Models universal free breakfast and lunch policies in nine states (CA, CO, MA, ME, MI, MN, NM, NY, VT) with the correct effective school year per state. Households in these states receive the free tier regardless of income once the policy takes effect. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

- Correct New Mexico reference to SB 4 (not HB 4); link to the governor's signing announcement for a stable primary source. - List all nine state universal meals implementations under the school_meals entry in programs.yaml, per the state_implementations convention. - Add reduced_price_school_meals: 0 assertion to the California integration test to lock in that universal-state households do not fall into the reduced tier. Illinois is deliberately excluded: HB2471 / PA 103-0532 (2023) passed but the required $209M appropriation has not been enacted in FY24, FY25, or FY26 budgets, so no students are actually receiving meals under it.

Summary
state_universal_free_mealsparameter (boolean per state, dated) for the nine states that have enacted universal free breakfast and lunch for all public school students: CA, CO, MA, ME, MI, MN, NM, NY, VT.state_has_universal_free_school_mealsvariable looks up the parameter by household state.school_meal_tiernow also assigns FREE when the state has a universal program active for the period.Why
Benchmark diagnostics showed frontier LLMs correctly citing state universal-meals laws (e.g., MA, MN) and getting marked wrong because PE-US did not model them. This closes that gap.
