What building it taught us

The connector's own docstring, verbatim. It lives beside the code so it cannot drift from it.

Hong Kong's monthly Composite CPI and complete native classification history.

Original E501 exports, monthly reports and basket annexes retain their own source identities and reference boundaries. No local splicing or rebasing.
