The published dataset either omits takes_up_snap_if_eligible or ships it constant True — the engine default — so PolicyEngine-US pays SNAP to 100% of eligible units. FNS measures participation among the eligible at roughly 82%, so universal take-up misstates who receives SNAP and overstates the reach of eligibility-side reforms (populace #243). Add a snap_take_up source stage with the retired enhanced-CPS pipeline's semantics: SPM units whose raw ASEC SPM_SNAPSUB subsidy is positive reported receiving SNAP and always take up; non-reporting units receive seeded draws at exactly the fill rate needed for the overall weighted take-up share to land on the manifest's cited FNS participation rate (0.82), with the share emergent when reporters alone exceed it. Draws are blake2b hashes keyed by stable source identity so support-channel clones of one source unit always agree and reruns are bit-reproducible. The rate is manifest data with its citation, not code. The frame transform is idempotent when the column carries signal and recomputes when it is constant, healing the published all-True landmine. A release gate requires the column nonconstant, every reporting unit taking up, and the weighted share within [0.70, 0.95]; it threads through release gate failures, calibration diagnostics, and both manifests alongside the immigration gate. Verified against the current 233,716-unit base: take-up share 0.821, reported share 0.107, zero reporters denied, gate green. Closes #243 Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
Closes #243. Second half of the SNAP work-requirements input surface (#248), alongside #293 (hours).
The published dataset ships
takes_up_snap_if_eligibleconstantTrue(or omits it — same engine default), so PolicyEngine-US pays SNAP to 100% of eligible units. FNS measures participation among the eligible at ~82%. Universal take-up misstates who receives SNAP and overstates the reach of any eligibility-side reform.This adds a
snap_take_upsource stage following the #266/#293 template: manifest entry + shared runtime handler + frame transform + release gate + builder wiring.Semantics (identical to the retired enhanced-CPS pipeline)
SPM_SNAPSUBreported receiving SNAP; survey measurement wins unconditionally.Draws are blake2b hashes keyed by stable source identity (
source_year/source_household_id/minsource_person_id), so support-channel clones of one source unit always agree and reruns are bit-reproducible. The rate lives in the manifest with its FNS citation — a rate without a citation refuses to run.Healing + gate
snap_take_up_signal): column nonconstant, every reporting unit takes up (anchor preserved), weighted share within [0.70, 0.95]. Threaded through release gate failures, calibration diagnostics, and both manifests, mirroring the immigration and hours gates.Verification
Follow-up (not in this PR)
State-calibrated take-up (greedy fill against FNS state household counts, the
calibrate_binary_assignmentmachinery) is deliberately deferred: FNS state counts are average-monthly while the flag is annual-ever, and that bridge deserves its own reviewed decision — see the discussion on #292. National-rate + reported-anchor matches the retired pipeline's published behavior.Merge-order notes
takes_up_snap_if_eligiblereviewed exclusion in Gate releases on input columns stuck at the engine default #286's degenerate-input gate becomes stale and should be removed.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
