- Update person entity profiles with career history
- Implemented a new script `test_pico_arabic_waqf.py` to test the GLM annotator's ability to extract person observations from Arabic historical documents.

- Handle unicode hyphen variants in postal codes
- Add manual mappings for remote Tokyo islands (Hachijojima, Miyakejima)
- Implement prefix fallback for company postal codes
- Total JP files geocoded: 540 (99.81% coverage)
This brings overall geocoding coverage from 97.84% to 99.81%
- Improved city name cleaning:
- Roman numeral district suffixes (Kolín V. -> Kolín)
- City + country suffixes (Genève 4 - Suisse -> Genève)
- Czech postal notation (p. Luka nad Jihlavou -> Luka nad Jihlavou)
- Historical city names (Gottwaldov -> Zlín, renamed 1990)

- German prepositions (Hausen b. Brugg)
- Created scripts/geocode_from_city_name.py for unified geocoding
- Introduced LEGAL-FORM-FILTER rule to standardize CustodianName by removing legal form designations.
- Documented rationale, examples, and implementation guidelines for the filtering process.
docs: Create README for value standardization rules
- Established a comprehensive README outlining various value standardization rules applicable to Heritage Custodian classes.
- Categorized rules into Name Standardization, Geographic Standardization, Web Observation, and Schema Evolution.
feat: Implement transliteration standards for non-Latin scripts
- Added TRANSLIT-ISO rule to ensure GHCID abbreviations are generated from emic names using ISO standards for transliteration.
- Included detailed guidelines for various scripts and languages, along with implementation examples.
feat: Define XPath provenance rules for web observations
- Created XPATH-PROVENANCE rule mandating XPath pointers for claims extracted from web sources.
- Established a workflow for archiving websites and verifying claims against archived HTML.
chore: Update records lifecycle diagram
- Generated a new Mermaid diagram illustrating the records lifecycle for heritage custodians.
- Included phases for active records, inactive archives, and processed heritage collections with key relationships and classifications.
- Final 42 files updated
- Normalization complete: all 27,511 custodian files have location block
- 15,419 files have coordinates with coordinate_provenance
- 12,092 files have address-only location blocks
- 2,546 files updated with location blocks
- All 27,511 custodian files now have location: block
- 15,421 files have coordinates with coordinate_provenance
- 12,090 files have address-only location blocks
- Fixed 469 JP files missing location: blocks (had data in original_entry.locations)
- Fixed 117 additional JP files found in second pass
- 1 EG file skipped (no location source data available)
- Total files with location: blocks now 27,459 out of 27,511 (99.8%)
