fix: add terminal period after comma-joined list items

afd5b1a8e1f5cc7f520de780942fbbedc0d14d6a · Claude · Feb 10, 2026 21:53

Without a period, the last list item runs directly into the following
paragraph (e.g. "Hong Kong As for the percentage..."), producing text
that the G2P cannot phonemize.  Adding a period creates a proper
sentence boundary so the chunker splits cleanly.
