Durable git-LFS archive of the exact pinned raw source bytes for the subwaydemand demand-data pipeline. This repo exists because several vendors do not keep their files permanently — Geofabrik purges dated .osm.pbf extracts, RLP LoD2 /current/ rolls ~yearly, and BA directed commuter data is interactive-only — so the pipeline's reproducibility (design spec §3b) depends on these archived bytes rather than re-fetching from source.

This is not the code. The pipeline code lives in the subwaydemand repo. This repo holds only raw data, tracked with git-LFS.

Layout

raw/ mirrors the pipeline's local raw/ directory exactly, so restoring is a plain copy (see below). <region>.lock.json snapshots are the pins these bytes satisfy — every file's sha256 in the lock matches the corresponding file here.

raw/
  bkg_lod2/   RLP LoD2 CityGML (geb3dlo) tiles for Mainz AGS 07315 + .meta4 + .txt sidecars
  zensus/     Zensus 2022 100m population grid (nationwide zip)
  osm/        Geofabrik dated .osm.pbf extracts: Rheinland-Pfalz + Hessen (2026-07-07)
  ba/         BA "gemband" svB xlsx (Gemeinde totals + commuter marginals)
  ba/interactive/  Browser-extracted BA snapshots (no stable vendor URL):
                   Regionalreport sector crosstabs (bst-reg, Mainz) + directed Pendler OD CSVs
rhein-main.lock.json   snapshot of the region lock (region RMN) these bytes satisfy

Restore into the pipeline (precursor step)

From the subwaydemand repo root, with this archive cloned alongside:

git -C ../subwaybuilder-demand-archive lfs pull
cp -R ../subwaybuilder-demand-archive/raw/. raw/
uv run subwaydemand verify        # S0: sha256-gates raw/ against regions/<region>.lock.json

subwaydemand verify refuses to proceed on any missing/mismatched file, so a clean verify confirms the restored bytes are bit-identical to the pins.
