Original prompt
This section details on the original issue you should resolve
<issue_title>docs: Consolidate validation reports into authoritative documentation</issue_title>
<issue_description>## 🎯 Objective
Consolidate multiple overlapping validation reports (DATABASE_VIEW_VALIDATION_REPORT.md, SQL_VALIDATION_REPORT.md, VALIDATION_REPORT.md, VALIDATION_SUMMARY.md) into the primary authoritative documentation files, eliminating redundancy and ensuring single source of truth.
📋 Background
The repository currently contains 4 separate validation report files totaling ~31KB that document overlapping information about database views, SQL queries, and OSINT data validation. This creates confusion about which document is authoritative and makes maintenance difficult.
Current Validation Reports:
DATABASE_VIEW_VALIDATION_REPORT.md(3.4K) - View documentation validation snapshotSQL_VALIDATION_REPORT.md(5.4K) - SQL query validationVALIDATION_REPORT.md(12K) - General validation reportVALIDATION_SUMMARY.md(11K) - Validation summary reportMain Documentation Files:

✅ Acceptance Criteria
🛠️ Implementation Guidance
