CalCOFI integrated database release v2026.08.02

RELEASE_NOTES.md on gs://calcofi-db/ducklake/releases/v2026.08.02

Release date: 2026-08-02

A full rebuild on the core-only model

Every dataset's core projection SQL moved out of calcofi4db into the ingest notebook that owns it (calcofi4db 3.2.0 deleted the switch(dataset_key, …) arms — the release had re-derived the core from its own inline copy and the two copies drifted, each divergence a silent data error). obs_mets_full and taxon are catalogued; spatial tables renamed. obs 18.7 M → 20.1 M.
