Latest summary
Reviewed SI cycle-1 population bundle and wrote reviewer report at /home/synthestat/workspace/manager_handoffs/reviewer/2026-05-19_164820Z_SI_population_review_cycle1.md. Verdict NEEDS_MODEL_FIX: files are present/readable and HARD/FIRM residuals pass, but provenance metadata is incomplete, dwelling occupancy backrefs are inconsistent, and evidence-depth/status metadata needs normalization before approval; source gaps remain for live SI sources, hidden layers, assignments, and low-confidence GUIDE distributions.
Body
Review the Slovenia (SI) population synthesis QA cycle 1 bundle produced by synth-modeler task t_eeef9809.
Project root: /home/synthestat
Country: SI
Release mode: internal research review
Bundle contract: /home/synthestat/docs/contracts/population_review_bundle.md
Parent orchestration task: t_4c5698ab
Review requirements:
- Locate the modeler handoff and output bundle from task t_eeef9809.
- Validate that the bundle is contract-complete: all required files or explicit unavailable.json reasons exist.
- Check build_manifest minimum fields: country, run_id, created_at, project_root, git_commit/dirty marker, random_seed, source_catalogue/geography/crosswalk versions, constraints_used, constraints_relaxed with reasons/residuals/tolerances, zones_degraded, hidden_population_scope, assignment_scope, known_limitations.
- Check constraint precedence: HARD exact, FIRM/SOFT tolerances declared, GUIDE/INFORMATIONAL not overclaimed.
- Check uncertainty/provenance: every modelled estimate has uncertainty, source_provenance has source IDs/retrieval timestamps/reference periods/geography levels/quality flags where available, missing evidence is explicit.
- Check hidden-population overlays: homelessness, refugees/asylum seekers, Ukrainian displaced people, Syrian refugees, undocumented/seasonal populations, students, institutional populations are included only when evidence supports them, otherwise unavailable/degraded with wider uncertainty and no silent rewrite of de jure constraints.
- Check geography and assignment realism claims: fine-geography sparse dimensions such as occupation/industry/work-school assignments must be flagged model-driven unless measured.

Definition of done:
- Complete with a concise reviewer summary and machine-readable metadata including verdict, bundle_path, run_id if known, blocking_findings, nonblocking_findings, residual_status, missing_or_degraded_layers, recommended_next_branch, and whether this failure is materially similar to any prior SI cycle (should be false for cycle 1 unless evidence says otherwise).
- Do not fix/model/research/download yourself; this is review and routing evidence only.
