Pelias hides the 'category' field from API responses unless the
caller filters by categories=... explicitly — a default intended for
keyword search that strips category metadata from address queries.
Patch the Pelias API's geojsonify_place_details.js so the category
array is returned on every feature (food, retail, transport, …),
mounted into the container as a read-only volume override.
Rewrite category-map.ts to map Pelias' OSM taxonomy to our 7
PlaceCategories using a priority-ordered list so a restaurant
tagged ['food','retail','nightlife'] resolves to 'food' (the most
specific), not 'shopping'.
Verified with Konstanz test queries:
Konzil Restaurant → food
Bahnhof Konstanz → transit
Physiotherapie-Schule → work
MX-Park → leisure

After importing 22M OSM objects for the DACH extract:
- Disable adminLookup (no WOF data needed for address search)
- Configure leveldb path inside the data volume
- Specify planet-latest.osm.pbf as the import filename
- Convert libpostal service config from string to object form
- Drop boundary.country default — Pelias only accepts a single
country value, and our index only contains DACH data anyway
Verified forward + reverse geocoding work end-to-end for Konstanz
test queries via the mana-geocoding wrapper on port 3018.
Known limitation: OSM category/type (amenity:restaurant etc.) is
not yet populated in Pelias responses — will require whitelisting
those tags in the importer config and re-running the import.

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.)
