feat: ZIP → rep lookup, member page redesign, letter improvements
ZIP lookup (GET /api/members/by-zip/{zip}):
- Two-step geocoding: Nominatim (ZIP → lat/lng) then Census TIGERweb
Legislative identify (lat/lng → congressional district via GEOID)
- Handles at-large states (AK, DE, MT, ND, SD, VT, WY)
- Added rep_lookup health check to admin External API Health panel
congress_api.py fixes:
- parse_member_from_api: normalize state full name → 2-letter code
(Congress.gov returns "Florida", DB expects "FL")
- parse_member_from_api: read district from top-level data field,
not current_term (district is not inside the term object)
Celery beat: schedule sync_members daily at 1 AM UTC so chamber,
district, and contact info stay current without manual triggering
Members page redesign: photo avatars, party/state/chamber chips,
phone + website links, ZIP lookup form to find your reps
Draft letter improvements: pass rep_name from ZIP lookup so letter
opens with "Dear Representative Franklin," instead of generic salutation;
add has_document filter to bills list endpoint
UX additions: HelpTip component, How It Works page, "How it works"
sidebar nav link, collections page description copy
