…beled HR1 parameter - Add documentation to meets_snap_abawd_work_requirements explaining the 3-in-36 steady-state simplification of the 7 CFR 273.24(b) time limit, including regaining provisions and the FY2026 HR1 clock restart. - Add documentation to meets_snap_general_work_requirements noting that voluntary quit / reduced work effort (7 CFR 273.7(j)) is not modeled. - Add comments noting the annual-average-hours proxy for monthly work hour determinations and the annual UC receipt simplification. - Rewrite gov/usda/snap/work_requirements/abawd/in_effect description and label: it gates all HR1 ABAWD changes, not only the homeless and veteran exemption removals. No behavior changes. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Changes
meets_snap_abawd_work_requirements.py): adds adocumentationattribute explaining that 7 CFR 273.24(b) disqualifies an ABAWD only after 3 countable months in 36, with regaining provisions (80 hours in 30 days, 273.24(d)) and one bonus 3-consecutive-month allotment (273.24(e)). The model treats noncompliance as immediate monthly ineligibility — a steady-state assumption that overstates ineligibility for new spells, largest in FY2026 as HR1 restarts time-limit clocks.meets_snap_general_work_requirements.py): adds adocumentationattribute noting that 7 CFR 273.7(j) disqualifications are not modeled, since job-separation events are unobservable in cross-sectional survey data.gov/usda/snap/work_requirements/abawd/in_effect.yaml): the description and label said it "removes the exemption ... for homeless individuals or veterans," but it gates all HR1 ABAWD changes (higher exempted age threshold, lower dependent-child age threshold, exemption removals and additions). Rewritten accurately; references kept.weekly_hours_worked_before_lsris read overperiod.this_year, noting the annual-average proxy for what is legally a monthly determination (20 hrs/week averaged monthly / 80 hrs/month per 7 CFR 273.24(a)(1); 30 hrs/week per 273.7(b)(1)(vii)).is_snap_work_registration_exempt_non_age.py): comment noting that annual unemployment compensation receipt exempting all months of the year is a simplification.The optional parameterized grace-months fraction from the issue is deliberately excluded to keep this PR docs-only; it can follow in a separate PR if wanted.
