Two-Arm Monorepo Architecture (`gl-web`)

The rejuvenated geekLections platform operates as a unified two-arm monorepo:

1. Arm 1 — Python Data & Bayesian Modelling Pipeline (pipeline/): Managed via uv and pyproject.toml, utilizing PyMC v5, PyTensor, ArviZ, and DuckDB/Parquet. Large raw AEC polling-booth CSVs, SA1 redistribution concordances, and MCMC posteriors are stored in an external cloud-synced folder (GL_DATA_DIR), while compact JSON summaries stamped with SHA-256 _provenance manifests are emitted into static/data/.
2. Arm 2 — SvelteKit 2 + Svelte 5 Runes + Bootstrap 5 Static Website (src/): Prerendered via @sveltejs/adapter-static for zero-server deployment on Cloudflare Pages at geeklections.au, preserving the classic blog.geeklections.com.au dark charcoal theme and hosting both frozen legacy websites under /historic/blog/ and /historic/www/.
