Deterministic series selection by facets
The series matching a facet selection - the same set every time, no text-match luck. Combine exact tags (tags=bis;france) with validated named facets: geo=, source=, frequency=, seasonality=, concept= (a value in the wrong facet is refused with the right one named). q= keeps a free-text constraint: the same q you faceted with on /api/v1/macro/facets, so counts seen there stay true here. exclude= removes tags; /api/v1/macro/facets shows what exists. Fetch any returned series from /api/v1/fred/series/{series_id}. TITLES ARE NOT UNIQUE - read units before choosing between identically titled series. Page with the returned next_offset, never your own arithmetic: later waves may annotate and filter rows, and next_offset is the upstream continuation point that stays correct.

Filter by measure: index, level, money, money_saar, rate_pct, spread_pct, count, growth_pct, share_pct, ratio, price. Every row carries measure regardless; rows dropped by this filter are counted in filtered_out_by_measure. ambiguous and unclassified are visible values a concrete filter excludes.
