…ians, trade links - Expand politician map from 20 to 30 members with committee assignments, chamber, state, and party data for each entry - Add committee↔sector relevance mapping (committee-sectors.json) - Add ticker↔sector mapping with 75+ commonly traded tickers - Apply 2x 'insider relevance' multiplier when a politician trades a stock in a sector their committee oversees - Add direction weighting for sale_full (1.75x), sale_partial (1.25x), and exchange (0.75x) trade types - Parse and include trade detail URLs from Capitol Trades HTML - Show committee context in formatted output for relevant trades - Include url in BriefingItem output for trade detail links - Add 22 new tests covering committee relevance scoring, politician map validation, ticker-sector lookups, direction weighting, and formatting Note: Capitol Trades HTML does not distinguish full vs partial sales. The sale_full/sale_partial weights are implemented but will only activate if Capitol Trades adds this distinction in the future.
- Remove retired/resigned members: Cathy McMorris Rodgers, Mark Green,
Marjorie Taylor Greene
- Mitch McConnell: multiplier 3→1, no longer leadership tier
- Nancy Pelosi: remove Financial Services (no committee assignments in 119th)
- Fix Cleo Fields: House not Senate, committees → Financial Services
- Fix John Curtis: committees updated to actual 119th assignments
- Add _lastReviewed timestamp to politician JSON
- Narrow Energy & Commerce sectors: drop 'tech' and 'pharma' (too broad)
- Implement tiered committee relevance: direct (2x) vs tangential (1.5x)
- committee-sectors.json now uses {direct, tangential} arrays
- Document intentionally empty committees (Small Business, Ethics)
- Log missing ticker sector at debug level
- Log sector relevance boost with politician/committee/ticker detail
- Add first-match semantics comment on getCommitteeRelevance
- Add URL selector fragility comment
- Add TODO for multi-sector ticker support
- Pass pre-computed committee relevance to calculateScore (avoid redundant calc)
- Tests import JSON modules directly instead of fs.readFileSync
