From 2ef6b2b9105d8d2c7f498f39f85ed1ff9b68d595 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: igerber Date: Sun, 19 Apr 2026 09:54:32 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 01/16] Extend dCDH PSU-level wild bootstrap to cell granularity MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Lifts the last NotImplementedError gate in the dCDH survey contract: n_bootstrap > 0 combined with within-group-varying PSU is now supported via a cell-level Hall-Mammen wild multiplier bootstrap. Approach: the bootstrap mixin dispatches on whether PSU varies across cells of a group, inspecting a new (n_eligible, n_periods) PSU tensor (sentinel -1 for zero-weight cells) built alongside the existing group-level map. Under PSU-within-group-constant regimes (including PSU=group auto-inject and strictly-coarser PSU with within-group constancy) the dispatcher routes to the legacy group-level bootstrap so the SE is bit-identical to the previous release. Under within-group-varying PSU each (g, t) cell draws its multiplier via the per-cell PSU map and a group contributing cells to multiple PSUs receives independent multiplier draws per PSU — the correct Hall-Mammen wild PSU clustering at cell granularity. Multi-horizon bootstraps draw a single shared (n_bootstrap, n_psu) PSU-level weight matrix once per block and broadcast per-horizon via each horizon's cell-to-PSU map (via psu_codes_per_cell raveled and sentinel-masked), so the sup-t simultaneous confidence band remains a valid joint distribution across horizons. The cohort-recentered per-horizon tensors U_centered_pp_l and U_centered_pp_pl_l are persisted to _mh_pp_cache and _pl_pp_cache dicts inside the existing analytical-SE loops so the bootstrap block can reuse them without recomputing cohort-recentering. Tests: - Flip the bootstrap gating test to assert finite SE + CI under within-group-varying PSU at both the overall and per-horizon event-study surfaces (the multi-horizon path is the highest-risk surface for shared-weight regressions). - Pin a numeric baseline SE captured from pre-PR-4 code (origin/main at SHA ac181b7f) under PSU=group and assert bit- identity: test_bootstrap_se_matches_pre_pr4_baseline. Dispatcher regressions that silently drift away from the legacy path fail this guard. - Add zero-weight-eligible-group smoke test. - Add slow-tier MC coverage test (test_dcdh_bootstrap_cell_period_coverage.py) validating empirical 95% coverage at both overall and horizon-1 surfaces on a DGP with within-group-varying PSU. REGISTRY.md Survey + bootstrap contract Note rewritten to describe the cell-level allocator, the dispatcher's bit-identity routing, and the shared-PSU-weight multi-horizon machinery. Cluster contract Note updated; no scope limitation remains in the Survey IF expansion Note. Replicate-weight variance and n_bootstrap > 0 remain mutually exclusive by SurveyDesign construction — no change there.

Cell-level expansion: decompose `U[g]` into per-period attributions `U[g, t]`, cohort-center each column independently, then expand to observation level as `psi_i = U_centered_per_period[g_i, t_i] * (w_i / W_{g_i, t_i})`. Binder (1983) stratified-PSU variance aggregates the resulting `psi` at PSU level. **Post-period attribution convention:** each transition term in the IF sum (of the form `role_weight * (Y_{g, t} - Y_{g, t-1})` for DID_M or `S_g * (Y_{g, out} - Y_{g, ref})` for DID_l) is attributed as a single *difference* to the POST-period cell, not split into a `+Y_post` / `-Y_pre` pair across two cells. This is a library *convention*, not a theorem — adopted because it preserves the group-sum, PSU-sum, and cohort-sum identities of the previous group-level expansion (so Binder variance coincides with the group-level variance under the auto-injected `psu=group`) and because Monte Carlo coverage at nominal 95% is empirically close to nominal on a DGP where PSUs vary across the cells of each group (see `tests/test_dcdh_cell_period_coverage.py`). A covariance-aware two-cell allocator is a plausible alternative and may be worth exploring if future designs motivate an explicit observation-level IF derivation; the method currently in the library is **not derived from the observation-level survey linearization of the contrast** and makes no stronger claim than "coverage is approximately nominal under the tested DGPs and the group-sum identity holds exactly." Under within-group-constant PSU (the pre-allocator accepted input), per-cell sums telescope to `U_centered[g]` and Binder variance is byte-identical (up to single-ULP floating-point noise) to the previous group-level expansion. **Strata and PSU must be constant within each `(g, t)` cell** (trivially satisfied in one-obs-per-cell panels — the canonical dCDH structure); variation **across cells of a group** is supported by the allocator. Within-group-varying **weights** are supported as before. When `survey_design.psu` is not specified, `fit()` auto-injects `psu=` so the TSL variance, `df_survey`, and t-based inference match the per-group PSU structure. **Strata that vary across cells of a group require either an explicit `psu=` or the original `SurveyDesign(..., nest=True)` flag** — under `nest=True` the resolver combines `(stratum, psu)` into globally-unique labels, so the auto-injected `psu=` is re-labeled per stratum and the cell allocator proceeds. Only the `nest=False` + varying-strata + omitted-psu combination is rejected up front with a targeted `ValueError` at `fit()` time (the synthesized PSU column would reuse group labels across strata and trip the cross-stratum PSU uniqueness check in `SurveyDesign.resolve()`). Under replicate-weight designs, the same cell-level `psi_i` is aggregated via Rao-Wu weight-ratio rescaling (`compute_replicate_if_variance` at `diff_diff/survey.py:1681`) rather than the Binder TSL formula. All five methods (BRR/Fay/JK1/JKn/SDR) are supported method-agnostically through the unified helper; the effective `df_survey` is reduced to `min(n_valid) - 1` across IF sites when some replicate solves fail (matching `efficient_did.py:1133-1135` and `triple_diff.py:676-686` precedents). Under DID^X, the first-stage residualization coefficient `theta_hat` is computed once on full-sample weights and treated as fixed (FWL plug-in IF convention) — per-replicate refits of `theta_hat` are not performed. **Post-period attribution extends to heterogeneity (Binder TSL branch only):** the heterogeneity WLS coefficient IF `ψ_g = inv(X'WX)[1,:] @ x_g * W_g * r_g` is attributed in full to the single post-period cell `(g, out_idx)` at each horizon (same single-cell convention as DID_l), then expanded as `ψ_i = ψ_g * (w_i / W_{g, out_idx})`, and fed through `compute_survey_if_variance`. Under PSU=group the PSU-level aggregate telescopes to `ψ_g`, so Binder variance is byte-identical relative to the pre-cell-period release; under within-group-varying PSU mass lands in the post-period PSU. **Replicate-weight branch keeps the legacy group-level allocator** `ψ_i = ψ_g * (w_i / W_g)` because `compute_replicate_if_variance` computes `θ_r = sum_i ratio_ir * ψ_i` at observation level and is therefore not PSU-telescoping: redistributing mass onto the post-period cell would silently change the replicate SE whenever a replicate column's ratios vary within a group (the library accepts arbitrary per-row replicate matrices, not just PSU-aligned ones). The legacy allocator preserves byte-identity of the replicate SE for every previously-supported fit. Replicate + within-group-varying PSU is unreachable by construction (`SurveyDesign` rejects `replicate_weights` combined with explicit `strata/psu/fpc`). **Scope limitation (follow-up PR):** `n_bootstrap > 0` combined with within-group-varying PSU raises `NotImplementedError` — the PSU-level Hall-Mammen wild bootstrap still uses the legacy group-level PSU map, to be extended in a follow-up PR. -- **Note (survey + bootstrap contract):** When `survey_design` and `n_bootstrap > 0` are both active, the bootstrap uses Hall-Mammen wild multiplier weights (Rademacher/Mammen/Webb) **at the PSU level**. Under the default auto-injected `psu=group`, the PSU coincides with the group so the wild bootstrap is a clean group-level clustered bootstrap (identity-map fast path, bit-identical to the non-survey multiplier bootstrap). When the user passes an explicit strictly-coarser PSU (e.g., `psu=state` with groups at county level), the IF contributions of all groups within a PSU receive the same bootstrap multiplier — the standard Hall-Mammen wild PSU bootstrap. Strata do not participate in the bootstrap randomization (they contribute only through the analytical TSL variance); this is conservative when strata differ substantially in variance. A `UserWarning` fires only when PSU is strictly coarser than group. **Scope note (cell-period allocator):** The PSU-level bootstrap uses a group-level `group_id_to_psu_code` map and therefore requires PSU to be constant within each group. Combining `n_bootstrap > 0` with a PSU that varies within group raises `NotImplementedError`; the cell-level Hall-Mammen extension is deferred to a follow-up PR. The analytical TSL variance fully supports within-group-varying PSU via the cell-period allocator — use `n_bootstrap=0` for those designs. **Replicate-weight designs and `n_bootstrap > 0` are mutually exclusive** (replicate variance is closed-form; bootstrap would double-count variance) — the combination raises `NotImplementedError`, matching `efficient_did.py:989`, `staggered.py:1869`, `two_stage.py:251-253`. For HonestDiD bounds under replicate weights, the replicate-effective `df_survey = min(resolved_survey.df_survey, min(n_valid_across_sites) - 1)` propagates to t-critical values — capped by the design's QR-rank-based df so a rank-deficient replicate matrix never produces a larger effective df than the design supports. When `resolved_survey.df_survey` is undefined (QR-rank ≤ 1), the effective df stays `None` and all inference fields (including HonestDiD bounds) are NaN — per-site `n_valid` cannot rescue a rank-deficient design. +- **Note (Survey IF expansion — library convention):** Survey IF expansion is a library extension not in the dCDH papers (the paper's plug-in variance assumes iid sampling).

Binder (1983) stratified-PSU variance aggregates the resulting `psi` at PSU level. **Post-period attribution convention:** each transition term in the IF sum (of the form `role_weight * (Y_{g, t} - Y_{g, t-1})` for DID_M or `S_g * (Y_{g, out} - Y_{g, ref})` for DID_l) is attributed as a single *difference* to the POST-period cell, not split into a `+Y_post` / `-Y_pre` pair across two cells. This is a library *convention*, not a theorem — adopted because it preserves the group-sum, PSU-sum, and cohort-sum identities of the previous group-level expansion (so Binder variance coincides with the group-level variance under the auto-injected `psu=group`) and because Monte Carlo coverage at nominal 95% is empirically close to nominal on a DGP where PSUs vary across the cells of each group (see `tests/test_dcdh_cell_period_coverage.py`). A covariance-aware two-cell allocator is a plausible alternative and may be worth exploring if future designs motivate an explicit observation-level IF derivation; the method currently in the library is **not derived from the observation-level survey linearization of the contrast** and makes no stronger claim than "coverage is approximately nominal under the tested DGPs and the group-sum identity holds exactly." Under within-group-constant PSU (the pre-allocator accepted input), per-cell sums telescope to `U_centered[g]` and Binder variance is byte-identical (up to single-ULP floating-point noise) to the previous group-level expansion. **Strata and PSU must be constant within each `(g, t)` cell** (trivially satisfied in one-obs-per-cell panels — the canonical dCDH structure); variation **across cells of a group** is supported by the allocator. Within-group-varying **weights** are supported as before. When `survey_design.psu` is not specified, `fit()` auto-injects `psu=` so the TSL variance, `df_survey`, and t-based inference match the per-group PSU structure. **Strata that vary across cells of a group require either an explicit `psu=` or the original `SurveyDesign(..., nest=True)` flag** — under `nest=True` the resolver combines `(stratum, psu)` into globally-unique labels, so the auto-injected `psu=` is re-labeled per stratum and the cell allocator proceeds. Only the `nest=False` + varying-strata + omitted-psu combination is rejected up front with a targeted `ValueError` at `fit()` time (the synthesized PSU column would reuse group labels across strata and trip the cross-stratum PSU uniqueness check in `SurveyDesign.resolve()`). Under replicate-weight designs, the same cell-level `psi_i` is aggregated via Rao-Wu weight-ratio rescaling (`compute_replicate_if_variance` at `diff_diff/survey.py:1681`) rather than the Binder TSL formula. All five methods (BRR/Fay/JK1/JKn/SDR) are supported method-agnostically through the unified helper; the effective `df_survey` is reduced to `min(n_valid) - 1` across IF sites when some replicate solves fail (matching `efficient_did.py:1133-1135` and `triple_diff.py:676-686` precedents). Under DID^X, the first-stage residualization coefficient `theta_hat` is computed once on full-sample weights and treated as fixed (FWL plug-in IF convention) — per-replicate refits of `theta_hat` are not performed. **Post-period attribution extends to heterogeneity (Binder TSL branch only):** the heterogeneity WLS coefficient IF `ψ_g = inv(X'WX)[1,:] @ x_g * W_g * r_g` is attributed in full to the single post-period cell `(g, out_idx)` at each horizon (same single-cell convention as DID_l), then expanded as `ψ_i = ψ_g * (w_i / W_{g, out_idx})`, and fed through `compute_survey_if_variance`. Under PSU=group the PSU-level aggregate telescopes to `ψ_g`, so Binder variance is byte-identical relative to the pre-cell-period release; under within-group-varying PSU mass lands in the post-period PSU. **Replicate-weight branch keeps the legacy group-level allocator** `ψ_i = ψ_g * (w_i / W_g)` because `compute_replicate_if_variance` computes `θ_r = sum_i ratio_ir * ψ_i` at observation level and is therefore not PSU-telescoping: redistributing mass onto the post-period cell would silently change the replicate SE whenever a replicate column's ratios vary within a group (the library accepts arbitrary per-row replicate matrices, not just PSU-aligned ones). The legacy allocator preserves byte-identity of the replicate SE for every previously-supported fit. Replicate + within-group-varying PSU is unreachable by construction (`SurveyDesign` rejects `replicate_weights` combined with explicit `strata/psu/fpc`). +- **Note (survey + bootstrap contract):** When `survey_design` and `n_bootstrap > 0` are both active, the bootstrap uses Hall-Mammen wild multiplier weights (Rademacher/Mammen/Webb) **at the PSU level**. Under the default auto-injected `psu=group`, the PSU coincides with the group so the wild bootstrap is a clean group-level clustered bootstrap (identity-map fast path, bit-identical to the non-survey multiplier bootstrap). When the user passes an explicit strictly-coarser PSU (e.g., `psu=state` with groups at county level), the IF contributions of all groups within a PSU receive the same bootstrap multiplier — the standard Hall-Mammen wild PSU bootstrap. Strata do not participate in the bootstrap randomization (they contribute only through the analytical TSL variance); this is conservative when strata differ substantially in variance. A `UserWarning` fires only when PSU is strictly coarser than group. **Cell-level wild PSU bootstrap under within-group-varying PSU:** when the PSU varies across the cells of a group, the bootstrap switches to a cell-level allocator: each `(g, t)` cell draws its multiplier from `w[psu(cell)]` via the per-cell PSU map `psu_codes_per_cell` (shape `(n_eligible_groups, n_periods)`, -1 sentinel for zero-weight cells). The bootstrap statistic becomes `theta_r = sum_c w[psu(c)] * u_centered_pp[c] / divisor` using the cohort-recentered per-cell IF `U_centered_per_period`. Under PSU-within-group-constant regimes (including PSU=group and strictly-coarser PSU with within-group constancy), the per-cell sum telescopes to the group-level form via the row-sum identity `sum_{c in g} U_centered_per_period[g, t] == U_centered[g]` (enforced by `_cohort_recenter_per_period`). A dispatcher in `_compute_dcdh_bootstrap` detects within-group-constancy and routes those regimes through the legacy group-level bootstrap path so their SE is **bit-identical** to the pre-cell-level release (guarded primarily by `test_bootstrap_se_matches_pre_pr4_baseline` and by the existing `test_auto_inject_bit_identical_to_group_level`). Under within-group-varying PSU, a group contributing cells to PSUs `p1, p2, ...` receives independent multiplier draws per PSU — the correct Hall-Mammen wild PSU clustering at cell granularity. **Multi-horizon bootstraps** draw a single shared `(n_bootstrap, n_psu)` PSU-level weight matrix per block and broadcast per-horizon via each horizon's cell-to-PSU map, so the sup-t simultaneous confidence band remains a valid joint distribution across horizons. **Library extension** — R `DIDmultiplegtDYN` does not support survey designs, so "deviation from R" does not apply. **Replicate-weight designs and `n_bootstrap > 0` are mutually exclusive** (replicate variance is closed-form; bootstrap would double-count variance) — the combination raises `NotImplementedError`, matching `efficient_did.py:989`, `staggered.py:1869`, `two_stage.py:251-253`. For HonestDiD bounds under replicate weights, the replicate-effective `df_survey = min(resolved_survey.df_survey, min(n_valid_across_sites) - 1)` propagates to t-critical values — capped by the design's QR-rank-based df so a rank-deficient replicate matrix never produces a larger effective df than the design supports. When `resolved_survey.df_survey` is undefined (QR-rank ≤ 1), the effective df stays `None` and all inference fields (including HonestDiD bounds) are NaN — per-site `n_valid` cannot rescue a rank-deficient design. --- diff --git a/tests/test_dcdh_bootstrap_cell_period_coverage.py b/tests/test_dcdh_bootstrap_cell_period_coverage.py new file mode 100644 index 00000000..5e965b52 --- /dev/null +++ b/tests/test_dcdh_bootstrap_cell_period_coverage.py @@ -0,0 +1,179 @@ +"""Monte Carlo coverage simulation for the cell-level wild PSU bootstrap +in ChaisemartinDHaultfoeuille (PR 4). + +Validates empirical coverage of the bootstrap confidence intervals under +a DGP with PSU that varies across cells of the same group — the regime +unlocked by PR 4's replacement of the group-level PSU map with a +cell-level map.

The bootstrap then silently dropped to unclustered group-level instead of excluding only that group's empty row. Fix: always populate psu_codes_per_cell_bootstrap once the tensor is built; the cell-level path already masks out -1 cells at unroll time. Always populate group_id_to_psu_code_bootstrap with a per-group code (use placeholder 0 for all-sentinel rows since those groups have no IF mass and the multiplier they receive is irrelevant on either the legacy or the cell-level path). **P0 #2 - dense PSU codes factorized over non-eligible subset.** `np.unique(obs_psu_codes[pos_mask_boot])` previously included PSU labels from groups that were filtered out of _eligible_group_ids (e.g., singleton-baseline-excluded groups). The excluded groups' PSUs contributed dense codes that formed gaps in the eligible subset's map. Downstream `_generate_psu_or_group_weights` computes `n_psu = max(code) + 1` and triggers the identity fast path when `n_psu >= n_groups_target`. A gapped map like `[1, 1]` or `[0, 2, 2]` silently activated independent-draws clustering for eligible groups that should have shared a multiplier. Fix: restrict the np.unique factorization to the eligible-subset positive-weight obs only (`elig_obs_mask = pos_mask_boot & (g_idx_arr >= 0) & (t_idx_arr >= 0)`), so the dense code domain exactly matches the PSUs actually used by variance-eligible groups. Tests: - `test_bootstrap_zero_weight_group_equivalent_to_removing_it`: fit with vs without an all-zero-weight eligible group must produce byte-identical bootstrap SE at the same seed (byte- identity would have failed before P0 #1 fix because valid_map flipped the PSU-aware path off for the with-zero-group fit). - `test_bootstrap_dense_codes_under_singleton_baseline_excluded_group`: spies on the group_id_to_psu_code dict passed to `_compute_dcdh_bootstrap` under a fixture with an always-treated singleton-baseline group and strictly-coarser PSU among eligible groups. Asserts the dict's values form a contiguous `[0, n_unique-1]` range (no gaps from the excluded group's PSU), and that eligible groups sharing a PSU label receive the same dense code.

The old code collected `labels[0]` per eligible group, so a within-group-varying PSU design was mis-counted as having one PSU per group and emitted a misleading "strictly-coarser PSU" UserWarning. Rewrite counts unique PSU labels across all positive-weight obs of eligible groups (not just the first label per group); under PSU=group unchanged, under varying-PSU no false warning. 2. **REGISTRY heterogeneity Note still claimed NotImplementedError** (`REGISTRY.md:618`, "Combining heterogeneity= with n_bootstrap > 0 and within-group-varying PSU still raises NotImplementedError"). That gate was removed in the current PR. Update to clarify that heterogeneity inference stays analytical when bootstrap runs on the main ATT surfaces — the two inference paths are independent. 3. **Zero-weight-equivalence test used `psu=group`** (`test_bootstrap_zero_weight_group_equivalent_to_removing_it`). Under PSU=group both the buggy and correct code paths collapse to the same identity-draw structure, so the test didn't actually exercise the P0 #1 regression.

The Rambachan-Roth restrictions bound violations of the parallel trends assumption underlying the dCDH placebo estimand; interpretation differs from canonical event-study HonestDiD. A `UserWarning` is emitted at runtime. Uses diagonal variance (no full VCV available for dCDH). Relative magnitudes (DeltaRM) with Mbar=1.0 is the default when called from `fit()`, targeting the equal-weight average over all post-treatment horizons (`l_vec=None`). R's HonestDiD defaults to the first post/on-impact effect; use `compute_honest_did(results, ...)` with a custom `l_vec` to match that behavior. When `trends_linear=True`, bounds apply to the second-differenced estimand (parallel trends in first differences). Requires `L_max >= 1` for multi-horizon placebos. Gaps in the horizon grid from `trends_nonparam` support-trimming are handled by filtering to the largest consecutive block and warning. diff --git a/tests/test_survey_dcdh.py b/tests/test_survey_dcdh.py index c4793bd6..3a2da497 100644 --- a/tests/test_survey_dcdh.py +++ b/tests/test_survey_dcdh.py @@ -2003,16 +2003,21 @@ def test_bootstrap_cell_level_with_all_zero_weight_group_does_not_crash(self): assert np.isfinite(res.bootstrap_results.overall_se) def test_bootstrap_zero_weight_group_equivalent_to_removing_it(self): - """Fixture A: 9 groups (1 all-zero-weighted + 8 positive). - Fixture B: 8 groups (same panel without the zero-weight - group).

The PR-4 cell-level bootstrap builds `psu_codes_per_cell` with -1 sentinels for such cells and `_unroll_target_to_cells` drops them — silently losing that centered mass. Under within-group-varying PSU + terminal missingness, this would under-cluster the bootstrap SE/CI/p-values. Conservative guard: `_unroll_target_to_cells` now raises `ValueError` when any sentinel cell (-1 PSU) carries non-zero cohort-recentered IF mass (|u| > 1e-12). The error message points users to `n_bootstrap=0` for analytical TSL on such panels. The analytical path has the same mass-leakage behavior under this regime but was shipped in PR #323; documenting the bootstrap- specific guard here avoids advertising a broken combination. Regression test: `test_bootstrap_cell_level_raises_on_sentinel_mass_leak` constructs a per-cell IF tensor with non-zero mass at a -1-PSU cell and asserts `_compute_dcdh_bootstrap` raises with the documented error message. **P2 (tests):** The slow MC bootstrap coverage test previously ran at `L_max=1`, which collapsed the multi-horizon block to a single target and never exercised the cross-horizon shared-weight path described in its own docstring. Bumped to `L_max=2` so the shared (n_bootstrap, n_psu) PSU-level weight matrix is drawn once and broadcast across horizons via each horizon's cell-to-PSU map. Added three assertions: - Horizon-1 bootstrap CI coverage in [0.925, 0.975]. - Horizon-2 bootstrap CI coverage in [0.910, 0.975]. Tolerance is wider than h-1 because finite-sample analytical TSL coverage on this DGP is itself ~0.93 at l=2 (measured offline: analytical h-1 = 0.94, h-2 = 0.926 at n_groups=40). An observed bootstrap coverage within 1pp of the analytical baseline is consistent with correct clustering; a drop to ≤ 0.90 would indicate a real shared-weight broadcast regression. - `cband_crit_value` finite in ≥ 90% of reps — validates that the shared (n_bootstrap, n_psu) weight matrix produces a coherent joint distribution across horizons (required for a valid sup-t simultaneous band). Bumped n_bootstrap to 1000 (from 500) to keep internal bootstrap MC noise below ~0.3pp per CI endpoint at horizon-2's slightly wider percentile-CI spread.

At period 4 the other joiners serve as stable_1 controls for the leavers, producing non-zero cohort mean in cohort A — `_cohort_recenter_per_period` leaks `-col_mean` onto group 2's missing cell. Varying PSU (period parity per group) routes the bootstrap to the cell-level path. Test asserts: - `fit(..., n_bootstrap=50)` raises `ValueError` with the documented "no positive-weight observations" message. - `fit(..., n_bootstrap=0)` succeeds on the same panel — analytical TSL supports this regime (the contract the scope note preserves).

This happens when a terminally-missing group is in a cohort with other groups that still contribute at the missing period — the missing cell acquires `-col_mean` in `_cohort_recenter_per_period` but the cell-level bootstrap has no PSU to attach that mass to.

The covariate residualization applies only to the per-group `DID_{g,l}` path (`L_max >= 1`), which produces `event_study_effects` and `overall_att`. This means `per_period_effects` and `event_study_effects[1]` may diverge when controls are active - by design (the per-period path uses binary joiner/leaver categorization and is not part of the DID^X contract). Implements the residualization-style covariate adjustment from Web Appendix Section 1.2 (Assumption 11). For each baseline treatment value `d`, estimates `theta_hat_d` via OLS of first-differenced outcomes on first-differenced covariates with time FEs, restricted to not-yet-treated observations. Residualizes at levels: `Y_tilde[g,t] = Y[g,t] - X[g,t] @ theta_hat_d`. All downstream DID computations use residualized outcomes. This is NOT doubly-robust, NOT IPW, NOT Callaway-Sant'Anna-style. Plug-in IF (treating `theta_hat` as fixed) is valid by FWL theorem. **Deviation from R `DIDmultiplegtDYN`:** The first-stage OLS uses equal cell weights (one observation per `(g,t)` cell), consistent with the library's cell-count weighting convention documented in Phase 1. R weights by `N_gt` (observation count per cell). On panels with 1 observation per cell (the common case), results are identical.

The library convention builds observation-level `psi_i` by proportionally distributing per-group IF mass within weight share: either at the group level (`psi_i = U_centered[g] * w_i / W_g`, the previous convention) or at the per-`(g, t)` cell level via the cell-period allocator shipped in this release. Cell-level expansion: decompose `U[g]` into per-period attributions `U[g, t]`, cohort-center each column independently, then expand to observation level as `psi_i = U_centered_per_period[g_i, t_i] * (w_i / W_{g_i, t_i})`. Binder (1983) stratified-PSU variance aggregates the resulting `psi` at PSU level. **Post-period attribution convention:** each transition term in the IF sum (of the form `role_weight * (Y_{g, t} - Y_{g, t-1})` for DID_M or `S_g * (Y_{g, out} - Y_{g, ref})` for DID_l) is attributed as a single *difference* to the POST-period cell, not split into a `+Y_post` / `-Y_pre` pair across two cells. This is a library *convention*, not a theorem — adopted because it preserves the group-sum, PSU-sum, and cohort-sum identities of the previous group-level expansion (so Binder variance coincides with the group-level variance under the auto-injected `psu=group`) and because Monte Carlo coverage at nominal 95% is empirically close to nominal on a DGP where PSUs vary across the cells of each group (see `tests/test_dcdh_cell_period_coverage.py`). A covariance-aware two-cell allocator is a plausible alternative and may be worth exploring if future designs motivate an explicit observation-level IF derivation; the method currently in the library is **not derived from the observation-level survey linearization of the contrast** and makes no stronger claim than "coverage is approximately nominal under the tested DGPs and the group-sum identity holds exactly." Under within-group-constant PSU (the pre-allocator accepted input), per-cell sums telescope to `U_centered[g]` and Binder variance is byte-identical (up to single-ULP floating-point noise) to the previous group-level expansion. **Strata and PSU must be constant within each `(g, t)` cell** (trivially satisfied in one-obs-per-cell panels — the canonical dCDH structure); variation **across cells of a group** is supported by the allocator. Within-group-varying **weights** are supported as before. When `survey_design.psu` is not specified, `fit()` auto-injects `psu=` so the TSL variance, `df_survey`, and t-based inference match the per-group PSU structure. **Strata that vary across cells of a group require either an explicit `psu=` or the original `SurveyDesign(..., nest=True)` flag** — under `nest=True` the resolver combines `(stratum, psu)` into globally-unique labels, so the auto-injected `psu=` is re-labeled per stratum and the cell allocator proceeds. Only the `nest=False` + varying-strata + omitted-psu combination is rejected up front with a targeted `ValueError` at `fit()` time (the synthesized PSU column would reuse group labels across strata and trip the cross-stratum PSU uniqueness check in `SurveyDesign.resolve()`). Under replicate-weight designs, the same cell-level `psi_i` is aggregated via Rao-Wu weight-ratio rescaling (`compute_replicate_if_variance` at `diff_diff/survey.py:1681`) rather than the Binder TSL formula. All five methods (BRR/Fay/JK1/JKn/SDR) are supported method-agnostically through the unified helper; the effective `df_survey` is reduced to `min(n_valid) - 1` across IF sites when some replicate solves fail (matching `efficient_did.py:1133-1135` and `triple_diff.py:676-686` precedents). Under DID^X, the first-stage residualization coefficient `theta_hat` is computed once on full-sample weights and treated as fixed (FWL plug-in IF convention) — per-replicate refits of `theta_hat` are not performed. **Post-period attribution extends to heterogeneity (Binder TSL branch only):** the heterogeneity WLS coefficient IF `ψ_g = inv(X'WX)[1,:] @ x_g * W_g * r_g` is attributed in full to the single post-period cell `(g, out_idx)` at each horizon (same single-cell convention as DID_l), then expanded as `ψ_i = ψ_g * (w_i / W_{g, out_idx})`, and fed through `compute_survey_if_variance`. Under PSU=group the PSU-level aggregate telescopes to `ψ_g`, so Binder variance is byte-identical relative to the pre-cell-period release; under within-group-varying PSU mass lands in the post-period PSU. **Replicate-weight branch keeps the legacy group-level allocator** `ψ_i = ψ_g * (w_i / W_g)` because `compute_replicate_if_variance` computes `θ_r = sum_i ratio_ir * ψ_i` at observation level and is therefore not PSU-telescoping: redistributing mass onto the post-period cell would silently change the replicate SE whenever a replicate column's ratios vary within a group (the library accepts arbitrary per-row replicate matrices, not just PSU-aligned ones). The legacy allocator preserves byte-identity of the replicate SE for every previously-supported fit. Replicate + within-group-varying PSU is unreachable by construction (`SurveyDesign` rejects `replicate_weights` combined with explicit `strata/psu/fpc`). -- **Note (survey + bootstrap contract):** When `survey_design` and `n_bootstrap > 0` are both active, the bootstrap uses Hall-Mammen wild multiplier weights (Rademacher/Mammen/Webb) **at the PSU level**. Under the default auto-injected `psu=group`, the PSU coincides with the group so the wild bootstrap is a clean group-level clustered bootstrap (identity-map fast path, bit-identical to the non-survey multiplier bootstrap). When the user passes an explicit strictly-coarser PSU (e.g., `psu=state` with groups at county level), the IF contributions of all groups within a PSU receive the same bootstrap multiplier — the standard Hall-Mammen wild PSU bootstrap. Strata do not participate in the bootstrap randomization (they contribute only through the analytical TSL variance); this is conservative when strata differ substantially in variance. A `UserWarning` fires only when PSU is strictly coarser than group. **Cell-level wild PSU bootstrap under within-group-varying PSU:** when the PSU varies across the cells of a group, the bootstrap switches to a cell-level allocator: each `(g, t)` cell draws its multiplier from `w[psu(cell)]` via the per-cell PSU map `psu_codes_per_cell` (shape `(n_eligible_groups, n_periods)`, -1 sentinel for zero-weight cells). The bootstrap statistic becomes `theta_r = sum_c w[psu(c)] * u_centered_pp[c] / divisor` using the cohort-recentered per-cell IF `U_centered_per_period`. Under PSU-within-group-constant regimes (including PSU=group and strictly-coarser PSU with within-group constancy), the per-cell sum telescopes to the group-level form via the row-sum identity `sum_{c in g} U_centered_per_period[g, t] == U_centered[g]` (enforced by `_cohort_recenter_per_period`). A dispatcher in `_compute_dcdh_bootstrap` detects within-group-constancy and routes those regimes through the legacy group-level bootstrap path so their SE is **bit-identical** to the pre-cell-level release (guarded primarily by `test_bootstrap_se_matches_pre_pr4_baseline` and by the existing `test_auto_inject_bit_identical_to_group_level`). Under within-group-varying PSU, a group contributing cells to PSUs `p1, p2, ...` receives independent multiplier draws per PSU — the correct Hall-Mammen wild PSU clustering at cell granularity. **Multi-horizon bootstraps** draw a single shared `(n_bootstrap, n_psu)` PSU-level weight matrix per block and broadcast per-horizon via each horizon's cell-to-PSU map, so the sup-t simultaneous confidence band remains a valid joint distribution across horizons. **Library extension** — R `DIDmultiplegtDYN` does not support survey designs, so "deviation from R" does not apply. **Replicate-weight designs and `n_bootstrap > 0` are mutually exclusive** (replicate variance is closed-form; bootstrap would double-count variance) — the combination raises `NotImplementedError`, matching `efficient_did.py:989`, `staggered.py:1869`, `two_stage.py:251-253`. For HonestDiD bounds under replicate weights, the replicate-effective `df_survey = min(resolved_survey.df_survey, min(n_valid_across_sites) - 1)` propagates to t-critical values — capped by the design's QR-rank-based df so a rank-deficient replicate matrix never produces a larger effective df than the design supports. When `resolved_survey.df_survey` is undefined (QR-rank ≤ 1), the effective df stays `None` and all inference fields (including HonestDiD bounds) are NaN — per-site `n_valid` cannot rescue a rank-deficient design. +- **Note (survey + bootstrap contract):** When `survey_design` and `n_bootstrap > 0` are both active, the bootstrap uses Hall-Mammen wild multiplier weights (Rademacher/Mammen/Webb) **at the PSU level**.

The cell-level bootstrap cannot allocate that mass to any PSU and raises a targeted `ValueError` (`_unroll_target_to_cells`). Use `n_bootstrap=0` (analytical TSL variance) on such panels — the analytical path's same behavior under this regime is a separate open methodology question tracked in `TODO.md`.

If so, raises a targeted `ValueError` mirroring the bootstrap-side `_unroll_target_to_cells` guard. The message text is aligned across the two paths (same "no positive-weight observations" phrasing) so the regression test matches both. **Docs cleanup.** Removed the "use n_bootstrap=0 as workaround" language from REGISTRY, CHANGELOG, and the fit() docstring. Replaced with the correct workaround: pre-process the panel (drop late-exit groups / trim to a balanced sub-panel), or use an explicit `psu=` so the dispatcher routes through the legacy group-level path (which does not use the cell-period allocator and is not affected by the mass-leak). **Regression test update.** The end-to-end fit() regression now asserts `ValueError` on BOTH `n_bootstrap=0` and `n_bootstrap > 0` under the terminally-missing + within-group-varying PSU fixture. This is technically a behavior change for panels previously covered silently by PR #323's cell-period analytical allocator — those panels used to produce finite (but silently mass-dropped) SEs and now raise. The change closes a real silent-correctness bug; the analytical path never had a principled treatment for the leaked mass in the first place.

Terminal missingness is supported at the POINT-ESTIMATE level because the per-period `present = (N_mat[:, t] > 0) & (N_mat[:, t-1] > 0)` guard appears at three sites in the variance computation (`_compute_per_period_dids`, `_compute_full_per_group_contributions`, `_compute_cohort_recentered_inputs`) and cleanly masks out missing transitions without propagating NaN into the arithmetic. **Scope limitation (terminal missingness + within-group-varying PSU):** under survey designs with PSU that varies within group, **both** the cell-level wild PSU bootstrap (`n_bootstrap > 0`) **and** the analytical TSL variance (`n_bootstrap=0`) raise a targeted `ValueError` when cohort-recentering leaks non-zero centered IF mass onto cells with no positive-weight observations. This happens when a terminally-missing group is in a cohort with other groups that still contribute at the missing period: the missing cell acquires `-col_mean` in `_cohort_recenter_per_period`, and the cell-period allocator (shared by both paths) cannot allocate that mass to any observation or PSU. The targeted `ValueError` is fired by `_survey_se_from_group_if` (analytical) and by `_unroll_target_to_cells` (bootstrap). The PSU-within-group-constant regimes (including PSU=group auto-inject) are unaffected: the analytical path's PSU-level sum telescopes correctly via the row-sum identity and the bootstrap dispatcher routes through the legacy group-level path. **Workaround:** pre-process the panel to remove terminal missingness before fitting (drop late-exit groups or trim to a balanced sub-panel), or use an explicit `psu=` so the dispatcher / analytical path routes through the legacy group-level sum. The broader unbalanced-panel workaround (back-fill the baseline or drop late-entry groups before fitting, or use R `DIDmultiplegtDYN`) also applies. The Step 5b `ValueError` and `UserWarning` messages name the offending group IDs so you can locate them quickly. - **Note (Phase 3 DID^X covariate adjustment):** When `controls` is set, `per_period_effects` (the Phase 1 per-period DID_M decomposition) remains **unadjusted** (computed on raw outcomes). The covariate residualization applies only to the per-group `DID_{g,l}` path (`L_max >= 1`), which produces `event_study_effects` and `overall_att`. This means `per_period_effects` and `event_study_effects[1]` may diverge when controls are active - by design (the per-period path uses binary joiner/leaver categorization and is not part of the DID^X contract). Implements the residualization-style covariate adjustment from Web Appendix Section 1.2 (Assumption 11). For each baseline treatment value `d`, estimates `theta_hat_d` via OLS of first-differenced outcomes on first-differenced covariates with time FEs, restricted to not-yet-treated observations. Residualizes at levels: `Y_tilde[g,t] = Y[g,t] - X[g,t] @ theta_hat_d`. All downstream DID computations use residualized outcomes. This is NOT doubly-robust, NOT IPW, NOT Callaway-Sant'Anna-style. Plug-in IF (treating `theta_hat` as fixed) is valid by FWL theorem. **Deviation from R `DIDmultiplegtDYN`:** The first-stage OLS uses equal cell weights (one observation per `(g,t)` cell), consistent with the library's cell-count weighting convention documented in Phase 1. R weights by `N_gt` (observation count per cell). On panels with 1 observation per cell (the common case), results are identical. When baseline-specific first stages fail (`n_obs = 0` or `n_obs < n_params`), the affected strata are excluded from the estimation (outcomes set to NaN) rather than retained unadjusted - matching R's "drop failed strata" behavior. Requires `L_max >= 1`. Activated via `controls=["col1", "col2"]` in `fit()`. @@ -650,7 +650,7 @@ Alternative: Multiplier bootstrap clustered at group via the `n_bootstrap` param - [x] HonestDiD (Rambachan-Roth 2023) integration on placebo + event study surface - [x] Survey design support: pweight with strata/PSU/FPC via Taylor Series Linearization (analytical) **or replicate-weight variance (BRR/Fay/JK1/JKn/SDR)**, covering the main ATT surface, covariate adjustment (DID^X), heterogeneity testing, the TWFE diagnostic (fit and standalone `twowayfeweights()` helper), and HonestDiD bounds. Opt-in **PSU-level Hall-Mammen wild bootstrap** is also supported via `n_bootstrap > 0`. - **Note (Survey IF expansion — library convention):** Survey IF expansion is a library extension not in the dCDH papers (the paper's plug-in variance assumes iid sampling). The library convention builds observation-level `psi_i` by proportionally distributing per-group IF mass within weight share: either at the group level (`psi_i = U_centered[g] * w_i / W_g`, the previous convention) or at the per-`(g, t)` cell level via the cell-period allocator shipped in this release. Cell-level expansion: decompose `U[g]` into per-period attributions `U[g, t]`, cohort-center each column independently, then expand to observation level as `psi_i = U_centered_per_period[g_i, t_i] * (w_i / W_{g_i, t_i})`. Binder (1983) stratified-PSU variance aggregates the resulting `psi` at PSU level. **Post-period attribution convention:** each transition term in the IF sum (of the form `role_weight * (Y_{g, t} - Y_{g, t-1})` for DID_M or `S_g * (Y_{g, out} - Y_{g, ref})` for DID_l) is attributed as a single *difference* to the POST-period cell, not split into a `+Y_post` / `-Y_pre` pair across two cells. This is a library *convention*, not a theorem — adopted because it preserves the group-sum, PSU-sum, and cohort-sum identities of the previous group-level expansion (so Binder variance coincides with the group-level variance under the auto-injected `psu=group`) and because Monte Carlo coverage at nominal 95% is empirically close to nominal on a DGP where PSUs vary across the cells of each group (see `tests/test_dcdh_cell_period_coverage.py`). A covariance-aware two-cell allocator is a plausible alternative and may be worth exploring if future designs motivate an explicit observation-level IF derivation; the method currently in the library is **not derived from the observation-level survey linearization of the contrast** and makes no stronger claim than "coverage is approximately nominal under the tested DGPs and the group-sum identity holds exactly." Under within-group-constant PSU (the pre-allocator accepted input), per-cell sums telescope to `U_centered[g]` and Binder variance is byte-identical (up to single-ULP floating-point noise) to the previous group-level expansion. **Strata and PSU must be constant within each `(g, t)` cell** (trivially satisfied in one-obs-per-cell panels — the canonical dCDH structure); variation **across cells of a group** is supported by the allocator. Within-group-varying **weights** are supported as before. When `survey_design.psu` is not specified, `fit()` auto-injects `psu=` so the TSL variance, `df_survey`, and t-based inference match the per-group PSU structure. **Strata that vary across cells of a group require either an explicit `psu=` or the original `SurveyDesign(..., nest=True)` flag** — under `nest=True` the resolver combines `(stratum, psu)` into globally-unique labels, so the auto-injected `psu=` is re-labeled per stratum and the cell allocator proceeds. Only the `nest=False` + varying-strata + omitted-psu combination is rejected up front with a targeted `ValueError` at `fit()` time (the synthesized PSU column would reuse group labels across strata and trip the cross-stratum PSU uniqueness check in `SurveyDesign.resolve()`). Under replicate-weight designs, the same cell-level `psi_i` is aggregated via Rao-Wu weight-ratio rescaling (`compute_replicate_if_variance` at `diff_diff/survey.py:1681`) rather than the Binder TSL formula. All five methods (BRR/Fay/JK1/JKn/SDR) are supported method-agnostically through the unified helper; the effective `df_survey` is reduced to `min(n_valid) - 1` across IF sites when some replicate solves fail (matching `efficient_did.py:1133-1135` and `triple_diff.py:676-686` precedents). Under DID^X, the first-stage residualization coefficient `theta_hat` is computed once on full-sample weights and treated as fixed (FWL plug-in IF convention) — per-replicate refits of `theta_hat` are not performed. **Post-period attribution extends to heterogeneity (Binder TSL branch only):** the heterogeneity WLS coefficient IF `ψ_g = inv(X'WX)[1,:] @ x_g * W_g * r_g` is attributed in full to the single post-period cell `(g, out_idx)` at each horizon (same single-cell convention as DID_l), then expanded as `ψ_i = ψ_g * (w_i / W_{g, out_idx})`, and fed through `compute_survey_if_variance`. Under PSU=group the PSU-level aggregate telescopes to `ψ_g`, so Binder variance is byte-identical relative to the pre-cell-period release; under within-group-varying PSU mass lands in the post-period PSU. **Replicate-weight branch keeps the legacy group-level allocator** `ψ_i = ψ_g * (w_i / W_g)` because `compute_replicate_if_variance` computes `θ_r = sum_i ratio_ir * ψ_i` at observation level and is therefore not PSU-telescoping: redistributing mass onto the post-period cell would silently change the replicate SE whenever a replicate column's ratios vary within a group (the library accepts arbitrary per-row replicate matrices, not just PSU-aligned ones). The legacy allocator preserves byte-identity of the replicate SE for every previously-supported fit. Replicate + within-group-varying PSU is unreachable by construction (`SurveyDesign` rejects `replicate_weights` combined with explicit `strata/psu/fpc`). -- **Note (survey + bootstrap contract):** When `survey_design` and `n_bootstrap > 0` are both active, the bootstrap uses Hall-Mammen wild multiplier weights (Rademacher/Mammen/Webb) **at the PSU level**. Under the default auto-injected `psu=group`, the PSU coincides with the group so the wild bootstrap is a clean group-level clustered bootstrap (identity-map fast path, bit-identical to the non-survey multiplier bootstrap). When the user passes an explicit strictly-coarser PSU (e.g., `psu=state` with groups at county level), the IF contributions of all groups within a PSU receive the same bootstrap multiplier — the standard Hall-Mammen wild PSU bootstrap. Strata do not participate in the bootstrap randomization (they contribute only through the analytical TSL variance); this is conservative when strata differ substantially in variance. A `UserWarning` fires only when PSU is strictly coarser than group. **Cell-level wild PSU bootstrap under within-group-varying PSU:** when the PSU varies across the cells of a group, the bootstrap switches to a cell-level allocator: each `(g, t)` cell draws its multiplier from `w[psu(cell)]` via the per-cell PSU map `psu_codes_per_cell` (shape `(n_eligible_groups, n_periods)`, -1 sentinel for zero-weight cells). The bootstrap statistic becomes `theta_r = sum_c w[psu(c)] * u_centered_pp[c] / divisor` using the cohort-recentered per-cell IF `U_centered_per_period`. Under PSU-within-group-constant regimes (including PSU=group and strictly-coarser PSU with within-group constancy), the per-cell sum telescopes to the group-level form via the row-sum identity `sum_{c in g} U_centered_per_period[g, t] == U_centered[g]` (enforced by `_cohort_recenter_per_period`). A dispatcher in `_compute_dcdh_bootstrap` detects within-group-constancy and routes those regimes through the legacy group-level bootstrap path so their SE is **bit-identical** to the pre-cell-level release (guarded primarily by `test_bootstrap_se_matches_pre_pr4_baseline` and by the existing `test_auto_inject_bit_identical_to_group_level`). Under within-group-varying PSU, a group contributing cells to PSUs `p1, p2, ...` receives independent multiplier draws per PSU — the correct Hall-Mammen wild PSU clustering at cell granularity. **Multi-horizon bootstraps** draw a single shared `(n_bootstrap, n_psu)` PSU-level weight matrix per block and broadcast per-horizon via each horizon's cell-to-PSU map, so the sup-t simultaneous confidence band remains a valid joint distribution across horizons. **Library extension** — R `DIDmultiplegtDYN` does not support survey designs, so "deviation from R" does not apply. **Scope note (terminal missingness + within-group-varying PSU + bootstrap):** when a terminally-missing group is in a cohort whose other groups still contribute at the missing period, `_cohort_recenter_per_period` leaks non-zero centered IF mass onto cells with no positive-weight observations. The cell-level bootstrap cannot allocate that mass to any PSU and raises a targeted `ValueError` (`_unroll_target_to_cells`). Use `n_bootstrap=0` (analytical TSL variance) on such panels — the analytical path's same behavior under this regime is a separate open methodology question tracked in `TODO.md`. PSU-within-group-constant regimes are unaffected (dispatcher routes to the legacy group-level bootstrap, which does not use the cell-period allocator). **Replicate-weight designs and `n_bootstrap > 0` are mutually exclusive** (replicate variance is closed-form; bootstrap would double-count variance) — the combination raises `NotImplementedError`, matching `efficient_did.py:989`, `staggered.py:1869`, `two_stage.py:251-253`. For HonestDiD bounds under replicate weights, the replicate-effective `df_survey = min(resolved_survey.df_survey, min(n_valid_across_sites) - 1)` propagates to t-critical values — capped by the design's QR-rank-based df so a rank-deficient replicate matrix never produces a larger effective df than the design supports. When `resolved_survey.df_survey` is undefined (QR-rank ≤ 1), the effective df stays `None` and all inference fields (including HonestDiD bounds) are NaN — per-site `n_valid` cannot rescue a rank-deficient design. +- **Note (survey + bootstrap contract):** When `survey_design` and `n_bootstrap > 0` are both active, the bootstrap uses Hall-Mammen wild multiplier weights (Rademacher/Mammen/Webb) **at the PSU level**. Under the default auto-injected `psu=group`, the PSU coincides with the group so the wild bootstrap is a clean group-level clustered bootstrap (identity-map fast path, bit-identical to the non-survey multiplier bootstrap).

A `UserWarning` fires only when PSU is strictly coarser than group. **Cell-level wild PSU bootstrap under within-group-varying PSU:** when the PSU varies across the cells of a group, the bootstrap switches to a cell-level allocator: each `(g, t)` cell draws its multiplier from `w[psu(cell)]` via the per-cell PSU map `psu_codes_per_cell` (shape `(n_eligible_groups, n_periods)`, -1 sentinel for zero-weight cells). The bootstrap statistic becomes `theta_r = sum_c w[psu(c)] * u_centered_pp[c] / divisor` using the cohort-recentered per-cell IF `U_centered_per_period`. Under PSU-within-group-constant regimes (including PSU=group and strictly-coarser PSU with within-group constancy), the per-cell sum telescopes to the group-level form via the row-sum identity `sum_{c in g} U_centered_per_period[g, t] == U_centered[g]` (enforced by `_cohort_recenter_per_period`). A dispatcher in `_compute_dcdh_bootstrap` detects within-group-constancy and routes those regimes through the legacy group-level bootstrap path so their SE is **bit-identical** to the pre-cell-level release (guarded primarily by `test_bootstrap_se_matches_pre_pr4_baseline` and by the existing `test_auto_inject_bit_identical_to_group_level`). Under within-group-varying PSU, a group contributing cells to PSUs `p1, p2, ...` receives independent multiplier draws per PSU — the correct Hall-Mammen wild PSU clustering at cell granularity. **Multi-horizon bootstraps** draw a single shared `(n_bootstrap, n_psu)` PSU-level weight matrix per block and broadcast per-horizon via each horizon's cell-to-PSU map, so the sup-t simultaneous confidence band remains a valid joint distribution across horizons. **Library extension** — R `DIDmultiplegtDYN` does not support survey designs, so "deviation from R" does not apply. **Scope note (terminal missingness + within-group-varying PSU):** see the balanced-baseline Note above for the full carve-out. In brief: when a terminally-missing group is in a cohort whose other groups still contribute at the missing period, `_cohort_recenter_per_period` leaks non-zero centered IF mass onto cells with no positive-weight observations. **Both** paths using the cell-period allocator — the analytical TSL path (`_survey_se_from_group_if`) and the cell-level wild PSU bootstrap (`_unroll_target_to_cells`) — raise a targeted `ValueError` rather than silently under-clustering. The workaround is to pre-process the panel (remove terminal missingness) or use an explicit `psu=` so the dispatcher routes through the legacy group-level path.

But the docs said those regimes are the intended workaround. Panels with terminal missingness and PSU=group are the documented supported path and must not raise. Fix: add an analytical dispatcher inside `_survey_se_from_group_if` mirroring the bootstrap's `_psu_varies_within_group` routing. When PSU is within-group-constant on the eligible subset, fall back to the legacy group-level allocator (which uses U_centered[g] directly via the row-sum identity and does not trigger the sentinel-mass guard). Only when PSU actually varies within group does the cell allocator run — and only then can the sentinel-mass guard fire. Byte-identity: under PSU=group the row-sum identity makes the cell and group allocators statistically equivalent, but the legacy branch was the one in use before PR #323 introduced the cell allocator. Rerouting to it under within-group-constant regimes is a regression-free fallback (it's what PR #323 aimed to preserve via byte-identity in the first place). Test coverage: added `test_fit_succeeds_on_terminal_missingness_with_psu_group` — same fixture as the varying-PSU failure regression but with auto-inject `psu=`, asserts both `n_bootstrap=0` and `n_bootstrap > 0` succeed with finite SE. Also updated the cell-level bootstrap `ValueError` text (and the _unroll_target_to_cells docstring) to no longer advertise `n_bootstrap=0` as a workaround — both paths now fail consistently on the varying-PSU carve-out, and the correct workaround is pre-processing or using an explicit `psu=`.

That's an allocator change on a Class A surface (overall DID_M, joiners, leavers, dynamic placebos) under per-row-varying replicate ratios, where cell and legacy allocators produce materially different Rao-Wu variances (same non-invariance PR #329 established for heterogeneity). Fix: restrict the round-6 fallback to the TSL branch by gating on `not resolved.uses_replicate_variance`. Replicate designs retain the cell-period allocator (the PR #323 Class A contract), and the sentinel-mass guard still fires on mass leakage when it applies. Regression: `TestReplicateClassA::test_att_cell_allocator_with_varying_replicate_ratios` constructs legacy and cell-level psi_obs on the fitted replicate design, feeds both through `compute_replicate_if_variance`, and asserts they produce materially different variances — locking the allocator contract so a future refactor that switches Class A to the legacy allocator would be detectable. Mirrors the heterogeneity non-invariance guard from PR #329's CI review round.

The docs previously scoped the carve-out to "within-group-varying PSU / analytical TSL / bootstrap" and silently omitted the replicate path. Rewrite the scope note in REGISTRY.md (both the balanced- baseline Note and the Survey + bootstrap contract Note), CHANGELOG, and the fit() docstring to list all three affected paths explicitly: Binder TSL with within-group-varying PSU, Rao-Wu replicate ATT, and the cell-level wild PSU bootstrap. Clarify that the `psu=` workaround applies ONLY to Binder TSL — replicate ATT and the varying-PSU bootstrap have no allocator fallback; the only workaround for those paths is pre-processing the panel to remove terminal missingness. **P2 (synthetic allocator test didn't pin fitted SE):** the previous `test_att_cell_allocator_with_varying_replicate_ratios` showed that synthetic cell and legacy allocators differ, but never tied the difference back to the fit's `overall_se`. A refactor switching Class A replicate to the legacy allocator could have slipped through unnoticed. Rewrite using a pytest monkeypatch spy on `compute_replicate_if_variance` to capture the psi_obs the fit actually passes, then reconstruct the legacy-equivalent psi_obs via the row-sum identity on the SAME captured `U_centered` and verify: - fit's `overall_se**2` equals the recomputed variance on the captured cell-allocator psi_obs (sanity / dispatch alignment); - the legacy-reconstructed psi_obs produces a materially different Rao-Wu variance on the same fixture — so a silent Class A allocator regression would flip overall_se and fail this guard. No code behavior changed in round-8 beyond the doc updates — only the test and documentation now lock the contract explicitly.

On the **Binder TSL** branch (`compute_survey_if_variance`), the heterogeneity WLS coefficient IF is expanded to observation level via the cell-period allocator `ψ_i = ψ_g * (w_i / W_{g, out_idx})` on the post-period cell — the DID_l post-period single-cell convention shipped in v3.1.x. Under PSU=group the PSU-level Binder TSL variance is byte-identical to the previous release (PSU-level aggregate telescopes to `ψ_g`); under within-group-varying PSU, mass lands in the post-period PSU of the transition. The **Rao-Wu replicate-weight** branch (`compute_replicate_if_variance`) retains the legacy group-level allocator `ψ_i = ψ_g * (w_i / W_g)`: replicate variance computes `θ_r = sum_i ratio_ir * ψ_i` at observation level and is therefore not PSU-telescoping, so the cell-period allocator would silently change the replicate SE whenever a replicate column's ratios vary within group (e.g., per-row replicate matrices). Replicate + heterogeneity fits therefore produce byte-identical SE to the previous release, and the newly-unblocked `heterogeneity=` + within-group-varying PSU combination is unreachable under replicate designs by construction (`SurveyDesign` rejects `replicate_weights` combined with explicit `strata/psu/fpc`). -- **`ChaisemartinDHaultfoeuille.fit(survey_design=..., n_bootstrap > 0)` now supports within-group-varying PSU** — the PSU-level Hall-Mammen wild multiplier bootstrap has been extended from a group-level PSU map (one multiplier per group) to a cell-level PSU map (one multiplier per `(g, t)` cell's PSU). A dispatcher in `_compute_dcdh_bootstrap` detects PSU-within-group-constant regimes (including PSU=group auto-inject and strictly-coarser PSU with within-group constancy) and routes them through the legacy group-level path so the bootstrap SE is bit-identical to the previous release (guarded by the new `test_bootstrap_se_matches_pre_pr4_baseline` and the pre-existing `test_auto_inject_bit_identical_to_group_level`). Under within-group-varying PSU, a group contributing cells to multiple PSUs receives independent multiplier draws per PSU — the correct Hall-Mammen wild PSU clustering at cell granularity. Multi-horizon bootstraps draw a single shared `(n_bootstrap, n_psu)` PSU-level weight matrix per block and broadcast per-horizon via each horizon's cell-to-PSU map, so the sup-t simultaneous confidence band remains a valid joint distribution. Closes the last `NotImplementedError` gate in the dCDH survey contract; replicate-weight variance and `n_bootstrap > 0` remain mutually exclusive by construction. **Scope note:** under survey designs with within-group-varying PSU, panels with *terminal missingness* (groups observed only through an early period) where the terminally-missing group is in a cohort whose other groups still contribute at the missing period now raise a targeted `ValueError` on **both** the cell-level bootstrap and the analytical TSL path.

Terminal missingness is supported at the POINT-ESTIMATE level because the per-period `present = (N_mat[:, t] > 0) & (N_mat[:, t-1] > 0)` guard appears at three sites in the variance computation (`_compute_per_period_dids`, `_compute_full_per_group_contributions`, `_compute_cohort_recentered_inputs`) and cleanly masks out missing transitions without propagating NaN into the arithmetic. **Scope limitation (terminal missingness + within-group-varying PSU):** under survey designs with PSU that varies within group, **both** the cell-level wild PSU bootstrap (`n_bootstrap > 0`) **and** the analytical TSL variance (`n_bootstrap=0`) raise a targeted `ValueError` when cohort-recentering leaks non-zero centered IF mass onto cells with no positive-weight observations.

Terminal missingness is supported at the POINT-ESTIMATE level because the per-period `present = (N_mat[:, t] > 0) & (N_mat[:, t-1] > 0)` guard appears at three sites in the variance computation (`_compute_per_period_dids`, `_compute_full_per_group_contributions`, `_compute_cohort_recentered_inputs`) and cleanly masks out missing transitions without propagating NaN into the arithmetic. **Scope limitation (terminal missingness under any cell-period-allocator path):** under any survey variance path that uses the cell-period allocator, a targeted `ValueError` is raised when cohort-recentering leaks non-zero centered IF mass onto cells with no positive-weight observations. Affected paths: +- **Binder TSL with within-group-varying PSU** (`n_bootstrap=0`, explicit `psu=` that varies within group). +- **Rao-Wu replicate-weight ATT** (`compute_replicate_if_variance` always reads the cell-allocator `psi_obs` per the Class A contract shipped in PR #323, regardless of PSU structure). +- **Cell-level wild PSU bootstrap** (`n_bootstrap > 0` with within-group-varying PSU). + +The guard is fired by `_survey_se_from_group_if` (analytical and replicate) and by `_unroll_target_to_cells` (bootstrap). **Unaffected paths**: Binder TSL under PSU-within-group-constant regimes (including PSU=group auto-inject) falls back to the legacy group-level allocator where the row-sum identity `sum_{c in g} U_centered_per_period[g, t] == U_centered[g]` makes the two statistically equivalent, and the bootstrap dispatcher routes the same regimes through the legacy group-level path. **Workaround:** pre-process the panel to remove terminal missingness (drop late-exit groups or trim to a balanced sub-panel). For Binder TSL, using an explicit `psu=` routes through the legacy group allocator. For replicate ATT and within-group-varying-PSU bootstrap, there is no allocator fallback — the panel itself must be pre-processed. The broader unbalanced-panel workaround (back-fill the baseline or drop late-entry groups before fitting, or use R `DIDmultiplegtDYN`) also applies. The Step 5b `ValueError` and `UserWarning` messages name the offending group IDs so you can locate them quickly. - **Note (Phase 3 DID^X covariate adjustment):** When `controls` is set, `per_period_effects` (the Phase 1 per-period DID_M decomposition) remains **unadjusted** (computed on raw outcomes). The covariate residualization applies only to the per-group `DID_{g,l}` path (`L_max >= 1`), which produces `event_study_effects` and `overall_att`. This means `per_period_effects` and `event_study_effects[1]` may diverge when controls are active - by design (the per-period path uses binary joiner/leaver categorization and is not part of the DID^X contract). Implements the residualization-style covariate adjustment from Web Appendix Section 1.2 (Assumption 11). For each baseline treatment value `d`, estimates `theta_hat_d` via OLS of first-differenced outcomes on first-differenced covariates with time FEs, restricted to not-yet-treated observations. Residualizes at levels: `Y_tilde[g,t] = Y[g,t] - X[g,t] @ theta_hat_d`. All downstream DID computations use residualized outcomes. This is NOT doubly-robust, NOT IPW, NOT Callaway-Sant'Anna-style. Plug-in IF (treating `theta_hat` as fixed) is valid by FWL theorem. **Deviation from R `DIDmultiplegtDYN`:** The first-stage OLS uses equal cell weights (one observation per `(g,t)` cell), consistent with the library's cell-count weighting convention documented in Phase 1. R weights by `N_gt` (observation count per cell). On panels with 1 observation per cell (the common case), results are identical. When baseline-specific first stages fail (`n_obs = 0` or `n_obs < n_params`), the affected strata are excluded from the estimation (outcomes set to NaN) rather than retained unadjusted - matching R's "drop failed strata" behavior. Requires `L_max >= 1`. Activated via `controls=["col1", "col2"]` in `fit()`. @@ -650,7 +655,7 @@ Alternative: Multiplier bootstrap clustered at group via the `n_bootstrap` param - [x] HonestDiD (Rambachan-Roth 2023) integration on placebo + event study surface - [x] Survey design support: pweight with strata/PSU/FPC via Taylor Series Linearization (analytical) **or replicate-weight variance (BRR/Fay/JK1/JKn/SDR)**, covering the main ATT surface, covariate adjustment (DID^X), heterogeneity testing, the TWFE diagnostic (fit and standalone `twowayfeweights()` helper), and HonestDiD bounds. Opt-in **PSU-level Hall-Mammen wild bootstrap** is also supported via `n_bootstrap > 0`. - **Note (Survey IF expansion — library convention):** Survey IF expansion is a library extension not in the dCDH papers (the paper's plug-in variance assumes iid sampling). The library convention builds observation-level `psi_i` by proportionally distributing per-group IF mass within weight share: either at the group level (`psi_i = U_centered[g] * w_i / W_g`, the previous convention) or at the per-`(g, t)` cell level via the cell-period allocator shipped in this release. Cell-level expansion: decompose `U[g]` into per-period attributions `U[g, t]`, cohort-center each column independently, then expand to observation level as `psi_i = U_centered_per_period[g_i, t_i] * (w_i / W_{g_i, t_i})`. Binder (1983) stratified-PSU variance aggregates the resulting `psi` at PSU level. **Post-period attribution convention:** each transition term in the IF sum (of the form `role_weight * (Y_{g, t} - Y_{g, t-1})` for DID_M or `S_g * (Y_{g, out} - Y_{g, ref})` for DID_l) is attributed as a single *difference* to the POST-period cell, not split into a `+Y_post` / `-Y_pre` pair across two cells. This is a library *convention*, not a theorem — adopted because it preserves the group-sum, PSU-sum, and cohort-sum identities of the previous group-level expansion (so Binder variance coincides with the group-level variance under the auto-injected `psu=group`) and because Monte Carlo coverage at nominal 95% is empirically close to nominal on a DGP where PSUs vary across the cells of each group (see `tests/test_dcdh_cell_period_coverage.py`). A covariance-aware two-cell allocator is a plausible alternative and may be worth exploring if future designs motivate an explicit observation-level IF derivation; the method currently in the library is **not derived from the observation-level survey linearization of the contrast** and makes no stronger claim than "coverage is approximately nominal under the tested DGPs and the group-sum identity holds exactly." Under within-group-constant PSU (the pre-allocator accepted input), per-cell sums telescope to `U_centered[g]` and Binder variance is byte-identical (up to single-ULP floating-point noise) to the previous group-level expansion. **Strata and PSU must be constant within each `(g, t)` cell** (trivially satisfied in one-obs-per-cell panels — the canonical dCDH structure); variation **across cells of a group** is supported by the allocator. Within-group-varying **weights** are supported as before. When `survey_design.psu` is not specified, `fit()` auto-injects `psu=` so the TSL variance, `df_survey`, and t-based inference match the per-group PSU structure. **Strata that vary across cells of a group require either an explicit `psu=` or the original `SurveyDesign(..., nest=True)` flag** — under `nest=True` the resolver combines `(stratum, psu)` into globally-unique labels, so the auto-injected `psu=` is re-labeled per stratum and the cell allocator proceeds. Only the `nest=False` + varying-strata + omitted-psu combination is rejected up front with a targeted `ValueError` at `fit()` time (the synthesized PSU column would reuse group labels across strata and trip the cross-stratum PSU uniqueness check in `SurveyDesign.resolve()`). Under replicate-weight designs, the same cell-level `psi_i` is aggregated via Rao-Wu weight-ratio rescaling (`compute_replicate_if_variance` at `diff_diff/survey.py:1681`) rather than the Binder TSL formula. All five methods (BRR/Fay/JK1/JKn/SDR) are supported method-agnostically through the unified helper; the effective `df_survey` is reduced to `min(n_valid) - 1` across IF sites when some replicate solves fail (matching `efficient_did.py:1133-1135` and `triple_diff.py:676-686` precedents). Under DID^X, the first-stage residualization coefficient `theta_hat` is computed once on full-sample weights and treated as fixed (FWL plug-in IF convention) — per-replicate refits of `theta_hat` are not performed. **Post-period attribution extends to heterogeneity (Binder TSL branch only):** the heterogeneity WLS coefficient IF `ψ_g = inv(X'WX)[1,:] @ x_g * W_g * r_g` is attributed in full to the single post-period cell `(g, out_idx)` at each horizon (same single-cell convention as DID_l), then expanded as `ψ_i = ψ_g * (w_i / W_{g, out_idx})`, and fed through `compute_survey_if_variance`. Under PSU=group the PSU-level aggregate telescopes to `ψ_g`, so Binder variance is byte-identical relative to the pre-cell-period release; under within-group-varying PSU mass lands in the post-period PSU. **Replicate-weight branch keeps the legacy group-level allocator** `ψ_i = ψ_g * (w_i / W_g)` because `compute_replicate_if_variance` computes `θ_r = sum_i ratio_ir * ψ_i` at observation level and is therefore not PSU-telescoping: redistributing mass onto the post-period cell would silently change the replicate SE whenever a replicate column's ratios vary within a group (the library accepts arbitrary per-row replicate matrices, not just PSU-aligned ones). The legacy allocator preserves byte-identity of the replicate SE for every previously-supported fit. Replicate + within-group-varying PSU is unreachable by construction (`SurveyDesign` rejects `replicate_weights` combined with explicit `strata/psu/fpc`). -- **Note (survey + bootstrap contract):** When `survey_design` and `n_bootstrap > 0` are both active, the bootstrap uses Hall-Mammen wild multiplier weights (Rademacher/Mammen/Webb) **at the PSU level**. Under the default auto-injected `psu=group`, the PSU coincides with the group so the wild bootstrap is a clean group-level clustered bootstrap (identity-map fast path, bit-identical to the non-survey multiplier bootstrap). When the user passes an explicit strictly-coarser PSU (e.g., `psu=state` with groups at county level), the IF contributions of all groups within a PSU receive the same bootstrap multiplier — the standard Hall-Mammen wild PSU bootstrap. Strata do not participate in the bootstrap randomization (they contribute only through the analytical TSL variance); this is conservative when strata differ substantially in variance. A `UserWarning` fires only when PSU is strictly coarser than group. **Cell-level wild PSU bootstrap under within-group-varying PSU:** when the PSU varies across the cells of a group, the bootstrap switches to a cell-level allocator: each `(g, t)` cell draws its multiplier from `w[psu(cell)]` via the per-cell PSU map `psu_codes_per_cell` (shape `(n_eligible_groups, n_periods)`, -1 sentinel for zero-weight cells). The bootstrap statistic becomes `theta_r = sum_c w[psu(c)] * u_centered_pp[c] / divisor` using the cohort-recentered per-cell IF `U_centered_per_period`. Under PSU-within-group-constant regimes (including PSU=group and strictly-coarser PSU with within-group constancy), the per-cell sum telescopes to the group-level form via the row-sum identity `sum_{c in g} U_centered_per_period[g, t] == U_centered[g]` (enforced by `_cohort_recenter_per_period`). A dispatcher in `_compute_dcdh_bootstrap` detects within-group-constancy and routes those regimes through the legacy group-level bootstrap path so their SE is **bit-identical** to the pre-cell-level release (guarded primarily by `test_bootstrap_se_matches_pre_pr4_baseline` and by the existing `test_auto_inject_bit_identical_to_group_level`). Under within-group-varying PSU, a group contributing cells to PSUs `p1, p2, ...` receives independent multiplier draws per PSU — the correct Hall-Mammen wild PSU clustering at cell granularity. **Multi-horizon bootstraps** draw a single shared `(n_bootstrap, n_psu)` PSU-level weight matrix per block and broadcast per-horizon via each horizon's cell-to-PSU map, so the sup-t simultaneous confidence band remains a valid joint distribution across horizons. **Library extension** — R `DIDmultiplegtDYN` does not support survey designs, so "deviation from R" does not apply. **Scope note (terminal missingness + within-group-varying PSU):** see the balanced-baseline Note above for the full carve-out. In brief: when a terminally-missing group is in a cohort whose other groups still contribute at the missing period, `_cohort_recenter_per_period` leaks non-zero centered IF mass onto cells with no positive-weight observations. **Both** paths using the cell-period allocator — the analytical TSL path (`_survey_se_from_group_if`) and the cell-level wild PSU bootstrap (`_unroll_target_to_cells`) — raise a targeted `ValueError` rather than silently under-clustering. The workaround is to pre-process the panel (remove terminal missingness) or use an explicit `psu=` so the dispatcher routes through the legacy group-level path. PSU-within-group-constant regimes are unaffected. **Replicate-weight designs and `n_bootstrap > 0` are mutually exclusive** (replicate variance is closed-form; bootstrap would double-count variance) — the combination raises `NotImplementedError`, matching `efficient_did.py:989`, `staggered.py:1869`, `two_stage.py:251-253`. For HonestDiD bounds under replicate weights, the replicate-effective `df_survey = min(resolved_survey.df_survey, min(n_valid_across_sites) - 1)` propagates to t-critical values — capped by the design's QR-rank-based df so a rank-deficient replicate matrix never produces a larger effective df than the design supports. When `resolved_survey.df_survey` is undefined (QR-rank ≤ 1), the effective df stays `None` and all inference fields (including HonestDiD bounds) are NaN — per-site `n_valid` cannot rescue a rank-deficient design. +- **Note (survey + bootstrap contract):** When `survey_design` and `n_bootstrap > 0` are both active, the bootstrap uses Hall-Mammen wild multiplier weights (Rademacher/Mammen/Webb) **at the PSU level**.

The bootstrap statistic becomes `theta_r = sum_c w[psu(c)] * u_centered_pp[c] / divisor` using the cohort-recentered per-cell IF `U_centered_per_period`.

Addressing the two remaining P2/P3s with concrete fixes. **P2 (tests/docs): replicate ATT terminal-missingness failure mode lacked an end-to-end regression.** The round-8 docs extended the carve-out to replicate ATT, but no fit()-level test asserted it. Added `TestReplicateClassA::test_att_raises_on_terminal_missingness_replicate_path`: fixture has a terminally-missing joiner group in a cohort whose surviving peers serve as stable_1 controls at the missing period (leaking non-zero centered IF mass onto the missing cells). With SDR replicate weights and per-row-varying ratios, the fit must raise the documented `ValueError` from `_survey_se_from_group_if`'s sentinel-mass guard. **P3 (maintainability): `_compute_dcdh_bootstrap` docstring was stale.** The docstring still described 3-tuple inputs and a purely per-group weight-matrix flow, even though PR 4 changed every per-target input to a 4-tuple and added the cell-level dispatch path.
