Grow the bundled species catalog from 14 hand-curated entries to ~1200
edible/cultivated species, internationalized in 13 languages (es, en, fr,
de, it, pt, ca, gl, eu, ar, zh, ja, ru — Latin + Arabic RTL + CJK + Cyrillic).
- Add a reproducible generator (tool/gen_species_catalog.dart) that queries
Wikidata (CC0, no attribution burden) in two phases, filters out
non-vernacular noise (author citations, ranks, initials) and applies a
relevance floor, then merges hand-curated, authoritative core-crop data
(tool/curated_overrides.json: names, family, viability_years). GBIF is used
only as an identifier. The generated species.json (v3) is committed.
- Carry wikidata_qid and gbif_key through the parse/seed pipeline; the columns
already existed, so no DB migration.
- Rewrite seedBundled to one read + one batch (was a SELECT per species on
every startup — a real cost at ~1200 rows) and keep it idempotent with
backfill of the new reference fields.
- Move species search filtering to SQL (LIKE) so a large catalog is not pulled
into memory on every keystroke.
- Cover the generator transform, the generated asset, and the new fields with
tests.
