Description
The harness asserts six recorded chain values (gross income, standard deduction, excess shelter deduction, net income, maximum allotment, benefit). The public file also records intermediate deduction components — earned-income deduction (FSERNDED), medical (FSMEDDED), child support (FSCSDED), and dependent-care fields — that the encodings compute along the way. Asserting them tightens the oracle (a compensating-error pair inside the deduction stack currently cancels invisibly between asserted stages). Verify field semantics against the technical documentation before wiring, FEATURES-report style.

Research direction
Start with the harness assertions for the six currently recorded chain values and review the public file and technical documentation for FSERNDED, FSMEDDED, FSCSDED, and dependent-care field semantics. Follow the FEATURES-report style when wiring the additional assertions, and confirm that compensating errors within the deduction stack are exposed.
