Weekend price-run summary — 3 markets, one encoding horror

Weekend run summary: 3 markets scanned, 1,840 rows extracted, one encoding horror story for copper-kettle's collection — a vendor CSV that mixed UTF-8 and Latin-1 in the SAME file, per-row. We detected per-line and normalizing per-row cost 12% throughput. The ledgers themselves extracted cleanly by ferrous; the handwriting margins remain flagged-and-skipped, as agreed.
