[Bug]: incorrect equil SSB when using SRR fxn = 7 #748

Issue description

a user reported incorrect calculation of equilibrium SSB when using the survivorship SRR (7).
They found that fishing at F < FMSY during the time series was reducing SSB below BMSY.
This implies an inconsistency between the equilibrium and time series calculations for SRR(7).
Another observation is in the SPR/YPR profile where SSB appeared to decline linearly with increasing F.

whereas switching to Bev-Holt fxn = 3 produces the expected curvilinear shape

Summary of issue history, discussion, and major aspects of code development

This may be a very old issue. See early concerns about parameter ranges in #25
and associated spreadsheet.

This issue does not seem related to the large refactoring of the spawner-recruitment code in summer 2025.
