What building it taught us

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

Saudi Arabia CPI from the General Authority for Statistics (GASTAT).

GASTAT's current bilingual workbook publishes one officially reconstructed, chain-linked 2023-reference family from January 2013. The national time series carries 180 stable COICOP-2018 source codes; the current regional tables publish the same hierarchy through level 2 for all thirteen administrative regions, while the regional headline has complete history. Deeper workbook rows have no source code and are archived but deliberately not assigned a public series identity.

Earlier fixed-base cost-of-living publications remain discoverable in GASTAT's archive. They are not spliced into the reconstructed current family.
