```

### Package Management with UV

ThrillWiki exclusively uses UV for Python package management, providing:

- **Faster dependency resolution**: Significantly faster than pip
- **Lock file support**: Ensures reproducible environments
- **Virtual environment management**: Automatic environment handling
- **Cross-platform compatibility**: Consistent behavior across development environments

#### Critical Commands

```bash
# Add new dependencies
uv add <package>

# Django management (NEVER use python manage.py)
uv run manage.py <command>

# Development server startup
lsof -ti :8000 | xargs kill -9; find . -type d -name "__pycache__" -exec rm -r {} +; uv run manage.py tailwind runserver
```

## Database Models and Relationships

### Entity Relationship Architecture

ThrillWiki implements a sophisticated entity relationship model that enforces business rules at the database level:

#### Core Business Rules (from .clinerules)

1. **Park Relationships**
   - Parks MUST have an Operator (required relationship)
   - Parks MAY have a PropertyOwner (optional, usually same as Operator)
   - Parks CANNOT directly reference Company entities

2. **Ride Relationships**
   - Rides MUST belong to a Park (required relationship)
   - Rides MAY have a Manufacturer (optional relationship)
   - Rides MAY have a Designer (optional relationship)
   - Rides CANNOT directly reference Company entities

3. **Entity Definitions**
   - **Operators**: Companies that operate theme parks
   - **PropertyOwners**: Companies that own park property (new concept)
   - **Manufacturers**: Companies that manufacture rides
   - **Designers**: Companies/individuals that design rides

### Core Model Structure

#### Park Models (`parks/models/`)

```python
# Park Entity
class Park(TrackedModel):
    # Core identifiers
    name = CharField(max_length=255)
    slug = SlugField(max_length=255, unique=True)
    
    # Business relationships (enforced by .clinerules)
    operator = ForeignKey('Company', related_name='operated_parks')
    property_owner = ForeignKey('Company', related_name='owned_parks', null=True)
    
    # Operational data
    status = CharField(choices=STATUS_CHOICES, default="OPERATING")
    opening_date = DateField(null=True, blank=True)
    size_acres = DecimalField(max_digits=10, decimal_places=2)
    
    # Statistics
    average_rating = DecimalField(max_digits=3, decimal_places=2)
    ride_count = IntegerField(null=True, blank=True)
    coaster_count = IntegerField(null=True, blank=True)
```

#### Ride Models (`rides/models/`)

```python
# Ride Entity
class Ride(TrackedModel):
    # Core identifiers
    name = CharField(max_length=255)
    slug = SlugField(max_length=255)
    
    # Required relationships (enforced by .clinerules)
    park = ForeignKey('parks.Park', related_name='rides')
    
    # Optional business relationships
    manufacturer = ForeignKey('Company', related_name='manufactured_rides')
    designer = ForeignKey('Company', related_name='designed_rides')
    ride_model = ForeignKey('RideModel', related_name='rides')
    
    # Classification
    category = CharField(choices=CATEGORY_CHOICES)
    status = CharField(choices=STATUS_CHOICES, default='OPERATING')
```

#### Company Models (Shared across apps)

```python
# Company Entity (supports multiple roles)
class Company(TrackedModel):
    class CompanyRole(TextChoices):
        OPERATOR = 'OPERATOR', 'Park Operator'
        PROPERTY_OWNER = 'PROPERTY_OWNER', 'Property Owner'
        MANUFACTURER = 'MANUFACTURER', 'Ride Manufacturer'
        DESIGNER = 'DESIGNER', 'Ride Designer'
    
    name = CharField(max_length=255)
    slug = SlugField(max_length=255, unique=True)
    roles = ArrayField(CharField(choices=CompanyRole.choices))
```

### Geographic Models (`location/models/`)

```python
# Generic Location Model
class Location(TrackedModel):
    # Generic relationship (can attach to any model)
    content_type = ForeignKey(ContentType)
    object_id = PositiveIntegerField()
    content_object = GenericForeignKey('content_type', 'object_id')
    
    # Geographic data (dual storage for compatibility)
    latitude = DecimalField(max_digits=9, decimal_places=6)
    longitude = DecimalField(max_digits=9, decimal_places=6)
    point = PointField(srid=4326)  # PostGIS geometry field
    
    # Address components
    street_address = CharField(max_length=255)
    city = CharField(max_length=100)
    state = CharField(max_length=100)
    country = CharField(max_length=100)
    postal_code = CharField(max_length=20)
```

### History Tracking with pghistory

Every critical model uses `@pghistory.track()` decoration for comprehensive audit trails:

```python
@pghistory.track()
class Park(TrackedModel):
    # All field changes are automatically tracked
    # Creates parallel history tables with full change logs
```

### Media and Content Models

```python
# Generic Photo Model
class Photo(TrackedModel):
    # Generic relationship support
    content_type = ForeignKey(ContentType)
    object_id = PositiveIntegerField()
    content_object = GenericForeignKey('content_type', 'object_id')
    
    # Media handling
    image = ImageField(upload_to=photo_upload_path, storage=MediaStorage())
    is_primary = BooleanField(default=False)
    is_approved = BooleanField(default=False)
    
    # Metadata extraction
    date_taken = DateTimeField(null=True)  # Auto-extracted from EXIF
    uploaded_by = ForeignKey(User, related_name='uploaded_photos')
```

### User and Authentication Models

```python
# Extended User Model
class User(AbstractUser):
    class Roles(TextChoices):
        USER = 'USER', 'User'
        MODERATOR = 'MODERATOR', 'Moderator'
        ADMIN = 'ADMIN', 'Admin'
        SUPERUSER = 'SUPERUSER', 'Superuser'
    
    # Immutable identifier
    user_id = CharField(max_length=10, unique=True, editable=False)
    
    # Permission system
    role = CharField(choices=Roles.choices, default=Roles.USER)
    
    # User preferences
    theme_preference = CharField(choices=ThemePreference.choices)
```

## Visual Theme and Design System

### Design Philosophy

ThrillWiki implements a sophisticated **dark-first design system** with vibrant accent colors that reflect the excitement of theme parks and roller coasters.

#### Color Palette

```css
:root {
  --primary: #4f46e5;     /* Vibrant indigo */
  --secondary: #e11d48;   /* Vibrant rose */
  --accent: #8b5cf6;      /* Purple accent */
}
```

#### Background Gradients

```css
/* Light theme */
body {
  background: linear-gradient(to bottom right, 
    white, 
    rgb(239 246 255), /* blue-50 */
    rgb(238 242 255)  /* indigo-50 */
  );
}

/* Dark theme */
body.dark {
  background: linear-gradient(to bottom right,
    rgb(3 7 18),      /* gray-950 */
    rgb(49 46 129),   /* indigo-950 */
    rgb(59 7 100)     /* purple-950 */
  );
}
```

### Tailwind CSS Configuration

#### Custom Configuration (`tailwind.config.js`)

```javascript
module.exports = {
  darkMode: 'class',  // Class-based dark mode
  content: [
    './templates/**/*.html',
    './assets/css/src/**/*.css',
  ],
  theme: {
    extend: {
      colors: {
        primary: '#4f46e5',
        secondary: '#e11d48', 
        accent: '#8b5cf6'
      },
      fontFamily: {
        'sans': ['Poppins', 'sans-serif'],
      },
    },
  },
  plugins: [
    require("@tailwindcss/typography"),
    require("@tailwindcss/forms"),
    require("@tailwindcss/aspect-ratio"),
    require("@tailwindcss/container-queries"),
    // Custom HTMX variants
    plugin(function ({ addVariant }) {
      addVariant("htmx-settling", ["&.htmx-settling", ".htmx-settling &"]);
      addVariant("htmx-request", ["&.htmx-request", ".htmx-request &"]);
      addVariant("htmx-swapping", ["&.htmx-swapping", ".htmx-swapping &"]);
      addVariant("htmx-added", ["&.htmx-added", ".htmx-added &"]);
    }),
  ],
}
```

### Component System (`static/css/src/input.css`)

#### Button Components

```css
.btn-primary {
  @apply inline-flex items-center px-6 py-2.5 border border-transparent 
         rounded-full shadow-md text-sm font-medium text-white 
         bg-gradient-to-r from-primary to-secondary 
         hover:from-primary/90 hover:to-secondary/90 
         focus:outline-none focus:ring-2 focus:ring-offset-2 focus:ring-primary/50 
         transform hover:scale-105 transition-all;
}

.btn-secondary {
  @apply inline-flex items-center px-6 py-2.5 border border-gray-200 
         dark:border-gray-700 rounded-full shadow-md text-sm font-medium 
         text-gray-700 dark:text-gray-200 bg-white dark:bg-gray-800 
         hover:bg-gray-50 dark:hover:bg-gray-700 
         transform hover:scale-105 transition-all;
}
```

#### Navigation Components

```css
.nav-link {
  @apply flex items-center text-gray-700 dark:text-gray-200 
         px-6 py-2.5 rounded-lg font-medium border border-transparent 
         hover:border-primary/20 dark:hover:border-primary/30
         hover:text-primary dark:text-primary 
         hover:bg-primary/10 dark:bg-primary/20;
}
```

#### Card System

```css
.card {
  @apply p-6 bg-white dark:bg-gray-800 border rounded-lg shadow-lg 
         border-gray-200/50 dark:border-gray-700/50;
}

.card-hover {
  @apply transition-transform transform hover:-translate-y-1;
}
```

#### Responsive Grid System

```css
/* Adaptive grid with content-aware sizing */
.grid-adaptive {
  @apply grid gap-6;
  grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(280px, 1fr));
}

/* Stats grid with even layouts */
.grid-stats {
  @apply grid gap-4;
  grid-template-columns: repeat(2, 1fr);  /* Mobile: 2 columns */
}

@media (min-width: 1024px) {
  .grid-stats {
    grid-template-columns: repeat(3, 1fr);  /* Desktop: 3 columns */
  }
}

@media (min-width: 1280px) {
  .grid-stats {
    grid-template-columns: repeat(5, 1fr);  /* Large: 5 columns */
  }
}
```

### Dark Mode Implementation

#### Theme Toggle System

The theme system provides:
- **Automatic detection** of system preference
- **Manual toggle** with persistent storage
- **Flash prevention** during page load
- **Smooth transitions** between themes

```javascript
// Theme initialization (prevents flash)
let theme = localStorage.getItem("theme");
if (!theme) {
  theme = window.matchMedia("(prefers-color-scheme: dark)").matches
    ? "dark" : "light";
  localStorage.setItem("theme", theme);
}
if (theme === "dark") {
  document.documentElement.classList.add("dark");
}
```

#### CSS Custom Properties for Theme Switching

```css
/* Theme-aware components */
.auth-card {
  @apply w-full max-w-md p-8 mx-auto border shadow-xl 
         bg-white/90 dark:bg-gray-800/90 rounded-2xl backdrop-blur-sm 
         border-gray-200/50 dark:border-gray-700/50;
}

/* Status badges with theme support */
.status-operating {
  @apply text-green-800 bg-green-100 dark:bg-green-700 dark:text-green-50;
}

.status-closed {
  @apply text-red-800 bg-red-100 dark:bg-red-700 dark:text-red-50;
}
```

## Frontend Implementation Patterns

### HTMX Integration Patterns

ThrillWiki leverages HTMX for dynamic interactions while maintaining server-side rendering benefits:

#### Dynamic Content Loading

```html
<!-- Search with live results -->
<form hx-get="{% url 'parks:search' %}" 
      hx-target="#search-results" 
      hx-trigger="input changed delay:300ms">
  <input type="text" name="q" placeholder="Search parks and rides...">
</form>

<div id="search-results" 
     hx-indicator="#loading-spinner">
  <!-- Results loaded dynamically -->
</div>
```

#### Modal Interactions

```html
<!-- HTMX-powered modals -->
<div hx-get="{% url 'account_login' %}"
     hx-target="body"
     hx-swap="beforeend"
     class="cursor-pointer menu-item">
  <span>Login</span>
</div>
```

#### Custom HTMX Variants

```css
/* Loading states */
.htmx-request .htmx-indicator {
  display: block;
}

/* Transition effects */
.htmx-settling {
  opacity: 0.7;
  transition: opacity 0.3s ease;
}

.htmx-swapping {
  transform: scale(0.98);
  transition: transform 0.2s ease;
}
```

### Alpine.js Patterns

Alpine.js handles client-side state management and interactions:

#### Dropdown Components

```html
<div x-data="{ open: false }" 
     @click.outside="open = false">
  <!-- Profile dropdown -->
  <img @click="open = !open" 
       src="{{ user.profile.avatar.url }}" 
       class="cursor-pointer">
  
  <div x-cloak
       x-show="open"
       x-transition:enter="transition ease-out duration-100"
       x-transition:enter-start="transform opacity-0 scale-95"
       x-transition:enter-end="transform opacity-100 scale-100">
    <!-- Dropdown content -->
  </div>
</div>
```

#### Modal Management

```html
<div x-data="{ 
       show: false, 
       editingPhoto: null,
       init() { this.editingPhoto = { caption: '' }; }
     }"
     @show-photo-upload.window="show = true; init()">
  <!-- Modal implementation -->
</div>
```

### JavaScript Architecture (`static/js/`)

#### Modular JavaScript Organization

```
static/js/
├── main.js              # Core functionality (theme, navigation)
├── alerts.js            # Alert system management
├── photo-gallery.js     # Photo gallery interactions
├── park-map.js          # Leaflet map integration
├── location-autocomplete.js  # Geographic search
└── alpine.min.js        # Alpine.js framework
```

#### Theme Management (`static/js/main.js`)

```javascript
// Theme handling with system preference detection
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {
  const themeToggle = document.getElementById('theme-toggle');
  const html = document.documentElement;
  
  // Initialize toggle state
  if (themeToggle) {
    themeToggle.checked = html.classList.contains('dark');
    
    // Handle toggle changes
    themeToggle.addEventListener('change', function() {
      const isDark = this.checked;
      html.classList.toggle('dark', isDark);
      localStorage.setItem('theme', isDark ? 'dark' : 'light');
    });
    
    // Listen for system theme changes
    const mediaQuery = window.matchMedia('(prefers-color-scheme: dark)');
    mediaQuery.addEventListener('change', (e) => {
      if (!localStorage.getItem('theme')) {
        const isDark = e.matches;
        html.classList.toggle('dark', isDark);
        themeToggle.checked = isDark;
      }
    });
  }
});
```

#### Mobile Navigation

```javascript
// Mobile menu with smooth transitions
const toggleMenu = () => {
  isMenuOpen = !isMenuOpen;
  mobileMenu.classList.toggle('show', isMenuOpen);
  mobileMenuBtn.setAttribute('aria-expanded', isMenuOpen.toString());
  
  // Update icon
  const icon = mobileMenuBtn.querySelector('i');
  icon.classList.remove(isMenuOpen ? 'fa-bars' : 'fa-times');
  icon.classList.add(isMenuOpen ? 'fa-times' : 'fa-bars');
};
```

### Template System Patterns

#### Component-Based Architecture

```
templates/
├── base/
│   └── base.html            # Base template with navigation
├── core/
│   ├── search/
│   │   ├── components/      # Search UI components
│   │   ├── layouts/         # Search layout templates
│   │   └── partials/        # Reusable search elements
├── parks/
│   ├── partials/
│   │   ├── park_list_item.html     # Reusable park card
│   │   ├── park_actions.html       # Action buttons
│   │   └── park_stats.html         # Statistics display
│   ├── park_detail.html            # Main park page
│   └── park_list.html              # Park listing page
└── media/
    └── partials/
        ├── photo_display.html      # Photo gallery component
        └── photo_upload.html       # Upload interface
```

#### Template Inheritance Pattern

```html
<!-- base/base.html -->
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <title>{% block title %}ThrillWiki{% endblock %}</title>
  {% block extra_head %}{% endblock %}
</head>
<body class="bg-gradient-to-br from-white via-blue-50 to-indigo-50 
             dark:from-gray-950 dark:via-indigo-950 dark:to-purple-950">
  
  {% include "base/navigation.html" %}
  
  <main class="container flex-grow px-6 py-8 mx-auto">
    {% block content %}{% endblock %}
  </main>
  
  {% block extra_js %}{% endblock %}
</body>
</html>
```

#### HTMX Template Patterns

```html
<!-- Responsive template selection -->
{% extends "base/base.html" %}

{% block content %}
<div hx-get="{% url 'parks:park_list' %}"
     hx-target="#park-grid"
     hx-swap="innerHTML"
     hx-trigger="load, view-change from:body">
  
  <div id="park-grid" class="grid-adaptive">
    {% include "parks/partials/park_list_item.html" %}
  </div>
</div>
{% endblock %}
```

- **Contextual actions**: Edit/moderate buttons appear based on user permissions
- **Progressive disclosure**: Detailed information revealed as needed

#### 2. Advanced Search and Filtering

**Unified Search System** supports:

- **Cross-content search**: Parks, rides, companies in single interface
- **Geographic filtering**: Search within specific regions or distances
- **Attribute filtering**: Status, ride types, ratings, opening dates
- **Real-time results**: HTMX-powered instant search feedback

**Search Result Patterns**:
```html
<!-- Search results with context -->
<div class="search-result-item">
  <div class="result-type-badge">Park</div>
  <h3 class="result-title">{{ park.name }}</h3>
  <p class="result-location">{{ park.formatted_location }}</p>
  <div class="result-stats">
    <span>{{ park.ride_count }} rides</span>
    <span>{{ park.get_status_display }}</span>
  </div>
</div>
```

#### 3. Geographic and Mapping Features

**Unified Map Service** provides:

- **Multi-layer mapping**: Parks, rides, and companies on single map
- **Intelligent clustering**: Zoom-level appropriate point grouping
- **Performance optimization**: Smart caching and result limiting
- **Geographic bounds**: Efficient spatial queries using PostGIS

**Map Integration Pattern**:
```javascript
// Park detail map initialization
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
  {% with location=park.location.first %}
  initParkMap({{ location.latitude }}, {{ location.longitude }}, "{{ park.name }}");
  {% endwith %}
});
```

#### 4. Content Moderation Workflow

**Submission Process**:

      <p class="text-white text-sm">{{ photo.caption }}</p>
    </div>
    {% endif %}
  </div>
  {% endfor %}
</div>
```

### Form Templates and User Input

#### Dynamic Form Rendering

```html
<!-- templates/parks/park_form.html -->
{% extends "base/base.html" %}

{% block content %}
<div class="max-w-4xl mx-auto">
  <div class="auth-card">
    <h1 class="auth-title">
      {% if is_edit %}Edit Park{% else %}Add New Park{% endif %}
    </h1>
    
    <form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" 
          class="space-y-6" 
          hx-post="{% if is_edit %}{% url 'parks:park_edit' object.slug %}{% else %}{% url 'parks:park_create' %}{% endif %}"
          hx-target="#form-container"
          hx-swap="innerHTML">
      {% csrf_token %}
      
      <!-- Dynamic field rendering -->
      {% for field in form %}
      <div class="form-group">
        <label for="{{ field.id_for_label }}" class="form-label">
          {{ field.label }}
          {% if field.field.required %}<span class="text-red-500">*</span>{% endif %}
        </label>
        {{ field|add_class:"form-input" }}
        {% if field.help_text %}
        <div class="form-hint">{{ field.help_text }}</div>
        {% endif %}
        {% if field.errors %}
        <div class="form-error">{{ field.errors }}</div>
        {% endif %}
      </div>
      {% endfor %}
      
      <div class="flex justify-end space-x-4">
        <a href="{% if is_edit %}{{ object.get_absolute_url }}{% else %}{% url 'parks:park_list' %}{% endif %}" 
           class="btn-secondary">Cancel</a>
        <button type="submit" class="btn-primary">
          {% if is_edit %}Update Park{% else %}Add Park{% endif %}
        </button>
      </div>

## Services and Business Logic

### Unified Map Service Architecture

The `UnifiedMapService` provides the core geographic functionality for ThrillWiki, handling location data for parks, rides, and companies through a sophisticated service layer.

#### Service Architecture Overview

```
UnifiedMapService
├── LocationAbstractionLayer     # Data source abstraction
├── ClusteringService           # Point clustering for performance
├── MapCacheService            # Intelligent caching
└── Data Structures            # Type-safe data containers
```

#### Core Service Implementation

```python
# core/services/map_service.py
class UnifiedMapService:
    """
    Main service orchestrating map data retrieval, filtering, clustering, and caching.
    Provides a unified interface for all location types with performance optimization.
    """
    
    # Performance thresholds
    MAX_UNCLUSTERED_POINTS = 500
    MAX_CLUSTERED_POINTS = 2000
    DEFAULT_ZOOM_LEVEL = 10
    
    def __init__(self):
        self.location_layer = LocationAbstractionLayer()
        self.clustering_service = ClusteringService()
        self.cache_service = MapCacheService()
    
    def get_map_data(
        self,
        bounds: Optional[GeoBounds] = None,
        filters: Optional[MapFilters] = None,
        zoom_level: int = DEFAULT_ZOOM_LEVEL,
        cluster: bool = True,
        use_cache: bool = True
    ) -> MapResponse:
        """
        Primary method for retrieving unified map data with intelligent
        caching, clustering, and performance optimization.
        """
        # Implementation handles cache checking, database queries,
        # smart limiting, clustering decisions, and response caching
        pass
    
    def get_location_details(self, location_type: str, location_id: int) -> Optional[UnifiedLocation]:
        """Get detailed information for a specific location with caching."""
        pass
    
    def search_locations(
        self,
        query: str,
        bounds: Optional[GeoBounds] = None,
        location_types: Optional[Set[LocationType]] = None,
        limit: int = 50
    ) -> List[UnifiedLocation]:
        """Search locations with text query and geographic bounds."""
        pass
```

#### Data Structure System

The service uses type-safe data structures for all map operations:

```python
# core/services/data_structures.py

class LocationType(Enum):
    """Types of locations supported by the map service."""
    PARK = "park"
    RIDE = "ride"
    COMPANY = "company"
    GENERIC = "generic"

@dataclass
class GeoBounds:
    """Geographic boundary box for spatial queries."""
    north: float
    south: float
    east: float
    west: float
    
    def to_polygon(self) -> Polygon:
        """Convert bounds to PostGIS Polygon for database queries."""
        return Polygon.from_bbox((self.west, self.south, self.east, self.north))
    
    def expand(self, factor: float = 1.1) -> 'GeoBounds':
        """Expand bounds by factor for buffer queries."""
        pass

@dataclass
class MapFilters:
    """Filtering options for map queries."""
    location_types: Optional[Set[LocationType]] = None
    park_status: Optional[Set[str]] = None
    ride_types: Optional[Set[str]] = None
    search_query: Optional[str] = None
    min_rating: Optional[float] = None
    has_coordinates: bool = True
    country: Optional[str] = None
    state: Optional[str] = None
    city: Optional[str] = None

@dataclass
class UnifiedLocation:
    """Standardized location representation across all entity types."""
    id: int
    location_type: LocationType
    name: str
    coordinates: Point
    url: str
    additional_data: Dict[str, Any] = field(default_factory=dict)
```

### Moderation System

ThrillWiki implements a comprehensive moderation system for user-generated content edits:

#### Edit Submission Workflow

```python
# moderation/models.py
@pghistory.track()
class EditSubmission(TrackedModel):
    """Tracks all proposed changes to parks and rides."""
    
    STATUS_CHOICES = [
        ("PENDING", "Pending"),
        ("APPROVED", "Approved"),
        ("REJECTED", "Rejected"),
        ("ESCALATED", "Escalated"),
    ]
    
    SUBMISSION_TYPE_CHOICES = [
        ("EDIT", "Edit Existing"),
        ("CREATE", "Create New"),
    ]
    
    user = models.ForeignKey(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    content_type = models.ForeignKey(ContentType, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    object_id = models.PositiveIntegerField(null=True, blank=True)
    content_object = GenericForeignKey("content_type", "object_id")
    
    submission_type = models.CharField(max_length=10, choices=SUBMISSION_TYPE_CHOICES)
    proposed_changes = models.JSONField()  # Stores field-level changes
    status = models.CharField(max_length=20, choices=STATUS_CHOICES, default="PENDING")
    
    # Moderation tracking
    reviewed_by = models.ForeignKey(
        settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL,
        on_delete=models.SET_NULL,
        null=True, blank=True,
        related_name="reviewed_submissions"
    )
    reviewed_at = models.DateTimeField(null=True, blank=True)
    reviewer_notes = models.TextField(blank=True)
```

#### Moderation Features

- **Change Tracking**: Every edit submission tracked with `django-pghistory`
- **Field-Level Changes**: JSON storage of specific field modifications
- **Review Workflow**: Pending → Approved/Rejected/Escalated states
- **Reviewer Assignment**: Track who reviewed each submission
- **Audit Trail**: Complete history of all moderation decisions

### Search and Autocomplete

#### Location-Based Search

```python
# Autocomplete integration for geographic search
class LocationAutocompleteView(autocomplete.Select2QuerySetView):

## Development Workflow

### Required Development Environment

#### UV Package Manager Integration

ThrillWiki exclusively uses [UV](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv) for all Python package management and Django commands:

```bash
# CRITICAL: Always use these exact commands

# Package Installation
uv add <package>                    # Add new dependencies
uv add --dev <package>              # Add development dependencies

# Django Management Commands
uv run manage.py makemigrations     # Create migrations
uv run manage.py migrate            # Apply migrations
uv run manage.py createsuperuser    # Create admin user
uv run manage.py shell              # Start Django shell
uv run manage.py collectstatic      # Collect static files

# Development Server (CRITICAL - use exactly as shown)
lsof -ti :8000 | xargs kill -9; find . -type d -name "__pycache__" -exec rm -r {} +; uv run manage.py tailwind runserver
```

**IMPORTANT**: Never use `python manage.py` or `pip install`. The project is configured exclusively for UV.

#### Local Development Setup

```bash
# Initial setup
git clone <repository-url>
cd thrillwiki_django_no_react

# Install dependencies
uv sync

# Database setup (requires PostgreSQL with PostGIS)
uv run manage.py migrate

# Create superuser
uv run manage.py createsuperuser

# Install Tailwind CSS and build
uv run manage.py tailwind install
uv run manage.py tailwind build

# Start development server
lsof -ti :8000 | xargs kill -9; find . -type d -name "__pycache__" -exec rm -r {} +; uv run manage.py tailwind runserver
```

### Database Requirements

#### PostgreSQL with PostGIS

```sql
-- Required PostgreSQL extensions
CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS postgis;
CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS postgis_topology;
CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS postgis_raster;
```

#### Geographic Data

- **Coordinate System**: WGS84 (SRID: 4326) for all geographic data
- **Point Storage**: All locations stored as PostGIS Point geometry
- **Spatial Queries**: Optimized with GiST indexes for geographic searches
- **Distance Calculations**: Native PostGIS distance functions

### Frontend Development

#### Tailwind CSS Workflow

```bash
# Development mode (watches for changes)
uv run manage.py tailwind start

# Production build
uv run manage.py tailwind build

# Custom CSS location
static/css/src/input.css    # Source file
static/css/tailwind.css     # Compiled output
```

#### JavaScript Integration

- **Alpine.js**: Reactive components and state management
- **HTMX**: AJAX interactions and partial page updates
- **Custom Scripts**: Modular JavaScript in `static/js/` directory
