The first edges in the repo. Every US county now links to the districts it sits in, weighted by area overlap, and every legislator links to the district they represent — county → district → representative, traversable. Data (PostGIS, no Atlas dependency — computed directly from geometry): - data/county_district_edges.jsonl — 16,328 weighted edges. area_weight = ST_Area(ST_Intersection(county, district))/ST_Area(county) over ST_MakeValid Census TIGER 2024 geometries, overlaps <0.5% dropped. Uses area-intersection, NOT centroid-in-polygon, so urban districts that carve through counties (e.g. GA CD-5 / Atlanta across Clayton+DeKalb+Fulton) are captured, not silently dropped. Per-county weights sum to ~1.0 per district type. build.py: - ~6,896 new district nodes: 435 CD (ACS demographics where available; sparse for the 8 states missing from acs_cd) + 4,927 state-house + 1,897 state-senate (geometry-only). GEOID/number-keyed, stable. - county index.md gains a `districts:` block (frontmatter) + a ## Districts section (body links, so link-integrity checks them). - legislators + US House members gain `represents:` pointing at their district node; edge stored once on the person, inverse left to the view. - schemas/jurisdiction: classification enum + chamber/districts fields. Honest gaps (logged, not hidden): ID + NH have no state-house geometry, so their house districts get nodes (represents resolves) but no county edges; CD nodes for acs_cd-missing states are demographically sparse. Deterministic (byte-identical rebuild); validate.py passes 26,617 records, link-integrity clean (every district/represents link resolves). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
