Research direction

Start by running tests/test_updaters.py::test_end_to_end and inspect the updater path that parses the external data value latest. Compare the current data with the expected %Y%m%d format and determine the appropriate handling for the changed value. Done means the end-to-end test passes reliably in CI without breaking unrelated changes.
