/**
 * The 50 US states + DC, as 2-letter USPS codes (no territories).
 *
 * This is an explicit canonical list on purpose: the older
 * `STATE_NAME_TO_CODE` map in {@link ../utils/stateMapping} is dirty (duplicate
 * and invalid entries like `VR`, `Oregon`), so it is NOT safe to derive launch
 * targets from it. The batch-jobs dashboard sends these codes straight to the
 * scraper, which validates each against `^[A-Z]{2}$`.
