Rebuilding

Terms data comes from /home/user/documents/mpi/guide/03 术语库/. To rebuild:

1. Convert source xlsx/ods → CSV+YAML in _output/ (see /tmp/convert_sheets3.py)
2. Rebuild DuckDB from CSVs (see /tmp/duckdb_import.py and /tmp/fix_dot.py)
3. Materialize unified_terms_flat view → table for performance
