Operators sometimes bake location identifiers into the project string
for email-readability — "Fay - Locks & Dam No3 - Loc 2 - 735 Bunola"
where "Fay - Locks & Dam No3" is the actual project and "- Loc 2 -
735 Bunola" is location info that already lives in sensor_location.
Without stripping, every "- Loc N" variant became a separate project,
fragmenting what should be one project with several locations.
Backend:
- New _extract_project_root() helper. Regex matches " - Loc N" / "-Loc3" /
" - Location #5" / etc. with case-insensitive multi-dash support; strips
from that marker forward and cleans up dangling separators. Strings
without a Loc-marker pass through unchanged.
- Cluster dataclass adds project_root field alongside project_raw.
project_raw stays the operator-typed string for display ("hover to see
what was actually typed"). project_root is what gets normalised for
matching and used as the suggested project name.
- _ensure_project + _ensure_location now do normalisation-aware dedup
before creating: a cluster of "SR81" and a cluster of "SR 81" (which
normalise to the same string) collapse into one project on apply,
even when applied in the same bulk operation. Avoids UNIQUE
constraint collisions and duplicate-named-by-spacing projects.
Frontend:
- Wizard cluster cards show "↳ stripped trailing 'Loc N' suffix; operator
typed: <raw>" when project_root differs from project_raw, so the
operator can see at a glance what the parser did to the string.
Real-data results: against the same 10,055 SFM events, confidence
distribution improved from 37/14/8 (high/med/low) to 43/9/7. "Fay -
Locks & Dam No3" now appears as ONE project across 6 cluster instances
spanning 3 serials and 6 different locations — exactly the
"one project, many locations" model the user described.
