## What is Solar Lore?

Solar Lore is a calm sunlight companion for local solar timing, SDO imagery, daylight rhythm, and reflective public-source solar traditions. See the current light phase, sunrise, sunset, civil dusk, daylight remaining, seasonal markers, and a Solar Lab view using latest-available NASA/SDO imagery with cached fallback handling.

Features:
- Local solar phase and daylight progress
- Sunrise, sunset, golden hour, and dusk context
- Solar Lab imagery with selectable SDO channels
- Region and culture selector for reflective lore
- Apple Watch companion views and complications
- Configurable location mode, precision, image channel, and app icon
- Free starter culture set with optional one-time lifetime unlock

Solar Lore is for reflection, education and personal meaning. It does not provide safety, agriculture, ritual timing, navigation, health, spiritual authority, or guaranteed solar event advice.
