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. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
