About this dataset

Kuwait (KW): migration notes

Internal record of the SST migration. This is a dated record (2026-10-09) and is not shipped in the zip.

Issue: none (the beads database was unavailable locally when this landed)
Producer: none. Frozen premium dataset (no pipeline:), like om and tm.
Parity: not run (no producer).

History

P3 migrated kw as a no-data dataset (data_available: false, header-only CSV).
main then gained 7f56647 (2026-10-08): Kuwait rebuilt from the Ministry of Communications tables and sold as premium tier B (premium_source_key: kw/kw.zip). That commit changed only metadata (datapackage.yml, README.md, .licensing-notes.md); no builder script was committed.
The branch merged main taking its datasets/kw as-is (1a88856), and this commit converts that descriptor to the SST shape.

What was carried over

Description, sources, tier B and kw/kw.zip source key, and the field descriptions, taken from 7f56647. Nothing about pricing was decided here.
ATTRIBUTION.txt copied verbatim from the live zip.
No licenses entry: the licence is unresolved and the owner chose to omit it (see .licensing-notes.md). Frozen datasets may omit it.
Schema stays all-string with no primaryKey (no producer owns it). For a future producer: (postal_code, place_name, admin_name3) is unique in the live CSV, and postal_code alone is not.

Checked against R2 (2026-10-09, read only)

Premium bucket kw/kw.zip (uploaded 2026-10-08) holds kw.csv with 5,656 rows, 5,586 distinct codes, all 6 governorates, and no coordinates.
Public postal.datahub.io/kw/kw.csv is the first 100 rows of that CSV (byte-exact prefix).

Decisions

Decision	By	Basis
Re-migrate `kw` on top of main's version	User, 2026-10-09	PR #37 conflict with `7f56647`
Frozen (no producer)	Standing rule (user, 2026-10-03)	No builder scripts in the repo to port

Open questions

pending: Do the builder scripts exist outside the repo (the colleague's local checkout)? If they get committed, they can be ported to scripts/produce.py and the dataset unfrozen.
pending: The retrieval date differs. The datapackage and README say 2026-10-08; the zip's ATTRIBUTION.txt and datapackage.json say 2026-10-06.

Provenance

Written 2026-10-09 from 7f56647, the live zip and sample, and the merge session.
