+## Description
+
+<!-- SECTION:DESCRIPTION:BEGIN -->
+Make the open-mapping module production-ready by fixing TypeScript errors, re-enabling it in the build, and polishing the UI components.
+
+Currently the open-mapping directory is excluded from tsconfig due to TypeScript errors. This task covers:
+1. Fix TypeScript errors in src/open-mapping/**
+2. Re-enable in tsconfig.json
+3. Add NODE_OPTIONS for build memory
+4. Polish MapShapeUtil UI (multi-route, layer panel)
+5. Test collaboration features
+6. Deploy to staging
+<!-- SECTION:DESCRIPTION:END -->
+
