Transform CMS-mandated hospital pricing files into a searchable, consumer-friendly interface

Pre-release. Deterministic, spec-cited grades for CMS hospital price-transparency files, published with the evidence attached: files are discovered from cms-hpt.txt, streamed rather than loaded into memory, graded fail-closed against the CMS rule and schema docs, and every number on the site is generated from a committed comparison document.
