Emi Griffith 7adcb3f77b SEO: expand city set to 1000 (extended English-speaking / high-proficiency) (#99)
Add a third tier to gen_cities.py: the top-population cities from the remaining
English-official countries plus countries where >35% speak English (Eurobarometer/
EF), that weren't already chosen. cities.json grows to 1000 (500 global + 250
core-English + 250 extended), pulling in the biggest cities of India, Nigeria,
Pakistan, the Philippines, plus Amsterdam/Stockholm/Nairobi/Tel Aviv, etc.

gen_flavor.py is now incremental (fetches only cities missing a blurb, prunes stale
ones; --full to rebuild); cities_flavor.json refreshed to cover 942/1000.

"""Offline seeder for backend/cities_flavor.json — a short descriptive blurb per
city, so the crawlable /climate pages carry unique editorial text (not just the
templated stats) and read as distinct pages. Source: Wikipedia's free REST summary
API (no key). Text is CC BY-SA; the city page attributes it with a link.
python gen_flavor.py [--limit N] [--workers 8]
Each city is matched by name (then "name, country" / "name, admin1"), and the match
is validated by comparing Wikipedia's article coordinates to the city's known
lat/lon — so we don't attach the wrong "Springfield". Re-run to refresh; existing
entries for cities no longer in cities.json are dropped.
