About this dataset
Update Script Maintenance Report
Date: 2026-03-04
- Root cause: repository had no executable updater automation even though stable source CSV URLs are documented.
- Fixes made: added
scripts/update.pyto syncathletes.csvandevents.csvfrom upstream raw GitHub URLs with header-shape guardrails. - Automation: added first scheduled/manual workflow with explicit
permissions: contents: writeand commit-if-changed behavior. - Validation: ran updater locally and verified output schema remained consistent with existing files.
