| # Congress Public Records Slice Space | |
| Neutral Records explorer for a public-record slice of congressional money-and-power linkages. | |
| ## Runtime Notes | |
| - This Space first checks for a bundled local `dataset_bundle` inside the Space repo, then falls back to the configured Hugging Face dataset repo. | |
| - For local testing, set the `PUBLIC_RELEASE_LOCAL_ROOT` environment variable to the release root folder before launching `app.py`. | |
| - The Space is intentionally neutral and does not assign guilt, wrongdoing, intent, or causality. | |
| ## Required Caveats | |
| - This release is a slice of public-record data, not a complete accounting of all potentially relevant data. | |
| - Future releases may update or expand this slice as source recovery, parsing, and evidence linkage improve. | |
| - This release does not assign guilt, wrongdoing, intent, or causality to any person or organization. | |
| - The release shows public-record overlaps, timing, and linkage strength, not proof of illegality or corruption. | |
| - Some rows remain review-tier or include unresolved official source references and should be read with those labels in mind. | |
| - The public package includes verification summaries and SHA-backed artifact indexes, but it does not include the full internal raw corpus, so external verification is bounded by what is published here. |
