+## Sprint 116 Operational GIS map workflow (2026-07-04)
+
+Changed:
+- Switched the default MapLibre basemap to an OpenStreetMap road raster style with visible attribution while preserving `VITE_MAP_STYLE_URL` as the override for managed/production map styles.
+- Added a persisted database layer selector to the Map workspace so ready vector datasets can be opened directly from stored project data.
+- Added an Operational GIS run panel that reuses the selected AOI bbox or active layer bbox and calls the existing persisted `vector_features` bbox selection workflow.
+- Updated `CHANGELOG.md`, `docs/TODO.md`, `docs/ENVIRONMENT_SPEC.md` and `frontend/README.md`.
+- Added regression coverage in `backend/tests/test_sprint116_operational_gis_map_workflow.py`.
+
+Validation:
+- `cd frontend && npm run typecheck` passed.
+- `python -m pytest backend\tests\test_sprint116_operational_gis_map_workflow.py backend\tests\test_sprint85_map_workspace_density.py backend\tests\test_sprint106_map_bbox_extract.py backend\tests\test_sprint107_map_selection_export.py backend\tests\test_sprint108_map_selection_derived_dataset.py -q` passed: 18 tests.
+- `cd frontend && npm run build` passed.
+- `python -m compileall backend/app` passed.
+- `cd backend && python -m pytest -q` passed: 364 tests.
+- `bash scripts/run_readiness_check.sh` passed: 364 backend tests plus frontend typecheck/build.
+- `cd backend && python -m alembic heads` passed: `202606120900 (head)`.
+- `cd backend && python -m alembic upgrade head --sql` passed.
+- `bash -n scripts/live_migration_smoke.sh` passed.
+
+Limitations:
+- The default OpenStreetMap tile service is appropriate for local V1 testing and demos, but production or heavier deployments should set `VITE_MAP_STYLE_URL` to a managed tile/style provider.
+- This pass does not add live GRB/OSM fetching, new API routes, new migrations or fake data.
+
+Next recommended pass:
+- Run a browser-facing map workflow smoke against the deployed app, then add a guided persisted-reference QA test run if the operational flow needs fewer manual steps.
