Description
Context
The transcript's external reviews identified a substantive special-case failure: the option13 2100 balanced-fix raw backfill implies negative HI payroll-tax rates, which is not economically plausible and likely contaminates option14_stacked at 2100 because it is chained off the balanced-fix baseline.
This is more specific than the general 2100 endpoint issue: it is a solver/constraint failure for balanced-fix HI rates.
Work
- Rerun or debug the
option132100 balanced-fix solve and inspect solved OASDI/HI payroll-tax rates directly. - Enforce nonnegative payroll-tax-rate constraints where required by policy definition.
- Rerun
option14_stacked2100 after fixing the balanced-fix endpoint. - Add a validation check that fails any special-case raw row with negative tax rates unless explicitly allowed and documented.
Acceptance Criteria
option132100 does not rely on negative HI payroll-tax rates.option14_stacked2100 is regenerated from the corrected balanced-fix endpoint.- Special-case endpoint rows pass a rate-bound validation gate before publication.
