 | `backend/census/models.py` | Dataclasses: `ItemData`, `ItemStat`, `ItemEffect`, `GuildData`, `GuildMember`, `CharacterSpells`, `SpellEntry`, `NodeAA`, `CharacterAAs` |
 | `backend/census/constants.py` | `STAT_MAP` (stat display names/groups), class frozensets (`FIGHTERS`, `PRIESTS`, `SCOUTS`, `MAGES`, `ARTISANS`), `ARCHETYPES`, `CLASS_GROUPS`, `TYPEINFO_DISPLAY`, `ITEM_DISPLAY` |
 | `backend/census/item_parser.py` | Item data parsing helpers (parse_item, parse_stats, parse_effects, parse_flags, etc.) extracted from client.py |
-| `backend/eq2db/spells.py` | Local SQLite spell catalogue — `SpellCatalogue` class (shared `catalogue` instance): strip_roman, unique_highest_entries, load_blocklist, find_by_ids, find_by_crc, spell_to_row, upsert_spells. Every eq2db module follows this convention: pure helpers are staticmethods with full bodies in the class, DB reads are instance methods on a per-instance `path`, tests construct `XCatalogue(tmp_db)` and patch the instance, `tests/conftest.py` re-points `catalogue.path`. All seven catalogues inherit `BaseCatalogue` (`backend/db_catalogue.py`) — `init_db` is a template method (connection preamble + commit in the base); subclasses implement `_create_schema` (+ optional `_post_init` backfills), set `FOREIGN_KEYS`/`CREATE_META` class flags, and override `clear_caches` when they hold caches. |

The same architecture covers the other SQLite stores: `CensusStore` (census/store.py), `ParsesStore` (server/parses/db.py), and the seven users.db domain stores (`XStore(AsyncStoreBase)` in server/db/ — schema stays with the package init_db orchestrator; the `backend.server.db` facade re-exports bound methods so `users_db.fn(...)` call sites are unchanged; conftest re-points every store via `users_db.ALL_STORES`). |
 | `backend/eq2db/recipes.py` | Local SQLite recipe catalogue (~70k rows) — `RecipeCatalogue`: find_by_id, find_by_name, find_by_spell, find_spells_by_tier, find_by_output_id. Secondary components stored as JSON array. |
 | `backend/eq2db/aas.py` | Local SQLite AA catalogue (aas.db — committed like classes.db). Tables `aa_trees` (tree_type + max_points precomputed at build) + `aa_nodes` + `aa_limits` (per-xpac caps from aa_limits.json). Accessors: `load_tree_index`, `tree_node_costs`, `tree_max_points`, `total_max_points`, `get_tree`, `xpac_limits` (short-code alias tolerant); `detect_tree_type` is build-time only. Rebuild: `scripts/download_aa_trees.py` (tree JSONs are local intermediates, gitignored) then `scripts/build_aas_db.py`; commit the db. |
 | `backend/eq2db/zones.py` | Local SQLite zone catalogue (~1124 rows) — `ZoneCatalogue` over frozen dataclass models (`Zone`, `ZoneEncounter`, `ZoneEncounterMob`, `FeaturedRaid*`). Tables: `zones`, `zone_types`, `zone_aliases`, `zone_encounters`, `zone_encounter_mobs` + the featured-raid trio. Lookups: `find_by_name`, `list_by_expansion`, `list_by_event`, `list_by_type`, `list_bosses_for_zone`, `find_zones_by_boss`. Zone metadata from `scripts/dev/eq2_zones.cleaned.json`; rebuild via `scripts/build_zones_db.py`. Boss data is curator-managed in-place. |
 | `backend/census/wikitext_md.py` | MediaWiki wikitext → markdown converter (mwparserfromhell). Handles EQ2i templates, wikilinks, nested lists, headings, bold/italic. Used by the raid scraper. |
 | `backend/eq2db/raids.py` | Local SQLite raid-strategy catalogue — `RaidCatalogue`: `raid_zones` + `raid_encounters` (markdown blob per encounter) + `raid_encounter_revisions` + ACT trigger/spell-timer tables (helpers folded in from the former raids_act.py). `SOURCE_*` provenance tokens mirrored as class attributes. `DB_RAIDS_PATH` env var. |

 | `backend/image/tooltip.py` | PIL renderer for item tooltips. Renders at 2× then downsamples (SCALE=2, ZOOM=1.3). See file for colour/stat/ordering details. |
 | `backend/image/aa_tree.py` | AA tree renderers and coordinate systems. See file for tree-type detection and coordinate arithmetic. |
 | `backend/bot/bot.py` | Registers all cogs, syncs slash commands to three specific guild IDs (648253204760625160, 955890381847928892, 1502314690041221260) for instant propagation plus a global sync. |
