+- Statewide SNAP ABAWD time-limit waivers: new `waived_states` parameter
+  carrying the FNS FY2025 Q1 status-report map (nine states/territories
+  waived statewide as of October 1, 2024, ending at P.L. 119-21 Sec. 10102
+  enactment), resolved by state postal code alongside county waivers.
+  Previously the waiver surface was 29 Alaska county FIPS, so pre-HR1 law
+  offered almost no waiver protection in-model and HR1 waiver terminations
+  scored near zero. Also records Sec. 10102's discretionary-exemption cut
+  (8% -> 1%) on the rate parameter, with runtime consumption noted as a
+  populace-side follow-up.

+Assume baseline compliance with SNAP work registration for non-exempt registrants per 7 CFR 273.7, adding an `is_snap_work_registration_noncompliant` input as a sanction-modeling hook, so that work-requirement disqualification applies to individuals (ABAWD time limits, explicit sanctions) rather than zeroing entire households.
