What the app does

Nearest city: computed in-browser from data/geocoder/cities.min.json.gz.
Boundaries: computed locally from gzipped packs in public/adm-packs/** (no per-request boundary fetch).
US local boundary: prefers adm3-place (place/city) with tract fallback.
Weather: Open‑Meteo using a coarse query point (e.g., ADM2 bbox center), cached client-side.
ISP hint: server-side IP lookup via /api/network-isp (best-effort).

Privacy

We do not store raw GPS in the server log.
The “Show Map” modal plots approximate city centers from the offline dataset (not GPS points).
