Research direction
Start with the linked California parameter files, policyengine_us/parameters/gov/states/ca/tax/income/exemptions/dependent_amount.yaml and policyengine_us/parameters/gov/states/ca/cpi.yaml, then trace how policyengine-core handles chained uprating. Reproduce the dependent exemption query beyond 2023 and verify that the chained value continues to update after 2023.
