+# plates/_decode/hr-cities.yml — Croatian registracijska područja (registration areas).
+#
+# THE SOURCE FINDING, and it is the Anlage-5d case rather than the German one:
+# THE CODE LIST IS IN THE REGULATION. Članak 52. stavak 2. of the Pravilnik o
+# registraciji i označavanju vozila (NN 130/2017), verbatim: "Popis oznaka
+# registracijskih područja nalazi se u Prilogu 1. koji je tiskan uz ovaj
+# Pravilnik i njegov je sastavni dio." Prilog 1 is a closed, primary, 34-row
+# table printed inside the pravilnik, listing for each two-letter code the
+# gradovi (towns) and općine (municipalities) it covers. Every row below is
+# extracted MECHANICALLY from that annex as published on
+# narodne-novine.nn.hr — not transcribed by hand and not taken from any
+# secondary compilation.
+#
+# THIRTY-FOUR CODES, not the "36+" that circulates on the enthusiast web. The
+# annex numbers them 1-34 and the `annex_no` field preserves that numbering.
+#
+# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+# THE CAVEAT THAT MAKES THIS TABLE HONEST — READ IT BEFORE DECODING ANYTHING.
+# It lives HERE, in the table, and not only in prose in plates/hr.yml, because
+# a consumer who loads this file and never reads the dossier is exactly the
+# consumer who will get it wrong.

+decodes_to: >-
+  The registration area whose stanica za tehnički pregled vozila issued THIS
+  MARK, which is the area of the then-owner's prebivalište / boravište /
+  sjedište AT THE MOMENT OF ISSUE (čl. 5 st. 1 NN 130/2017). It is NOT a claim
+  about where the vehicle is now, nor about where its CURRENT owner lives.
+does_not_decode_to: >-
+  The current owner's residence; the place of manufacture; the place of the
+  technical inspection (čl. 5 st. 2 expressly permits an inspection station
+  OUTSIDE the area to issue a mark bearing the owner's own area code).
+caveat_2016:
+  date: "2016-07-04"
+  instrument: "Pravilnik o izmjenama i dopunama Pravilnika o registraciji i označavanju vozila, NN 45/2016, čl. 5 and čl. 10"
+  what_changed: >-
+    Until 3 July 2016 the SELLER of a vehicle had to deregister it and hand the
+    plates back, and the plates could pass to the buyer only "ako su
+    kupoprodajnim ugovorom ili pisanom izjavom ... ustupljene kupcu I AKO SE PRI
+    PROMJENI VLASNIŠTVA NE MIJENJA REGISTRACIJSKO PODRUČJE" (NN 151/2008
+    čl. 40 st. 3) — the same-area condition was written into the rule, so a
+    surviving mark was strong evidence about the CURRENT owner's area.
+    NN 45/2016 čl. 5 replaced that article outright: "U slučaju prodaje ili
+    drugog načina promjene vlasništva na vozilu, novi vlasnik vozila dužan je u
+    roku od 15 dana od stjecanja vozila registrirati vozilo na svoje ime ili ga
+    odjaviti" — the duty moved to the BUYER and the surrender of the plates
+    dropped out of the sale case entirely. The rule is carried forward verbatim
+    as čl. 48 st. 1 of NN 130/2017.
+  effect_on_this_table: >-
+    For any mark that has changed hands on or after 2016-07-04, the code is
+    evidence about the area of the owner AT FIRST ISSUE and about nobody since.
+    A parse API must NOT report the code as the current holder's area. The link
+    is not severed — čl. 25 st. 1 NN 130/2017 still issues NEW marks "za vozilo
+    koje se registrira u drugom registracijskom području" — but it is no longer
+    refreshed on every change of owner, and čl. 47 st. 7 additionally lets a
+    surrendered plate be taken over by "druga osoba na temelju ovjerene izjave
+    vlasnika registarskih pločica o ustupanju", i.e. by a different person.
+  confidence_rule: >-
+    current-area: unsound after 2016-07-04. area-at-issue: sound.
+    Consumers that cannot date a mark must degrade to area-at-issue.

+  2018, not 2017: NN 130/2017 was published on 27 December 2017 but its own
+  čl. 59 says "stupa na snagu 1. siječnja 2018. godine" (with a handful of
+  provisions deferred to 20 May 2018). The gazette date is not the period.
+  The CODES themselves are far older — most of them are unchanged since the
+  1993 system — but per-code start dates are a recorded gap: the popis attached
+  to the Pravilnik o registraciji vozila na motorni pogon i priključnih vozila
+  (NN 12/93, 22/93, 19/96, 149/02) was not reachable in this pass, and the 1993
+  pravilnik's own čl. 34 expressly kept the OLD popis alive for a transitional
+  period, so the 1990s code set is not asserted here.

+# THE DIACRITIC PROBLEM — a PRD-PLATES §2.6 finding, recorded, not folded away.
+# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+diacritics:
+  affected_codes: ["ČK", "KŽ", "PŽ", "ŠI", "VŽ", "ŽU"]
+  finding: >-
+    Six of the 34 codes are printed on the plate with a caron. Č, Š and Ž are
+    NOT in the dataset's serial alphabet (plates/_meta/separators.yml declares
+    it as A-Z 0-9), so no `format.pattern` or `format.regex` in plates/hr.yml
+    can spell them: the area-code position is written `[A-Z]{2}` there and is
+    therefore NARROWER than the issuing grammar for these six areas. Per
+    PRD-PLATES §2.7 that is still `matching: strict` — narrower is strict — but
+    a consumer matching a photographed Croatian plate MUST either ASCII-fold the
+    input or widen the class itself. Extending the serial alphabet is a schema
+    amendment (§2.6), not a data entry, and is NOT attempted here.
+  authority_acknowledges_it: >-
+    Čl. 22 st. 7 NN 130/2017 refuses a by-choice mark "ako drugom vozilu već
+    nije dodijeljen registarski broj zbog kojeg može doći do DUPLIRANJA PRILIKOM
+    TRANSLITERACIJE registarskih brojeva" — the regulation itself contemplates
+    transliteration collisions. `code_ascii` below is our fold (Č->C, Š->S,
+    Ž->Z); within the current 34 it is collision-free, which we checked.
+  ascii_fold_collision_warning: >-
+    ŠI folds to SI, and SI was itself a Croatian area code in the earlier system
+    (Sisak, before SK). The fold is unambiguous against the CURRENT table and
+    ambiguous against the historical one. Since the historical table is a
+    recorded gap above, a consumer decoding an old plate must treat SI as
+    unresolved rather than as Šibenik.

+# plates/_decode/ie-counties.yml — Irish index marks (the county/city identifier
+# in the middle group of an Irish registration).
+#
+# THE SOURCE FINDING, and it is the Austrian result rather than the German one:
+# THE IRISH INDEX-MARK LIST IS IN THE INSTRUMENTS, TWICE OVER, AND NOTHING BELOW
+# COMES FROM A SECONDARY SOURCE. Two independent statutory tables enumerate it:
+#
+#   * THE REGISTRATION TABLE — S.I. No. 445 of 1986 inserted "Part II" into the
+#     Schedule to the Road Vehicles (Index Marks) Regulations, 1958, allotting
+#     the new two-letter/one-letter marks to each licensing authority, and its
+#     new article 3 dates them to the day: "the index marks in Part I of the
+#     Schedule ... shall not be assigned to vehicles first registered on or
+#     after the 1st day of January, 1987 and the index marks in Part II ...
+#     shall be assigned to vehicles first registered on or after the 1st day of
+#     January, 1987." That table was then re-enacted, with the IRISH-LANGUAGE
+#     PLACENAME beside each mark, as the Table to paragraph 4 of the First
+#     Schedule to the Vehicle Registration and Taxation Regulations, 1992
+#     (S.I. No. 318 of 1992), and again in the First Schedule as substituted by
+#     S.I. No. 432 of 1999.
+#   * THE TRADE-LICENCE TABLE — Article 6(3)(a) of S.I. No. 409 of 1992 as
+#     substituted by S.I. No. 328 of 2013 and again by S.I. No. 243 of 2014.
+#     This is the ONLY instrument located in this pass that carries the
+#     POST-MERGER identifiers T (Tipperary), L (Limerick City and County) and
+#     W (Waterford City and County).
+#
+# THE DISCREPANCY IS REAL AND IS RECORDED, NOT AVERAGED (PRD-PLATES §5.3): the
+# VRT First Schedule table still reads TN / TS / LK / L / WD / W and has never
+# been amended to add T or to merge LK into L and WD into W, while the
+# trade-licence table WAS amended for exactly that reason — S.I. 328/2013's own
+# explanatory note: "These Regulations provide for a single identifier for trade
+# licences issued in Limerick, Tipperary and Waterford." Every row below
+# therefore carries `instruments:` naming which table it comes from, and the
+# post-2014 rows carry `registration_plate_authority: trade-licence-table-only`
+# so a consumer can see precisely how far the evidence reaches.
+#
+# Referenced by: plates/ie.yml (ie-standard-1987, ie-standard-1991,
+# ie-standard-2013, ie-trade-1993) via region_encoding.
+#
+# PERIOD DISCIPLINE (PRD-PLATES §2.4): these are the marks assignable to
+# vehicles FIRST REGISTERED on or after 1 January 1987. The pre-1987 marks are a
+# different, disjoint set and are handled in `historic_pre_1987` below — they are
+# NOT in `codes:` and a pre-1987 plate must never be decoded through it. Marks
+# are not withdrawn from plates already issued: a 1988 TS plate stays a TS plate
+# forever, which is why TN/TS/LK/WD remain decodable long after 2014.

+  three_letter_expansion_rule: >-
+    THE THREE-LETTER MARKS ARE STEM + ONE LEADING LETTER, AND THAT IS HOW TO
+    DECODE THEM. Every three-letter mark in the fourteen amending instruments
+    listed below is formed by prefixing a single letter to a two-letter stem
+    already allotted to the same authority: AIC..ZIC to Carlow's IC, AZA..YZA
+    and AZC..YZC and AZE..YZE and AZH..YZH and AZI..YZI and AZJ..YZJ and
+    AZL..YZL and AZO..YZO and AZU..YZU and AZG/AZS/AZV series to Dublin's ZA/ZC/
+    ZE/ZH/ZI/ZJ/ZL/ZO/ZU/ZG/ZS/ZV, KPI..ZPI and AZF..LZF to Cork City's PI/ZF,
+    ATI..ZTI to Limerick City's TI, AWI..JWI to Waterford City's WI, and so on
+    for every county. So: STRIP THE LEADING LETTER, LOOK UP THE REMAINING TWO
+    (or, for a two-letter mark, look it up directly).
+    EPISTEMIC LABEL, stated because it matters: this rule is an INDUCTION over
+    the fourteen instruments read in this pass, every one of which conforms
+    without exception. NO INSTRUMENT STATES IT. It is not law, it is a reliable
+    regularity, and a parse API must treat a non-conforming mark as unresolved
+    rather than forcing it.
+  exhaustive_list_status: not-authored
+  exhaustive_list_note: >-
+    The complete pre-1987 mark list is the 1958 Schedule as amended fourteen
+    times, and merging those fourteen insertions row-by-row is gate-L4 work
+    (PRD-PLATES §7). It is deliberately NOT half-done here: a partial list read
+    as complete would make a parse API declare real plates invalid, which is
+    worse than declaring them unresolved. The amending instruments, all read and
+    all conforming to the expansion rule above, are pinned so the merge can be
+    done later without re-discovery.

+  skipped_letters_folklore: >-
+    FOLKLORE FLAG, recorded not repeated: the widely circulated claim that the
+    letters G, S and V were "skipped, as these were intended for Scotland" is
+    NOT stated in any instrument read in this pass. What the instruments show is
+    narrower and different: the 1958 Schedule contains no TWO-letter mark
+    beginning with G, S or V — but it is full of THREE-letter marks that do
+    (GYI, SYI, VYI, all Dublin), and S.I. No. 6 of 1986 later allotted the
+    two-letter mark SI to Dublin outright. So no permanent reservation is
+    observable in the primary record. The claim is recorded here as unverified
+    and is not asserted by this file; establishing or refuting it needs the
+    pre-1958 orders the 1958 regulations revoked, which were not fetched.
