Storage layout: single parquet: data/clean_full/rba/rba.parquet (~2.9 MB; series_key=RBA Series ID e.g. ARBALNOIW, or <fileprefix>:col<N> fallback; obs_date parsed from DD-Mon-YYYY etc.; value float64). One file holds all ~216 tables. NO in-run dedup (keys/dates/vals just extended), so if two CSVs share a Series ID or the same file is linked twice, duplicate (key,date) rows are possible.
