+- **Sub-national region dataset + generator (#16, foundation only — no app behavior change).** A new dependency-free `scripts/generate-regions.mjs` (run via `npm run generate:regions`) splits each of the 177 countries in `public/countries.geo.json` into adaptive ~100–200 km sub-national regions on a regular lat/lon grid clipped to the country (Sutherland–Hodgman), and writes the committed `public/regions.geo.json` (**2,597 regions**, ~755 KB). Each region is id'd `<ISO_A3>-<nn>` (nn = 1..k in row-major order, capped at 36 per country) with `properties = { name, parent }`, so downstream work can map any region back to its parent nation. Antimeridian countries are handled three ways: small island groups (Fiji) stay a single whole-country region; large ones (Russia) are tiled in shifted [0,360) longitude space with output rings split at ±180°; and the full-360° Antarctic wrap ring becomes two hemispheric wedges. The output is fully deterministic — the same input yields a byte-identical file (verified by sha256).
+- **Validation test** — new self-contained `scripts/regions.test.ts` (picked up by `npm test`) reads the two GeoJSON files once each and asserts: the file is a well-formed FeatureCollection; every region is a valid feature whose id matches `^[A-Z]{3}-\d+$` and whose `parent` is a real country id; every country has 1–36 regions (≥2 for any country larger than 50,000 km²); every region has a sane area (≥ 200 km², with a microstate exemption, and < 5,000,000 km²); and each country's regions sum to 45–108% of its own area (the measured range is ~[64%, 105%] — Antarctica's wedges under-fill, Norway's high-latitude fjord coast over-fills by 0.1%). No change to the running app, the LLM contract, or the map — this is purely the dataset + tooling that later PRs for #16 build on.

 ## v0.10.0 — 2026-10-11 21:25
 - **Fix world map style (#2)** — made the choropleth fill fully opaque (`fill-opacity` 0.85 → 1.0) and darkened the Natural Earth terrain raster (`raster-opacity` 0.5 → 0.15), so the raster's flat water tint and fine 1:10m coastline no longer bleed through countries and compete with the borders.
 - **Strengthened country border lines** — border width 0.7 → 1.25, and the per-region stroke alphas raised (owned 0.10 → 0.30, unowned 0.06 → 0.14) so the vector borders read clearly as the dominant edge, with owned regions still more prominent than unowned ones.
