Names (the genealogy standard: maiden name primary, married/alias as typed
alternates):
- Name model already supported multiple typed names; expose full CRUD —
NameCreate/Read/Update schemas, name_service (one-primary invariant,
promote-on-delete), nested /persons/{id}/names routes.
- Person page gains a Names card: add/edit/delete + "make primary", with a
curated name_type dropdown (birth/maiden, married, alias, nickname, …).
Self-person ("who am I"):
- users.self_person_id FK (use_alter for the users<->persons<->trees cycle)
+ migration; PATCH /users/me/self-person; "This is me" / "This is you"
on the person page. Soft-deleting the linked person clears it.
Deletion integrity (fixes the broken tree view):
- delete_person now soft-deletes the relationships touching the person, so no
dangling edges remain; family-chart also filters links to missing people.
- Optional cascade=true recursively deletes descendants (GEDCOM cleanup);
the person page asks "only this person" vs "with all descendants".
- DELETE returns {deleted: n}.
Family view surfaces "Not connected to anyone" so dangling people aren't lost.

- Tree page: add a "Find a person" search box that jumps the chart to a
match and rebuilds the hourglass (parents/grandparents/partner/children)
around them. Clicking any card recenters via family-chart's default
behavior (setAncestryDepth 3 / setProgenyDepth 2), syncing focus through
setAfterUpdate for the "Open profile" link.
- Person detail: replace the relationship "add" <select> with a
type-to-filter PersonCombobox so long people lists are searchable.
- Person detail: gender is now a Male/Female dropdown, not free text.

Tree page gets Landscape/Portrait/Fan toggles: landscape & portrait via family-chart's orientation; a hand-rolled radial Fan chart of ancestors (rings per generation, click to recenter). Clicking a card recenters and updates an 'Open <name> →' link to that person's profile. The People directory search now hits the server-side pg_trgm fuzzy endpoint (debounced) so it spans the whole tree, not just the loaded page.

Researched how FamilySearch/Geni/MyHeritage lay out trees (switchable pedigree/portrait/fan, an interactive canvas with pan/zoom + click-to-recenter, gender colors, birth-death years) and built a real Tree page on the MIT d3 library family-chart instead of a flat list. Ancestors + descendants around a focus person, click any card to recenter, drag to pan, scroll to zoom — scales to large imported trees. Tree is now the first per-tree sidebar item and the default when opening a tree; People keeps the searchable directory + add/edit.
