Unable to install Optional Software

[Wrenbjor]

Description

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

Expected (per README)

# 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.
