Trust layer, provenance, and contribution queue

Rider Height now explains how the model works, shows where bike measurements came from, and gives signed-in riders a path to suggest field-level corrections.

What is new

  • Published the methodology page with rider anthropometry, inverse-kinematics behavior, scoring thresholds, limitations, and source references.
  • Added per-bike provenance panels that show field-level source labels, source links, verification state, and notes for every populated geometry value.
  • Surfaced verification badges across catalog cards, bike detail headers, and provenance panels.
  • Added a contribution suggestion table, bike-detail correction form, and admin moderation queue gated by ADMIN_EMAILS.

What got fixed

  • Made provisional geometry easier to spot before users trust simulator output.
  • Replaced vague reporting copy with a concrete field-level correction workflow.
  • Kept the moderation flow separate from trusted geometry rows so pending submissions cannot silently change simulator data.

What is coming

  • Turn accepted contribution suggestions into a guided geometry-update workflow.
  • Tune comparison-guide coverage around high-intent searches such as MT-07 vs R7 ergonomics once those bikes are in the catalog.
  • Use API and embed telemetry to decide which public integrations deserve first-class support.
