Adds detailed coverage of the federal/state tax SALT cycle (6 states with federal tax deductions + withheld tax simplification), plus a comprehensive table of 12 cycle-breaking workarounds categorized into three techniques: pre-subsidy substitution, simplified parallel variables, and simulation branches.

- Rewrite childcare section: "The childcare cycle that wasn't" — explains the CO CCAP placeholder was the root cause, not a real policy interaction - Remove false entries from cycles table (SNAP↔childcare, SNAP↔electricity, 23-state TANF↔childcare) - Fix MT itemization description - Update implications section with lesson about auditing statutory requirements vs code - Remove Childcare tab from interactive diagram (now Housing + SALT only) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
