(2) COVID swings 2020-03..2021-12 (gdp_yoy −16.2 to +18.5) — excluded from model training (pre-specified, not tuned on test errors).11Information availability: the file contains data beyond what is available at each origin (current vintage, all months). Handling: the script slices per origin (gdp ≤ t−2, emp ≤ t−1, training targets ≤ t−2); verified by a perturbation test. Vintage issue (revised data) cannot be fixed: reported as limitation, no real-time validity claimed.12
