content: add NZ PAYE non-notified rate and 1737 crisis-line canons - #166
Merged
Conversation
New Zealand previously had only 4 of 12 country-scoped domains covered (culture, disaster, emergency, visa) - the most underserved supported country. Adds: - banking/no-ird-number-high-withholding-tax/nz - IRD's 45% "no notification" RWT/PAYE default rate applied when no IRD number is on file, far above the top 39% personal tax rate - medical/no-fault-acc-bars-injury-lawsuit/nz - Accident Compensation Act 2001 s317 bars personal-injury lawsuits for residents and visitors alike; ACC only partially covers treatment, so travel insurance is still needed - mental-health/crisis-line-not-emergency-dispatch/nz - 1737 (Need to Talk) is explicitly not a crisis team and cannot dispatch responders; 111 or the regional Crisis Assessment Team (via Healthline) is needed for emergencies - legal/undeclared-risk-goods-instant-fine/nz - MPI requires declaring all food/biosecurity risk goods regardless of packaging; failing to declare (even by accident) triggers an instant NZD 400 fine Sources: ird.govt.nz, legislation.govt.nz, acc.co.nz, newzealand.com (Tourism NZ), 1737.org.nz, mentalhealth.org.nz, lifeline.org.nz, mpi.govt.nz, nzherald.co.nz. Also re-verifies the 3 oldest-dated canons (last_confirmed 2026-02-01, the earliest bulk-generation cohort) as part of the ongoing rolling re-verification to avoid a staleness wall as the Feb 2026 batch crosses 365 days: - docker/compose-depends-on-unhealthy/docker27-linux - sources still current, content unchanged, last_confirmed refreshed - nextjs/async-params-nextjs15/next15-linux - content still accurate; two cited nextjs.org URLs had moved to new canonical paths (building-your-application/upgrading/* -> guides/upgrading/*, rendering/server-components -> getting-started/server-and-client-components) after a docs reorg, updated to match - node/err-unsupported-esm-url-scheme/node20-linux - content correction: import.meta.dirname/filename was claimed to require Node 21.2+ only, but Node's own docs show it was backported to 20.11.0 and is available in the 20.x LTS line, not just 21.2+/22+ Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Sb6PNYuUUqFTvxMeUEPa5W

… PAYE main (#173) landed New Zealand coverage for biosecurity declarations, the ACC lawsuit bar, and RWT non-declaration, and re-verified the same three code canons this branch had refreshed. - Dropped legal/undeclared-risk-goods-instant-fine/nz: main's food-safety/undeclared-biosecurity-goods/nz covers it. - Dropped medical/no-fault-acc-bars-injury-lawsuit/nz: main's legal/acc-bars-personal-injury-lawsuit/nz covers it. - Re-scoped banking/no-ird-number-high-withholding-tax/nz to banking/no-ird-number-paye-non-notified-rate/nz. main's banking/rwt-non-declaration-rate/nz already documents the 45% RWT on bank interest, but nothing covered the employment side: the IR330 non-notified PAYE rate of 45c in the dollar plus the ACC earner's levy. The canon now carries only that, cross-linked to the RWT one so the two payers are not conflated. - Took main's version of the three re-verified code canons. main already carries this branch's Node 20.11.0 backport correction for import.meta.dirname, in a slightly fuller form. Remaining new canons: the PAYE non-notified rate above, and 1737 (Need to Talk) being a counselling line that cannot dispatch responders.

Four PRs (#165, #166, #168, #172) sat unmergeable at once with green CI, blocked by the content workflow itself in three ways. 1. Every cycle re-verified "the canons with the oldest last_confirmed", a deterministic rule, so parallel cycles picked the same files and all but the first to merge conflicted on the date fields they came to refresh. generator.reverify now assigns each cycle a bucket fixed by hashing the canon ID - not by position in the aging list, which would shift its boundaries whenever a merge aged canons in or refreshed them and let two cycles land on overlapping-but-unequal slices. Two seeds now own the same bucket or share nothing; a partial overlap cannot occur. It also excludes canons other pushed branches touch, and reports when that scan could not read every branch rather than passing an unchecked scan off as clean. 2. Nothing said to check open PRs before picking a target, so three sessions each chose New Zealand off the same view of main. Step 2 now claims a target against the open PR list first. 3. The duplicate check grepped for an identical slug, while every duplicate that shipped used a different slug for the same dead end. The check is now by topic, and partial overlap gets narrowed and cross-linked or folded into the existing canon. Also documents the re-verification contract: re-read every source before bumping any date.

What this adds
Two New Zealand canons:
banking/no-ird-number-paye-non-notified-rate/nz— a NZ employer must deduct PAYE at the non-notified rate of 45c in the dollar plus the ACC earner's levy from any employee who has not handed in a completed IR330 tax code declaration with an IRD number. That is above the 39% top personal rate and applies regardless of how little the employee earns, so starting work before the IRD number arrives costs close to half of each pay. Over-deduction comes back at the end-of-year assessment, not when the number is finally supplied — so the money is tied up for months.mental-health/crisis-line-not-emergency-dispatch/nz— 1737 (Need to Talk) is free and 24/7, but its own service description says it "is not a crisis team" and it cannot dispatch responders. Immediate danger needs 111; an in-person mental health crisis response comes from the regional Crisis Assessment Team, reachable via Healthline 0800 611 116.Sources:
ird.govt.nz(RWT rate page, IR330 form, new-arrival IRD number application, end-of-year assessment),1737.org.nz,mentalhealth.org.nz,lifeline.org.nz.Rebased onto main — what changed since the original version
This branch was opened before #173 merged and was six commits behind. Reconciling:
banking/rwt-non-declaration-rate/nz, which covers the interest side — but nothing covered the employment side, which is a distinct payer under a distinct rule (IR330 rather than the bank's RWT election). The canon now carries only the PAYE half, renamed tobanking/no-ird-number-paye-non-notified-rate/nzand cross-linked to the RWT canon so the two payers are not conflated. Giving your IRD number to the bank does not give it to your employer.legal/undeclared-risk-goods-instant-fine/nz— covered by content: add 4 New Zealand country canons, re-verify 3 aging code canons #173'sfood-safety/undeclared-biosecurity-goods/nz.medical/no-fault-acc-bars-injury-lawsuit/nz— covered by content: add 4 New Zealand country canons, re-verify 3 aging code canons #173'slegal/acc-bars-personal-injury-lawsuit/nz.docker/compose-depends-on-unhealthy,nextjs/async-params-nextjs15, andnode/err-unsupported-esm-url-scheme. Nothing is lost: this branch's genuine finding — thatimport.meta.dirnamewas backported into the 20.x LTS line at 20.11.0, not introduced only at 21.2.0 — is already on main in a slightly fuller form, and main has the moved Next.js doc URLs too.Checks
