Remove the US+Canada bounding box so every endpoint accepts any lat/lon.
The grading pipeline was already global-ready (ERA5 archive, timezone=auto,
day-of-year climatology), so opening it up is mostly deleting the guard —
plus the edge cases that only exist once the whole globe is in play:
- grid.py: snap() wraps longitude into [-180, 180) and clamps latitude, and
cell centers are normalized so the polar row and the cells straddling the
antimeridian always report valid coordinates to the weather/geocoding APIs.
snap() and from_id() now share one _cell() builder, making id round-trips
exact by construction (verified with a 300k-point global sweep).
- nav.js: neighbor-cell prefetch skips rows past the poles and wraps
longitudes across the dateline instead of sending out-of-range queries.
- Nominatim reverse geocoding requests accept-language=en so place labels
render in one script worldwide (matching the forward geocoder).
- mappicker: search suggestions are no longer filtered to US/CA, the
placeholder and default map view are worldwide.
- calendar: season filter labels flip for southern-hemisphere locations
(Dec-Feb shows as Summer); the underlying month groups are unchanged, so
saved filter selections keep meaning the same months.
Verified end-to-end on a scratch server: Tokyo and Sydney grade with real
labels, a Fiji cell on the antimeridian's east edge builds and serves warm
hits from the derived store, and prefetch=1 on a cold cell still answers
204 without spending weather-API quota.
