feat(create-spot): pin map, progressive disclosure, mandatory photo+description, inline errors, draft autosave

AGENTS.md

@@ -1098,11 +1098,31 @@ session with **no other memory of this project**. So:
   `SpotOwnership.tsx` (private branch) and a pending-claims list atop `/review`.
   ⚠️ Proves key control + NIP-05, **not property ownership**. Non-private spots
   keep the abandoned-claim flow. See NIP.md → "Private-spot ownership claims".
-- **Photo is recommended, not required (2026-09-28):** the hard block in
-  `CreateSpotPage` was removed — it punished an honest mapper with no photo on
-  hand. Publishing with no photo is allowed; the spot stays **Unverified**
-  (`SpotDetailPage` badge), the success toast says so, and the review queue's
-  'no photo' flag lets a human look later. The pre-submit checklist still nudges.
+- **Photo + description are required again (2026-10-07, reverses 2026-09-28).**
+  Owner decision: the create-spot form now requires **≥1 photo AND a non-empty
+  description** (on top of name/type/location) — the empty husk / one-word test
+  pin can't publish. ⚠️ This is a **junk filter, not sybil defence**: a bot can
+  upload a random image; the real sybil levers remain PoW, WoT weighting and the
+  ≥3-distinct-reporter auto-hide. The 2026-09-28 "photo recommended, not required"
+  decision is **superseded** — do not revert. No-photo publishing is gone.
+- **Add-spot flow overhaul (2026-10-07).** Three parts, one commit:
+  (1) **Map tap no longer jumps** you into the form. `MapPage.handleMapClick`
+  drops a `pendingAddPin` (rendered by `SpotMap`'s `pendingPin` prop) and shows an
+  "Add a spot here?" card; only its **Add spot** button navigates to
+  `/create-spot?lat=&lng=`. (2) **The form has a real pin map** —
+  `src/components/SpotLocationPicker.tsx` (tap to drop, drag to fine-tune, cached
+  tiles). `createSpot.pickOnMap` was an **orphaned key** — the map picker had been
+  intended all along; raw lat/lng now live behind an "Enter coordinates manually"
+  toggle. (3) **Progressive disclosure + inline errors + draft autosave:** required
+  fields (map, name, description, type, photo) are up front; access/contact/shelter/
+  tags/address sit under a **More details** collapsible (access defaults public,
+  shelter defaults outdoor); field errors render inline (no toast per field); and
+  the form autosaves via **`useFormDraft`** (generalized from `useLabDraft`, same
+  resume-banner pattern). ⚠️ Leaflet's base CSS is **CDN-loaded in `index.html`**
+  (`src/main.tsx` just has a comment) — a new Leaflet map needs no CSS import.
+  Still open: the 60 m duplicate check still runs on submit with
+  `useSkateSpots(500)` (move it to pin-time + a targeted geohash query), and
+  publish still blocks on `reverseGeocodeRegions` before signing.
 - **Map pin rendering (perf, 2026-09-29):** the spot/tour/event/crew marker
   effect in `SpotMap.tsx` used to `clearLayers()` + rebuild **every** marker
   whenever the parent handed it fresh arrays, and added each marker with a
