A city was a string buried in a job title; now it is a node. build.py
mints all 19,513 incorporated Census places (CDPs filtered out — they
are statistical, not governed) as Jurisdiction nodes keyed by place
GEOID, modelled exactly like a county: place + government fused, with
officeholders nested beneath, not a separate Body.
Officeholders join to their city by a name+state match (county-hint
disambiguated) off the same jurisdiction_label that city_slug uses for
placement, so node and people co-locate by construction. 2,229 cities
are filled today (2,217 GEOID-resolved, a 98.8% join); the other 17,289
are truthful skeleton stubs — 'governed, not yet mirrored' — the same
discipline as the nationwide county skeleton.
Deterministic (byte-identical on rerun); classification enum extended
with city/town/village/borough; validation green at 57,185 records.
