-only accepts commits that passed the staging E2E gate. Nothing tags `:latest`

 ## Branch & PR workflow

 - All work (human or AI) happens on feature branches → PR to `main`.

-# Compare-Screen Data Foundation (Pipeline PR) Implementation Plan
-
-> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
-
-**Goal:** Land every pipeline/dbt change the compare-screen redesign needs (spec §5 + §8 of `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-07-11-compare-screen-redesign-design.md`): promote raw-but-unstored fields to marts, close the national-averages gaps, and wire the Ofsted report-card columns.
-
-**Architecture:** Meltano Singer taps load `raw.*` tables; dbt builds `staging` → `marts` (read-only for the backend). All changes here are additive columns/rows — no breaking changes to existing marts. The full `dbt build` runs on the server via the Airflow DAGs; locally we gate with `dbt parse` (no DB needed) plus network-only diagnostic scripts.
-
-**Tech Stack:** Python (Singer SDK taps), dbt-postgres ~1.10 (invoked as `python -m dbt.cli.main`), Meltano, PostgreSQL.
-
-## Global Constraints
-
-- **No new external sources** (spec §5): only fields already in the `raw` schema or in files the taps already download. The one sanctioned tap change is the Ofsted MI report-card columns (spec §5, §8.4) and the legacy-KS2 year addition (same DfE performance-tables source).
-- **Additive only:** never rename or drop existing mart columns; the backend maps them 1:1 in `backend/models.py`.
-- **Never push to `main`.** Branch: `feat/compare-data-foundation`; PR checks must pass.
-- Backend `models.py` changes belong to the follow-up backend PR, not this one.
-- dbt invocation is always `python -m dbt.cli.main` (a bare `dbt` resolves to the wrong binary — see `pipeline/dags/school_data_pipeline.py:27`).
-- EES suppression codes `z`/`c`/`x` must go through the `safe_numeric` macro.
-- Computed benchmarks (FSM/EAL/SEN medians, disadvantaged national average) are **backend work** (spec §5) — explicitly out of scope here.
-

-### Task 0: Create the branch

-**Files:** none
-
-- [ ] **Step 1:** `git checkout main && git pull && git checkout -b feat/compare-data-foundation`
-
----
-
-### Task 1: Diagnostics — pin the three unknowns
-
-The spec flags three facts we must confirm from the actual files before wiring code: (a) why `gps_expected_pct`/`science_expected_pct` are NULL in `marts.fact_ks2_national_averages` despite being mapped end-to-end; (b) what the KS2 attainment long file calls its subjects/years for 2021/22 and 2022/23 (subject-level 2022/23 is NULL in prod; school-level 2021/22 is absent); (c) the exact report-card column headers in the current Ofsted MI CSV.

-### Task 2: Admissions preference detail → mart
-
-Staging already extracts `second_preference_offers`, `third_preference_offers`, `total_offers` (`stg_ees_admissions.sql:26-29`) — the mart drops them. The cross-LA fields are declared in the tap (`all_applications_from_another_LA`, `offers_to_applicants_from_another_LA`) but not selected in staging.
-
-**Files:**
-- Modify: `pipeline/transform/models/staging/stg_ees_admissions.sql` (after line 33, in `renamed`)
-- Modify: `pipeline/transform/models/marts/fact_admissions.sql`
-- Modify: `pipeline/transform/models/marts/_marts_schema.yml` (fact_admissions block, ~line 120)
-
-**Interfaces:**
-- Produces mart columns: `total_offers int`, `second_preference_offers int`, `third_preference_offers int`, `cross_la_applications int`, `cross_la_offers int`. The backend PR will map these in `FactAdmissions`.
-
-- [ ] **Step 1: Add cross-LA columns to staging**
-
-In `stg_ees_admissions.sql`, after the `first_preference_applications` line (line 33):
-
-```sql
-        -- Cross-borough demand: applications naming this school from families
-        -- living in another local authority, and offers made to them.
-        {{ safe_numeric('"all_applications_from_another_LA"') }}::integer as cross_la_applications,
-        {{ safe_numeric('"offers_to_applicants_from_another_LA"') }}::integer as cross_la_offers,
-```
-
-(Quote the identifiers — the tap emits them with mixed case, same trap as `FSM_eligible_percent`, see the header comment in that file. If `dbt parse` or the DAG run later shows the raw columns are lower-cased in Postgres, drop the double quotes.)
-
-- [ ] **Step 2: Pass everything through the mart**
-
-Replace the full select list in `fact_admissions.sql`:
-
-```sql
--- Mart: School admissions — one row per URN per year
-
-select
-    urn,
-    year,
-    school_phase,
-    places_offered,
-    total_offers,

-    second_preference_offers,
-    third_preference_offers,
-    cross_la_applications,
-    cross_la_offers,
-    first_preference_offer_pct,
-    oversubscription_ratio,
-    oversubscribed,
-    admissions_policy
-from {{ ref('stg_ees_admissions') }}
-```
-
-- [ ] **Step 3: Add schema tests**
-
-In `_marts_schema.yml` under `fact_admissions.columns`, append:
-
-```yaml
-      - name: second_preference_offers
-      - name: third_preference_offers
-      - name: cross_la_applications
-      - name: cross_la_offers
-      - name: total_offers
-```
-
-- [ ] **Step 4: Parse gate**
-
-Run: `cd pipeline/transform && python -m dbt.cli.main parse --profiles-dir .`
-Expected: `Done.` with no compilation errors.
-
-- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**
-
-```bash
-git add pipeline/transform/models/staging/stg_ees_admissions.sql pipeline/transform/models/marts/fact_admissions.sql pipeline/transform/models/marts/_marts_schema.yml

-### Task 3: KS2 progress confidence intervals + writing working-towards
-
-The tap already emits `progress_measure_lower_conf_interval`, `progress_measure_upper_conf_interval`, `working_towards_expected_standard_pupil_percent` (tap.py:203-206). The staging pivot drops them. These power the CI-based Above/Average/Below progress chips (spec §8, first-review item on statistical honesty).
-
-**Files:**
-- Modify: `pipeline/transform/models/staging/stg_ees_ks2.sql` (inside the `pivoted` CTE, next to each subject's `progress_measure_score` case, lines ~41/55/72, and in the final select ~lines 145-152)
-- Modify: `pipeline/transform/models/marts/fact_ks2_performance.sql`
-- Modify: `pipeline/transform/models/marts/_marts_schema.yml` (fact_ks2_performance block, ~line 82)
-
-**Interfaces:**
-- Produces mart columns: `reading_progress_lower_ci`, `reading_progress_upper_ci`, `writing_progress_lower_ci`, `writing_progress_upper_ci`, `maths_progress_lower_ci`, `maths_progress_upper_ci` (float), `writing_working_towards_pct` (float).
-
-- [ ] **Step 1: Add pivot cases in staging**
-
-After the `reading_progress` case (line ~41), add:
-
-```sql
-        max(case when subject = 'Reading'
-                  and breakdown_topic = 'All pupils' and breakdown = 'Total'
-            then {{ safe_numeric('progress_measure_lower_conf_interval') }} end) as reading_progress_lower_ci,
-        max(case when subject = 'Reading'
-                  and breakdown_topic = 'All pupils' and breakdown = 'Total'
-            then {{ safe_numeric('progress_measure_upper_conf_interval') }} end) as reading_progress_upper_ci,
-```
-
-After the `writing_progress` case (line ~55), add:
-
-```sql
-        max(case when subject = 'Writing'
-                  and breakdown_topic = 'All pupils' and breakdown = 'Total'
-            then {{ safe_numeric('progress_measure_lower_conf_interval') }} end) as writing_progress_lower_ci,
-        max(case when subject = 'Writing'
-                  and breakdown_topic = 'All pupils' and breakdown = 'Total'
-            then {{ safe_numeric('progress_measure_upper_conf_interval') }} end) as writing_progress_upper_ci,
-        max(case when subject = 'Writing'
-                  and breakdown_topic = 'All pupils' and breakdown = 'Total'
-            then {{ safe_numeric('working_towards_expected_standard_pupil_percent') }} end) as writing_working_towards_pct,
-```
-
-After the `maths_progress` case (line ~72), add:
-
-```sql
-        max(case when subject = 'Maths'
-                  and breakdown_topic = 'All pupils' and breakdown = 'Total'
-            then {{ safe_numeric('progress_measure_lower_conf_interval') }} end) as maths_progress_lower_ci,
-        max(case when subject = 'Maths'
-                  and breakdown_topic = 'All pupils' and breakdown = 'Total'
-            then {{ safe_numeric('progress_measure_upper_conf_interval') }} end) as maths_progress_upper_ci,
-```
-
-Then add the seven new columns to the model's final select (next to the existing `p.reading_progress` / `p.writing_progress` / `p.maths_progress` lines ~145-152):
-
-```sql
-    p.reading_progress_lower_ci,
-    p.reading_progress_upper_ci,
-    p.writing_progress_lower_ci,
-    p.writing_progress_upper_ci,
-    p.writing_working_towards_pct,
-    p.maths_progress_lower_ci,
-    p.maths_progress_upper_ci,
-```
-
-- [ ] **Step 2: Pass through the mart**
-
-In `fact_ks2_performance.sql`, add the same seven column names to the select list immediately after the existing `maths_progress` line (this mart selects staging columns by name; match the file's existing alias style — if columns are selected bare, add them bare).
-
-- [ ] **Step 3: Schema tests**
-
-In `_marts_schema.yml` under `fact_ks2_performance.columns`, append the seven names (no tests beyond presence — values are legitimately NULL for 2023/24+ since progress measures ended with 2022/23, spec §4.3):
-
-```yaml
-      - name: reading_progress_lower_ci
-      - name: reading_progress_upper_ci
-      - name: writing_progress_lower_ci
-      - name: writing_progress_upper_ci
-      - name: writing_working_towards_pct
-      - name: maths_progress_lower_ci
-      - name: maths_progress_upper_ci
-```
-
-- [ ] **Step 4: Parse gate**
-
-Run: `cd pipeline/transform && python -m dbt.cli.main parse --profiles-dir .`
-Expected: `Done.`
-

-### Task 4: KS4 — Progress 8 banding and disadvantage gaps
-
-The tap's `ees_ks4_info` stream already declares `progress8_banding` (DfE's own "well above average … well below average" label — the ready-made secondary chip), `attainment8_diffn` and `progress8_diffn` (tap.py:338-340). Wire them through staging into the mart.
-
-**Files:**
-- Modify: `pipeline/transform/models/staging/stg_ees_ks4.sql` (the CTE that reads `ees_ks4_info` — the same one that already surfaces `sen_pct`; add three columns to its select and to the final joined select)
-- Modify: `pipeline/transform/models/marts/fact_ks4_performance.sql` (add after `progress_8_upper_ci`)
-- Modify: `pipeline/transform/models/marts/_marts_schema.yml` (fact_ks4_performance block, ~line 93)
-
-**Interfaces:**
-- Produces mart columns: `progress_8_banding text`, `attainment_8_disadvantage_gap float`, `progress_8_disadvantage_gap float`.
-
-- [ ] **Step 1: Staging — select from the info source**
-
-In the info CTE of `stg_ees_ks4.sql` add:
-
-```sql
-        nullif(trim(progress8_banding), '') as progress_8_banding,
-        {{ safe_numeric('attainment8_diffn') }} as attainment_8_disadvantage_gap,
-        {{ safe_numeric('progress8_diffn') }} as progress_8_disadvantage_gap,
-```
-
-and add the three names to the model's final select (aliased the same way the CTE's other columns are).
-
-- [ ] **Step 2: Mart passthrough**
-
-In `fact_ks4_performance.sql`, after the `progress_8_upper_ci,` line:
-
-```sql
-    progress_8_banding,
-    attainment_8_disadvantage_gap,
-    progress_8_disadvantage_gap,
-```
-
-- [ ] **Step 3: Schema tests** — append the three names under `fact_ks4_performance.columns`, plus an accepted-values guard that tolerates NULL:
-
-```yaml
-      - name: progress_8_banding
-        tests:
-          - accepted_values:
-              values: ['Well above average', 'Above average', 'Average', 'Below average', 'Well below average']
-              config:
-                where: "progress_8_banding is not null"
-      - name: attainment_8_disadvantage_gap
-      - name: progress_8_disadvantage_gap
-```
-
-(If the DAG run later shows different capitalisation in the data, fix the accepted values to match the data, not vice versa.)
-
-- [ ] **Step 4: Parse gate** — `cd pipeline/transform && python -m dbt.cli.main parse --profiles-dir .` → `Done.`

-### Task 5: National averages — 2015/16 row and GPS/science/scaled-score fix
-
-Two changes. (1) `stg_ees_ks2_national.sql:34` filters `>= 201617`, which is exactly why the England line starts a year late (2015/16 RWM = 53% exists in the catalogue). (2) GPS/science expected are NULL in prod despite full end-to-end mapping — Task 1's findings say whether the catalogue CSV column names differ from `_KS2_NATIONAL_COL_MAP` (`pt_gps_exp`, `pt_scita_exp`) or whether values are suppressed at source.
-
-**Files:**
-- Modify: `pipeline/transform/models/staging/stg_ees_ks2_national.sql:34`
-- Modify (conditional on Task 1 findings): `pipeline/plugins/extractors/tap-uk-ees/tap_uk_ees/tap.py` (`_KS2_NATIONAL_COL_MAP`)
-
-**Interfaces:**
-- Produces: a 201516 row in `marts.fact_ks2_national_averages`; non-NULL `gps_expected_pct`, `science_expected_pct`, `reading_avg_score`, `maths_avg_score`, `gps_avg_score` for years the DfE publishes them. Backend/frontend consume via `/api/national-averages` unchanged (additive year + newly non-NULL fields).
-
-- [ ] **Step 1: Widen the year filter**
-
-In `stg_ees_ks2_national.sql`, change line 34:
-
-```sql
-  and cast(trim(time_period) as integer) >= 201516
-```
-
-(2015/16 was the first year of the current expected-standard tests; nothing earlier is comparable, so keep a floor.)
-
-- [ ] **Step 2: Fix the column map per Task 1 findings**
-
-If Task 1 reported the actual CSV column names for GPS/science/scaled scores differ, update `_KS2_NATIONAL_COL_MAP` in `tap.py` accordingly, e.g. (illustrative — use the diagnosed names):
-
-```python
-_KS2_NATIONAL_COL_MAP = {
-    # ... existing entries ...
-    "pt_gps_exp": "gps_expected_pct",      # replace key with diagnosed name
-    "pt_scita_exp": "science_expected_pct",  # replace key with diagnosed name
-}
-```
-
-If Task 1 showed the columns are present but suppressed (`x`) at national level for all years, instead delete the two entries from the map, delete the corresponding lines from `stg_ees_ks2_national.sql` and `fact_ks2_national_averages.sql`, and record in the PR description that GPS/science England ticks stay "not in dataset" (the mockups already carry that caveat).
-
-- [ ] **Step 3: Parse gate** — `cd pipeline/transform && python -m dbt.cli.main parse --profiles-dir .` → `Done.`
-
-- [ ] **Step 4: Commit**
-
-```bash
-git add pipeline/transform/models/staging/stg_ees_ks2_national.sql pipeline/plugins/extractors/tap-uk-ees/tap_uk_ees/tap.py

-### Task 6: Legacy KS2 — load the 2021/22 school-level year
-
-School-level 2021/22 exists in DfE performance-tables archives (same source as the four legacy years already loaded) but in neither our legacy config (stops at 201819, `pipeline/meltano.yml:33-37`) nor EES (starts 2022/23) — unless Task 1's finding (b) showed an EES release carrying 202122, in which case skip this task and note why in the PR.
-
-The legacy URLs point at the self-hosted filebrowser (`10.0.1.224:8081`) — **the 2021/22 DfE archive must be uploaded there first; this is the one human dependency in this plan.**
-
-**Files:**
-- Modify: `pipeline/meltano.yml` (legacy_ks2_urls block, line ~33)
-
-**Interfaces:**
-- Produces: `raw.legacy_ks2` rows with `year = '202122'`, flowing through `stg_legacy_ks2` → `fact_ks2_performance` unchanged (the stream maps old column names already; 2021/22 CSVs use the same `PTRWM_EXP`-style headers as 2018/19).
-
-- [ ] **Step 1: Verify the 2021/22 CSV headers match `_LEGACY_KS2_COLUMN_MAP`**
-
-Download the DfE 2021/22 KS2 revised archive (gov.uk "Compare School Performance data download": 2021-2022 all-schools ZIP), then:
-
-Run: `python -c "import zipfile,io,pandas as pd; zf=zipfile.ZipFile('/path/to/2021-2022.zip'); n=[x for x in zf.namelist() if 'ks2final' in x.lower() and x.endswith('.csv')][0]; df=pd.read_csv(zf.open(n), dtype=str, nrows=5); import sys; sys.path.insert(0,'pipeline/plugins/extractors/tap-uk-ees'); from tap_uk_ees.tap import _LEGACY_KS2_COLUMN_MAP as m; missing=[c for c in m if c not in df.columns]; print('missing legacy columns:', missing)"`
-Expected: `missing legacy columns: []` (progress columns `READPROG` etc. may legitimately be missing/blank in 2021/22 — acceptable, they load as NULL).
-
-- [ ] **Step 2: Upload the archive to the filebrowser and add the config entry**
-
-In `pipeline/meltano.yml` under `legacy_ks2_urls`, add (with the real share URL from the filebrowser upload):
-
-```yaml
-          "202122": "http://10.0.1.224:8081/filebrowser/api/public/dl/<SHARE_ID>?inline=true"
-```
-
-- [ ] **Step 3: Commit**
-
-```bash
-git add pipeline/meltano.yml
-git commit -m "feat(pipeline): load 2021/22 school-level KS2 from legacy performance tables"
-```
-
-- [ ] **Step 4 (only if Task 1(b) showed 2022/23 subject labels differ):** widen the subject matchers in `stg_ees_ks2.sql` the same way GPS already is (`subject ilike '%grammar%' or subject = 'GPS'`), e.g. `subject in ('Reading', 'reading')` → use the diagnosed labels. Parse-gate and commit as `fix(pipeline): match 2022/23 KS2 subject labels`.

-### Task 7: Ofsted report-card columns (rc_*)
-
-Resolves the tap TODO (`stg_ofsted_inspections.sql:37`). The marts/backed columns already exist as stubs; this wires real values. Uses Task 1(c)'s confirmed MI column names — the candidates below follow the MI file's existing naming style and must be corrected against the diagnostic output.
-
-**Files:**
-- Modify: `pipeline/plugins/extractors/tap-uk-ofsted/tap_uk_ofsted/tap.py` (COLUMN_PRIORITY ~line 19-72, schema ~line 100-114)
-- Create: `pipeline/transform/macros/parse_report_card_grade.sql`
-- Modify: `pipeline/transform/models/staging/stg_ofsted_inspections.sql:36-46`
-
-**Interfaces:**
-- Produces mart columns (already declared in `fact_ofsted_inspection`): `rc_safeguarding_met boolean`, and `rc_inclusion` … `rc_sixth_form` as integers on the 5-point scale `1=Exceptional, 2=Strong standard, 3=Expected standard, 4=Needs attention/Attention needed, 5=Urgent improvement`. The backend translates codes to labels (same pattern as `gias_codes.py`), verifying wording against Ofsted's published toolkit (spec §8.4).
-
-- [ ] **Step 1: Add tap column mappings**
-
-In `COLUMN_PRIORITY` add (replace candidate strings with Task 1(c)'s exact headers — keep them as priority lists so older files degrade to blank):
-
-```python
-    "rc_safeguarding_met": ["Report card safeguarding", "Safeguarding"],
-    "rc_inclusion": ["Report card inclusion", "Inclusion"],
-    "rc_curriculum_teaching": ["Report card curriculum and teaching", "Curriculum and teaching"],
-    "rc_achievement": ["Report card achievement", "Achievement"],
-    "rc_attendance_behaviour": ["Report card attendance and behaviour", "Attendance and behaviour"],
-    "rc_personal_development": ["Report card personal development and well-being", "Personal development and well-being"],
-    "rc_leadership_governance": ["Report card leadership and governance", "Leadership and governance"],
-    "rc_early_years": ["Report card early years", "Early years"],
-    "rc_sixth_form": ["Report card sixth form", "Sixth form"],
-```
-
-And in the stream schema (next to `report_url`, ~line 114):
-
-```python
-        th.Property("rc_safeguarding_met", th.StringType),
-        th.Property("rc_inclusion", th.StringType),
-        th.Property("rc_curriculum_teaching", th.StringType),
-        th.Property("rc_achievement", th.StringType),
-        th.Property("rc_attendance_behaviour", th.StringType),
-        th.Property("rc_personal_development", th.StringType),
-        th.Property("rc_leadership_governance", th.StringType),
-        th.Property("rc_early_years", th.StringType),
-        th.Property("rc_sixth_form", th.StringType),
-```
-
-- [ ] **Step 2: Write the grade-parsing macro**
-
-`pipeline/transform/macros/parse_report_card_grade.sql`:
-
-```sql
-{% macro parse_report_card_grade(column_name) %}
-    case lower(trim(nullif({{ column_name }}, 'NULL')))
-        when 'exceptional' then 1
-        when 'strong standard' then 2
-        when 'expected standard' then 3
-        when 'needs attention' then 4
-        when 'attention needed' then 4
-        when 'urgent improvement' then 5
-    end
-{% endmacro %}
-```
-
-- [ ] **Step 3: Wire staging**
-
-Replace `stg_ofsted_inspections.sql` lines 36-46 (the NULL stubs) with:
-
-```sql
-        -- Report Card fields (post-Nov 2025 framework), 5-point scale:
-        -- 1 Exceptional · 2 Strong standard · 3 Expected standard
-        -- · 4 Needs attention · 5 Urgent improvement
-        (lower(trim(nullif(rc_safeguarding_met, 'NULL'))) = 'met')        as rc_safeguarding_met,
-        {{ parse_report_card_grade('rc_inclusion') }}::integer            as rc_inclusion,
-        {{ parse_report_card_grade('rc_curriculum_teaching') }}::integer  as rc_curriculum_teaching,
-        {{ parse_report_card_grade('rc_achievement') }}::integer          as rc_achievement,
-        {{ parse_report_card_grade('rc_attendance_behaviour') }}::integer as rc_attendance_behaviour,
-        {{ parse_report_card_grade('rc_personal_development') }}::integer as rc_personal_development,
-        {{ parse_report_card_grade('rc_leadership_governance') }}::integer as rc_leadership_governance,
-        {{ parse_report_card_grade('rc_early_years') }}::integer          as rc_early_years,
-        {{ parse_report_card_grade('rc_sixth_form') }}::integer           as rc_sixth_form,

-
-Note `rc_safeguarding_met` becomes boolean (NULL when blank) — matching `fact_ofsted_inspection`'s `rc_safeguarding_met` Boolean column. If `fact_ofsted_inspection.sql` casts these columns, align its casts too (inspect that model; it currently passes the text stubs through).

-### Task 8: PR + post-merge verification
-
-**Files:** none new
-
-- [ ] **Step 1: Push and open the PR** (Gitea — use the git credential helper + basic-auth API pattern; token-header auth 401s):
-
-```bash
-git push -u origin feat/compare-data-foundation
-# then create the PR via the Gitea API with basic auth from `git credential fill`
-```
-
-PR body: link spec §5/§8, list the new mart columns, note the Task 6 human dependency (filebrowser upload) and the Task 1 findings file.
-
-- [ ] **Step 2: After merge, verify the DAG run picked everything up**
-
-The daily/monthly DAGs rebuild the affected models (`pipeline/dags/school_data_pipeline.py`). Spot-check via the public API (production after promotion, staging first at stx.schoolcompare.co.uk — note external /api is broken at the staging proxy, so check staging from the host):
-
-```bash
-# 2015/16 national row exists
-curl -sL "https://www.schoolcompare.co.uk/api/national-averages" | python3 -c "import json,sys; d=json.load(sys.stdin); assert any(r['year']==201516 and r['primary'] for r in d['by_year']), '2015/16 missing'; print('201516 ok')"
-# 2021/22 school rows exist (Barclay)
-curl -sL "https://www.schoolcompare.co.uk/api/schools/138690" | python3 -c "import json,sys; d=json.load(sys.stdin); ys=[r['year'] for r in d['yearly_data']]; assert 202122 in [int(y) for y in ys], ys; print('202122 ok')"
-```
-
-(The admissions/CI/KS4/rc_* columns aren't API-visible until the backend PR maps them — verify those directly in Postgres from the pipeline host: `select count(*) from marts.fact_admissions where second_preference_offers is not null;` etc.)
-
-- [ ] **Step 3: Update the spec** — tick off the §5 promotions this PR delivered (edit the spec's promotion list to note "landed in PR #NN") and commit to main via a docs PR or alongside the backend PR.
-
----
-
-## Out of scope (next plans)
-
-1. **Backend PR:** map new columns in `backend/models.py`, extend `/api/compare` with supplementary blocks + `national_averages`, computed benchmarks (FSM/EAL/SEN/size medians, disadvantaged national average), CI-based progress banding, report-card label translation (verify against Ofsted toolkit), Ofsted provider-page URLs, graded-vs-ungraded surfacing.
-2. **Frontend PR:** rebuild `/compare` per the mockups + e2e journeys (promotion gate).
-3. **Separate bug fix:** third school's series not rendering on the current production chart.
-4. **Post-v1 (spec):** census ethnicity/young-carer promotion, IDACI display, attendance section, gender-split/absence tier-2 measures.
-5. **Already in marts, no work needed:** KS4 EBacc entry/APS, grade 5+ English & maths, Progress 8 CIs — `fact_ks4_performance` carries them today; only the backend needs to expose them.

-# Compare API Enrichment (Backend PR) Implementation Plan
-
-> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
-
-**Goal:** Expose the PR #32 data through the API so the redesigned compare screen can be built: enrich `/api/compare` with supplementary blocks + national averages + computed benchmarks, translate Ofsted report-card codes to labels, and surface the new mart columns (spec §6, §8 of `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-07-11-compare-screen-redesign-design.md`).
-
-**Architecture:** All changes are additive API fields — existing consumers keep working. One small dbt change rides along: `fact_performance` (the combined KS2+KS4 mart the backend's `_MAIN_QUERY` reads) enumerates columns explicitly and was not extended in PR #32, so the new KS2 CI and KS4 banding columns must be threaded through it here. Everything else is backend Python: `models.py` mappings, `data_loader` query/supplementary additions, an Ofsted label dictionary (gias_codes pattern), and `/api/compare` composition.
-
-**Tech Stack:** FastAPI, SQLAlchemy, pandas; dbt (one model); pytest via `python -m pytest backend/tests -q` (CI installs `requirements.txt pytest "httpx<0.28"`; locally use `uv run --with-requirements requirements.txt --with pytest --with "httpx==0.27.0" python -m pytest backend/tests -q`).
-
-## Global Constraints
-
-- **Never push to `main`.** Branch: `feat/compare-api-enrichment`.
-- **Additive only** to API responses; never rename/remove existing fields (frontend + e2e depend on them).
-- **Report-card scale labels are the live-sampled vocabulary** (evidence in `pipeline/scripts/diagnose_compare_gaps.py`): `1=Exceptional, 2=Strong standard, 3=Expected standard, 4=Needs attention, 5=Urgent improvement`. Never "Attention needed". Safeguarding is boolean met/not-met, never counted as a graded area.
-- **Ofsted links** are always the provider page `https://reports.ofsted.gov.uk/provider/21/{urn}` (spec §5) labelled as the school's Ofsted page.
-- **Benchmark provenance** (spec §8.6): computed values are "state-school average (computed from our dataset)" — the API must expose them under a `benchmarks` key, clearly separate from official `national_averages`.
-- TDD: each behaviour lands with a failing test first, in `backend/tests/` following the `test_school_details.py` pattern (pandas fixture + monkeypatched `load_school_data` + `TestClient`).
-- Deploy note for the PR body: the new API fields return NULL/empty until prod's DAGs have run post-promotion.

-### Task 1: Thread PR #32 columns through `fact_performance`
-
-**Files:**
-- Modify: `pipeline/transform/models/marts/fact_performance.sql`

-
-- [ ] **Step 1:** In `fact_performance.sql`, after `ks2.reading_progress,` add `ks2.reading_progress_lower_ci,` and `ks2.reading_progress_upper_ci,`; after `ks2.writing_progress,` add `ks2.writing_progress_lower_ci,`, `ks2.writing_progress_upper_ci,`, `ks2.writing_working_towards_pct,`; after `ks2.maths_progress,` add `ks2.maths_progress_lower_ci,`, `ks2.maths_progress_upper_ci,`. In the KS4 section, after the `ks4.progress_8_upper_ci`-equivalent line (locate the Progress 8 block) add:
-

Note `_MAIN_QUERY_NO_SIXTH_FORM`/`_MAIN_QUERY_LEGACY_NAMES` are string-derived from `_MAIN_QUERY` (lines 259-270) and inherit automatically — verify the assertions there still hold.

Rename/extract the local `_admissions_row` into module-level `_admissions_row_dict(a)` and append the five new fields. Add the ten new columns to `_MAIN_QUERY` exactly as the interface lists them. `get_supplementary_data` calls both helpers; its external shape gains only additive keys.

-- [ ] **Step 4:** Full suite → pass. **Step 5:** Commit: `feat(api): computed state-school benchmarks`
-
----
-
-### Task 6: Enrich `/api/compare` + expose GPS/science national averages (TDD)
-
-**Files:**
-- Modify: `backend/app.py` (`compare_schools` ~line 636; `get_national_averages` ~line 730)
-- Test: `backend/tests/test_compare_enrichment.py`
-
-**Interfaces (response additions, all additive):**
-- `/api/compare` top level gains: `"national_averages"` (same payload the `/api/national-averages` endpoint returns — extract the endpoint body into a helper `_national_averages_payload(df)` and reuse; do not duplicate the logic) and `"benchmarks"` (Task 5's `compute_benchmarks(df)`).
-- Each `comparison[urn]` gains: `"ofsted"`, `"census"`, `"admissions"`, `"admissions_history"`, `"deprivation"` from `get_supplementary_data` (one `SessionLocal()` for the whole request, closed in `finally`; on exception the five keys are `None`/`[]` — mirror the detail endpoint's defensive pattern at app.py:583-590).
-- `get_national_averages`' KS2 metric list gains `"gps_expected_pct", "gps_high_pct", "science_expected_pct"` so the England ticks for GPS/science flow once the data exists.
-
-- [ ] **Step 1: Failing tests** — monkeypatch `load_school_data` with a two-school primary df (reuse/extend the fixture style of `test_school_details.py`) and monkeypatch `get_supplementary_data` to a canned dict; assert on `TestClient(app).get("/api/compare?urns=...")`:
-  - response keeps the existing shape (`comparison[urn]["school_info"]["rwm_expected_pct"]` etc.),
-  - each school gains the five supplementary keys (canned values round-tripped),
-  - top-level `national_averages` and `benchmarks` present; `benchmarks["source"]` is the exact provenance string,
-  - a supplementary-layer exception (monkeypatched to raise) degrades to `ofsted: None` etc. with HTTP 200,
-  - `/api/national-averages` includes `gps_expected_pct` in the primary block when the df/national table provides it (monkeypatch the national-averages source the endpoint reads).
-
-- [ ] **Step 2:** Run → FAIL. **Step 3:** Implement per the interfaces. **Step 4:** Full suite → pass.
-
-- [ ] **Step 5:** Commit: `feat(api): compare endpoint carries supplementary blocks, national averages and benchmarks`
-
----
-
-### Task 7: PR + verification
-
-- [ ] **Step 1:** Full suite one more time + `uv run --with pyyaml python3 -c "import yaml; yaml.safe_load(open('.gitea/workflows/deploy.yml'))"` sanity is NOT needed (no workflow changes) — instead run the dbt parse gate again (Task 1 file).
-- [ ] **Step 2:** Push, open PR via the Gitea API (credential-helper basic auth). PR body: the new response shapes (one JSON sketch), the reused-not-duplicated national-averages helper, the provenance rule for benchmarks, deploy note (fields NULL until prod DAGs run post-promotion), and that no e2e change is needed (no user-facing behaviour changes — the compare UI still reads the old fields; the frontend PR carries the journey updates).
-- [ ] **Step 3:** After merge + staging deploy: `curl -s https://stx.schoolcompare.co.uk/api/compare?urns=138690,100140 | python3 -m json.tool | head -80` — verify the new keys and that `benchmarks.primary.disadvantaged_rwm_expected_pct` is plausible (~45-47). Verify `/api/national-averages` now carries `gps_expected_pct`/`science_expected_pct` (values or honest nulls if DfE suppresses them at national level).
-

-
-## Out of scope
-
-- Frontend rebuild + e2e journeys (next PR — consumes everything this PR exposes).
-- `schemas.py` METRIC_DEFINITIONS additions for the trends picker (frontend PR decides which of the new columns become picker metrics).
-- CI-based progress banding logic (frontend computes Above/Average/Below from the CI columns; historical years only).

-# Staged Production Promotion (Manual Gate) Implementation Plan
-
-> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
-
-**Goal:** Merging a PR deploys to staging only; production deployment requires a second, explicit human approval after manual testing on staging.
-
-**Architecture:** Split the existing single `deploy.yml` pipeline in two. The push-to-main workflow keeps build → staging deploy → e2e gate and **stops there**. A new `promote.yml` runs only on `workflow_dispatch` (the "Run workflow" button in Gitea's Actions UI, supported on this server — Gitea 1.26.4): it verifies the chosen commit passed the staging e2e gate, retags its `:sha-*` images to `:prod` (keeping `:prod-previous` for rollback), and triggers the Portainer prod webhook. Promotion granularity is a main-branch commit: staging always runs the latest main, so you approve a *state of main*, not an individual PR.
-
-**Tech Stack:** Gitea Actions (1.26.4), Docker buildx imagetools, Portainer webhooks, Gitea commit-status API.
-
-## Global Constraints
-
-- **Never push to `main` directly** — this change itself goes through a PR (`chore/staged-prod-promotion` branch).
-- Existing image tagging scheme is unchanged: `type=sha` (e.g. `sha-6f925ab`) + `:staging`; promotion still retags `:sha-*` → `:prod` with `:prod-previous` kept as the rollback pointer.
-- The e2e journeys remain a **hard gate before human testing** (a red staging never reaches the promote button) and the promote workflow must refuse to promote a commit whose staging e2e did not succeed.
-- Secrets already exist and are reused: `REGISTRY_TOKEN` (also a Gitea API token), `PORTAINER_STAGING_WEBHOOK`, `PORTAINER_PROD_WEBHOOK`, `STAGING_BASE_URL`, `PROD_BASE_URL`.
-- Staging quirk (memory): external `/api` is broken at the staging proxy — manual API testing happens from the host, not through stx.schoolcompare.co.uk; note it in the runbook, don't try to fix it in this plan.
-
-## Considered approaches (context for the reviewer)
-
-1. **Manual `workflow_dispatch` promote workflow (chosen).** Native on Gitea 1.26; the second approval is clicking "Run workflow" (or one API call) after testing staging. Least machinery, auditable via the Actions run history.
-2. *Tag-driven promotion* (`push: tags: promote-*`): works on any Gitea version; approval = pushing a tag. Slightly more scriptable, less discoverable; kept as documented fallback only.
-3. *GitOps `production` branch + promotion PR:* approval literally reuses the PR-review UI, but adds a second long-lived branch to keep in sync — too much ceremony for a solo project. Rejected.

----
-
-### Task 0: Branch
-
-- [ ] `git checkout main && git pull && git checkout -b chore/staged-prod-promotion`
-
----
-
-### Task 1: Stop the push-to-main workflow after the e2e gate
-
-**Files:**
-- Modify: `.gitea/workflows/deploy.yml`
-
-**Interfaces:**
-- Produces: images tagged `:sha-<short>` + `:staging` (unchanged), a green `E2E Journeys against Staging` commit status that Task 2's promote workflow checks by name. **Do not rename the `e2e-staging` job's `name:` without updating Task 2's status check.**
-
-- [ ] **Step 1: Remove the auto-promotion**
-
-In `.gitea/workflows/deploy.yml`:
-1. Change line 1 to: `name: Stage (build -> staging -> E2E gate)`
-2. Delete the entire `promote-prod` job (lines 196–240 in the current file: from `  promote-prod:` to the end of the file).
-3. Leave `build-*`, `deploy-staging`, and `e2e-staging` untouched.
-
-- [ ] **Step 2: Sanity-check the YAML**
-
-Run: `python3 -c "import yaml; yaml.safe_load(open('.gitea/workflows/deploy.yml')); print('yaml ok')"`
-Expected: `yaml ok`
-
-- [ ] **Step 3: Commit**
-
-```bash
-git add .gitea/workflows/deploy.yml
-git commit -m "ci: stop deploy pipeline at staging; production promotion becomes manual"
-```
-
----
-
-### Task 2: Manual promote workflow
-
-**Files:**
-- Create: `.gitea/workflows/promote.yml`
-
-**Interfaces:**
-- Consumes: `:sha-<short>` images built by deploy.yml; the `E2E Journeys against Staging` commit status.
-- Produces: `:prod` and `:prod-previous` tags; prod stack update.

-
-Implementation notes for the engineer:
-- Gitea Actions uses the GitHub-compatible `$GITHUB_OUTPUT` file for step outputs; if the runner image doesn't populate it, fall back to `$GITEA_OUTPUT` (check the runner's docs/output at first run).
-- The retag step is copied verbatim from the old `promote-prod` job except the SHA comes from the resolved input instead of `gitea.sha` — behaviour for the default (empty input on latest main) is identical to before.
-- If `docker buildx imagetools create` fails with "not found" for `${IMAGE}:${SHORT_SHA}`, the chosen commit predates the registry's retention or never built — the error message is the desired behaviour (refuse loudly).
-
-- [ ] **Step 2: YAML sanity check**
-
-Run: `python3 -c "import yaml; yaml.safe_load(open('.gitea/workflows/promote.yml')); print('yaml ok')"`
-Expected: `yaml ok`
-
-- [ ] **Step 3: Commit**
-
-```bash
-git add .gitea/workflows/promote.yml
-git commit -m "ci: manual production promotion workflow with e2e-gate verification"
-```
-
----
-
-### Task 3: Documentation — deploy model + runbook
-
-**Files:**
-- Modify: `docs/DEPLOY.md`
-- Modify: `claude.md` (the SDLC section)
-
-- [ ] **Step 1: Rewrite the flow description in `docs/DEPLOY.md`**
-
-Replace the staging→prod description with the new model (adapt to the file's existing structure; the substance to convey):
-
-```markdown
-## Deploy model
-
-1. **PR → main (first approval).** Branch-protected merge; PR checks
-   (typecheck, tests, builds, AI review) must pass.
-2. **Merge → staging (automatic).** Images are built once and tagged
-   `sha-<short>` + `staging`; the staging stack updates; Playwright
-   journeys in `e2e/` run against staging. A red e2e run means staging
-   is not fit for testing — fix forward before considering promotion.
-3. **Manual testing on staging.** stx.schoolcompare.co.uk. Note:
-   external `/api` is broken at the staging proxy — exercise API
-   endpoints from the host.
-4. **Promote → production (second approval).** Actions → "Promote to
-   Production (manual)" → Run workflow. Leave the SHA empty to promote
-   the latest main, or paste a specific commit SHA. The workflow
-   refuses commits whose staging e2e gate is not green, retags the
-   images `:prod` (keeping `:prod-previous`), and updates the prod
-   stack.
-
-### Promotion granularity
-
-Staging always runs the latest `main`. Promoting approves a *state of
-main*, not a single PR — if two PRs merged since the last promotion,
-they ship together. Test staging accordingly.
-
-### Rollback
-
-Re-run "Promote to Production (manual)" with the SHA of the last good
-commit (or retag manually: `docker buildx imagetools create -t
-<image>:prod <image>:prod-previous` for each of the three images, then
-POST the prod Portainer webhook).
-```
-
-- [ ] **Step 2: Update the SDLC bullet in `claude.md`**
-
-Replace the sentence "Merging to `main` deploys automatically: … retagged `:prod` and rolled out to production." with:
-
-```markdown
-- Merging to `main` deploys automatically **to staging only**: images
-  are built once, deployed to the staging Portainer stack, and verified
-  by the Playwright journeys in `e2e/`. Production is a second, manual
-  approval: the "Promote to Production (manual)" workflow in Gitea
-  Actions, run after testing the feature on staging. It refuses commits
-  whose staging e2e gate isn't green.
-```
-
-- [ ] **Step 3: Commit**
-
-```bash
-git add docs/DEPLOY.md claude.md
-git commit -m "docs: two-stage deploy model (staging auto, production manual)"
-```
-
----
-
-### Task 4: PR + live validation
-
-- [ ] **Step 1: Push and open the PR** (Gitea API with credential-helper basic auth, as usual). PR body: the new model in three lines, the rollback recipe, and a warning that between merging this PR and its first promotion run, production receives no deployments (expected).
-
-- [ ] **Step 2: Validate after merge (human-in-the-loop):**
-1. Merge this PR → confirm the `Stage (build -> staging -> E2E gate)` run goes green and **no** production deployment happens (prod image digest unchanged: `docker buildx imagetools inspect <image>:prod` before/after, or check the Portainer prod stack's last-update time).
-2. Test something trivial on staging.
-3. Run "Promote to Production (manual)" with the SHA empty → confirm e2e verification passes, retag happens, prod becomes healthy.
-4. Negative test: run the promote workflow with a garbage SHA (e.g. `deadbeef1`) → confirm it fails at resolve/verify without touching `:prod`.
-
-- [ ] **Step 3: Update the ledger/memory** with the new deploy model so future sessions stop assuming auto-promotion.
-
----
-
-## Out of scope / future options
-
-- Notifications when staging is ready for testing (Gitea can email on workflow completion; a webhook to ntfy/Matrix could be added later).
-- Restricting who can run the promote workflow: Gitea 1.26 runs `workflow_dispatch` with the permissions of the dispatching user; for a solo repo this is already effectively restricted.
-- The tag-driven fallback (`on: push: tags: promote-*`) if `workflow_dispatch` ever proves unreliable on the runner.

-# Compare Screen Redesign — Expert Data Review
-
-**Date:** 2026-07-11
-**Reviewer:** subagent briefed as an English education-standards / DfE-Ofsted data expert
-**Subject:** desktop + mobile compare mockups and the redesign spec
-(`2026-07-11-compare-screen-redesign-design.md`)
-**Status:** first-pass must-fixes applied 2026-07-12; second-pass
-findings (below) applied 2026-07-12 — mockups + spec §4/§8 updated
-
-## Must-fix
-
-1. **COVID gap is wrong and drops a real results year.** KS2 tests were
-   cancelled 2019/20 and 2020/21 only; they resumed in 2021/22 with
-   published school-level results (England RWM ≈ 59%). The mockup charts
-   omit 2021/22 entirely and the tooltip claims no tests were held
-   2019/20–2021/22. Fix: add 2021/22 to axis and all series; shrink the
-   gap band; optionally annotate 2021/22 with DfE's post-pandemic
-   comparability caution.
-2. **Report-card at-a-glance summary miscounts areas.** Detail list has
-   4 Strong / 2 Expected / 1 Attention needed + Safeguarding met, but
-   the summary says "3 areas Expected standard" — it counts safeguarding
-   as a graded area. Safeguarding is a separate binary judgement and
-   must be excluded from rating counts.
-3. **"Where the offers went" derivation is unsound.** Places − 1st-pref
-   offers ≠ "second or third choices": the residual can include 4th–6th
-   preference offers (pan-London scheme) and LA-allocated children who
-   didn't choose the school; and offers don't necessarily equal PAN.
-   Use the real 2nd/3rd-preference fields being promoted from
-   `raw.ees_admissions`; until then drop the row.
-4. **Ofsted timeline in the copy is wrong.** Overall grades were
-   abolished September 2024, not November 2025; Sept 2024–Nov 2025
-   inspections kept the four key judgements without an overall grade
-   (ungraded inspections carried grades forward). Neither mockup shows
-   the interim regime, which will dominate real comparisons. Fix copy
-   and add an interim example.
-5. **Barclay's "published an overall grade only — no area-by-area
-   detail" misdescribes inspections.** No inspection type does that; a
-   2021 graded inspection necessarily had subgrades — the gap is in our
-   dataset. If it was an ungraded (s8) inspection, "Outstanding" is a
-   carried-forward grade and should say so. Fix: "We don't hold
-   area-by-area detail for this inspection", and distinguish graded vs
-   ungraded in the data model.
-
-## Should-fix
-
-6. Writing is teacher assessment, not a test — "national tests and
-   teacher assessments"; note TA caveat on the Writing strip.
-7. Verify renewed-framework wording against Ofsted's final toolkit:
-   likely "Needs attention" (not "Attention needed") and "Personal
-   development and well-being" (which otherwise collides with the
-   identically-named legacy judgement). Pin every label to the
-   published toolkit.
-8. "Expected standard" now means two things on one page (Ofsted area
-   rating vs KS2 measure) — disambiguate in tooltips.
-9. Disadvantaged row: DfE definition includes looked-after / previously
-   looked-after children, not just FSM6; benchmark labels inconsistent
-   across desktop/mobile; subgroup percentages need cohort sizes or a
-   volatility threshold before chips are attached.
-10. "Trend, last 7 years" spans ten years; sparklines render the COVID
-    gap as equal spacing (the exact defect the audit criticises) and
-    "Improved: 52% → 87%" endpoint-cherry-picks a volatile series.
-11. At-a-glance "Getting a place" uses different metrics per school
-    (Barclay is also oversubscribed on total preferences but shows a
-    green chip). Standardise on first-preference success %. Explain the
-    equal-preference rule; condition "living close by matters" on the
-    school's actual oversubscription criteria.
-12. "457 applications for 180 places" = total preferences at any rank,
-    not head-to-head applicants; lead with first preferences vs places.
-    Add offers-vs-final-intake (waiting lists/appeals) caveat.
-13. Elmhurst's subgrade list is likely missing Early years provision
-    (school has a nursery) — possible pipeline gap.
-14. "Ofsted rating" label is obsolete post-Sept-2024 — use "Latest
-    Ofsted inspection"; check whether Oct 2021 is the latest inspection
-    or merely the latest graded one.
-15. SEN: "EHCP plans" is redundant; 28% SEN support often indicates
-    resourced provision — add a note; England SEN-support ≈ 14%, not 13%.
-
-## Nice-to-have
-
-16. Consistent labelling of official DfE vs dataset-computed benchmarks
-    (and medians shouldn't be called averages inconsistently).
-17. England 2015/16 RWM (53%) exists in DfE publications — the null is
-    a dataset gap; source it or the England line looks broken.
-18. "1 in 4 first choices missed out" — actually more than 1 in 4.
-19. "1,273 of 1,260 places (full)" is over capacity; capacity figures
-    are often stale — say "at or above capacity".
-20. State the actual suppression rule (DfE: ≤5 pupils suppressed,
-    small numbers rounded) instead of "a handful".
-21. Spec §4.3 progress chips can't exist for displayed years: KS2
-    progress ended with 2022/23 (no KS1 baseline) and returns
-    ~2027/28 with the reception baseline. Make explicit in the spec.
-    IDACI (spec §4.5) is absent from mockups; if shipped, caveat it
-    describes pupils' neighbourhoods, not the school.
-22. Tooltips should give the official term "first preference" alongside
-    the plain-English "first choice".
-
-## Overall assessment (verbatim gist)
-
-The bones are genuinely good by education-data standards —
-England-average anchoring, explicit non-comparability messaging across
-Ofsted regimes, refusal to synthesise an overall grade, time-true
-x-axis, neutral FSM/EAL framing — better than most commercial
-school-comparison sites. But items 1–5 are outright factual errors or
-misdescriptions that a well-informed parent or Ofsted would catch;
-the admissions section needs the most conceptual work (equal
-preference, preferences-vs-applicants, offers-vs-intake). Fix 1–5
-before user testing; the rest fold into the planned PRs.

-# Second-pass review (2026-07-12)
-
-Same reviewer, after the must-fixes and the new three-tier metric
-exposure model were applied.
-
-## Verification of first-pass must-fixes
-
-- **1 (COVID/2021/22): resolved.** Time-true axis, band covers only the
-  cancelled years, England 58.7% consistent with official figures,
-  dataset gaps break lines honestly; reading/maths England series all
-  match published figures; RWM ≤ min(subject) checks pass.
-- **2 (report-card count): resolved** — safeguarding excluded, spec §8.2.
-- **3 (offers derivation): resolved** — row removed, spec §8.3 bans it.
-- **4 (Ofsted timeline): resolved on desktop; mobile omits the interim
-  regime clause** (see finding 6).
-- **5 (Barclay explanation): resolved.**
-
-## New findings
-
-1. **Should-fix — scaled-score strip domain contradicts caption.**
-   Caption says "scaled scores run 80–120", strips render 100–120;
-   truncated domain exaggerates small gaps and below-100 averages
-   would fall off the edge. Render 80–120, or caption the 100–120
-   window honestly and define below-100 behaviour.
-2. **Should-fix — scaled-score England ticks (106/105/105) unsourced.**
-   Plausible but hand-entered; verify against DfE 2024/25 tables and
-   add loading official England scaled scores to the pipeline list
-   (absent from §8.1/§8.6).
-3. **Should-fix — "Writing" listed under "Higher standard" in the
-   picker.** Writing TA outcome is "greater depth" (GDS), never
-   "higher standard". Label "Writing — greater depth (teacher
-   assessment)"; tooltip the combined higher-standard composition.
-4. Nice — "grammar & punctuation" summary line drops "spelling" (GPS).
-5. Nice — science is teacher-assessed (no KS2 test since 2009) and
-   coarse; tooltip it like writing; reconsider its tier-2 slot.
-6. **Should-fix — mobile Ofsted copy skips the interim regime**
-   (Sept 2024–Nov 2025) that desktop explains. One clause fixes it.
-7. **Should-fix — benchmark provenance still inconsistent** (EAL
-   tooltip unsourced; FSM/disadvantaged chips vs tooltips use three
-   vocabularies; header note says all England averages are official).
-   Adopt one house style: official = "England average", computed =
-   "benchmark / typical state school (our dataset)". Also tighten EAL
-   definition to census wording ("first language known or believed to
-   be other than English").
-8. Nice — "community primaries" distance note attached to an academy
-   (Elmhurst); say "non-faith primaries" or condition on policy field.
-9. Nice — "Improving since 2022" → "since 2022/23".
-10. Nice — England chart tooltips show decimals; §7 mandates whole
-    percents.
-
-## Residual gaps not covered by spec §8
-
-11. Spec promises IDACI-in-words, Attendance section, and tier-2
-    gender/absence that the mockups never show — mark post-v1 or
-    demonstrate, so implementation scope is unambiguous.
-12. Add official England scaled-score averages to the pipeline task
-    list.
-13. Add the writing/greater-depth terminology rule to §8.7.
-
-## Verdict
-
-All must-fixes genuinely resolved; the tier model is conceptually
-sound ("no measure is lost", honest dataset-gap breaks, grouped
-picker). Remaining issues are contained: one internal contradiction
-(80–120 vs 100–120), one provenance inconsistency, one terminology
-error (writing/GDS). With findings 1–3 and 6–7 addressed, the data
-framing is fit to put in front of parents.

-# Compare Screen Redesign — Audit & Design
-
-**Date:** 2026-07-11
-**Status:** Draft — awaiting review
-**Scope:** `/compare` page (nextjs-app), `/api/compare` endpoint (backend)
-
-## 1. Audit of the current screen
-
-The current compare page (`nextjs-app/components/ComparisonView.tsx`) is a
-single-metric analyst tool: a `<select>` with ~40 KS2/GCSE metrics, one
-line chart over time, and a year-by-year table — all for the one selected
-metric. Observed on production with 3 primary schools:
-
-**What works**
-
-- URL-shareable state (`?urns=…&metric=…`), native share sheet.
-- Phase tabs (primary/secondary) with sensible auto-detection.
-- Colour-coded school cards tied to chart series.
-- Metric descriptions from `/api/metrics` (single source of truth).
-
-**What doesn't**
-
-1. **Performance-only.** The database already holds Ofsted inspections,
-   admissions/oversubscription history, pupil characteristics (FSM/EAL),
-   SEN, deprivation (IDACI), finance, capacity, faith, gender, trust —
-   none of it reaches the compare screen. `/api/compare` returns only
-   `yearly_data` + minimal `school_info`, while `/api/schools/{urn}`
-   already returns all supplementary blocks.
-2. **One metric at a time.** A parent must know which of ~40 metrics
-   matters, select each in turn, and hold results in their head. There is
-   no side-by-side overview and no way to see two dimensions at once.
-3. **No benchmarks.** Numbers float without anchors: is 79% RWM good?
-   The DB has official national averages (`fact_ks2_national_averages`)
-   but the page never shows them.
-4. **Domain jargon untranslated.** "GPS Expected %", "Progress scores",
-   "RWM Combined" assume DfE literacy. The only plain-English help is one
-   note for progress scores.
-5. **Raw numbers, no judgement support.** 87.0% vs 92.0% vs 79.0% — the
-   page never says "all three are well above the England average of 62%",
-   which is the fact a parent actually needs.
-6. **Bugs/paper cuts observed:** the third school's series did not render
-   on the production chart despite table data (worth a separate fix);
-   the COVID gap (2018/19 → 2022/23) renders as equal spacing with no
-   annotation; table shows "87.0%" precision that implies false accuracy.
-
-## 2. Data inventory (available vs shown)
-
-| Domain | Source table | On detail page | On compare |
-|---|---|---|---|
-| KS2 attainment/progress | fact_ks2_performance | yes | **yes** (only thing shown) |
-| National averages | fact_ks2_national_averages | partial | no |
-| Ofsted (latest + subgrades + report-card fields) | fact_ofsted_inspection, dim_school | yes | no |
-| Admissions & oversubscription (multi-year) | fact_admissions | yes | no |
-| Pupil characteristics (FSM, EAL, gender split) | fact_pupil_characteristics | yes | no |
-| Context (SEN, disadvantaged, stability, absence) | fact_ks2_performance | via metric picker | buried in picker |
-| Deprivation (IDACI) | fact_deprivation | yes | no |
-| Finance (per-pupil spend) | fact_finance | yes | no |
-| School facts (capacity, faith, ages, trust, nursery, gender) | dim_school | yes | no |
-| Location/distance | dim_location | map | no |
-
-## 3. Design goals
-
-1. **Answer parent questions, in order:** Is it a good school (Ofsted)?
-   Do children do well there (academics vs England)? Will my child get a
-   place (admissions)? What is the school like (size, community, faith)?
-2. **Every number gets an anchor** — the England average, rendered as a
-   consistent visual tick, plus a plain-English chip
-   (Above / Close to / Below England average).
-3. **Plain English first, jargon on demand.** Labels are questions or
-   sentences ("Children reaching the expected standard in reading,
-   writing and maths"), codes/acronyms live in tooltips.
-4. **Scan whole-picture first, drill down second.** The single-metric
-   trend explorer survives, demoted to an "Explore trends" section at the
-   bottom rather than being the entire page.
-
-## 4. Proposed structure
-
-Columns = schools (max 4 visible on desktop, horizontal scroll beyond),
-rows = dimensions. Sticky compact school header keeps column identity
-while scrolling. Sections, in order:
-
-1. **At a glance** — verdict row per school: Ofsted badge, headline
-   attainment vs England (dot strip + chip), oversubscription chip,
-   size, distance (when a location is set).
-2. **Ofsted inspection** — must handle all three inspection regimes,
-   which will coexist in comparisons for years:
-   - **Legacy graded (pre-Sept 2024):** overall grade badge
-     (Outstanding/Good/Requires improvement/Inadequate). Subgrades,
-     where published, are rendered in the **same area-by-rating chip
-     list UX as report cards** (one row per judgement area, rating as
-     a chip) — one visual grammar for inspection detail across both
-     regimes. Where our dataset has no subgrades for an inspection,
-     say so honestly ("We don't hold area-by-area detail for this
-     inspection") and point to the school's Ofsted page — never claim
-     the inspection itself published no detail (graded inspections
-     always have subgrades; if it was ungraded, the grade is
-     carried forward and must be labelled as such).
-   - **Interim ungraded (Sept 2024 – Nov 2025):** parsed outcome
-     ("remains Good") shown as the effective grade, marked as such.
-   - **Renewed framework report card (from Nov 2025):** no overall
-     grade exists. Render the report card as an area-by-rating list
-     using Ofsted's 5-point scale (Exceptional / Strong standard /
-     Expected standard / Attention needed / Urgent improvement) across
-     the evaluation areas we model (`rc_inclusion`,
-     `rc_curriculum_teaching`, `rc_achievement`,
-     `rc_attendance_behaviour`, `rc_personal_development`,
-     `rc_leadership_governance`, `rc_early_years`, `rc_sixth_form`)
-     plus the separate safeguarding met/not-met flag. **At-a-glance
-     summary rule:** never an unlabelled colour strip — summarise by
-     counting areas per rating, best first ("5 areas Strong standard ·
-     3 areas Expected standard"), and always name any area rated
-     Attention needed or Urgent improvement explicitly (never fold
-     problems into a count), plus "Safeguarding not met" whenever that
-     flag is false. When everything is Expected standard or better,
-     add the reassurance line "No areas need attention".
-   When a comparison mixes regimes, show a one-line comparability note
-   ("Ofsted changed how it reports in Nov 2025 — a report card and an
-   older overall grade aren't directly comparable"). Never derive a
-   fake overall grade from report-card areas.
-3. **Academics (KS2)** — one dot-strip row per headline measure (RWM
-   expected, RWM higher, reading/writing/maths expected), each with the
-   England-average tick and per-school dots; copy must say "tests and
-   teacher assessments" (writing is TA, not a test). Progress scores
-   translated to Above/Average/Below chips (CI-based) — **but note KS2
-   progress measures ended with 2022/23** (no KS1 baseline afterwards)
-   and return only when the reception-baseline cohort reaches Y6
-   (~2027/28), so progress chips apply to historical years in the
-   trends explorer, not the headline view. Sparkline per school over
-   the full published period, with an honest gap for the cancelled
-   test years (2019/20–2020/21). Disadvantaged-pupils row under an
-   "Equity" subheading, always with cohort size shown and DfE's full
-   definition (FSM6 **or** looked-after/previously looked-after).
-4. **Getting a place** — oversubscription ratio as plain sentence
-   ("184 applications for 80 places"), first-preference success %, trend
-   vs last year, admissions policy.
-5. **Who goes there** — pupils on roll (vs capacity), boys/girls, FSM %,
-   EAL %, SEN support %, faith, ages, nursery, trust. *Post-v1:* IDACI
-   decile in words (needs a coverage check of `fact_deprivation` and
-   the neighbourhood-not-school caveat, §8.7).
-6. **Attendance** — *post-v1.* The KS2 test-day absence fields are the
-   only per-school absence data we hold; they're near-zero for most
-   schools and easy to misread as general attendance. Ship only if a
-   general-absence source lands.
-7. **Explore trends** (existing feature, collapsed) — metric picker +
-   multi-year line chart + table, with an added England-average
-   reference line and a COVID-gap annotation.
-
-**Metric exposure model (three tiers).** No measure from the current
-page is lost; they surface at three levels of prominence:
-- **Tier 1 — headline strips (always visible):** RWM expected,
-  reading/writing/maths expected, RWM higher standard.
-- **Tier 2 — "More measures" expansion inside Academics:** GPS and
-  science expected % (science labelled teacher-assessed), average
-  scaled scores (reading/maths/GPS, same dot-strip grammar showing
-  the 100–120 window of the 80–120 scale, widening below 100, with
-  the England tick) — one tap/click away, same visual language.
-  *Post-v1:* gender split and absence (see §4.6).
-- **Tier 3 — Explore trends:** the full grouped catalogue (the
-  current page's ~40 metrics, including equity and school-context
-  measures, and the GCSE set for secondary phase) drives the
-  year-by-year chart and table via the grouped metric picker.
-The tier assignment is a content decision per phase (secondary:
-Attainment 8, Progress 8 banding, grade 5+ English & maths as tier 1;
-EBacc and subject entries as tier 2).
-
-Finance (per-pupil spend) is deliberately deferred: low parent value,
-risk of misreading. Revisit later.
-
-**Mobile (design target — mobile first):** the desktop grid is the
-adaptation, not the other way round. On mobile the layout goes
-*measure-first*: each row is one measure with all schools listed under
-it (colour dot + short name + value + chip), so comparison never
-requires horizontal swiping between school cards. A sticky horizontal
-school-chip bar keeps identity and add/remove available while
-scrolling. Dot strips already read measure-first and carry over
-unchanged. The trend chart scrolls horizontally inside its container.
-
-## 5. Data strategy — existing dataset only
-
-Constraint (agreed 2026-07-11): use only data already in marts plus
-fields already present in the `raw` schema extracts we pull today.
-No new external sources.
-
-**Gaps in the mockup, resolved within this constraint:**
-
-| Mockup element | Resolution |
-|---|---|
-| England average for disadvantaged pupils | Compute from our own data: `stg_ees_ks2` already pivots the Disadvantaged breakdown per school; aggregate it (weighted by eligible pupils) into `fact_ks2_national_averages` or compute in the API. Label it "England average (state schools)". |
-| England context for FSM / EAL / SEN chips | Compute dataset-wide medians per phase, same pattern as `/api/national-averages` does for KS4. |
-| "Much larger than average" size label | Dataset median pupils-on-roll per phase. |
-| Ofsted link | We don't have deep links to the latest report, so always link to the school's Ofsted provider page, `https://reports.ofsted.gov.uk/provider/21/{urn}`, derived from URN (label it "the school's Ofsted page", not "the report"). |
-
-**Raw fields we already pull but don't store — promote to marts (one
-dbt/pipeline PR, no tap changes):**
-
-- `raw.ees_admissions`: 2nd/3rd preference applications and offers,
-  total-preference counts, cross-LA applications and offers → richer
-  "Getting a place" (e.g. "offers reached 2nd-choice families",
-  competition from outside the borough).
-- `raw.ees_ks2_attainment`: progress-measure confidence intervals and
-  "working towards" % → lets the Above/Average/Below progress chips be
-  statistically honest (band by CI overlap with 0, mirroring DfE
-  methodology) instead of thresholding the point estimate.
-- `raw.ees_ks4_performance` / `ees_ks4_info`: `progress8_banding`
-  (DfE's own plain-English "well above average … well below average"
-  label — exactly the chip we want for secondary), EBacc entry/APS,
-  grade-5+ English & maths, `attainment8_diffn`/`progress8_diffn`
-  (disadvantage gaps) → the secondary-phase version of the Academics
-  section.
-- `raw.ees_census`: young-carer % and the ethnicity breakdown →
-  optional "Who goes there" enrichment; hold for a later iteration
-  (presentation needs care), but the data requires no new extract.
-- `raw.ofsted_inspections` / tap-uk-ofsted: the `rc_*` report-card
-  columns exist in staging/marts but are stubbed `null` — the tap has a
-  TODO to map the report-card column names from the Ofsted MI file
-  (same monthly extract we already download; inspections from Nov 2025
-  onward carry them). This is the one promotion that needs a small tap
-  schema addition, and it's a prerequisite for the new-framework Ofsted
-  display above.
-
-Explicitly out (not in any current extract): school-level phonics,
-workforce/teacher data, per-school attendance beyond the KS2 test-day
-absence fields, Ofsted report-card documents themselves.
-
-## 6. API changes
-
-Extend `GET /api/compare` response per URN with the same supplementary
-blocks the detail endpoint already builds (`get_supplementary_data`):
-`ofsted`, `census`, `admissions` (+ `admissions_history`), `deprivation`,
-plus a top-level `national_averages` block for the latest year. Reuse the
-existing function; no new tables. Response stays backward-compatible
-(additive fields only). Add derived helper fields server-side or compute
-chips client-side from `national_averages` (client-side preferred — no
-schema churn).
-
-## 7. Accessibility & comprehension devices
-
-- Verdict chips are text + colour + position (never colour alone).
-- Every acronym has a tooltip using existing `MetricTooltip`.
-- "How to read this" one-liner at the top of each section.
-- Chart palette: coral `#e07256`, teal `#00949b`, purple `#8664c9`
-  (validated: lightness band, chroma, CVD separation, contrast — the
-  current `--chart-2/-4` tokens fail chroma/contrast checks and should
-  be nudged to these).
-- Numbers rounded to whole percents; England tick labelled on first use.
-
-## 8. Expert-review requirements
-
-An adversarial review by an education-data expert (full findings in
-`2026-07-11-compare-screen-expert-review.md`) was applied to the
-mockups on 2026-07-12. The following are binding requirements for
-implementation, beyond what the mockups can show:
-
-1. **Chart truthfulness:** KS2 tests were cancelled 2019/20–2020/21
-   only. **2021/22 school-level figures are a permanent source gap** —
-   DfE stated it would not publish KS2 2021/22 in performance tables
-   (verified 2026-07-12 against EES, the CSP download service, and
-   DfE release notes; see `# TASK 6 VERIFICATION` in
-   `pipeline/scripts/diagnose_compare_gaps.py`). The chart's England-
-   only 2021/22 point with broken school lines is therefore the
-   correct permanent rendering; copy should say "DfE didn't publish
-   school-level figures for 2021/22", not "not in our dataset yet".
-   The 2015/16 national figure and the GPS/science/scaled-score
-   England averages ARE loadable (mapping already correct; refreshed
-   raw extract backfills them). Never render missing years as if time
-   were continuous.
-2. **Report-card summaries** count graded areas only — safeguarding is
-   a separate binary flag, never included in rating counts.
-3. **Admissions:** use the real preference-breakdown fields from
-   `raw.ees_admissions`; never derive "lower-preference offers" as
-   places − first-preference offers. Frame total applications as
-   "named on N forms" (any rank), lead with first-preference success,
-   and standardise at-a-glance chips on that one metric. Explain the
-   equal-preference rule; caveat offers vs final intake (waiting
-   lists/appeals); condition "distance decides" on the school's actual
-   oversubscription criteria where we have the admissions-policy field.
-4. **Ofsted:** overall grades ended September 2024 (report cards from
-   November 2025); the interim regime must be renderable. Distinguish
-   graded (s5) vs ungraded (s8) inspections and surface carried-forward
-   grades as such; "we don't hold the detail" is a statement about our
-   dataset, never about the inspection. Verify every scale/area label
-   against Ofsted's final published toolkit before launch (e.g. "Needs
-   attention" vs "Attention needed"; "Personal development and
-   well-being" vs the identically-named legacy judgement). Check
-   whether a school's latest inspection is merely its latest *graded*
-   one. Confirm Early years provision subgrades flow through the
-   pipeline for schools with nurseries.
-5. **Subgroup honesty:** disadvantaged-pupil percentages carry cohort
-   sizes and follow the DfE suppression rule (≤5 pupils suppressed);
-   state the rule verbatim in the footer.
-6. **Benchmark provenance:** official DfE figures and
-   dataset-computed benchmarks must be labelled distinctly and
-   consistently everywhere (a computed median is a "benchmark",
-   not an "England average").
-7. **Copy details:** "Latest Ofsted inspection" (not "Ofsted rating");
-   "EHC plans"; SEN-support benchmark ≈14%; high SEN share may
-   indicate resourced provision (say so neutrally); "at or above
-   capacity" rather than "full" (capacity data is often stale);
-   disambiguate Ofsted's "Expected standard" from the KS2 measure;
-   give official terms ("first preference") alongside plain English.
-   Writing has no "higher standard" — its TA outcome is "greater
-   depth (GDS)"; never list writing under a higher-standard group.
-   Science and writing are teacher-assessed and must be labelled as
-   such (no KS2 science test since 2009). House style for benchmark
-   provenance: official DfE figures say "England average"; computed
-   figures say "state-school average (computed from our dataset)" —
-   applied to every chip, tooltip, header note and section intro.
-   EAL uses the census wording: first language known or believed to
-   be other than English. If IDACI ships, caveat that it describes
-   pupils' home neighbourhoods, not the school.
-
-## 9. Rollout
-
-1. **PR 1 (backend):** extend `/api/compare` + tests.
-2. **PR 2 (frontend):** new compare layout behind the existing route;
-   e2e journey updated in the same PR (promotion gate).
-3. **Fix separately:** missing third series on the current chart.
-
-## 10. Open questions for review
-
-- Max schools: keep 10 in API but cap visible columns at 4 with scroll?
-- Should distance-from-home appear when the user searched by postcode
-  (data exists via `dim_location`)?
-- Keep finance out of v1? (Recommended: yes, out.)

-# FINDINGS 2026-07-12: run via
-#   uv run --with singer-sdk --with pandas --with requests \
-#       python pipeline/scripts/diagnose_compare_gaps.py
-#
-# (a) National catalogue CSV (GPS/science) — NOT a source-data problem.
-#     pt_gps_exp, pt_scita_exp, avg_readscore, avg_matscore, avg_gpsscore are
-#     all PRESENT in the catalogue CSV and hold real numeric values for the
-#     latest national row (time_period 202425: pt_gps_exp='72.6' ->
-#     gps_expected_pct; pt_scita_exp='81.6' -> science_expected_pct).
-#     national time_periods present: 201516, 201617, 201718, 201819, 201920,
-#     202021, 202122, 202223, 202324, 202425 (COVID years 201920/202021 are
-#     present as rows but suppressed with 'x' per the module docstring, not
-#     absent). So _KS2_NATIONAL_COL_MAP is correct and the extractor's own
-#     read of the source is fine end-to-end -- the NULLs in
-#     marts.fact_ks2_national_averages are NOT caused by a missing/renamed
-#     source column. The gap must be introduced downstream of the tap
-#     (staging/mart SQL, a stale/incomplete load, or a dbt model not
-#     selecting these two columns) -- Task 5/6 should look at the dbt
-#     staging model for ees_ks2_national and the mart definition, not the
-#     tap/column-map.
-#
-# (b) EES KS2 attainment (school-level, "key-stage-2-attainment" publication)
-#     releases found (via get_all_releases): [None, '202425', '202324',
-#     '202223', '202122']. The `None` entry is the *current/latest* release
-#     (its slug doesn't parse to a 6-digit time_period by _slug_to_time_period,
-#     but the CSV inside carries time_period='202425' -- same data as the
-#     202425-labelled release).
-#
-#     Only two of the four releases contain a school-level attainment CSV
-#     matching "ks2_school_attainment_data*.csv":
-#       - release None (latest):  HAS IT -> time_periods=['202425']
-#           subjects=['Grammar, punctuation and spelling', 'Maths', 'Reading',
-#                      'Reading, writing and maths', 'Science', 'Writing']
-#       - release 202324:         HAS IT -> time_periods=['202324']
-#           subjects= same 6 labels as above
-#       - release 202223:         NO school attainment CSV in ZIP. This
-#           release's ZIP instead contains only LA/regional/national/MAT-level
-#           files (e.g. ks2_regional_and_local_authority_*, ks2_multi_academy
-#           _trusts_*, ks2_national_*); no data/*school*attainment*.csv file
-#           exists at all in this release's package. This CONFIRMS the
-#           "subject-level 2022/23 is NULL in prod" symptom: the source
-#           release literally does not publish a school-level attainment file
-#           for 202223 under this filename pattern -- it's not a tap bug.
-#       - release 202122:         NO school attainment CSV in ZIP. Same
-#           situation: ZIP has only LA/regional/national-level files (e.g.
-#           ks2_regional_and_local_authority_2016_to_2022_revised.csv,
-#           ks2_national_school_characteristics_2016_to_2022_revised.csv);
-#           no school-level attainment CSV present. This CONFIRMS "school-level
-#           2021/22 is absent" -- again a genuine source-data absence, not an
-#           extractor bug.
-#     Implication for Tasks 5/6/7: 202122 and 202223 school-level attainment
-#     cannot be backfilled from the "key-stage-2-attainment" EES publication
-#     via this filename pattern -- those two years must either be sourced
-#     from a different EES dataset/file (e.g. one of the *_school_location_
-#     and_pupil_characteristics or *_school_type_and_pupil_characteristics
-#     files present in those ZIPs, which may carry school-level rows under a
-#     different filename), left NULL with an explicit "source unavailable"
-#     note, or backfilled from the legacy DfE "Compare School Performance"
-#     wide-format CSVs referenced elsewhere in tap.py. Subject labels to use
-#     when a source *is* found for 202324/202425:
-#       'Grammar, punctuation and spelling', 'Maths', 'Reading',
-#       'Reading, writing and maths', 'Science', 'Writing'
-#     (Reading, writing and maths spans reading+writing+maths combined --
-#     this is the RWM row.)
-#
-# (c) Ofsted MI CSV (report-card columns) — confirmed PRESENT.
-#     discover_csv_url() resolved to (as at run time, latest inspections
-#     31 May 2026):
-#       https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/6a27c45be13080622db38815/
-#       Management_information_-_state-funded_schools_-_latest_inspections_as_at_31_May_2026.csv
-#     This is a real .csv (not .ods) so section (c) ran to completion.
-#     Exact report-card column headers (7 grade columns + their paired date
-#     columns, all present verbatim, case/spacing exactly as below):
-#       'Safeguarding standards'                 / 'Safeguarding standards - date of grade'
-#       'Inclusion'                               / 'Inclusion - date of grade'
-#       'Curriculum and teaching'                 / 'Curriculum and teaching - date of grade'
-#       'Achievement'                             / 'Achievement - date of grade'
-#       'Attendance and behaviour'                / 'Attendance and behaviour - date of grade'
-#       'Personal development and wellbeing'      / 'Personal development and wellbeing - date of grade'
-#       'Leadership and governance'               / 'Leadership and governance - date of grade'
-#     Plus a related pass/fail-style field:
-#       'Latest OEIF  safeguarding is effective?' (note: double space in the
-#       header, verbatim from source -- preserve exactly when mapping)
-#     These are the new-style "report card" single-word-area grades
-#     (introduced alongside the "Attendance and behaviour" split from
-#     "Personal development"); they coexist in the same CSV with the legacy
-#     5-judgement OEIF columns ('Latest OEIF overall effectiveness',
-#     'Latest OEIF quality of education', 'Latest OEIF behaviour and
-#     attitudes', 'Latest OEIF personal development', 'Latest OEIF
-#     effectiveness of leadership and management'). Task 7 should map the 7
-#     report-card columns above (grade + date pairs, 6 of them, plus the
-#     safeguarding-effective flag) rather than inventing new column names.
-
-# TASK 6 VERIFICATION 2026-07-12: 2021/22 legacy KS2 school-level archive
-#
-# RESULT: BLOCKED at the source-data level. School-level KS2 attainment for
-# academic year 2021/22 was never published anywhere publicly by DfE -- not
-# in EES (confirmed by Task 1's finding (b) above), not in the legacy
-# "Compare School Performance" download wizard, and not as a standalone
-# performance-tables archive/ODS on assets.publishing.service.gov.uk. This
-# is a deliberate DfE decision, not a gap in our extraction logic.
-#
-# Confirming quote (Key stage 2 attainment 2021/22 release notes, via
-# https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/find-statistics/
-# key-stage-2-attainment/2021-22):
-#   "We will not publish key stage 2 data for academic year 2021/22 in
-#   performance tables (also known as Compare School and College
-#   Performance)." ... "The Department will, however, still produce the
-#   normal suite of key stage 2 accountability measures at school and
-#   multi-academy trust level and share these securely with primary
-#   schools, academy trusts and local authorities to inform school
-#   improvement discussions."
-# (i.e. school-level 202122 KS2 results exist internally at DfE but were
-# withheld from every public channel: performance tables/CSCP, EES, and by
-# extension the legacy DfE archives the current legacy_ks2_urls entries in
-# meltano.yml were sourced from.)
-#
-# What was tried:
-#  1. Direct download URL pattern from the task brief:
-#       https://www.compare-school-performance.service.gov.uk/download-data?download=true&regions=0&filters=KS2&fileformat=csv&year=2021-2022&meta=false
-#     -> HTTP 404, HTML error page (not a CSV/ZIP). Saved response inspected;
-#     confirmed 404 via response headers (`content-type: text/html`).
-#  2. Walked the actual multi-step download wizard at
-#     https://www.compare-school-performance.service.gov.uk/download-data
-#     with a browser User-Agent and a cookie jar, replicating the GET-based
-#     form steps: currentstep=year (downloadYear=2021-2022) -> currentstep=
-#     region (regiontype=all&la=0) -> currentstep=datatypes. On the final
-#     "datatypes" step, the checkbox list for 2021-2022 has NO "ks2" (or
-#     "ks2mats") option at all -- only ks4/ks4prov/ks4underlying/ks5* /
-#     pupil-destination/absence/census/mats checkboxes are present.
-#     Control check: repeating the same wizard walk for downloadYear=
-#     2018-2019, 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 shows a "ks2" (and "ks2mats")
-#     checkbox present in all three; downloadYear=2020-2021 (COVID-cancelled
-#     KS2 SATs year) also has NO ks2 checkbox, matching the pattern for a
-#     year where school-level KS2 genuinely isn't published. 2021-2022
-#     behaves identically to the cancelled 2020-2021 year, not like the
-#     normal 2018-2019/2022-2023/2023-2024 years.
-#  3. Web search for a standalone KS2 2022 performance-tables archive
-#     (e.g. "england_ks2final" for 2022) on assets.publishing.service.gov.uk
-#     found no such file; only unrelated 2022/2023-dated documents.
-#
-#  No ZIP was ever obtained -- /tmp/dfe-2021-2022-ks2.zip contains the 404
-#  HTML error page from attempt (1) above, not a real archive. It contains
-#  no england_ks2final.csv (there is no ZIP to look inside).
-#
-# Column-map check (brief's Step 1): NOT RUN -- there is no 2021/22
-# england_ks2final.csv to check headers against. This is moot until/unless
-# a non-public source (e.g. a manual/internal DfE extract) becomes
-# available; _LEGACY_KS2_COLUMN_MAP itself is unchanged and untested here.
-#
-# Recommendation: mark 202122 school-level KS2 as a genuine, permanent
-# source-data gap (not a backfill candidate) unless the project can obtain
-# the internal DfE extract DfE says it shared "securely with primary
-# schools, academy trusts and local authorities" -- that is not a route
-# available to this pipeline. Task 6's meltano.yml change (Step 2) and the
-# filebrowser upload should NOT proceed for 202122; there is nothing to
-# upload.
-
-# TASK 7 VALUE SAMPLE 2026-07-12: live value_counts() over the 7 report-card
-# columns (plus the related safeguarding-effective flag) in the same MI CSV
-# resolved by discover_csv_url() as at run time (31 May 2026 inspections
-# file). Blank cells read as the literal string 'NULL' (matches
-# keep_default_na=False in tap.py). Observed non-blank values, verbatim:
-#
-#   'Safeguarding standards':                 'Met' (1319), 'Not met' (10)
-#   'Inclusion':                               'Expected standard' (710),
-#       'Strong standard' (447), 'Needs attention' (130), 'Exceptional' (23),
-#       'Urgent improvement' (19)
-#   'Curriculum and teaching':                 'Expected standard' (797),
-#       'Needs attention' (287), 'Strong standard' (206),
-#       'Urgent improvement' (28), 'Exceptional' (11)
-#   'Achievement':                             'Expected standard' (701),
-#       'Needs attention' (364), 'Strong standard' (207),
-#       'Urgent improvement' (39), 'Exceptional' (18)
-#   'Attendance and behaviour':                'Expected standard' (699),
-#       'Strong standard' (405), 'Needs attention' (188),
-#       'Urgent improvement' (21), 'Exceptional' (16)
-#   'Personal development and wellbeing':      'Expected standard' (728),
-#       'Strong standard' (504), 'Needs attention' (66), 'Exceptional' (23),
-#       'Urgent improvement' (8)
-#   'Leadership and governance':               'Expected standard' (813),
-#       'Strong standard' (292), 'Needs attention' (172),
-#       'Urgent improvement' (34), 'Exceptional' (18)
-#   'Latest OEIF  safeguarding is effective?' (note double space, not used by
-#   Task 7 -- kept for completeness): 'Yes' (12970), 'No' (96)
-#
-# So the 6 graded report-card columns share exactly one 5-value vocabulary:
-# {'Exceptional', 'Strong standard', 'Expected standard', 'Needs attention',
-# 'Urgent improvement'} -- no 'Attention needed' variant was observed
-# anywhere, so parse_report_card_grade.sql does NOT need that speculative
-# branch from the task brief. 'Safeguarding standards' is a separate
-# two-value vocabulary {'Met', 'Not met'}.
-#
-# Collision check: 'Achievement' matches by EXACT list-membership
-# (`candidate in df_columns`, a Python list containment check against the
-# full column-name list, not a substring/regex match) against only
-# ['Achievement', 'Achievement - date of grade'] -- the date-paired column
-# has a different exact string and is never selected. Same check for
-# 'Safeguarding standards' found only itself, its own date-of-grade column,
-# and the unrelated 'Latest OEIF  safeguarding is effective?' column (not
-# mapped to any rc_* field). No legacy OEIF column is accidentally consumed
-# by an rc_ mapping.
