Paddy 5eb60ec2d3 Map tiles: switch to Esri World Light Gray (OSM 403s file://)
tiles="OpenStreetMap" returned HTTP 403 "referer is required by tile usage
policy" in the target browser — OSM graylists refererless requests and a
karte.html opened via file:// sends no Referer. Esri's Canvas/World_Light_Gray
base + reference layers need neither a key nor a Referer and keep the muted
look. New MAP_TILES / MAP_TILES_LABELS / MAP_TILES_ATTR constants; generate_map
adds them as explicit TileLayers.

DRK Blutspende Arbeitsorte: Dokumentation

Developer/maintainer documentation for the Arbeitsorte-Logger, a small desktop app that records blood-drive work assignments (date + city + postal code) and plots them on an interactive map.

Context: built as a personal tool for a single user, running locally on a Linux Mint laptop. Ease of use for a non-technical user is the primary design constraint. There is no server, no multi-user story, and no network dependency beyond geocoding and the map tiles.
