Update Script Maintenance Report

Date: 2026-03-04

Ran updater: python population_estimates_flow.py.
Root cause: upstream UN source URL in pipeline currently returns HTTP 404.
Fixes made:
- Added first monthly + manual GitHub Actions workflow with contents: write and reproducible dataflows install.
- Kept existing pipeline logic unchanged to avoid introducing unverified source migrations.
Validation summary: updater invocation is wired in automation; data refresh remains blocked by upstream endpoint availability.
