Storage layout: single parquet: data/clean_full/sipri/sipri.parquet (~435 KB; series_key='<prefix>:<country_key>' where prefix in {milex_usd_const, milex_usd_curr, milex_gdp_share, milex_gov_share, milex_percap, milex_lcu} and country_key is a sanitized <=30-char country name; obs_date = Dec-31 of year; value float64). One file. (The sibling milex.parquet in the same dir is from ingest_sipri_polity.py and out of scope.) No in-run (key,date) dedup, but sheets are disjoint by prefix so cross-sheet collisions don't occur.
