Map (reference ← swipe → agent)

I'm putting together a retail-density readout for a downtown Cairo brief. `cairo_retail` has two layers, `shops` and `anchors`. For each anchor I need the 5 nearest shops with distance in metres and a within-1 km flag, plus a 5x3 distance matrix from those 5 shops to the anchor's 3 closest sibling anchors. The chain names in the source data have inconsistent spellings, so the output should use consistent names: the same `shop_id` always carries the same `normalised_name`, and all shops belonging to one chain share a single canonical spelling. Tidy the anchor names too.
Please write `market_neighbourhoods.json` as a top-level JSON array with one record per anchor. Each record carries the keys `anchor_id`, `anchor_name_normalised` (non-empty string), `knn` (exactly 5 entries sorted by ascending `distance_m`), and `full_distance_matrix_m` (5 rows by 3 numeric columns; rows follow the knn order, columns correspond to the sibling anchors in distance-ascending order). Each `knn` entry has `shop_id`, `normalised_name`, `distance_m` (finite numeric, in metres), and `within_1km` (boolean, true when `distance_m` is at most 1000).
