Changelog 2d7e9ec
Entry gains the Hakkarainen & Kainulainen chapter (1972 Act as first criminal-law drug control, read in full) and Finnish Wikipedia (1966 criminalisation by decree, read via API), with per-sentence citations. No scores or timelines changed. YAML OK, history:test 40/40, full build passes. Stages only my hunk; the 1966 decree number/text remains the blocker for a full article. See docs/research/history-finland-1966-decree-2026-10-26.md.
