history: add Uganda 1902 first-ban article from Hobley ethnography

367-word article on the 1902 blanket production ban against the household-cultivation customs Hobley's survey recorded the same year (gourd pipes, gender and age rules, Nandi abstention), with the ban's long afterlife through the 2015 Act and 2023 nullification. Hobley cited throughout; Wikipedia only for ban wording, local names and modern tail.

+# Uganda 1902: first article from the Hobley ethnography
+
+Research checked on 27 October 2026. Read `DATA-MAINTENANCE.md`,
+`WRITING.md` (article shape, citations, links), the Uganda timeline, the
+entry, the Hobley 1902 text (downloaded from archive.org, read all bhang
+passages), and the Wikipedia lead (local names, 2015 Act, 2023
+nullification). No entries, scores or profiles changed.
+
+## What changed
+
+- New `articles/uganda-ban-1902.md` (367 words, three sections): the 1902
+  blanket production ban against Hobley's household-cultivation ethnography
+  (gourd water-pipes, gender and age rules, Nandi abstention, tobacco
+  pairing), the njaga/shada local names, and the long afterlife through the
+  2015 Act and its 2023 nullification, linking both entries and the Uganda
+  profile. Hobley cited throughout; Wikipedia only for the ban wording, the
+  local names and the modern tail.
+
+## Sources actually read
+
+- Charles William Hobley, *Eastern Uganda, an Ethnological Survey*
+  (Anthropological Institute, 1902), archive.org djvu text: tobacco and bhang
+  grown for home consumption; hubble-bubble gourd pipes; men and unmarried
+  women smoke, married women stop; young fighting men barred; Nandi grow
+  nothing and smoke nothing.
+- Wikipedia "Cannabis in Uganda" lead and 1902 passage: ban wording (bhang,
+  ganja, charas), njaga/shada, 2015 Act, 2023 nullification. The BFSP vol. 95
+  ordinance text behind the ban remains unread (see the Finland/Uganda/Austria
+  note of the same day).
+
+## Validation and tree note
+
+- `history:test` 40/40, `answers:test` 40/40, `books:check` agrees,
+  production build 4371 pages complete, chain `ug` clean (1902 100→9).
+  New article file only; `changes.yaml` untouched this round.
