    "description": "Curated vendor-name alias map for warrant-register spend reporting. Payee names are first normalized (uppercase, strip Inc/LLC/Corp/punctuation — see normalizePayeeKey in scripts/lib/warrant-parsers.mjs), which already collapses most case/punctuation variants. This file handles the cases normalization cannot: distinct legal names that are the same payer (e.g. CalPERS bills under several entity names), and abbreviations. Each entry maps a canonical display name to the list of NORMALIZED keys that should roll up into it.",
    "source": "Hand-curated from the top payees in data/warrants/*.json; extend as queries surface new variants.",

    "howToExtend": "Run `node scripts/report-vendor-spend.mjs --top 50` to see normalized keys; add any that are the same real payer under a shared canonical name here, then re-run `npm run build:warrants-db`."
