Read `DATA-MAINTENANCE.md`, the Aruba +entries with the profile, the Curaçao and Sint Maarten 1929 twin entries +and the consolidation sources before editing. No `changes.yaml` entry was +corrected or re-scored apart from the replacement; no profiles, scores or +other timelines changed. + +## What changed + +- Replaced `aw-first-restriction-estimate` (window [1928,1960]) with + `aruba-first-drug-ordinance-1929` (1929-07-30, ban, scored, before FREE), + mirroring the committed Curaçao/Sint Maarten 1929 pass. Chain is now + 1929 100→21, 2025 21→24, 0 flagged steps. Estimated first bans 60→59. +- No article added: the twin islands' articles were handled in the earlier + pass; Aruba's 1929 event carries the same ordinance text. + +## Sources actually read + +- CVDR/1718/1 consolidation notes (Dutch original, via repository. + officiele-overheidspublicaties.nl): the 1960 Opium Ordinance replaces + the ordinance of 30 July 1929 (P.B. 1940, no. 138) on opium and other + narcotics; the regulation is of the Nederlandse Antillen. +- Overheid.nl CVDR142115 commencement history: the 1960 original signed + 28 March 1960 (P.B. 1960, no. 65), in force 1 June 1964 under decree of + 29 April 1964. +- English Wikipedia "Netherlands Antilles" (API extract): the Antilles + (1954–2010) comprised Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao, Saba, Sint Eustatius and + Sint Maarten as successor of the Dutch colony of Curaçao and + Dependencies, with Aruba leaving in 1986 — the scope clause only. + +## Scope reasoning + +The 1929 ordinance was colony-wide (colony gazette P.B.), and Aruba was +part of the colony until 1986. No Aruba-specific application instrument +was needed: the same inheritance covers Curaçao and Sint Maarten in the +twin entries. + +## Not done here + +- No Aruba 1960/1964 replacement entry: the 1990 Aruba consolidation's OCR + is unusable for lineage and the 2012 amendment text recites no 1929/1960 + ancestry, so an Aruba-specific commencement claim would be unverified. + The 1960 replacement is already documented in the entry via the official + consolidation notes. +- The old estimate's "Netherlands banned trade in Indian hemp in 1928" + clause was dropped with it, matching the twin pass (no read source was + found for a metropolitan 1928 hemp-trade ban). + +## Validation and tree note + +- `node scripts/data-status.cjs chain aw`: 1929 100→21, 2025 21→24, 0 + flagged. Estimates list no longer contains `aw`. +- `npm run history:test`: 40 pass, 0 fail. `npm run answers:test`: 40 + pass, 0 fail. Production build: 4,352 pages, complete. +- Commit stages only the changes.yaml replacement hunk plus this note, via + patch filtering. Foreign work in the shared tree is excluded and + preserved.
