What

Re-pins microcosm's NZ Chronicle feed to Chronicle main 8f4cfd57, which includes chronicle#382 (G8-d3). That adds Stats NZ Quarterly Employment Survey average weekly earnings and Treasury PREFU 2026 earnings growth, the evidence G8-r2 uses to declare and verify the ageing factors under Max's d1599.

Other changes:

• reference_inventory.json is regenerated with tools/generate_nz_target_references.py; --check is in sync. Only its feed_identity block moves, and no target or pre-calibration reference changes, because nothing selects the new rows yet.
• The golden moves only the chronicle_feed.json and reference_inventory.json resource hashes and the fingerprint.
• test_generation_reproduces_committed_resources_with_exact_feed_identity now takes its expected row count from the committed pin instead of the literal 12335.

How the artifact was built

• The hub ran nz_suite_build.sh from a clean detached Chronicle worktree at 8f4cfd57 (dirty=0): build-bundle --suite nz (150 s), then build-consumer-artifact (14 s). It read 70 source packages, skipped none, and produced 12,368 facts.
• Row diff against the acbedb5f artifact, keyed by aggregate_fact_key:
  • 33 rows added, 0 removed, 0 changed;
  • 26 are QES quarterly levels (13 quarters, 2023-Q2 to 2026-Q2, × SBSZ9A and SBSZ9Z);
  • 7 are PREFU Table 4.1 row 17, fiscal years 2024–2030 (opening-year labels for years ending June 2025–2031).
• Build record: ~/reviews/nz-hub/jobs/nz-suite-build-8f4cfd57/summary.txt.

Tests

One file per run, worktree code, NZ_CHRONICLE_ARTIFACT at the new artifact:

File	Result
test_ledger_artifact.py	40 passed
test_country_spec.py	136 passed
test_nz_spec_package.py	1192 passed
test_spec_engine_country_bundles.py	21 passed
test_transport_target_kernels.py	15 passed
test_nz_target_references.py	35 passed
test_spec_only_country_packages.py	8 passed

Controls at the old acbedb5f artifact:

• test_real_nz_artifact_matches_committed_feed_pin fails;
• the generation test's fixture refuses the artifact (error).

ruff and git diff --check pass.

Invariants

• The pin's identity fields equal the artifact built from the declared source commit.
• The existing 12,335 rows are byte-identical between the two artifacts.
• Generated references are reproducible from the pinned artifact, and only the feed identity moves.
• The golden moves only the stated hashes and the fingerprint.

Inactive NZ package; no published number. Needs Max: no.

Merge audit (NZ hub): head 6458ac5. Independent review: GPT-6.1 Sol (Subfleet 20261023-092927), VERDICT APPROVE at this head. CI: run 39961606384 had five jobs cancelled mid-run (not failures); they were re-run with gh run rerun --failed and all passed. gh pr checks exits 0. The reviewer's "Needs Max" flag is the changelog line; it describes an input-data change verified by the review, not a published estimate (same position as #1361). Merging with a merge commit.
