Source: External LLM via /handoff/congress (attempt #69164)
Resolved official: Gabe Vasquez (entity #10908)
Ingest result: 27 facts · 27 sources · 1 silences · 1 contradictions · 4 voting_records · 2 skipped
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.
Now I have comprehensive research. Let me compile the final workup for Rep. Gabe Vasquez.
