Research direction

The issue lists HR 1697 as encoding progress and says to run /encode-bill HR 1697 to compute impacts, but it does not identify the command's implementation or tests. Start by locating the /encode-bill entry point and its existing tests. Done should mean the bill is encoded and the triage entry reflects the resulting progress.
