Authority axis v1: mint the executive branch + link 27,804 § → office edges

The Code empowers the executive branch, but the mirror only had legislative
Bodies — every authority reference pointed at nothing. Fixed by minting the
executive branch from the Code's OWN enumerations: 15 Cabinet departments
(5 U.S.C. § 101) + 21 Executive-Schedule Level I offices (§ 5312), 42 Body
nodes under us/executive/.

Then the axis: scripts/extract_authority.py matches named office/department
references across all 59,740 sections (guarding against Deputy/Assistant/Under
subordinates) and emits data/section_authority_edges.jsonl — 27,804 edges from
17,031 sections (28.7% of the Code) to the offices they empower. build.py
renders reciprocal 'empowered by' links on each office node; the section files
are never touched. Now: click the Attorney General, see all 2,386 sections that
vest authority in it.

Named references only in v1 (cabinet-level). Deterministic; body.schema
classification enum extended (executive-department/-agency/-office); make check
green at 105,746 records.
