Implement Phase 1: Persona-based LLM query system for urban planning

This commit implements the complete Phase 1 of the AI Personas system,
enabling users to query synthetic personas representing diverse urban
planning stakeholders and receive contextually-aware responses.

Core Features:
- 6 diverse synthetic personas (urban planner, business owner, engineer,
resident, housing advocate, developer)
- Comprehensive persona data models with demographics, psychographics,
and behavioral profiles
- Environmental context system modeling built environment, social,
economic, and temporal factors
- Anthropic Claude LLM integration with smart prompt construction
- End-to-end query-response pipeline
- Interactive CLI and example scripts
- Full test suite and documentation

Key Components:
- src/personas: Persona data models and database management
- src/context: Environmental context system
- src/llm: LLM integration (Anthropic Claude, extensible to Be.FM)
- src/pipeline: Query orchestration and response handling
- data/personas: 6 detailed persona JSON definitions
- data/contexts: Sample downtown district context
- examples: Usage demonstrations
- docs: Comprehensive getting started guide

Technical Stack:
- Python 3.11+
- Pydantic for data validation
- Anthropic Claude API
- Modular architecture for Phase 2/3 extensions

Testing:
- All personas load correctly (6/6)
- Context system functional
- Search and filtering operational
- Summary generation working

Next Steps:
- Phase 2: Population-based response distributions
- Phase 3: Multi-persona influence and opinion equilibria

+# AI Personas for Urban Planning
+
+A multi-phase persona simulation system for urban planning and built environment design, enabling stakeholder perspective analysis and opinion dynamics modeling.
+
+## Overview
+
+This system allows users to:
+- **Phase 1**: Query synthetic personas representing urban stakeholders and receive contextually-aware responses
+- **Phase 2**: Generate response distributions from populations of persona variants
+- **Phase 3**: Model multi-persona interactions to discover opinion equilibria
+

+## Usage Examples
+
+### Query a Persona
+
+```python
+from src.pipeline.query_engine import QueryEngine
+
+engine = QueryEngine()
+
+# Ask a persona about a planning issue
+response = engine.query(
+    persona_id="sarah_chen",
+    question="What do you think about the proposed bike lane on Main Street?",
+    context={
+        "location": "downtown_district",
+        "time": "rush_hour",
+        "recent_events": ["community_meeting_last_week"]
+    }
+)
+
+print(response)
+```
+
+### Get Population Distribution (Phase 2)
+
+```python
+from src.population.sampler import PopulationSampler
+
+sampler = PopulationSampler(base_persona="sarah_chen", n_variants=100)
+distribution = sampler.query_population(
+    question="Rate your support for the bike lane (1-10)"
+)
+
+# distribution.mean, distribution.std, distribution.histogram
+```

+# Getting Started with AI Personas
+
+This guide will help you set up and start using the AI Personas system for urban planning.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Python 3.11 or higher
+- Anthropic API key (get one at https://console.anthropic.com/)
+- Basic understanding of urban planning concepts (helpful but not required)
+
+## Installation
+
+### 1. Clone and Setup
+
+```bash
+cd AI_Personas
+
+# Create virtual environment
+python -m venv venv
+
+# Activate virtual environment
+# On macOS/Linux:
+source venv/bin/activate
+# On Windows:
+# venv\Scripts\activate
+
+# Install dependencies
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+### 2. Configure API Key
+
+```bash
+# Copy the environment template
+cp .env.example .env
+
+# Edit .env and add your Anthropic API key
+# ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your_actual_key_here
+```
+
+**Important:** Never commit your `.env` file to version control!
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Test the System
+
+```bash
+# Run a simple test query
+python examples/phase1_simple_query.py
+```
+
+This will query Sarah Chen (our urban planner persona) about a bike lane proposal.
+
+### Interactive CLI
+
+```bash
+# Launch the interactive command-line interface
+python -m src.cli
+```
+
+The CLI allows you to:
+- Query individual personas interactively
+- Query all personas with the same question
+- Browse available personas and contexts
+- Experiment with different scenarios
+
+### Query Multiple Perspectives
+
+```bash
+# See how all 6 stakeholders respond to the same issue
+python examples/phase1_multiple_perspectives.py
+```
+
+This demonstrates the power of the system: seeing diverse stakeholder perspectives on the same urban planning issue.
+
+## Understanding the System
+
+### The 6 Personas
+
+The system includes 6 diverse urban planning stakeholders:
+
+1. **Sarah Chen** - Progressive urban planner focused on sustainability
+2. **Marcus Thompson** - Local business owner concerned about economic impacts
+3. **Dr. Elena Rodriguez** - Data-driven transportation engineer
+4. **James O'Brien** - Long-time resident protective of neighborhood character
+5. **Priya Patel** - Young housing justice advocate
+6. **David Kim** - Market-driven real estate developer
+
+Each persona has:
+- Detailed demographics and background
+- Core values and priorities
+- Communication style and language patterns
+- Domain expertise
+- Typical concerns
+
+### Environmental Contexts
+
+Contexts provide situational information that influences responses:
+
+- **Built environment**: Density, transit access, amenities
+- **Social context**: Demographics, community characteristics
+- **Economic context**: Housing costs, employment, development
+- **Temporal context**: Time, season, recent events
+
+The system currently includes one sample context: `downtown_district`
+
+## Basic Usage Examples
+
+### Python API
+
+```python
+from src.pipeline.query_engine import QueryEngine
+
+# Initialize
+engine = QueryEngine()
+
+# Query a single persona
+response = engine.query(
+    persona_id="sarah_chen",
+    question="What do you think about adding bike lanes?",
+    context_id="downtown_district"
+)
+
+print(f"{response.persona_name}: {response.response}")
+
+# Query multiple personas
+responses = engine.query_multiple(
+    persona_ids=["sarah_chen", "marcus_thompson", "elena_rodriguez"],
+    question="Should we reduce parking for bike lanes?",
+    context_id="downtown_district"
+)
+
+for r in responses:
+    print(f"\n{r.persona_name} ({r.persona_role}):")
+    print(r.response)
+```
+
+### Custom Scenarios
+
+You can add scenario descriptions for more specific queries:
+
+```python
+scenario = """
+The city is considering a $50M bond measure to fund:
+- 20 miles of protected bike lanes
+- Three new bus rapid transit lines
+- Pedestrian improvements in 10 neighborhoods
+This would increase property taxes by $200/year for median homeowner.
+"""
+
+response = engine.query(
+    persona_id="james_obrien",
+    question="Would you support this bond measure?",
+    context_id="downtown_district",
+    scenario_description=scenario
+)
+```
+
+## Creating Custom Personas
+
+To add your own personas:
+
+1. Copy an existing persona JSON file from `data/personas/`
+2. Modify the attributes to match your new persona
+3. Save with a new filename in the same directory
+4. The system will automatically load it on next run
+
+Key fields to customize:
+- `persona_id`: Unique identifier (use snake_case)
+- `name`, `role`, `tagline`: Basic identity
+- `demographics`: Age, education, occupation, etc.
+- `psychographics`: Values, priorities, political leaning
+- `behavioral_profile`: Communication and decision-making style
+- `background_story`: Narrative context
+
+## Creating Custom Contexts
+
+To add environmental contexts:
+
+1. Copy `data/contexts/downtown_district.json`
+2. Modify the fields to match your location
+3. Save with a new filename in the same directory
+
+## Tips for Effective Queries
+
+1. **Be specific**: Instead of "What do you think about housing?", ask "Should we allow 4-story apartment buildings on Main Street?"
+
+2. **Add context**: Use scenario descriptions to provide relevant details
+
+3. **Compare perspectives**: Query multiple personas to see different viewpoints
+
+4. **Use realistic situations**: Ground questions in actual planning decisions
+
+5. **Consider timing**: Recent events in temporal context can influence responses
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### "No personas loaded"
+- Check that JSON files exist in `data/personas/`
+- Verify JSON syntax is valid
+- Check file permissions
+
+### "Anthropic API key must be provided"
+- Ensure `.env` file exists
+- Verify `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` is set correctly
+- Check that you've activated the virtual environment
+
+### "Persona not found"
+- Run `python -m src.cli` and select option 3 to list available personas
+- Check spelling of persona_id (must match exactly)
+
+### Poor quality responses
+- Try adjusting temperature (lower = more consistent, higher = more creative)
+- Provide more context via scenario descriptions
+- Ensure persona definitions are detailed and realistic
+
+## Next Steps
+
+### Phase 2: Population Distributions (Coming Soon)
+
+Phase 2 will enable:
+- Generating 100s of persona variants with statistical distributions
+- Analyzing response distributions (mean, variance, clusters)
+- Visualizing how a population would respond
+
+### Phase 3: Opinion Dynamics (Coming Soon)
+
+Phase 3 will enable:
+- Modeling influence between personas
+- Running simulations to find opinion equilibria
+- Discovering consensus and polarization patterns
+
+## Support
+
+- Check the main [README.md](../README.md) for overview
+- Review example scripts in `examples/` directory
+- Examine persona JSON files in `data/personas/` to understand structure
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Version control personas**: Treat persona definitions as code
+2. **Document assumptions**: Add notes in metadata fields
+3. **Iterate on personas**: Refine based on response quality
+4. **Mix perspectives**: Use diverse personas for balanced analysis
+5. **Ground in reality**: Base personas on real stakeholder research
+
+Happy planning! 🏙️
