Description

## Description

The README's "Quick Start" section documents an optional automation system that doesn't appear to exist in the repository.

## Expected (per README)
```bash
# Install dependencies
bun install

# Update a specific dataset
cd Data/US-GDP
bun run update.ts

# Update all datasets
bun run scripts/update-all.ts
```

## Actual

- No `package.json` in repo root
- No `scripts/` directory
- No `Data-Sources/` directory (referenced multiple times in README)
- No `.ts` files anywhere in the repository
- `bun install` returns nothing to install

## What does exist

- Static CSV and Markdown files in `Data/`
- Two bash scripts in repo root (`get-bay-area-covid-status`, `get-california-wastewater-data`)

## Questions

1. Is the TypeScript automation system planned but not yet implemented?
2. If implemented, is it in a different branch or separate repo?
3. Should the README be updated to reflect current state vs roadmap?

## Environment

- Cloned from `main` branch
- Commit: latest as of Jan 22, 2026

Happy to help test or contribute if the automation is in progress somewhere. Just looking for clarity on what's available today.
