What is wrong with this data (7)
- The workbooks carry no publisher line of their own; attribution rests on the download page in source.url.
- 'Others' rows are unallocated residuals, not places; they carry kind = 'residual'.
- Columns named TOTAL… or OTHER… are aggregates of the columns beside them, not crops. They are kept for the additivity check and carry kind != 'crop': ['OTHER FRUITS', 'TOTAL CITRUS', 'TOTAL FRUITS'].
- Union Territories ARE included, from each workbook's separate UT sheet, and carry kind = 'ut'.
- State naming drifts between releases (Chhatisgarh/Chhattisgarh, Arunchal/Arunachal Pradesh). Normalise via the region registry before joining years — do not join on the raw string.
- A crop absent in one year's sheet is simply absent — it is not a zero.
- Potato is included. It was previously excluded so it could live only in indianpotato-web; that rule was reversed on 2026-09-14.
