Add endpoint_path and payload_mapping to data_source_capabilities model

- Updated schema to include two new columns: `endpoint_path` and `payload_mapping`.
- Created corresponding Alembic migrations.
- Added documentation for `data_source_capabilities` in `data-sources.md`.
- Updated related unit tests and example logic.
- Linked new documentation in `README.md` and `DEVELOPMENT.md`.

+# Data Sources and Ingestion
+
+Open Cinema Index (OCI) uses a structured system to manage data ingestion from various external providers. This document explains the core components of the ingestion system: Data Sources, Capabilities, Refresh Policies, Rate Limits, and Runs.
+
+## Data Sources
+
+A `DataSource` represents an external entity that provides film-related data. Each source is uniquely identified by its name and has several configuration properties:
+
+- **name**: A unique identifier for the source (e.g., `tmdb`, `wikidata`).
+- **kind**: The protocol used to communicate with the source (`rest`, `graphql`, `file`).
+- **base_url**: The root URL for API requests.
+- **user_agent**: A custom User-Agent string to be used for requests to this source.
+- **enabled**: A boolean flag to quickly enable or disable a source without deleting its configuration.
+
+Data sources also track their execution history via `last_run_started_at`, `last_run_completed_at`, and `last_error`.
+
+## Capabilities
+
+`DataSourceCapability` defines what kind of data a specific `DataSource` is able to provide and how to access it. This allows the OCI pipeline to intelligently route requests to the most appropriate sources and construct correct URLs.
+
+Properties:
+- **capability**: The identifier for the type of data (e.g., `films`, `people`, `assets`, `updates`).
+- **endpoint_path**: A relative path or query template that is appended to the `base_url` to fetch the data.
+- **payload_mapping**: A JSON-defined mapping that tells OCI how to translate the external response into its canonical schema.
+
+Example paths:
+- `/movie/{id}` for TMDB films.
+- `?query={query}` for Wikidata SPARQL.
+
+### Response Mapping
+
+The `payload_mapping` field allows OCI to handle "unknown" sources by defining how to extract data from their responses. It typically maps JSON paths or keys from the source to OCI fields.
+
+Example mapping for a `films` capability:
+```json
+{
+  "title": "original_title",
+  "runtime_minutes": "runtime",
+  "original_language": "iso_639_1"
+}
+```
+
+This mapping is used during the `normalize` phase of the ingestion pipeline.
+
+Common capabilities include:
+- `films`: Can provide basic film metadata.
+- `people`: Can provide data about cast and crew.
+- `assets`: Can provide URLs for posters, backdrops, etc.
+- `updates`: Can provide a stream of recently changed records.
+
+## Refresh Policies
+
+The `DataSourceRefreshPolicy` determines how often data from a source should be updated and how to handle incremental fetches.
+
+- **default_refresh_interval_minutes**: The standard time to wait before re-fetching a record from this source.
+- **max_record_age_days**: The maximum age a record can reach before it is considered stale, regardless of the refresh interval.
+- **incremental_cursor_field**: The field used to track progress during incremental ingestion (e.g., a timestamp or an ID).
+- **supports_webhook**: Indicates if the source can push updates to OCI via webhooks.
+
+## Rate Limits
+
+To be a good citizen of the web and avoid being blocked, OCI strictly adheres to rate limits defined in `DataSourceRateLimit`.
+
+- **window_seconds**: The duration of the rate limit window (e.g., 60 seconds for a "per minute" limit).
+- **max_calls**: The maximum number of requests allowed within the window.
+- **burst**: The number of requests allowed in a single burst, even if it exceeds the average rate momentarily.
+- **retry_delay_seconds**: How long to wait before retrying if a rate limit is hit.
+
+Multiple rate limits can be applied to a single source (e.g., 40 requests per 10 seconds AND 10,000 requests per day).
+
+## Runs
+
+A `DataSourceRun` represents a single execution of the ingestion process for a specific source. It provides observability and audit trails for data ingestion.
+
+- **started_at** / **completed_at**: Timestamps for the duration of the run.
+- **status**: The outcome of the run (`started`, `success`, `failed`).
+- **error**: If the run failed, the error message or stack trace.
+- **items_fetched**: Total number of records retrieved from the source.
+- **items_processed**: Total number of records successfully integrated into OCI.
+
+The `duration` of a run is calculated as the difference between `completed_at` and `started_at`.
