+# Data Model
+
+The authoritative DDL is in `schemas/database.sql`. This document explains the domain model.
+
+## Core entities
+
+### User
+
+Stores account, preferences, privacy settings, and default bikepacking profile.
+
+### Trip
+
+A planned multi-day journey.
+
+Fields:
+
+- id,
+- owner_id,
+- title,
+- start/end coordinates,
+- date range,
+- profile,
+- status,
+- created_at,
+- updated_at.
+
+### Route
+
+A route generated for a trip.
+
+Fields:
+
+- id,
+- trip_id,
+- provider,
+- geometry,
+- distance,
+- ascent/descent,
+- surface breakdown,
+- access confidence,
+- warnings.
+
+### Route segment
+
+A normalized route chunk with scoring attributes.
+
+Fields:
+
+- geometry,
+- distance,
+- grade,
+- surface,
+- smoothness,
+- highway class,
+- access tags,
+- risk scores,
+- confidence.
+
+### Stage
+
+A daily ride slice.
+
+Fields:
+
+- day_index,
+- route_start_m,
+- route_end_m,
+- distance,
+- ascent,
+- estimated_time,
+- endpoint,
+- sleep candidates,
+- warnings,
+- Plan A/B.
+
+### POI
+
+A point of interest for logistics.
+
+Categories:
+
+- water,
+- food,
+- sleep,
+- repair,
+- bailout,
+- charging,
+- emergency.
+
+### Service gap
+
+A computed gap between relevant POIs along the route.
+
+Fields:
+
+- type,
+- start_m,
+- end_m,
+- distance,
+- severity,
+- explanation.
+
+### Local report
+
+A typed, dated user/local report.
+
+Fields:
+
+- report type,
+- geometry/point,
+- route segment optional,
+- payload,
+- trust score,
+- expiry date,
+- moderation status.
+
+### Rule card
+
+A localized advisory card about riding/camping/access/fire/protected areas.
+
+Fields:
+
+- jurisdiction,
+- rule type,
+- summary,
+- status,
+- confidence,
+- source URL,
+- last reviewed,
+- geometry.
+
+### Offline pack
+
+A generated set of data for a trip.
+
+Fields:
+
+- trip,
+- bbox,
+- corridor buffer,
+- included layers,
+- version metadata,
+- file references,
+- status.
+
+## Important modeling choices
+
+### Route distance index
+
+Store positions along a route as `meters_from_start`. This allows POIs, warnings, reports, and stage boundaries to attach to the route even when coordinates are simplified.
+
+### Confidence levels
+
+Use a normalized enum:
+
+- `known_good`,
+- `high`,
+- `medium`,
+- `low`,
+- `unknown`,
+- `restricted`,
+- `conflicting`.
+
+### Warning severity
+
+Use:
+
+- `info`,
+- `notice`,
+- `warning`,
+- `critical`.
+
+### Report expiration
+
+Most local reports should expire unless reconfirmed:
+
+- water status: 30–90 days,
+- closure: 7–60 days depending source,
+- surface condition: 14–90 days,
+- access/legal: reviewed manually,
+- sleep hints: 90–365 days.
