Read the dates correctly

Multiple rows can describe one program: full-year, partial-year and next-year windows are distinct. A pending funding queue is not a guaranteed waitlist award. No current active waitlist is independently verified in this release, so that filter may correctly return no matches.

Exports preserve source URLs, verification dates, tracker links and explicit unknown values. CSV cells are quoted and formula prefixes escaped.
