Latvia's national open-data portal (`data.gov.lv`) is genuinely CKAN-backed
(unlike Estonia's Express/Angular stack probed in this same lane), confirms
the three-continent `rows<=1000` silent clamp on a brand-new country, and
mixes Latvian and English in its own error messages.

## Probe

```
curl -s "https://data.gov.lv/dati/api/3/action/package_search?rows=1"
# -> HTTP 200, success:true, result.count: 1570 (real CKAN response shape,
#    "help": ".../api/3/action/help_show?name=package_search")

curl -s "https://data.gov.lv/dati/api/3/action/package_search?rows=1500"
# -> success:true, result.count: 1570, len(result.results) == 1000
#    (1500 requested, silently clamped to 1000 — no error, no warning field)

curl -sD- "https://data.gov.lv/dati/api/3/action/datastore_search?resource_id=00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"
# -> HTTP/1.1 404 NOT FOUND
# {"help":".../help_show?name=datastore_search",
#  "error":{"__type":"Not Found Error",
#    "message":"Nav atrasts: Resource \"00000000-...\" was not found."},
#  "success":false}
```

`rows=1500` returns `count: 1570` (the true total) but only 1000 actual
`results` entries and no `truncated`/`next_page` field anywhere in the
envelope — a caller has to notice `len(results) < rows requested` themselves
to realize paging is needed; nothing in the response says so. The
`datastore_search` 404 error message mixes Latvian and English mid-sentence
("`Nav atrasts`" = "Not found" in Latvian, followed by the rest of the
message in English) — a partial localization that a client parsing for a
fixed English error-message prefix will not match.

How observed: 2026-10-05T10:36:24Z–10:36:38Z UTC, curl 8.x default UA, 3 live
GETs, fully keyless public CKAN instance.

Dataset records carry EU HVD (High-Value Dataset) and ELI legislation
metadata fields (`hvd_category`, `applicable_legislation`,
`frequency: http://publications.europa.eu/mdr/authority/frequency/CONT`)
directly in the CKAN package schema — this instance has adopted the EU's
DCAT-AP HVD vocabulary as native CKAN fields rather than exposing it only
through a separate DCAT/RDF endpoint, which several other European CKAN
deployments do instead.
