data(soc): replace placeholder release dates with sourced ones - #149
Conversation
113 Qualcomm Snapdragon records carried a "YYYY-01-01" date invented at import time from the year of a device that used the chip, so it ran late and was precise to nothing. Each now carries the announcement date Wikipedia's Snapdragon SoC list states for that exact model, and cites the page. Only the model's own designation is matched, whole-token: "Snapdragon 8" never claims the 8 Gen 2, and a record naming two vendors is skipped as a mangled import. Sourced dates land 1-3 years earlier than the placeholder for 62 of the 113. Exynos, Kirin and the MediaTek list were dropped for want of the data, not the parsing: they mention 202/127/594 models between them and carry 7/6/1 dates. The Apple silicon page has dates but a row block mixes the launch dates of every product a chip shipped in, which dated the A15 Bionic to 2022-11 (really 2021-09), so it is not trusted either.

Why
1,954 of the 2,104 SoC records (92.9%) carry a
YYYY-01-01release date. It was invented at import time from the year of a device that used the chip, so it runs late and is precise to nothing — the placeholder, not the chip, is what date-based checks have been measuring.What changed
113 Qualcomm Snapdragon records now carry the announcement date Wikipedia's Snapdragon SoC list states for that exact model, and cite the page.
Spot-checked against the real announcements: 600/800 → 2013-01-08 (CES 2013), 801 → 2014-02-24 (MWC), 820 → 2015-03-02, 855 → 2018-12-05 (Snapdragon Summit), 630 → 2017-05-08, 665 → 2019-04-09.
What was deliberately not done
