Area: Full Workup (one official, all sections) (eo_full_workup) Filed: 2026-04-30T05:06:35.252Z Source: External LLM via /handoff/congress (attempt #65058) Resolved official: Dina Titus (entity #11178) Ingest result: 18 facts · 17 sources · 2 voting_records · 5 skipped

Briefing Sent

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.
