feat: Illustrator entity and card associations #90

Description

@hjacque

Goal

Track the illustrator of each card as a first-class entity. Artist identity is a meaningful part of a promo card's cultural weight and collectibility — Mitsuhiro Arita, Ken Sugimori, Atsuko Nishida each have their own collector following.

Design notes

  • New Illustrator model: id, name, optionally nationality, activeYears
  • Many-to-one relationship: ProductIllustrator (one card, one illustrator)
  • Data entry likely manual initially; could later pull from Bulbapedia or TCGDex
  • Enables: filter collection/wishlist by artist, "all Arita cards I'm missing", artist-based comps

Enables

  • Illustrator as a dimension in popularity scoring (feat: Pokémon popularity score #89)
  • Grouping and filtering in the dashboard by artist
  • Artist portfolio view: all cards by a given illustrator, owned vs. wishlist
