Layer filenames and CSV data

data_file is resolved beside the design file and must be a bare filename.

schema_version: 1
layers:
  - name: Inflation-target adjustment
    data_file: inflation_target.csv
    event_year: 2026

For an experiment design in simulations/policy/design.yaml, G-Cubed reads simulations/policy/inflation_target.csv.

The layer file remains CSV. Its first column is name; later columns are projection years:

name,2023,2024,2025,2026,2027
INFX(USA),0,0,0,1,1

Invalid filename

data_file: ../shared/inflation_target.csv

Directory components, absolute paths, URLs and traversal are invalid. Copy or generate the layer beside its design and use only its filename.

See generated simulation layers for a reproducible way to create standard layer CSV files.
