+-- 15_map_exclude_cost_centres.sql
+-- Hide non-operational vehicles from the LIVE tracking map (FleetNow + liveposition SPA).
+--
+-- A small, ops-editable config table lists the cost centres to exclude. reporting.v_live_positions
+-- (the base view behind reporting.fn_live_positions, which dashboard_api serves) filters out any
+-- plate whose device(s) carry an excluded cost centre. Editing the table changes the map on the
+-- next query — no code change, no redeploy.
+--
+-- Scope: LIVE map only. Trip history (reporting.v_trips materialised view) is deliberately NOT
+-- touched. Initial exclusions: personal + management (staff/personal cars) and mtn (the MTN
+-- contract / Uganda-Kampala fleet, outside Kenyan ops).
+--
+-- The v_live_positions body below is reproduced verbatim from the live prod definition
+-- (== migrations/11_reporting_schema.sql) with a single added filter in the primary_device CTE.
+-- Safe to re-apply (CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS / INSERT ON CONFLICT / CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW).
