docs: add superpowers-friendly state and backlog summary
Summarize current v2.4 state and forward-looking backlog in docs/ as a
parallel entry point to the active .planning/ GSD workspace. Lets
superpowers skills (brainstorming → writing-plans → executing-plans)
work from a clean starting point without retiring the existing workflow.

Also ignore .idea/ so JetBrains project files stay local.

title: Add manufacturer entity with brand details
area: database
files:

---
## Problem
The manual item adding form doesn't include detailed manufacturer info. Currently `brand` is just a text field on items and globalItems. There's no structured manufacturer data (logo, website, country, description). Users can't select from existing manufacturers — they type freeform text which leads to inconsistencies ("Ortlieb" vs "ORTLIEB" vs "ortlieb").
## Solution
Create a `manufacturers` table with fields: `id`, `name` (unique), `logoUrl`, `websiteUrl`, `country`, `description`, `createdAt`. Add a `manufacturerId` FK on `globalItems` (and potentially `items`). Build a manufacturer picker component (like CategoryPicker) with search and inline create. Update the manual add form and catalog enrichment to use the manufacturer entity. This is a significant feature — likely needs its own phase.
Note: This would also improve the MCP agent seeding workflow — agents could create manufacturers first, then reference them when creating catalog items.
