Captures brainstorm decisions for the meal-planner algorithm and the
minimum recipe-engine surface needed to feed it:
- 6 hard constraints (blocklist, never_suggest, recency N=4, calories
+/-20%, time <=45min, cost <=$30)
- Top-K=20 set enumeration with diversity penalty for protein/cuisine
- Ingredient<->grocery_item matching as a cacheable layer (rapidfuzz +
manual override) rather than per-run fuzzy work
- Thin phase 4: recipe CRUD, ingredient CRUD, resolve-ingredient
assist, manual match override, match job, 30-recipe seed
- Recipe ingestion source pros/cons (TheMealDB + Spoonacular + manual)
documented; decision deferred until phase 4 + phase 9 work end-to-end
