What (One-liner)

Canvas macro atomic node: fetches FRED series → MFLE aggregates into current regime + cycle phase + output gap. The source of macro context for every Canvas graph.

How to use

macro_factor_v1 (FEDFUNDS) → bull_agent_v1 (reads regime=expansion)
macro_factor_v1 → casa_strategy_v1 + contagion_sim_v1

Core formulas

See frontmatter. Aggregates FRED multi-series (CPI/UNRATE/FEDFUNDS/GDPC1 etc.) → 5-bucket regime + cycle phase.

Assumptions & applicability

Assumptions: FRED is available + US economy + monthly floor + PoC MFLE.

Applies to: upstream for macro-regime-driven strategy graphs on the Canvas.

Does not apply to: intraday, non-US, raw-series visualization, full MFLE (use tvp_kfavar_regime).

Known limitations

See frontmatter. Six items: US-only / monthly floor / PoC MFLE / symbol display-only / FRED quota / release lag.

Golden Test

N/A — data-fetch + aggregation node; the algorithm rigor is covered by tvp_kfavar_regime.
