Pipeline notesIngested 7 Jul 2026: une_rt_a NL cells actually start 2009 (not 1983/2003 as earlier claimed — those were dimension spans). Pre-2009 candidates: CBS 37948 (registered unemployment monthly 1952–2010, closed) — registered ≠ ILO survey definition, so chart as separate labelled segments, never one line.
