Update cadence
The dataset is regenerated continuously as records are published and reviewed.
Each row carries accepted_official_evidence; use it instead of inferring
trust from verification_status. The last_verified field records
the latest workflow check, while the feed's
dateModified reflects the most recent change in the catalog.
