Demo data: Public bid package + a simulated active-construction snapshot (review queue, project emails, field notes, RFIs, change log, and contractor follow-ups)

This demo uses public project documents and a simulated active-construction snapshot (mock review queue, emails, field notes, and trackers) so the workflows can be shown in progress. It is not affiliated with the project owner, design team, contractor, or bidders, and does not reflect the real project's status. Workflow updates shown here are simulated.
