The seat data answered 'who represents this place?' but not 'who runs this institution?' — the Speaker of the House existed only as the rep for LA-4. This adds the missing axis of institutional power. New Body entities (233): the U.S. House, U.S. Senate, Executive Office, 49 committees, 181 subcommittees — each with its leadership. Federal people (532/542) enriched with bioguide IDs, leadership roles, and committee seats, reconciled from congress-legislators by name. Mike Johnson is now Speaker of the House, not just LA-4. Sources ingested directly into the repo (repo-canonical): Atlas supplied bodies/leadership/committee_memberships via congress-legislators, committed raw in data/. build.py supersedes convert_officeholders.py and reads all four inputs in one deterministic pass (byte-identical on rerun). The 10 unenriched federal records are a finding, not a bug: vacancies, the President, and ~5 seats where Atlas's roster disagrees with the authoritative current roster — model-vs-reality discrepancies to surface.

Republic OS
An open, version-controlled mirror of public power in the United States.
Government is already software: statutes are code, agencies are processes, elections change the maintainers, and a bill is a pull request against the law. What government has never had is a changelog. This repository is that changelog.
The diff is the product. Every file here mirrors the observable public state of a government entity — people, offices, bodies, meetings, organizations, money, issues — as deterministic, sourced, human-readable records. When government changes, the files change, and git makes the change visible, permanent, and inspectable.
- Founding document: Technical Brief — Government as Software
- Format: Markdown + YAML frontmatter (OKF-conformant), validated by JSON Schema
- Data: raw source exports land in
data/first; refinement into structured entity files is itself a visible diff - Substrate for: influence.tools
Three disciplines govern everything here: never overwrite, never rewrite history, always push off-box.
