svemagie 269040e147 feat(PR-00001): add German empirical proxy datasets + AR-00004
Five new datasets and data-fetch scripts for PR-00001 (Meaning Crisis)
evidence expansion — five proxy clusters, all verified and running:

- get-de-kirchenaustritte → Data/DE-Church-Exits/ (EKD+DBK 2010–2023, peak 903k/2022)
- get-de-wellbeing → Data/DE-Wellbeing/ (Eurostat: Sinnerleben high 28.3%→17.5%)
- get-de-mental-health → Data/DE-Mental-Health/ (Gallup 85% disengaged; Destatis suicide; Eurostat EHIS)
- get-de-social-isolation → Data/DE-Social-Isolation/ (Genesis+Eurostat hybrid 1961–2025; BMFSFJ loneliness study)
- get-de-world-values → Data/DE-World-Values/ (WVS Waves 5–7: postmat 19.4%→25.8%)

Also adds AR-00004 (Meaning Crisis Is Empirically Measurable) and
expands PR-00001 Evidence section with all five proxy clusters.

/**
* DE Social Isolation Indicators
*
* Fetches household structure data for Germany from two sources:
* 1. Destatis Genesis (Mikrozensus) — primary authoritative source
* - 12211-9022: Privathaushalte nach Haushaltsgröße 19612004
* - 12211-0300: Hauptwohnsitzhaushalte nach Haushaltsgröße ab 2020
* 2. Eurostat LFS (lfst_hhnhtych) — gap filler for 20052019
*
* Credentials: DESTATIS_USERNAME / DESTATIS_PASSWORD env vars
* → loaded from ~/.claude/.env if not already set in environment
*
* Methodology note:
* The Destatis Mikrozensus changed methodology after 2004 from
* "Privathaushalte" (old survey design) to "Hauptwohnsitzhaushalte"
* (main-residence households, rolling sample from 2005). The 20052019
* gap in Genesis is filled using Eurostat Labour Force Survey
* (lfst_hhnhtych), which tracks Germany's household composition
* continuously and agrees within ±0.5pp with Genesis for 2025.
*
* Loneliness Study 2021 (hardcoded — no API):
* Source: BMFSFJ + TU München, representative survey n=5,000+
* https://www.bmfsfj.de/bmfsfj/aktuelles/alle-meldungen/mehr-als-jeder-vierte-ist-einsam-185966
*
* Output: Data/DE-Social-Isolation/

## 🎯 BEST ESTIMATE
| Metric | Value | Confidence | Last Updated |
|--------|-------|------------|--------------|
| **Single-person households (${latest?.year ?? "N/A"})** | **${latest?.single_pct ?? "N/A"}%** | 95% | ${latest?.year ?? "N/A"} |
| **Single-person (absolute)** | **~${(latest?.hh_1p ?? 0).toLocaleString()}k** | 95% | ${latest?.year ?? "N/A"} |
| **Chronically lonely (2021)** | **~3.9M** | 85% | 2021 |
| **Share feeling lonely (2021)** | **27%** | 85% | 2021 |
**One-liner:** ${latest?.single_pct}% of German households are single-person — structural atomization at record levels (Destatis Mikrozensus, primary source).
---
## Quick Context
Single-person households have grown continuously in Germany from ~21% (1961) to ${latest?.single_pct}% (${latest?.year}). Structural trend reflects delayed family formation, urbanization, aging, and declining community bonds — feeding into PR-00001 (Meaning Crisis). The 2021 loneliness study (BMFSFJ/TU München) adds the subjective dimension: 27% report feeling lonely, ~3.9M chronically.
