Add user and brewery address tables

Auth and Emails land together since Auth's registration/resend flows need
Emails to exist first. Service.Auth's four services (Register, Login,
Confirmation, Token) collapse into MediatR commands/queries in
Features.Auth; TokenService stays as a slice-internal service since
multiple handlers call it. Auth no longer references Emails directly —
it sends SendRegistrationEmailCommand/SendResendConfirmationEmailCommand
(defined in Shared.Application) which Features.Emails handles, so neither
slice has a project reference on the other.

Service.Emails' IEmailService becomes Features.Emails' IEmailDispatcher,
simplified to take (firstName, email, token) instead of a full UserAccount
since that's all it ever used. API.Specs' TestApiFactory/MockEmailService
are updated to swap in the relocated interface.

Also deletes Infrastructure.Repository now that Breweries, UserManagement,
and Auth have all moved their repos out of it, and replaces the two
now-dead docker-compose test services (repository.tests, service.auth.tests,
both pointing at deleted Dockerfiles) with a single unit.tests service that
runs every Features.*.Tests project via Dockerfile.tests.

-The backend follows a strict layered architecture:

+technical layers. Each feature (`Features.Auth`, `Features.Breweries`,

+Slices never reference each other's project. The one cross-slice
+interaction (`Features.Auth` triggering a confirmation email handled by
+`Features.Emails`) goes through a MediatR command (`SendRegistrationEmailCommand`)
+whose contract lives in `Shared.Application`, so neither slice takes a
+project reference on the other.

 ### Layer Responsibilities
 
 #### API Layer (`API.Core`)
 
-**Purpose**: HTTP interface and request handling
+**Purpose**: Thin ASP.NET Core host: no business logic, no controllers of
+its own
 
 **Components**:
 
-- Controllers (`AuthController`, `UserController`)
+- `Program.cs`: registers MediatR (scanning every `Features.*` assembly),
-- Middleware for error handling
+  FluentValidation, and uses `AddApplicationPart` so each slice's controllers
-- Swagger/OpenAPI documentation
+  are discovered by MVC
-- Health check endpoints
+- `GlobalException.cs`: global exception filter (host-level cross-cutting
+  concern)
+- `Authentication/JwtAuthenticationHandler.cs`: JWT auth scheme middleware
+- Swagger/OpenAPI documentation, health check endpoints
 
 **Dependencies**:
 
-- Service layer
+- Every `Features.*` project (for controller/MediatR discovery)
-- ASP.NET Core framework
+- `Shared.Contracts`, `Shared.Application`
+- `Infrastructure.Jwt` (for the auth middleware)
 
 **Rules**:
 
-- No business logic
+- No controllers, no business logic, no feature-specific contracts
-- Only request/response transformation
+- Exists purely to host and wire up the feature slices
-- Delegates all work to Service layer
 
-#### Service Layer (`Service.Auth`, `Service.UserManagement`)
+#### Feature Slices (`Features.Auth`, `Features.Breweries`, `Features.UserManagement`, `Features.Emails`)
 
-**Purpose**: Business logic and orchestration
+**Purpose**: Each slice is the complete vertical for one business capability
+
+**Components** (per slice):
+
+- `Controllers/`: HTTP endpoints, binding directly to Command/Query types
+  as the request contract
+- `Commands/<Operation>/` and `Queries/<Operation>/`: one folder per
+  operation, each containing the Command/Query record, its
+  `IRequestHandler`, and (for commands) a FluentValidation validator
+- `Repository/`: the slice's own stored-procedure repository
+  implementation
+- `Dtos/`: response shapes returned by query handlers (never the raw
+  domain entity)
+- `DependencyInjection/`: an `AddFeaturesX()` extension method registering
+  the slice's repository/services
+
+`Features.Emails` has no `Controllers/` folder. It's invoked only via
+MediatR commands sent from other slices, never over HTTP.
+
+**Dependencies**:
+
+- `Domain.Entities`, `Domain.Exceptions`
+- `Infrastructure.Sql` (generic ADO.NET plumbing) plus whichever
+  infrastructure project the slice needs (`Infrastructure.Jwt`/
+  `Infrastructure.PasswordHashing` for Auth, `Infrastructure.Email`/
+  `Infrastructure.Email.Templates` for Emails)
+- `Shared.Contracts`, `Shared.Application`
+- **Never** another `Features.*` project
+
+**Rules**:
+
+- All business logic for that feature lives in its command/query handlers
+- No direct controller-to-repository calls; everything flows through
+  MediatR
+- Read endpoints return a dedicated `Dto`, never the domain entity directly
+
+#### Shared Projects (`Shared.Contracts`, `Shared.Application`)
+
+**Purpose**: The minimum cross-slice surface area required because every
+slice needs it, or because duplicating it four times would be worse than
+sharing it
 
 **Components**:
 
-- Authentication services (login, registration)
+- `Shared.Contracts`: `ResponseBody<T>`/`ResponseBody`, the API response
-- User management services
+  envelope every controller returns
-- Business rule validation
+- `Shared.Application`: `ValidationBehavior<TRequest,TResponse>` (the
-- Transaction coordination
+  MediatR pipeline behavior that runs FluentValidation before a handler
-
+  executes) and the cross-slice email commands
-**Dependencies**:
+  (`SendRegistrationEmailCommand`, `SendResendConfirmationEmailCommand`)
-
-- Infrastructure layer (repositories, JWT, password hashing)
-- Domain entities
 
 **Rules**:
 
-- Contains all business logic
+- Kept deliberately small: this is the exception to "no slice depends on
-- Coordinates multiple infrastructure components
+  another slice," not a general-purpose dumping ground
-- No direct database access (uses repositories)
-- Returns domain models, not DTOs
 
 #### Infrastructure Layer
 
-**Purpose**: Technical capabilities and external integrations
+**Purpose**: Technical capabilities and external integrations, shared by
+whichever slices need them
 
 **Components**:
 
-- **Infrastructure.Repository**: Data access via stored procedures
+- **Infrastructure.Sql**: generic ADO.NET connection/command plumbing
+  (`ISqlConnectionFactory`, the abstract `Repository<T>` base class), not
+  domain-specific; each slice's own `Repository/` folder builds on this
 - **Infrastructure.Jwt**: JWT token generation and validation
 - **Infrastructure.PasswordHashing**: Argon2id password hashing
-- **Infrastructure.Email**: Email sending capabilities
+- **Infrastructure.Email**: Email sending capabilities (SMTP/MailKit)

 ### Design Patterns
 
+#### Vertical Slice + MediatR
+
+**Purpose**: Organize code by feature instead of by technical layer, so
+everything needed to understand or change one capability lives in one
+project
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+- Each HTTP write operation is a `Command` (e.g. `CreateBreweryCommand` in
+  `Features.Breweries/Commands/CreateBrewery/`); each read operation is a
+  `Query` (e.g. `GetBreweryByIdQuery`)
+- Controllers bind directly to the Command/Query as the request body;
+  there is no separate request DTO + mapping step for writes
+- A single shared `ValidationBehavior<TRequest,TResponse>`
+  (`Shared.Application/Behaviors/`) runs FluentValidation validators in the
+  MediatR pipeline before any handler executes
+- Query handlers map to a dedicated response `Dto`, so domain entities never
+  leak over the wire
+
+**Example**:
+
+```csharp
+public record CreateBreweryCommand(Guid PostedById, string BreweryName, string Description, ...)
+    : IRequest<BreweryDto>;
+
+public class CreateBreweryHandler(IBreweryRepository repository) : IRequestHandler<CreateBreweryCommand, BreweryDto>
+{
+    public async Task<BreweryDto> Handle(CreateBreweryCommand request, CancellationToken cancellationToken) { ... }
+}

-- `DefaultSqlConnectionFactory` - Connection management

+
+## Docker / RunPod
+
+The `tooling/pipeline/runpod/` directory contains a GPU-ready container
+configuration for running the pipeline on RunPod or any Docker host with an
+NVIDIA GPU.
+
+### How it works
+
+The container uses a two-stage build. The builder stage installs CMake/Ninja,
+clones the matching llama.cpp release tag for its headers only (installed into
+`/usr/local/include`), and copies prebuilt shared libraries (`libllama`,
+`libggml`, and CUDA/CPU backend plugins) from `ghcr.io/ggml-org/llama.cpp:full-cuda`
+into `/usr/local/lib`. With both headers and libraries present, CMake's
+system-library detection (see [Build](#build) above) finds them and skips the
+FetchContent source build, keeping image build times short.
+
+The runtime stage copies the compiled binary, the same prebuilt shared
+libraries, and config/prompt assets into a slim CUDA runtime image. It sets
+`LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH` so the dynamic linker
+resolves `libllama`/`libggml` at startup, and also co-locates
+`libggml-cuda.so` and the CPU backend plugins next to the binary for
+`ggml_backend_load_all()`'s `dlopen` scan.
+
+### Build the image
+
+Run from the `tooling/pipeline/` directory (the CMake project root), not from
+inside `runpod/`, so the `COPY . .` step picks up the full project context.
+
+```bash
+docker build -t biergarten-pipeline:latest -f runpod/Dockerfile .
+```
+
+To monitor the full build output and confirm CMake selects the system llama.cpp:
+
+```bash
+docker build \
+  --progress=plain \
+  --no-cache \
+  -t biergarten-pipeline:latest \
+  -f runpod/Dockerfile \
+  . 2>&1 | tee build.log
+```
+
+Look for `[biergarten] Found system llama.cpp — skipping FetchContent` in the
+output to confirm the fast path was taken.
+
+### Run the container
+
+The container always runs the model-backed path; there is no `--mocked`
+container mode (use a native build for that — see [Quick Start](#quick-start)).
+The entrypoint, `runpod/start.sh`, downloads the GGUF model automatically if
+it is not already present at the configured path.
+
+```bash
+docker run --rm \
+  --runtime=nvidia \
+  -v "$PWD/models:/workspace/models" \
+  -v "$PWD/output:/workspace/output" \
+  -v "$PWD/logs:/workspace/logs" \
+  biergarten-pipeline:latest
+```
+
+By default this downloads `google_gemma-4-E4B-it-Q6_K.gguf` to
+`./models/` on first run if it isn't already there. To use a pre-downloaded
+model, place it at that path first — see [Model](#model) above.

+- `IPostalCodeService` — generates a postal code for a `City`, consumed by
+  `GenerateBreweries()` and stored on `BreweryRecord::address` (an `Address`
+  struct, currently just `postal_code`, mirroring the web backend's
+  `BreweryPostLocation`). Only `MockPostalCodeService` exists today, which
+  ignores `postal_regex` and returns `postal_code_examples.front()` — it's
+  wired into the Boost.DI graph unconditionally (no `--mocked` branch yet,
+  since there's no real implementation to switch to). A real implementation
+  still needs a **xeger**-style generator — turning a `postal_regex` pattern
+  into a random matching string — instead of always replaying a fixed
+  example; see [ROADMAP.md §9](./ROADMAP.md#9-postal-code-generation).
+  Street-address generation (`Address::address_line1`) has no fixture data or
+  service yet and remains future work.
+- `LlamaGenerator` — formats prompts for Gemma 4, validates JSON output for
+  both `GenerateBrewery` and `GenerateUser`, retries malformed responses up
+  to three times with corrective feedback in the retry prompt. The token
+  budget is fixed across attempts; it is not raised automatically on
+  truncation.
+- `MockGenerator` — stable hash-based output so the same city/persona/name

+# Pipeline Roadmap — Reaching the Planned Architecture
+
+This is the engineering breakdown for closing the gap between the **current**
+pipeline and the **planned** architecture documented in
+[`diagrams/planned/class.puml`](./diagrams/planned/class.puml) and
+[`diagrams/planned/activity.puml`](./diagrams/planned/activity.puml). Nothing
+in `diagrams/planned/` is implemented yet — this file tracks what it would
+take to get there. For the current implementation, see
+[README.md](./README.md).
+
+Items are grouped by layer and roughly ordered by dependency: later groups
+build on types and services introduced earlier.
+
+The only concurrency in the current pipeline is the log dispatcher thread
+(`main.cc` spawns it to drain a `BoundedChannel<LogEntry>` into spdlog for the
+whole run). Sampling, enrichment, generation, and export all happen
+synchronously on the main thread inside `BiergartenPipelineOrchestrator::Run()`
+— §6 below is what introduces the additional worker threads the planned
+architecture needs.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Domain Models
+
+`tooling/pipeline/includes/data_model/generated_models.h` and `models.h`.
+
+- [ ] Add `Completeness` enum (`Full`, `Partial`, `Absent`) and a
+      `LocationContext` struct (`text`, `completeness`, `char_count`).
+      Replace `EnrichedCity::region_context` (currently a plain
+      `std::string`) with `context : LocationContext`.
+- [ ] Add `BeerStyle` (`name`, `description`, `min_abv`, `max_abv`,
+      `min_ibu`, `max_ibu`).
+- [ ] Add `BeerResult`, `CheckinResult`, `RatingResult` result payloads.
+- [ ] Add `GenerationMetadata` (`generation_id`, `generated_time`,
+      `context_provided`, `generated_with`).
+- [x] Add `first_name`, `last_name`, `gender`, and `activity_weight` to
+      `UserResult` (currently just `username`, `bio`). `first_name`/
+      `last_name`/`gender` are copied from the sampled `Name` (see below),
+      not LLM-invented.
+- [x] Add `Name` (`first_name`, `last_name`, `gender`) — the sampled result
+      handed to `DataGenerator::GenerateUser`. Add `ForenameEntry` (`name`,
+      `gender`). Landed as a flatter shape than originally planned here: no
+      `NamesByCountry` wrapper class. `curated_data_service.h` instead
+      declares `ForenameList = std::vector<ForenameEntry>` and
+      `SurnameList = std::vector<std::string>`, and
+      `ICuratedDataService` exposes two maps keyed by ISO 3166-1 code —
+      `ForenamesByCountryMap = unordered_map<string, ForenameList>` and
+      `SurnamesByCountryMap = unordered_map<string, SurnameList>` —
+      directly (see §2). Sampling is
+      a free function, `SampleName(forenames_by_country,
+      surnames_by_country, iso3166_1, rng)`, in
+      `generate_users.cc`'s anonymous namespace, not a method on a class.
+      Pairing a forename with a surname happens at sample time so gender
+      (present per-forename in the source data) is never discarded the way a
+      pre-flattened `{first_name, last_name}` list would lose it; see §2.
+- [ ] Extend `GeneratedBrewery` with `brewery_id`, `context_completeness`,
+      `metadata` (currently `{location, address, brewery}` — see the
+      `Location`→`City` rename and `Address` struct added in the
+      `postal_regex`/§9 entries below).
+- [ ] Add `GeneratedBeer`, `GeneratedCheckin`, `GeneratedRating`,
+      `GeneratedFollow` aggregate structs.
+- [x] Add `UserRecord` (`location`, `user : UserResult`, `email`,
+      `date_of_birth`) as the current stand-in for the planned
+      `GeneratedUser` — `email` and `date_of_birth` are programmatically
+      generated by the orchestrator, never LLM-authored, so a downstream
+      auth-account seeding consumer can register real accounts from the
+      pipeline's SQLite export. No `password`, `user_id`, or `metadata`
+      field yet, matching `BreweryRecord`'s equally pre-`metadata` shape.
+      Already wired into `IExportService`/`SqliteExportService`: a `users`
+      table exists and `GenerateUsers()` exports each successful record via
+      `ProcessRecord(const UserRecord&)` (see §5) in addition to logging and
+      holding `generated_users_` in memory. Still missing vs. the planned
+      `GeneratedUser`: `user_id`, `password`, and `metadata`.
+- [x] Add `UserPersona` (`name`, `description`, `style_affinities`).
+- [x] Add `postal_regex` (`std::vector<std::string>`) and
+      `postal_code_examples` (`std::vector<std::string>`) to `Location`
+      (now `City` — see below), sourced from each `cities.json` entry's
+      `postal_code.city_regex` / `postal_code.examples`. Not part of the
+      originally planned `Location` shape in `diagrams/planned/class.puml` —
+      added ahead of postal code generation work; see §9.
+- [x] Renamed `Location` → `City` throughout the pipeline (struct, all
+      parameter/return types, `LocationsList`→`CityList`,
+      `LoadLocations()`→`LoadCities()`) so the domain vocabulary matches the
+      web backend's `City`/`CityId`. Field/variable names that merely hold a
+      `City` instance (e.g. `EnrichedCity::location`, `BreweryRecord::location`)
+      were left as-is — `City` itself has a `city` field (the city name
+      string), so renaming the container field too would read as
+      `enriched_city.city.city`. The SQLite export layer's own vocabulary
+      (`locations` table, `location_id` column, `location_cache_`, etc.) was
+      renamed to `cities`/`city_id` to match, since it's this pipeline's own
+      throwaway export, not the backend's SQL Server schema (see §5).
+- [x] Added a new `Address` struct (`postal_code` only, for now) and a
+      `BreweryRecord::address` member, mirroring the web backend's
+      `BreweryPostLocation` (`AddressLine1`, `AddressLine2`, `PostalCode`,
+      `CityId`). Only `postal_code` is populated — `address_line1`/
+      `address_line2` generation has no fixture data or service yet. Users
+      do not get an `Address`: the backend's `UserAccount` has no address
+      fields, only `BreweryPostLocation` does.
+
+## 2. Data Preloading
+
+`tooling/pipeline/includes/services/curated_data/`, fixture files.
+
+- [x] Extract an interface; have `CuratedJsonDataService` implement it.
+      Landed as `ICuratedDataService`
+      (`services/curated_data/curated_data_service.h`), not `DataPreloader`
+      — `LoadCities()`, `LoadPersonas()`, `LoadForenamesByCountry()`, and
+      `LoadSurnamesByCountry()` are all virtual methods returning `const&`
+      and take no arguments. `CuratedJsonDataService`
+      (`services/curated_data/curated_json_data_service.h`, originally
+      landed as `JsonLoader` under `json_handling/` before being renamed and
+      moved) takes a `CuratedDataFilePaths` DTO (`locations_path`,
+      `personas_path`, `forenames_path`, `surnames_path`) in its
+      constructor rather than a path per `Load*()` call, and memoizes each
+      result in a private `cache` struct (`locations`, `personas`,
+      `forenames_by_country`, `surnames_by_country`), so a second call on
+      the same instance returns the cached result instead of re-parsing —
+      safe because `CuratedJsonDataService` outlives every call site (owned
+      by `BiergartenPipelineOrchestrator` via
+      `unique_ptr<ICuratedDataService>` for the whole run). `main.cc`'s DI
+      injector also gained a `MockCuratedDataService` (fixed in-memory
+      data: 4 locations across `US`/`DE`/`FR`/`BE`, 3 personas, and
+      matching forename/surname sets for those four countries), bound in
+      place of `CuratedJsonDataService` under `--mocked`, mirroring the
+      existing `MockEnrichmentService`/`MockGenerator` pattern.
+- [ ] Add `LoadBeerStyles()`. `beer-styles.json` already exists in the repo
+      and is already copied into the Docker image
+      (`runpod/Dockerfile`), but no loader reads it yet, and the native
+      CMake build doesn't copy it into `build/` at all — `CMakeLists.txt`'s
+      "Runtime Assets" step only copies `cities.json` and `prompts/`.
+- [x] Add `LoadPersonas()` and author `personas.json` (doesn't exist yet).
+- [x] Add name-by-country loading, parsing
+      `tooling/pipeline/forenames-by-country.json` and
+      `surnames-by-country.json`. Landed as two separate methods —
+      `LoadForenamesByCountry()` and `LoadSurnamesByCountry()` — each
+      returning a flat `ForenamesByCountryMap` / `SurnamesByCountryMap`
+      (aliases for `unordered_map<string, ForenameList>` /
+      `unordered_map<string, SurnameList>`) keyed by ISO 3166-1 code, rather
+      than one combined `LoadNamesByCountry() : NamesByCountry` call. Both
+      files are vendored verbatim (unmodified,
+      full multinational coverage) from
+      `sigpwned/popular-names-by-country-dataset` (CC0) — see
+      ETHICS-AND-KNOWN-ISSUES.md's Names-by-Country Dataset section for
+      provenance. Deliberately not pre-paired or filtered down to just the
+      countries in `cities.json`: keeping the source shape (including
+      per-forename gender) intact means the loader can support more
+      countries later, or gender-aware persona/bio generation, without
+      re-sourcing data.
+- [x] Parse `postal_code.city_regex` and `postal_code.examples` out of each
+      `cities.json` entry's nested `postal_code` object in
+      `CuratedJsonDataService::LoadCities()`, into `City::postal_regex`
+      / `City::postal_code_examples` (see §1). `MockCuratedDataService`'s
+      4 fixed locations carry matching values pulled from the corresponding
+      `cities.json` entries.
+
+## 3. Policy / Strategy Layer
+
+Entirely new — no `includes/policy/` (or equivalent) directory exists today.
+
+- [ ] `ContextStrategy` interface + `BreweryContextStrategy` /
+      `BeerContextStrategy`. Today `WikipediaEnrichmentService::GetLocationContext`
+      hardcodes a generic `"brewing"` query and a `"beer in {country}"`
+      query directly — no per-phase strategy selection.
+- [ ] `SamplingStrategy` interface + `UniformSamplingStrategy`, replacing
+      the inline `std::ranges::sample(...)` call in
+      `BiergartenPipelineOrchestrator::QueryCitiesWithCountries()`.
+- [ ] `BeerSelectionStrategy` interface + `RandomBeerSelectionStrategy`, to
+      pick styles per brewery from the `BeerStyle` palette (depends on §1
+      and §2).
+- [ ] `CheckinDistributionStrategy` interface + `JCurveCheckinStrategy` /
+      `RandomCheckinStrategy` — this is the "Check-In System" item already
+      called out in README.md's Next Steps, made concrete.
+- [ ] `FollowGenerationStrategy` interface + `RandomFollowStrategy` /
+      `ActivityWeightedFollowStrategy`.
+
+## 4. Data Generation
+
+`tooling/pipeline/includes/data_generation/`, `src/data_generation/`.
+
+- [ ] Extend the `DataGenerator` interface with `GenerateBeer`,
+      `GenerateCheckin`, `GenerateRating` (today: only `GenerateBrewery` and
+      `GenerateUser`).
+- [x] Implement `LlamaGenerator::GenerateUser` for real, with a retry loop
+      mirroring `GenerateBrewery` (GBNF grammar, `ValidateUserJson`, up to 3
+      attempts with corrective feedback) and a new
+      `prompts/USER_GENERATION.md`. Changed the `DataGenerator::GenerateUser`
+      signature to
+      `(city : const EnrichedCity&, persona : const UserPersona&, name : const Name&) : UserResult`,
+      matching what the activity diagram actually passes. `MockGenerator::GenerateUser`
+      updated to match the new signature too.
+- [ ] Implement `MockGenerator::GenerateBeer` / `GenerateCheckin` /
+      `GenerateRating`.
+- [ ] Add `IPromptFormatter::ExpectedArchitecture()` and
+      `LlamaGenerator::ValidateModelArchitecture()` so loading a GGUF that
+      doesn't match the configured chat template fails fast instead of
+      silently producing degraded output.
+- [ ] Add prompt template files for beer/checkin/rating generation next to
+      the existing `prompts/BREWERY_GENERATION.md`.
+
+## 5. Export Service
+
+`tooling/pipeline/includes/services/database/`, `src/services/sqlite/`.
+
+- [x] `IExportService::ProcessRecord(const UserRecord&)` and
+      `SqliteExportService`'s `users` table (see
+      `kCreateUsersTableSql` / `kInsertUserSql` in
+      `includes/services/database/sqlite_statement_helpers.h`) are
+      implemented — `GenerateUsers()` exports every successful user
+      alongside its resolved `city_id`.
+- [x] `ProcessRecord(const BreweryRecord&)` now also binds
+      `BreweryRecord::address.postal_code` into a `postal_code` column on
+      `breweries` (see §9).
+- [ ] Extend `IExportService` with `ProcessBeer`, `ProcessCheckin`,
+      `ProcessRating`, `ProcessFollow` (today `ProcessRecord(const
+      BreweryRecord&)` and `ProcessRecord(const UserRecord&)` exist).
+- [ ] Add `beers`, `checkins`, `ratings`, `follows` tables to
+      `SqliteExportService::InitializeSchema()` (`cities`, `breweries`,
+      and `users` already exist) — see `kCreateCitiesTableSql` /
+      `kCreateBreweriesTableSql` / `kCreateUsersTableSql` in
+      `includes/services/database/sqlite_statement_helpers.h` for the
+      existing pattern to follow.
+- [ ] Add a `brewery_cache_` alongside the existing `city_cache_`, and
+      move from one open transaction for the whole run to per-phase batched
+      commits (`BEGIN` / `COMMIT & BEGIN` on a batch-size threshold), as
+      shown in the planned activity diagram.
+
+## 6. Concurrency & Orchestration
+
+`tooling/pipeline/includes/concurrency/`,
+`src/biergarten_pipeline_orchestrator/`.
+
+- [ ] `BoundedChannel<T>` already exists and is production-tested — but
+      it's only wired to the single log channel today. Stand up the
+      per-phase producer/consumer channels (`loc_ch`, `exp_ch`, etc.) the
+      planned activity diagram describes, each with a dedicated LLM worker
+      thread and SQLite worker thread.
+- [ ] Rewrite `BiergartenPipelineOrchestrator::Run()` from one synchronous
+      pass over `generated_breweries_` into phased methods —
+      `RunUserPhase` → `RunBreweryAndBeerPhase` (with a `RunBeerPhase`
+      sub-step once `brewery_pool_` is populated) → `RunCheckinPhase` /
+      `RunFollowPhase` (these two can run in parallel) → `RunRatingPhase` —
+      backed by `user_pool_`, `brewery_pool_`, `beer_pool_`,
+      `checkin_pool_`, `follow_pool_`.
+- [ ] Honor the structural-concurrency requirement already called out in a
+      comment on `BiergartenPipelineOrchestrator::Run()` in
+      `biergarten_pipeline_orchestrator.h`: once real worker threads exist,
+      they must be structurally joined (e.g. via `std::jthread`) before
+      `Run()` returns, so no worker logs to a closed channel during
+      teardown.
+
+## 7. Enrichment
+
+- [ ] Decide whether to restore the city/region-specific Wikipedia query
+      that's currently commented out in
+      `src/services/enrichment/wikipedia/get_summary.cc`
+      (`GetLocationContext`). The `ContextStrategy` work in §3 is a natural
+      place to reintroduce it via `BreweryContextStrategy::QueriesFor()`.
+- [ ] Pre-warm caches at startup (`PreWarmBeerStyleCache`,
+      `PreWarmLocationCache` in the planned activity diagram) instead of
+      fetching lazily per record, so the streaming phases never block on a
+      cold cache mid-run.
+
+## 8. Fixtures / Build
+
+- [x] Author `personas.json`, `forenames-by-country.json`, and
+      `surnames-by-country.json` (see §2).
+- [ ] Fix the `beer-styles.json` build-tree gap: add it to the "Runtime
+      Assets" `configure_file` step in `CMakeLists.txt` so native builds and
+      the Docker image agree on what's available at runtime.
+
+## 9. Postal Code Generation
+
+`tooling/pipeline/includes/services/postal_code/`. Not part of the original
+`diagrams/planned/class.puml` sketch — added once `Location` (now `City`)
+gained `postal_regex`/`postal_code_examples` (§1, §2).
+
+- [x] Add the `IPostalCodeService` interface —
+      `GeneratePostalCode(location : const City&) : std::string`.
+- [x] Add `MockPostalCodeService`: ignores `location.postal_regex` entirely
+      and returns `location.postal_code_examples.front()`.
+- [ ] **Implement a real, xeger-based `IPostalCodeService`.** A xeger
+      generator turns a regex pattern (here, one of
+      `City::postal_regex`) into a random string that matches it — the
+      inverse of matching a string against a regex. Without it, every
+      generated postal code is either a hardcoded mock value or absent
+      entirely; a real implementation is required before postal codes can
+      vary per generated brewery instead of always reusing the same
+      curated example.
+- [x] Wire `IPostalCodeService` into `main.cc`'s Boost.DI injector — bound
+      unconditionally to `MockPostalCodeService` (no `--mocked` branch yet,
+      since a real implementation doesn't exist to switch to; add one once
+      the xeger-based generator above lands, mirroring `IEnrichmentService`)
+      — and into `BiergartenPipelineOrchestrator::GenerateBreweries()`,
+      which calls `GeneratePostalCode(location)` per brewery and stores the
+      result on `BreweryRecord::address` (a new `Address` struct — see §1),
+      exported to the `breweries.postal_code` SQLite column (§5).
+      Postal-code generation is per-brewery, not per-city or per-user: users
+      don't have an address concept in the web backend, only breweries do
+      (`BreweryPostLocation`), so `UserRecord` was deliberately not extended.
+
+---
+
+## Suggested build order
+
+The planned activity diagram's own phase notes ("brewery*pool* is now fully
+populated. Phase 1b may begin.", etc.) imply a dependency order. Roughly:
+
+1. Domain models (§1) and data preloading (§2) — nothing else compiles
+   without these.
+2. Export schema (§5) — so every later generation phase has somewhere to
+   land its output.
+3. Policy/strategy layer (§3) and generator interface (§4).
+4. Concurrency/orchestration rewrite (§6), which is the only piece that
+   actually wires §1–§5 into the phased, parallel pipeline shown in the
+   planned diagrams.
+5. Enrichment cache pre-warming and the city/region query decision (§7) —
+   useful at any point, but most valuable once phases run concurrently.
+6. Postal code generation (§9) is independent of the phases above — the
+   xeger-based generator just needs `City::postal_regex`, already in
+   place. Wiring the mock into brewery output has already landed (§9); the
+   real generator can be swapped in once built.

+# FULL SYSTEM PROMPT
+
+You are a craft beer community profile writer. You write short, first-person
+biographies for fictional users of a brewery-discovery app, grounded in the
+exact name, locale, and persona provided. You do not invent the user's name --
+it is given to you and must not be altered, translated, or abbreviated beyond
+forming a username.
+
+You will receive the inputs like this:
+
+## NAME:
+
+[First name] [Last name]
+
+## GENDER:
+
+[Gender associated with the given first name]
+
+## CITY:
+
+[City Name]
+
+## COUNTRY:
+
+[Country Name]
+
+## PERSONA:
+
+[Persona archetype name]
+
+## PERSONA DESCRIPTION:
+
+[What this persona cares about and how they talk about beer]
+
+## STYLE AFFINITIES:
+
+[Comma-separated beer styles this persona favors]
+
+## CRITICAL OUTPUT FORMAT (READ CAREFULLY):
+
+ABSOLUTELY NO MARKDOWN FORMATTING. Do NOT wrap your response in json or ```
+blocks.
+
+Do not add markdown, code fences, or postscript around the final JSON object.
+Do not say "Here is the JSON" or "Enjoy!".
+
+The JSON must contain exactly three keys ("username", "bio",
+"activity_weight") in that order. Do not rename or add any other keys.
+
+ESCAPE ALL QUOTES inside the bio field using \", or use single quotes (' ')
+instead.
+
+DO NOT use actual line breaks (\n) inside any string. Keep the bio as one
+continuous string.
+
+The bio must be between 25 and 60 words, written in first person, and must
+read as something this specific person would write about themselves -- not a
+generic profile blurb.
+
+`activity_weight` is a number between 0 and 1 (inclusive) representing how
+often this persona checks in at breweries relative to other users. Persona
+archetypes implying frequent, habitual brewery visits should skew higher;
+casual or occasional-visitor personas should skew lower. Do not default to
+0.5 -- vary it meaningfully based on the persona description.
+
+Expected JSON format:
+
+```json
+{
+  "username": "a handle derived from the given name",
+  "bio": "The first-person bio goes here.",
+  "activity_weight": 0.62
+}
+```
+
+## CONTENT RULES AND CONSTRAINTS:
+
+### THE USERNAME:
+
+Derive the username from the given first and/or last name (e.g. lowercase,
+abbreviated, or combined with a short word or number tied to the persona's
+style affinities). Do not invent an unrelated handle. Do not include spaces.
+
+### THE BIO:
+
+Ground the bio in the supplied persona description and style affinities --
+mention at least one specific beer style from the style affinities list, in a
+way that sounds like a personal preference rather than a list. Reference the
+city or country naturally if it fits, but do not force it.
+
+### VOICE & PERSPECTIVE:
+
+Write in the first person ("I"/"my"). The tone should match the persona:
+an enthusiastic explorer sounds different from a relaxed, easy-drinking
+regular. Do not write in second or third person.
+
+### THE BLOCKLIST (FORBIDDEN CONCEPTS):
+
+You absolutely cannot use the following words and phrases. Make sure your
+final output doesn't have any of these:
+
+- "hidden gem"
+- "passion"
+- "authentic"
+- "craft beer enthusiast"
+- "beer connoisseur"
+- "journey"
+
+#### FORBIDDEN WRITING PATTERNS
+
+The following patterns are common AI writing pitfalls and must not appear in
+the bio:
+
+- Negative parallelism constructions: "It's not X, it's Y"
+- Inflated significance phrases: "stands as a testament," "plays a vital
+  role," "deeply rooted"
+- Superficial trailing analyses: sentences ending in -ing words that add
+  opinion without content
+- Promotional travel-copy tone: "breathtaking," "must-visit," "vibrant"
+- Overused conjunctive transitions used as sentence openers: "Moreover,"
+  "Furthermore," "In addition"
+- Rule of three: do not consistently organise ideas or examples in triplets
