Test Data Seed Script

[calebyhan]

Both backend integration tests and frontend development need realistic sample data. A seed script provides consistent, repeatable test data that makes development and demos easier.

Changes:

• Added seed_data.py
  • Seeds realistic UNC sample data across all major tables
  • Idempotent (safe to rerun)
  • Covers: admin, districts, senators, leadership, committees, news, legislation/actions, events, carousel, finance hearings, staff, static pages, budget, app config
• Updated reset_dev.py
  • Now uses run_seed() instead of placeholder logic
• Updated README.md
  • Added seeding commands:
    • python -m script.seed_data (idempotent reseed)
    • python -m script.reset_dev (drop/recreate + reseed)
• Removed mock news fallback
  • api.ts now always uses backend (except 404 handling)
• Integrated committees API
  • Updated committees.ts to fetch from /api/committees
  • Added backend → frontend data mapping
• Removed obsolete mocks
  • Deleted frontend/src/lib/mock/news.ts
• Fixed prerender issues when backend is offline
  • Enabled dynamic rendering for backend-dependent pages:
    • app/page.tsx
    • app/news/[id]/page.tsx
    • app/committees/[id]/page.tsx

Closes #43
