Target release: v2.0.0

Add a historical event reconstruction system (calendar + event review) so users can pick a date and see weather activity across all locations they can access, reconstructing related products into understandable events (SPC outlook → MCDs → watches → warnings → all-clears → radar loops → delivered summaries). Major release: large new subsystem + potential object-storage backend.

Candidate views

Calendar page with days marked by alert/outlook activity and highest severity.
Day detail grouped by location, product family, severity, event window.
Event detail timeline of related products, locations, notifications, AI summaries, source links.
Radar loop links / cached references for the event window.

Implementation sketch

Append-only historical product snapshot tables (beyond sent_alerts).
Event-correlation layer (location, time overlap, VTEC/ETN, SPC product id, geometry, product family).
Derived radar-loop windows with configurable padding.
Cache-first media plan; storage layer designed to support object storage (Backblaze B2 / S3-compatible) later.
Keep raw snapshots separate from derived groupings; respect location/channel visibility.

Open questions

Retention for source text, radar/media metadata, summaries.
Retention + storage backend for cached radar/media artifacts.
Object storage as first target or later enhancement?
How to group products when the meteorological relationship is ambiguous.
User annotate / manually merge-split groupings?
Which artifacts should be exportable?
