Clamp min_earned to non-negative in hi_cdcc.py to prevent negative self-employment income from producing a negative credit. Also fix missing commas in reference tuples for hi_cdcc_min_head_spouse_earned and hi_cdcc_income_floor_eligible. Closes #7409 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
