Self-Employment Tax rules implementation checklist

[Numeros-pro]

Implementation checklist:

• self-employment-tax.json published from main/root
• SSA wage-base updater added with official IRS Publication 505 fallback when SSA blocks automated requests
• 26 U.S.C. §§1401/1402 operative-text law guard added
• IRS core markers + explicit Additional Medicare thresholds validated
• weekly workflow added
• first automatic rules workflow run succeeds
• GitHub Pages build succeeds after feed/workflow commits
• live JSON rechecked after successful rules workflow run
• non-null law baseline signature recorded
• Numeros calculator uses Pages -> raw GitHub -> embedded fallback
• law review-required pauses calculation instead of guessing

Verified run: Update Self-Employment Tax rules #2 completed successfully on 2026-08-15. Current feed: 92.35% factor, $400 threshold, 12.4% Social Security, 2.9% Medicare, $184,500 Social Security wage base, 0.9% Additional Medicare Tax, current law signature recorded. The GitHub runner received HTTP 403 from SSA, so the updater correctly verified the current annual wage base through official IRS Publication 505 instead.
