Strict Data Integrity & Zero-Fallback Guarantee

• No Synthetic or Fallback Rows: Every item pushed to the dataset is fetched live from the municipal Socrata API during execution. If all queried endpoints fail or return an error, the Actor exits with a non-zero code (exit 1) so you are never billed for failed or placeholder records.
• Verified HTTPS: All requests verify TLS certificates using standard CA bundles (ssl.create_default_context()).
• Commercial Privacy Filter: Individual residential homeowner names are excluded; only commercial/entity applicants, contractor business names, permit numbers, valuations, and municipal work descriptions are returned.
