L2604 (covariates= Theorem 6 NotImplementedError) remains [ ] with explicit TODO.md cross-reference (currently a Python TypeError, fail-closed). Waive Phase-4 validation-harness items #1 (Pierce-Schott 2016 Figure 2) + #2 (Table 1 coverage rates) with documented rationale: R parity at atol=1e-8 in test_did_had_parity.py (3 DGPs x 5 method combos, bit-exact via rtol=0) is a strictly stronger correctness anchor than coverage-rate MC. Paper Section 5.2 itself self-acknowledges NP estimators too noisy to be informative on the LBD-restricted PNTR panel. REGISTRY HAD section gains a consolidated Deviations block (5 entries with framing header distinguishing Notes #1-#2 = implementation choices from Notes #3-#4 = waived validation-harness work from #5 = Library extension for staggered-timing fail-closed). Existing scattered Note entries at L2313 (equal-weighting) and L2398 (sup-t gating) referenced from the new block. METHODOLOGY_REVIEW.md HAD row promoted In Progress -> Complete, detail section rewritten with Verified Components / Test Coverage / Corrections Made / Deviations / Outstanding Concerns structure mirroring the Bacon / TripleDifference Complete-row layout.

Auto-cluster-at-unit dropped when the user opts into explicit `vcov_type="hc2"` or `vcov_type="classical"` (one-way only); preserved for `"hc1"` and `"hc2_bm"`. When `vcov_type in {"classical","hc2","hc2_bm"}`, `_fit_saturated_regression` auto-routes to a full-dummy saturated design (mirrors TWFE Gate 1 from PR #469): FWL preserves cohort coefficients but not the hat matrix, so HC2 leverage and Bell-McCaffrey Satterthwaite DOF must be computed on the full FE projection. Empirically matches R `lm()` summary classical SE, `sandwich::vcovHC(type="HC2")`, and `clubSandwich::vcovCR(..., type="CR2")` + `coef_test()$df_Satt` at atol=1e-10 (cohort SE and BM DOF pinned in `tests/test_methodology_sun_abraham.py`). For `vcov_type="hc2_bm"`, the user-facing aggregated inference (`event_study_effects[e]['p_value']`/`['conf_int']`, `overall_p_value`/`overall_conf_int`) uses CR2 Bell-McCaffrey contrast DOF — matches `clubSandwich::Wald_test(test="HTZ")$df_denom` at atol=1e-10 (mirrors PR #465's `_compute_cr2_bm_contrast_dof` pattern for MultiPeriodDiD's post-period-average ATT). `vcov_type` is now propagated to `SunAbrahamResults.vcov_type` for downstream introspection. `SurveyDesign` (any kind — analytical weights, stratified, PSU, or replicate-weight) combined with `vcov_type in {"classical","hc2","hc2_bm"}` raises `NotImplementedError`: the survey-design TSL (or replicate-weight refit) variance overrides the analytical sandwich family, and the auto-cluster guard for one-way families would silently downgrade unit-level PSUs to per-observation PSUs. Use `vcov_type="hc1"` (default) for survey designs. `conley` rejected at `__init__` with a deferral message (would require threading 6+ `conley_*` params through the saturated regression call). **Deviation from R:** SA's within-transform HC1 SE differs from `fixest::sunab()` by ~1-2% (~2e-3 absolute) on typical panel sizes due to a different `(n-k)` finite-sample correction (fixest counts absorbed FE in k_total; SA's `solve_ols` counts only within-transformed columns); the IW aggregation step is otherwise identical (pinned at atol=5e-3, tracked in TODO.md). First PR of the Phase 1b standalone-estimator threading initiative (7 PRs to follow: StackedDiD, WooldridgeDiD-OLS, CallawaySantAnna, ImputationDiD, TripleDifference, TwoStageDiD, EfficientDiD). - **PreTrendsPower R `pretrends` parity goldens (PR-C closes PR-B's deferred R-parity row).** JSON goldens at `benchmarks/data/r_pretrends_golden.json` generated from the committed `benchmarks/R/generate_pretrends_golden.R` script against `jonathandroth/pretrends` commit `122731d082` (package version 0.1.0, R 4.5.2). 4 fixtures cover regular K=3 grid (`uniform_3_pre_periods_no_anticipation`), irregular K=3 grid `[-5,-3,-1]` (`irregular_pre_periods` — locks the PR-B Step 4 γ-unit linear-weight fix), anticipation-shifted K=4 grid (`anticipation_shifted`), and K=1 closed form (`single_pre_period_closed_form` — Roth Proposition 2 univariate truncated-normal). `TestPretrendsParityR` in `tests/test_methodology_pretrends.py` now active (4 tests): NIS power vs R `pretrends::pretrends()` at `atol=1e-4` across all 4 fixtures × 4 γ values; γ_p MDV vs R `slope_for_power()` at `atol=1e-4` across all 4 fixtures × 2 target_power values; end-to-end `fit()` on irregular grid vs R γ_p at `atol=1e-4` (locks the full `fit() → _extract_pre_period_params → _get_violation_weights → _compute_mdv_nis` chain through the public API); K=1 three-way cross-check (Python ≡ analytical truncated-normal closed form `1 - Φ(z - γ/σ) + Φ(-z - γ/σ)` at `atol=1e-7`; both within `atol=1e-4` of R). Tolerance rationale: R hardcodes `thresholdTstat.Pretest=1.96` while Python uses `scipy.stats.norm.ppf(0.975) = 1.959963984540054` (`dz ≈ 3.6e-5`); R `slope_for_power` uses `uniroot(tol = .Machine$double.eps^0.25 ≈ 1.22e-4)` versus Python `brentq(xtol=2e-12)`; the inverse-solver tolerance gap dominates γ_p, and `mvtnorm::pmvnorm` (R) vs `scipy.stats.multivariate_normal.cdf` (Python) Genz-Bretz randomized-lattice differences bound the K=4 NIS power gap at ~5e-5. `METHODOLOGY_REVIEW.md` PreTrendsPower row promoted `**Complete** (R parity pending)` → `**Complete**`. Roth (2022) paper review's `R \`pretrends\` package version pin (provisional)` Gaps bullet struck. Closes the PR-C TODO row. - **`SpilloverDiD(survey_design=...)` integration on HC1 / CR1 paths via Binder TSL (Wave E.1).** Lifts the Wave B/C/D upfront `NotImplementedError` and adds design-based variance for `vcov_type ∈ {"hc1"}` plus `cluster=` (CR1). **Documented synthesis** of Gerber (2026, arXiv:2605.04124) Proposition 1 — Binder Taylor Series Linearization for IF representations of smooth functionals; explicitly derived for TwoStageDiD in the paper's Appendix — composed with the Wave D Gardner GMM first-stage uncertainty correction (Butts 2021 §3.1 + Gardner 2022 §4) applied to SpilloverDiD's ring-indicator stage-2 design. No reference software combines all ingredients. **Mechanical composition:** SpilloverDiD's per-obs Wave D IF `psi_i = gamma_hat' * X_{10,i} * eps_{10,i} - X_{2,i} * eps_{2,i}` (with survey weights threaded through `gamma_hat` solve, eps construction, and bread inversion via Hájek normalization) is aggregated to PSU totals and passed to the audited `_compute_stratified_meat_from_psu_scores` Binder TSL meat helper. Stage-1 FE estimation extends `_iterative_fe_subset` with a `weights=` kwarg implementing WLS-FE via weighted bincount (numerator `bincount(w*resid)` / denominator `bincount(w)`); the `weights is None` path is bit-identical to the Wave B / C / D unweighted bincount. **Degrees of freedom:** t-distribution lookup uses `ResolvedSurveyDesign.df_survey` (4-way branch: PSU+strata → `n_PSU - n_strata`; PSU only → `n_PSU - 1`; strata only → `n_obs - n_strata`; neither → `n_obs - 1`), threaded through all four `safe_inference` call sites (aggregate `tau_total`, per-ring `delta_j`, event-study per-event-time `tau_k` / `delta_jk`, scalar `att` lincom). **Survey-array subsetting:** when `finite_mask` drops baseline-treated rows, `survey_weights` and `ResolvedSurveyDesign.{weights, strata, psu, fpc, replicate_weights}` are subsetted in parallel; `n_psu`, `n_strata`, and `survey_metadata` are recomputed (mirrors `TwoStageDiD.fit:567-601`). **Cluster + survey resolution:** when `cluster=` and `survey_design.psu` are both supplied with different groupings, a `UserWarning` fires and PSU wins (mirrors `_resolve_effective_cluster` at `survey.py:1253-1275`; TwoStageDiD parity). When `cluster=` is supplied without `survey_design.psu`, the cluster column is injected as the effective PSU via `_inject_cluster_as_psu`, which now honors `SurveyDesign.nest`: under `nest=False`, cluster labels must be globally unique across strata (raises if they repeat, matching the explicit-PSU resolver's contract). **Saturated `df_survey = 0` NaN-fail:** when `lonely_psu="remove"` removes all strata (singleton PSUs), the meat helper returns `(_, var_computed=False, legit_zero=0)` and SpilloverDiD's Wave E.1 path returns NaN meat with a `UserWarning` matching `"df_survey"` so callers can `pytest.warns(UserWarning, match="df_survey")`. This is a **departure from TwoStageDiD** (`two_stage.py:2003-2005`) which currently NaN-fails SILENTLY; Wave E.1 surfaces the diagnostic per `feedback_no_silent_failures`. **Subpopulation limitation (Wave E.3 follow-up):** `SurveyDesign.subpopulation()`-derived designs with zero-weight padding rows that lose stage-1 FE support have those rows physically removed by `finite_mask`, so `n_psu` / `df_survey` / Binder centering reflect the reduced fit sample rather than the full domain design (documented in REGISTRY; Wave E.3 will preserve full-design bookkeeping). **Public surface restrictions:** `vcov_type="conley" + survey_design=` raises `NotImplementedError` pointing at planned Wave E.2 (Conley × survey product-kernel synthesis with within-stratum Conley sandwich on PSU totals); replicate-weight variance (BRR / Fay / JK1 / JKn / SDR) raises `NotImplementedError` — per Gerber (2026) Appendix A, the IF-reweighting shortcut does not apply to TwoStageDiD-class estimators because `gamma_hat` is weight-sensitive; correct support requires per-replicate full re-fit and is queued as a follow-up; non-pweight (`weight_type ∈ {"fweight", "aweight"}`) raises `ValueError` (the Binder TSL assumes probability weights). **Implementation:** `_compute_gmm_corrected_meat` extended with `survey_weights` + `resolved_survey` kwargs at `diff_diff/two_stage.py:56` (TYPE_CHECKING forward reference for `ResolvedSurveyDesign` to avoid circular import); new module-level helper `_compute_binder_tsl_meat` at `diff_diff/two_stage.py` wraps `_compute_stratified_meat_from_psu_scores` with implicit per-obs PSU synthesis for no-PSU survey designs + the Wave E.1 NaN-fail + warning; `_iterative_fe_subset` weighted path at `diff_diff/spillover.py:1382` (in-place extension, bit-identical fallback, positive-weight identification gate); `_inject_cluster_as_psu` honors `nest` (shared survey-helper fix that also benefits TwoStageDiD); `ResolvedSurveyDesign` gains a `nest` field propagated through all 5 construction sites. `SpilloverDiDResults` extended with `survey_metadata`, `n_psu`, `n_strata` fields at `diff_diff/results.py`. **Tests:** new `TestSpilloverDiDWaveE1SurveyDesignHc1` (17 tests: bit-identity fallback, Binder TSL hand-check uniform + non-uniform weights, lonely_psu modes, FPC degenerate limits ×3, saturated NaN-fail with `pytest.warns(match="df_survey")`, cluster+survey warn-and-use-PSU, no-PSU regressions (weights-only, weights+strata, cluster-without-PSU, cluster overlap with nest=False/True), zero-weight Omega_0 exclusion + all-zero raises, replicate-weight + non-pweight + Conley+survey rejections, fit idempotency, finite_mask subsetting) and `TestSpilloverDiDWaveE1SurveyDesignEventStudy` (7 tests: event-study + survey on both `is_staggered` branches with `df_survey` lincom verification, distinguishability between survey-share and sample-share lincom rules via manual reconstruction with cohort-correlated weights + non-constant tau_k, aggregate-vs-event-study parity, drift goldens, subset-path invariant).

Test statistic `T_hr = sqrt(G) · (σ̂²_lin - σ̂²_diff) / σ̂²_W` from paper Equation 29. Normalizer `σ̂²_diff` divides by `2G` (paper-literal Theorem 7), NOT `2(G-1)`; hand-computed tight parity asserted at `atol=1e-12`. One-sided standard-normal critical value. `G < 3` returns NaN. Phase 3 shipped only the linearity null (paper Theorem 7); the `null="mean_independence"` R-parity extension shipped post-PR #392 (see the algorithm-variant block above for the contract). - [x] Phase 3: `did_had_pretest_workflow()` composite helper. `data`-only entry point with `aggregate` dispatch: `aggregate="overall"` (default) requires a balanced two-period panel — multi-period panels are rejected at the front door by `_validate_had_panel` with a pointer to `aggregate="event_study"` — and runs steps 1 (QUG) + 3 (Stute + Yatchew-HR) only; `aggregate="event_study"` takes a multi-period panel (>=3 periods) and additionally runs step 2 (joint Stute pre-trends over pre-period horizons) + joint Stute homogeneity over post-period horizons, populating `pretrends_joint` / `homogeneity_joint`. `seed` forwards to all bootstrap-based tests (QUG and Yatchew are deterministic). Returns `HADPretestReport` with priority-ordered verdict string. On `aggregate="overall"` a fail-to-reject verdict explicitly flags the Assumption 7 gap rather than claiming unconditional TWFE safety: `"QUG and linearity diagnostics fail-to-reject; Assumption 7 pre-trends test NOT run (paper step 2 deferred)"`; on `aggregate="event_study"` a fail-to-reject across all three covered diagnostics reads `"TWFE admissible under Section 4 assumptions"` without the Assumption 7 caveat. Verdict priority follows the paper's one-way rule (TWFE admissible only if NO test rejects): **conclusive rejections are the primary verdict and are NEVER hidden by inconclusive status** — any unresolved-step note is appended via `"; additional steps unresolved: ..."` rather than replacing the rejection. The pure `"inconclusive - QUG NaN"` / `"inconclusive - both Stute and Yatchew linearity tests NaN"` forms only fire when NO conclusive test rejects AND a required step is unresolved. The partial-workflow fail-to-reject verdict may carry a `"(Yatchew NaN - skipped)"` (or Stute) suffix when one linearity test is NaN but the other is conclusive (step 3 resolved via the paper's "Stute OR Yatchew" wording). Bundled rejection-reason strings name each failed assumption in the conclusive-rejection case. `all_pass` is `True` iff QUG is conclusive AND at least one of Stute/Yatchew is conclusive AND no conclusive test rejects. **Non-negative-dose contract**: all three raw linearity helpers (`qug_test`, `stute_test`, `yatchew_hr_test`) raise a front-door `ValueError` on any `d < 0`, mirroring the `_validate_had_panel` guard (paper Section 2 HAD support restriction). On the `aggregate="overall"` path, the panel must already be exactly two periods (`_validate_had_panel` raises with a pointer to `aggregate="event_study"` otherwise); the first-difference helper computes `(t_post, t_pre)` per unit and feeds each raw helper directly. On the `aggregate="event_study"` path, joint Stute is dispatched across pre-period and post-period horizons directly (the joint Equation-18 form, no per-horizon pre-slicing). -- [ ] Phase 4: Pierce-Schott (2016) replication harness reproduces Figure 2 values. -- [ ] Phase 4: Full DGP 1/2/3 coverage-rate reproduction from Table 1. +- [x] Phase 4: Pierce-Schott (2016) replication harness reproduces Figure 2 values. **Waived 2026-05-20:** see Deviations block above; the paper itself self-acknowledges that NP estimators are too noisy to be informative on the LBD-restricted PNTR panel (Section 5.2), and R parity at `atol=1e-8` via `tests/test_did_had_parity.py` is a strictly stronger correctness anchor than Figure-2 reproduction on a proxy panel.

The `fit()` return annotation is widened to `Union[HeterogeneousAdoptionDiDResults, HeterogeneousAdoptionDiDEventStudyResults]` at the source-code level to match the runtime polymorphism, AND that union is now pinned at the test level by `tests/test_had.py::TestFitReturnAnnotation::test_fit_return_annotation_is_union_of_result_classes` via `typing.get_type_hints` so the contract cannot drift silently. - [x] Phase 5 (wave 1, PR #402): `llms-full.txt` HeterogeneousAdoptionDiD section + result-class blocks + `## HAD Pretests` index + Choosing-an-Estimator row landed; constructor / fit() parameter names are regression-locked against `inspect.signature(HeterogeneousAdoptionDiD.__init__)` and `HeterogeneousAdoptionDiD.fit` for parameter-name presence (parameter defaults and the non-return parameter type annotations remain unpinned; the `fit()` return-type union is locked BOTH at the source-code level AND at the test level by `TestFitReturnAnnotation`); result-class field tables enumerate every public dataclass field (regression-tested via `dataclasses.fields()`); `llms-practitioner.txt` Step 4 decision tree distinguishes ContinuousDiD (per-dose ATT(d), needs never-treated) from HeterogeneousAdoptionDiD (WAS, universal-rollout-compatible). - [x] Phase 5 (partial): README catalog one-liner, bundled `llms.txt` `## Estimators` entry, `docs/api/had.rst` (autoclass for the three classes), and `docs/references.rst` citation landed in PR #372 docs refresh. - [x] Phase 5 (wave 2 first slice, PR #409): T21 HAD pretest workflow tutorial (`docs/tutorials/21_had_pretest_workflow.ipynb`) — composite pre-test walkthrough for `did_had_pretest_workflow`.

The paper and the in-code HAD docs use the boundary-subtracted form WAS = [E(ΔY) - lim_{d↓0} E(ΔY | D ≤ d)] / E(D); the library implements att = (mean(ΔY) - τ_bc) / mean(D). Old DGP set τ_bc ~ 0 so the subtraction term was untested. Fix: - Restated Eq. 3 in test_methodology_had.py module + class docstrings, METHODOLOGY_REVIEW.md, and REGISTRY Deviations Note #1. - Added boundary_intercept kwarg to _make_two_period_panel so DGP can be parameterized with delta_Y = c + β*D + ε (c != 0). - New test_eq3_was_recovery_nonzero_boundary_intercept: c=0.2, β=0.3 → att should recover 0.3 (not 0.7 = 0.35/0.5, the wrong-formula answer). Test passes locally; explicit anti-guard against the no-subtraction failure mode (abs(att - 0.7) > 5 * se). - P3 (Maintainability): METHODOLOGY_REVIEW.md cited the fit-time UserWarning as inside _fit_continuous / _fit_mass_point_2sls. Actual emission point is the outer HeterogeneousAdoptionDiD.fit() dispatch (search anchor preserved). Also updated the equal-weighting test reference to the new test name. - P3 (Tech Debt): paper-review L191 (extensive-margin warning) was marked [x] but described as partial / unimplemented. Flipped to [ ] with a status note pointing to TODO.md; added a corresponding follow-up row in TODO.md for the fit-time "consider running standard DiD" warning.

Paper Table 1 documents under-coverage at small G (89% at G=100 on DGP 1, 93% at G=500, 95% at G=2500); this is inherited from the CCF asymptotic theory itself, and Python is exact-parity with R at the limit-law machinery. - **Note:** Table 1 coverage-rate reproduction deferred.

No reference software combines all ingredients. **Mechanical composition:** SpilloverDiD's per-obs Wave D IF `psi_i = gamma_hat' * X_{10,i} * eps_{10,i} - X_{2,i} * eps_{2,i}` (with survey weights threaded through `gamma_hat` solve, eps construction, and bread inversion via Hájek normalization) is aggregated to PSU totals and passed to the audited `_compute_stratified_meat_from_psu_scores` Binder TSL meat helper. Stage-1 FE estimation extends `_iterative_fe_subset` with a `weights=` kwarg implementing WLS-FE via weighted bincount (numerator `bincount(w*resid)` / denominator `bincount(w)`); the `weights is None` path is bit-identical to the Wave B / C / D unweighted bincount. **Degrees of freedom:** t-distribution lookup uses `ResolvedSurveyDesign.df_survey` (4-way branch: PSU+strata → `n_PSU - n_strata`; PSU only → `n_PSU - 1`; strata only → `n_obs - n_strata`; neither → `n_obs - 1`), threaded through all four `safe_inference` call sites (aggregate `tau_total`, per-ring `delta_j`, event-study per-event-time `tau_k` / `delta_jk`, scalar `att` lincom). **Survey-array subsetting:** when `finite_mask` drops baseline-treated rows, `survey_weights` and `ResolvedSurveyDesign.{weights, strata, psu, fpc, replicate_weights}` are subsetted in parallel; `n_psu`, `n_strata`, and `survey_metadata` are recomputed (mirrors `TwoStageDiD.fit:567-601`). **Cluster + survey resolution:** when `cluster=` and `survey_design.psu` are both supplied with different groupings, a `UserWarning` fires and PSU wins (mirrors `_resolve_effective_cluster` at `survey.py:1253-1275`; TwoStageDiD parity). When `cluster=` is supplied without `survey_design.psu`, the cluster column is injected as the effective PSU via `_inject_cluster_as_psu`, which now honors `SurveyDesign.nest`: under `nest=False`, cluster labels must be globally unique across strata (raises if they repeat, matching the explicit-PSU resolver's contract). **Saturated `df_survey = 0` NaN-fail:** when `lonely_psu="remove"` removes all strata (singleton PSUs), the meat helper returns `(_, var_computed=False, legit_zero=0)` and SpilloverDiD's Wave E.1 path returns NaN meat with a `UserWarning` matching `"df_survey"` so callers can `pytest.warns(UserWarning, match="df_survey")`. This is a **departure from TwoStageDiD** (`two_stage.py:2003-2005`) which currently NaN-fails SILENTLY; Wave E.1 surfaces the diagnostic per `feedback_no_silent_failures`. **Subpopulation limitation (Wave E.3 follow-up):** `SurveyDesign.subpopulation()`-derived designs with zero-weight padding rows that lose stage-1 FE support have those rows physically removed by `finite_mask`, so `n_psu` / `df_survey` / Binder centering reflect the reduced fit sample rather than the full domain design (documented in REGISTRY; Wave E.3 will preserve full-design bookkeeping). **Public surface restrictions:** `vcov_type="conley" + survey_design=` raises `NotImplementedError` pointing at planned Wave E.2 (Conley × survey product-kernel synthesis with within-stratum Conley sandwich on PSU totals); replicate-weight variance (BRR / Fay / JK1 / JKn / SDR) raises `NotImplementedError` — per Gerber (2026) Appendix A, the IF-reweighting shortcut does not apply to TwoStageDiD-class estimators because `gamma_hat` is weight-sensitive; correct support requires per-replicate full re-fit and is queued as a follow-up; non-pweight (`weight_type ∈ {"fweight", "aweight"}`) raises `ValueError` (the Binder TSL assumes probability weights). **Implementation:** `_compute_gmm_corrected_meat` extended with `survey_weights` + `resolved_survey` kwargs at `diff_diff/two_stage.py:56` (TYPE_CHECKING forward reference for `ResolvedSurveyDesign` to avoid circular import); new module-level helper `_compute_binder_tsl_meat` at `diff_diff/two_stage.py` wraps `_compute_stratified_meat_from_psu_scores` with implicit per-obs PSU synthesis for no-PSU survey designs + the Wave E.1 NaN-fail + warning; `_iterative_fe_subset` weighted path at `diff_diff/spillover.py:1382` (in-place extension, bit-identical fallback, positive-weight identification gate); `_inject_cluster_as_psu` honors `nest` (shared survey-helper fix that also benefits TwoStageDiD); `ResolvedSurveyDesign` gains a `nest` field propagated through all 5 construction sites. `SpilloverDiDResults` extended with `survey_metadata`, `n_psu`, `n_strata` fields at `diff_diff/results.py`. **Tests:** new `TestSpilloverDiDWaveE1SurveyDesignHc1` (17 tests: bit-identity fallback, Binder TSL hand-check uniform + non-uniform weights, lonely_psu modes, FPC degenerate limits ×3, saturated NaN-fail with `pytest.warns(match="df_survey")`, cluster+survey warn-and-use-PSU, no-PSU regressions (weights-only, weights+strata, cluster-without-PSU, cluster overlap with nest=False/True), zero-weight Omega_0 exclusion + all-zero raises, replicate-weight + non-pweight + Conley+survey rejections, fit idempotency, finite_mask subsetting) and `TestSpilloverDiDWaveE1SurveyDesignEventStudy` (7 tests: event-study + survey on both `is_staggered` branches with `df_survey` lincom verification, distinguishability between survey-share and sample-share lincom rules via manual reconstruction with cohort-correlated weights + non-constant tau_k, aggregate-vs-event-study parity, drift goldens, subset-path invariant).

From 0fd4564476909cbf87720dec7bac088da339e297 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: igerber Date: Wed, 20 May 2026 08:10:00 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 06/13] Address codex R5 P2+P3 on HAD: stute_test scope + verdict-language accuracy MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit - P2 (Methodology): tightened stute_test / yatchew_hr_test / class docstring to correctly attribute Assumption 7 (mean-independence pre-trends) to joint_pretrends_test (intercept-only residual form via null_form="mean_independence") rather than to the raw stute_test helper. The raw stute_test always fits dy ~ 1 + d and tests Assumption 8 linearity. Updated all 5 surfaces: stute_test Notes, yatchew_hr_test Notes (now also documents null="linearity" vs null="mean_independence" kwarg correctly, no longer references nonexistent "residual_form"), HeterogeneousAdoptionDiD class docstring (split into 4 distinct ADJACENT condition bullets), REGISTRY HAD checklist L2694 closure, paper-review L192 closure. - P3 (Documentation/Tests): the new workflow / REGISTRY / paper-review prose said the composite verdict surfaces the Assumption 5/6 caveat. Actually the verdict string only flags the Assumption 7 step-2 gap on the aggregate="overall" path. Reworded in 4 surfaces (workflow Notes, HAD class docstring, REGISTRY L2694, paper-review L192) to clarify that the Assumption 5/6 caveat is surfaced by (a) the Design 1 fit-time UserWarning and (b) T21 tutorial prose — NOT by the workflow verdict string. - P3 (Documentation/Tests): yatchew_hr_test Notes referenced a nonexistent "residual_form" selector. Replaced with the correct kwarg name "null" ({"linearity", "mean_independence"}) and described both branches. All 35 methodology tests pass; full HAD + drift sweep 665 passed; lint clean.

From 16ad99cb7a5ab58a8cd227d67465edcc400a2845 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: igerber Date: Wed, 20 May 2026 08:18:14 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 07/13] Address codex R6 P3s on HAD: trends_lin already shipped + scope wording MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit - P3 (Methodology): the promoted HAD materials described the Eq. 17/18 `trends_lin=True` linear-trend-detrended variant as "deferred per Phase 4". This conflated TWO different things: (a) the FEATURE — which is shipped via the `trends_lin: bool = False` keyword-only kwarg on HAD.fit(), joint_pretrends_test, and joint_homogeneity_test (PR #389; R-parity locked against DIDHAD::did_had(trends_lin=TRUE) v2.0.0 in test_did_had_parity.py); and (b) the PIERCE-SCHOTT NUMERICAL REPLICATION against the published p=0.51 anchor on the LBD-restricted panel, which IS waived per REGISTRY Deviations Note #3. Updated 3 surfaces (paper-review L194, METHODOLOGY_REVIEW Eq. 18 Verified-Components row, test_methodology_had.py module docstring + TestHADJointStute class docstring) to distinguish "feature shipped + R-parity locked elsewhere" from "Pierce-Schott numerical replication waived". - P3 (Documentation/Tests): TestHADJointStute promotion narrative overstated H1 coverage as "H0 fail-to-reject and H1 reject on linear vs nonlinear DGPs" for both joint_pretrends_test and joint_homogeneity_test. Reality: H1 rejection is tested only on joint_homogeneity_test via a quadratic post- DGP; joint_pretrends_test gets H0-only coverage in this file (H1 would require a violating-pretrends fixture that re-verifies bootstrap calibration covered by test_had_pretests.py). Narrowed wording in METHODOLOGY_REVIEW Verified-Components row + TestHADJointStute class docstring; CHANGELOG entry unchanged (the H1 reject claim in CHANGELOG explicitly cites the homogeneity side via "H1 reject under nonlinear DGP", which is accurate). All 35 methodology tests pass; lint clean.

Strengthened to exact-count assertion: with G=600 and 3 equal-sized cohorts (third=200 each), kept = 200 never-treated + 200 last-cohort = 400. Added a cross-check via the panel's first_treat value set + a kept/dropped count identity (kept + 200 dropped = G). - P3 (Documentation/Tests): the shared _fit_overall() helper suppressed the Design 1 Assumption 5/6 UserWarning with a comment claiming the warning was "covered by TestHADDeviations" — but no test in that class actually asserted the warning fires. Added test_assumption_5_6_userwarning_fires_on_design_1_family which uses pytest.warns(UserWarning, match=r"Assumption [56]") on a mass-point fit to lock the warning surface against silent regression. Also narrowed the helper's warning filter to the exact "Assumption [56]" pattern rather than the broad "(Assumption|continuous_near_d_lower|mass_point)" match — keeps test output clean without masking unrelated future warnings.

Auto-cluster-at-unit dropped when the user opts into explicit `vcov_type="hc2"` or `vcov_type="classical"` (one-way only); preserved for `"hc1"` and `"hc2_bm"`. When `vcov_type in {"classical","hc2","hc2_bm"}`, `_fit_saturated_regression` auto-routes to a full-dummy saturated design (mirrors TWFE Gate 1 from PR #469): FWL preserves cohort coefficients but not the hat matrix, so HC2 leverage and Bell-McCaffrey Satterthwaite DOF must be computed on the full FE projection. Empirically matches R `lm()` summary classical SE, `sandwich::vcovHC(type="HC2")`, and `clubSandwich::vcovCR(..., type="CR2")` + `coef_test()$df_Satt` at atol=1e-10 (cohort SE and BM DOF pinned in `tests/test_methodology_sun_abraham.py`). For `vcov_type="hc2_bm"`, the user-facing aggregated inference (`event_study_effects[e]['p_value']`/`['conf_int']`, `overall_p_value`/`overall_conf_int`) uses CR2 Bell-McCaffrey contrast DOF — matches `clubSandwich::Wald_test(test="HTZ")$df_denom` at atol=1e-10 (mirrors PR #465's `_compute_cr2_bm_contrast_dof` pattern for MultiPeriodDiD's post-period-average ATT). `vcov_type` is now propagated to `SunAbrahamResults.vcov_type` for downstream introspection. `SurveyDesign` (any kind — analytical weights, stratified, PSU, or replicate-weight) combined with `vcov_type in {"classical","hc2","hc2_bm"}` raises `NotImplementedError`: the survey-design TSL (or replicate-weight refit) variance overrides the analytical sandwich family, and the auto-cluster guard for one-way families would silently downgrade unit-level PSUs to per-observation PSUs. Use `vcov_type="hc1"` (default) for survey designs. `conley` rejected at `__init__` with a deferral message (would require threading 6+ `conley_*` params through the saturated regression call). **Deviation from R:** SA's within-transform HC1 SE differs from `fixest::sunab()` by ~1-2% (~2e-3 absolute) on typical panel sizes due to a different `(n-k)` finite-sample correction (fixest counts absorbed FE in k_total; SA's `solve_ols` counts only within-transformed columns); the IW aggregation step is otherwise identical (pinned at atol=5e-3, tracked in TODO.md). First PR of the Phase 1b standalone-estimator threading initiative (7 PRs to follow: StackedDiD, WooldridgeDiD-OLS, CallawaySantAnna, ImputationDiD, TripleDifference, TwoStageDiD, EfficientDiD). - **PreTrendsPower R `pretrends` parity goldens (PR-C closes PR-B's deferred R-parity row).** JSON goldens at `benchmarks/data/r_pretrends_golden.json` generated from the committed `benchmarks/R/generate_pretrends_golden.R` script against `jonathandroth/pretrends` commit `122731d082` (package version 0.1.0, R 4.5.2). 4 fixtures cover regular K=3 grid (`uniform_3_pre_periods_no_anticipation`), irregular K=3 grid `[-5,-3,-1]` (`irregular_pre_periods` — locks the PR-B Step 4 γ-unit linear-weight fix), anticipation-shifted K=4 grid (`anticipation_shifted`), and K=1 closed form (`single_pre_period_closed_form` — Roth Proposition 2 univariate truncated-normal). `TestPretrendsParityR` in `tests/test_methodology_pretrends.py` now active (4 tests): NIS power vs R `pretrends::pretrends()` at `atol=1e-4` across all 4 fixtures × 4 γ values; γ_p MDV vs R `slope_for_power()` at `atol=1e-4` across all 4 fixtures × 2 target_power values; end-to-end `fit()` on irregular grid vs R γ_p at `atol=1e-4` (locks the full `fit() → _extract_pre_period_params → _get_violation_weights → _compute_mdv_nis` chain through the public API); K=1 three-way cross-check (Python ≡ analytical truncated-normal closed form `1 - Φ(z - γ/σ) + Φ(-z - γ/σ)` at `atol=1e-7`; both within `atol=1e-4` of R). Tolerance rationale: R hardcodes `thresholdTstat.Pretest=1.96` while Python uses `scipy.stats.norm.ppf(0.975) = 1.959963984540054` (`dz ≈ 3.6e-5`); R `slope_for_power` uses `uniroot(tol = .Machine$double.eps^0.25 ≈ 1.22e-4)` versus Python `brentq(xtol=2e-12)`; the inverse-solver tolerance gap dominates γ_p, and `mvtnorm::pmvnorm` (R) vs `scipy.stats.multivariate_normal.cdf` (Python) Genz-Bretz randomized-lattice differences bound the K=4 NIS power gap at ~5e-5. `METHODOLOGY_REVIEW.md` PreTrendsPower row promoted `**Complete** (R parity pending)` → `**Complete**`. Roth (2022) paper review's `R \`pretrends\` package version pin (provisional)` Gaps bullet struck. Closes the PR-C TODO row. - **`SpilloverDiD(survey_design=...)` integration on HC1 / CR1 paths via Binder TSL (Wave E.1).** Lifts the Wave B/C/D upfront `NotImplementedError` and adds design-based variance for `vcov_type ∈ {"hc1"}` plus `cluster=` (CR1). **Documented synthesis** of Gerber (2026, arXiv:2605.04124) Proposition 1 — Binder Taylor Series Linearization for IF representations of smooth functionals; explicitly derived for TwoStageDiD in the paper's Appendix — composed with the Wave D Gardner GMM first-stage uncertainty correction (Butts 2021 §3.1 + Gardner 2022 §4) applied to SpilloverDiD's ring-indicator stage-2 design. No reference software combines all ingredients. **Mechanical composition:** SpilloverDiD's per-obs Wave D IF `psi_i = gamma_hat' * X_{10,i} * eps_{10,i} - X_{2,i} * eps_{2,i}` (with survey weights threaded through `gamma_hat` solve, eps construction, and bread inversion via Hájek normalization) is aggregated to PSU totals and passed to the audited `_compute_stratified_meat_from_psu_scores` Binder TSL meat helper. Stage-1 FE estimation extends `_iterative_fe_subset` with a `weights=` kwarg implementing WLS-FE via weighted bincount (numerator `bincount(w*resid)` / denominator `bincount(w)`); the `weights is None` path is bit-identical to the Wave B / C / D unweighted bincount. **Degrees of freedom:** t-distribution lookup uses `ResolvedSurveyDesign.df_survey` (4-way branch: PSU+strata → `n_PSU - n_strata`; PSU only → `n_PSU - 1`; strata only → `n_obs - n_strata`; neither → `n_obs - 1`), threaded through all four `safe_inference` call sites (aggregate `tau_total`, per-ring `delta_j`, event-study per-event-time `tau_k` / `delta_jk`, scalar `att` lincom). **Survey-array subsetting:** when `finite_mask` drops baseline-treated rows, `survey_weights` and `ResolvedSurveyDesign.{weights, strata, psu, fpc, replicate_weights}` are subsetted in parallel; `n_psu`, `n_strata`, and `survey_metadata` are recomputed (mirrors `TwoStageDiD.fit:567-601`). **Cluster + survey resolution:** when `cluster=` and `survey_design.psu` are both supplied with different groupings, a `UserWarning` fires and PSU wins (mirrors `_resolve_effective_cluster` at `survey.py:1253-1275`; TwoStageDiD parity). When `cluster=` is supplied without `survey_design.psu`, the cluster column is injected as the effective PSU via `_inject_cluster_as_psu`, which now honors `SurveyDesign.nest`: under `nest=False`, cluster labels must be globally unique across strata (raises if they repeat, matching the explicit-PSU resolver's contract). **Saturated `df_survey = 0` NaN-fail:** when `lonely_psu="remove"` removes all strata (singleton PSUs), the meat helper returns `(_, var_computed=False, legit_zero=0)` and SpilloverDiD's Wave E.1 path returns NaN meat with a `UserWarning` matching `"df_survey"` so callers can `pytest.warns(UserWarning, match="df_survey")`. This is a **departure from TwoStageDiD** (`two_stage.py:2003-2005`) which currently NaN-fails SILENTLY; Wave E.1 surfaces the diagnostic per `feedback_no_silent_failures`. **Subpopulation limitation (Wave E.3 follow-up):** `SurveyDesign.subpopulation()`-derived designs with zero-weight padding rows that lose stage-1 FE support have those rows physically removed by `finite_mask`, so `n_psu` / `df_survey` / Binder centering reflect the reduced fit sample rather than the full domain design (documented in REGISTRY; Wave E.3 will preserve full-design bookkeeping). **Public surface restrictions:** `vcov_type="conley" + survey_design=` raises `NotImplementedError` pointing at planned Wave E.2 (Conley × survey product-kernel synthesis with within-stratum Conley sandwich on PSU totals); replicate-weight variance (BRR / Fay / JK1 / JKn / SDR) raises `NotImplementedError` — per Gerber (2026) Appendix A, the IF-reweighting shortcut does not apply to TwoStageDiD-class estimators because `gamma_hat` is weight-sensitive; correct support requires per-replicate full re-fit and is queued as a follow-up; non-pweight (`weight_type ∈ {"fweight", "aweight"}`) raises `ValueError` (the Binder TSL assumes probability weights). **Implementation:** `_compute_gmm_corrected_meat` extended with `survey_weights` + `resolved_survey` kwargs at `diff_diff/two_stage.py:56` (TYPE_CHECKING forward reference for `ResolvedSurveyDesign` to avoid circular import); new module-level helper `_compute_binder_tsl_meat` at `diff_diff/two_stage.py` wraps `_compute_stratified_meat_from_psu_scores` with implicit per-obs PSU synthesis for no-PSU survey designs + the Wave E.1 NaN-fail + warning; `_iterative_fe_subset` weighted path at `diff_diff/spillover.py:1382` (in-place extension, bit-identical fallback, positive-weight identification gate); `_inject_cluster_as_psu` honors `nest` (shared survey-helper fix that also benefits TwoStageDiD); `ResolvedSurveyDesign` gains a `nest` field propagated through all 5 construction sites. `SpilloverDiDResults` extended with `survey_metadata`, `n_psu`, `n_strata` fields at `diff_diff/results.py`. **Tests:** new `TestSpilloverDiDWaveE1SurveyDesignHc1` (17 tests: bit-identity fallback, Binder TSL hand-check uniform + non-uniform weights, lonely_psu modes, FPC degenerate limits ×3, saturated NaN-fail with `pytest.warns(match="df_survey")`, cluster+survey warn-and-use-PSU, no-PSU regressions (weights-only, weights+strata, cluster-without-PSU, cluster overlap with nest=False/True), zero-weight Omega_0 exclusion + all-zero raises, replicate-weight + non-pweight + Conley+survey rejections, fit idempotency, finite_mask subsetting) and `TestSpilloverDiDWaveE1SurveyDesignEventStudy` (7 tests: event-study + survey on both `is_staggered` branches with `df_survey` lincom verification, distinguishability between survey-share and sample-share lincom rules via manual reconstruction with cohort-correlated weights + non-constant tau_k, aggregate-vs-event-study parity, drift goldens, subset-path invariant).
