WalkthroughAdds ChangesDataset name validation
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The new expectation can incorrectly accept names with a trailing newline, causing a bounded validation error for affected inputs. The change is otherwise mergeable with explicit owner awareness to use full-string matching and add a regression test. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Reject names with a terminating newline.
CODE_LIKE_NAME_RE.match("59\n") accepts the value because $ matches before a final newline. Replace match() with fullmatch() and add a regression test.

Description
Adds a new dataset expectation,
name_is_a_code_check, which flags entities whosenameis only a bare reference code rather than a description — for example59,3Bor11/802— and registers it in the dataset checkpoint's operation map. Failures are reported per entity with theirorganisation_entity, so they can be attributed back to the provider.The check is inert until it is switched on for a dataset by an
expect.csvrow inconfig, so this PR changes no behaviour on its own. It is intended forarticle-4-direction-area,conservation-areaandlisted-building-outlineonly.Why
Part of the work to give LPAs feedback on
namefield quality. Analysis of the ODP spatial datasets found a significant number of entities whose name carries no information for a data user, because the provider has supplied their internal reference instead of a descriptive name.Note that nothing is yet visible to an LPA: expectations do not currently generate tasks. That bridge is config#2912 and is deliberately out of scope here.

The check was also run against the current published data for all three datasets in scope, and the counts reconcile exactly with the 2026-08 ODP name analysis:
That is 258 entities across roughly 20 organisations in total.
Context - low risk change:
The operation does nothing until an
expect.csvrow in config names it, so merging this changes no behaviour anywhere. When it is switched on it runs atwarningseverity, which cannot fail a dataset build, and it only reads theentitytable — it writes nothing back to the dataset. Nothing is visible to a data provider yet either, because expectations do not currently generate tasks.Future testing before this goes live.
Once this is merged I will set up the PR to change in config and then test that in DEV before merging to main.
