Enum: SeasonEnum

Seasonal suitability of a clothing or footwear item. Used on ClothingCategory (season slot) and FootwearCategory (season slot).

Design notes:

  • Four values only — fine enough for redistribution decisions,

    coarse enough for fast sorting.

  • spring_autumn is a single value because the thermal characteristics

    that define a transitional garment are the same regardless of

    which shoulder season it appears in.

  • all_season covers items with no meaningful seasonal constraint

    (e.g. a plain cotton t-shirt, a lightweight fleece) — distinct from

    "we don't know" (absence of the field) and from "suitable in all

    conditions including winter" (is_winter_suitable=true + all_season).

  • Multivalued: a linen blazer might be both spring_autumn and summer.

    Record all applicable values.
