Fabio 199d8b37d3 Municipals: nest 1,823 city officeholders under their real counties
Pull Atlas's place→county crosswalk (Census TIGER 2024 places × county
geometries, 32,041 places) into the build as a committed raw input, and
use it to resolve municipal officeholders whose county was unknown.

- data/place_county_crosswalk.jsonl — new raw input (place_geoid → county_geoid)
- build.py — place-name+state → county_geoid → ACS county slug as a fallback
  in county_slug(); city_slug() generalized to non-FL bare place labels
- data/sources/sources.yaml — provenance entry for the crosswalk

_unresolved municipals: 1919 → 58. The remainder are genuine: CT planning
regions (post-county), county-level rows mislabeled municipal upstream,
consolidated city-counties (null label), Wikidata-QID placeholder names,
and ambiguous same-name places — left unresolved rather than guessed.

Join key is county_geoid (5-digit FIPS); the directory slug is taken from
the ACS county node so municipals nest under the exact existing county dir.
Deterministic (byte-identical rebuild); validate.py passes 19,721 records.
