history(cw,sx): replace 1928 estimates with dated 1929 drug ordinance
Replaces the cw/sx first-restriction estimates (window 1928-1960) with the Netherlands Antilles ordinance of 30 July 1929 on opium and other narcotics, verified against the 1960 consolidation's replacement notes and the commencement history. Chains sharpen to 1929 100->25 (CW) and 1929 100->24 (SX); estimated first bans fall 62->60. The 2018 joint prosecution guideline was read in Dutch and corroborates the checked tolerance entries. Triage 1 scored 0 open each; history 39/39, answers 27/27 pass; build renders 4248 pages.
