The local location_history table is a one-time Takeout import: it ends
in 2019, still has the ghost-device and coarse cell-fix samples Apollo
has since excluded, and was read loosely. The per-photo line took the
nearest sample within +/-3 h at any distance (17% of photo moments got a
position >2 km away), and get_location_history listed the first 20 rows
of a +/-14-day window sorted ascending (always ~14 days before the date).
With APOLLO_API_BASE_URL set:
- per-photo context comes from /api/location/at (30 min max gap; no
sample -> no line). A Place stay renders as "at Home (14:02-18:30)" in
the display zone; an unnamed sample is reverse-geocoded.
- get_location_history returns Apollo's /api/location/day timeline for
the date (+/-1 day at most), and is offered even with an empty local
table.
Both fall back to the local table when Apollo is unset or a call fails;
the local tool path now covers the requested local day(s) and samples
evenly instead of listing a window's first rows.
