v0.9.0 - RBA and ABS Catalogue Correctness

[AnthonyPuggs]

Catalogue Correctness Release

The curated RBA and ABS catalogues were audited against the live upstream sources for the first time since the initial seed. Nineteen listed RBA entries pointed to tables that had been renumbered or consolidated by the RBA, and several ABS entries were mislabelled or had been ceased by the ABS.

Changed

• Relabelled RBA catalogue entries to match the current RBA statistical tables index. Affected IDs: a1, a3, c7, c9, d4, d14, e13, f3, f4, f7, f8, f11, f12, g4, h2, h4, i2, i3, i4. Callers resolving these IDs will now receive data that matches the entry's name field; previously they silently received a different table's contents.
• Updated ABS living cost catalogue labelling around "Selected Living Cost Indexes" (the dataflow the ID actually resolves to upstream), with new variants for employee, age-pensioner, self-funded retiree, other-transfer, and pensioner-beneficiary household types.

Added

• upstream_id field on ABS catalogue entries. This decouples the ergonomic catalogue key from the real SDMX dataflow ID. Entries without upstream_id continue to pass their key straight through, so all existing entries keep working unchanged.
• csv_path field on RBA catalogue entries. This lets an entry override the default {id}-data.csv URL pattern for tables whose CSV path does not follow that convention.
• resolve_abs_dataflow_id / resolve_rba_csv_path helpers in catalogue/resolver.py, wired into AuseconService so every ABS and RBA retrieval goes through the mapping layer before hitting the provider.
• discontinued: true flag support on ABS catalogue entries, mirroring the existing RBA convention. search_catalogue now suppresses ceased entries by default. Marked ceased: CPI_M, RT, RPPI, BUSINESS_TURNOVER.
• docs/coverage-audit-2026-04.md, a one-off audit record documenting every existing entry's status against the live upstream.

Fixed

• Search results no longer surface ABS dataflows that the ABS has ceased publishing.
