Research direction

Start by locating the episode-level capacity conversion logic in the Python data-processing code and inspect how theatre activity is currently identified. Implement the stated per-episode, per-date selection of the greatest op order as individual theatre cases. Done means the resulting theatre cases match that selection rule; add or update tests if existing coverage is found.
