The location tables carried one column: a percentage. A parent shortlisting from a town page is asking a different question first — does it take my child's age, is it a faith school, does it have a nursery — and the page could not answer any of it. Primary tables gain Ages, Religious character, Nursery and Constituency; secondary tables the same minus Nursery, which is a question about a different intake. An all-through school renders in both groups, so its nursery shows under primary alone. The measure moves to the second column rather than the last. Six columns overflow a phone and .tableWrap turns that into a horizontal swipe; with the measure last, the one number the page exists for is the one scrolled off the screen. Cell rules are the ones the school page already uses, so the two surfaces cannot disagree about the same school: "Does not apply", "None" and "Not applicable" all read as no religious character, and the en-dash age normalisation moves into formatAgeSpan, which formatAgeRange now delegates to. Backend: nursery_provision and parliamentary_constituency were not in the place response. Both are optional GIAS mart columns that data_loader degrades to NULL, and the `in rows.columns` guard keeps a mart the pipeline has not rebuilt working. Also fixes a live bug on the same line: SCHOOL_COLUMNS already ends with latitude and longitude, and the endpoint concatenated them again, so pandas dropped one of every duplicated pair and warned "columns are not unique" on each request. Ordered de-duplication removes the warning and the silent drop. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01FuPUioHpxtaiDNagQvjxyM
