments/`.
+Root's independent review and integration. Open follow-ups, none owned here:
+the host observer seam for the US fiscal dense calibration path, a country-scale
+cadence choice backed by a real measurement, and the dashboard consumer.

+# Grouped solver x calibration target snapshot integration — 2026-09-12
+
+Scope, evidence and residual risks for branch
+`grouped-target-snapshot-integration-20260912`. Source-only; no native build,
+no PUF fixture, no country build, no release action, nothing pushed.
+
+## What this is
+
+The bounded integration of the reviewed calibration target snapshot observer
+(microcosm#908, head `b43369dc49e175803f62020cc1e72fa53926aed8`) with the
+reviewed US grouped/fixed-zero Adam solver (head
+`536f1ceefcdafda3cc619c14b4da18e012a7be57`), on a fresh `origin/main`
+(`116d46ee9dc2aafdc68259b7c06e4c3462522e8b`). Main had not moved from the
+shared base, so no main drift had to be preserved.
+
+Executed against the read-only design checklist
+`grouped-snapshot-integration-review.md` and its pins. All four pinned source
+hashes on both heads matched the pin file byte for byte before the merge.
+
+## What it is not
+
+- **Not** host wiring. `us_runtime/graph_fiscal_dense_calibration.py` still
+  calls `calibrate` without an observer, so this branch produces no snapshot
+  file for the actual US fiscal path. Wiring it is a separate, explicitly
+  host-owned step. No global observer registry, no callback or filesystem path
+  in graph `Node.params`, and no claim that any replay reruns the optimizer.
+- **Not** a dashboard, a staging upload, or a cadence/performance acceptance.
+- **Not** a release, a publication or a promotion of any artifact.
+
+## The one real code change
+
+A clean textual merge leaves grouped runs uninstrumented: `_optimize` returns
+early into `_optimize_grouped` before reaching any snapshot hook S added to the
+ordinary Adam loop, so a caller passing `target_snapshots` to a grouped
+`calibrate` received exactly one closing snapshot and no trajectory.
+
+1. `_optimize` forwards its bound observer into `_optimize_grouped`
+   (`snapshots=snapshots`), and `_optimize_grouped` takes a default-`None`
+   `snapshots` argument.
+2. `_optimize_grouped` emits inside the epoch loop, after the existing progress
+   callback and before `backward()`, from the exact float32 `estimate` tensor
+   the epoch's loss was computed from: `iterate=current`, `precision=float32`,
+   `loss=trajectory[epoch]`, `best_retained={available: False, epoch: None,
+   loss: None}`.
+3. `calibrate` reads retain-best off the solver actually used rather than
+   inferring it from an empty `iterate_selection_receipt`, and stamps the
+   grouped closing snapshot at `epoch == epochs`. The receipt itself stays
+   empty, exactly as before.
+4. Grouped snapshots carry three bounded aggregate scalars in `selection`:
+   `rule: "closing_state"`, `constraint_mode: "grouped_upper_bounds"`,
+   `grouped_preserve_zeros: <bool>`.
+
+Nothing else in either solver moved. No optimizer or matrix dtype, active mask,
+zero template, L2 denominator, log/exp operation, optimizer construction, seed,
+projection call, accepted-buffer assignment or `log_w` overwrite changed; there
+is still exactly one `log_w` overwrite per accepted projection, the final no-op
+projection and accepted-byte equality are unchanged, and the stored-result
+admission (weight bytes, fixed-zero mask, bounds, ordered household IDs) still
+runs after the last sink.
+
+### Why the `selection` labels
+
+Grouped Adam is a closing-state algorithm; it never runs the retain-best rule.
+Without a label, its `best_retained.available: False` is indistinguishable from
+an ordinary run whose retain-best rule happened to be off, and a consumer would
+read the two the same way. Checklist section 2 sanctions exactly this —
+"Optional grouped labels must be bounded aggregate scalars, e.g. constraint
+mode and whether fixed-zero support is enabled". The labels mirror the run's
+own `options["iterate_selection"]` and reuse the receipt's `rule` vocabulary;
+they are three JSON scalars carrying no record-level content. This is the one
+place the integration goes beyond the checklist's literal field list for
+in-loop snapshots, and it is a single expression to remove if root disagrees.
+
+## Evidence
+
+- Grouped runs are bit-identical with the observer on and off across
+  dense x CSR, positive x fixed-zero support, and plain / warm-started / L2:
+  returned weights, loss trajectory, options, closing loss, stored frame
+  weights, ordered IDs, fixed-zero bytes, and the full sequence of private
+  post-projection proof payloads.
+- Exactly 20 `_apply_constraint` and 3 `problem.estimates` calls with the
+  observer on and off on the 20-epoch fixture: cadence buys observation, not
+  evaluation. Torch and numpy RNG state are identical after each pair of runs.
+- Each in-loop row carries the exact float32 tensor the epoch's loss was
+  computed from, verified against a wrapped `_apply_constraint`, and differs on
+  all 20 epochs from a recomputation on the accepted vector the private
+  observer reports next.
+- The closing row equals the reused float64 final diagnostics estimates.
+- A sink that ruins every delivered payload changes neither the weights nor the
+  next payload. A sink that mutates live frame IDs at the closing emission
+  still trips the ordered-ID admission guard.
+- Zero epochs through the internal grouped seam emits nothing and evaluates
+  nothing.
+- The deliberately oscillating example still selects grouped closing output
+  while ordinary Adam selects an earlier best, and each solver's closing
+  snapshot now says which rule produced it.
+
+Identity recomputation. Editing `solve.py` — an attested kernel module — moves
+the seed protocol digest, every resolved-spec digest that folds it in, and the
+calibrate kernel's implementation hash. Each value below was recomputed against
+this checkout with the isolated Python 3.14 interpreter; none equals either
+branch's value, so none is an ours/theirs choice. The simulate parity pin and
+the fit.qrf pin were deliberately left alone: neither hashes
+`microcosm.calibrate.solve`, and both are byte-unchanged from the grouped head.
+
+## Residual risks
+
+1. **Cadence cost on a real US run is unmeasured here.** The only overhead
+   evidence in the tree is #908's synthetic benchmark; this branch adds no
+   native measurement. A country-scale cadence choice is still unowned.
+2. **The `selection` labels are an integration judgement**, not a checklist
+   requirement, on the in-loop rows specifically. See above.
+3. **Host wiring remains the gap between this and any dashboard.** Green tests
+   here say the solver seam is correct; they say nothing about whether any real
+   US calibration emits anything, because none does yet.
+4. **The identity recomputation is only as good as its interpreter.** Digests
+   fold locked dependency versions; a lane on different locked versions will
+   compute different parity keys. The values here were taken under
+   numpy 2.4.6 / pandas 3.0.3 / scipy 1.17.1 / torch 2.12.0 on
+   arm64/darwin/py3.14, which is what the calibrate parity pin records.
+5. **The engine-gated identity tests were exercised with the engines present**
+   in the borrowed environment. A lane without the US extra will skip
+   `test_spec_engine_loader.py`'s golden and the country-bundle proofs rather
+   than check them.

+# Current ASEC interest observations
+
+`current_asec_interest_source.qualify_current_asec_interest(preparation)`
+qualifies ordinary and retirement-account interest from the original 2025 ASEC
+person member, referring to income in 2024. It preserves the already qualified
+`INT_VAL` combined total and exposes the published components and their
+reporting, account, allocation and disclosure metadata.
+
+The source is the [2025 ASEC public-use data dictionary](https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/cps/datasets/2025/march/asec2025_ddl_pub_full.pdf),
+SHA-256 `5cb80973326ef8b625fbaae70d80b0c641ce5d2b3911abd2fb4427abd5908a6f`.
+The exact total-income domain is reused from the pinned
+`asec_current_money_domains_v1.json`; the additional fields use this same
+dictionary. Pages below are one-based PDF pages.
+
+| Fields | Meaning and printed universe | Page |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `INT_VAL`, `INT_YN` | Combined interest; amount universe `INT_YN = 1`, receipt universe age 15+ | 46 |
+| `TRDINT_VAL` | Interest excluding retirement-account interest; `INT_YN = 1` | 50 |
+| `RINT_YN` | Retirement-account interest receipt; age 15+ | 49 |
+| `RINT_SC1`, `RINT_SC2` | Account identities, including 401k, 403b, Roth IRA, Regular IRA, KEOGH, SEP and other; `RINT_YN = 1` | 49 |
+| `RINT_VAL1`, `RINT_VAL2` | Interest in the two reported account slots; corresponding account code greater than zero | 49 |
+| `I_INTVAL`, `I_INTYN` | Combined-interest allocation flags, with distinct composite code systems | 56 |
+| `I_RINTSC`, `I_RINTVAL1`, `I_RINTVAL2`, `I_RINTYN` | Retirement-account allocation flags; `I_RINTSC` names slot 1 only | 57 |
+| `TRINT_VAL1`, `TRINT_VAL2`, `TTRDINT_VAL` | Published top-code indicators for the respective positive component amounts | 60 |
+
+The account, receipt and applicable allocation code systems reuse the income
+routing qualifier. `I_INTVAL` accepts the printed codes 0 and 11–15; its header
+interval does not make codes 1–10 valid. There is no individually published
+allocation flag for `TRDINT_VAL` or `RINT_SC2` in this dictionary. Allocation
+labels describe publisher processing, not observation validity or tax status.
+
+## Amounts and knownness
+
+The result keeps raw source literals, parsed published amounts, parse status,
+reporting status and canonical amount knownness separately. Missing and
+malformed components remain unknown. Interest amounts must be nonnegative
+integers within each field's published encoding; these disclosure ranges are
+not latent-income bounds.
+
+`TRDINT_VAL` describes its range as a dollar value, so a published zero with
+combined-interest receipt `yes` is an observed zero ordinary component.
+`INT_VAL` and `RINT_VAL1/2` describe zero as none or NIU, so zero with receipt
+`yes` remains ambiguous. A retirement-interest recipient with account code 0
+and slot amount 0 has an `unreported_account_slot`, not an imputed account
+amount. Receipt `no` plus account code 0 and amount 0 establishes known
+nonreceipt. Under-15 NIU values never become analytical zeros.
+
+The diagnostic `combined_minus_published_components` subtracts the three
+parsed published component cells from `INT_VAL`. Its knownness means that all
+four published numbers are readable; it does not establish that all three
+components are reported observations. `all_component_amounts_observed`
+separately records that stronger condition. The diagnostic may be negative;
+the qualifier never balances, clips or replaces any published number.
+
+## Source lifetime and composition
+
+Qualification borrows the actual `AuthenticatedSurveyPopulationPreparation`
+and its retained native ASEC/current-money owners. It matches the original
+member's archive digest, member digest, byte count and row count, captures that
+member once, and verifies the captured file after reading. Current-cohort
+`PERIDNUM` keys must form an exact roster; household coordinates, person line
+numbers and raw ages must match the retained parent. Source row order is
+irrelevant. The original `INT_VAL` validity and float64 bits must agree with
+the current-money owner before selected ASEC people are projected.
+
+`CurrentAsecInterestValues(person, asec_literals, evidence)` is descriptive
+transport. Its seal covers both complete tables, axes, nullable masks and
+backing storage, exact float bits and evidence. The qualifier rechecks the
+actual preparation after its last source I/O and checks the complete value
+seal before returning. A consumer must retain the actual preparation,
+requalify it immediately before consumption and after its own last relevant
+I/O, and compare the full value seal before returning or exporting a
+successor. A copied dataclass, evidence dictionary or matching digest cannot
+grant source authority.
+
+The only existing helper change is an optional explicit column/amount-grammar
+roster on the private income-routing literal reader. Its original defaults
+remain in effect for the income-routing qualifier. This module adds no host,
+run issuer, graph execution or model fitting.
+
+## Bridge work still required
+
+[ACS response guidance](https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/acs/respond/get-help.html)
+includes interest credited to retirement accounts in its broad
+interest/dividend/property item. The live guide currently refers to the 2025
+questionnaire; it is not an archived 2024 instruction artifact. This
+ASEC qualification therefore keeps ordinary interest and retirement-account
+interest separate for a later, reviewed measurement bridge. It does not
+declare either component taxable, tax-exempt, regularly withdrawn, or equal
+to an ACS component. It does not alter tax leaves, original or PUF clones,
+financial imputation, calibration or release eligibility.

+# Signed component reconciliation in the graph
+
+`microcosm.fit.graph_signed_reconciliation.signed_reconciliation_node` exposes
+the existing weighted Euclidean projection as an ordinary graph calculation.
+Its parameters name the anchor, input draws, output components, nonnegative
+bounds, positive scales and numerical tolerances. The country model must
+declare and justify those choices. The operator supplies no default scale or
+tax interpretation.
+
+For the proposed ACS property-income family, the components are ordinary
+interest, retirement-account interest, dividends and signed property income.
+The first three have nonnegative bounds; property income can offset them.
+A zero reported total therefore does not imply that every component is zero.
+Retirement-account interest remains a separate survey component and is not
+relabeled as taxable or tax-exempt interest. Source qualification, a defensible
+ASEC-to-ACS measurement bridge, fitting and tax conversion remain separate
+upstream/downstream operations; this numeric node alone does not complete them.
+
+The graph retains the anchor and raw draw columns. It adds the reconciled
+components, each component's adjustment and bound activity, the sum residual
+and the projection objective. A typed summary artifact records the complete
+rule, row count, adjusted-row count, maximum absolute residual and bound counts.
+It describes the numerical result and grants no source or release authority.
+These declarations and columns make the rule inspectable in the shared graph
+viewer without another viewer implementation.
+
+All input amounts must be finite float64 values. Unknown anchors or draws
+refuse; the country host must declare how it selects or models those cases.
+Inputs cannot share names with the new outputs, and no original observation
+is overwritten. The kernel never reads survey origin, weights or an RNG and
+returns no membership or weight changes. Its numerical contract is bitwise on
+one platform; the explicit projection tolerances test constraints within each
+run and are not a claim of cross-platform equality.
+
+## Verification on 12 September 2026
+
+Twenty-four guarded tests pass, including direct comparison to the independently
+tested pure projection; negative and zero-net anchors; exact IDs above 2^53;
+row permutation; missing, infinite and incorrectly typed inputs; invalid
+bounds/scales and column collisions; and declaration/context disagreement.
+An actual two-node graph executes cold, retains the complete input Frame,
+metadata and zero-weight record, then reopens the store under required replay.
+The replay hits both nodes and preserves artifact identity. Changing scales
+reuses the source node and invalidates the reconciliation node.
+
+The closed run used 3.69 seconds wall time and 417,775,616 bytes peak RSS.
+All 1,000 source and eight owned hashes, plus 15 resource hashes, were unchanged;
+there were no unexpected denied operations or child processes. These are
+invented-data graph checks, not native Microcosm acceptance. Receipt SHA-256:
+`7e0ed8fefc911b9d7969f48e0d2c382c189e40a0427a120a163a8ce9c8ffae01`.
+JUnit SHA-256:
+`914745d61c768ae4f445df408db89601d4a4268374ba4f0e6caba6085ea6be6c`.
+
+The first run preserved 22 passing tests and two fixture failures: the test
+attempted an empty `Weights` object and constructed unsorted group IDs.
+Correcting those fixture inputs produced the result above; production source
+was unchanged between the two runs. Independent review is recorded separately.

+# Fiscal input policies
+
+The declared fiscal measurement stage requires an input producer for every
+leaf in its static model closure. Missing and nonfinite values still refuse
+evaluation. The optional leaf policy records more precise intent without
+weakening that default.
+
+An explicit policy can describe producer ownership or a proposed literal
+scenario assumption. **Assumption-bearing executions currently refuse with
+`FISCAL_MEASUREMENT_ASSUMPTION_PARENT_ADMISSION_UNSUPPORTED`.** No US assumption
+resource is enabled, and no dataset column or producer requirement changes.
+
+## Exact policy identity
+
+`load_fiscal_leaf_policy(payload, expected_sha256=...)` accepts bounded,
+canonical JSON bytes and an explicit SHA-256 pin. It performs no file or
+network I/O. The same `FiscalLeafPolicy` goes to `fiscal_measurement_node` and
+`FiscalMeasurementKernel`. Its pin is rechecked when used; the parsed document
+is detached. Omitting the argument, or passing `None`, preserves the previous
+all-producer declaration shape and runtime behavior.
+
+A policy has schema version 1, artifact kind
+`microcosm.us.fiscal_leaf_policy`, one positive integer `period`, an exact
+ordered list of model `roots`, and an `entries` mapping covering the static
+closure exactly. Missing entries and stale entries refuse. Each entry's
+entity must agree with the independently derived model metadata.
+
+| Kind | Required entry fields | Behavior |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `producer` | `kind`, `entity`, `producer` | The declared input column must exist and every cell must be known and finite. |
+| `assumption` | `kind`, `entity`, `value`, `interpretation`, `period`, `roots`, `affected_roots`, `affected_programs`, `rationale`, `reviewer`, `source_issue`, `reform_sensitivity` | Validated and inspectable; execution remains unsupported. |
+| `inactive` | No supported shape | Always refused. |
+
+An assumption's interpretation is explicitly `baseline_behavior` or
+`scenario_parameter`. Neither category means the program is insensitive to
+the choice. The affected roots must include every declared root whose static
+closure contains that leaf, in declaration order. Scope must exactly match
+the policy's period and roots; program names and review fields cannot be
+empty. These fields describe claimed review and intent. They do not prove
+reviewer authorization, establish a source observation, or make an observed
+attribute an acceptable assumption.
+
+V1 supports finite Boolean, signed 64-bit integer and floating-point literals
+with explicit engine type checks. Strings, enums, null, containers and an
+`engine default` reference refuse. The actual engine metadata and whether a
+default is available (with its literal value when present) are recorded
+beside the proposed value. The host never chooses a value by default lookup.
+The exact policy and engine/default record enter `model_contract`, so policy,
+scope, ownership, review or engine-default changes alter the declared node and
+its cache key. The same declaration is embedded in a successful measurement
+artifact. In this version, only producer policies can produce that artifact.
+
+A column constant at an engine default remains admissible as a producer at
+this boundary. The label does not establish observation or modeled variation.
+The source owner and existing release input-coverage/variation gates retain
+that responsibility. Behavioral take-up and filing propensities are not
+automatically classified as innocuous scenario settings. No prior wages are
+added by this infrastructure.
+
+## Complete-parent admission still required
+
+The graph kernel receives only its declared input slices. It cannot prove a
+column is absent from the complete parent when a caller omitted that column
+from the slice. Declaration checks reject an assumption name present on any
+declared entity, but this is insufficient to enable execution.
+
+The future country host must retain its independently checked complete
+population and use `validate_fiscal_leaf_policy_population(frame, policy)`
+before projection, around relevant I/O, and during cache admission. The
+validator rejects any incumbent assumption name on any entity, including
+wholly unknown or partially unknown columns. Passing a projection or a
+caller-authored column roster is not absence proof. The validator itself
+does not authenticate or issue a parent.
+
+`private_fiscal_assumption_frame(frame, policy)` is a detached preparation
+helper for that future integration. It repeats the collision check and
+creates engine-only tables. It preserves the supplied frame's values,
+membership, weights, strata and metadata. The current fiscal kernel does not
+call it. A future host must validate the exact policy against the admitted
+engine, retain source and complete-parent checks before and after I/O, bind
+the engine/default record, evaluate only the private copy, and keep assumption
+columns out of the population and measurement adapter. A cached artifact
+cannot supply missing source or parent authority.
+
+## Why inactivity is unsupported
+
+`validation_input_coverage._provision_input_leaves` traces a single empty
+one-person simulation. It observes the leaves read by that execution. A
+conditional formula or `defined_for` branch may read additional leaves for
+other households. Absence from that trace cannot establish universal
+inactivity, even at the same period and roots.
+
+Future inactivity support needs exhaustive engine-, period- and root-scoped
+dependency proof, including conditional paths and declared state roots. The
+static closure remains conservative; neither it nor a sampled trace supplies
+this exemption today.
+
+## Bounded implementation evidence
+
+The local source/mock test run passed 91 cases, including the existing
+invented fiscal measurement, calibration and observer graphs. The new controls
+check strict-default compatibility, malformed policies, exact scope and
+closure coverage, type mismatches, private-copy isolation, omitted-column
+collisions, late policy mutation, graph key changes and required replay with
+a forbidden model call. There were no country engine imports, network
+connections or subprocess operations; no native population or source data
+was used. This is infrastructure validation, not actual engine-policy
+admission or candidate fiscal validation.
+
+The source and selected test files were sealed before and after the run.

+# Integrated US source acceptance, 2026-09-12
+
+The accepted current-income routing, interest and allocation-source changes
+compose with the accepted fiscal target-snapshot host. This is an invented-source
+integration check, not a native build, model evaluation, or release verdict.
+
+The integration preserves the full histories of current main
+`a9cc63e737fd4619a304117dc2ec7dcd86d97901`, the income source branch
+`4a8f1d9edeacc99a36a9b2e43175081a8757f0fa`, and the fiscal snapshot branch
+`13791d75a7fce94d12697b8d5ce9bdf46f83ebab`. The merges needed no production
+source edits: each runtime/calibration source difference from one accepted
+parent is byte-identical to the other parent. In particular, the routing
+NamedTuple declarations, private interest-reader seam, and unpublished farm
+allocation-code distinction coexist.
+
+## Runtime classification
+
+The source-spine inventory now includes twelve already reviewed graph modules.
+Seven qualify source observations, validate original-person joins, or declare
+those joins' inputs: ACS income anchors, ASEC interest, ASEC unemployment,
+current survey amounts, the health source and recode/attachment helper, and the
+health graph fragment. These receive explicit source-provenance ownership
+comments. Neither attachment uses source channel to choose a PUF-detail model;
+it verifies the source-person identity and attaches to the same two clones.
+
+Fiscal measurement, PUF route attachment, the PUF composition host, and the
+combined amount/health host retain source-spine scanning. Their reviewed dynamic
+selectors index exact geography fields, numeric masks, typed artifact names,
+producer keys, or retained node histories. Sixteen direct counterexamples verify
+that provenance columns and factories still fail in each of those four modules.
+The dense fiscal solver needs no exception. Scanner functions and classes,
+registered population operators, and the physical source-accessor gate remain
+unchanged.
+
+## Validation
+
+The frozen combined suite passed **138 tests**: routing 88, interest 40, and
+allocation meaning 10. The first launch stopped during collection because the
+handoff's routing count was 64; no tests executed in that attempt. The second
+launch corrected only the expected count and owned scratch paths, preserving
+all test and production bytes and the existing audit-control functions.
+
+The passing run took 216.86 seconds wall time and 211.50 seconds CPU, with
+405,897,216 bytes peak RSS. All 1,011 source/owned hashes and 15 resource hashes
+were unchanged; there were no unexpected refusals and Torch thread counts were
+1/1. Limits remained 300 CPU seconds, 600 wall seconds, 8 GiB RSS, no children,
+no network and no country engine. The existing denied optional timezone-resource
+probe produced the sole warning. Native inputs remained inaccessible.
+
+The exact passing receipt SHA256 is
+`21d4c5723558ad539c2bee4a70d3296b004dea2b2fe951be599a1c07f5b680f6`;
+JUnit SHA256 is
+`c9d6bd0420417ca6d246b25fbd48701374877a4f2924504e245533c91bf16d44`.
+Only the source-spine test roster changed after this frozen source run; runtime,
+resource and selected source-test bytes did not change.
+
+The seven existing runtime source scans first demonstrated the unclassified
+modules and source-owner/dynamic-selector findings. Their other four checks
+already passed. The full scanner is CPU-heavy in the existing
+`atomic_block_support.py`; its first 120-second capped attempt was retained
+without claiming a result, and the completed red run took 260.66 seconds. The
+classification changes do not optimize or weaken this scanner. All seven green
+checks passed in 238.44 seconds, with unchanged roster-test bytes during the
+run. An observational helper wrapper recorded module names, timing and the exact
+returned findings; it did not alter scanner inputs or findings.
+
+Local evidence is retained under
+`codex-integrated-source-acceptance-20260912`: source-v1 preserves the count
+refusal, source-v2 holds the frozen passing acceptance, and separate roster
+receipts, source-equivalence proof and direct counterexamples delimit the test
+inventory change. Fiscal numerical/callback acceptance remains the separately
+reviewed 13791 parent evidence; no duplicate fiscal or PUF fixture was run here.

+# Current ASEC child-support observations
+
+`qualify_current_asec_child_support(preparation)` in
+`microcosm.build.us_runtime.current_asec_child_support_source` qualifies the
+original received- and paid-support observations from the retained 2025 ASEC
+person source. The dollar amounts refer to the current 2024 income cohort.
+
+The source is the [2025 ASEC public-use dictionary](https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/cps/datasets/2025/march/asec2025_ddl_pub_full.pdf),
+SHA-256 `5cb80973326ef8b625fbaae70d80b0c641ce5d2b3911abd2fb4427abd5908a6f`.
+The qualifier reuses the exact packaged monetary domains and temporal
+authority for `CSP_VAL` and `CHSP_VAL`. It adds source questions and flags from
+the same dictionary, with their positions, widths and printed universes.
+
+| Fields | Source meaning | One-based PDF page |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `CSP_VAL`, `CSP_YN` | Amount received and actual receipt answer; receipt universe age 15+ | 52 |
+| `CHSP_VAL`, `CHSP_YN` | Annual amount paid and whether payment is required; the latter is an obligation question | 52 |
+| `CHELSEW_YN` | Whether a child lives outside the household; age 15+ | 52 |
+| `I_CHELSEWYN`, `I_CHSPVAL`, `I_CHSPYN`, `I_CSPVAL`, `I_CSPYN` | Published allocation flags, using the shared I_ANNVAL code meanings | 54 |
+| `TCHSP_VAL`, `TCSP_VAL` | Published top-code indicators for positive amounts | 59 |
+
+## Received amounts
+
+The printed zero for `CSP_VAL` means none or NIU. An in-universe receipt-no
+answer plus zero establishes known nonreceipt. A receipt-yes answer plus zero
+remains ambiguous; the qualifier does not complete it with a zero-dollar
+observation. Positive receipt amounts are retained, including valid allocated
+observations. Under-15 NIU, missing answers, malformed literals and
+contradictory receipt/amount pairs remain distinguishable and unknown.
+
+## Payments and obligations
+
+`CHSP_YN` asks whether the person is required to pay child support. A no
+answer does not rule out voluntary payment. `CHSP_VAL` describes actual annual
+payments and prints zero as NIU, so every paid zero remains a published code
+with an unknown canonical payment amount. No obligation answer turns it into
+an observed zero.
+
+The paid amount's universe is `CHSP_YN = 1`. The obligation question itself
+prints only the bare field `CHELSEW_YN`, while the allocation flag `I_CHSPYN`
+prints `CHELSEW_YN = 1`. That discrepancy remains in the evidence. The
+qualifier conservatively accepts positive payments on the observed
+intersection age 15+, child-elsewhere yes and required-to-pay yes. Other
+routes keep the published positive amount and an explicit unresolved status.
+This intersection is a qualification choice, not a correction of the printed
+universe or proof that voluntary payments do not occur.
+
+The obligation and child-elsewhere entries do not independently state a
+reference year. Their source context is retained; the qualifier does not
+issue a current-at-interview or eligibility input from those answers.
+
+## Provenance and consumption
+
+The result has two complete tables: selected ASEC people on the common
+preparation's person identities, and the original current-cohort literals on
+native identities. Source amount validity, statuses and zero origin are
+retained alongside the descriptive projection. Allocation/top-code literal
+values and parse statuses remain separate from amount knownness. All-zero
+allocation flags describe the published codes; they are not a blanket claim
+of unallocated or respondent-reported data.
+
+The qualifier takes the actual authenticated preparation, captures the
+pinned original member once through the shared bounded literal reader,
+checks its bytes and complete native-key roster, verifies household/line/raw
+age coordinates, and compares both source amounts to their retained
+current-money values with exact validity and float64 bits. Source row order
+does not define person identity.
+
+`CurrentAsecChildSupportValues` is descriptive transport, not an issuer.
+`child_support_values_seal` covers both complete tables, axes, nullable masks
+and backing storage, float bits and detached evidence. The actual preparation
+is requalified after source I/O, followed by final owner and physical-value
+checks. A consumer must retain the actual owner, requalify immediately before
+consumption and after its own last relevant I/O, and compare complete value
+seals before returning or exporting a successor. Copied data or a matching
+digest cannot grant source authority.
+
+This module assigns no engine leaf, changes no clone, fits no ACS model and
+issues no new source admission or release eligibility.

+# Current ASEC dividend and survivor routes
+
+`current_asec_dividend_source.qualify_current_asec_dividend(preparation)`
+qualifies current ASEC dividend observations and the recorded survivor-income
+source routes that could overlap with a broad property-income concept. It
+reads the original 2025 person member, whose annual money amounts refer to
+2024. It returns source observations and provenance, without modeling ACS
+values, assigning tax treatment or authorizing a dataset release.
+
+The [2025 ASEC public-use dictionary](https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/cps/datasets/2025/march/asec2025_ddl_pub_full.pdf)
+is pinned to SHA-256
+`5cb80973326ef8b625fbaae70d80b0c641ce5d2b3911abd2fb4427abd5908a6f`.
+The dividend domain also comes from the existing pinned
+`asec_current_money_domains_v1.json`. Page numbers below are one-based PDF
+pages; positions and widths refer to the printed ASCII layout.
+
+| Field | Position / width | Page | Printed universe |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| `DIV_VAL` | 478 / 6 | 45 | `DIV_YN = 1` |
+| `DIV_YN` | 484 / 1 | 45 | Age 15+ |
+| `SUR_SC1`, `SUR_SC2` | 648 / 2, 650 / 2 | 50 | `SUR_YN = 1` |
+| `SUR_YN` | 664 / 1 | 50 | Age 15+ |
+| `I_DIVVAL` | 819 / 1 | 54 | `DIV_YN = 1` |
+| `I_DIVYN` | 820 / 1 | 54 | Age 15+ |
+| `TDIV_VAL` | 905 / 1 | 59 | `DIV_VAL > 0` |
+| `TRNT_VAL` | 917 / 1 | 60 | `RNT_VAL > 0` |
+
+## Dividend values and source flags
+
+The projection preserves the exact `DIV_VAL_literal`, parsed
+`DIV_VAL_published_amount`, literal and reporting statuses, and a separate
+`DIV_VAL_amount_known` mask. `DIV_VAL_amount` contains only the values whose
+reporting status is resolved. An in-universe receipt-yes and positive amount
+is known; receipt-no and zero establish known nonreceipt. Receipt-yes and
+zero remain ambiguous because the dictionary combines none and NIU in its
+zero code. Missing literals, NIU and contradictory combinations retain
+their source evidence and an unknown canonical amount. No analytical zero
+is inferred solely from age.
+
+Source flags never change this knownness or select donors. A known published
+cell can still have publisher allocation or topcoding metadata. It is not a
+claim about an uncensored latent amount or a respondent-only report.
+`I_DIVVAL` refers to the allocation meanings under `I_ANNVAL` on page 53.
+`TDIV_VAL` and `TRNT_VAL` retain codes 0 (not topcoded) and 1 (topcoded),
+including missing or malformed flags. `TRNT_VAL` is retained only for future
+diagnostics: this qualifier does not read `RNT_VAL` or evaluate that flag's
+positive-rent universe.
+
+The dictionary is internally inconsistent for `I_DIVYN`: its header prints
+0–1, while its Values section refers to the `I_ANNVAL` codes 0–9. The result
+preserves the literal and code, physical syntax status, separate
+`I_DIVYN_header_range_status` and `I_DIVYN_referenced_values_status`, and an
+explicit `I_DIVYN_codebook_status`. Codes 2–9 therefore retain the conflict;
+they are not silently dropped or admitted under a preferred interpretation.
+
+## Survivor source routes
+
+`SUR_YN`, `SUR_SC1` and `SUR_SC2` each retain raw literals, parsed codes,
+literal status and source labels. Code 8 identifies regular payments from
+estates or trusts. It signals a possible property-income overlap, without
+establishing an amount or tax classification. Code 10 means other or don't
+know: its literal is valid, but its property route remains unspecified.
+
+`survivor_property_route_clear` is nullable. It is true only for an
+in-universe known receipt-no with both source slots NIU, or receipt-yes with
+every slot readable, at least one active slot, and neither code 8 nor code
+10. Receipt-yes with an explicit code 8 sets it false. Missing or unreadable
+receipts, unresolved slots, contradictory nonreceipt routes, NIU and code 10
+leave it unknown. Under-15 rows remain unknown; incomplete under-15 literals
+are labeled unresolved rather than contradictory. Independent booleans
+retain the presence of codes 8 and 10 even when the receipt is unresolved.
+
+This clearance describes the recorded source routes. It does not establish
+that the person has no property income. No survivor amount is captured, no
+donor exclusion is applied, and a missing slot is never an observed zero
+amount. A later measurement bridge must explicitly choose and validate how
+these routes affect donor eligibility.
+
+## Retained source boundaries
+
+The qualifier borrows the original authenticated survey preparation and its
+retained native ASEC/current-money owner. Before capture it checks the live
+money domain against the pinned dividend contract. The domain reader
+requires a unique field and current vintage, refuses unsupported negative,
+missing-code or zero semantics, and caches only immutable values. Public
+entry mappings are detached on every call.
+
+The exact member's archive and member digests, row count and byte count
+must agree with the retained owner. A single bounded capture is checked
+again after reading. All current-year native keys, original household and
+person-line coordinates, and source ages are joined before selection.
+`DIV_VAL` validity and every valid float64 bit must match the actual money
+owner, including people omitted from the selected survey. Original
+`DIV_VAL_parent_statuses`, `DIV_VAL_parent_validity` and
+`DIV_VAL_parent_zero_origin` remain in the projection.
+
+`CurrentAsecDividendValues(person, asec_literals, evidence)` is descriptive
+transport. `person` is indexed by `person_id` and includes `native_person_id`
+and `source_age`; `asec_literals` retains the complete current-year literal
+table indexed by native person ID. `dividend_values_seal(values)` covers
+both tables, their axes, exact float bits, nullable masks and backing
+storage, and detached evidence. The qualifier rechecks the original
+preparation after source I/O and verifies the complete seal before return.
+
+Consumers must retain and requalify the actual preparation before
+consumption and after their last relevant I/O, and compare the complete
+values seal. Matching JSON, a copied dataclass or a digest does not grant
+source authority. No host, graph attachment, tax leaf, source issuer,
+original/PUF clone change or release gate is added here.

+# Property income model graph
+
+`microcosm.build.us_runtime.graph_property_income.property_income_nodes`
+declares ten numerical nodes: four conditional QRF fits, four chained draws,
+one operation that writes the raw draws as columns, and one signed
+reconciliation. It uses the existing QRF and reconciliation implementations.
+The fragment consumes separately supplied original donor and recipient
+populations; it does not qualify native sources or attach results to clones.
+
+The shared columns in `property_income_constants.py` describe ordinary
+interest, retirement-account interest, dividends and signed broad property
+receipts. The first three are nonnegative; broad property receipts may be
+negative. `property_reported_total` is a required predictor and the recipient
+reconciliation anchor. The source bridge supplies the ASEC reported aggregate
+for donors and the adjusted ACS INTP amount for recipients. It must preserve
+their different reference periods and account for unresolved income routes.
+
+The training wrapper requires finite float64 predictors and components,
+original DESIGN weights, and a component sum equal to the supplied donor
+aggregate. It delegates actual fitting to `LegacyQRFTrainKernel`; it does not
+filter, repair or reconcile donor observations. The owning source preparation
+must establish original household membership, design-weight mapping, eligible
+donor support and source knownness before invoking this fragment. A weight
+kind label alone does not establish original source authority.
+
+Recipient draws preserve the complete target order and earlier raw draws as
+conditioning inputs. The column operation binds every raw value to its apply
+checkpoint, exact recipient index, sibling producer, and final model history.
+The graph executor supplies the authenticated artifact edges. Direct calls or
+copied checkpoint bytes do not authorize source or model admission. Person IDs
+remain int64 independently of the pandas index used by QRF checkpoints.
+
+Reconciliation retains raw draws in separate `draw_` columns and exposes each
+component's adjustment, active bound, residual and objective. Scales and
+tolerances are required parameters. Changing them recomputes reconciliation;
+changing recipient anchors recomputes recipient draws while reusing donor fits.
+Negative or zero net income never forces all positive components to zero:
+positive interest and a property loss can coexist at either total.
+
+Missing anchors and under-15 source blanks require an explicit upstream
+decision; this fragment does not manufacture zeros. Original ASEC observations
+are not reconciled to ACS respondents. The next country integration must join
+the complete source-qualified basis, draw once per original ACS person, retain
+the result on both initial clones, and derive the declared tax splits before
+running the dependent PUF successor. Retirement-account earnings are not
+ordinary taxable/exempt interest. Broad property receipts are not yet a
+rental-income tax leaf. PUF-owned alternatives must not subsequently be forced
+back onto the survey anchor.
+
+The initial invented test uses 44 donor persons and four recipients, including
+negative/zero totals, large int64 identities, original membership, metadata and
+a zero-weight household. It executes the real twelve-node graph including two
+source nodes, compares draws with direct weighted QRF, compares reconciled
+values with the pure projection and reopens the store in required-cache mode.
+Twenty-one tests also cover dependency reuse, incorrect weight kinds,
+unknown/inconsistent donors, altered draw history and invalid declarations.
+They establish numerical and graph contracts, not native source acceptance,
+statistical adequacy, tax correctness or release readiness.

+# ASEC amount-domain contracts
+
+The current income-routing, interest and child-support qualifiers read monetary
+definitions from the pinned `asec_current_money_domains_v1.json` artifact.
+Their public amount-entry functions return detached mappings. Routing and
+interest cache immutable tuples privately; child support caches immutable JSON
+bytes and reconstructs its nested evidence on each call. Replacing an entry,
+clearing a returned mapping or editing nested child-support metadata cannot
+change a later caller's definitions. The public mapping and evidence shapes
+remain unchanged.
+
+Each relevant field must occur exactly once and contain exactly one vintage for
+the current income year. Its dictionary spelling, URL and digest must match the
+qualifier's source pin. Missing or duplicate entries refuse qualification.
+
+The interest total and child-support parsers accept unsigned integer literals.
+They explicitly require the corresponding artifact domains to describe
+nonnegative integer dollars, with the supported zero and NIU meanings, no
+additional missing-value codes or excluded dollar values, and consistent
+encoded, dollar and printed ranges. Bounds remain artifact-derived. Re-pinning
+an artifact with an unsupported domain requires a parser change and its own
+review; it cannot silently change the interpretation of those literals.
+
+Before capturing the original source member, each qualifier compares its
+relevant amount definitions with the actual retained current-money owner's
+`MoneyDomain` entries. Names must be unique; entity, grain, native column,
+bounds and zero semantics must agree. Interest checks the retained `INT_VAL`
+total. Its additional ordinary and retirement-account components retain their
+separate published definitions. Child support checks both `CSP_VAL` and
+`CHSP_VAL`; routing checks its existing nine fields.
+
+These checks preserve the existing source meanings. In particular, a
+`CHSP_YN` answer describes an obligation, and neither a no-obligation answer nor
+an NIU paid amount establishes zero voluntary payments. Receipt, reporting,
+allocation and top-code classifications are unchanged. The changes add no
+model, canonical engine input, source issuer or native-data admission.
+
+Validation used invented mutations of the public domain artifact and actual
+invented source-owner fixtures: 73 new domain/cache controls, 88 routing tests,
+40 interest tests, 10 allocation tests and 40 child-support tests passed under
+the existing bounded source guard. The new controls first reproduced 65
+failures against the prior implementation. These results certify the tested
+source contracts, not a native dataset or release.

+# ASEC property donor basis
+
+`build_asec_property_basis` is a pure operation over the selected, qualified ASEC
+person descriptions. It does not qualify a source, issue a handle, read files,
+fit a model or assign tax leaves. The owning country host retains the actual
+preparation and source owners, checks them before consumption and requalifies
+and checks their complete seals after its last relevant I/O before return or
+export. Reconstructing the descriptive input or output dataclasses grants no
+source authority.
+
+## Inputs and outputs
+
+The keyword-only inputs are the `person` tables from the current interest,
+income-routing and dividend/survivor qualifiers, named `interest`,
+`income_routing` and `dividend`. Every table must have the same exact ordered
+`person_id` index, matching unique `native_person_id` values and matching source
+ages. Both ID axes are int64. Source ages may use different numeric storage
+but must be finite, integer-valued ages 0–99 and equal without tolerance. No
+sorting or inner join repairs a mismatch. A common row permutation is valid;
+permuting one source alone refuses.
+
+`original_household_membership` is an int64 Series on that exact person index.
+`original_household_design_weights` is a finite, nonnegative Series indexed by
+unique int64 `household_id`, with exactly the membership's household set.
+Extra, missing or duplicated household keys refuse. These inputs must be the
+original household design mapping, before importance allocation or cloning;
+this pure operation cannot authenticate that origin. Zero-weight persons are
+retained. No engine or microsimulation aggregation occurs.
+
+The descriptive `AsecPropertyBasis` contains:
+
+- `person`: the component values, reported total, discrepancies, named retirement
+  derivations, original household mapping and the two eligibility masks.
+- `provenance`: detached copies of all three supplied qualified tables, with
+  `interest.`, `income_routing.` and `dividend.` prefixes. Published amounts,
+  unknownness, allocation and disclosure indicators are preserved independently.
+- `exclusions`: independent reasons for exclusion on the complete person axis.
+  A person can have multiple reasons; reason totals must not be summed as a
+  disjoint partition.
+- `summary`: counts and original design-weight mass for the whole cohort, each
+  eligibility mask, the joint-fit complement and each exclusion reason.
+
+The shared names live in `property_income_constants.py`. `PROPERTY_COMPONENTS`
+is, in order, `property_ordinary_interest`, `property_retirement_interest`,
+`property_dividends`, `property_broad_receipts`. `PROPERTY_REPORTED_TOTAL` names
+`property_reported_total`. They are donor observations or named routing
+contributions, never already-reconciled model draws.
+
+## Measurement bridge
+
+Ordinary interest uses qualified `TRDINT_VAL`; dividends use qualified
+`DIV_VAL`; broad signed property receipts use qualified `RNT_VAL`. The latter
+is not a pure rental-income tax leaf. Dividends need a qualified yes/positive
+or no/zero receipt. A receipt-yes zero for dividends or signed property stays
+unknown under the published none-or-NIU coding.
+
+Retirement-account interest uses the two qualified account slots. Known no
+with both slots NIU and zero supplies the already-qualified zero contributions.
+Known yes requires at least one declared account with a known positive amount.
+Every other slot must be another known positive account or an explicitly unused
+slot: readable account code 0, published amount 0, in-range amount literal and
+`unreported_account_slot` source status. The latter contributes a **derived**
+zero and gets its own boolean, slot count and derivation label. Its original
+canonical amount stays unknown in provenance. An amount zero by itself,
+a declared account with unknown/zero amount, yes without any active account,
+a missing code, or contradictory receipt/account evidence does not resolve the
+retirement total. The derivation applies only when the complete route resolves.
+
+The reported donor total is separately retained as `INT_VAL + DIV_VAL + RNT_VAL`.
+The component sum uses ordinary plus retirement-account interest, dividends and
+broad property receipts. Both `interest_component_discrepancy` and
+`reported_minus_component_total` remain visible, with signed magnitudes. No
+balancing rewrites an ASEC observation. Allocation never filters the donor fit.
+Disclosure flags do not prove the cause of a discrepancy.
+
+Other-income clearance requires known nonreceipt with a NIU category, or a
+readable reported category outside property codes 5–8 and unspecified code 19.
+A reported outside category resolves its route even if its own dollar amount
+is ambiguous; no other-income amount is included in this basis. Missing,
+unreadable or contradictory routing stays unresolved. Survivor clearance uses
+the dividend qualifier's nullable clearance and checks agreement with its
+readable codes: known no with NIU slots, or known yes with at least one active
+source and every slot outside estate/trust code 8 and unspecified code 10.
+Possible property overlaps and unknown routes have different exclusion reasons.
+Neither other income nor survivor amounts enter the component or reported sum.
+
+`reported_total_eligible` requires age 15+, a known finite reported total, and
+clear other-income and survivor routes. It is a diagnostic sample, not a second
+aggregate model. `joint_component_fit_eligible` additionally requires all four
+components and an exactly zero interest discrepancy. Missing or under-15 values
+are never turned into analytic zeros. Negative and zero net totals remain valid:
+`(100, 20, 0, -120)` has total zero and keeps both positive interest components.
+
+The summary reports `design_weighted_person_mass` (one mapped original household
+design weight per selected person) separately from `union_household_design_mass`
+(each household with at least one selected person counted once). Overlapping
+selection groups can share household mass. Stable finite summation avoids
+row-order-dependent loss of small weights. These are coverage diagnostics, not
+calibrated population claims. Conditional donor support, bias from exclusions
+and held-out model quality still need the model owner's diagnostics.
+
+## Source and acceptance boundaries
+
+The source contracts use the pinned
+[2025 ASEC dictionary](https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/cps/datasets/2025/march/asec2025_ddl_pub_full.pdf)
+(SHA256 `5cb80973326ef8b625fbaae70d80b0c641ce5d2b3911abd2fb4427abd5908a6f`).
+The bridge targets the broad property concept in the
+[2024 ACS questionnaire](https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/acs/methodology/questionnaires/2024/quest24.pdf#page=18).
+The live ACS guide follows the 2025 form; its retirement-interest wording and
+the historical 2016 Census methods discussion corroborate the concept without
+establishing vintage or respondent identity. ASEC calendar-year and ACS
+rolling-year measurement remain different. Broad property routing and
+retirement-account earnings remain distinct from taxability.
+
+The bounded tests use invented tables and a composition test through the real
+pure source projectors using invented literals. They cover both identity axes,
+permutations, missing/contradictory routes, unknown account slots, signed and
+zero-net examples, separate masks, allocation preservation, weight mapping,
+empty/zero-weight records and refusal of malformed/nonfinite descriptions.
+They do not run source qualification, native data, the country model, fitting,
+cloning or replay. The later graph owns joint draws and signed reconciliation;
+the later host must preserve original ASEC observations and share survey draws
+across original/PUF clone pairs before the PUF alternative takes ownership.

+# Original property-income source composition
+
+`qualify_current_property_income_sources` composes the source branches for the
+property-income model. It borrows the existing shared-predictor preparation,
+qualifies the original ACS anchors and ASEC interest, income-routing and
+dividend/survivor observations, and applies the reviewed pure ASEC donor basis.
+It fits no model, supplies no tax split and performs no clone attachment.
+
+The arguments match the existing shared predictor boundary: the actual
+preparation, allocated population and clone population, with optional shared
+demographic conditioning and geography configuration. The allocated/clone
+objects satisfy that existing ownership contract. Their weights never supply
+the donor weights. All donor membership and DESIGN weights come from the
+original source Frame selected by the shared qualifier.
+
+The result is descriptive `QualifiedPropertyIncomeSources`. Its source values,
+source Frame and full origin document are retained for inspection and later
+source/clone joins. The object has no issuer registry and cannot replace the
+actual retained preparation. The complete descriptive seal is a mutation
+check, not a credential. Downstream owners must qualify before consumption
+and after their last relevant I/O before returning or exporting a successor.
+
+## Selected branches
+
+`donor_frame` is the original ASEC DESIGN Frame restricted to jointly eligible
+persons, with referenced groups pruned by the existing Frame selector.
+`donor_columns` contains the qualified shared features, reported property total
+feature and four original components. It uses the same exact ordered person
+IDs as that branch. The four component columns and reported total import their
+canonical names from `property_income_constants.py`.
+
+`recipient_frame` selects original ACS persons with a finite, known adult INTP
+anchor. `recipient_columns` contains the same shared features plus the qualified
+ADJINC-adjusted anchor under the reported-total feature name. The existing
+recipient matrix codec preserves their ordered identities and float64 bits.
+`recipient_matrix` is the encoded matrix. Source AGEP and canonical shared
+feature age remain distinguishable; no raw age is overwritten by the feature.
+Shared earnings features preserve the existing qualifier's declared NIU operator;
+this composition adds no new zero completion for earnings or property anchors.
+
+Adding these model columns to a graph population is a later visible graph
+operation. The selected Frames themselves keep all original source columns,
+weights, memberships, strata and metadata. The source composition does not
+quietly change a Frame's tax leaves or model columns.
+
+The complete original selected source axis is never reduced in `origins` or
+`source_frame`. `origin_document` preserves all original entity origin records;
+`donor_basis` contains every original ASEC row's component knownness, provenance,
+exclusions and design-weight summaries. `recipient_diagnostics` preserves every
+selected ACS row's raw literals and parsed anchor metadata, plus separate
+under-15 and unknown-anchor exclusions and the eligible-recipient mask.
+
+An empty eligible branch has an empty indexed columns table and `None` for
+its Frame, and no recipient matrix when no ACS recipient is eligible. Complete
+diagnostics remain available. The existing Frame selector and matrix codec
+require nonempty inputs; the composition does not manufacture a record or zero
+to satisfy them. A later model host must refuse fitting an empty branch or make
+an explicitly reviewed completion decision.
+
+## Exact identity and lifetime
+
+The complete shared source Frame, its origins and the original preparation's
+person origin records must agree in order, source channel and native identity.
+Each ASEC qualifier must exactly match the selected ASEC person and native-ID
+axes; the pure basis also checks their source ages. ACS anchors must match the
+selected original ACS axis. Donor feature and recipient matrix axes are checked
+before selection. No sorting, inner join or missing-key fill hides a mismatch.
+
+The donor household design weights are mapped by exact original membership.
+Their person mapping must match the original Frame's resolved DESIGN weights;
+importance or clone weights are never substituted. This is source construction,
+not engine microsimulation aggregation.
+
+Each initial qualifier's complete physical description is sealed as soon as it
+returns, and checked while subsequent qualifiers do I/O. After pure composition,
+all five original source qualifications are repeated and compared to those
+seals. Every returned value, including nullable data beneath missing masks,
+is checked throughout. The actual preparation is then rechecked after the last
+qualifier's I/O. The final checks are pure: retained issuer identity, nested
+original source Frames, allocated/clone support, the exact optional geography
+configuration payload and all complete derived seals.
+
+The income-routing qualifier has no standalone physical-seal API, so this
+composition uses the existing full table-stamp helper over its complete person
+and original-literal tables plus evidence. Existing shared/ACS/interest/dividend
+seal APIs are reused directly. No source-reader implementation or new authority
+framework is introduced.
+
+## Verification scope
+
+The invented fixture creates closed source bytes before issuance, then executes
+the actual survey source graph and source composition. It includes a negative
+ACS anchor, malformed adult anchor, under-15 blank anchor, a resolved ASEC
+ordinary/retirement-interest route, and excluded ASEC overlap/unknown cases.
+Controls check ordered axes, weight kind, adjusted bits, all returned seal
+surfaces and copied preparation refusal. A separate injected mutation isolates
+the final original-source I/O fence using previously checked descriptive values;
+it does not claim another complete source replay.
+
+These checks run without native microdata, QRF, PUF or a country engine. Model
+quality, donor conditional support, country financial integration, both-clone
+fanout, replay and release acceptance remain later boundaries.
+
+The initial composition acceptance used donor basis `2c959096eec0441e2acd975e63522aac7f1b7016`.
+A subsequent primary-source review found that survivor slots 1/2 do not establish
+complete absence of estate/trust overlap: the aggregate can include sources 3/4.
+The country host must adopt the separate conservative donor-basis correction
+before using this branch for fitting. The initial test's eligible donor reports
+no survivor income, so its observed values do not rely on a yes-survivor clearance.

+# Property source and model integration
+
+12 September 2026. These are bounded code and invented-input checks. They do
+not certify a native population or a releasable dataset.
+
+The integrated property model learns four jointly drawn components from
+original ASEC household DESIGN weights: ordinary interest, retirement-account
+earnings, dividends and signed broad property receipts. A visible signed
+reconciliation operation aligns recipient components with qualified ACS INTP.
+Negative and zero net totals retain offsetting positive components and losses.
+Broad property receipts are not yet a pure rental-income tax input, and
+retirement-account earnings are not withdrawals.
+
+The source composition retains original source Frames, native identities,
+knownness, reporting routes, allocation flags and full exclusion diagnostics.
+It selects original ASEC donor persons and original ACS persons with known
+adult anchors. Model columns are separate from the selected Frames, ready for
+explicit graph operations. It does not complete unknown anchors or attach
+modeled values to clones by itself.
+
+## Accepted checks
+
+| Component | Exact implementation | Evidence |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Four-component graph | `e2e38a3c75175abfeea3b8f25f0412afb6c100fb` | 22 tests; actual weighted QRF, raw draws, signed reconciliation and required cache replay. A delegated training-implementation change invalidates the cache identity. Independent repair review approved. |
+| DIV and visible survivor routes | `90bc1bfbc2592530c8fe914f5ed60b3bc7b2e1e3` | 82 source controls; exact printed domains, unknown zeros, source joins and final ownership checks. Independent review and root hash verification approved. |
+| Conservative property donor basis | `bc278d9808e41820b175da4c1b036c283929d6d7` | 60 tests; signed observations, exact axes, source discrepancies, explicit unused-slot derivation and weighted exclusions. Independent review approved. |
+| Original source composition | `9bc5932af214881bcc7931cda2847fab60163dfa` | 21 controls on the owner's freeze and 21 again after integrating the corrected basis and hardened source domains. The latter ran in 47.82 seconds with 516,046,848 bytes peak RSS. Root source, test and receipt review approved. |
+
+The integrated source fixture executed the actual four-stage survey graph:
+CREATE, allocation, complete initial support cloning and ownership attachment.
+It had 9 original persons in 6 households, 18 cloned persons, 1 eligible ASEC
+donor and 3 eligible ACS recipients. It ran no QRF, PUF or country engine.
+The separate graph tests above establish numerical graph execution, not a
+completed country host combining those two pieces.
+
+The integrated source receipt is
+`8fef8af66c88f701d2f62422f8513b92e28a2626af4a9fc8481eb96fc32cdf96`;
+its XML is
+`8164608b6d96ea492a133f11f560ee1c688f0524198c4614d1e4ac6ce4aa4ae9`.
+All 1,017 frozen source files and 15 explicitly admitted resources remained
+unchanged; no unexpected guarded access occurred.
+
+The complete module inventory and existing source/metadata scanners passed
+on the nine affected modules. Only actual source joins receive original-source
+access classification. The pure basis, fiscal policy and numerical graph do
+not. Literal and accessor checks still reject injected source-channel reads
+in the two modules with reviewed dynamic selectors. The scoped receipt is
+`3543fa52f0440db58a6592c6dc313c54a83b6348bd2bfd42cda3bcc66f2eb828`.
+An earlier attempt to run the entire legacy source suite reached its CPU cap;
+it is preserved as incomplete, not counted as a passing full-suite run.
+
+## A source finding that changed donor selection
+
+The [2025 ASEC dictionary](https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/cps/datasets/2025/march/asec2025_ddl_pub_full.pdf#page=49)
+states that SRVS_VAL includes unedited third and fourth sources as well as
+the two edited visible slots. Therefore, two visible survivor sources outside
+estate/trust code 8 do not establish complete absence of that overlap.
+
+The first property donor bridge now requires known survivor nonreceipt with
+readable NIU slots. Positive receipts have an explicit additional-source-scope
+exclusion and design-weight mass summary. The qualifier's two-slot clearance
+remains diagnostic. No source observations are rewritten, no survivor dollars
+are assigned to a property component, and conservation of the ACS anchor is
+not presented as protection against selection bias.
+
+## Remaining integration
+
+The next stage adds these original-person components and their knownness to
+the actual pre-PUF financial graph, with one ACS draw shared across both
+initial clone rows. It will reuse the existing checked financial run owner.
+The existing tax leaves and legacy capital-gain conditioning cannot be called
+rebased until the replacement explicitly executes and passes verification.
+Pension/disability/survivor source detail, withdrawal regularity, taxability,
+missing-anchor completion and finer property tax categories remain separate
+measurement or model work.
+
+The running native pilot uses an earlier frozen financial implementation.
+It is not evidence for the newly integrated property code. Native PUF
+acceptance, applicable fiscal inputs, national/state/CD calibration, held-out
+quality checks, progressive scaling and exact full/compact exports remain
+release requirements. No publication, default promotion or deployment occurred.

+# Property model receipt verification
+
+`verify_property_model_receipts(nodes, donor_population, recipient_population,
+artifacts)` in `graph_property_income_receipts.py` reconstructs the existing
+four fit and four apply receipt dictionaries. The caller passes the ordered
+property fragment, the two original `Population` branches, and authenticated
+artifact bytes keyed by `(node_id, output_name)`. Additional non-model fragment
+nodes and their artifacts may be present; the country host verifies those.
+
+The caller must first bind the store bytes, typed producer outputs and exact
+population dependencies. This helper loads the existing trusted model format,
+which contains pickle. A self-consistent digest or a returned receipt does not
+authenticate arbitrary model bytes or establish source authority. The owning
+host retains responsibility for source qualification, complete population
+identity, physical seals, borrowed inputs and final I/O checks.
+
+## Checks
+
+The helper reconstructs the shared graph declarations for the four ordered
+property targets and compares their complete normative bytes. This binds input
+slices, population versions, predictors, target order, seed, phase, fit options,
+model/training sibling edges, prior raw-draw edges and output artifact types.
+Training stays donor-only. The existing model protocol initializes its exact
+chain-start state against the original design-weight donor without fitting.
+Each trusted model must match the complete ordered training history, actual
+consumed float64 donor bytes, donor pandas index, resolved weights, configuration
+and preceding/succeeding training states. The first three property components
+remain nonnegative and the four-component sum must equal the observed donor
+aggregate. Both branches require finite float64 model columns and unique int64
+person IDs.
+
+Ordinary population apply checkpoints have a pandas-index identity but no
+independent recipient-feature digest. The verifier therefore performs four
+additional `apply_target` operations using the retained fitted models, current
+recipient features, raw prefix and exact initial draw RNG. It compares the
+resulting raw bytes and complete application states with the published
+artifacts. It validates every model/raw hash in the ordered application history.
+It never calls `fit_target` or a model-fitting convenience method.
+
+This replay establishes output consistency with the supplied feature values;
+a model can produce the same output for different inputs. Exact feature and
+person-ID provenance remains the caller's authenticated population binding.
+The existing protocol uses pandas row labels for model state and raw draws;
+the verifier does not substitute entity IDs or invent a new identity digest.
+Graph owners must continue to bind the distinct int64 person axis themselves.
+
+## Scope and cost
+
+The return value uses the existing raw kernel receipt schema; the host adds and
+checks the executor capability/input-writer envelope through its existing
+`_states` path. It adds no status,
+source issuer, receipt artifact type, model format or host framework. The
+helper does not fit, reconcile, attach clones, assign tax treatment or modify
+its input frames. Cost per call is one chain initialization, four trusted model
+decodes and four deterministic apply replays over the recipient branch. The
+owning host decides when to perform this validation; no native-scale runtime
+claim follows from the small tests.
+
+Tests reuse the actual twelve-node property graph fixture with two trees,
+44 invented donor persons, four recipient persons, non-default pandas row
+labels, int64 IDs above `2**53` and zero-weight records. Original cold and
+required-cache kernel receipts match the verifier. Separate controls alter
+donor/recipient axes and values, design weights, graph declarations, model and
+training bytes, model/raw history and draw RNG. Country engines, native sources,
+the full PUF host and publication are outside these checks.

+# Current survey property-income graph
+
+The opt-in `graph_current_survey_property.py` fragment adds 16 operations to the existing US financial graph. It puts qualified ASEC components and modeled ACS components on the complete initial clone pair. The country financial host retains the original source owners, verifies every graph observation and artifact, and issues the result. The fragment creates no separate issuance registry.
+
+`PropertyIncomeOptions(scales=..., atol=..., rtol=..., n_estimators=...)` requires all four settings. The options object is frozen and has a canonical `to_bytes()` representation. No numeric modeling default is supplied. The first three components are nonnegative; broad property receipts can be signed. A negative or zero anchor can coexist with positive components and an offsetting negative broad-property component.
+
+## Visible operations
+
+| Operation | Meaning |
+| --- | --- |
+| `survey_property.source_projection` | Bind the actual qualified property composition, the existing financial predictor projection/matrix, original host artifacts, and geography validation when present. Emit a projection and exact donor/recipient matrices. |
+| `survey_property.asec_eligible_donor` | Filter the original CREATE by the exact eligible ASEC person IDs. Preserve original household DESIGN weights, including their person mapping. |
+| `survey_property.asec_donor_columns` | Materialize shared predictor columns, reported total, and four qualified components. |
+| `survey_property.acs_eligible_recipient` | Filter original CREATE to ACS persons whose source anchor is known and in the adult reporting universe. |
+| `survey_property.acs_recipient_columns` | Materialize shared predictors and adjusted INTP as the reported-total feature. |
+| `survey_property.fit.000`–`.003` | Fit the existing DESIGN-weighted chained QRF over the four components. |
+| `survey_property.apply.000`–`.003` | Draw once per eligible original ACS person, preserving ordered prior-component conditioning. |
+| `survey_property.draws` | Retain raw draws and their complete model/application history. |
+| `survey_property.reconcile` | Apply the shared signed-total reconciliation rule with the explicit scales and tolerances. |
+| `survey_property.attach` | Join original source identities to both initial clones and retain all existing rows, entities, weights, geography, metadata, and legacy financial leaves. |
+
+Both model branches leave CREATE before importance allocation. Their FILTER operations return person keep masks, preserving actual raw source columns. Shared predictor materialization, including the existing analytical treatment of ACS earnings NIU, happens through declared column operations. The FILTER does not substitute the separately prepared feature frame for CREATE.
+
+The projection binds complete descriptive physical seals, including unknown masks and excluded rows, not just the finite fitting matrices. It carries the donor exclusion summary and recipient exclusion counts. No excluded person silently becomes a zero-valued donor or recipient. Empty eligible donor or recipient branches are currently refused before fitting; an empty-branch execution policy is not implemented.
+
+## Attachment and knownness
+
+The attachment owns the four `property_*` components, their four `draw_property_*` columns, `property_reported_total`, reconciliation adjustments, nullable active-bound diagnostics, residual and objective, two source-basis discrepancy columns, and two knownness flags. `owned_columns()` is the authoritative roster.
+
+ASEC persons retain each individually qualified component and reported total, including NaN for an unresolved value. Donor exclusion does not erase otherwise known amounts. The source-basis discrepancies remain available, and the complete source qualification/exclusion descriptions stay bound to the projection. ASEC raw-draw and reconciliation diagnostics are absent because no draw or reconciliation is performed on these observations.
+
+Eligible ACS persons receive one ordered joint draw and its reconciled components. Their original `person_id` and pandas row index are checked separately, then the original support ID, native source ID, source label, and exact clone roles establish the two-row fan-out. Excluded ACS persons receive NaN for model components and the attached anchor, with false `property_anchor_known` and `property_components_known`. Their original source anchor status remains in the qualified source projection; under-15 values are not silently converted into a new analytical zero.
+
+`property_anchor_known` describes the attached anchor's finite value. `property_components_known` describes all four attached components being finite; it is distinct from eligibility for donor fitting. Reconciliation bound flags use nullable booleans so an unperformed reconciliation does not become a false observation.
+
+## Tax and period boundaries
+
+The eight existing financial tax leaves remain unchanged. Attachment reads all eight and explicitly follows the legacy financial attachment, checks them against its retained draw history, then adds property columns. The legacy capital-gains chain still conditions on legacy INT and DIV draws. The receipt records `tax_split_rebased: false` and the capital-gains limitation. `property_legacy_interest_draw_minus_reconciled_interest` measures the legacy ACS interest draw minus the reconciled ordinary plus retirement interest; it is a diagnostic, not a new tax assignment.
+
+Broad property receipts are not identified with rental income or a tax-law leaf. Retirement-account earnings are not retirement withdrawals. Tax-leaf rebasing and a CAP model conditioned on reconciled components require a separate declared successor.
+
+Periods remain those of the qualified sources: ASEC 2025 interview and calendar-2024 income; ACS 2024 rolling prior twelve months, adjusted by ADJINC to the declared price basis. No equivalence of the reporting windows is asserted. The person-level conditional chain is not a certification of household-level dependence or held-out fit quality.
+
+## Host integration and verification
+
+- `current_survey_property_nodes(qualified, clone_frame, host_pins=..., options=...)` declares the fragment.
+- `register_property_kernels(...)` registers the country and shared numerical kernels over the retained source owners.
+- `reconstruct_property_results(..., artifacts=..., legacy_matrix_producer_key=...)` returns eight expected non-fit results: projection, two filters, two model-column operations, draws, reconciliation, and attachment. The host patches these at their declared population versions and checks actual observations. The separate model-receipt verifier binds the eight fit/apply receipts to actual donor/recipient populations and stored model bytes.
+- `verify_materialized_property_income(..., legacy_population=..., population=...)` requalifies actual source owners and compares the full final population against attachment applied to the independently checked legacy population.
+
+Reconstruction validates the complete ordered raw-draw history, training-model references, recipient index, person IDs and summaries. It invokes the existing deterministic reconciliation rule to derive the expected reconciliation columns; it never fits or draws another model. Store artifact type, producer-key and key validation remains a prerequisite owned by the host. The host must retain its existing final source, implementation, cache, full-population and issuance checks after relevant I/O.
+
+Changing only scales affects the reconciliation and attachment declarations, leaving source selection and QRF fitting declarations unchanged. The absence of property options in a host call preserves the existing strict legacy path. Graph replay validates cached output observations as well as labels; a cache hit is not source admission or a release verdict.

+"""Opt-in property components on the complete initial survey clone frame.

+The existing country host retains source authority and issues its financial
+run. These nodes borrow that owner's sources; neither options nor descriptive
+projections are an admission token. Legacy tax leaves and their CAP chain remain
+unchanged. Broad property receipts and retirement-account earnings are not tax

+# Current survey property-income host
+
+`run_atomic_survey_financial` can append the current property-income graph to
+the existing financial composition. Pass an explicit `PropertyIncomeOptions`
+through `property_income`; omitting it retains the nineteen-node path.
+
+```python
+from microcosm.build.us_runtime.graph_atomic_survey_financial import (
+    run_atomic_survey_financial,
+)
+from microcosm.build.us_runtime.graph_current_survey_property import (
+    PropertyIncomeOptions,
+)
+
+options = PropertyIncomeOptions(
+    scales=(1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0),
+    atol=1e-10,
+    rtol=1e-12,
+    n_estimators=2,
+)
+run = run_atomic_survey_financial(
+    **source_arguments,
+    geography_config=atomic_geography,
+    property_income=options,
+    n_estimators=2,
+    return_values=True,
+)
+checked = run.checked_view()
+```
+
+The small tree counts above are development settings. The caller supplies the
+existing authenticated source arguments and atomic geography configuration.
+They are not replaced by a downloaded graph, a detached Frame or a receipt.
+
+The thirty-five-node composition consists of the nine-node survey, clone and
+atomic-geography prefix; ten existing financial nodes; and sixteen property
+nodes. The new branches select eligible original ASEC donors and original ACS
+recipients before allocation. Four ordered, DESIGN-weighted conditional models
+produce raw component draws, followed by reconciliation to a known adult ACS
+property-income anchor. An explicit attachment carries each original result to
+both initial clones. Original ASEC components remain separately qualified even
+when that person is excluded from fitting. See the
+[fragment contract](us-current-survey-property-graph.md).
+
+The output adds 24 component, raw-draw, diagnostic and knownness columns. It
+preserves the complete preceding financial population: other columns, entity
+membership, geography, schema, metadata, weights, strata, ownership and mass
+history. Missing source anchors and unresolved components retain missing
+values and explicit knownness. This mode does not infer property-income zeros
+for children outside the survey question's universe.
+
+The runner retains both the preceding and extended populations. Before issuance,
+execution and required cache replay verify property model training against the
+original donor and replay four applications against actual recipient features.
+Later issued-run checks requalify the existing source owners, validate the legacy
+financial output, reconstruct the complete extended population and check the
+verified model artifacts' byte identities. They do not refit or reapply the
+models. Copied public result dataclasses have no run authority. See the
+[model receipt contract](us-property-model-receipts.md).
+
+This first extension leaves the eight existing financial leaves unchanged.
+Its run document therefore records `tax_split_rebased: false` and the legacy
+capital-gain model's conditioning on its earlier interest and dividend draws.
+The new property components do not yet establish coherent replacement tax
+inputs. A later rebase must use ordinary interest rather than account earnings,
+preserve separately known ASEC observations, and explicitly complete any
+required unknown inputs before full PUF use.
+
+The PUF host derives its upstream node count and checks the actual final
+financial writer. Its recipient nodes read all columns of that population,
+including the new property fields, so the dependency is present in the graph.
+This interface does not establish that a native PUF run, tax rebase, calibration
+or release has passed. Candidate execution evidence belongs in `experiments/`.

+# Property-income integration in the US financial graph
+
+The existing checked financial host now accepts an explicit property-income
+configuration. Its ordinary graph remains 19 nodes. The configured graph adds
+16 operations: qualified donor and recipient projections, four conditional
+fits and draws, signed reconciliation, and attachment to the complete initial
+survey clones after atomic geography.
+
+This is development integration. It adds 24 component, draw, diagnostic and
+knownness columns while retaining the preceding eight financial leaves. It does
+not yet rebase their tax treatment, change the legacy capital-gain model's
+conditioning, complete missing original-channel inputs, or certify native data.
+
+## Independent verification
+
+The invented-source host test executed an ordinary 19-node build, an extended
+35-node build sharing the 19-node prefix, and required replay with all 35 cache
+hits. The receiving population contains 18 people in 12 households. Eight
+controls passed: default behavior, real extended execution/replay and issuance,
+complete preceding-population preservation, source/clone identity and unknowns,
+three retained-state mutation cases, and refusal of a copied run dataclass.
+
+The complete comparison includes every preceding entity table and column,
+relationships, row order, schema, geography, metadata, design and current
+weights, strata, owners and mass history. Fitting uses original design-weighted
+donors; attachment shares the resulting property values across each original
+person's two initial clones. Missing anchors and unresolved components stay
+unknown. Negative property totals remain valid where the declared signed
+component permits them.
+
+The run took 729.20 seconds and peaked at 584,957,952 bytes RSS. Source and
+resource hashes matched before and after. Its receipt SHA256 is
+`90137cd08aa151e9db92a8bc5c1c51c2448f8e3bceb6d3b54d6fdf3ff9530e23`.
+This was **eight passes and one failure**, not a fully passing suite. The PUF
+recipient test correctly refused an invalid invented Social Security observation:
+the composed fixture had made a person age 14 without blanking that question.
+The guard also denied a metadata lookup of its own error-output path during
+failure formatting. Neither exception has been relabelled as a clean run.
+
+The fixture correction blanks that exact person's income literals before the
+archive, catalogue, source pins and real preparation are constructed. It changes
+no production source validator. Separate source/base/cold/required fixtures let
+the focused PUF handoff test execute one real cold graph without repeating the
+eight accepted controls. Independent review confirms their test-function bodies
+and both production files are unchanged. The targeted handoff test then passed
+through the actual source qualifier and both recipient graph declarations in
+467.14 seconds, peaking at 545,980,416 bytes RSS. All 1,022 source and 15 resource
+hashes remained identical, with no unexpected access refusals or child processes.
+Its receipt SHA256 is
+`9cd769de79b72a6e68069dc6c9f46db090d9cfe1a8e11d17e8d753a86bd5c388`.
+Independent review approves the combined scope of eight earlier controls and
+this corrected follow-up; it does not turn the earlier attempt into nine passes.
+
+## Verification and interpretation boundaries
+
+The runner checks actual training/model/raw-draw receipts against the qualified
+donor and recipient before issuing either a cold or required-replay result.
+Later checked views requalify the retained source owners and population contents
+and require those verified artifact bytes to remain identical. They do not
+perform another fit or replay the model applications. A descriptive copied
+dataclass cannot acquire execution authority.
+
+The PUF host now derives its upstream node count and final writer from the
+checked financial run. The new recipient test covers qualification and graph
+dependencies; it does not execute the complete 261-node two-route PUF graph.
+The separate ongoing native pilot uses its earlier frozen source and supplies
+no acceptance for this new extension.
+
+Next steps are a separately verified tax-input rebase, explicit completion of
+required unknown inputs, full PUF/enrichment execution, and candidate-specific
+engine, calibration, geographic-support and quality checks. The public
+[host contract](../docs/us-atomic-property-financial.md) and
+[release plan](../docs/us-uk-release-path.md) describe those remaining boundaries.

+# Current ASEC retirement details
+
+`current_asec_retirement_detail_source` qualifies pension, disability and
+survivor source details from the current ASEC member owned by an authenticated
+survey preparation. This is source evidence for a later ACS retirement bridge.
+It produces no model, tax leaf, payment-frequency classification or new issuer.
+
+## Source and field ownership
+
+The source is the [2025 ASEC public dictionary](https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/cps/datasets/2025/march/asec2025_ddl_pub_full.pdf),
+SHA256 `5cb80973326ef8b625fbaae70d80b0c641ce5d2b3911abd2fb4427abd5908a6f`,
+for calendar-year 2024 income. Page references below are physical PDF pages;
+the corresponding printed pages are 6C-23 through 6C-39.
+
+| Amount fields | Qualification |
+| --- | --- |
+| `PNSN_VAL`, `ANN_VAL`, `DST_VAL1/2`, `DST_VAL1_YNG/2_YNG` | Reuse immutable printed domains from the existing income-routing owner. Compare exact retained current-money values and validity. They remain reference observations here; their canonical receipt/account interpretation stays with that owner. |
+| `DIS_VAL1/2` | Explicit dictionary domains on page 44, also compared against actual retained current-money values and validity. |
+| `PEN_VAL1/2`, `SUR_VAL1/2`, `DSAB_VAL`, `DBTN_VAL`, `SRVS_VAL` | Independently qualify literals from the exact authenticated source member using published width, range, universe and zero semantics. These seven fields are absent from the current retained-money roster; the qualifier never fabricates a `ready.field()` for them. |
+
+The live money domains must agree with the eight existing fields. A future
+money roster containing one of the seven independent fields fails until the
+corresponding retained comparison is reviewed. The amount-entry cache contains
+immutable entries; each public call returns a detached mapping.
+
+The complete source join verifies native person keys, household IDs, person
+line numbers and source ages. Selected original ASEC persons retain their
+actual composed person IDs. No clone or PUF population is modified. The source
+literal table covers the complete current source roster; the person table
+covers selected ASEC persons.
+
+## Knownness and comparisons
+
+`PEN_YN`, `DIS_YN` and `SUR_YN` are separate from their two source codes and
+amounts (pages 44–45, 47 and 49–50). A positive readable amount is canonical
+only with a valid positive source code and yes receipt. A no receipt, NIU source
+slot and zero amount yields explicitly derived known nonreceipt. A yes receipt
+with a declared source and zero amount stays ambiguous. A yes receipt with a
+zero source slot and amount stays unreported, not an observed analytical zero.
+Missing, malformed, out-of-range and contradictory values stay distinct.
+
+People under 15 never acquire analytical zeros. Unreadable outside-universe
+answers stay unresolved; readable nonzero outside-universe evidence is flagged
+as contradictory. `DIS_CS` and `DIS_HP` are preserved source answers. The latter
+includes limited work as well as prevented work and does not establish the
+ACS disability-pension criterion.
+
+Four raw numerical comparisons retain total-minus-slot differences:
+
+- `PNSN_VAL - PEN_VAL1 - PEN_VAL2`;
+- `DSAB_VAL - DIS_VAL1 - DIS_VAL2`;
+- `SRVS_VAL - SUR_VAL1 - SUR_VAL2`;
+- `DBTN_VAL - DST_VAL1 - DST_VAL2`.
+
+These comparisons include readable published none/NIU zeros; they are not
+proof of analytical completeness. Missing or malformed components produce an
+unknown comparison. No difference is allocated to a pension, taxable income
+or missing source. `DBTN_VAL` is retirement distributions, not disability, and
+its printed formula uses the main slots rather than young-person slots.
+
+`SRVS_VAL` includes edited sources 1/2 and unedited sources 3/4 (page 49).
+Its visible pair is therefore never declared exhaustive. Source labels retain
+Railroad Retirement, estate/trust, annuity and unspecified categories without
+assigning them to an ACS aggregate. In particular, positive survivor receipt
+with two visible non-property routes does not prove the absence of additional
+estate/trust income.
+
+Allocation and top-code flags preserve their own published domains. Source
+allocation flags with values 0/1/9 do not acquire all intermediate header-range
+values. `I_SURVL2` retains its printed `SURV_VAL2` universe spelling. Allocation
+does not invalidate an otherwise observed amount; a disclosure flag does not
+explain a particular component discrepancy by itself.
+
+## Why the ACS bridge remains separate
+
+The [2024 ACS questionnaire, question 43g](https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/acs/methodology/questionnaires/2024/quest24.pdf#page=18)
+asks about regular account withdrawals, while [ASEC Q98Ar](https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/cps/techdocs/cpsmar25.pdf#page=205)
+asks about any withdrawal/distribution. “Regular IRA” is an account label, not
+payment frequency. Account type alone does not establish taxability. The
+qualifier assigns neither regularity nor tax treatment and makes no ACS
+retirement-component allocation.
+
+## API and validation boundary
+
+`project_retirement_detail_literals(DataFrame)` is a descriptive pure
+projection. `qualify_current_asec_retirement_detail(preparation)` requires the
+actual preparation and original source ownership, captures the pinned member,
+checks source identity and retained money, and requalifies the parent after
+the last source I/O. Its last checks include actual owner identity and a full
+physical result seal.
+
+`retirement_detail_values_seal(values)` covers table axes, dtypes, exact values,
+nullable Float64 backing storage and masks, literals and detached evidence.
+The returned frozen dataclass contains mutable descriptive tables and grants no
+source admission. A consuming host retains/revalidates the actual parent and
+the result at its own boundaries; a copied dataclass is not an issuer.
+
+Tests use only invented records and the real source-preparation path. They
+cover source joins, retained versus independent fields, member-byte drift,
+late parent mutation and result mutation beneath null masks. No native source
+or country engine is needed, and passing tests do not certify a release.

+# UK household identity after cloning
+
+The shared atomic-area operators need a stable household key after initial cloning. `uk_runtime.atomic_household_lineage` projects supplied original-source identities through explicit selection and expansion records, using the existing `household_draw_key` encoding. It adds no assignment algorithm, data reader, issuance registry or full-build host.
+
+A key includes the declared source, source vintage, original household ID and ordered clone path. It excludes final offset IDs, row order, sample size, calibration weights and financial values. Exact int64 IDs above `2**53` remain distinct. Original households keep their previous path; a new child appends its explicitly supplied branch ordinal. An original branch does not gain an inferred zero ordinal.
+
+## Contract
+
+`project_atomic_household_keys(roots, *, steps, final_ids)` returns a detached two-column table: int64 `household_id` and nullable-string `geography_household_key`, in the requested final order. Roots have exactly `household_id`, `source`, `source_vintage` and `source_household_id`. An empty selection is a valid description, not evidence that an empty dataset is useful or releasable.
+
+Steps are immutable descriptions:
+
+- `HouseholdExpansion(branch, before_ids, after_ids, parent_pairs, child_ordinals)` carries exact household axes, the household part of the shared executor's `receipt["expand"]`, and explicit child ordinals. The existing ordered branches are SPI support, CGT incidence, CGT band donors and geographic support. Each arriving household needs one known preceding parent and one ordinal. Two children of the same parent cannot reuse an ordinal in the same branch.
+- `HouseholdSelection(before_ids, after_ids)` explicitly removes households while preserving their keys. This supports the source-family sample between the completed source spine and geographic expansion. It does not check that the sample respected the host's family-sampling rule.
+
+Each before-axis must have exactly the previous step's household IDs. Expansion cannot remove incumbents; selection cannot add households. Unknown or null parents, repeated or reordered branches, incomplete parent/ordinal coverage, duplicate keys and a mismatched final axis refuse. Axis ordering may change, because ordering is not identity. The function never guesses ancestry from ID arithmetic, support flags or model values.
+
+## Host responsibilities
+
+These checks establish internal consistency of supplied descriptions. A dataclass, DataFrame or serialized receipt does not prove its source. The receiving host must retain and check the actual original source owner, complete before/after populations and source/EXPAND/FILTER evidence. It must authenticate the complete structural stage roster, the explicit branch-ordinal convention, and the exact final receiving household axis before and after relevant I/O. A coherent invented history can pass this pure helper; it is not an admission gate.
+
+The host can extract the household pairs from its verified shared EXPAND receipt without decoding household ID offsets. The helper returns the key column for the existing `uk_atomic_assignment_definition` and `atomic_geography_nodes` APIs. Support-byte provenance, observed-region constraints and versioned mapping relations remain separate responsibilities. Larger geographies continue to derive from the assigned atomic area.
+
+No production UK host is changed here. María's full-build graph currently uses its existing ladder draw after geographic expansion. Adopting this key and shared assignment must be coordinated in that host. The existing source stage order also interleaves enrichment before later SPI/CGT cloning; moving atomic assignment before every enrichment stage requires a separate staged migration. This helper does not claim that migration, native FRS qualification or a new UK release.
+
+## Verification scope
+
+Invented tests cover the full four-branch path, explicit selection, exact large IDs, source and ordinal changes, stable keys under row reordering and pool growth, unknown/colliding ancestry refusal and detached output. A real shared CREATE/EXPAND/FILTER graph supplies the household lineage receipt and replays from cache. Its projected keys then feed the existing seven-node atomic graph, including three system imports, assignment, derivation and its gate. That graph also completes required replay and preserves the supplied entity tables, weights, strata and metadata. No native source, private archive, country engine or external resource is used.

+# Property tax leaf rebase
+
+`graph_property_tax_leaves.py` provides three deterministic graph nodes for an
+already checked population with property components and incumbent tax leaves.
+It does not qualify sources, fit models, attach clones, grant a checked-run
+handle or wire the country/PUF host. The owning host verifies the original
+component observations, clone pairing and complete frame before using it.
+
+## Numerical operation
+
+`split_property_tax_leaves(person)` returns four float64 columns indexed by exact
+int64 `person_id`. It imports the maintained fractions from `cps_carried`:
+
+| Input component | Primary leaf | Complement leaf |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `property_ordinary_interest` (`O`) | `taxable_interest_income = O * 0.680` | `tax_exempt_interest_income = O - taxable_interest_income` |
+| `property_dividends` (`D`) | `qualified_dividend_income = D * 0.448` | `non_qualified_dividend_income = D - qualified_dividend_income` |
+
+The complement uses subtraction after computing the primary. This is a declared
+operation order, including for the dividend complement that legacy code computes
+by multiplying the complementary fraction. These fractions are modelling
+assumptions; they do not establish a person's observed tax treatment.
+
+Interest and dividend knownness are separate. A finite nonnegative input produces
+its two leaves; a missing input produces two NaNs, replacing any earlier tax
+predictions. Zero stays an observed numerical zero. A negative or infinite O/D
+input, an infinite retirement component, incompatible dtype or ambiguous person
+identity refuses. `property_retirement_interest` is retained as an auxiliary
+component and never enters either tax-interest leaf. Its missing value does not
+invalidate known O/D values. Broad property receipts, net anchor sign, source age,
+donor-fit eligibility and earlier predictions never supply missing O/D values.
+No under-15 zero completion or missing-adult prediction occurs here.
+
+## Three graph nodes
+
+Call `property_tax_leaf_nodes(frame, population=base_version,
+projection=projection_input, reconciliation=reconciliation_input, atol=...,
+rtol=...)`. Both tolerances must be explicit finite nonnegative Python floats.
+The two `ArtifactInput` aliases must be `projection` and `reconciliation`; the
+host supplies their actual producer IDs and nominal types. Register
+`PropertyTaxReceivingKernel`, `PropertyTaxLeavesKernel` and
+`PropertyTaxLeafGateKernel`.
+
+1. `survey_property.tax_receiving` opens a new population version using
+   FILTER-all. This inherits the prior owners and permits explicit replacement of
+   the four incumbent leaves. The executor adds a real FILTER conservation record
+   to the population mass ledger. It preserves the existing `Frame.mass_log`.
+2. `survey_property.tax_leaves` replaces the four leaves on that version and
+   emits `diagnostics` of type `microcosm.us.property_tax_leaf_diagnostics/v1`.
+3. `survey_property.tax_leaf_gate` recomputes the leaves and their knownness,
+   checks exact leaf bits, partition sums within the declared tolerances, and the
+   complete diagnostics payload. It emits `verification` of type
+   `microcosm.us.property_tax_leaf_verification/v1`.
+
+The gate binds ordered person IDs without floating-point conversion, current
+O/D/retirement bytes, all four leaf byte digests, fractions and operation order,
+individual knownness, and the typed projection/reconciliation artifact keys and
+payload hashes. It includes every physical person, including dependents and
+zero-weight members. `complete` is false if any person lacks O or D; a successful
+numerical check with missing inputs reports `evidence_absent`. Complete numerical
+inputs report `pass`. Neither outcome establishes source, model, tax-validity or
+release authority. The artifact explicitly leaves full-frame verification to
+the host.
+
+## Supported receiving shapes and host responsibilities
+
+`Frame.select(all)` currently refuses link tables and normalizes group indices.
+The declaration factory therefore refuses links, nondefault group indices,
+orphan groups, empty person frames and groups lacking a readable non-ID column.
+The last condition ensures the kernel context exposes group IDs for the
+receiving check. Orphans are already invalid at Frame construction; the factory
+also detects a later membership mutation. The kernel rechecks exposed group
+membership and logical group indices immediately before returning its keep mask.
+It never silently prunes a group or switches structural operation.
+
+For supported frames, person rows/order/IDs, entity tables, weights and their
+kinds, schema, strata, metadata and frame mass log are preserved, apart from the
+four declared leaf replacements. The new population version, owners and
+conservation record are intentional changes. Kernel contexts do not expose the
+complete schema, metadata or population ledger, so the host must retain and
+verify those independently. It must also qualify the complete supported shape
+before adding these nodes, bind actual artifact producers and stored payloads,
+and recheck the original owners and output after its final relevant I/O.
+
+For independent expected-result reconstruction, the host can call each kernel's
+`run(KernelContext)` on the retained current population and authenticated typed
+artifact aliases. The existing executor `_project_context` and `_apply_result`
+provide the canonical context projection and result application. FILTER results
+must be materialized through the validated keep mask before `population.patch`;
+passing its raw `keep` result directly to that lower-level patch function omits
+the executor's frame selection. Ordinary rebase/gate results use the existing
+patch path. These deterministic kernels consume no random draws. Expected
+artifact bytes and receipts can then be compared with the actual store and node
+states, and expected full populations with the host's retained observations.
+This fragment adds no separate executor, authority registry or public run issuer.
+
+Future PUF integration must depend on this verification artifact and require
+complete tax leaves over every physical member the PUF consumer needs. The
+fragment does not add that host dependency itself. Matching checked inputs give
+matching outputs on paired clones; the fragment does not infer or repair clone
+pairing. Capital gains retain their earlier conditioning and are not rebased by
+this change.
+
+## Verification scope
+
+The 32 invented controls exercise a real four-node graph including its source,
+ContentStore cold execution and required-cache replay. They cover negative,
+zero-net and positive anchors with loss offsets, independent O/D unknowns,
+known O/D with unknown retirement/broad components, integer IDs above `2**53`,
+row permutations, empty pure input, malformed values, altered leaf bits,
+diagnostics and artifact bindings, full-frame preservation, zero-weight records,
+the population conservation record and unsupported receiving shapes. No native
+survey, country engine, PUF execution, fitting or publication is part of this
+acceptance.

-This first extension leaves the eight existing financial leaves unchanged.
+The thirty-five-node option leaves the eight existing financial leaves unchanged.
 Its run document therefore records `tax_split_rebased: false` and the legacy
 capital-gain model's conditioning on its earlier interest and dividend draws.
-The new property components do not yet establish coherent replacement tax
-inputs. A later rebase must use ordinary interest rather than account earnings,
-preserve separately known ASEC observations, and explicitly complete any
-required unknown inputs before full PUF use.
+It does not itself replace tax inputs. Optional tax rebasing is a separate
+three-node extension, described below.
 
 The PUF host derives its upstream node count and checks the actual final
 financial writer. Its recipient nodes read all columns of that population,
 including the new property fields, so the dependency is present in the graph.
 This interface does not establish that a native PUF run, tax rebase, calibration
 or release has passed. Candidate execution evidence belongs in `experiments/`.
+
+## Optional tax rebase
+
+Pass `rebase_property_taxes=True` together with `property_income=options` to
+append the deterministic receiving version, tax split and numerical gate. The
+default is `False`; requesting a rebase without property options refuses before
+source I/O. This path has 38 nodes. It retains the complete legacy financial
+population and the complete 35-node property population separately from the
+final `survey_property.tax_receiving` version.
+
+The rebase uses ordinary interest and dividends with the maintained fractions
+and subtraction complements. Separate missing O/D inputs produce missing tax
+leaves, replacing earlier predictions; retirement-account interest remains
+auxiliary. A new FILTER conservation record is intentional, while existing
+Frame mass history and all non-rebased cells remain unchanged. See the
+[numerical fragment contract](us-property-tax-leaves.md).
+
+The host constructs the declarations from the checked clone Frame and the
+existing financial/property output descriptors. It never supplies fake values
+for future columns. After the real 35-node output is available, it independently
+re-declares and executes the three deterministic operations, checks stored
+artifact bytes and complete node receipts, and compares every expected full
+population with actual cold or cached observations. The issued run retains
+the source, declaration, model, artifact, intermediate population and final
+population seals. Later checks reconstruct the same tax operations before the
+final source requalification and pure lifetime fence.
+
+An incomplete numerical gate is valid development evidence. The run document
+reports `tax_split_rebased: true`, three extra nodes and the actual
+`tax_leaf_complete` value; it remains `release_eligible: false`. PUF recipient
+qualification explicitly requires a complete independently checked numerical
+gate before it reads its additional source inputs. Both PUF recipient graph
+nodes carry a typed edge to that gate on the actual receiving version. The
+19- and 35-node paths do not add that edge or claim a tax rebase.
+
+No child zero completion or missing-adult model is introduced. Consequently the
+invented source fixture with under-15 and missing-anchor cases must remain a
+development run and refuse full PUF qualification. Capital gains retain their
+earlier conditioning; rebasing interest and dividends does not update that model.
+
+The bounded invented-source acceptance covers 11 host controls, including actual
+cold and required-cache 38-node runs, issued-view parity, intermediate/final
+population preservation, mutation refusals and incomplete PUF qualification.
+The numerical fragment has a separate 40-control acceptance, including a
+complete-input positive gate and descriptor-only declaration checks. These
+checks do not use native survey data, run a country engine or execute full PUF.

+# US launch integration: 13 September 2026
+
+This batch advances the checked survey graph and repairs the three causes of
+the preceding CI failures. It does not certify a native release file.
+
+## Property income and tax inputs
+
+The opt-in 35-node host combines qualified ACS/ASEC property observations,
+four conditional component models, signed reconciliation and clone attachment.
+Its cold construction, required replay and retained-population checks pass.
+The separately repeated PUF-recipient handoff passes after fixing an invalid
+invented source record. The original failed attempt remains recorded in
+[the 35-node host evidence](us-property-financial-host-20260912.md).
+
+The next opt-in adds three nodes: a receiving population version, four tax-leaf
+rewrites, and a numerical gate. All 11 integration controls pass over actual
+invented source owners, including cold construction and required replay of the
+38-node graph. The run took 645.283 seconds wall time and 0.567 GB peak RSS.
+Forty smaller numerical and declaration controls also pass.
+
+Ordinary interest supplies taxable and tax-exempt interest; dividends supply
+qualified and non-qualified dividends. The maintained split fractions remain
+explicit assumptions. Retirement-account earnings stay separate. Unknown
+components stay unknown, including under-15 observations outside survey
+reporting universes. Full preceding populations remain available and checked.
+An incomplete numerical gate refuses PUF source qualification. A complete-source
+PUF run through this extension remains unverified. See
+[the host contract](../docs/us-atomic-property-financial.md) and
+[the tax-leaf contract](../docs/us-property-tax-leaves.md).
+
+The host receipt SHA256 is
+`6a1e5798d2182e25eb08ac6e073c71cec3a31c03f1f647df3b8d131222f1cb02`.
+All frozen source and resource hashes remained unchanged; no country engine,
+native source or full PUF run was executed in that test packet.
+
+## CI repairs
+
+- **Retained observations:** final checks now compare the complete detached
+  observation Frame with its verified manifest Frame after the last artifact
+  I/O. The previous test reproduced an escaping mutation. Five controls now
+  pass: actual cold/required cloning and late mutations of either copy with
+  both return modes. No source revalidation or ownership check was removed.
+- **Country identities:** the AM, BE and UK expected fingerprints now include
+  the already reviewed solver snapshot changes. Replacing only that source
+  digest in a detached envelope reconstructs all three old fingerprints
+  exactly. Four controls pass; authored country resources are unchanged.
+- **Installed wheels:** `microcosm-build[source-io]` declares h5py and PyTables
+  without a country engine. CI installs the built extras after checking base
+  imports and verifies an invented HDF read/write round trip. A fresh local
+  six-wheel installation passes these checks with no US or UK engine. Locked
+  dependency versions are unchanged. This smoke test does not replace the
+  full remote wheel suite.
+
+## Other integrated source work
+
+ASEC retirement qualification retains raw slot and aggregate observations,
+including the annuity not-in-universe literal. Its comparison follows the
+declared normalization without rewriting the source; 62 controls pass.
+Retirement measurement and regularity assumptions still require an explicit
+bridge before they can supply complete tax inputs.
+
+The UK household-lineage helper preserves exact original identities through
+declared selection and cloning. Forty-three controls pass, including large
+integer IDs and graph operations. This is a supplied-lineage contract; it
+does not certify a new native UK graph or replace the UK country work.
+
+## Native run and remaining work
+
+The preceding native PUF attempt ended without a final receipt or PUF manifest.
+Its stopping cause is unknown. It provides no verified native PUF output.
+A new attempt needs a separately reviewed packet and resource budget.
+
+Remaining release work includes honest completion of applicable unknown inputs,
+full PUF composition, a small native end-to-end build, engine and calibration
+evaluation, national and congressional-district quality checks, progressive
+local scale, and full/compact exports. The
+[US/UK release path](../docs/us-uk-release-path.md) tracks those gates.

 ASEC persons retain each individually qualified component and reported total, including NaN for an unresolved value. Donor exclusion does not erase otherwise known amounts. The source-basis discrepancies remain available, and the complete source qualification/exclusion descriptions stay bound to the projection. ASEC raw-draw and reconciliation diagnostics are absent because no draw or reconciliation is performed on these observations.
 
+For example, a qualified survivor estate/trust route can exclude an ASEC person from the joint four-component fit while that person's ordinary interest and dividends remain known. The attachment copies those independent amounts to both initial clones. The separate tax-leaf successor splits each known amount independently; the donor exclusion does not turn it into an unknown tax input. A focused regression exercises this path with authenticated invented survey files and the real attachment and split functions, without fitting a QRF or rerunning the complete financial host.
+
 Eligible ACS persons receive one ordered joint draw and its reconciled components. Their original `person_id` and pandas row index are checked separately, then the original support ID, native source ID, source label, and exact clone roles establish the two-row fan-out. Excluded ACS persons receive NaN for model components and the attached anchor, with false `property_anchor_known` and `property_components_known`. Their original source anchor status remains in the qualified source projection; under-15 values are not silently converted into a new analytical zero.
 
 `property_anchor_known` describes the attached anchor's finite value. `property_components_known` describes all four attached components being finite; it is distinct from eligibility for donor fitting. Reconciliation bound flags use nullable booleans so an unperformed reconciliation does not become a false observation.

+# ASEC retirement candidate ledger
+
+`current_asec_retirement_basis.py` describes potential retirement-bridge support
+from the accepted retirement-detail and income-routing projections. It preserves
+source observations, route uncertainty and published accounting differences.
+It produces no fiscal inputs, fitted model, graph host or source authority.
+
+## API
+
+`build_asec_retirement_basis` accepts keyword arguments `retirement_detail`,
+`income_routing`, `original_household_membership`,
+`original_household_design_weights`, and `assumptions`. The two DataFrames must
+have identical ordered int64 `person_id` indices, exact native person IDs, and
+original interview ages. Shared amount observations and pension receipt codes
+must agree. A joint permutation is accepted; a one-sided permutation refuses.
+The current contract requires at least one selected person.
+
+It returns `AsecRetirementBasis` with six descriptive fields:
+
+- `person`: source identifiers, observed routed subtotals, candidate family
+  intervals, accounting differences and candidate-support flags.
+- `slots`: ten records per person, retaining six pension/disability/survivor
+  slots and four applicable/off-route distribution slots, source codes,
+  published amounts, knownness, source statuses and bridge routes.
+- `provenance`: detached, prefixed copies of both complete supplied projections,
+  including allocation and disclosure flags.
+- `exclusions`: uncertainty and route diagnostic masks, including cases that
+  remain numerically usable. These masks are not all applied as donor filters.
+- `summary`: counts and supplied original DESIGN-weight support for each
+  candidate tier and diagnostic mask.
+- `assumptions_payload`: canonical immutable bytes identifying the choices.
+
+The source projection dataclasses and these outputs contain mutable descriptive
+tables. Neither their type nor a digest grants source admission. A future host
+must retain and requalify the actual original source owners, complete person
+scope, table seals and original DESIGN weights around its relevant I/O. This
+pure function does not write to either input, calibrate weights or attach clones.
+
+## Required choices
+
+Every `RetirementCandidateAssumptions` field must be supplied. No country caller
+or development scenario is enabled by this change.
+
+| Field | Supported values |
+| --- | --- |
+| `pension_annuity_regularity` | `unresolved`, `assume_regular` |
+| `disability_pension_eligibility` | `unresolved`, `assume_qualifying` |
+| `survivor_annuity_overlap` | `unresolved` |
+| `withdrawal_regularity_netting` | `unresolved` |
+| `aggregate_accounting` | `exact_visible_balance_only` |
+
+`assume_regular` is a measurement scenario about pension/annuity regularity.
+`assume_qualifying` explicitly assumes both the disability-pension scope and
+regularity needed for the candidate bridge. Neither is inferred from an annual
+amount, age, `DIS_HP`, or `DIS_CS`. The latter source answers remain provenance.
+There are no private-pension, regular-withdrawal or taxable fractions. Changing
+either supported scenario changes `to_bytes()`; unsupported choices refuse.
+
+## Routes and candidate amounts
+
+The accepted [retirement-detail source](us-current-asec-retirement-detail-source.md)
+and [income-routing source](us-current-asec-income-routing-source.md) retain the
+published codebooks. This ledger imports those definitions and applies a separate
+bridge route classification:
+
+| Family | Candidate routes | Separate or unresolved routes |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Pension | Codes 1–6 | 7 Railroad; 8 unresolved |
+| Disability | Codes 2–5, subject to the explicit scenario | 6 Railroad; 1/7/8/9 other compensation; 10 unresolved |
+| Survivor | Codes 1–4 are visible candidate subtotals | 5 Railroad; 8 property; 9 annuity overlap; 6/7/10 unresolved |
+| Distribution | Applicable account codes 1–7 retained individually | Regularity/netting remain unknown; account 4 is a type of IRA |
+| Other income | 2/13 indicate additional retirement candidates | 1 Social Security overlap; 8 property overlap; 19 unspecified |
+
+The retirement ledger never consumes account-earnings amounts or adds Railroad
+amounts to Social Security. Other-income amounts are retained separately and
+never added to the candidate sum. Categories 2/13/19 leave combined candidate
+scope unresolved; known other categories can remain outside that sum. These
+routes do not establish any person's tax treatment.
+
+A source-known amount and a published literal remain separate. A declared
+positive slot contributes to its observed routed subtotal. A readable unused
+NIU slot can contribute an explicitly labeled structural zero to a numerical
+comparison, but its source-known amount remains missing. The subtotal is only
+a sum of the readable known slots; it never asserts that unknown slots are zero.
+Yes-receipt dollar zeros stay ambiguous where the source domain says none/NIU.
+Annuity preserves its distinct valid dollar zero and published `-1` NIU encoding.
+
+The four published total-minus-slot comparisons are recomputed and checked
+against R1. `DBTN_VAL` compares the main distribution slots only; the applicable
+known distribution total is supplied independently by the routing owner. No
+comparison is allocated to another source or attributed causally to disclosure.
+
+For pension/disability candidate bounds, all relevant slots must be readable and
+receipt-consistent, and their exact integer-dollar sum must equal the aggregate.
+Positive discrepancy leaves additional scope unresolved; negative discrepancy
+is contradictory accounting. Neither is clipped, used as a cap, or silently
+allocated. Readable outside routes are subtracted only under this exact balance.
+With unresolved regularity/scope the lower bound is zero; under the named
+scenario it includes only known candidate-route amounts. Unresolved source
+routes can widen the candidate interval without becoming identified labels.
+
+Positive survivor receipt keeps full survivor bounds unknown, even when its
+published comparison balances. Visible slots do not prove the scope of sources
+3/4. Only qualified no receipt with two NIU slots and zero total supplies a
+zero survivor family amount. Source 9 alongside positive annuity is explicitly
+flagged; no overlap priority or max/sum assumption is applied.
+
+A fully resolved applicable distribution composition produces a zero-to-total
+candidate interval. Missing/unreadable account types, ambiguous active zeros or
+off-route answers/dollars prevent that interval. The routing owner's known total
+is still preserved when the stricter candidate composition test fails. Account
+subtotals are finite only when the complete account composition is known.
+
+Under-15 people retain their source evidence with outside, unresolved-outside or
+contradictory-outside status and no candidate zeros. Combined bounds are available
+only when every family and other-income scope passes. `candidate_basis_eligible`
+means this conservative numerical support exists. `candidate_point_under_assumptions`
+means the candidate bounds coincide; `point_identified` and
+`fiscal_outputs_produced` remain false. No training label is created merely by
+calling a quantity an interval endpoint.
+
+## Source and validation boundaries
+
+The [2025 ASEC dictionary](https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/cps/datasets/2025/march/asec2025_ddl_pub_full.pdf)
+provides the source categories and domains. The [2024 ACS subject definitions,
+page 95](https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/acs/tech_docs/subject_definitions/2024_ACSSubjectDefinitions.pdf#page=95)
+provide the target's regularity and disability scope. The ledger's conservative
+accounting and scenario choices are separate decisions. It does not equate the
+surveys' reference periods, allocate joint income, or derive source regularity
+or tax treatment from those documents.
+
+Tests use the actual pure R1/routing projectors on invented records. They check
+source routes, exact accounting, unknowns, assumption identities, interview-age
+routes, native IDs above `2**53`, one-sided mutations, permutations, detached
+provenance and descriptive design-weight support. Person mass uses the supplied
+original household weight for each included person; household mass counts each
+included household once. The Series has no independent weight-kind authority.
+Allocation/disclosure flags do not filter candidates. No native data, source
+capture, engine, fitting, calibration, PUF or release acceptance is involved.

+# Property completion routing
+
+`current_property_completion_routing.build_property_completion_routing(qualified, clone_frame)` describes the remaining ordinary-interest and dividend work over the original ACS/ASEC source population. It assigns no amounts, fits no model and changes no Frame. Its `PropertyCompletionRouting` return value is descriptive; constructing it grants no source, complete-parent or release authority.
+
+The inputs are the existing `QualifiedPropertyIncomeSources` description and the complete initial clone Frame. The operation checks original source order, integer identities, source-native agreement, source ages, component knownness, the exact two clone roles and original household DESIGN weights. It preserves the complete input physical descriptions. Actual source custody remains external: a country host must retain and requalify the preparation and source issuers around relevant I/O. Neither the description's type nor a separately supplied DESIGN vector authenticates that custody.
+
+## Routes and retained reasons
+
+Each original person receives one route:
+
+| Route | Meaning |
+| --- | --- |
+| `unsupported_under15_measurement` | The source age is below15. No child amount or adult extrapolation is supplied. |
+| `source_review_required` | A required source amount/receipt or ACS anchor is malformed, outside its published domain, inconsistent or has an invalid adjustment. |
+| `carry_known_components` | Both independent ASEC components are known. Joint-fit exclusion does not erase them. |
+| `existing_acs_anchor_decomposition` | The adult ACS aggregate anchor is observed and qualifies for the existing decomposition branch. The separate components remain unresolved at this stage. |
+| `acs_anchor_completion_review` | An adult ACS anchor remains missing. This operation supplies no fallback. |
+| `asec_component_completion_review` | At least one adult ASEC component remains unresolved. Any independently known other component is preserved. |
+
+Under15 is the first route; malformed, positive-outside-universe and contradictory observations remain visible as overlapping reasons. Adult source errors precede generic missingness. Joint-donor exclusions remain separately named reasons and never by themselves turn otherwise known O/D into unknowns. Unknown new source statuses refuse classification instead of silently entering a generic completion branch.
+
+The long component table preserves amount, individual knownness and the exact reporting/literal statuses. `observed` denotes a qualified observed amount; `derived` distinguishes a qualified known-nonreceipt zero; `unresolved` retains missing amounts. An observed ACS aggregate is recorded separately from its unresolved individual components. No component receives a `modeled` origin here; only a later operation consuming actual checked model outputs can assign that origin. Allocation and disclosure flags remain source provenance rather than donor filters.
+
+## Outputs and support
+
+- `person`: one row per original, with source/native identity, source age, original household, independent O/D knownness, separate ACS anchor and exclusive route.
+- `components`: two rows per original for the two required component families.
+- `reasons`: all overlapping required-source and joint-fit diagnostics.
+- `clones`: exact original/native/source identity and clone roles mapped to the initial receiving person IDs.
+- `summary`: raw original-person and unique-household counts, household-inherited DESIGN person mass and union-household DESIGN mass for each route/reason. Clones do not multiply these summaries. Zero-weight support remains visible in raw counts.
+- `payload`: deterministic JSON with the tables and explicit statements that it neither assigns amounts nor authenticates a source or complete parent. Integer IDs remain integers, including those above2⁵³; unknown amounts serialize as null.
+
+These are support diagnostics, not prevalence estimates or calibrated totals. Overlapping reason masses must not be added as if the reasons were disjoint.
+
+## Integration boundary
+
+`property_completion_artifact_output()` supplies the typed `completion_routing` artifact declaration. This additive slice does not connect a new node or change the accepted38-node host. The next host integration should emit the payload at the existing property source-projection boundary, bind the actual retained source and clone descriptions, and recompute/compare it during requalification and reconstruction. That host change requires its own source/graph identity and observation checks.
+
+This operation does not create a child-income measurement model, fill an unknown adult input, assert that the PUF covers a missing source population or relax the existing completeness gate.

Subject: [PATCH 195/255] Stream the full-PUF population seal parts into the
 digest

_population_stamp expanded every part into one tuple before hashing, so an
object strata column retained one encoded scalar per row for the whole
traversal. Feed the same parts, in the same order, through itertools.chain
into the unchanged _digest, exactly as _table_stamp already does. No part,
boundary, length prefix or byte changes; only peak retention does.

The new invented test compares the streamed parts part-for-part against a
verbatim copy of the pre-change tuple across empty, labelled-index,
reversed-row, weightless and wide-object-strata populations, and requires
twenty visible and hidden mutations to move both stamps together.

Runtime untested in this lane by instruction: no test, import, build or
simulation was executed here.

+"""Invented parity for the streamed in-process population seal.
+
+Every fixture here is invented in this file: no genuine microdata, no source
+admission, no store, archive or native read, and no tax engine.  The property
+under test is narrow and exact — streaming the seal's parts into the unchanged
+``_digest`` must produce the byte-identical digest that the pre-change expanded
+tuple produced — so each test compares the live implementation against
+``_expanded_parts`` below, which is a verbatim copy of the pre-change tuple.
+Mutation coverage is here too, because an optimization that preserved a digest
+by *losing* a part would also pass a parity-only test.

Subject: [PATCH 196/255] Take whole series by slice in the physical storage
 parts

_storage_parts took a row-aligned bool mask, so a whole-series caller built
an all-True selector and paid for a null-selection copy and a value-selection
copy of every row. Accept slice(None) as well: it selects the same rows in
the same order, and every payload below is taken through
np.ascontiguousarray or an in-order walk, so the bytes are identical. The
isna() call also moves below the masked-storage branch, which carries its
own nulls and never used it.

Converted here: storage_equal's whole-series path and the full-PUF
placement's _series_parts, the site the source review named. Subset masks
are untouched, including the hidden bytes under a nullable mask, and a
wrong-length mask still fails closed with IndexError.

Tests compare the live helper against verbatim copies of the pre-change
bodies across empty, contiguous, strided, reversed, frame-sliced,
non-native-endian, dense, masked, string and object series, with signed
zero, subnormals, infinities and two distinct NaN payloads, and require
visible and hidden mutations to move the bytes.

Runtime untested in this lane by instruction: no test, import, build or
simulation was executed here.

+Select whole series with `slice(None)` instead of an all-True mask when folding physical storage parts, and skip the null recomputation that masked storage never uses, preserving the emitted value bytes, null bytes and subset-selection behaviour exactly.

Subject: [PATCH 197/255] Convert the remaining whole-series storage-parts call
 sites
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Five US seals still built an all-True selector per series before folding
physical storage parts. Each passes slice(None) now, which the helper
accepts as the whole series. Every one of them passes a selector of exactly
the series' own length today, so the selected rows and their order are
unchanged and the digests are byte-identical; current_survey_predictors
uses len(table) for series that are all exactly len(table) rows.

This is deliberately a separate commit from the helper change: it moves
five more modules' source identity for no benefit that has been measured
yet, so it can be reverted on its own.

The new test compares the two seals whose inputs are cheaply invented —
population_input_coverage._series_stamp and survey_origin_budget's storage
identity — against verbatim copies of their pre-change bodies, and holds
all five sites, including the three whose inputs are not, with a static
guard that fails if a call goes back to an all-True selector.

Runtime untested in this lane by instruction: no test, import, build or
simulation was executed here.

Subject: [PATCH 198/255] Pack exact Python floats directly in the scalar
 digest framing

_update_scalar built a singleton list and a one-element float64 array for
every floating scalar, twice over per context check. An exact-float branch
packs the same eight native IEEE-754 bytes with struct.pack("=d", ...)
instead. The branch is placed immediately before the existing floating
branch, so no earlier check is reordered, and it tests the exact type: numpy
floating scalars and float subclasses still take the array path.

Byte parity for special values is a prerequisite, not an assumption, so the
new test asserts struct.pack("=d", v) == np.asarray([v], float64).tobytes()
directly for signed zero, both infinities, subnormals, sys.float_info
extremes and three distinct NaN payloads including a signed one, then
compares the emitted chunks against a verbatim copy of the pre-change body
for those floats, for numpy float16/32/64, for a float subclass and for
every other scalar branch, and checks object and dense arrays end to end.

Runtime untested in this lane by instruction: no test, import, build or
simulation was executed here.

+"""Exact-float packing parity for the executor's scalar digest framing.

+Invented scalars only: no data file, no store, no engine.  ``_update_scalar``
+now packs an exact Python float with ``struct.pack("=d", ...)`` instead of
+building a one-element float64 array; the emitted payload, its length prefix
+and its framing must be identical, sign bit, NaN payload and all.  Every test
+compares the live helper against ``_reference_update_scalar`` below, a verbatim
+copy of the pre-change body, at the byte level rather than only at the digest.

Subject: [PATCH 199/255] Complete the scalar-type matrix in the two graph
 parity tests

Adds numpy and float-subclass object leaves to the storage-parts case
matrix, and pins that an object float leaf encodes by value across float
types while np.float32's different value stays distinguishable.

Also narrows the two numpy round-trip cross-checks so they ask one question
at a time: whether np.float64 preserves a NaN payload is separate from
whether these helpers changed, and the fast path's byte parity for every NaN
is already pinned directly against the array form.

Test-only, and part of the two candidates whose files it extends.

Runtime untested in this lane by instruction.

 The UK household-lineage helper preserves exact original identities through
 declared selection and cloning. Forty-three controls pass, including large
 integer IDs and graph operations. This is a supplied-lineage contract; it
 does not certify a new native UK graph or replace the UK country work.
 
+## Hashing checks and measured scope
+
+The latest hashing changes preserve exact digests in 267 controls. Two additional
+tests exercise actual invented source preparation and requalification, including
+refusal after a retained Frame changes during the final source I/O. These pass
+with no changed source/resource pins or unexpected access refusals.
+
+Six isolated processes compared the old and new helpers on 207,692 invented
+rows, with three repetitions per process. The paired digests match exactly.
+Median helper times were:
+
+| Helper | Before | After |
+| --- | ---: | ---: |
+| Population part streaming | 29.17 ms | 29.34 ms |
+| Whole-series storage selection | 26.20 ms | 25.60 ms |
+| Exact Python-float framing | 55.10 ms | 23.75 ms |
+
+The float helper is about 2.32 times faster in this workload. The other two
+show little timing difference. Peak RSS differs by less than about 1.1 MB in
+each pair; these runs establish no meaningful memory reduction. Helper timings
+exclude input construction, while peak RSS includes imports and construction.
+This is not a native-build speed or memory estimate. All mutation checks and
+digest framing remain active.
+
+The parity receipt SHA256 is
+`30fba8c4e2c91042e06d177ce51e9077219c743b28180c210fa630600ac1a197`;

+
 ## Native run and remaining work
 
 The preceding native PUF attempt ended without a final receipt or PUF manifest.
 Its stopping cause is unknown. It provides no verified native PUF output.
 A new attempt needs a separately reviewed packet and resource budget.
 
+The immediate native milestone is the property/tax graph with completion
+diagnostics. Its original-record counts will quantify the missing-input routes
+before selecting a completion method or attempting PUF qualification. The
+current PUF allocation code does not establish child-income coverage: it uses
+existing positive per-person component shares across receiving unit members,
+with a first-row fallback when all shares are zero. The HEAD/spouse restriction
+belongs to Social Security conditioning. There is no admitted dependent-return
+to child-ownership match, so neither a zero fallback nor a claim that the PUF
+already covers the gap has been adopted.

 `property_completion_artifact_output()` supplies the typed `completion_routing` artifact declaration. This additive slice does not connect a new node or change the accepted38-node host. The next host integration should emit the payload at the existing property source-projection boundary, bind the actual retained source and clone descriptions, and recompute/compare it during requalification and reconstruction. That host change requires its own source/graph identity and observation checks.
 
 This operation does not create a child-income measurement model, fill an unknown adult input, assert that the PUF covers a missing source population or relax the existing completeness gate.
+
+## Opt-in host artifact
+
+`PropertyIncomeOptions(completion_routing=True, ...)` requests a fourth typed
+artifact, `completion_routing`, from the existing
+`survey_property.source_projection` node. The default remains disabled and
+retains the previous canonical option payload. Neither setting changes the
+numerical model declarations, source universes, clone attachment or tax split.
+An implementation source edit does change executable cache identities.
+
+The private artifact contains the complete original-person, component, reason
+and initial-clone tables. The source receipt contains an explicitly allowlisted
+aggregate summary and its private artifact digest. The actual graph HTML and
+text views expose receipts, so private identifiers and per-person values must
+never enter this summary. Aggregate DESIGN support is descriptive; it is not
+calibrated representation, a release gate or a disclosure certificate.
+
+Source execution reuses its existing qualification and builds routing once.
+Independent host reconstruction checks exact diagnostic bytes and the expected
+aggregate receipt on cold execution and required replay. Ordinary branch checks
+retain their existing three source-artifact checks and do not recompute routing.
+The host retains all declared artifact hashes and canonical options; its checked
+parent/source lifetime remains the authority boundary. The pure routing result
+and the artifact grant no source or complete-parent authority.
+
+The bounded integration controls exercise qualified invented source descriptions,
+option/declaration behavior, tamper refusal and the real public serializers.
+Actual 38-node host acceptance is a separate test scope; this feature does not
+claim native completion, PUF readiness or a released dataset.

 Actual 38-node host acceptance is a separate test scope; this feature does not
 claim native completion, PUF readiness or a released dataset.
+
+The repository's existing 38-node tax-host fixture now enables completion
+routing on both its cold and required calls. Its controls retain full population
+and unknown-input checks, verify the private typed artifact and aggregate receipt
+on replay, and refuse changes to the retained artifact bytes. The local native
+harness predicates can share those fixtures through a separately pinned acceptance
+wrapper; they are not a machine-specific dependency of repository tests.

+# Housing participation in the common US survey graph
+
+The common ACS–ASEC graph connects independent survey housing observations to
+two country-model inputs: `receives_housing_assistance` and
+`takes_up_housing_assistance_if_eligible`. Both inputs attach to the modeled
+assisted family's SPM unit. The country model calculates program awards,
+allocates those awards across SPM units and applies the SPM resource cap.
+
+`graph_us_survey_enrichment.run_us_survey_enrichment` includes this connection
+after the current survey amount and health fragments. It uses the retained
+source preparation and original common frame; it does not construct a separate
+ASEC–PUF population or infer participation from `SPM_CAPHOUSESUB`.
+
+## Observations and modeled inputs
+
+The qualifier reads the authenticated original ASEC household and person
+members and ACS household and person members already owned by source
+preparation. The existing ASEC housing classifier distinguishes known receipt,
+known nonreceipt, unknown, not-in-universe and conflicting responses. The
+attached household evidence preserves literal fields, status, allocation
+quality, knownness, source year and survey year.
+
+`housing_observed_receipt` remains nullable. `housing_receipt` is the completed
+model input, and `housing_receipt__origin` records whether it came from an
+observation, a modeled exclusion or imputation. A modeled value never changes
+the source observation's knownness.
+
+The projection records these assumptions:
+
+| ID | Assumption |
+| --- | --- |
+| A1 | The household reference person's SPM unit represents the assisted family. |
+| A2 | Interview-time participation carries through the preceding income year. |
+| A3 | Public-housing and reduced-rent reports represent the modeled HUD assistance family. |
+| A4 | ACS group quarters are excluded from this modeled household-assistance family. This is a modeled exclusion, not observed nonreceipt. |
+| A5 | Independently observed owner households are excluded from this modeled public/lower-rent family. Positive or conflicting source answers cannot be overridden by this assumption. |
+
+ASEC `A_EXPRRP` and ACS `RELSHIPP` identify the reference person. Row order and
+ASEC `P_SEQ` do not establish that role. A household with an ambiguous reference
+role refuses attachment. Explicitly classified group quarters may lack a
+reference person only when their completed modeled receipt is false.
+
+## Household imputation and attachment
+
+Known ASEC households supply one binary label per household to the existing
+regime-gated QRF operator. The donor frame retains complete households and
+their original household design weights before geographic allocation and
+cloning. Predictors are reference-person age, household size and household
+employment and self-employment income. When the parent qualifies demographic
+conditioning, the corresponding reference-person predictors also participate.
+
+The model fills only unresolved household participation cells. One draw per
+original household attaches to both of its clones through explicit source and
+clone identities. If every household already has a completed input, the graph
+omits fitting and application. The connection preserves the receiving frame's
+existing columns, entity memberships, weights and mass ledger.
+
+Only the reference person's SPM unit receives the two true participation
+flags. Other SPM units sharing that household receive false. No program-dollar
+or SPM-dollar variable is produced by this fragment.
+
+## Verification and release scope
+
+The host binds source projections, donor values and weights, recipient matrix,
+fitted-model history and attachment outputs. It reconstructs each population
+change during readback and checks live implementation and configuration around
+owner callbacks. Mutating a retained observation, source mapping or output
+invalidates the affected result.
+
+The focused tests use invented source files and Frames. They exercise source
+knownness, household donor grain, reference-person routing, clone attachment,
+cap independence and graph replay. These code checks do not establish
+imputation quality on national data or a revised 2025 poverty rate. The
+projection and attachment therefore carry `release_eligible: false` until the
+separate native population, country-model, calibration and release checks are
+complete.

 ## Other integrated source work
 
+The common survey housing graph is now incorporated from the independently
+reviewed housing branch. It retains source housing observations, fits household
+participation on original survey design weights, shares each original draw
+between its clones, and routes the result to SPM units. Country-model formulas
+remain responsible for awards and caps. Sixty-four focused tests and nine
+actual invented full-host tests pass, including fresh fitting and application,
+277 required replay hits, full retained populations, mutation refusal and
+FrameStore readback. The final host run took 1,459.15 seconds. These tests do
+not establish native participation rates or a complete fiscal input inventory.
+
+Root and Fable approved housing revision
+`076b4a89072ed5cb55c5a51e114b1434ad770a92`; all nine housing files retain
+their tested bytes in this integration. The host receipt SHA256 is
+`77931e8570e6117a2a05358cdd8c156e8643ae62e18b4ca95322992ed49c99be`.
+An independent reviewer additionally reported five passing classification and
+source-channel guard tests on the combined branch. That narrow run disabled
+capture after a sandbox temporary-storage failure and generated no JUnit;
+its test counts come from the completed reviewer report. The pure housing
+router retains the source-blindness guard. Only source qualification and graph
+declaration modules receive the necessary provenance-owner classification.
+
+The PUF observer test fixture also now releases its own monitoring events and
+callbacks explicitly on Python 3.13, which lacks `clear_tool_id`. Eight isolated
+stdlib observer probes pass across Python 3.13.9 and 3.14.4, covering normal
+cleanup, exceptions, partial fixture setup and tool-ID reuse. No production
+calculation changed. The new full remote CI run remains pending.
+
 ASEC retirement qualification retains raw slot and aggregate observations,
 including the annuity not-in-universe literal. Its comparison follows the
 declared normalization without rewriting the source; 62 controls pass.

+# US canonical household-role fragment — lane journal
+
+Lane: `us-canonical-household-roles-20260913`, based on integration
+`a96fc850942d3fd96d24251c07d9ebc38b79f8de`. Independent parallel US
+source-only build. No push, no merge, no runtime staging, no test execution.
+
+## Scope
+
+Bounded canonical household-role fragment for the current Microcosm US graph:
+
+- A thin **qualifier** over the genuine retained ACS/ASEC preparation/issuers.
+- A **common graph fragment** mapping exact original ACS/ASEC source
+  identities onto both initial clone families, preserving int64 ids,
+  household relationships, assigned geography, weights, provenance and every
+  other Frame cell.
+- `is_household_head` bound **only** where the actual documented source
+  definition matches. Ambiguous source roles stay unbound and explicitly
+  unknown.
+- Independent-minor roles: **source/consumer scope audit only** unless an
+  existing explicit canonical contract plus genuine source authority
+  establish the mapping.
+
+Out of scope (owned elsewhere or deferred): canonical sex, raw
+disability/student observations, housing participation, native restoration,
+parent-link preservation, wiring the shared country host.
+
+## State
+
+- [x] Worktree/branch/base verified; AGENTS.md + CLAUDE.md read.
+- [ ] Trace maintained source owners + canonical `is_household_head`.
+- [ ] Mapping/unknownness specification.
+- [ ] Qualifier module.
+- [ ] Graph fragment module.
+- [ ] Pure/graph/fixture tests (written, not run).
+- [ ] CI source classification.
+- [ ] Docs + changelog fragment.
+- [ ] BUILD-RESULT.md.
+
+## Next
+
+Trace owners with a parallel read sweep over the ACS/ASEC source runtime.

Subject: [PATCH 217/255] Qualify the canonical household reference-person role
 from both arms

Bind the composed binding's own recorded requirement for is_household_head
instead of restating it: the ASEC arm reads A_EXPRRP printed codes 1/2 through
asec_demographic_source, and the ACS arm reads RELSHIPP == 20 from the pinned
person member over complete published household rosters. P_SEQ == 1 is never
consulted, a prepared arm's harmonized A_EXPRRP is never read as a source, and
a group-quarters household stays unbound rather than becoming a false head.

+"""Canonical household reference-person role, qualified from retained owners.
+
+Scope fence. This module is descriptive. It issues no source, no population and
+no release authority, and it is deliberately not wired into the accepted country
+enrichment host. It borrows maintained owners and re-states none of their
+contracts:
+
+* The canonical requirement is the one the composed binding already records.
+  :mod:`.graph_composed_asec_binding` carries ``is_household_head`` in
+  ``UNBOUND_DEMOGRAPHIC_COLUMNS`` as an open column, with the ASEC requirement
+  ``A_EXPRRP`` printed codes 1/2 and exactly one such person per household, the
+  ACS requirement ``RELSHIPP == 20`` on housing units only, and three signals
+  recorded as *not adopted*. That entry is pinned here and every declaration in
+  this module is checked against it rather than restated.
+* ASEC roles come from :mod:`.asec_demographic_source`, which reconstructs the
+  printed ``A_EXPRRP`` code from the pinned CSV members and publishes
+  ``asec_household_reference_state`` and its unbound reason after proving the
+  grouping column is a bijection with the published household key.
+* ACS roles come from the pinned ACS person member's own ``RELSHIPP`` token,
+  classified by that same owner's :func:`acs_household_reference_states`.
+
+What this module refuses to assume, stated once:
+
+* ``P_SEQ == 1`` is **not** headship. It is a within-household sequence number
+  whose dictionary entry labels no code as reference person, and the maintained
+  owner already records it as ``diagnostic_crosscheck``. The incumbent ASEC
+  ``is_household_head`` leaf produced by :mod:`.relationship_inputs` is that
+  signal; this module compares values with it and never adopts its rule.
+* A prepared arm's ``A_EXPRRP`` column is **not** a source. ``asec_pool``
+  derives it from ``A_LINENO == 1`` when a locked input omits it, and
+  ``acs_pums`` derives it from ``RELSHIPP`` — writing ``14`` for every member of
+  a group-quarters-only household. Both arms are therefore read from their own
+  original code, never from the harmonized column.
+* Relationship-code allocation provenance is **unresolved on both arms**. The
+  ASEC readset carries no allocation flag for ``A_EXPRRP`` and the ACS readset
+  carries none for ``RELSHIPP``, so no receipt written here may call a value
+  respondent-reported or claim the two arms carry equivalent evidence.
+* A group-quarters ACS household has no observed housing-unit reference person.
+  The maintained owner reports that as its own state rather than as "not the
+  reference person", and this module keeps it unbound. An absent reference
+  person is not a false one.
+* Age, family relationship, tax-unit role, line number and row order fill
+  nothing. Unresolved stays unresolved.
+
+Returned values are detached. A graph host must requalify the live owners and
+compare materialized descendants, including after replay.

+The external builder stopped after commit `593aa157a46d4736238b4535ed3f9d9eb6dd7a52`, containing a qualifier module without graph/tests/docs. Its commits are preserved. The continuation rechecked the clean assigned branch and fetched main: 239 commits ahead, zero behind before further edits.
+
+Review found the declared live fence was never called by the qualifier. The continuation checks it around every owner callback, binds individual column aliases, and independently reconstructs the final projection after owner I/O. Root also explicitly confirmed that unsupported known incumbents must refuse at canonical binding, including artificial group-quarters heads; reconciliation retains the original evidence for adjudication.
+
+The source continuation adds a common two-node graph fragment, pure/graph/actual-owner tests, the mapping and independent-minor audit in `docs/us-current-survey-household-roles.md`, and a changelog fragment. No country-host wiring, housing routing, independent-minor calculation, source staging, project import, pytest, native or installed-model read, push or release is performed. The packet's source pins and bounded runtime proposal record the final scope; written tests remain unrun until separately authorized.
+
+Source AST parsing/compilation, Ruff formatting/lint, diff whitespace and CI inventory verification pass. The inventory contains 122 planned cases (58 pure, 50 graph, 14 actual owners), not executed results. All three new files receive the existing fast/rest and engine/us-am/build classification; no CI classifier change is required.

+# Current survey household reference-person roles
+
+The canonical `is_household_head` leaf means the observed reference person of a surveyed household. `current_survey_household_roles` qualifies that role from the retained ACS/ASEC preparation and original source owners. `graph_current_survey_household_roles` supplies a private source projection and a binding node on the existing population after cloning. This fragment is not yet wired into the country host or validated on native inputs.
+
+## Source meanings and unknownness
+
+| Source evidence | Qualified household role |
+| --- | --- |
+| ASEC `A_EXPRRP` code 1 or 2, every relationship token named, exactly one reference person in the published household | Reference person is true; other members are false |
+| ASEC missing/unnamed relationship, no reference person or multiple reference persons | Whole affected household remains unbound, with the owner's reason |
+| ACS housing-unit roster with exactly one `RELSHIPP` code 20 and all relationship tokens admitted | Reference person is true; other members are false |
+| ACS missing/invalid/mixed housing-unit roster or incorrect reference-person count | Household role remains unbound |
+| ACS group-quarters codes 37 or 38 | Published code remains known; housing-unit reference-person role remains unbound |
+
+The ASEC interpretation reuses `asec_demographic_source` and its pinned dictionary contract: `A_EXPRRP` has a 1–14 printed range, but code 6 has no named meaning. A value inside the range is therefore insufficient. The recorded field locators identify the 2023/2024/2025 dictionary pages 21/22/23 and the all-persons universe. Its owner proves the equivalence of published and prepared household memberships before classifying a role. `P_SEQ`, roster line number, family relationship, age and tax-unit position are not substitutes.
+
+The ACS interpretation reuses `asec_demographic_source.acs_household_reference_states`, reading original `RELSHIPP` tokens from the retained catalogue's pinned person archive. It reads whole selected household rosters so a selected subset cannot conceal another reference person or an invalid relationship. A group-quarters person is not an observed non-reference member of a housing unit; the named group-quarters code is retained separately from the unresolved canonical leaf. Synthetic household construction and the harmonized `A_EXPRRP` recode cannot supply reference-person evidence.
+
+These are the requirements already recorded by `graph_composed_asec_binding` for its unbound `is_household_head` column. This fragment pins that requirement and refuses changes. It does not relabel the composed stage as having supplied this observation.
+
+Neither arm supplies relationship-allocation evidence through this fragment. The current ASEC readset has no allocation flag for `A_EXPRRP`; ACS `FRELSHIPP` is outside this fragment's readset. The public receipt records allocation provenance as unresolved and makes no respondent-reported or equivalent-evidence claim.
+
+## Binding and inspection
+
+The private projection retains exact original person identifiers, source relationship codes, role states, reasons, household verdicts and knownness. The binding fans each original onto its two initial clones using shared provenance columns with exact int64 identity. It writes only `is_household_head`; an existing leaf is an explicit rewrite on a population version below its CREATE node. The expected-output verifier reconstructs the full population through the maintained patch operation and compares all other cells, entities, relationships, weights, geography, provenance, owners and mass history through shared replay equality.
+
+A known incumbent must have a qualified binding and agree with it. Contradictions and unsupported known incumbents both refuse without changing the original value. This includes an artificial group-quarters head: it cannot become source-confirmed headship. `household_role_reconciliation` reports aggregate disagreement and unsupported-incumbent counts for separate adjudication. A null incumbent is filled only when the source role is qualified. Source-unbound nulls stay null.
+
+The qualifier accepts only the actual retained preparation type and registry entry. It checks source bytes, live functions, code objects, defaults, closures and contract constants around the first and final preparation/ACS owner callbacks. After the last callback and source identity read it checks retained buffers and independently reconstructs the projection. The graph kernels similarly bind the host callback, qualified inputs and detached output seals. These are bounded in-process integrity checks, not a general execution sandbox. Public artifacts contain only the declared aggregate receipt; source identities and rowwise evidence remain private.
+
+## Independent-minor audit
+
+This lane does not create a generic `independent_minor` or emancipation variable. Existing `spm_role_source.py` defines the distinct `is_spm_independent_minor_role`, reconstructed from `SPM_HEAD`, `A_FAMTYP` and `A_FAMREL`, before an age gate. Its documented consumer reconciliation uses SPM adult/child/person counts; it is not household reference-person status, tax dependency, filing status or statutory emancipation.
+
+`tools/build_us_spm_role_enrichment.py` calls `derive_spm_role_source` for the separate legacy BuildP source-enrichment contract described in [the SPM runbook](us-native-spm-role-source-enrichment.md). Those retained source/release checks do not establish authority for the new combined graph or its ACS arm. A future SPM lane needs an explicit graph owner, current complete-unit source reconstruction, unit-count reconciliation, clone mapping, and verified consumer input semantics. This source-only audit did not import a country engine or inspect installed model definitions, so it makes no new consumer-compatibility claim. No age-only, head-only or tax-unit approximation is introduced.
+
+## Validation scope
+
+The proposed tests use invented observations through the real classifier, clone binder, graph compiler/executor, ContentStore and cold/required replay. They cover GQ unknownness, unsupported/conflicting incumbents, exact large integer IDs, complete population preservation, public receipt boundaries and mutations at first/final callbacks. A separate file uses the maintained tiny source fixture and real preparation, ASEC demographic and ACS catalogue owners, including both group-quarters types.
+
+At this source checkpoint the tests are written but unrun. Source AST, lint and CI inventory checks establish neither execution success nor data certification. The runtime proposal requires separate review of source/resource maps and guard limits before either invented phase. Native qualification, country-host integration, calibration and release verification remain separate gates.
+
+The finite roster has 58 pure cases, 50 graph cases and 14 actual-owner cases. The current qualifier is bounded to 2,097,152 original persons, and a graph artifact is bounded to 64 MiB. Those limits have not been validated against a full national original universe; a larger build needs a reviewed storage and resource plan rather than silently increasing them.

+"""Private canonical-household-role fragment: one source projection and one binding node.
+
+This fragment is deliberately independent of the accepted country enrichment
+host. It issues no run, creates no second receiving branch, changes no accepted
+host declaration, cache key, source or output contract, and is appended to no
+existing node roster. A host that later adopts it must extend its own reviewed
+declarations explicitly and supply the real typed ancestry edges.
+
+``survey_household_roles.source_projection`` is a CREATE node on a private branch of the
+retained preparation Frame. It carries the rowwise source codes, binding and
+allocation states, knownness and reasons, and emits them as a private typed
+artifact. Those identities never reach a public receipt.
+
+``survey_household_roles.bind`` owns exactly one leaf, ``is_household_head``, on the receiving
+post-clone population. It fans each qualified original person onto both of its
+initial clones by exact integer identity, preserves every already-known cell,
+fills only null cells whose source binding is known, and refuses a conflict or
+a known incumbent without a current qualified binding. When the receiving
+population already carries the leaf, the node declares an explicit full-column
+rewrite; otherwise it creates the column.

 The source continuation adds a common two-node graph fragment, pure/graph/actual-owner tests, the mapping and independent-minor audit in `docs/us-current-survey-household-roles.md`, and a changelog fragment. No country-host wiring, housing routing, independent-minor calculation, source staging, project import, pytest, native or installed-model read, push or release is performed. The packet's source pins and bounded runtime proposal record the final scope; written tests remain unrun until separately authorized.
 
 Source AST parsing/compilation, Ruff formatting/lint, diff whitespace and CI inventory verification pass. The inventory contains 122 planned cases (58 pure, 50 graph, 14 actual owners), not executed results. All three new files receive the existing fast/rest and engine/us-am/build classification; no CI classifier change is required.

+Fable reviewed exact `8a3226c37a2b0a3e9aee0090f901bfdca4efd549`. The original commit, review and source inventory remain preserved. The concrete graph-test receipt key is corrected from `acs_allocation_provenance` to the actual `relationship_allocation_provenance`. Five additional pure cases cover non-nullable Boolean preservation/refusal, invalid incumbent dtypes and the published current ASEC maximum roster line. Five additional real-owner cases exercise detached ASEC native/line/household mismatches and ACS household/retained-line coverage failures without modifying the issuer, original source or owner buffer.
+
+The source review's proposed legitimate ASEC line above 20 is not supported by the exact 2025 dictionary: A_LINENO is printed 01–16. No production bound is widened. The docs explicitly distinguish the operative 64 MiB serialized-artifact cap, the qualifier row ceiling and the ASEC owner's 600,000-row cap; no national capacity is asserted. The revised planned roster is 132 cases: 63 pure, 50 graph and 19 actual-owner cases (A113/B19). All remain unrun. The two production modules are unchanged.

 At this source checkpoint the tests are written but unrun. Source AST, lint and CI inventory checks establish neither execution success nor data certification.

-The finite roster has 58 pure cases, 50 graph cases and 14 actual-owner cases. The current qualifier is bounded to 2,097,152 original persons, and a graph artifact is bounded to 64 MiB. Those limits have not been validated against a full national original universe; a larger build needs a reviewed storage and resource plan rather than silently increasing them.
+The finite roster has 63 pure cases, 50 graph cases and 19 actual-owner cases. Additional controls verify non-nullable Boolean storage, invalid incumbent dtypes, and detached coordinate/roster mismatches against actual retained ASEC and ACS owners. An unsupported known Boolean incumbent refuses before the final unresolved-Boolean defense; tests do not fabricate nullable cells inside non-nullable storage to force that later branch.
+
+The **64 MiB serialized private-artifact cap is an operative capacity limit**, independent of the 2,097,152-original-person ceiling. Per-row JSON size varies with identifiers and values, so the person ceiling is not a supported national capacity claim. The maintained ASEC demographic owner also caps its own full input at 600,000 people. The first applicable source, row or byte limit governs, and none has been validated here against a full national universe. Larger builds need a reviewed storage and resource plan rather than silently increasing limits or assuming the row ceiling can be reached.
+
+Roster lines supply coordinates only. The current 2025 ASEC dictionary prints `A_LINENO` as 01–16, while ACS `SPORDER` uses 1–20. The fragment's common 20-coordinate ceiling therefore does not establish the suggested failure for a legitimate current ASEC line above 20; this review found no such documented value and did not widen production bounds. The exact ASEC owner and coordinate comparison remain required. [ASEC 2025 dictionary, physical page 22](https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/cps/datasets/2025/march/asec2025_ddl_pub_full.pdf).

 The ACS interpretation reuses `asec_demographic_source.acs_household_reference_states`, reading original `RELSHIPP` tokens from the retained catalogue's pinned person archive. It reads whole selected household rosters so a selected subset cannot conceal another reference person or an invalid relationship. A group-quarters person is not an observed non-reference member of a housing unit; the named group-quarters code is retained separately from the unresolved canonical leaf. Synthetic household construction and the harmonized `A_EXPRRP` recode cannot supply reference-person evidence.

+These are the requirements already recorded by `graph_composed_asec_binding` for its unbound `is_household_head` column. Their exact immutable declarations live in the import-free `survey_demographic_contract` module; the historical composed stage re-exports the same names and still refuses its own canonical writes. The later role qualifier imports only the shared declarations, not the composed runtime. Its source identity and first/final live checks bind both complete shared tuples, while the old composed stage includes the helper in its existing implementation inventory. This fragment pins that requirement and refuses changes. It does not relabel the composed stage as having supplied this observation.
 
 Neither arm supplies relationship-allocation evidence through this fragment. The current ASEC readset has no allocation flag for `A_EXPRRP`; ACS `FRELSHIPP` is outside this fragment's readset. The public receipt records allocation provenance as unresolved and makes no respondent-reported or equivalent-evidence claim.

The import-boundary successor adds exact historical assignment-AST parity, compatibility re-export identity, actual module-body import interception, shared-file source sealing and shared-constant mutations across source and graph owner callbacks. The earlier 113-case phase A attempt stopped during collection because the old eager composed-runtime import reached an unadmitted schema probe; no substantive tests ran. That failed packet and held phase B remain preserved. The successor tests are authored but unrun; no schema/resource permission is added.

+Add a retained-source qualifier for descriptive ACS/ASEC difficulty and enrollment observations, preserving literal codes, item universes, edit provenance and survey periods while leaving statutory and annual eligibility inputs unresolved.

+# Survey person-status observations
+
+The additive person-status qualifier retains published difficulty and enrollment
+items from the original ACS 2024 and ASEC 2025 person sources. It does not assign
+`is_blind`, `is_disabled`, or `is_full_time_college_student`. It is independent of
+the existing legacy eligibility operator and is not attached to a graph host or
+included in release coverage by this change.
+
+`qualify_current_survey_person_status(preparation)` accepts the actual retained
+`AuthenticatedSurveyPopulationPreparation`. It captures its pinned original
+members, selects people through exact original household/person/line identities,
+and checks each original age against the unchanged `A_AGE` column. It does not use
+a normalized or imputed `age` as the item universe. Twenty-two-digit ASEC native
+person keys remain strings; stacked person IDs retain their integer index.
+
+The result contains the original Frame reference, an origin table, literal source
+columns, descriptive observations, and an immutable receipt. The result owns no
+source authority. Its `validate()` method rechecks the actual preparation and
+student owners and compares all retained value seals after the last owner I/O.
+A consuming host must keep those owners, validate after its own last relevant
+I/O, and independently verify any materialized descendants and replay. Serialized
+rows or a copied receipt do not authorize a source or a graph execution.
+
+## Meaning and period
+
+| Observation | Definition | What it does not establish |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `survey_vision_difficulty` | The published answer to blindness **or serious seeing difficulty**, with source and period retained. | Statutory blindness, measured visual acuity or visual field. |
+| Other `survey_*_difficulty` items | The particular hearing, cognitive, ambulatory, self-care and independent-living questions. | A program-specific disability determination. |
+| `survey_any_applicable_difficulty` | Any known yes among applicable items; false only when every applicable item is a valid no. Completeness and universe contradictions are separate diagnostics. | A medical, duration or eligibility finding. |
+| `survey_publisher_disability_recode` | `PRDISFLG` or `DIS`, retained separately from the item-derived battery. Agreement is reported only when both are known. | An independent clinical observation. |
+| `survey_full_time_college_student_last_week` | A coherent ASEC enrollment, college and full-time combination for the preceding survey week in 2025. | Annual student status in the 2024 income year or five calendar months of attendance. |
+| `survey_college_attended_last_3_months` | ACS school attendance with undergraduate/graduate level in the preceding three months. | Full-time workload. ACS does not measure that here. |
+
+ASEC difficulty items use the published `PRPERTYP = 2` universe, rather than a
+replacement age threshold. The CPS publication may retain an earlier rotation
+response; its survey year does not imply a fresh March interview answer. ACS
+hearing/vision apply at all ages, cognitive/ambulatory/self-care at age 5+, and
+independent living at age 15+. Out-of-universe items remain unknown, not false.
+A positive or other non-NIU code outside that universe prevents an item-derived
+battery answer and remains visible as a contradiction.
+
+All values retain literal/code/parse states. Printed but unnamed numeric range
+members remain unresolved. ASEC `PXDIS*` transitions distinguish no change,
+longitudinal retention, allocation and changes to blank; nonzero is not a common
+allocation flag. Valid published yes/no values survive unknown edit provenance
+without becoming claims about an unallocated original answer. ACS `FSCHP` retains
+its documented enrollment scope; no separate `SCHG` allocation flag is invented.
+
+## Source contracts

+- [ASEC 2025 dictionary](https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/cps/datasets/2025/march/asec2025_ddl_pub_full.pdf), SHA256 `5cb80973326ef8b625fbaae70d80b0c641ce5d2b3911abd2fb4427abd5908a6f`: student values pp.23–24, difficulty values pp.26–27, person type and summary p.28, student allocation pp.28–29, edit transitions p.30 (one-based PDF pages).
+- [ACS 2024 dictionary](https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/acs/tech_docs/pums/data_dict/PUMS_Data_Dictionary_2024.pdf), SHA256 `929c2752995b0af1c16d5c64de8cdc43b4aa7d388ee2d45b4b4df90fecce1dff`: difficulty p.36, attendance/level pp.43–44, summary p.56, allocation pp.124–125 and130.
+- [ACS 2024 household questionnaire](https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/acs/methodology/questionnaires/2024/quest24.pdf): attendance items10a/b, p.12; difficulty items18–20 and their age gates, p.14. This does not claim separate verification of the group-quarters instrument or every interview mode.
+- [BLS disability FAQ](https://www.bls.gov/cps/cpsdisability_faq.htm): rotation-period retention and the distinction between the statistical battery and SSA eligibility.
+
+The minimal readsets are declared once in `current_survey_person_status.py` and
+recorded in the result receipt. `SCHL` is excluded because it measures completed
+attainment. ASEC `A_ENRLW`/`A_FTPT` are retained as current-cohort literals as well
+as cross-checked against the maintained `asec_student_controls` issuer. Calling
+that issuer consumes its existing **three-cohort** contract (income years
+2022–2024); only the matched 2024 cohort is selected into this projection. The
+extra current-cohort `A_HSCOL` and allocation fields are authenticated from the
+pinned original member rather than assumed to be covered by the control issuer.
+
+The source modules perform no downloads, no fitting, no tax/benefit calculations,
+no cloning, and no graph or dataset publication. A later legal or annual bridge
+must be a separate declared operation with its assumptions and validation.
+
+## Validation scope
+
+The committed tests use invented literals and privately pinned small source
+fixtures. They cover universe boundaries, partial knownness, named allocation
+transitions, enrollment routing, exact keys/ages, copied owners and mutation
+seals. This patch was prepared under a source-only boundary: static checks passed,
+but these new tests have **not yet been executed**. Bounded runtime acceptance and
+any integration into the country graph remain separate work.

 longitudinal retention, allocation and changes to blank; nonzero is not a common
 allocation flag. Valid published yes/no values survive unknown edit provenance

+# Descriptive person status in the common US graph
+
+`run_atomic_survey_financial(..., person_status=True)` adds four operations
+after the complete survey/PUF-support clone families and atomic geography, before
+financial enrichment. The default remains `False`. The existing nine-node
+spine/geography prefix and its returned populations remain separate and unchanged.
+The optional graphs have 23, 39 or 42 nodes, compared with the respective
+19-node financial, 35-node property and 38-node property/tax paths.
+
+| Node | Input and output |
+| --- | --- |
+| `survey_person_status.source_projection` | Borrows the actual retained preparation and source qualifier. Creates a private branch of original support and a typed artifact containing exact original identities and literal items. |
+| `survey_person_status.literals` | Exposes the complete union of ACS/ASEC raw items and distinct allocation/edit flags on original support. |
+| `survey_person_status.recode` | Calls the existing descriptive recoder and checks its result against the retained qualifier. Declares every parse/code field, difficulty/student observation, knownness, universe and period field. |
+| `survey_person_status.bind` | Joins the descriptive observations and context onto both initial clone families by exact original-person, native-person, survey-arm and clone-index identity. |
+
+The receiving Frame carries ten descriptive observations and their explicit
+context, rather than repeating all raw strings per clone. Raw/edit/parse fields
+remain on original support. The projection artifact is therefore required for
+the audit lineage: its typed producer edge, digest and the clone-origin linkage
+must be retained by a subsequent export. A receipt alone cannot authorize the
+source. Row values, private paths and native identifiers are absent from public
+node parameters and receipts. The private JSON artifact represents integers as
+decimal strings under `integer_literal`, never lossy JavaScript numbers.
+
+All column declarations are fixed, including when the selection contains only
+one survey arm. Missing opposite-survey fields remain null. Code columns use
+nullable `Int64` and observations use nullable Boolean storage, with knownness
+separate from the value. No `is_blind`, `is_disabled`, annual full-time student,
+prior-wage, sex or household-role writer is added. The
+[source definitions and reference periods](us-survey-person-status.md) remain
+unchanged.
+
+The shared host adds a typed status-binding dependency to its existing financial
+donor node. A narrow adapter checks that dependency, then supplies the exact
+original declaration and artifact slice to the existing donor kernel. This
+ordering is visible in the graph. The original source qualifiers continue to
+receive the untouched geography population.
+
+Verification covers the complete output. The status boundary reconstructs every
+status value, dtype, null mask, writer and position from qualified source literals.
+The existing financial/property verifiers independently verify the remaining
+population, including unrelated values, structural links, weights, design
+weights and mass ledger. The host retains complete output seals and rechecks
+them after its last source requalification. It refuses both a status-only change
+with an unchanged financial complement and an unrelated financial-cell change.
+
+The fragment validates the actual qualified object on admission. Before and
+after each executed kernel callback it checks live code, defaults, closures,
+declared artifacts, input/output seals and the original preparation/student
+owner relationships. The final host borrow requalifies the original source
+members before the last pure checks. Cold execution and required replay use the
+same declarations and full materialization comparisons.
+
+## Validation boundary
+
+The private projection has an explicit 2 GiB serialized-byte ceiling. Each raw
+survey token retains the source qualifier's 64-character bound; the existing
+ASEC student-controls issuer also retains its 600,000-row ceiling. There is no
+claim that these limits admit the complete ACS/ASEC universe; the inherited
+survey graph's preparation/allocation artifacts each retain their 64 MiB limits.
+Projection JSON is
+materialized in memory before its byte-limit check, and its working memory can
+exceed the final serialized size substantially. The small invented fixture will
+check a conservative 16 KiB-per-original serialized bound; that is an authored
+test expectation, not a measured native-data size. Before a maximum-local or
+full-national claim, measure the actual bytes per original and peak memory on
+successive small samples and consider a separately reviewed columnar/chunked
+private artifact. Repeating that artifact in every clone is not an option here.
+
+Authored tests include pure schema/binding controls, an actual 13-node
+spine/geography-plus-status fixture, optional 23-node common-host replay, and
+39/42-node property/tax preservation using invented authenticated sources.
+These tests are unexecuted in this source-only change pending review and a
+separately pinned bounded run. The later PUF and survey-enrichment hosts are not
+modified here; their combined end-to-end preservation remains a separate
+integration acceptance. Input-coverage counts describe the input registry, not
+the number of Frame columns.
+
+The root previously reported acceptance of 77 person-status source tests
+(75 pure/source controls and two actual owner cases), and 100 canonical-sex
+tests (88 plus 12). Those are root-reported source-boundary results, not this
+author's independent acceptance, validation of this new graph, a native-file
+build or release certification. The frozen native V4 graph is unaffected.

+# Joint empirical graph operations
+
+The reusable adapter fits a weighted paired empirical law and draws from it with
+the maintained keyed-uniform protocol. It uses `joint_empirical.py`; it does not
+fit QRF or independently sample two marginals. The source host selects and
+authenticates donors and recipients, supplies an explicit support policy, and
+independently verifies draws before attaching them to a survey population.
+
+This source implementation depends on the numerical operator introduced in
+`aaa8b071ab14a97e514deb05d367f74a964abb29`. Its tests are authored but unrun.
+
+## Private support branches
+
+The 2026-09-13 root decision clarifies the initial child implementation plan:
+independent private model-support CREATE branches are allowed so their exact
+column schemas appear in graph Slices. They do not change the receiving survey
+population, original spine, clones or geography. There is no new EXPAND operation.
+The US source owner creates those branches from its retained qualified source.
+The reusable adapter owns only the fit and draw operations.
+
+Side-table entity IDs must be exact unique int64 values. They identify rows when
+results are joined back and are excluded from the declared random coordinates.
+Original source coordinates occupy separately declared int/string columns. No
+float or Boolean source coordinate is accepted. The host must validate both the
+original coordinate and the original-person join; a matching side-table ID alone
+does not confer source authority.
+
+## Fit contract
+
+`joint_empirical_fit_node` declares one all-row Slice with the two ordered target
+columns, original donor and household key columns, and explicit weight column.
+Targets and weights are nonnullable float64; original keys retain their integer
+or string types. Donor keys must be unique, while household keys may repeat.
+All numeric validation and support rules execute in the real numerical model.
+The input weight kind is recorded as `explicit`; the host separately documents
+and authenticates any original household design-weight provenance.
+
+The node consumes a typed `source_projection` artifact whose payload hash is an
+explicit parameter. This is the full donor projection, distinct from the selected
+recipient projection. The complete support document is a canonical JSON string
+plus its SHA256 in normative parameters. No production support default exists.
+
+The node emits the numerical operator's exact private `model` bytes and a typed
+`model_metadata` artifact with model/support/donor-source hashes, target names,
+explicit weight kind and aggregate diagnostics. Model bytes contain paired donor
+values and exact tagged private coordinates. Metadata contains no donor IDs.
+Changing selected recipient sampling does not enter the numerical model bytes.
+
+## Draw contract
+
+`joint_empirical_draw_node` declares the original-recipient coordinate Slice. It
+consumes model and metadata from the same producer and the separate typed
+recipient `source_projection`. It checks platform scope, artifact store identity,
+the numerical model's complete plain-data encoding, support agreement, donor
+source hash and recipient projection hash.
+
+Parameters include the complete stream `(algorithm, experiment_id, replicate,
+base_seed)`, a coordinate suffix, the complete canonical transport document and
+hash, and explicit source/support/scenario revisions. The US child candidate
+uses suffix `('child-property-v1',)`. The adapter appends `pattern` and `donor`
+separately and calls the real `keyed_uniform`. It declares `SeedSource.KEYED` and
+does not consume the node-key-seeded sequential generator.
+
+Only the original source coordinates and explicit suffix enter the stream.
+Side-table IDs, clone numbers, row position, batch boundaries, model node keys,
+recipient sample size and scenario hashes do not. The scenario hash is a host
+revision reference, not authority over its semantics; the actual transport and
+stream parameters are independently normative. Scenario comparisons share
+uniforms while remaining distinct content-addressed graph operations.
+
+The private `draws` artifact records exact tagged original coordinates, decimal
+int64 side IDs, paired float64 values, patterns, positive donor references and
+all model/support/source/scenario/transport bindings. Rows have canonical
+coordinate ordering. Pattern zero has no sampled donor identity; it remains a
+model zero rather than an observed nonreceipt. No survey columns are written.
+
+`read_joint_empirical_draw` checks exact supplied side IDs and original keys plus
+the expected hashes and parameter documents. It returns values in the supplied
+order as bytes-backed readonly arrays. This validates the serialization and join
+contract, not the draw law: a host must reconstruct the actual model and keyed
+draws from retained qualified source before accepting canonical attachment.
+
+## Verification and limits
+
+The invented tests cover actual numerical fit/draw calls, unequal-weight paired
+probabilities, exact large IDs, integer/string distinctions, row permutations,
+partitions, recipient additions, side-ID changes, common scenario uniforms,
+typed artifact/producer/hash changes, malformed private joins, explicit zero
+stress and empty recipient batches. A real four-node cold/required replay checks
+both model-support Frames and scenario-specific draw keys. No test grants survey
+authority, and no native fit or production support policy is claimed.
+
+The numerical model is capped at 64 MiB and 1,048,576 donors. Private draw JSON is
+also capped at 64 MiB and 1,048,576 recipients; the byte check occurs after Python
+object construction. These are ceilings, not measured national capacity. Before
+large use, measure bytes per row, working-memory peaks and repeated validation
+cost on small samples. A separately reviewed compact transport may be needed.
+Implementation identity includes this adapter, the numerical model, weight
+resolver and keyed-randomness module, with NumPy/Pandas platform-bitwise scope.

+Add an explicit weighted paired empirical model and a full-source ASEC teenager donor qualifier for an opt-in child property-income candidate, preserving observed values, source-knownness and original household design support. The source-only candidate supplies no released default or native-data acceptance.

+# Child property-income empirical candidate
+
+This source-only candidate implements an explicit transfer from original ASEC persons aged15–17 to explicitly unmeasured children aged0–14. It is opt-in methodology under review, not a released default or a measured child-income distribution. No native fit or test execution has occurred in this commit.
+
+`microcosm.fit.joint_empirical` fits a pooled weighted joint law for two nonnegative targets. It classifies each donor into neither, first-only, second-only or both-positive, then draws one paired observation within the chosen pattern. It uses Microcosm's typed/explicit weight resolvers. It does not run QRF or independently sample marginal amounts.
+
+For observed weighted pattern probabilities p, receipt factor r produces q_g=r*p_g for positive patterns and q_00=1-r*sum(p_positive). It refuses r<0, nonfinite values or r*sum(p_positive)>1; no probability is clipped. Two strictly positive amount factors scale the paired donor coordinates. Source-positive amounts lost to underflow or overflow refuse. Reference factors are one. r=0 is a separately labeled all-zero stress, still requiring the same fitted support-qualified donor population.
+
+Cumulative positive weights are normalized by their own finite positive endpoint. This declared normalization makes the final CDF endpoint one; non-increasing positive intervals refuse. Uniform coordinates use half-open intervals. The numerical operator accepts supplied uniforms; the separately owned graph adapter uses the maintained typed `keyed_uniform`, with exact original source coordinates rather than row positions, clone IDs or graph keys. Model JSON preserves integer coordinate types with decimal-string tags, including IDs above2**53. Descriptive model bytes cannot issue source authority.
+
+Support policy is mandatory and has no native default. It records positive-mass row/household counts, person and household effective sizes, separate overall/positive/pattern minima, and required patterns. Zero-weight observations stay visible in raw diagnostics but are never sampled or counted as positive support. Absent nonrequired patterns retain empirical zero and an explicit absence diagnostic; observed rare patterns cannot bypass the declared minima. Invented tests use named test policies. Native adequacy thresholds and sensitivity criteria require separate review.
+
+The US source qualifier calls the existing actual preparation and complete ASEC catalogue owners. Existing interest/dividend qualifiers already authenticate all current-year member rows before projecting selected `.person` tables; their full `.asec_literals` supply the donor pool. Exact full roster joins retain original household weights using `Fraction(HSUP_WGT,100)`, with no sample or clone multiplier. Ordinary interest is `TRDINT_VAL`, not combined `INT_VAL`; dividends are `DIV_VAL`. Missing retirement/rental information does not disqualify a known pair. Allocation/edit/topcode descriptors, including the existing I_DIVYN codebook ambiguity, remain descriptive provenance.
+
+The recipient path admits only jointly unknown, explicitly unmeasured under15 O/D observations. Source errors take precedence. It refuses contradictory or positive out-of-universe ASEC values, numeric out-of-universe ACS INTP, invalid ACS adjustments hidden by blank-status precedence, and unsupported known/partially-known incumbents. Source amounts and knownness are never rewritten by this module. Future model zeros must be labeled imputed, not observed nonreceipt.
+
+The qualifier extends maintained source identity and live function/default/closure fences around initial and final actual owner borrows. Its returned tables remain descriptive: downstream owners must retain and requalify original source owners, verify model/scenario artifacts and independently reconstruct the complete receiving population. A copied receipt or DataFrame cannot grant that authority. The new source tables are bounded to600,000 full source rows; the64MiB encoding ceiling applies to encoded metadata/individual coordinate data here, not a demonstrated resident-memory bound. The existing parent and future runtime guards retain their independent limits.
+
+This commit changes no receiving graph, canonical columns, source-knownness, tax rules, PUF allocator, calibration, dataset, paper/site deployment or release gate. The graph integration lane owns separate private model-support CREATE branches with exact schema Slices; it will leave the receiving survey spine, clone expansion and geography unchanged. Whole-Frame reconstruction, composed cold/required replay, child-containing PUF admission, native donor diagnostics, household holdouts and scenario sensitivity remain pending.

 Cumulative positive weights are normalized by their own finite positive endpoint. This declared normalization makes the final CDF endpoint one; non-increasing positive intervals refuse. Uniform coordinates use half-open intervals. The numerical operator accepts supplied uniforms; the separately owned graph adapter uses the maintained typed `keyed_uniform`, with exact original source coordinates rather than row positions, clone IDs or graph keys. Model JSON preserves integer coordinate types with decimal-string tags, including IDs above2**53. Descriptive model bytes cannot issue source authority.
 
+Reference transport retains the fitted zero-pattern mass directly rather than reconstructing it by subtracting rounded positive probabilities from one. This preserves representable leading intervals such as a zero donor with weight `2**-54` beside a positive donor with weight one. Every present positive-mass pattern, including the zero-income pattern when not named as required, must meet the declared pattern minima. Binary64 is the numerical input contract: floating dtypes wider than 64 bits refuse before target, explicit weight or uniform conversion. Where NumPy's `longdouble` aliases binary64, it remains supported; tests do not claim to exercise an unavailable extended-exponent representation. Already constructed Frame weights retain the Frame's own binary64 input contract.
+
 Support policy is mandatory and has no native default. It records positive-mass row/household counts, person and household effective sizes, separate overall/positive/pattern minima, and required patterns. Zero-weight observations stay visible in raw diagnostics but are never sampled or counted as positive support. Absent nonrequired patterns retain empirical zero and an explicit absence diagnostic; observed rare patterns cannot bypass the declared minima. Invented tests use named test policies. Native adequacy thresholds and sensitivity criteria require separate review.
 
 The US source qualifier calls the existing actual preparation and complete ASEC catalogue owners. Existing interest/dividend qualifiers already authenticate all current-year member rows before projecting selected `.person` tables; their full `.asec_literals` supply the donor pool. Exact full roster joins retain original household weights using `Fraction(HSUP_WGT,100)`, with no sample or clone multiplier. Ordinary interest is `TRDINT_VAL`, not combined `INT_VAL`; dividends are `DIV_VAL`. Missing retirement/rental information does not disqualify a known pair. Allocation/edit/topcode descriptors, including the existing I_DIVYN codebook ambiguity, remain descriptive provenance.

 The qualifier extends maintained source identity and live function/default/closure fences around initial and final actual owner borrows. Its returned tables remain descriptive: downstream owners must retain and requalify original source owners, verify model/scenario artifacts and independently reconstruct the complete receiving population. A copied receipt or DataFrame cannot grant that authority. The new source tables are bounded to600,000 full source rows; the64MiB encoding ceiling applies to encoded metadata/individual coordinate data here, not a demonstrated resident-memory bound. The existing parent and future runtime guards retain their independent limits.
 
+The interpretation seal includes the routing domain, receipt, account and allocation constants used by the literal projectors. The unpublished-allocation set is represented by its type and sorted immutable values, so changing its contents cannot silently change provenance. Authored actual-owner controls preserve an allocation flag on the excluded teenager, compare raw original catalogue weights with projected weights, refuse malformed or contradictory excluded-donor literals pinned before issuance, and mutate detached projections during final catalogue/preparation callbacks. These controls remain unrun pending guarded acceptance.

 This commit changes no receiving graph, canonical columns, source-knownness, tax rules, PUF allocator, calibration, dataset, paper/site deployment or release gate. The graph integration lane owns separate private model-support CREATE branches with exact schema Slices; it will leave the receiving survey spine, clone expansion and geography unchanged. Whole-Frame reconstruction, composed cold/required replay, child-containing PUF admission, native donor diagnostics, household holdouts and scenario sensitivity remain pending.

+# Child property-income graph candidate
+
+This source-only fragment connects the source-qualified ASEC age 15–17 donor
+projection to the real paired empirical model and original-coordinate draws.
+It depends on separately reviewed numerical, source-qualifier and generic graph
+adapter revisions. Its tests are authored and unrun. It supplies no production
+support default and is not connected to the default financial, tax or PUF host.
+
+Six declared nodes expose the complete model-support schema:
+
+1. `child_property.donors` creates a private donor support population. Original
+   source coordinates are separate from its minted index IDs. The explicit
+   original-household design-weight column enters the fit; unit index weights
+   exist only to satisfy the support Frame contract.
+2. `child_property.recipients` creates a private population containing every
+   selected original recipient, its exact coordinates, source age, component
+   knownness, eligibility and reason. Keeping this population nonempty permits
+   zero eligible children without a sentinel or an empty weight vector. It
+   emits the separate recipient projection and complete scenario artifact.
+3. `child_property.fit` is the reusable typed empirical-fit node. Full-source
+   donors are independent of target sampling and clone expansion. The donor
+   projection excludes the selected preparation digest; changing target
+   sampling can change custody keys but not the fitted paired donor law.
+4. `child_property.draw` is the reusable keyed-draw node. Its declared Boolean
+   eligibility input selects the original recipients internally. The full
+   source coordinate plus `child-property-v1` and `pattern`/`donor` suffixes
+   determine uniforms. Clone IDs, row order and scenario hashes do not.
+5. `child_property.attach` reconstructs the real model and draws from the
+   retained source projections, verifies exact typed artifacts, and fills only
+   jointly unknown eligible O/D cells on both initial clones. It writes
+   `child_property_completion_status` and `child_property_imputed`; a model zero
+   has status `imputed_zero`, never source nonreceipt. Existing source-knownness,
+   all nonrecipient amounts, other columns, groups and geography are preserved.
+6. `child_property.verify` requalifies the source again and compares all table
+   values/dtypes/missingness, effective weights and strata. It emits typed
+   verification evidence that still requires the host's complete-population
+   check, including owners and the ledger.
+
+`ChildPropertyBoundary` requires the actual authenticated preparation, retained
+receiving `Population`, explicit options, typed host edges and exact artifact
+pins. Its `require_parent` callback must recheck the host's issued parent and
+return that exact Population. The fragment checks the callback's code, defaults
+and closure identity, retained source issuance, complete source projections,
+configuration and parent physical seals before and after callbacks. The real
+source qualifier executes on every fresh check; serialized projections alone
+cannot create a boundary. A detected execution/materialization failure revokes
+the boundary for future checks.
+
+The country host must call `verify_materialized` on both cold and required
+replay. Required cache hits skip kernel bodies. This method requires the actual
+receiving population, both support populations, all verification-node input
+`ArtifactValue`s and its output verification `ArtifactValue`. It re-executes the
+real empirical fit and keyed draw independently of those artifacts, compares
+all three complete populations with maintained replay equality, repeats source
+and parent verification, and checks final output seals. The returned document
+is descriptive evidence; it is not an issued financial, tax-complete or release
+handle.
+
+Root-owned host integration remains explicit: insert after the complete survey
+clones, atomic geography and current-property attachment, before property-tax
+rebasing/gates and PUF. The receiving version must have a structural base so
+the two amount writes are declared rewrites. Supply the real preparation,
+allocation, frame-context and ordering edges/pins; retain the actual parent
+owner in the callback and in the common host's live/source/replay seals. Bind
+the actual run manifest's producer keys, implementation identities and source
+identities when resolving artifact descriptors. This fragment reconstructs
+payloads and checks typed paired producers; it does not independently issue
+the common host's parent or validate an arbitrary claimed run manifest. Bind
+the checked completion evidence into the tax gate without changing its
+all-person completeness requirement. No unresolved adult class is completed by
+this child candidate. The disabled/default path must remain unchanged.
+
+Tests separate pure descriptive fixtures from actual owner execution. Pure
+fixtures test the real numerical law and graph patch, exact large IDs, clone
+joins, zero stress, zero eligible children, known-incumbent refusal, exact
+artifact bindings and drift anywhere in the receiving state. Actual-owner tests
+reuse tiny authenticated survey fixtures whose sole teenager donor is absent
+from the selected target sample. They run an invented receiving prefix and the
+actual six-node fragment, including cold/required replay and final-owner
+mutation controls. They do not claim actual financial/tax/PUF host acceptance.
+
+The accepted receiving Frame profile has no explicit links; the maintained
+whole-population comparison refuses nonempty links rather than dropping them.
+
+Source projections and draw/completion JSON are private and bounded at 64 MiB;
+selected originals are capped at 600,000. The generic model also has its 64 MiB
+limit. JSON size checks follow object construction. No measured bytes-per-row,
+peak memory or national capacity is claimed. This first implementation repeats
+source requalification and model reconstruction at validation boundaries; a
+separately reviewed sizing ladder and possible compact artifact representation
+are required before a large candidate. Source-only tests cannot establish that
+runtime performance or scientific donor support is adequate for release.

-# Final report: stacked-pool to release CD-vintage provenance
-
-## Outcome
-
-The producer/consumer defect is fixed. The production stacked route now
-produces the same authenticated congressional-district contract that release
-preflight requires: the canonical crosswalk SHA, target vintage
-`119th_congress`, and positive household
-`congressional_district_geoid` support. Geography remains outside source
-assembly, and the release guard still fails closed on every mismatch
-(`packages/microcosm-build/src/microcosm/build/us_runtime/operator_boundary.py:346-406`;
-`tools/build_us_fiscal_refresh_release.py:2565-2613,8608-8612`).
-
-## Five-part repair
-
-1. The stacked CLI requires path/SHA pairs for the national PUMA ladder and
-   canonical 117th-to-119th CD crosswalk. Both declared hashes must equal the
-   repository pins before the source bytes are authenticated
-   (`tools/build_us_multispine_pool.py:563-594,897-1004`). The real geography
-   operator runs immediately after operator-free source assembly and before
-   gap fill or cloning
-   (`packages/microcosm-build/src/microcosm/build/us_runtime/operator_boundary.py:346-406`;
-   `tools/build_us_multispine_pool.py:5290-5334`).
-
-2. The configured namespace, checkpoint identity, persisted stage receipts,
-   and terminal manifest bind both byte authorities, source and target
-   vintages, assignment declaration, overlap algorithm, operator order, seed
-   site/stream/value, and ordered native-household output receipt
-   (`tools/build_us_multispine_pool.py:814-928,1300-1469,1711-1930,3530-3635,3989-4027,4133-4215`).
-
-3. Nullable H5 publication accepts validated root attributes, writes them in
-   the same temporary HDFStore as the fixed entity tables, verifies their
-   exact round trip, and atomically replaces the destination only after all
-   checks pass. The stacked publisher supplies the crosswalk-SHA and target-
-   vintage attrs
-   (`packages/microcosm-build/src/microcosm/build/us_runtime/h5_io.py:1463-1699`;
-   `tools/build_us_multispine_pool.py:4423-4519`). Schema-9 loading also binds
-   those physical attrs and the live household geography/clone lineage back to
-   the manifest
-   (`packages/microcosm-build/src/microcosm/build/us_runtime/h5_io.py:671-923,1032-1193,1321-1364`).
-
-4. Release preflight now reads root attrs and the household frame from one
-   HDFStore snapshot through the shared fixed/table-aware reader. Its existing
-   equality checks for crosswalk SHA, current target vintage, and positive
-   household district support are unchanged
-   (`tools/build_us_fiscal_refresh_release.py:2565-2677`).
-
-5. A tiny fixture invokes the real stacked entry point, post-assembly
-   geography operator, fixed-H5 publisher, and real release assertion. It
-   proves both root attrs and positive household district support; consumer
-   tests reject changed attrs, changed native geography, missing lineage, and
-   divergent clone geography
-   (`packages/microcosm-build/tests/test_us_multispine_pool_tool.py:2279-2335`;
-   `packages/microcosm-build/tests/test_us_multispine_pool_h5_io.py:1357-1440`;
-   `packages/microcosm-build/tests/test_us_fiscal_refresh_builder.py:1061-1184`).
-
-## Assignment design and anti-rot
-
-A one-value deterministic PUMA-to-CD lookup is not defensible because 2020
-PUMAs and congressional districts do not nest. The existing national ladder
-preserves observed ACS PUMA, assigns missing ASEC PUMA proportional to 2020
-PUMA population, then draws CD and county within PUMA proportional to block-
-population overlap. Stable row/state/PUMA order and the ledgered
-`legacy_puma_ladder` / `geography_legacy` / seed `0` contract make the draw
-reproducible for fixed inputs
-(`packages/microcosm-build/src/microcosm/build/us_runtime/puma_ladder.py:1-20,293-383,638-698`;
-`packages/microcosm-build/src/microcosm/build/spec_engine/seeds.py:870-887`;
-`packages/microcosm-build/src/microcosm/build/us/spec/spine.yaml:421-432`).
-
-The spec and schemas now declare the crosswalk source/vintage authority and
-geography assignment, while field-usage and inventory owners cover the new
-surface exactly

-`packages/microcosm-build/src/microcosm/build/spec_engine/inventory_coverage.py:348-380,1649-1712`).
-
-The generated US spec SHA is
-`5378bb9189aec96f50da22aac71e5bd2c3d919e9795f6ef2147e0bc9c739dd8e`.
-Coverage is exact at 42,120/42,120 fields, 49 claims, and 41/41 inventory
-checks. Principal legitimate movements are pointer inventory
-`6d7353c6...` to `bc4a948a...`, full checkpoint `b6a47fac...` to
-`a128a85f...`, and the new geography identity `f49425ca...`; executable
-versions move checkpoint 11 to 12, terminal manifest 8 to 9, and nullable H5
-materializer 2 to 3

-Stage 1 must add the canonical PUMA-ladder and CD-crosswalk path/SHA pairs
-listed exactly at the end of `_LANE-NOTES.md`, run off-chain, and rebuild under
-the new checkpoint identity. The old smoke checkpoints and pool publication
-are not reusable: configured identity now includes both new input pins and the
-geography contract, checkpoint materializer is 12, terminal manifest schema is
-9, and nullable H5 materializer is 3

-The six pre-existing immutable source artifacts can be reused; the Stage-1
-checkpoint namespace and pool H5 must be regenerated with the two additional
-authenticated authorities (`tools/build_us_multispine_pool.py:931-1004,1292-1319`).

+Earlier review/failure packets were not changed. Shared source, other tests,

+`test_us_spine_blindness.py` appeared during the pass; it is another owner's work
+and was neither inspected nor changed here. No reset, clean, rebase, commit,
+staging, project imports, collection/tests, project scripts, dependency resolution,
+network/browser/agents, native/private/installed payloads, or execution-evidence
+containers were used. Source reads, metadata/hashes, standard-library AST parsing,
+direct Ruff and whitespace checks were the inspection/validation operations.
+
+## Corrections and source evidence
+
+1. **Fragment identity/counts (S1):** exact ordered Node IDs now bind receiving1,
+   optional roles0/2, child6 and tax3 before compilation. Receiving and role
+   stages also check before their intermediate compilation. The child document
+   count derives from retained nodes. Direct boundary controls use real retained
+   declarations: moving an actual tax node into child7 while reducing tax to2
+   preserves the total but refuses; wrong receiving identity and reversed roles
+   refuse too. No issuer, executor or compiler is replaced.
+2. **Knownness provenance (S2):** the portable flag derives from the child
+   verification bytes produced by `_child_expected` reconstruction. The existing
+   materialized child verifier and exact payload comparison remain mandatory
+   before issuance. The document hashes those same bytes. The positive assertion
+   binds the flag and hash to the retained payload and issued artifact hashes.
+   Arbitrary JSON flags acquire no authority.
+3. **Roles disabled (T1):** separate test selectors author actual cold/required
+   49-node status-enabled and 45-node status-disabled host runs. Each explicitly
+   selects the partial ACS+ASEC fixture (2/3 selection, seed41) with the full-source
+   teenage donor outside the selected ASEC household. They assert actual checked
+   views, 39/35-node retained bases, no role fragment or writes, exact incumbent
+   role preservation/absence, final completeness and declaration/manifest/payload/
+   artifact parity, staged base hits, extension misses on cold and all required
+   hits. The 51-node adverse suite is not multiplied.
+4. **Child adversaries/copying (T2/T6):** exact full refusal strings are
+   `CHILD_PROPERTY_RETAINED_VALUES_CHANGED`,
+   `CHILD_PROPERTY_RECONSTRUCTED_ARTIFACT_CHANGED` and
+   `CHILD_PROPERTY_MATERIALIZED_VERIFICATION`. Source ordering is
+   `verify_materialized` evidence seal -> `_current`/`_pure` -> reconstruction ->
+   `_artifacts` -> `_verification_value`; the parent mutation fails in `_pure`,
+   artifact bytes at reconstruction comparison, and producer/key mismatch at
+   `_verification_value`. Revocation and original-base checks remain. The comment
+   now states verification can reconstruct/refit. Executor `_apply_result` FILTER
+   calls `Frame.select`; `Frame.__init__` copies every table. Role `_patch_columns`
+   calls `_copied_tables(deep=True)`. The test additionally asserts the actual
+   base stamp is unchanged immediately after mutating the reconstructed parent.
+   No counterfeit issuer or replacement parent is used to avoid this cost.
+5. **Ordering and conservation (T3):** assertions cover all actual prefix9 nodes,
+   financial/property attachment and enabled status BIND before completion
+   receiving. Both actual observed FILTER transitions must preserve entity
+   dimensions, complete tables, schema, strata and weights and append precisely
+   one ledger record. Source uses separate `operation="filter"` and
+   `policy="conserve"` fields, not a `filter_conserve` operation token. Total,
+   stratum and partition mass must match. Actual owners/versions are checked from
+   property/status writers to completion FILTER, optional role BIND, child ATTACH,
+   tax FILTER and final tax-leaf writer. No pseudo-node or generic API change.
+6. **Authentic identity controls (T4/T5):** the existing issued tax-rebased51 run
+   refuses as a second completion parent. The 49-node warm handle undergoes a
+   same-values/different-Population-identity substitution; restoration cannot undo
+   revocation and its base/cold peer remain checked. Extracted private union
+   observation and final-I/O checks remain in the production `_extend` path.
+   Tests reuse actual observed51 evidence to refuse a base miss (even though the
+   manifest content key stays equal), a missing observation and changed retained
+   source/node/implementation/artifact identities. The final-I/O checker re-reads
+   the real source/store and implementations, without executing kernels or adding
+   a fit. No fake runner/owner is used. Other original final-I/O population-mutation
+   controls remain distinct from these exact final-identity refusals.
+
+The fixture's source-construction wrappers now restore before issuance so later
+fixture composition cannot recursively wrap an earlier fixture's closure, replace
+its new literals, or reuse the earlier restoration output directory. Source pins
+remain under the existing real fixture's monkeypatch lifetime. This is authored
+source logic, not demonstrated fixture execution.
+
+S3's empty-ordering generic suggestion is not a live host defect: the host supplies
+two typed property edges and the completion FILTER follows the full cloned spine.
+Frozen receiving/tax APIs and compiler/source-blindness guards remain unchanged.
+The independently confirmed old status+tax42 complement-owner defect is unrelated;
+its isolated successor remains root-owned. This pass does not change shared
+`graph_atomic_survey_financial.py`, broaden accepted owners, or certify that path.

+- Standard-library `ast.parse` passed for both owned Python files; selector counts
+  were obtained from their AST without importing project code.
+- Direct `/opt/homebrew/bin/ruff check` passed for both owned Python files.
+- Direct `/opt/homebrew/bin/ruff format --check` passed: both files formatted.
+- `git diff --check` returned0 without findings. Individual untracked source/test/
+  doc checks used `git diff --no-index --check /dev/null PATH`; each reported no
+  whitespace diagnostics and returned the no-index difference status1.
+- No runtime failure/success evidence was created. Some source-location searches
+  missed guessed filenames and were resolved with `rg`; no execution containers
+  were opened. Direct Ruff found no lint failures in this correction pass.

Guarded execution must validate source attachment restoration, member pins, selected-child/adult completeness, and actual role/status custody.

A valid GQ/zero-weight source fixture needs separate source-owner review/changes. The selected positive child draw does not establish modeled-zero scientific coverage.

+correction section above is the current source-only handoff.
+
+# US completion host source report — 2026-09-13
+
+Source implementation is authored for root inspection. **All tests and runtime
+checks remain UNRUN. This is not combined-host acceptance.**
+
+Branch: `us-completion-host-integration-20260913`.
+Resolved base / unchanged HEAD: `6aa745c8762c3e4a140b8168470de5827e12c5cb`.
+Frozen R2 plan verified SHA-256:
+`b402d6be9d374774e27da7bf42fb83a216305d4cddd2ad8347c8149536269a29`.
+Read the original independent APPROVE_SOURCE_PLAN review and repository instructions.
+
+Implemented explicit `household_roles=False` and `child_property=None`, strict
+unsupported-mode refusals and exact explicit ChildPropertyOptions. Disabled
+serialization remains conditional. The actual issued 35/39 property parent is
+retained with its original preparation, store, keys, registry and legacy/property
+outputs. Registries are copied before extension. A privately reconstructed full-row
+receiving version, optional reconciled roles, unchanged child6 and separate tax3
+compose the union; all issued prefix nodes must hit cache. Tax declarations use
+the independently completed Frame and bind the actual child verification edge.
+
+The existing issuer/state/checker retain the full union, all node populations and
+states, registry identity and completion custody. Actual completed/support
+Populations and typed store evidence reach the real child materialized verifier,
+including required replay. Source/store work precedes final pure seals. Failed
+completion checks revoke permanently. Old property verification receives its
+retained original output. Documentation labels old routing as pre-child source
+gaps, preserves modeled-zero semantics and the all-person tax/PUF gate.

+Output file: `FINAL_REPORT.md` (this report). PROGRESS.md was maintained in place.
+No commit or push was made: the task-specific prohibition overrides the standing
+commit order. No reset, rebase, clean, staging or other-owner edit occurred.
+
+Static verification:
+- AST parsing passed for all three owned Python files.
+- `_FinancialRunState` has 41 annotated fields and its constructor has 41
+  positional arguments; the new state-tail alignment was inspected statically.
+- Direct `/opt/homebrew/bin/ruff check` passed for the three owned Python files.
+- Direct Ruff format checks passed; only owned files were formatted.
+- `git diff --check` passed for the edited tracked host/journal files.
+- Exactly **10 test functions / 20 source-expanded cases** authored. No collection
+  or tests ran. Positive fixture: one shared cold51/required51 pair. Separate
+  incomplete-adult case: one host run and actual PUF qualifier refusal. Three
+  adverse child-custody cases reuse actual run evidence with separately constructed
+  private boundaries; they do not add graph fits. Final-I/O controls poison the
+  two positive handles last. No mocked owner or executor substitutes were added.
+
+Remaining work / missing acceptance seams:
+- Independently review the full combined diff and the other agent's receiving/tax
+  seam APIs. Their files were read but never edited by this task.
+- Execute the new fixture only under root's fresh bounded resource approval.
+  Its pre-issuance ACS housing restriction, ASEC donor sampling, coherent role and
+  status literals, final member pins and monetary attachment composition are
+  authored assumptions, not demonstrated runtime results. No outside-owned
+  fixture edit has been established as necessary by source inspection.
+- 45/49 counts are source-derived; this test file's full positive execution target
+  is 51. Dedicated 45/49 execution controls, unsupported-GQ and zero-weight host
+  fixture coverage, and broader identity/adversarial cases remain to be added or
+  reconciled with existing component controls by root.
+- Root owns graph/source inventories, AST import-use records, test-spine/CI
+  classification, identity/golden reconciliation and the exact final closure and
+  resource-call budget. None were updated or run here. Existing upstream component
+  passes do not certify this composition; generic/country/status/runtime gates
+  remain independently required.
+- No national-scale/native/PUF-fit, scientific age-transfer, fiscal, release,
+  publication or default-adoption claim is made.
+
+Failure evidence: initial direct Ruff runs found only import-order findings in
+the new helper and new test file; these were corrected and subsequent checks
+passed. Several source-search commands returned missing-path/no-match statuses
+while locating maintained modules; no runtime failure evidence was produced or
+removed. No project imports, collection, dependency resolution, network/browser/agents,
+source staging, preflight, guard, native/private payload access or installed-resource
+inspection was performed. Work stayed inside the requested 20-minute source window.

+# Optional US survey completion host
+
+This source implementation adds opt-in completion to
+`run_atomic_survey_financial`. It has not been imported, collected or executed
+in this task. Component acceptance does not establish combined-host acceptance.
+
+Select an exact `ChildPropertyOptions` with explicit scenario ID, scope,
+`SupportRequirements`, `JointTransport` and keyed stream. Also select
+`property_income` and `rebase_property_taxes=True`. `household_roles=True`
+requires child completion; its default is `False`. Existing `person_status`
+remains independent. Unsupported combinations refuse before source execution.
+There are no scientific defaults or new public issuers. The result remains an
+existing-issued `AtomicSurveyFinancialRunValues`.
+
+The host first issues and retains the actual property parent (35 nodes, or 39
+with status), with tax rebasing disabled. It retains its preparation, source
+objects, original legacy/property populations, manifests, store, keys and kernel
+registry. Registries are copied before extension. The union executes in the same
+store and requires every already-issued parent node to hit cache.
+
+| Selected path | Union nodes |
+| --- | ---: |
+| Existing financial / property / property plus tax | 19 / 35 / 38 |
+| Existing status variants | 23 / 39 / 42 |
+| Property, child, tax | 45 |
+| Property, status, child, tax | 49 |
+| Property, status, roles, child, tax | 51 |
+
+A full-row completion FILTER creates a distinct version. Qualified household
+roles optionally add two nodes after incumbent reconciliation. Child completion
+adds six nodes, including the generic empirical fit and draw. A separate tax
+FILTER, split and gate follow child verification. Tax declarations use the
+independently reconstructed completed frame, including its actual role/status
+and imputation columns. All three tax nodes bind the actual typed child
+verification artifact. The country child verifier owns canonical child evidence;
+the tax seam binds its payload hash.
+
+Before compilation, the helper binds exact ordered node identities for receiving1,
+optional roles0/2, child6 and tax3. Compensating child/tax count drift refuses even
+if the union total is unchanged. The portable child count comes from retained
+nodes. Its source-knownness flag comes from the independently reconstructed
+child verification bytes that the materialized verifier checks against actual
+store evidence; the document retains that same payload's SHA-256.
+
+The private helper independently applies the maintained receiving FILTER and
+role reconstruction before constructing `ChildPropertyBoundary`. Its parent
+callback returns that same retained Population after pure checks of the issued
+base, source ownership, executable closure and complete receiving/role stamps.
+Full base/source and role qualification occurs at host boundaries. Ordinary
+child borrows do not repeat role parsing. The child fragment itself still
+requalifies its source on each `_current()` call.
+
+Both cold execution and required replay load artifacts through the actual
+compiled producer, manifest, store, keys and numeric scope. Both invoke the real
+child materialized verifier with actual executor-completed output, both actual
+support Populations, every actual verification input and the actual verification
+output. Required hits skip kernels, so that final verifier is mandatory. Expected
+full-population states, receipts, owners, weights and ledgers are compared using
+the maintained graph state checker. Final source/store I/O precedes pure seals.
+A failed enabled-host check permanently revokes its completion boundary.
+
+Original property verification always receives its original property output.
+Status preservation follows the actual FILTER lineage; structural operations
+legitimately change inherited owners. Qualified survey reference persons confer
+no tax/SPM role, filing status or eligibility. Existing property completion
+routing is labeled `pre_child_source_gaps`; those counts are not post-child
+completion counts. Public completion metadata is aggregate only.
+
+Only qualified jointly unmeasured eligible children receive paired modeled O/D,
+using full original ASEC teenage donors and original household design weights.
+Source observations and all nonrecipient/complement cells remain unchanged.
+Modeled zero remains `imputed_zero`, distinct from observation. Tax completeness
+requires finite nonnegative ordinary interest and dividends for every physical
+person, including dependents and zero-weight rows. Unknown adults remain
+incomplete and the maintained PUF admission gate must refuse before fitting.
+
+The authored finite tests include separately selectable cold/required 49-node
+(roles disabled, status enabled) and 45-node (roles/status disabled) pairs, one
+shared cold/required 51-node fixture, and one incomplete-adult fixture. The positive
+fixture composes status/role/money literals and attachments before issuance,
+keeps its teenage donor outside the selected sample, and includes housing roles
+only. It does not erase unsupported GQ incumbents. It covers exact declarations,
+paired draws, unchanged complement/weights/geography, real tax completeness,
+detached custody, altered artifacts/identity and final-I/O revocation. The 45/49
+pairs explicitly select the partial ACS+ASEC fixture, preserve incumbent role
+columns without role writes, call actual checked views, and assert count,
+declaration/manifest/payload parity and required hits. They do not parameterize
+the 51-node adverse suite. All 16 functions / 32 source-expanded cases are UNRUN,
+including those fixture-composition assumptions.
+
+Lineage assertions cover all nine prefix nodes and actual financial, property
+and enabled status writers before receiving. Both FILTERs must preserve entity
+dimensions, tables, strata and weights, append one ledger record with
+`operation="filter"` and `policy="conserve"`, and conserve total, stratum and
+partition mass. Assertions follow actual structural owner/version transitions
+through role/child attachment and tax-leaf writes. FILTER uses `Frame.select`,
+whose Frame constructor copies tables; role column patching additionally uses
+explicit deep table copies. The parent-mutation adversary checks the retained
+base stamp immediately after mutation and retains permanent child revocation.
+
+The 49-node control also replaces a retained completed Population with equal
+values under a different identity and checks refusal and permanent revocation.
+Other controls reuse real observed 51-node evidence to challenge a base cache
+miss (which does not change manifest content identity), missing observations,
+and final source/key/implementation/artifact identities. Final identity controls
+re-read the authentic store and sources without executing kernels. The child
+artifact and verification-identity adversaries can reconstruct/refit; they are
+not fit-free checks. Source-construction adapters are restored before issuance
+to prevent later fixture composition from wrapping an earlier fixture's closure.
+
+Remaining review scope: T4's financial-only parent refusal needs an authentic
+19/23-node run; the retained tax-rebased 51-node parent refusal is authored. T5
+does not exhaust all initial base-key/artifact, final declaration/manifest or
+role-reconciliation adversaries. T6's actual source composition and checked-view
+behavior need guarded execution; source confirms PUF calls the completeness gate
+before source admission. T7 GQ and zero-weight scientific coverage stays open:
+the positive fixture excludes unsupported GQ and its source helper fixes positive
+weights. A coherent new source fixture requires separate owner review. Unknown
+values must remain unknown. The status+tax42 complement check now uses the retained pre-tax property
+population, where the original status writer still owns its columns. Final
+completion and tax populations retain separate full custody and reconstruction
+checks. The isolated repair passed source review; its guarded runtime check and
+combined-host acceptance remain pending.
+
+A new guarded resource proposal is still required. Source-visible work includes
+base issuance, one receiving/role reconstruction, independent child numeric
+reconstruction, union execution, artifact loading twice during extension, and a
+mandatory materialized child verifier. Each host requalification invokes the
+base checker, optional full role qualification and source-closure reads. Child
+construction has its initial qualification plus `_current()`; each executed
+country child kernel calls `_current()` twice, and materialized verification
+calls it twice even on required replay. These are call-site descriptions, not a
+measured file/read/memory budget. The child 64 MiB artifact and status 2 GiB
+serialization limits remain upstream constraints. No national capacity, native
+PUF, fiscal, scientific age-transfer or release acceptance is claimed.
+
+The combined source and runtime-module classification passed independent source
+review. Root owns the final source closure, identity/golden reconciliation and
+independent runtime gates. Source approval does not establish runtime acceptance.

+# CI file sharding
+
+The fast `rest`, engine `us-am` and installed-wheel inventory each run across
+four independent GitHub Actions matrix jobs per Python version. The initial
+partition uses sorted file paths round-robin. It balances file counts, not
+measured runtime; an expensive single module can still dominate a job.
+
+Files are the smallest scheduling unit. All tests in a module, its module-scoped
+fixtures, cold/required pairs and mutation controls stay in the same pytest
+invocation. `us-am:build` and `us-am:other-shards` remain separate processes
+inside each of the four jobs, preserving import isolation. The US `us-qs` and
+UK process divisions also remain unchanged.
+
+The environment tiers keep their original scope:
+
+- Fast covers the existing inventory except the explicit `ENGINE_ONLY` list.
+- Engine groups partition the full inventory, with the existing country change
+  filters and US/UK extras. Both Python versions stay unchanged.
+- Wheels partition the complete inventory, including `ENGINE_ONLY` files. Their
+  engine markers/import guards still skip when appropriate. Each matrix job
+  builds every real wheel, installs into a clean constrained venv, checks import
+  and spec identity, installs the same source extras, performs the HDF smoke and
+  confirms engine absence before its portion of the full suite.
+
+No tests are renamed, newly marked, skipped or replaced by sharding. Only the
+partition regression file is added. The independent seed-diagnostic job and
+the required `ci-ok` aggregation are unchanged. More jobs repeat setup and
+wheel-building work; shorter wall time is not guaranteed by this configuration.
+
+## Selection and verification
+
+`tools/ci_test_groups.py` owns the file partition. For example:
+
+```sh
+python3 tools/ci_test_groups.py --list rest --shard 1/4
+python3 tools/ci_test_groups.py --list us-am:build --shard 2/4
+python3 tools/ci_test_groups.py --list wheels --shard 4/4
+```
+
+`INDEX/COUNT` is 1-based, with `1 <= INDEX <= COUNT <= 64`. Selection sorts
+the files and takes `files[INDEX-1::COUNT]` after the group/process filter.
+Duplicate inventory entries, invalid ranges and an inventory too small to fill
+every requested shard fail. Omitting the option preserves the original full
+group selection. `wheels` is deliberately separate from the fast classifier.
+
+The workflow uses a checked command substitution and rejects empty output
+before turning it into a bash array. It does not hide selector failures inside
+process substitution, which can otherwise produce an empty pytest invocation
+and inadvertently run the entire suite.
+
+```sh
+python3 tools/ci_test_groups.py --verify
+python3 -I -B -S packages/microcosm-build/tests/test_ci_test_groups.py
+```
+
+These commands need only the standard library and Git; they do not import
+Microcosm, collect data tests, build wheels or run a microsimulation. The first
+proves the nonempty, disjoint unions across groups, processes and configured
+shards and rejects nested tests. The second exercises invalid/empty/duplicate
+selection and verifies the actual workflow matrix covers each tier exactly
+once while retaining the Python versions, process isolation and wheel boundary.
+
+Adding a file can shift subsequent round-robin assignments. The coverage proof
+must still pass on the current checkout. Future tuning should use separately
+reviewed module-level timing evidence; file counts are not timing evidence and
+must not justify weaker checks or longer timeouts.

+The inventory includes only `packages/<package>/tests/test_*.py` at that exact
+depth. Git's explicit `:(glob)` pathspec and a matching path-depth check keep
+nested test files out of the flat inventory. A separate tracked-file scan makes
+`--verify` reject nested tests instead of silently dropping their coverage.

 `INDEX/COUNT` is 1-based, with `1 <= INDEX <= COUNT <= 64`. Selection sorts
 the files and takes `files[INDEX-1::COUNT]` after the group/process filter.
 Duplicate inventory entries, invalid ranges and an inventory too small to fill

+## 14 September completion checks
+
+The child property-income component at
+`d68e078cfb01fbde98e8fcf493d9443ef6c18d32` passed 58 pure tests and all 14
+actual-owner cases on invented inputs. The owner cases ran in five disjoint
+executions, covering the positive cold/required pair and the full authored
+mutation/refusal set. This is complete component coverage across bounded runs,
+not one monolithic test execution. Root reconciled their source, resource,
+executable and owned-output checks. The aggregate acceptance has SHA256
+`a26791e06d8ecd8a0a6d55e1f6fe4f976e9d65f74ab0243aef6c2ac62356d0c9`.
+
+The corrected private support-frame stamp preserves each support population's
+actual schema, table and weight rosters. It no longer applies the unrelated
+US receiving-population schema to these internal donor/recipient frames. The
+complete population and source-identity checks remain active. These component
+bytes are integrated into the combined host; its 45-, 49- and 51-node acceptance
+cases remain unrun on the combined source.
+
+The scanner candidate at `a93b7c7f54038e6ef67f647bb4337e91bc23e27c` passed 82
+algorithm controls and 7,029 exhaustive input pairs, plus the actual
+producer's corrected-pin acceptance and prior-pin refusal. The digest candidate
+at `0062b8fb7e772557274397f320c1c0214c5e82cb` passed 36 extracted real-function
+cases. Their producer and digest acceptance receipts have SHA256
+`021dfc42be0cab2fd1dadf5bca88a54566c5f4c0ddb25aec7443758b291b50c1`
+and `3783dac416e6103aa7b876e4ad5c2255109b9458eed9f9b8387af15df7cce045`,
+respectively. These changes are not yet adopted: dense scanner workloads were
+slower in preliminary measurements, and a fixed paired benchmark is pending.
+Correctness alone establishes no performance improvement.
+
+Separately, native property/tax attempt V4 stopped at its 21,600-second CPU
+ceiling without a final acceptance receipt. Its approved partial monitoring
+projection identifies source-read and hashing activity within retained samples.
+It supplies neither complete call counts nor a whole-run profile. This known
+CPU-limit stop is distinct from the earlier native PUF attempt above, whose
+stopping cause remains unknown. Neither attempt provides accepted native PUF
+output. The next runtime milestone remains the small combined host, followed
+by native input completion, scale measurement and the release gates above.

+The current operational path requires this local workspace and its Git identity.
+The calibration seam derives that identity from its module's checkout location;
+standalone installed-wheel execution does not yet have a supported provenance

Subject: [PATCH 249/255] Compose a private registry in the PUF55 recipient
 graph tests

The fixture registered its two recipient kernels into the issued financial
run's own registry, which the run seals at issuance and re-checks in
check_atomic_survey_financial_run, so every test errored with
FINANCIAL_KERNEL_REGISTRY_CHANGED. Production (graph_survey_puf55)
composes a private KernelRegistry over the run's kernels; the fixture now
does the same. The last-owner mutation test also accepts the
node-population refusal that now fires first, as its siblings do.

Subject: [PATCH 250/255] Nest the student-pins patch inside the property host
 generator's lifetime

extended_status_host recorded its student _MEMBER_PINS patch on the outer
MonkeyPatch context after the generator had already patched the same
attribute, so on exit it restored the generator-era pins over the value
the module's first fixture installed, and that fixture's retained student
receipts failed STUDENT_CONTENT_CHANGED at its own teardown (attributed by
pytest to the last test, tax42). The patch now lives in its own context
nested inside the generator's lifetime, so undo order is LIFO.

Subject: [PATCH 251/255] Shard the rest lane six ways and wheels eight ways;
 report slow tests

One rest job and both wheels 2/4 jobs hit GitHub's six-hour limit at 76-79%
of their shards (the alphabetically late survey-graph modules cluster there);
the partition is by file count, so a few heavy modules dominate a job. Six
and eight shards spread the heavy modules 13 and 9-10 per job instead of up
to 23, and every sharded pytest run now prints --durations=25 so the next
imbalance is visible in the job log. tools/ci_test_groups.py --verify and
its regression test pass.

Subject: [PATCH 252/255] Patch the code pin in every UK calibration test that
 reaches it

Main's #896 resolves the local git code pin before any I/O in
run_uk_calibration, so four tests that previously refused or read back
before the pin now reach git rev-parse. In the installed-wheels CI job
the package lives under /tmp/wheels-venv, where no repository exists,
and test_readback_failure_updates_build_record_and_failed_attempt
failed with "Could not resolve the local git code pin". Give those four
tests the existing invented_code_pin fixture, as their siblings already
have; the unresolved-pin refusal test keeps its own failing pin.

Verified: the file passes 23/23 in the repository and 23/23 with a git
that exits 128 on PATH, which reproduces the wheels job condition.

Ship the native property and tax graph without the child-property
completion, keep the native CPU cap and remove the repeated-verification
cost instead of buying it, and make a from-scratch build plus
certification of the default the merge gate for this integration and a
standing check on main.

+## 15 September decisions
+
+- The native property and tax graph ships without the child-property
+  completion. Persons under 15 carry zero interest and dividend income, as the
+  incumbent default does: in Build P, 0 of 37,248 persons under 15 have
+  taxable interest or dividends, against 918 of 8,669 persons aged 15 to 17
+  with taxable interest. The completion's transfer from 15-to-17-year-old
+  donors is an unmeasured assumption that claims no source observation. It
+  returns only as a count-calibrated policy anchored on an external tabulation
+  of children's unearned income, such as IRS SOI's Form 8615 statistics.
+  Turning it on runs the ten completion nodes; the 35 base nodes replay from
+  the store. A pilot may declare a candidate-scope policy to exercise the
+  nodes; a release does not.
+- Native runs keep the 21,600-second CPU cap. A cap hit closes the run with
+  its complete CPU-by-code-chain ledger and authorizes no larger rerun. The
+  cost is removed at its source before any native run repeats: sources are
+  authenticated once per run with memoised validation, source keys are derived
+  once per run and re-derived at run end, the ACS record scan runs at C speed,
+  and column digests hash buffers rather than values. Measured on the
+  nineteen-node pilot, node execution is 1,143 of 5,362 seconds; the rest is
+  repeated admission and verification of 3.48 GiB of sources.
+- Main must demonstrably build the certified default from raw sources and pass
+  its preflight and certification gates. The last from-scratch build is Build P
+  (28 July 2026, policyengine-us 1.764.6); every later default is a
+  supplied-parent enrichment of that file. The from-scratch build and
+  certification run on this integration tree before #893 merges and on main as
+  a standing check afterwards, and a pull request of this size carries that
+  receipt. The complete native dataset is not the merge gate; it earns default
+  status separately by beating the incumbent on held-out cells.

Subject: [PATCH 254/255] Declare the SPM selection and the provider's reads in
 the fiscal kernel

The fiscal measurement kernel evaluated model outputs through an engine
adapter built with no SPM selection, and its declaration check rested on
a static dependency closure that cannot see what the calculator-generated
measurement variables read: spm_unit_spm_threshold has no input leaves in
the index, although the provider reads the household county, the unit's
tenure and each member's age for every unit it evaluates. An
SPM-dependent output would have been refused by the engine rather than
by the kernel's own declaration.

The kernel now binds the release selection (county) into the model
contract and passes it to the adapter, and a root whose closure reaches a
measurement variable declares age, county_fips and spm_unit_tenure_type
as ordinary leaves, so an undeclared one refuses the node and a missing
value refuses the kernel before the engine runs. The independence role
stays with the engine, which derives it from household structure and
refuses a unit with no classified adult itself. A test pins the
measurement roster against the installed engine and calculator.

Also from the merge review: the seed identity diagnostics roster lists
spm-calculator, which policyengine-us 2.x loads its SPM variables from,
and the loader golden vector is tied by assertion to the seed protocol
implementation hash that explains why the merged value is neither side's.

+## Stack reconcile after #938 — 2026-09-18
+
+Lane: bring `microcosm-us-launch-integration-20260909` (#893) level with
+`origin/main` 8c44daa52 (#938 verify-once merged 2026-09-17), then carry the
+merge down the stacked branches `native-verify-once` (#935),
+`native-scale-transport` (#945), `native-row-ceilings` (#949) and
+`native-retention-seal` (#950). Merges only, never rebases; pins regenerate
+through their generators. Report: `experiments/stack-reconcile-20260918/out.md`.
+
+State: worktree `_worktrees/microcosm-stack-reconcile`, local branches
+`reconcile/<remote-name>`, pushed with `git push origin HEAD:<remote-name>`.
+Starting heads: main 8c44daa52; integration 8a7e1b12d; native-verify-once
+0d04abfcf; native-scale-transport 6fca96f31 (one commit past the brief's
+886f777eb); native-row-ceilings c5ac78d2d; native-retention-seal db7c93871.
+
+Done: survey. Main's delta since the d1196af10 merge base is #938 alone:
+nine files, all under `packages/microcosm-graph/` plus one changelog fragment;
+uv.lock and every pyproject are unchanged, so the approved-lock digest does
+not move. `git merge-tree` predicts one textual conflict, an import-line clash
+in `graph/executor.py` (`import struct` on the branch, `import stat` on main).
+The four downstream merges preview conflict-free at today's heads.
+
+Next: step 1 merge, checks, push; then steps 2–4 in order; then the report.
