Directly fetched and confirmed live and current (site content included notices dated within a day of the verification date). This is the first real (non-sample) local-government entry, exercising both the `parentProvince` and `parentDistrict` references with real data for the first time — `parentProvince` points at the real `bagmati-province.md` (Batch 3), and `parentDistrict` points at the new minimal `kathmandu-district.md` record created alongside this entry specifically to support it. `leadership` points at the real `sunita-dangol.md` person record, who holds the position on an acting basis — see her own record's note. The sample `sample-district.md`/ `sample-municipality.md` entries remain as separate demo data.
