The tracker was claiming $275M+ when the data said $160.8M. Full audit, full fix — live KV totals, machine-readable endpoints, and proper schema. Piece 2 still to come.
Started with a read-only audit. Found two parallel systems running simultaneously — a static Pages file and a Cloudflare Worker — with the Worker being the live system and the page showing hardcoded figures that didn't match it. The scoreboard was claiming $275M+ in AI lobbying spend. The actual KV data said $160.8M pro-AI, $21.4M pro-regulation. That's a significant gap to have on a page that's supposed to be a citation asset.
Confirmed the Worker as the live system and replaced all hardcoded scoreboard figures with computed KV totals. Added a pledged secondary line for Innovation Council Action's $100M commitment — real figure, properly labeled. Fixed a silent network-field rendering bug that had been suppressing data without error. Fixed an ATEP camp mismatch where the entity was miscategorized as meta instead of pro-AI.
On the schema side: added JSON-LD Dataset schema, agent-context HTML comment, og:type, a citeable-claims section, a methodology section, and a recent-mentions section with an honest empty state rather than hiding the field entirely.
Added /super-pacs/data.json — a full denormalized endpoint covering 9 entities, 4 networks, per-PAC donors, races, and leadership. CORS locked to sunshine.fm only. Added /super-pacs/methodology.json as a static file documenting classification rules and editorial notes so the data is auditable, not just queryable.
Updated SKILL.md to reflect the expanded scope — 5 PACs to 9 entities, with data.json as the primary agent surface. Recomputed sha256 digest. Added both JSON endpoints to sitemap.xml. Created PROJECT_LOG.md with 36 open threads for piece 2.
Two Worker deploys, one Pages deploy, commit pushed to GitHub at c120bb5. All five groups closed clean.
NewsAPI is returning zero results on the daily cron — open bug tracked in PROJECT_LOG. The FEC cron runs at 09:00 UTC and wasn't called directly today; data integrity was verified via KV reads. Piece 2 scope is defined and waiting.
