Stale after the legislation corpus landed: LegalText was 11,221 (now 59,740),
Bill was missing entirely (197,131), validation count was 105,743 (now
302,874). Also notes the two parallel corpus trees (legal/, legislation/).

The docs drifted as the project moved fast. Fixed:
- Counts to the validator (canonical): 105,743 records, Jurisdiction 29,905
(README had 105,746/29,908 — the exact-GEOID backfill dropped 3 city nodes
and only the commit message was updated, not the docs).
- sources.md: officeholders-v2 → v3 (13,329); added the inputs that landed
since — municipal GEOID backfill, place/district crosswalks, the complete
U.S. Code corpus, the executive offices, and the authority edges.
- board.md: it described income/population/poverty only; now names the
partisan-lean lens, zoom/pan, and the district+representative drill-down.
- data-model.md: stale '17,506 files' → 105,743.

README/roadmap/data-model updated for the city nodes: entity counts,
the places tree layout, and the roadmap pivot from 'mint local bodies'
to 'fill the municipal skeleton.'

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.
