Closes #102.

The header's vintage-elimination trail understated the PWT 6.3 overlap: it said 6.3 "matches Argentina and Australia POP but nothing else", where the re-measurement (same archive, member sha256 f9609c42…, year 2000, exact float equality, python 3.12.13 / pandas 2.2.3 / xlrd 2.0.2) finds four of eight POP values (ARG, AUS, ISR, ZAF) and four of eight XRAT values matching exactly, with no cc or cg value and no tcgdp column. The overlap is exactly the hint a future vintage hunt would follow, which is why the precision matters even though the conclusion doesn't move.

The adjacent 6.2/6.1 sentence gets the same treatment from the same measurement: "match nothing" becomes "match no POP, cc or cg value (XRAT agrees only on ARG+USA in 6.2 and USA in 6.1)".

The central negative claim stands as written — the committed values match no downloadable PWT vintage — and all four archive hashes in the header were re-derived and confirmed. Comment-only change: the parsed record is untouched, CATALOG.md regenerates with an empty diff, and YAML parses under both PyYAML and Psych.

Found during the #100 validation (per-item report there, section 4.2).

… XRAT values, not two

The header's vintage-elimination trail said PWT 6.3 "matches Argentina
and Australia POP but nothing else". Re-measured against the same
archive (member sha256 f9609c42…), year 2000, exact float equality:
6.3 matches four of eight POP values (ARG, AUS, ISR, ZAF) and four of
eight XRAT values, with no cc or cg value and no tcgdp column. The
overlap is the hint any future vintage hunt would follow, so
understating it is what this corrects. The adjacent 6.2/6.1 "match
nothing" gets the same treatment from the same measurement: no POP, cc
or cg value, with XRAT agreeing only on ARG+USA (6.2) and USA (6.1).

The central conclusion stands as written — the committed values match
no downloadable PWT vintage — and the four archive hashes were all
re-derived and confirmed. Comment-only change: the parsed record,
CATALOG.md and the strict audit are untouched.

Found during the #100 validation.

Pull request overview

Updates the provenance/vintage-elimination header comment in lectures/test_pwt.csv.yml to accurately record the measured overlap between the committed test_pwt.csv values and PWT 6.3/6.2/6.1 archives, without changing any parsed manifest fields or dataset bytes.

Changes:

  • Refines the PWT 6.3 overlap statement from “two POP matches only” to “four POP + four XRAT exact matches, no cc/cg matches, no tcgdp column”.
  • Refines the PWT 6.2/6.1 statement from “match nothing” to “no POP/cc/cg matches; limited XRAT agreement (ARG+USA in 6.2, USA in 6.1)”.

Copilot review: the trailing 'exactly' could read as qualifying only
XRAT, and the XRAT matches were not enumerated the way the POP ones
are. The qualifier moves to the front of the pair, and the four 6.3
XRAT matches (ARG, MWI, USA, URY) are now recorded parallel to POP.
