Object-level data validations

Schemas can now declare object-level validations — freshness and missing-data checks, plus foreign-key and unique-key toggles — through the new objectValidations field. See Object-level validations.

Historical data ingestion

The Historical data ingestion reference script for one-shot bulk loads has been expanded based on field experience:

• Multi-table single run — load every table in your solution in one invocation, in foreign-key dependency order, instead of running the script once per table.
• Run modes — a --mode historical (APPEND, parallel) or --mode daily (UPSERT, serial) switch, plus --table to load a single table and --dry-run to validate files without writing.
• Wider null and encoding handling — NULL, NA, and N/A are recognized as null (case-insensitively) alongside empty strings and \N, and non-UTF-8 exports are decoded via a utf-8-sig → cp1252 → latin-1 fallback.
• Consolidated failed-row report — rejected rows are written both to a crash-safe log and to a single JSON file per table for quick triage.
• Post-run archive — an optional --archive flag moves loaded files into a dated archive folder once each table completes.
