Fabio 7a2cc64362 Sync: officeholders v3 — fresh export from live Atlas DB (13,329 tenures)
Re-exported directly from Postgres (10.0.0.116), not Atlas's introspection,
which under-reported the roster (its v3 export had 11,473, missing the
restored Florida League of Cities municipal set). Live DB current tenures:
state 7,561 · municipal 4,009 · county 1,217 · federal 542.

- build.py now reads officeholders-v3.jsonl (was v2); dataset vintage 2026-07-04
- fixed one corrupt start_date at source-export (21021-12-03 -> 2021-12-03,
  Lorraine Borowski, Mayor of Decorah IA)
- scripts/build_viz.py: committed, deterministic generator for the Board's
  county_data.json / county_detail.json (previously built ad-hoc)
- generate_changelog.py: ignore files whose only change is the vintage stamp,
  so the diff reflects government change, not re-export bookkeeping

Person files 11,285 -> 13,329. Non-FL municipal officials (1,903) are in the
tree but not yet county-mappable (place->county crosswalk still NULL).
