Snapshot generation
Snapshot generation is querying a data source at build time and committing the result as typed source code.
Why it matters
It makes builds reproducible, decouples deploys from database availability, and turns a data change into a reviewable diff.
How it is measured
Confirm the generated module exports an UPDATED_AT constant and is committed to version control.
