Description
Follow-up to #373 (SCF wealth stage): reach the dense-native SSI magnitude before the Build J re-certification flip.
Two steps, per the #373 probe diagnosis:
- SIPP blend: the retired pipeline mixed SIPP and SCF financial-asset donors at
FINANCIAL_ASSET_SOURCE_SCF_PROBABILITY = 0.5(retiredasset_imputation.py) — SIPP carries realistic low liquid assets; SCF-only overstates the SSI-relevant left tail. Port the SIPP donor half. - SSI-aware refit: the +$9.66B probe ran as a post-hoc overlay on weights solved without assets (the #356-documented +$9-26B overlay band). The certified rebuild must re-solve weights with the asset columns present (and an SSI baseline target if adopted), which the #356 dense-native record shows lands $10k/$20k at ~+$1.60B.
Acceptance: the #369 reform-coverage smoke stays green AND the $10k/$20k delta lands in the dense-native reference class on the re-certified artifact.
Refs: #368, #373, #356, #369.

Research direction
Start with the retired asset_imputation.py approach described in the issue and read the #373 probe diagnosis, then compare the #356 dense-native record. Port the SIPP donor half and perform the SSI-aware certified rebuild; done means the #369 reform-coverage smoke remains green and the $10k/$20k delta matches the dense-native reference class.
