Transformations
- Read from the Business rows downloaded for parl-business (scripts/fetch/parl-business.ts, `loadBusinessSources`, one download per run).
- kind = type (code BusinessType, names BusinessTypeName) or status (code BusinessStatus, names BusinessStatusText); name_de/fr/it as published (whitespace squished only).
- kind = tag (added 2026-11-01 for PROB-04) — the Curia Vista subject tags (Sachbereiche) of the items, code from Business.Tags and name from Business.TagNames (both "|"-separated lists, the n-th name belongs to the n-th code); a row whose two lists differ in length fails the fetch. The same 28 codes and names are listed by the service's Tags entity.
- A code published with two names in one language keeps the more frequent one and is reported as a warning in the nightly summary.
- Rows sorted by kind, code.
