| |
| ## Known gaps |
| |
| Official Uganda law PDFs from parliament.go.ug, judiciary.go.ug, ulrc.go.ug, mog.go.ug and related *.go.ug hosts. Live-first; Wayback/CDX of official *.go.ug URLs on fail. Not ULII as gazette source. Not AfricanLII. No WAF bypass. Not legal advice. |
| |
| |
| ## Update 2026-10-10 |
| |
| Additive merge: 1 new instruments (0 new article rows) from the official-source local corpus (`scrapers/collect_ug.py`); all 126 previously published instrument rows and 7166 article rows are carried verbatim (no removals; merge is by instrument id with URL/text de-duplication). Quality gate dropped non-legislative / garbled / duplicate local files (see MANIFEST). Instruments with no source article split were split on language-specific article headings (backend `article_repair_aae`). |
