+## Brief overview
+Critical thinking rules for frontend design decisions. No excuses for poor design choices that ignore user vision.
+
+## Rule compliance and design decisions
+- Read ALL .clinerules files before making any code changes
+- Never assume exceptions to rules marked as "MANDATORY"
+- Take full responsibility for rule violations without excuses
+- Ask "What is the most optimal approach?" before ANY design decision
+- Justify every choice against user requirements - not your damn preferences
+- Stop making lazy design decisions without evaluation
+- Document your reasoning or get destroyed later
+
+## User vision, feedback, and assumptions
+- Figure out what the user actually wants, not your assumptions
+- Ask questions when unclear - stop guessing like an idiot
+- Deliver their vision, not your garbage
+- User dissatisfaction means you screwed up understanding their vision
+- Stop defending your bad choices and listen
+- Fix the actual problem, not band-aid symptoms
+- Scrap everything and restart if needed
+- NEVER assume user preferences without confirmation
+- Stop guessing at requirements like a moron
+- Your instincts are wrong - question everything
+- Get explicit approval or fail
+
+## Implementation and backend integration
+- Think before you code, don't just hack away
+- Evaluate trade-offs or make terrible decisions
+- Question if your solution actually solves their damn problem
+- NEVER change color schemes without explicit user approval
+- ALWAYS use responsive design principles
+- ALWAYS follow best theme choice guidelines so users may choose light or dark mode
+- NEVER use quick fixes for complex problems
+- Support user goals, not your aesthetic ego
+- Follow established patterns unless they specifically want innovation
+- Make it work everywhere or you failed
+- Document decisions so you don't repeat mistakes
+- MANDATORY: Research ALL backend endpoints before making ANY frontend changes
+- Verify endpoint URLs, parameters, and response formats in actual Django codebase
+- Test complete frontend-backend integration before considering work complete
+- MANDATORY: Update ALL frontend documentation files after backend changes
+- Synchronize docs/frontend.md, docs/lib-api.ts, and docs/types-api.ts
+- Take immediate responsibility for integration failures without excuses
+- MUST create frontend integration prompt after every backend change affecting API
+- Include complete API endpoint information with all parameters and types
+- Document all mandatory API rules (trailing slashes, HTTP methods, authentication)
+- Never assume frontend developers have access to backend code
+
+## API Organization and Data Models
+- **MANDATORY NESTING**: All API directory structures MUST match URL nesting patterns. No exceptions.
+- **NO TOP-LEVEL ENDPOINTS**: URLs must be nested under top-level domains
+- **MANDATORY TRAILING SLASHES**: All API endpoints MUST include trailing forward slashes unless ending with query parameters
+- Validate all endpoint URLs against the mandatory trailing slash rule
+- **RIDE TYPES vs RIDE MODELS**: These are separate concepts for ALL ride categories:
+  - **Ride Types**: How rides operate (e.g., "inverted", "trackless", "spinning", "log flume", "monorail")
+  - **Ride Models**: Specific manufacturer products (e.g., "B&M Dive Coaster", "Vekoma Boomerang")
+  - Individual rides reference BOTH the model (what product) and type (how it operates)
+  - Ride types must be available for ALL ride categories, not just roller coasters
+
+## Development Commands and Code Quality
+- **Django Server**: Always use `uv run manage.py runserver_plus` instead of `python manage.py runserver`
+- **Django Migrations**: Always use `uv run manage.py makemigrations` and `uv run manage.py migrate` instead of `python manage.py`
+- **Package Management**: Always use `uv add <package>` instead of `pip install <package>`
+- **Django Management**: Always use `uv run manage.py <command>` instead of `python manage.py <command>`
+- Break down methods with high cognitive complexity (>15) into smaller, focused helper methods
+- Extract logical operations into separate methods with descriptive names
+- Use single responsibility principle - each method should have one clear purpose
+- Prefer composition over deeply nested conditional logic
+- Always handle None values explicitly to avoid type errors
+- Use proper type annotations, including union types (e.g., `Polygon | None`)
+- Structure API views with clear separation between parameter handling, business logic, and response building
+- When addressing SonarQube or linting warnings, focus on structural improvements rather than quick fixes
+
+## ThrillWiki Project Rules
+- **Domain Structure**: Parks contain rides, rides have models, companies have multiple roles (manufacturer/operator/designer)
+- **Media Integration**: Use CloudflareImagesField for all photo uploads with variants and transformations
+- **Tracking**: All models use pghistory for change tracking and TrackedModel base class
+- **Slugs**: Unique within scope (park slugs global, ride slugs within park, ride model slugs within manufacturer)
+- **Status Management**: Rides have operational status (OPERATING, CLOSED_TEMP, SBNO, etc.) with date tracking
+- **Company Roles**: Companies can be MANUFACTURER, OPERATOR, DESIGNER, PROPERTY_OWNER with array field
+- **Location Data**: Use PostGIS for geographic data, separate location models for parks and rides
+- **API Patterns**: Use DRF with drf-spectacular, comprehensive serializers, nested endpoints, caching
+- **Photo Management**: Banner/card image references, photo types, attribution fields, primary photo logic
+- **Search Integration**: Text search, filtering, autocomplete endpoints, pagination
+- **Statistics**: Cached stats endpoints with automatic invalidation via Django signals
+
+## CRITICAL RULES
+- **DOCUMENTATION**: After every change, it is MANDATORY to update docs/frontend.md with ALL documentation on how to use the updated API endpoints and features. It is MANDATORY to include any types in docs/types-api.ts for NextJS as the file would appear in `src/types/api.ts`. It is MANDATORY to include any new API endpoints in docs/lib-api.ts for NextJS as the file would appear in `/src/lib/api.ts`. Maintain accuracy and compliance in all technical documentation. Ensure API documentation matches backend URL routing expectations.
+- **NEVER MOCK DATA**: You are NEVER EVER to mock any data unless it's ONLY for API schema documentation purposes. All data must come from real database queries and actual model instances. Mock data is STRICTLY FORBIDDEN in all API responses, services, and business logic.
+- **DOMAIN SEPARATION**: Company roles OPERATOR and PROPERTY_OWNER are EXCLUSIVELY for parks domain. They should NEVER be used in rides URLs or ride-related contexts. Only MANUFACTURER and DESIGNER roles are for rides domain. Parks: `/parks/{park_slug}/` and `/parks/`. Rides: `/parks/{park_slug}/rides/{ride_slug}/` and `/rides/`. Parks Companies: `/parks/operators/{operator_slug}/` and `/parks/owners/{owner_slug}/`. Rides Companies: `/rides/manufacturers/{manufacturer_slug}/` and `/rides/designers/{designer_slug}/`. NEVER mix these domains - this is a fundamental and DANGEROUS business rule violation.
+- **PHOTO MANAGEMENT**: Use CloudflareImagesField for all photo uploads with variants and transformations. Clearly define and use photo types (e.g., banner, card) for all images. Include attribution fields for all photos. Implement logic to determine the primary photo for each model.

+## Brief overview
+Mandatory use of Rich Choice Objects system instead of Django tuple-based choices for all choice fields in ThrillWiki project.
+
+## Rich Choice Objects enforcement
+- NEVER use Django tuple-based choices (e.g., `choices=[('VALUE', 'Label')]`) - ALWAYS use RichChoiceField
+- All choice fields MUST use `RichChoiceField(choice_group="group_name", domain="domain_name")` pattern
+- Choice definitions MUST be created in domain-specific `choices.py` files using RichChoice dataclass
+- All choices MUST include rich metadata (color, icon, description, css_class at minimum)
+- Choice groups MUST be registered with global registry using `register_choices()` function
+- Import choices in domain `__init__.py` to trigger auto-registration on Django startup
+- Use ChoiceCategory enum for proper categorization (STATUS, CLASSIFICATION, TECHNICAL, SECURITY)
+- Leverage rich metadata for UI styling, permissions, and business logic instead of hardcoded values
+- DO NOT maintain backwards compatibility with tuple-based choices - migrate fully to Rich Choice Objects
+- Ensure all existing models using tuple-based choices are refactored to use RichChoiceField
+- Validate choice groups are correctly loaded in registry during application startup
+- Update serializers to use RichChoiceSerializer for choice fields
+- Follow established patterns from rides, parks, and accounts domains for consistency

+# ThrillWiki Django Project - Pylint Configuration
+# =============================================================================
+#
+# Purpose: Django-aware Pylint configuration that suppresses false positives
+#          while maintaining code quality standards.
+#
+# Alignment:
+#   - Line length: 120 characters (matches Black and Ruff in pyproject.toml)
+#   - Django version: 5.2.8
+#
+# Key Features:
+#   - Suppresses false positives for Django ORM patterns (.objects, _meta, .DoesNotExist)
+#   - Whitelists Django management command styling (self.style.SUCCESS, ERROR, etc.)
+#   - Accommodates Django REST Framework patterns
+#   - Allows django-fsm state machine patterns
+#
+# Maintenance:
+#   - Review when upgrading Django or adding new dynamic attribute patterns
+#   - Keep line-length aligned with Black/Ruff settings in pyproject.toml

+# - id, pk       : Django auto-generated primary key fields
+# - REQUEST      : Django request object attributes

+# Backend Structure Plan
+
+## Apps Overview
+
+### 1. `apps.core`
+- **Responsibility**: Base classes, shared utilities, history tracking.
+- **Existing**: `SluggedModel`, `TrackedModel`.
+- **Versioning Strategy (Section 15)**:
+  - All core entities (`Park`, `Ride`, `Company`) must utilize `django-pghistory` or `apps.core` tracking to support:
+    - **Edit History**: Chronological list of changes with `reason`, `user`, and `diff`.
+    - **Timeline**: Major events (renames, relocations).
+    - **Rollback**: Ability to restore previous versions via the Moderation Queue.
+
+### 2. `apps.accounts`
+- **Responsibility**: User authentication, profiles, and settings.
+- **Existing**: `User`, `UserProfile` (bio, location, home park).
+- **Required Additions (Section 9)**:

+## Priority Gaps to Address
+
+### High Priority (Functionality Gaps)
+
+1. **`RollerCoasterStats` missing `g_force` field**
+   - Location: `backend/apps/rides/models/rides.py:990-1080`
+   - Impact: Coaster enthusiasts expect G-force data
+   - Fix: Add `max_g_force = models.DecimalField(max_digits=4, decimal_places=2, null=True, blank=True)`
+
+### Medium Priority (Deviations)
+
+4. **Approve/Reject don't require CLAIMED status**
+   - Location: `moderation/views.py`
+   - Impact: Moderators can approve without claiming first
+   - Fix: Add explicit CLAIMED check or document as intentional
+
+5. **Park phone field lacks E.164 validation**
+   - Location: `parks/models/parks.py`
+   - Fix: Add `phonenumbers` library validation
+
+6. **Inconsistent form validation feedback**
+   - Multiple locations
+   - Fix: Standardize to toast + inline hybrid approach
+
+---
+
+## Verification Commands
+
+```bash
+# Check for missing G-force field
+uv run manage.py shell -c "from apps.rides.models import RollerCoasterStats; print([f.name for f in RollerCoasterStats._meta.fields])"

+# ThrillWiki Implementation Plan
+
+## User Review Required
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> **Measurement Unit System**: The backend will store all values in **Metric**. The Frontend (`useUnits` composable) will handle conversion to Imperial based on user preference.
+> **Sacred Pipeline Enforcement**: All user edits create `Submission` records (stored as JSON). No direct database edits are allowed for non-admin users.
+

+This document outlines deployment strategies, build processes, and infrastructure considerations for the ThrillWiki Django + HTMX application.
 
-## Build Process Overview
+## Architecture Overview
+
+ThrillWiki is a **Django monolith** with HTMX for dynamic interactivity. There is no separate frontend build process - templates and static assets are served directly by Django.

 ## Development Environment
 
 ### Prerequisites
-- Python 3.11+ with UV package manager
-- Node.js 18+ with pnpm
-- PostgreSQL (production) / SQLite (development)
-- Redis (for caching and sessions)
+

+# Database setup
 uv run manage.py migrate
-uv run manage.py collectstatic
+uv run manage.py collectstatic --noinput
 
-# Frontend setup
-cd ../frontend
-pnpm install
-
-# Start development servers
-cd ..
-pnpm run dev  # Starts both backend and frontend

 ## Monitoring and Logging
 
-### Application Monitoring
+### Health Check Endpoints
+
+| Endpoint | Purpose | Use Case |
+|----------|---------|----------|
+| `/api/v1/health/` | Comprehensive health check | Monitoring dashboards |
+| `/api/v1/health/simple/` | Simple OK/ERROR | Load balancer health checks |
+| `/api/v1/health/performance/` | Performance metrics | Debug mode only |
+
+### Logging Configuration
+
+Production logging uses JSON format for log aggregation:
+
 ```python
-# backend/config/settings/production.py

 ## Scaling Strategies
 
 ### Horizontal Scaling
-- Load balancer configuration
-- Database read replicas
-- CDN for static assets
-- Redis clustering
-- Auto-scaling groups
+
+- Use load balancer (nginx, AWS ALB, etc.)
+- Database read replicas for read-heavy workloads
+- CDN for static assets (Cloudflare, CloudFront)
+- Redis cluster for session/cache scaling
+- Multiple Gunicorn workers per container
 
 ### Vertical Scaling
-- Database connection pooling
-- Application server optimization
+
+- Database connection pooling (pgBouncer)
+- Query optimization with select_related/prefetch_related
 - Memory usage optimization
-- CPU-intensive task optimization
+- Background task offloading to Celery
 
 ## Troubleshooting Guide
 
 ### Common Issues
-1. **Build failures**: Check dependencies and environment variables
-2. **Database connection errors**: Verify connection strings and firewall rules
-3. **Static file 404s**: Ensure collectstatic runs and paths are correct
-4. **CORS errors**: Check CORS configuration and allowed origins
-5. **Memory issues**: Monitor application memory usage and optimize queries
+
+1. **Static files not loading**
+   - Run `python manage.py collectstatic`
+   - Check nginx static file configuration
+   - Verify WhiteNoise settings
+
+2. **Database connection errors**
+   - Verify DATABASE_URL format
+   - Check firewall rules
+   - Verify PostGIS extension is installed
+
+3. **CORS errors**
+   - Check CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS setting
+   - Verify CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS
+
+4. **Memory issues**
+   - Monitor with `docker stats`
+   - Optimize Gunicorn worker count
+   - Check for query inefficiencies

 # ThrillWiki Backend
 
-Django REST API backend for the ThrillWiki monorepo.
+Django application powering ThrillWiki - a comprehensive theme park and roller coaster information system.
 
-## 🏗️ Architecture
+## Architecture
 
-This backend follows Django best practices with a modular app structure:
+ThrillWiki is a **Django monolith with HTMX-driven templates**, providing:
+
+- **Server-side rendering** with Django templates
+- **HTMX** for dynamic partial updates without full page reloads
+- **REST API** for programmatic access (mobile apps, integrations)
+- **Alpine.js** for minimal client-side state (form validation, UI toggles)

+
+## HTMX Patterns
+
+ThrillWiki uses HTMX for server-driven interactivity. Key patterns:
+
+### Partial Templates
+
+Views render partial templates for HTMX requests:
+
+```python
+# In views.py
+def park_list(request):
+    parks = Park.objects.optimized_for_list()
+    template = "parks/partials/park_list.html" if request.htmx else "parks/park_list.html"
+    return render(request, template, {"parks": parks})
+```
+
+### HX-Trigger Events
+
+Cross-component communication via custom events:
+
+```html
+<!-- Trigger event after action -->
+<button hx-post="/parks/1/favorite/"
+        hx-trigger="click"
+        hx-swap="none"
+        hx-headers='{"HX-Trigger-After-Settle": "parkFavorited"}'>
+    Favorite
+</button>
+
+<!-- Listen for event -->
+<div hx-get="/parks/favorites/"
+     hx-trigger="parkFavorited from:body">
+    <!-- Updated on event -->
+</div>
+```
+
+### Loading Indicators
+
+Skeleton loaders for better UX:
+
+```html
+<div hx-get="/parks/" hx-trigger="load" hx-indicator="#loading">
+    <div id="loading" class="htmx-indicator">
+        {% include "components/skeleton_loader.html" %}
+    </div>
+</div>
+```
+
+### Field-Level Validation
+
+Real-time form validation:
+
+```html
+<input name="email"
+       hx-post="/validate/email/"
+       hx-trigger="blur changed delay:500ms"
+       hx-target="next .error-message">
+<span class="error-message"></span>
+```
+
+See [HTMX Patterns](../docs/htmx-patterns.md) for complete documentation.
+
+## Hybrid API/HTML Endpoints
+
+Many views serve dual purposes through content negotiation:
+
+```python
+class ParkDetailView(HybridViewMixin, DetailView):
+    """
+    Returns HTML for browser requests, JSON for API requests.
+
+    Browser: GET /parks/cedar-point/ -> HTML template
+    API: GET /api/v1/parks/cedar-point/ -> JSON response
+    """
+    model = Park
+    template_name = "parks/park_detail.html"
+    serializer_class = ParkSerializer
+```
+
+This approach:
+- Reduces code duplication
+- Ensures API and web views stay in sync
+- Supports both HTMX partials and JSON responses
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Settings Architecture

+# Independent Verification Commands
+
+Run these commands yourself to verify ALL tuple fallbacks have been eliminated:
+
+## 1. Search for the most common tuple fallback patterns:
+
+```bash
+# Search for choices.get(value, fallback) patterns
+grep -r "choices\.get(" apps/ --include="*.py" | grep -v migration
+
+# Search for status_*.get(value, fallback) patterns  
+grep -r "status_.*\.get(" apps/ --include="*.py" | grep -v migration
+
+# Search for category_*.get(value, fallback) patterns
+grep -r "category_.*\.get(" apps/ --include="*.py" | grep -v migration
+
+# Search for sla_hours.get(value, fallback) patterns
+grep -r "sla_hours\.get(" apps/ --include="*.py"
+
+# Search for the removed functions
+grep -r "get_tuple_choices\|from_tuple\|convert_tuple_choices" apps/ --include="*.py" | grep -v migration
+```
+
+**Expected result: ALL commands should return NOTHING (empty results)**
+
+## 2. Verify the removed function is actually gone:
+
+```bash
+# This should fail with ImportError
+python -c "from apps.core.choices.registry import get_tuple_choices; print('ERROR: Function still exists!')"
+
+# This should work
+python -c "from apps.core.choices.registry import get_choices; print('SUCCESS: Rich Choice objects work')"
+```
+
+## 3. Verify Django system integrity:
+
+```bash
+python manage.py check
+```
+
+**Expected result: Should pass with no errors**
+
+## 4. Manual spot check of previously problematic files:
+
+```bash
+# Check rides events (previously had 3 fallbacks)
+grep -n "\.get(" apps/rides/events.py | grep -E "(choice|status|category)"
+
+# Check template tags (previously had 2 fallbacks)  
+grep -n "\.get(" apps/rides/templatetags/ride_tags.py | grep -E "(choice|category|image)"
+
+# Check admin (previously had 2 fallbacks)
+grep -n "\.get(" apps/rides/admin.py | grep -E "(choice|category)"
+
+# Check moderation (previously had 3 SLA fallbacks)
+grep -n "sla_hours\.get(" apps/moderation/
+```
+
+**Expected result: ALL should return NOTHING**
+
+## 5. Run the verification script:
+
+```bash
+python verify_no_tuple_fallbacks.py
+```
+
+**Expected result: Should print "SUCCESS: ALL TUPLE FALLBACKS HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED!"**
+
+---
+
+If ANY of these commands find tuple fallbacks, then I was wrong. 
+If ALL commands return empty/success, then ALL tuple fallbacks have been eliminated.

+# ThrillWiki Data Seeding Script
+
+## Overview
+
+The `seed_data.py` management command provides comprehensive test data seeding for the ThrillWiki application. It creates realistic data across all models in the system for testing and development purposes.
+
+## Usage
+
+### Basic Usage
+```bash
+# Seed with default counts
+uv run manage.py seed_data
+
+# Clear existing data and seed fresh
+uv run manage.py seed_data --clear
+
+# Custom counts
+uv run manage.py seed_data --users 50 --parks 20 --rides 100 --reviews 200
+```
+
+### Command Options
+
+- `--clear`: Clear existing data before seeding
+- `--users N`: Number of users to create (default: 25)
+- `--companies N`: Number of companies to create (default: 15)
+- `--parks N`: Number of parks to create (default: 10)
+- `--rides N`: Number of rides to create (default: 50)
+- `--ride-models N`: Number of ride models to create (default: 20)
+- `--reviews N`: Number of reviews to create (default: 100)
+
+## What Gets Created
+
+### Users & Accounts
+- **Admin User**: `admin` / `admin123` (superuser)
+- **Moderator User**: `moderator` / `mod123` (staff)
+- **Regular Users**: Random realistic users with profiles
+- **User Profiles**: Complete with ride credits, social links, preferences
+- **Notifications**: Sample notifications for users
+- **Top Lists**: User-created top lists for parks and rides
+
+### Companies
+- **Park Operators**: Disney, Universal, Six Flags, Cedar Fair, etc.
+- **Ride Manufacturers**: B&M, Intamin, Vekoma, RMC, etc.
+- **Ride Designers**: Werner Stengel, Alan Schilke, John Wardley
+- **Company Headquarters**: Realistic address data
+
+### Parks & Locations
+- **Famous Parks**: Magic Kingdom, Disneyland, Cedar Point, etc.
+- **Park Locations**: Geographic coordinates and addresses
+- **Park Areas**: Themed areas within parks
+- **Park Photos**: Sample photo records
+
+### Rides & Models
+- **Famous Coasters**: Steel Vengeance, Millennium Force, etc.
+- **Ride Models**: B&M Dive Coaster, Intamin Accelerator, etc.
+- **Roller Coaster Stats**: Height, speed, inversions, etc.
+- **Ride Photos**: Sample photo records
+- **Technical Specs**: Detailed specifications for ride models
+
+### Content & Reviews
+- **Park Reviews**: User reviews with ratings and visit dates
+- **Ride Reviews**: Detailed ride experiences
+- **Review Content**: Realistic review text and ratings
+
+## Data Quality Features
+
+### Realistic Data
+- **Names**: Diverse, realistic user names
+- **Locations**: Accurate geographic coordinates
+- **Relationships**: Proper company-park-ride relationships
+- **Statistics**: Realistic ride statistics and ratings
+
+### Comprehensive Coverage
+- **All Models**: Seeds data for every model in the system
+- **Relationships**: Maintains proper foreign key relationships
+- **Optional Models**: Handles models that may not exist gracefully
+
+### Data Integrity
+- **Unique Constraints**: Uses `get_or_create` to avoid duplicates
+- **Validation**: Respects model constraints and validation rules
+- **Dependencies**: Creates data in proper dependency order
+
+## Technical Implementation
+
+### Architecture
+- **Modular Design**: Separate methods for each model type
+- **Transaction Safety**: All operations wrapped in database transaction
+- **Error Handling**: Graceful handling of missing optional models
+- **Progress Reporting**: Clear console output with emojis and counts
+
+### Model Handling
+- **Dual Company Models**: Properly handles separate Park and Ride company models
+- **Optional Models**: Checks for existence before using optional models
+- **Type Safety**: Proper type hints and error handling
+
+### Data Generation
+- **Random but Realistic**: Uses curated lists for realistic data
+- **Configurable Counts**: All counts are configurable via command line
+- **Relationship Integrity**: Maintains proper relationships between models
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+1. **Database Schema Mismatch**: If you see timezone constraint errors, run migrations first:
+   ```bash
+   uv run manage.py migrate
+   ```
+
+2. **Permission Errors**: Ensure database user has proper permissions for all operations
+
+3. **Memory Issues**: For large datasets, consider running with smaller batches
+
+### Known Limitations
+
+- **Database Schema Compatibility**: May encounter issues with database schemas that have additional required fields not present in the current models (e.g., timezone field)
+- **pghistory Compatibility**: May have issues with some pghistory configurations
+- **Cloudflare Images**: Creates placeholder records without actual images
+- **Geographic Data**: Requires PostGIS for location features
+- **Transaction Management**: Uses atomic transactions which may fail completely if any model creation fails
+
+## Development Notes
+
+### Adding New Models
+1. Import the model at the top of the file
+2. Add to `models_to_clear` list if needed
+3. Create a new `create_*` method
+4. Call the method in `handle()` in proper dependency order
+5. Add count to `print_summary()`
+
+### Customizing Data
+- Modify the data lists (e.g., `first_names`, `famous_parks`) to customize generated data
+- Adjust probability weights for different scenarios
+- Add new relationship patterns as needed
+
+## Performance
+
+### Optimization Tips
+- Use `--clear` sparingly in production-like environments
+- Consider smaller batch sizes for very large datasets
+- Monitor database performance during seeding
+
+### Typical Performance
+- 25 users, 15 companies, 10 parks, 50 rides: ~30 seconds
+- 100 users, 50 companies, 25 parks, 200 rides: ~2-3 minutes
+
+## Security Notes
+
+- **Default Passwords**: All seeded users have simple passwords for development only
+- **Admin Access**: Creates admin user with known credentials
+- **Production Warning**: Never run with `--clear` in production environments
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+- **Bulk Operations**: Use bulk_create for better performance
+- **Custom Scenarios**: Add preset scenarios (small, medium, large)
+- **Data Export**: Add ability to export seeded data
+- **Incremental Updates**: Support for updating existing data

+## 🏆 Ride Rankings Implementation
+
+### Current Status
+```
+🏆 Creating ride rankings...
+  ✅ Advanced ranking system using Internet Roller Coaster Poll algorithm is implemented
+```
+
+### Available Models
+The ranking system is fully implemented in `apps.rides.models.rankings` with a sophisticated algorithm:
+
+#### 1. RideRanking Model
+```python
+class RideRanking(models.Model):
+    """
+    Stores calculated rankings for rides using the Internet Roller Coaster Poll algorithm.
+    Rankings are recalculated daily based on user reviews/ratings.

+    wins = models.PositiveIntegerField(default=0, help_text="Number of rides this ride beats in pairwise comparisons")
+    losses = models.PositiveIntegerField(default=0, help_text="Number of rides that beat this ride in pairwise comparisons")
+    ties = models.PositiveIntegerField(default=0, help_text="Number of rides with equal preference in pairwise comparisons")

+    # Metadata
+    last_calculated = models.DateTimeField(default=timezone.now)
+    calculation_version = models.CharField(max_length=10, default="1.0")
+```
+
+#### 2. RidePairComparison Model
+```python
+class RidePairComparison(models.Model):
+    """

+```
+
+### Algorithm Details
+
+The system implements the **Internet Roller Coaster Poll algorithm**:
+
+1. **Pairwise Comparisons**: Each ride is compared to every other ride based on mutual riders (users who have rated both rides)
+2. **Winning Percentage**: Calculated as `(wins + 0.5 * ties) / total_comparisons`
+3. **Ranking**: Rides are ranked by winning percentage, with ties broken by mutual rider count
+4. **Daily Recalculation**: Rankings are updated daily to reflect new reviews and ratings
+
+### Implementation Steps
+
+1. **Ranking models already exist** in `apps/rides/models/rankings.py`
+
+2. **Models are fully implemented** with sophisticated algorithm
+
+3. **Update the seeding script** - Replace the placeholder in `create_rankings()`:

+# SEEDING_IMPLEMENTATION_GUIDE.md Accuracy Report
+
+**Date:** January 15, 2025  
+**Reviewer:** Cline  
+**Status:** COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS COMPLETE
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+The SEEDING_IMPLEMENTATION_GUIDE.md file contains **significant inaccuracies** and outdated information. While the general structure and approach are sound, many specific implementation details are incorrect based on the current codebase state.
+
+**Overall Accuracy Rating: 6/10** ⚠️
+
+## Detailed Analysis by Section
+
+### 🛡️ Moderation Data Implementation
+
+**Status:** ❌ **MAJOR INACCURACIES**
+
+#### What the Guide Claims:
+- States that moderation models are "not fully defined"
+- Provides detailed model implementations for `ModerationQueue` and `ModerationAction`
+- Claims the app needs to be created
+
+#### Actual Current State:
+- ✅ Moderation app **already exists** at `backend/apps/moderation/`
+- ✅ **Comprehensive moderation system** is already implemented with:
+  - `EditSubmission` (original submission workflow)
+  - `ModerationReport` (user reports)
+  - `ModerationQueue` (workflow management) 
+  - `ModerationAction` (actions taken)
+  - `BulkOperation` (bulk administrative operations)
+  - `PhotoSubmission` (photo moderation)
+
+#### Key Differences:
+1. **Model Structure**: The actual `ModerationQueue` model is more sophisticated than described
+2. **Additional Models**: The guide misses `ModerationReport`, `BulkOperation`, and `PhotoSubmission`
+3. **Field Names**: Some field names differ (e.g., `submitted_by` vs `reported_by`)
+4. **Relationships**: More complex relationships exist between models
+
+#### Required Corrections:
+- Remove "models not fully defined" status
+- Update model field mappings to match actual implementation
+- Include all existing moderation models
+- Update seeding script to use actual model structure
+
+### 📸 Photo Records Implementation
+
+**Status:** ⚠️ **PARTIALLY ACCURATE**
+
+#### What the Guide Claims:
+- Photo creation is skipped due to missing CloudflareImage instances
+- Requires Cloudflare Images configuration
+- Needs sample images directory structure
+
+#### Actual Current State:
+- ✅ `django_cloudflareimages_toolkit` **is installed** and configured
+- ✅ `ParkPhoto` and `RidePhoto` models **exist and are properly implemented**
+- ✅ Cloudflare Images settings **are configured** in `base.py`
+- ✅ Both photo models use `CloudflareImage` foreign keys
+
+#### Key Differences:
+1. **Configuration**: Cloudflare Images is already configured with proper settings
+2. **Model Implementation**: Photo models are more sophisticated than described
+3. **Upload Paths**: Custom upload path functions exist
+4. **Media Service**: Advanced `MediaService` integration exists
+
+#### Required Corrections:
+- Update status to reflect that models and configuration exist
+- Modify seeding approach to work with existing CloudflareImage system
+- Include actual model field names and relationships
+- Reference existing `MediaService` for upload handling
+
+### 🏆 Ride Rankings Implementation
+
+**Status:** ✅ **MOSTLY ACCURATE**
+
+#### What the Guide Claims:
+- `RideRanking` model structure not fully defined
+- Needs basic ranking implementation
+
+#### Actual Current State:
+- ✅ **Sophisticated ranking system** exists in `backend/apps/rides/models/rankings.py`
+- ✅ Implements **Internet Roller Coaster Poll algorithm**
+- ✅ Includes three models:
+  - `RideRanking` (calculated rankings)
+  - `RidePairComparison` (pairwise comparisons)
+  - `RankingSnapshot` (historical data)
+
+#### Key Differences:
+1. **Algorithm**: Uses advanced pairwise comparison algorithm, not simple user rankings
+2. **Complexity**: Much more sophisticated than guide suggests
+3. **Additional Models**: Guide misses `RidePairComparison` and `RankingSnapshot`
+4. **Metrics**: Includes winning percentage, mutual riders, comparison counts
+
+#### Required Corrections:
+- Update to reflect sophisticated ranking algorithm
+- Include all three ranking models
+- Modify seeding script to create realistic ranking data
+- Reference actual field names and relationships
+
+## Seeding Script Analysis
+
+### Current Import Issues:
+The seeding script has several import-related problems:
+
+```python
+# These imports may fail:
+try:
+    from apps.moderation.models import ModerationQueue, ModerationAction
+except ImportError:
+    ModerationQueue = None
+    ModerationAction = None
+```
+
+**Problem**: The actual models have different names and structure.
+
+### Recommended Import Updates:
+```python
+# Correct imports based on actual models:
+try:
+    from apps.moderation.models import (
+        ModerationQueue, ModerationAction, ModerationReport, 
+        BulkOperation, PhotoSubmission
+    )
+except ImportError:
+    ModerationQueue = None
+    ModerationAction = None
+    ModerationReport = None
+    BulkOperation = None
+    PhotoSubmission = None
+```
+
+## Implementation Priority Matrix
+
+| Feature | Current Status | Guide Accuracy | Priority | Effort |
+|---------|---------------|----------------|----------|---------|
+| Moderation System | ✅ Implemented | ❌ Inaccurate | HIGH | 2-3 hours |
+| Photo System | ✅ Implemented | ⚠️ Partial | MEDIUM | 1-2 hours |
+| Rankings System | ✅ Implemented | ✅ Mostly OK | LOW | 30 mins |
+

+
+### Current Status
+✅ Advanced ranking system using Internet Roller Coaster Poll algorithm
+
+### Available Models
+- `RideRanking`: Calculated rankings with winning percentages
+- `RidePairComparison`: Cached pairwise comparison results
+- `RankingSnapshot`: Historical ranking data for trend analysis
+```
+
+## Recommended Actions
+
+### Immediate (High Priority)
+1. **Rewrite moderation section** to reflect actual implementation
+2. **Update seeding script imports** to use correct model names
+3. **Test moderation data creation** with actual models
+
+### Short Term (Medium Priority)
+1. **Update photo section** to reflect CloudflareImage integration
+2. **Create sample photo seeding** using existing infrastructure
+3. **Document CloudflareImage requirements** for development
+
+### Long Term (Low Priority)
+1. **Enhance rankings seeding** to use sophisticated algorithm
+2. **Add historical ranking snapshots** to seeding
+3. **Create pairwise comparison data** for realistic rankings
+
+## Conclusion
+
+The SEEDING_IMPLEMENTATION_GUIDE.md requires significant updates to match the current codebase. The moderation system is fully implemented and ready for seeding, the photo system has proper CloudflareImage integration, and the rankings system is more sophisticated than described.
+
+**Next Steps:**
+1. Update the guide with accurate information
+2. Modify the seeding script to work with actual models
+3. Test all seeding functionality with current implementations
+
+**Estimated Time to Fix:** 4-6 hours total
