+"""Refresh helper for mv_layout_velocity (Issue #113 PR B).

+    from app.services.site_finder.layout_velocity_refresh import refresh_layout_velocity
+
+    count = refresh_layout_velocity(db)
+    # logs: "mv_layout_velocity refreshed: 459 rows"

+-- Issue #113 PR B — Materialized view per (obj_id, room_bucket) for top-layouts ranking.
+--
+-- Sources:
+--   objective_corpus_room_month  — monthly per-corpus-per-room deals (19 738 rows, 2025-05..2026-05)
+--   objective_complex_mapping    — project_name → domrf_obj_id mapping (114 mapped objects)
+--
+-- Join key:
+--   objective_corpus_room_month.project_name = objective_complex_mapping.objective_complex_name
+--   (verified: one project_name → at most one domrf_obj_id)
+--
+-- room_bucket normalisation:
+--   cyrillic 'студия' → ASCII 'studio' for consistency with layout_signature.py (PR A, Issue #113)
+--   values '1', '2', '3', '4+' are kept as-is
+--
+-- Window: last 24 months (rolling, anchored to NOW() at refresh time)
+-- Expected rows after aggregation: ~459 (obj_id × room_bucket combinations)
+--
+-- REFRESH CONCURRENTLY is safe after this migration because a UNIQUE index
+-- on (obj_id, room_bucket) is created immediately.
+-- Subsequent refreshes: layout_velocity_refresh.py helper (PR B) — not scheduled yet.
+--
+-- Deploy: auto-applied by deploy.yml via _schema_migrations tracking.
+-- Dependencies: none (no views depend on this MV at creation time).
