## What it is
Keyword Atom feeds over all UK government news & communications (`/search/news-and-communications.atom?keywords=data+centre|center`, 20 items each). Open Government Licence v3.0.

## Quirks
The keyword search matches body text, so many items only mention data centres in passing and are dropped. `/search/all*` is disallowed by robots; the news-and-communications feed is allowed. Text kept (public sector).

## Verification
Verified live on 2026-09-11 with `scripts/try-connector.ts` (dry run, nothing persisted): 20 URLs, 4 pages at L1; latest items irrelevant (0 events); `--url` on *SFO opens European data centre bribery investigation* → 1 dated news_event, 0 errors.
