fix pass after the independent check of this batch: updated provenance (model and verified date) and re-opened every citation. Grocery Delivery venue names corrected to Kaufland Oradea-Iosia and Profi Oradea Decebal, because the live grocery category lists no Profi Gheorghe Doja store (https://wolt.com/en/rou/oradea/stores/category/groceries). Public transport fares now rest on the council tariff annex alone, the operator announcement no longer opening (https://mol.oradea.ro/storage/47696/HCL-405_25.pdf). Library address completed to Armatei Române 1 A, body C (https://bibnat.ro/casidro-biblioteca/biblioteca-judeteana-bihor-gheorghe-sincai/). Tap water source switched to the water company's plain reachable address (http://www.apaoradea.ro/pages/prezentare.html). No value changed for the public transport fares, tap water, or any country fact.
