feat: streamline photo-first spot creation and location privacy

   "optional". Access keeps its **Public default** (so it is always satisfied; the
   `*` marks membership in the required set), and Address has real inline
   validation (`createSpot.addressRequired`).
+  **Photo-first privacy/low-friction pass (2026-11-02):** `CreateSpotPage` was
+  rebuilt around the phone path. The live GPS is **not** auto-pinned: the form
+  starts from the URL pin, then the last map view (`getLastMapView`), and only
+  falls back to the cached map centre; “Use my current location” is an explicit
+  action that can become the public pin. The map picker is collapsed to a pin
+  summary until “Edit”; photos are first (gallery-first, camera is a secondary
+  link); the note is a 2-row field; category is a horizontal chip row; access is
+  a compact 3-button row; address is optional in **More details** and is filled
+  from the reverse-geocode area on publish (this **supersedes the 2026-10-07
+  required-address rule**); `QualityMeter` was removed; the publish CTA is fixed
+  above the mobile nav. Nearby duplicates show a non-blocking card with a
+  **Contribute photo** shortcut when photos are already selected. After publish
+  the app saves the new map view and returns to `/map` (toast action: Add another)
+  instead of forcing the detail page.
+  ⚠️ **Location privacy invariant:** Near Me GPS stays on-device and is never
+  auto-published. The explicit “Use my current location” action sets the public
+  spot pin, which is intentionally public; the warning key is
+  `spotUi.exactPinPublic` (translated in all 24 dictionaries). `clearLocationHistory()`
+  removes both `skatespots:last-location` and `skatespots:map-view` on
+  account switch/logout and is exposed in Settings → Appearance; drafts are
+  scoped by pubkey and `useFormDraft` debounces localStorage writes (400 ms).
+  ⚠️ **Remaining parity gap:** `EditSpotPage` still uses raw lat/lng + toast
+  validation and does not yet share the map picker/draft/duplicate guard.
+- **Map Add entry points (2026-11-02):** every map Add Spot link now carries the
+  current `mapCenter` (`/create-spot?lat=&lng=`), including the desktop toolbar,
+  mobile speed-dial, and empty-map/list CTAs. On phones the top Add Spot/More
+  controls are hidden; the single floating Add speed-dial is the add surface.
+  It closes on map tap and is hidden while a `pendingAddPin` card is present.
+  `MapPage` persists the map view through `saveLastMapView` (with `at`) and
+  restores it through `getLastMapView`.
+
 - **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
