Address PR #363 R7 review (1 P0)
R7 P0 (sup-t under-scaling on weights= shortcut): the per-unit IF returned by _fit_continuous / _fit_mass_point_2sls is HC1-scaled per the PR #359 convention — compute_survey_if_variance(psi, trivial_resolved) ≈ V_HC1. Routing the weights= shortcut through the unit-level ``resolved_survey=None`` branch of _sup_t_multiplier_bootstrap normalized against raw sum(psi²) = ((n-1)/n) · V_HC1, producing silently too-narrow simultaneous bands. Fix: when the weighted event-study + cband=True path runs, always route the sup-t bootstrap through a ResolvedSurveyDesign. On the weights= shortcut (no user-supplied survey), construct a synthetic trivial resolved (pweight, no strata/psu/fpc, lonely_psu='remove') so the centered + sqrt(n/(n-1))-corrected survey-aware branch fires. The no-strata/no-PSU path inside that branch falls through to the "single implicit stratum — demean across all PSUs, scale by sqrt(n_psu/(n_psu-1))" block, which gives Var_xi(xi @ Psi_psu) ≈ V_HC1 as the IF scale convention requires. Net effect: weights= shortcut and survey=SurveyDesign(weights=...) now target the SAME variance family in the bootstrap (~atol=0.05 between the two quantiles at matching seeds, bounded by the bc_fit.se_robust vs Binder-TSL per-horizon SE convergence tolerance from PR #359). Previously the shortcut was under-scaled by sqrt(n/(n-1)) relative to the analytical HC1 target. Regression tests (+2): - test_weights_shortcut_mass_point_h1_cband_matches_normal: helper- level H=1 lock with mass-point HC1-scaled IF + synthetic trivial resolved. q → Phi^-1(0.975) ≈ 1.96 at atol=0.15 (MC noise at B=5000). The pre-fix under-scaling would have produced q ≈ 1.94 (systematic drift outside MC noise). - test_weights_shortcut_cband_matches_trivial_survey: weights= shortcut and survey=SurveyDesign(weights='w') event-study cband quantiles agree within atol=0.05 on the same DGP / seed.
