Some DfE supporting-files CSVs have a UTF-8 BOM on the first column,
causing it to be named '\ufefftime_period' instead of 'time_period'.
This trips Singer schema validation ('time_period' is a required property).
Strip the BOM from all column names after read_csv.

DfE supporting-files CSVs (spc_school_level_underlying_data, AppsandOffers
SchoolLevel) are Latin-1 encoded. Add _encoding class attribute to base
stream class and override to 'latin-1' for census and admissions streams.

Pipeline:
- EES tap: split KS4 into performance + info streams, fix admissions filename
(SchoolLevel keyword match), fix census filename (yearly suffix), remove
phonics (no school-level data on EES), change endswith → in for matching
- stg_ees_ks4: rewrite to filter long-format data and extract Attainment 8,
Progress 8, EBacc, English/Maths metrics; join KS4 info for context
- stg_ees_admissions: map real CSV columns (total_number_places_offered, etc.)
- stg_ees_census: update source reference, stub with TODO for data columns
- Remove stg_ees_phonics, fact_phonics (no school-level EES data)
- Add ees_ks4_performance + ees_ks4_info sources, remove ees_ks4 + ees_phonics
- Update int_ks4_with_lineage + fact_ks4_performance with new KS4 columns
- Annual EES DAG: remove stg_ees_phonics+ from selector
Backend:
- models.py: replace all models to point at marts.* tables with schema='marts'
(DimSchool, DimLocation, KS2Performance, FactOfstedInspection, etc.)
- data_loader.py: rewrite load_school_data_as_dataframe() using raw SQL joining
dim_school + dim_location + fact_ks2_performance; update get_supplementary_data()
- database.py: remove migration machinery, keep only connection setup
- app.py: remove check_and_migrate_if_needed, remove /api/admin/reimport-ks2
endpoints (pipeline handles all imports)

- Fix publication slugs (KS4, Phonics, Admissions were wrong)
- Split KS2 into two streams: ees_ks2_attainment (long format) and
ees_ks2_info (wide format context data)
- Target specific filenames instead of keyword matching
- Handle school_urn vs urn column naming
- Pivot KS2 attainment from long to wide format in dbt staging
- Add all ~40 KS2 columns the backend needs (GPS, absence, gender,
disadvantaged breakdowns, context demographics)
- Pass through all columns in int_ks2_with_lineage and fact_ks2

- Declare all 34 columns needed by dbt in GIAS tap schema (target-postgres
only persists columns present in the Singer schema message)
- Use nullif() for empty-string-to-integer/date casts in staging models
- Scope daily DAG dbt build to GIAS models only (stg_gias_establishments+
stg_gias_links+) to avoid errors on unloaded sources
- Scope annual EES DAG similarly; remove redundant dbt test steps
- Make dim_school gracefully handle missing int_ofsted_latest table

CSV is read with dtype=str so all values arrive as strings. Declaring
LA (code) and EstablishmentNumber as IntegerType caused schema
validation failures in target-postgres. Use StringType for all columns
except URN (which is explicitly cast to int for the primary key).
Type casting happens in dbt staging models.

Port critical patterns from the working integrator into Singer taps:
- GIAS: add 404 fallback to yesterday's date, increase timeout to 300s,
use latin-1 encoding, use dated URL for links (static URL returns 500)
- FBIT: add GIAS date fallback, increase timeout, fix encoding to latin-1
- IDACI: use dated GIAS URL with fallback instead of undated static URL,
fix encoding to latin-1, increase timeout to 300s
- Ofsted: try utf-8-sig then fall back to latin-1 encoding

Port extraction logic from integrator scripts into Singer SDK taps:
- tap-uk-parent-view: scrapes Ofsted open data portal, parses survey responses (14 questions)
- tap-uk-fbit: queries FBIT API per-URN with rate limiting, computes per-pupil spend
- tap-uk-idaci: downloads IoD2019 XLSX, batch-resolves postcodes→LSOAs via postcodes.io
Update dbt models to match actual tap output schemas:
- stg_idaci now includes URN (tap does the postcode→LSOA→school join)
- stg_parent_view expanded from 8 to 13 question columns
- fact_deprivation simplified (no longer needs postcode→LSOA join in dbt)
- fact_parent_view expanded to include all 13 question metrics
