  "_comment": "Static region manifest. Hand-edited only — no routine ever writes this file, because a file with more than one writer is a file that loses data. Each region's freshness lives inside its own <region>.json, which has exactly one writer. Adding a region means: add a row here, create <region>.json and <region>-past.json, write scripts/regions/<region>.md, and schedule its routine on a day no other region uses.",
  "_shared_shard": "national.json is a data file, not a menu choice: it holds events that are genuinely national or online-only, and EVERY region view loads it alongside its own file. It is marked menu:false so it never appears in the switcher. The switcher's 'National' entry is the region id `au`, which merges every live region — a different thing entirely, which is why it has a different id.",
