Adds a $5,000 payment to citizens aged 18 and older, gated by gov.contrib.trump.dividend.in_effect (inert in baseline). Amount, minimum age, and eligible immigration statuses are parameterized. Flows into spm_unit_benefits and household_benefits like basic_income. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01LqCGPgxDukji8Bhs57c5rH

…ter description - Fix stray comma in in_effect parameter description - Add tests: undocumented and refugee adults, infant citizen, adult citizen dependent, SPM-unit/household benefits aggregation totals, AGI non-taxability, and baseline-off aggregate inertness Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_016aAzQ2DZmw9BX4GpzU7UKP
Marks the four parameters as hypothetical with no official source, documents the intentional non-taxable / non-countable-income design on the payment variable, asserts AGI neutrality in the reform-off case, and adds an explicit-citizen positive test.

Summary
Adds a contributed reform modeling a "Trump dividend": a $5,000 payment to each citizen aged 18 and older. Inert in baseline — activated by setting
gov.contrib.trump.dividend.in_effectto true (e.g., for tax year 2027).Why a new reform instead of adjusting existing parameters
non_jointparameter, so a $5,000 setting would also pay every CTC-qualifying child. Includes LPRs and misses adult dependents.Design decisions
basic_income's default treatment; ataxabletoggle can be added later if needed.basic_incomeprecedent.immigration_statusdefaults to CITIZEN in the microdata, so population runs treat nearly all adults as eligible, overstating cost by roughly the non-citizen adult share.Implementation
