Pelias was retired from the Mac mini on 2026-04-28; photon-self
(self-hosted Photon on mana-gpu) has been the live primary since then.
This removes the now-dead Pelias adapter, config, tests, and the
services/mana-geocoding/pelias/ stack — the entire compose file, the
geojsonify_place_details.js patch, the setup.sh import script.
Provider chain is now `photon-self → photon → nominatim`. The chain
keeps its `privacy: 'local' | 'public'` split, sensitive-query
blocking, coord quantization, and aggressive caching unchanged.
Three direct calls to nominatim.openstreetmap.org that bypassed
mana-geocoding now route through the wrapper:
- citycorners/add-city + citycorners/cities/[slug]/add use the shared
searchAddress() client (browser → same-origin proxy → mana-geocoding
→ photon-self).
- memoro mobile drops its OSM reverse-geocoding fallback entirely;
Expo's on-device reverse-geocoding stays as the sole path. Routing
through the wrapper would require a memoro-server proxy endpoint —
a follow-up if Expo's quality proves insufficient.
Other behavioral changes:
- CACHE_PUBLIC_TTL_MS dropped from 7d → 1h. The long TTL was a
privacy-amplification trick from the Pelias era; with photon-self
serving the bulk of traffic, a transient cross-LAN blip was pinning
cached fallback answers for days. 1h gives quick recovery.
- /health/pelias renamed to /health/photon-self; prometheus blackbox
config + status-page generator updated.
- mana-geocoding container no longer needs `extra_hosts:
host.docker.internal:host-gateway` (was only there for the
Pelias-on-host-network era).
113 tests passing. CLAUDE.md rewritten to reflect the post-Pelias
architecture.

Two production follow-ups surfaced after the deploy:
1. Pelias API was emitting continuous `ENOTFOUND placeholder`, `pip`,
`interpolation` errors because we declared those services in
pelias.json but never actually run them (we don't need WOF
admin lookup or street interpolation for the DACH use case).
Removed the stale entries — Pelias degrades cleanly to
libpostal-only parsing, which is what we want.
2. Bun.serve's default idleTimeout is 10s, which is too tight for
cold Pelias queries hitting Elasticsearch. Raise to 60s so
first-query-after-idle doesn't get cut off.

New mana-geocoding service (port 3018) wraps a self-hosted Pelias
instance with LRU caching and OSM→PlaceCategory auto-mapping.
All geocoding queries stay within our infrastructure — no user
location data leaves the network.
Places module integration:
- Address autocomplete search in ListView (creates place with
name, coords, address, category in one step)
- Address search + reverse geocoding button in DetailView
- Auto-fill address via reverse geocoding during tracking
- OSM category mapping (amenity:restaurant→food, shop:*→shopping, etc.)
