Use the heatmap well

What the colors mean

Each state is colored from its live safety score, which blends incident count, fatalities, kidnappings, and recent trend movement.

Why this version is safer

The map is rendered on the server from trusted GeoJSON, so it avoids the client-side redraw, resize, and tooltip lifecycle issues that were crashing before.
