Key automation

• Deploy: merge to main → GitHub Pages
• Nightly sync: NVA people enrich → results sync → reciprocity fix → tag merge → validation (see Directory and Deployment)
• Directory validation: python3 scripts/validate_directory.py (errors block CI; warnings are advisory)
• Tag normalisation: python3 scripts/merge_tags.py (see Tags and Keywords; runs nightly after NVA sync)
