Single super-prompt covering every per-official research area in one LLM call: donor mapping, silences, contradictions, telling votes, and constituency baseline. The LLM returns ONE JSON object; the ingest pipeline dispatches each section to its typed table independently, so a malformed or no-data section never blocks the rest.

    "connections": { "no_data": true, "reason": "Donor PAC entities (e.g., specific bank/securities PACs) are not yet present in the entities table for this deployment; per the per-section rule, donor_entity_name must exactly match an existing entities row or be silently skipped, so connections are deferred until those PAC entities are seeded." }
  },

  "silences": { "no_data": true, "reason": "A falsifiable silence requires a documented adjacent-topic statement inside the window with a resolvable URL; without confirmed press-release/transcript URLs from her official House site for a specific window, asserting silence would not meet the primary-source bar." },

The district was redrawn after the 2020 census; under the 2022 lines it became more Republican-leaning than its previous swing-district profile, though it remains less rural than most Missouri House seats.",
