+### BUG-14 — Geocode slow/unreliable — location labels fail to load during scrubbing
+- **Status**: `CLOSED` 2026-08-12
+- **Commit**: `0ddfe39`
+- **Fix**: Ditched Nominatim entirely — it was slow (1 req/sec rate limit, ~4s
+  timeouts) and often blocked/throttled from Docker/Cloudflare IPs. Replaced with
+  reverse_geocoder exclusively: an offline Python library that maps lat/lon →
+  city/province instantly with no network. JS `preload()` switched from N individual
+  GET requests to single `POST /api/geocode/batch`. Server batch endpoint simplified
+  to sequential loop with lru_cache + dedup.
+- **Verification**: `POST /api/geocode/batch` returns `{"Montreal, Quebec",
+  "Longueuil, Quebec"}` instantly on Pi. Server Docker rebuilt and healthy.
