ingest/adapters/riksdagen.py is the only module that knows what the Riksdag calls
its fields. Everything downstream works in plenum's column names, which is what
makes another parliament a matter of writing one file rather than editing the
application.
Writing it surfaced a bug the rename introduced: the loaders read the *source* JSON,
whose keys are the Riksdag's Swedish field names, and the mechanical pass renamed
those reads as if they were column names. doc.get("anforandetext") became
doc.get("text"), doc.get("talare") became doc.get("speaker_name"), and so on. The
next sync would have written empty speeches without erroring. This is exactly the
confusion an adapter exists to prevent, since it makes the source-name/column-name
boundary explicit instead of implicit.
The adapter captures what this source actually does, verified against real files:
repeated elements arrive as an object when there is one and a list when there are
several; null is serialised as the string "None"; speech text is HTML; and the
speaker field carries the party in parentheses, which has to come off or names stop
joining to the member register. Output was checked field by field against what
production stores for the same record.
