Pull Atlas's place→county crosswalk (Census TIGER 2024 places × county
geometries, 32,041 places) into the build as a committed raw input, and
use it to resolve municipal officeholders whose county was unknown.
- data/place_county_crosswalk.jsonl — new raw input (place_geoid → county_geoid)
- build.py — place-name+state → county_geoid → ACS county slug as a fallback
in county_slug(); city_slug() generalized to non-FL bare place labels
- data/sources/sources.yaml — provenance entry for the crosswalk
_unresolved municipals: 1919 → 58. The remainder are genuine: CT planning
regions (post-county), county-level rows mislabeled municipal upstream,
consolidated city-counties (null label), Wikidata-QID placeholder names,
and ambiguous same-name places — left unresolved rather than guessed.
Join key is county_geoid (5-digit FIPS); the directory slug is taken from
the ACS county node so municipals nest under the exact existing county dir.
Deterministic (byte-identical rebuild); validate.py passes 19,721 records.

The README described intent; the repo is now real. Rewrote it to reflect
what actually exists — 17,506 validated files across four entity types,
the deterministic pipeline, the commands — and added the /docs tree:
government-as-code.md the philosophy: git primitives -> government
data-model.md entity types, IDs, file format, the tree, determinism
sources.md where every fact comes from, and how current
roadmap.md done / next / later, honest about what isn't built
contributing.md the disciplines, and how to add a source
Plus data/sources/sources.yaml — the machine-readable source registry.
Every count, path, and source claim is grounded in the current tree, not
the aspirational brief. Internal links verified; validation still clean.
