 - Never use `@apply` in CSS
 - No inline `<script>` tags; use colocated JS hooks with `.` prefix names
 - Vendor deps must be imported into `app.js`/`app.css`, no external script `src` or link `href`
+- LiveView hooks that push `map_bounds` (or any viewport-scoped data request) MUST implement `reconnected()` and a `document.visibilitychange` listener. Server assigns reset on reconnect while the hook keeps its stale client-side grid lookup — Leaflet tiles regenerated outside that extent paint blank. Both callbacks should call `invalidateSize()` + the bounds-push method; clean up the listener in `destroyed()`.
