checking

The 2024 record, census rounds: every row of that year read against the source, round after round, until a round comes back clean. Faults are rows found wrong or missing. 365 in round 1 (8 October 2026), 0 in round 5 (10 October 2026). The rounds read 1,334, 1,501, 1,501, 194, 1,501 rows.
