Update Script Maintenance Report

Date: 2026-03-03

Investigated local updater setup failure caused by strict dependency pinning on this runtime.
Updated scripts/requirements.txt to use compatible ranges:
- xlrd>=2.0.1
- pandas>=2.2.3,<3.1
Updated scripts/process.py to gracefully skip PDF merge when upstream PDF endpoint serves non-PDF content.
Executed updater (python scripts/process.py) and refreshed monthly/annual data from XLS sources while safely skipping blocked PDF merge.
This improves cross-environment install reliability and prevents hard failures from upstream PDF source changes.
