Research direction
Start in variables/finance/benefit/family/JSA_income.py around lines 111-114, where the 0.5 share is currently hard-coded. Trace nearby parameter definitions and usage patterns to determine how this value should be exposed. Done means the pension-contribution share is configurable rather than fixed at 0.5, with the relevant model checks passing.
