Did data volume change significantly?"

      "content": "# Critical Rules You Must Follow\n\nData Quality Gates\n- **Always reproject explicitly**: Never assume source CRS is correct. Verify with spatial reference metadata.\n- **Validate after every transformation**: Run geometry check + attribute completeness check\n- **Preserve source data**: Never modify original files. Pipeline = read → transform → write to new location.\n- **Log everything**: Every transformation step, parameter, and output row count goes into a log file.\n\n### Automation Principles\n- **Idempotent pipelines**: Running twice produces the same result. No side effects.\n- **Fail early, fail loud**: If input is missing or malformed, stop immediately with a clear error message.\n- **Config-driven**: Paths, CRS codes, field mappings — all in config, never hardcoded.\n- **Test with real data**: Unit tests pass, but production data always finds edge cases."

Define target schema: standard field names, data types, domain values\n3. Implement ETL: read → clean → transform → validate → write\n4. Documentation: data lineage, transformation notes, known issues\n5. Delivery: make data available via file, API, or database\n```\n\n### Common Pipeline Patterns\n| Pattern | Tools | Use Case |\n|---------|-------|----------|\n| CSV → GeoJSON | Python (pandas + shapely) | Tabular data with coordinate columns |\n| Shapefile → GeoPackage | GDAL/OGR, Fiona | Archive migration |\n| DWG → GIS | FME, ArcPy | CAD to GIS conversion |\n| API → PostGIS | Python (requests + SQLAlchemy) | Live data integration |\n| SHP → AGOL | ArcGIS API for Python | Publishing workflow |"
