claude 54094a0d43 Add university-extension variety trials: Illinois VT + Iowa ICPT + Ohio OCPT (+123 trial docs)
Independent third-party performance data — land-grant programs that test every
entered brand side-by-side with replication + LSD stats. This is the legitimate
way to get Pioneer / DEKALB / Brevant / Channel performance the corpus can't
scrape directly (data_type=trial, results[] shape; falls through the trial
chunker).

- illinois_vt_trials (30 docs, 1,392 rows) — U of Illinois VT. Per-region XLSX
  (openpyxl), corn + soy + WHEAT, 2024+2025. Rich per-site agronomic metadata;
  corn-following-corn vs -soybean kept distinct.
- iowa_icpt_trials (24 docs, 674 rows) — Iowa State ICPT. ASP.NET GridView
  (viewstate postback for year/district), corn + soy by district x season.
- ohio_ocpt_trials (69 docs, 4,647 rows) — OSU/CFAES OCPT. Report PDF
  (pdfplumber; per-site column groups split by header Yield-token count +
  x-coord footnote bucketing), corn + soy per site, 2024+2025.

91 distinct seed brands across the three; majors confirmed present in the
independent rankings: DEKALB 395, Golden Harvest 249, Channel 241, NK 212,
Xitavo 135, LG 103, Pioneer 88, Asgrow 59. (A brand only appears where it
ENTERED a given program — e.g. Brevant not in Iowa, DEKALB/Channel not in
Illinois — true negatives, not parse gaps.)

- rag/chunk.py: gated `include_region` on _render_gh_plot_chunk; the 3 university
  sources route through it so the region/district is in the embedded chunk +
  labeled "variety trial (cross-vendor, independent third-party)". Existing plot
  sources (gh/lg/agrigold/proharvest) unchanged.
- requirements.txt: openpyxl (Illinois XLSX; scrape-time only).
- sources.json + README/CLAUDE/lessons: registered + attributed; lessons
  trial-data + Pioneer entries updated (Pioneer/DEKALB performance now available
  indirectly via these trials).

Validation: all 123 chunk via rag.chunk.chunks_from_trial (0 errors), 0
out-of-range yields, 0 dup keys. Public land-grant data; attribution recorded in
each tos_note. CI rebuilds the index from the committed corpus.
