+# Project Rules
+
+## Feature Parity Requirements
+
+IMPORTANT: This Laravel/Livewire project must maintain strict feature parity with the original Django project at '/Users/talor/thrillwiki_django_no_react'.
+
+### Core Requirements
+
+1. Feature-to-Feature Matching
+   - Every Django app must have an equivalent Laravel implementation
+   - All functionality must be replicated without loss of capability
+   - New features must not break existing feature parity
+   - Document any deviations or Laravel-specific enhancements
+
+2. Function-to-Function Equivalence
+   - Methods and functions must maintain the same business logic
+   - API endpoints must provide identical responses
+   - Database operations must maintain data integrity
+   - Performance characteristics should be equivalent or better
+
+3. Design Consistency
+   - UI/UX must match the original Django implementation
+   - Component structure should mirror Django templates
+   - Maintain consistent naming conventions
+   - Preserve user interaction patterns
+
+4. Project Structure Reference
+   - Original Django apps to maintain parity with:
+     * accounts
+     * analytics
+     * autocomplete
+     * companies
+     * core
+     * designers
+     * email_service
+     * history
+     * history_tracking
+     * location
+     * moderation
+     * parks
+     * reviews
+     * rides
+     * search
+     * wiki
+
+### Implementation Guidelines
+
+1. Framework Usage
+   - Use Laravel and Livewire native implementations whenever possible
+   - Avoid custom code unless absolutely necessary
+   - Leverage built-in Laravel features and conventions
+   - Utilize Livewire's reactive components and lifecycle hooks
+   - Only create custom solutions when framework features don't meet requirements
+
+2. Before implementing new features:
+   - Review corresponding Django implementation
+   - Document feature requirements
+   - Plan Laravel/Livewire approach
+   - Verify feature parity coverage
+
+2. During development:
+   - Test against Django behavior
+   - Maintain identical data structures
+   - Preserve business logic flow
+   - Document any technical differences
+
+3. After implementation:
+   - Verify feature completeness
+   - Test edge cases match Django
+   - Update documentation
+   - Mark feature as parity-verified
+
+### Quality Assurance
+
+1. Testing Requirements
+   - Test cases must cover Django functionality
+   - Behavior must match Django implementation
+   - Performance metrics must be comparable
+   - Document any differences in approach
+
+2. Documentation Requirements
+   - Reference original Django features
+   - Explain implementation differences
+   - Document Laravel-specific enhancements
+   - Maintain feature parity tracking
+
+3. Review Process
+   - Compare against Django source
+   - Verify feature completeness
+   - Test user workflows
+   - Document verification results
+
+### Exceptions
+
+1. Allowed Deviations
+   - Performance improvements
+   - Security enhancements
+   - Framework-specific optimizations
+   - Modern browser capabilities
+
+2. Required Documentation
+   - Justify any deviations
+   - Document improvements
+   - Explain technical decisions
+   - Track affected features

+# HasLocation Trait
+
+## Overview
+The HasLocation trait provides location management capabilities to Laravel models through a polymorphic relationship with the Location model. It enables models to have associated geographic data, including coordinates, address information, and location-based querying capabilities.
+
+## Features
+
+### Relationships
+- `location()` - MorphOne relationship to Location model
+- Automatic location deletion when parent model is deleted
+
+### Accessors
+- `coordinates` - Returns [lat, lng] array
+- `formatted_address` - Returns formatted address string
+- `map_url` - Returns Google Maps URL
+
+### Location Management
+- `updateLocation(array $attributes)` - Update or create location
+- `setCoordinates(float $lat, float $lng, ?float $elevation)` - Set coordinates
+- `setAddress(array $components)` - Set address components
+
+### Distance & Search
+- `distanceTo($model)` - Calculate distance to another model
+- `scopeNearby($query, $lat, $lng, $radius)` - Find nearby models
+- `scopeInBounds($query, $ne, $sw)` - Find models within bounds
+
+## Usage
+
+### Adding Location Support
+```php
+use App\Traits\HasLocation;
+
+class Park extends Model
+{
+    use HasLocation;
+}
+```
+
+### Managing Locations with PostGIS
+```php
+// Create/update location with PostGIS point
+$park->updateLocation([
+    'address' => '123 Main St',
+    'city' => 'Orlando',
+    'state' => 'FL',
+    'country' => 'USA',
+    'coordinates' => DB::raw("ST_SetSRID(ST_MakePoint(-81.379234, 28.538336), 4326)")
+]);
+
+// Set coordinates directly (automatically creates PostGIS point)
+$park->setCoordinates(28.538336, -81.379234);
+
+// Access location data (automatically extracts from PostGIS point)
+$coordinates = $park->coordinates; // Returns [lat, lng]
+$address = $park->formatted_address;
+$mapUrl = $park->map_url;
+```
+
+### PostGIS Spatial Queries
+```php
+// Find parks within 50km using ST_DWithin
+$nearbyParks = Park::nearby(28.538336, -81.379234, 50)->get();
+
+// Find parks in bounds using ST_MakeEnvelope
+$parksInArea = Park::inBounds(
+    ['lat' => 28.6, 'lng' => -81.2], // Northeast
+    ['lat' => 28.4, 'lng' => -81.4]  // Southwest
+)->get();
+
+// Calculate distance using ST_Distance
+$distance = $parkA->distanceTo($parkB);
+```
+
+### PostGIS Functions Used
+- `ST_SetSRID` - Set spatial reference system (4326 = WGS 84)
+- `ST_MakePoint` - Create point geometry from coordinates
+- `ST_DWithin` - Find points within distance
+- `ST_MakeEnvelope` - Create bounding box
+- `ST_Within` - Check if point is within bounds
+- `ST_Distance` - Calculate distance between points
+
+## Integration Points
+
+### Models Using Trait
+- Park
+- ParkArea
+- (Future models requiring location)
+
+### Related Components
+- Location model
+- GeocodeService
+- LocationSearchService
+- LocationSelector component
+- LocationDisplay component
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+### Design Decisions
+1. **Automatic Cleanup**
+   - Location records are automatically deleted when parent is deleted
+   - Prevents orphaned location records
+   - Maintains referential integrity
+
+2. **Flexible Updates**
+   - `updateLocation()` handles both create and update
+   - Reduces code duplication
+   - Provides consistent interface
+
+3. **Coordinate Handling**
+   - Consistent lat/lng format
+   - Optional elevation support
+   - Null handling for incomplete data
+
+4. **Query Scopes**
+   - Chainable with other queries
+   - Consistent parameter formats
+   - Performance-optimized implementation
+
+### Performance Considerations
+- Spatial indexing with PostGIS GiST index
+- Native PostGIS distance calculations
+- Geography vs Geometry type selection
+  - Geography for accurate distance calculations
+  - Geometry for faster bounding box queries
+- Efficient spatial joins using PostGIS functions
+- Eager loading recommended for lists
+- Optimized polymorphic relationships
+
+### Security
+- Input validation in setters
+- Coordinate bounds checking
+- Safe SQL distance calculations
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+### Unit Tests
+- [ ] Relationship management
+- [ ] Coordinate handling
+- [ ] Address formatting
+- [ ] Distance calculations
+
+### Integration Tests
+- [ ] Location updates
+- [ ] Search queries
+- [ ] Boundary queries
+- [ ] Deletion cleanup
+
+## Future Enhancements

+2. [ ] Implement timezone handling
+3. [ ] Add boundary polygon support
+4. [ ] Create location history tracking
+5. [ ] Add batch location updates
+6. [ ] Implement geofencing
