 ## Next
 
-- **Self-updating mirror** — a GitHub Action running `make check` on every push, then a scheduled job that pulls a fresh Atlas export, rebuilds, and commits the changelog automatically. This is the point where the mirror maintains itself and the daily civic changelog becomes real (the first *re-sync* diff, where only genuine government changes surface).

+- **The full U.S. Code** — titles 12–54 as OLRC USLM XML at the same release point (retry in progress on Atlas; the WAF-blocked titles currently exist only as GovInfo HTML, which stays a secondary snapshot).
 - **The demographic choropleth** — the Board already has ACS data for every county; shade the map by population, income, and poverty, turning it from a coverage indicator into an instrument.
 - **State and local bodies** — Bodies currently exist only at the federal level. Mint them for state legislatures and, following the Florida depth, county commissions and city councils.
 - **Graph export** — a loader that walks the tree and builds the relationship graph (Memgraph) as a materialized view, so the repo can rehydrate the graph rather than the reverse.
