Declare SPM measurement scope for mixed country datasets #9461

Open

Description

@MaxGhenis

Country simulations need an explicit source-defined SPM measurement universe when a population includes records outside that universe. Missing composition or geography must not be used to infer exclusion, and excluded records must not become observed nonpoor people.

Add annual INCLUDED/OUTSIDE/UNRESOLVED status, keep outside SPM outcomes missing, and evaluate the canonical threshold provider only for included units. Preserve ordinary program calculations and included units' existing housing valuation. Outside units with positive housing assistance need an explicit annual ordinary valuation with retained source/allocation provenance.

Poverty indicators need nullable stock semantics and consumers must exclude missing statuses from eligible denominators. Automatic dataset extension must not manufacture annual scope or housing declarations. The implementation needs mixed-population, monthly/annual, source-preservation and contributed-reform regression coverage.

This is a source contract for a future compatible dataset. It does not certify existing population membership, outside housing valuations, a managed runtime bundle, or native fiscal results. Related housing/allocation and release work in #9448 needs reconciliation before release.
