The ingest geocode fallback called Mapbox with only a broad territory
bbox guard — so a wrong-city guess (e.g. "Rue Elsie" → Valleyfield, both
in-territory) was accepted. Rebuilt the chain to be bounded:
infra (fibre/placemarks) → RQA exact → OSM (validated) → postal-code
centroid → phone-match / town-centre (existing last resorts)
- geocodeNominatim(): free OpenStreetMap geocoder (User-Agent per OSM
policy, cached, in-territory) — replaces Mapbox in the ingest path.
- OSM result is ACCEPTED only if within 10 km of the postal-code centroid
(geocodeCentroid, RQA average for the full postal code); otherwise
rejected → the centroid is used. So a J0S1H0 address can never land in
Valleyfield again.
- postal_centroid is the guaranteed bounded fallback.
Note on connectors: the fibre table is a PERMANENT direct MySQL link
(cfg.LEGACY_DB); placemarks come via the permanent PHP bridge
ops_placemarks.php — both already wired into resolveDevCoords.
Verified: J0S1H0 centroid = 45.0857,-74.1795 (Huntingdon, 3471 addrs);
OSM reachable and returns in-town coords for known streets.
