Subject: [PATCH 17/99] feat: update group model and expand lexicon

Refactored Group model in db/group.py, adding the `group_type` and `monitoring_frequency` fields.

Added new categories and terms to core/lexicon.json to support expanded group types and monitoring frequencies.

Subject: [PATCH 19/99] refactor: update lexicon category names and terms
 associated with the StatusHistory table.

`well_status` is defined as a lexicon category, but it should be a lexicon value associated with the `status_type` category.

 The `status_type` category does not exist, but it should.

The terms assigned to the `well_status` category should actually be assigned to the `status_value` category.

Renamed `well_status` category to `status_value`.
Added new `status_type` category and related terms.
Updated term definitions.

`Monitoring Status` should be a value/term associated with the `status_type` category, not a category unto itself.

Removed the `monitoring_status` category and associated terms. Expanded terms associated with the `monitoring_frequency` category.

Subject: [PATCH 43/99] feat: create new `measuring_point_history` model.

The current schema lacks a way to track the authoritative measuring point height over time.

Created a new model, `measuring_point_history`, to store the official measuring point and description for a Thing. This table serves as a specialized historical log that tracks the measuring point over time.

Subject: [PATCH 44/99] feat: add new relationship to `Thing` model.

A Thing may have multiple measuring points over time. As such, the `Thing` model requires a relationship to the new `measuring_point_history` model.

A new One-To-Many relationship named `measuring_points` was added to the `Thing` model.

Subject: [PATCH 66/99] feat: add DataProvenance model and enhance base mixins

The current schema lacks a way to store and track provenance (origin) data across the database.

Created db/data_provenance.py with a polymorphic DataProvenance model for tracking foundational metadata across tables.
Added mixin DataProvenanceMixin to db/base.py for reusable polymorphic relationships.
Improved documentation and comments in db/base.py for mixins and helper functions.

The database tables are snake_case, so for consistency and ease of debugging, the `target_table` values should also use snake_case.

Refined the _thing_target and _location_target relationships to ensure DataProvenance.target_table uses snake_case ('thing', 'location') for the target table name.

Subject: [PATCH 73/99] refactor: move DataProvenanceMixin to
 data_provenance.py and refactor for class-level usage

- Relocated DataProvenanceMixin from base.py to data_provenance.py for better modularity and provenance management.
- Refactored mixin to use cls in @declared_attr for proper class-level relationship definition.
