 ## [Unreleased]
 
 ### Added
+- **JSONL streaming landing format** — extractors now write one JSON object per line (`.jsonl.gz`) instead of a single large blob, eliminating in-memory accumulation and `maximum_object_size` workarounds:
+  - `playtomic_tenants.py` → `tenants.jsonl.gz` (one tenant per line; dedup still happens in memory before write)
+  - `playtomic_availability.py` → `availability_{date}.jsonl.gz` (one venue per line with `date`/`captured_at_utc` injected; working file IS the final file — eliminates the consolidation step)
+  - `geonames.py` → `cities_global.jsonl.gz` (one city per line; eliminates 30 MB blob and its `maximum_object_size` workaround)
+  - `compress_jsonl_atomic(jsonl_path, dest_path)` utility added to `utils.py` — streams compression in 1 MB chunks, atomic `.tmp` rename, deletes source
+- **Regional Overpass splitting for tennis courts** — replaces single global query (150K+ elements, timed out) with 10 regional bbox queries (~10-40K elements each, 150s server / 180s client):
+  - Regions: europe\_west, europe\_central, europe\_east, north\_america, south\_america, asia\_east, asia\_west, oceania, africa, asia\_north
+  - Per-region retry (2 attempts, 30s cooldown) + 5s inter-region polite delay
+  - Crash recovery via `working.jsonl` accumulation — already-written element IDs skipped on restart; completed regions produce 0 new elements on re-query
+  - Output: `courts.jsonl.gz` (one OSM element per line)
+- **`scripts/init_landing_seeds.py`** — creates minimal `.jsonl.gz` and `.json.gz` seed files in `1970/01/` so SQLMesh staging models can run before real extraction data arrives; idempotent
+
+### Changed
+- All modified staging SQL models use **UNION ALL transition CTEs** — both JSONL (new) and blob (old) formats are readable simultaneously; old `.json.gz` files in the landing zone continue working until they rotate out naturally:
+  - `stg_playtomic_venues`, `stg_playtomic_resources`, `stg_playtomic_opening_hours` — JSONL top-level columns (no `UNNEST(tenants)`)
+  - `stg_playtomic_availability` — JSONL morning files + blob morning files + blob recheck files
+  - `stg_population_geonames` — JSONL city rows (no `UNNEST(rows)`, no `maximum_object_size`)
+  - `stg_tennis_courts` — JSONL elements with `COALESCE(lat, center.lat)` for way/relation centre coords; blob UNNEST kept for old files
 - **Marketplace admin dashboard** (`/admin/marketplace`) — single-screen health view for the two-sided market:
   - **Lead funnel** — total / verified-new (ready to unlock) / unlocked / won / conversion rate
   - **Credit economy** — total credits issued, consumed (lead unlocks), outstanding balance across all paid suppliers, 30-day burn rate
