Resolve the CURRENT-STATE.md layer table by keeping main's realigned
table and adding this layer's row. Main added an Arabic locale, so
translate the 12 layer strings and list ar.json in the drone-airspace

## Utilities panel — October 29, 2026
UTILITIES is its own left-side panel, between Data Layers and Scenes, with
its own rail item (`handyman`). It is a `RailPanel` (`#utilities-panel`) in
`src/ui/views/LayerPanelsView.vue` and holds the Directions layer row, which
`LayerPanel` renders into `#utilities-toggles` instead of the Data Layers
list, then Draw (`DrawControls.vue`) and Import (`GeoImport.vue`), which left
DISPLAY with their ids unchanged. Without `#utilities-toggles` (a host that
omits the panel) Directions stays in Data Layers under its Utilities heading.
Radio, formerly the other row under that heading, stays in Data Layers under
"Audio". Like the other side panels it follows the one-open-panel rule,
remembers its state, and is not part of share links. It hides in clean view
and recording. In Cockpit it stays with Directions alone, as Data Layers does;
Draw and Import hide there, as DISPLAY always did, and opening Utilities folds
the Cockpit context rail away as Data Layers does (and Contact expanding
closes it). Voice `show_data_layers_menu` for Directions opens Utilities, the
panel that holds its row, and `set_panel_open` reaches it as
`utilities-panel` or by "utilities", "draw", "drawing" or "import". On a phone
it sits collapsed in the Layers sheet under Data Layers.

## Panel rails
On desktop each side stack has a floating icon rail (`src/ui/panelNavigation.js`,
rendered by the Vue `PanelRailView` and the kit's `UiRail`) in the screen-edge
gutter beside it. The rail lists every panel the side currently offers, in stack
order: Data Layers and Authoring on the left; Display, CCTV, Weather and Recent
Imagery (while shown), Street Level and Context on the right. Selecting an item
opens its panel through `setPanelCollapsed(id, false, {explicit: true})`;
selecting the open panel's item closes it. The item of the open panel is
pressed (`aria-pressed`), and its tooltip is suppressed while the panel is open.
While no panel on its side is open, the rail shows each item as a labelled pill
(icon and title, `UiRail`'s `collapsible`); opening a panel folds the labels away
to the icon rail. The rail is placed by its screen-side edge, so the pills grow
toward the middle of the screen, over the closed side's empty corridor.
One panel is open per desktop side, in every HUD layout. Opening a side panel
by any route (rail, header, keyboard, voice) collapses its peers; restored or
shared state that opens several is normalized by the layout pass, which keeps
the most recently opened panel, then the one holding keyboard focus, then the
first, and marks the others `accordion-collapsed` (presentation only, so share
links still report the saved preference). Collapsed panels are hidden
(`layout-exclusive`) because the rail lists them. The rail lives inside its
stack, so it hides with it in Cockpit (where Authoring's item is also hidden),
recording and clean view. The panel store (`src/ui/stores/panels.js`) mirrors
each side's panels from the DOM; `PanelChrome` remains the disclosure owner.

Verified: ISS holds <1km perpendicular to its ring while tracked. Pass prediction (`src/data/satellitePass.js`; `getNextSatellitePass`, `getNextIssPass`) scans at 20s, bisects rise/set to ~0.2s, fits the peak with a parabola, and marks a pass visible when the satellite is outside a cylindrical Earth shadow while the observer's Sun is at or below −6°. `next_iss_pass` preserves its geometric-pass ordering and appends visibility metadata.

- **Space Missions (30d)**: recent launches render as bounded shared-host, horizon-occluded mission markers using Launch Library 2 v2.3 detailed records. Enabling the layer selects the unified right-side Context panel's Space Missions mode and enables the required satellite layer. Before applying its temporary dense/hidden Satellite mode, Space Missions snapshots the complete standalone Satellite parameter set and exact enabled-layer set. Disabling Space Missions from either Context or the left Data Layers rail restores those parameters and the exact prior enabled state, so a Satellite layer that was already on stays on while a mode-owned dependency returns off; enabling Satellites by itself remains independent. Selecting a mission isolates its launch-to-orbit transfer and dashed satellite orbit, fills that same panel with navigation/details, and animates a small phase-colored marker along the exact displayed Cartesian samples. Marker hit testing drill-picks through photorealistic tiles so the depth-test-free tactical dot remains reliably selectable; its text is non-interactive shared-host presentation. The selected pad is the camera's zoom pivot: the overview remains centered on its launch site, wheel zoom approaches that site instead of drifting elsewhere, and camera pitch progressively changes from global nadir to an oblique close 3D view. Its protected shared-host callout remains visible and expands to include both mission and launch-site names. `FOCUS` flies directly to a 12 km oblique frame around the selected launch site and retains the same anchored zoom/orbit behavior. `REPLAY ASCENT` resets the selected marker at the pad, frames it from an oblique third-person angle, and follows it through the mission-specific compressed ascent directly into one orbital lap at the default `1×` rate. A live `0.25×`–`4×` slider changes ascent and orbit playback speed; adjusting it mid-replay preserves the current path position and historical mission timestamp. Re-entry/recovery cannot be inserted into replay. At orbit insertion the camera smoothly pulls back over the first fifth of the orbital replay and pitches to a globe-scale nadir view while continuing to target the moving replay point. Replay Cancel, mission navigation, deselection, layer disable, and data refresh all release camera ownership. Reconstructed paths are one continuous 128-sample geodetic curve: horizontal departure begins near zero while altitude rises quickly, then the climb progressively bends toward insertion without the former hard 120 km corner. Unmatched orbit fallbacks are smooth planar inclined rings rather than longitude/latitude ground-track curves. The panel lists disclosed payload names, types, operators/manufacturers, mass, multiplicity, and destination when supplied; an empty LL2 payload collection is shown as `CLASSIFIED / MULTI-PAYLOAD`. Launcher, spacecraft, and recoverable payload stages appear in a compact stage table with serial/flight/reuse details, recovery outcome/type, destination, and final coordinates when those records exist; an empty recovery collection omits the section. Stage recoveries with confirmed coordinates use those coordinates; return-to-launch-site records use the pad; downrange-only records receive an explicitly labeled estimated endpoint along the ascent azimuth. Available endpoints render as static 2 px dashed descent/recovery paths with a fixed final-position dot and an estimated atmospheric-interface segment when applicable. The ascent is geodetically densified above the ellipsoid toward the orbit's nearest insertion point, then rendered with `ArcType.NONE`, so it neither cuts through Earth nor separates from the marker. Because LL2 does not normally supply continuous ascent telemetry, pad-to-insertion paths without upstream trajectory samples are labeled `RECONSTRUCTED ESTIMATE` / `ASCENT ESTIMATE`; only supplied trajectory samples receive the replay wording. Selected-orbit framing fits the complete ring, rear-side linework uses normal scene depth occlusion, and current distance, speed, and callout data come only from a launch-year-validated satellite match. Speed is the magnitude of the SGP4 inertial velocity vector at the same propagation epoch as position, displayed in km/s with km/h available as hover detail. Unavailable operator, site, launch-time, orbit, current-altitude, and speed values omit their detail rows instead of reserving panel space with placeholders. Newly launched payloads absent from the core operational groups use CelesTrak's cached active TLE feed as a lookup-only fallback; weak constellation-name matches are rejected. The replay callout maps compressed animation progress onto Launch Library's mission-relative timeline, showing the historical UTC date/time at the marker's current path position; unavailable timelines remain explicit. Matched live satellite positions propagate at one-second cadence and use a distinct green dot/callout with the current UTC date/time.

When no mission is selected, the Context panel presents a scrollable newest-first roster of every launch in the rolling window, including the smaller 5 px operator-colored marker, provider, and launch date. Hovering or keyboard-focusing a row shows four compact cyan corner brackets on both that roster row and its corresponding globe dot, rotates the globe at the current zoom to center it, and gives its label declutter priority without selecting it; the globe label remains unbracketed. Selecting a roster row invokes the same mission isolation and full-orbit framing as clicking its globe marker. The replay vehicle is one screen-space SVG/CSS HUD overlay rather than separate Cesium billboard, label, and reticle graphics. It is hidden during ordinary Focus and manual close views, where the standard selected launch-site label remains visible, and exists only while ascent replay is active. Its fixed pixel scale is shared by ascent and insertion, so camera range never resizes the rocket on screen before the phase boundary. Generic Launch Library pad names are reduced to their identifying suffix, and replay timestamps use a cyan state title over unprefixed white UTC date/time values. `REPLAY ASCENT` holds the unframed cyan/white rocket at the pad for a real-time `T−10` countdown, transitions through `LIFTOFF`, and attaches six tapered cyan/white ellipse waves directly below it from liftoff through insertion to convey thrust without adding scene geometry. While replay is active, the single start button is replaced by compact Play, Pause, and Cancel icon controls. Pause freezes countdown or mission time, vehicle/stage positions, camera target, labels, and thrust-wave animation; Play resumes from that exact frame, and Cancel releases replay camera ownership. The rocket and thrust group rotates from the path's live screen-space tangent, so its nose follows the visible ascent curve while the adjacent text remains upright. The camera begins as a close oblique launch chase, then smoothly widens between roughly 120 and 420 km vehicle altitude into a higher oblique context view that keeps the moving rocket targeted while exposing the ascent bend and orbit connection. At insertion the rocket/thrust glyph is replaced by the fixed-size cyan orbit dot, which the camera follows through the existing globe-scale orbit pullback. The chase camera limits per-frame yaw changes across heading wraps so it cannot abruptly cross in front of the vehicle and make ascent read in reverse; the replay-speed slider affects mission playback but not countdown duration.
Mission world text has no native `LabelGraphics`: overview launch markers publish at most 48 ambient candidates for a 24-winner budget, while selecting a mission clears that overview source and publishes its launch-site callout, stage re-entry annotations, live/estimated payload-position readout, and orbit annotation as protected selected-lane entries. The source retains the exact former strings and colors. Static anchors reuse the Cartesian values used to build their mission geometry; the moving payload entry reads the layer's per-frame live-position cache; catalog-backed orbit annotation positions are cached in the same one-second matrix update that realigns the orbit primitive. Keyhole edge fade, horizon culling, final collision placement, and UI exclusion are owned by the shared host. Deselect restores the bounded overview, and refresh, disable, and destroy replace or clear both mission sources.
A selected mission renders its orbit as four repeating tactical sectors, each containing one prominent cyan dot followed by one hundred thin translucent dashes. The bright dots act as orbit anchors while the subdued dash field remains depth-tested against the globe and is shown only for the selected mission.

The flights and military context records wrap the track after rounding to whole degrees, so a contact on 359.5° or more reads `0°` rather than `360°`.
- **Context-mode vocabulary is symmetric** (2026-08-21). `set_context_mode` accepts `contacts`; the internal id is `flights`. Every model-readable field (`mode`, `entering`, `priorMode`, nested `context`/`contextRollback`, and the transition diagnostic text) is reported in the accepted vocabulary, with the internal id preserved as `<field>Internal`; an absent secondary mode stays `null` rather than claiming to be `off`. Mapping lives in `src/contextModePolicy.js` so UI text and voice payloads cannot drift. Reporting the internal id made the model read `mode:'flights'` as "Contacts is off" and refuse to answer from the `contactsWindow` counts in the same payload.
- **Analyst → track handoff carries a key, not just a label** (2026-08-21). `analyst_query` items include `icao24`/`mmsi` alongside the display `id`, and contact lookup uses the shared tiered ranking in `src/data/contactMatch.js`: hex exact → callsign exact → registration exact → callsign prefix → registration prefix → callsign substring → registration substring. The tiers keep an exact callsign ahead of a colliding registration regardless of feed order, and registrations compare separator-insensitively (`G-ABCD`/`GABCD`, `05-8152`/`058152`, `N123AB`/`N-123AB`).
- **A typed command supersedes the turn it interrupts** (2026-08-21; hardened 2026-10-17). `sendTextCommand` defers its `response.create` behind an active response instead of colliding with it, marks that response superseded so a late function call from it is refused rather than dispatched, and drops the old turn's queued follow-up. A refused call is still ANSWERED — a terminal `{ok:false, superseded:true}` `function_call_output` — because an unanswered `function_call` strands a pending call and deadlocks the model; the refusal creates no response of its own. A burst of typed commands coalesces into one response while keeping both conversation items. If the local channel rejects the user item, that command requests no response and adds no deferred answer; earlier accepted deferred input remains queued. Interruption and pointer preparation still happen before the send attempt.

most one request per second shared with the cockpit's reverse lookups, answers
cached for five minutes, one upstream call shared between identical searches
over Nominatim as a last resort when neither answers and an operator explicitly
configures `NOMINATIM_URL`. Unset, empty and invalid values disable Nominatim.
`GET /api/geocode/status` answers `{configured}`; the browser asks once per
page, and when Nominatim is not configured neither the last-resort search nor
the voice outline client asks `/api/geocode`, so a default install sends no
lookup it would refuse. A missing or failed probe leaves the capability unknown
and lookups proceed as before.
Explicit public-service configuration retains an identifying `User-Agent` and `Referer`, at
least 1.1 seconds between public search and outline starts, a shared durable
per-install daily allowance and pause state that fail closed when unusable.
The shared state lock covers actual fetch invocation and recording the next
start. An unfinished dispatch marker (`state.json.dispatch.since-<ms>.*`, left
by a crash or a persistence failure) disables further public requests for ten
minutes after the start it names, far beyond any request's 9-second timeout.
A marker exists only inside the lock, so the next lock owner after that window
removes it and restarts spacing from its own clock; the count was persisted
before the interrupted invocation. A marker naming no start keeps refusing
until removed by hand. These controls do not establish an application-wide
public-service allowance or authorize its use. For manual recovery, stop every
process sharing the state file before removing only a confirmed orphan marker,
and preserve the state file's count, pause and next start.

Google Geocode/Places supplies a centroid and scope; route requests use `/api/route`; ambiguous or distant results are rejected or recovered near the current view instead of drawing misleading blobs. Outline resolution keeps this order: bundled admin/place/neighborhood/Natural Earth geometry; OpenFreeMap street or pointed-building geometry where applicable; the configured OSM/Overpass admin/place/footprint/street/enclosing-area ladder; guarded Nominatim for eligible named cities, admin units, landmarks, buildings and grounds; then an OpenFreeMap building fallback that accepts a named building only when its resolved anchor lies in the selected filled footprint. Pointed-at building requests retain nearby selection within 40 m. Tile building and grounds answers also need the tile holding the anchor: when that tile fails to load and only neighbours arrive, no neighbouring building or area stands in. Tile grounds answer a named grounds ask only from an area of the same name, or, when the ask's head noun names a kind of grounds (school, university/college, hospital, cemetery, stadium, zoo; "campus" alone names none), from the part of the smallest unnamed area of that class that holds the anchor (a class word elsewhere in a name, as in "University Avenue Park", does not count); a differently named area never answers. If no rung can supply honest geometry, the mark remains a point or reports the capability unavailable. A real polygon, definitive miss, configured-ladder approximation, rate limit or transient result keeps its existing finality; Nominatim is only tried after higher-priority configured sources cannot answer. Building tile selection returns the selected component and its holes; a shared vector feature ID does not establish that unrelated components are one building. Other trusted multi-part outlines and holes are retained in `anno.polygons`, with `ring` anchored to the part whose filled area contains the resolved point, outside its holes, when possible. Guarded Nominatim keeps every accepted result for an ask, ranks an exact name first, then a name holding every asked word, then a partial match; a partial landmark match whose name lacks the ask's last word is refused unless that word appears in the result's address or type (the place around a feature, such as a park around its zoo, is not the feature, while "Space Needle Seattle" still finds the Space Needle). A building word ("Burj Khalifa Tower") also passes on a single-structure result (one a building ask would accept), never on a campus, zoo or district. Each ask is answered with the cached result among the best-named ones whose filled area holds the resolved anchor (read across the antimeridian), else the first; a worse name never wins by containment alone. Nominatim name checks use the bundled packs' place-name key, so "St. Paul" and "Saint Paul" agree there. A street ribbon that holds neither its ring mean nor the anchor is centred on the street's nearest point to the anchor when the street runs within 100 m of it. In tile street names a lone letter is a direction only beside another name word ("N Lamar Blvd"), so "E Street" is not "East Street", and a quadrant ("E St NW", "SE Main St") may go unsaid in the ask, which then takes only the quadrant of the matching street nearest the point. A building or area cut at the tile edge is not complete (past a tile buffer any vertex on the cut line marks it; on an unbuffered edge, an edge running along the boundary does, not a corner that merely touches it): a cut building nearer the point than any whole one leaves the point, and a cut area does not answer grounds. Missing capability never invents a radius outline.

### Manual Whiteboard Drawing (September 2026)
- DISPLAY ▸ **Draw** turns the globe into a whiteboard drawn by hand. Pick a shape (Area, Line, Pin), click the vertices on the real world, type an optional label and pick a colour, and finish. **Keyboard contract, live only while Draw is on and never while you are typing in another field:** Enter finishes the shape (as does a double-click, and the two cannot both submit it — the session is replaced before the annotate call is awaited); Backspace removes the last vertex; Esc cancels the shape in progress, and a second Esc — Esc on an empty session — leaves draw mode. Typing in the label field keeps Backspace; Enter there also finishes. **Clear** wipes the board (the shape in progress and every placed mark), so removing marks does not require the console or the microphone.
- Runtime entry: `createApplicationTools` (`src/app/tools.js`, behind the `src/standalone/tools.js` shim) calls `initDrawTool({ viewer, annotations })` after `initAnnotations` and defers its `destroy()`, so disposing the shell returns every DOM listener, the Cesium handler, the preview data source, the borrowed click actions and the `window.__gevDrawTool` handle. Its markup is a DISPLAY-rail component template (`src/ui/templates/display-controls.html`), assembled into `index.html` at build time. That handle (`setActive`, `setShape`, `addVertex(lon, lat)`, `finish`, `cancel`, `clearAll`, `diagnostics`) is the no-mouse test seam.
- Contract: a finished shape is submitted through the SAME `annotationEngine.annotate()` the voice agent uses, with geometry supplied and `manual: true` (`type: area` + `ring`, `type: route` + `path`, `type: pin` + coordinates). `resolveSpec` short-circuits manual specs (`resolveManualSpec`) so no geocoder, Places or Overpass call is made. A drawn area is a real (not synthesized) outline and drapes solid; a drawn line is a `route` with `mode: 'manual'`, labelled with its length and never a travel time; a pin is a point. Drawn marks therefore render with the whiteboard look, persist, de-dup, appear in `.list()`, and clear with `clear_annotations` / `.clear()`.
- UTILITIES ▸ **Draw** turns the globe into a whiteboard drawn by hand. Pick a shape (icon buttons for Area, Line and Pin) and a colour swatch for the next shape, click the vertices on the real world, and finish. **Keyboard contract, live only while Draw is on and never while you are typing in another field:** Enter finishes the shape (as does a double-click, and the two cannot both submit it — the session is replaced before the annotate call is awaited); Backspace removes the last vertex; Esc cancels the shape in progress, and a second Esc — Esc on an empty session — leaves draw mode. **Clear** wipes the board (the shape in progress and every placed mark), so removing marks does not require the console or the microphone.
- **Drawn shapes are listed under Draw like Import's files** (`src/ui/views/panels/DrawMarkList.vue`, rows worded by `presentDrawMarks` in `src/annotations/drawMarks.js`): one row per hand-drawn mark (`manual: true`; voice marks are not listed) with its colour swatch, its name, and show/hide, fly-to and remove. The draw tool publishes the rows with the rest of its controls and answers the row actions (`renameDrawMark`, `recolorDrawMark`, `toggleDrawMark`, `flyToDrawMark`, `removeDrawMark`) through the display store; it republishes on the engine's `onChange`, so a voice clear or an expiry updates the list. Rows are keyed and updated in place: a board change never takes a name being typed (the field keeps its draft while focused) or the button under a click. The name is saved on Enter or on leaving the field, once; Esc restores it, before anything else and with the row's colours open too. Both keep focus in the field, so neither drops it to the page or leaves Draw. The swatch opens the five colours right after it (shown at the end of the row), with the current colour focused; the arrows, Home and End try another, and a click or Esc closes them and returns focus to the swatch. Both colour groups (the next shape's and a row's) are one `DrawSwatches` radio group with a single tab stop, coloured from `DRAW_COLOR_CSS`; on touch screens each dot answers a 24 px target. An unnamed shape shows its kind, and an unnamed line its length; a renamed line keeps its length (`Ridge walk — 950 m`). **Hidden** keeps a mark on the board at alpha 0, and the world renderer takes every one of its entities out (`show = false`), so no material that keeps its own colour (the line's flowing stroke) still paints it; the screen renderer does not project a hidden callout, so it cannot push a visible label aside; `fly_route` skips a hidden route; and with every mark hidden the annotations render hold is released. **Fly to** is an immediate navigation (`runImmediateNavigation('drawing', …)`), like Import's: Cockpit refuses it and a running orbit, follow or track lets go first. A line is framed by its whole path, across the antimeridian too.
- Runtime entry: `createApplicationTools` (`src/app/tools.js`, behind the `src/standalone/tools.js` shim) calls `initDrawTool({ viewer, annotations, navigation, publish, connect })` after `initAnnotations` and defers its `destroy()`, so disposing the shell returns every DOM listener, the Cesium handler, the preview data source, the borrowed click actions and the `window.__gevDrawTool` handle. Its controls are Vue views in the UTILITIES panel (`DrawControls.vue`, `DrawMarkList.vue`) that render what the tool publishes to the display store and call its actions. That handle (`setActive`, `setShape`, `addVertex(lon, lat)`, `finish`, `cancel`, `clearAll`, `marks`, `setColor`, `diagnostics`) is the no-mouse test seam.
- Contract: a finished shape is submitted through the SAME `annotationEngine.annotate()` the voice agent uses, with geometry supplied and `manual: true` (`type: area` + `ring`, `type: route` + `path`, `type: pin` + coordinates). `resolveSpec` short-circuits manual specs (`resolveManualSpec`) so no geocoder, Places or Overpass call is made. A drawn area is a real (not synthesized) outline and drapes solid; a drawn line is a `route` with `mode: 'manual'`, labelled with its length and never a travel time; a pin is a point. Drawn marks therefore render with the whiteboard look, persist, appear in `.list()`, and clear with `clear_annotations` / `.clear()`. A drawn shape is never merged with another as a duplicate: every one is drawn on purpose, and every one is unnamed until its row names it, so two pins dropped close together are two pins.
- **A vertex is a lon/lat, and the mark is DRAPED.** Clicks are picked through `pickWorldFromScreen` — one of two scene helpers the annotation resolver factory (`src/annotations/resolver.js`) exposes alongside `sampleGroundHeight`, so the app has ONE depth-aware pick cascade rather than a second written beside it — which returns the height the pick landed on as well as the coordinate, so the live preview hangs on the roof or hillside under the pointer instead of sinking to sea level. The world renderer draws areas and routes with `clampToGround`, so the height is dropped at finish in one place (`finishSpec`) rather than being carried downstream and discarded silently: what you get is the outline you drew, lying on the surface beneath it.
- **Draped marks classify onto `ClassificationType.BOTH`** — terrain AND 3D tiles — not onto 3D tiles alone. With only `CESIUM_3D_TILE`, every area fill, area outline, route and arrow rendered to nothing on a keyless boot, where Cesium's own globe carries Esri/OSM imagery and there are no tiles to classify against; the labels appeared and the geometry did not. That hit spoken annotations exactly as hard as hand-drawn ones. `scripts/qa-draw-tool.mjs` counts the mark's own colour in the rendered frame before and after a shape is finished, on a keyed AND a keyless server, so "the board says there is a mark" can no longer pass for "the mark is on screen".
- **A finished area is a CLOSED ring.** The fill polygon closes itself but the outline beside it is a polyline, so an open ring drew every edge except the one back to the first vertex — a triangle with two sides. `finishSpec` repeats the first position at the end. A line is never closed: joining its ends would invent a segment nobody drew.
- Drawn-line distance labels select metres or kilometres after rounding to the nearest metre, so a 999.5-metre line displays as `1.0 km` rather than `1000 m`.
- Drawn-line distance labels select metres or kilometres after rounding to the nearest metre, so a 999.5-metre line displays as `1.0 km` rather than `1000 m`, and drop the kilometre decimal from 9.95 km. The placed mark's label (shared with spoken routes and arrows) rounds before each unit cut, so a 996-metre line is labelled `1.0 km`, not `1000 m`, and a 9,960-metre one `10 km`, not `10.0 km`.
- **Measurements and centres are computed on unwrapped longitudes** (`unwrapLongitudes` / `wrapLongitude` in `drawMode.js`, used by `ringAreaM2`, `ringCentroid` and the engine's manual-area anchor). A ~50,000 m² rectangle straddling the antimeridian reads its 0.002° width as 359.998° under raw arithmetic: it measured thousands of square kilometres and anchored on the Greenwich meridian, half a world from the shape. Path length was already safe — haversine is periodic in the longitude delta — and a test pins that so a "fix" cannot break it.
- **Bounds.** One shape holds at most `MAX_VERTICES` = 512 points; two clicks within 0.5 m are one vertex (that is what makes a double-click finish without leaving a stray point); a vertex that is not a finite on-globe coordinate is refused. A shape that encloses nothing is refused rather than placed: three collinear points are not an area and a line under a metre long is not a line, and the hint says which.
- Drawn-area measures round before choosing m², ha or km², so 9,999.6 m² displays as `1.0 ha`, not `10000 m²`, and 999,960 m² as `1.00 km²`, not `100.0 ha`.
- Pointer ownership: while a session is open the tool holds the single pointer claim (`claimPointer('draw')`, `src/data/inputOwnership.js`) and **every** ambient scene selection handler — the shared tracking click gesture behind flights, military and CCTV, plus vessels, satellites, launches, fires, installations, bikeshare, radio, submarine cables, the bundled GeoJSON layers and the CCTV calibration gizmo — returns before picking. A vertex over an aircraft is a vertex, not a selection.
- **The claim is a LEASE.** `claimPointer(owner)` returns an opaque token or `null`; `releasePointer(lease)` takes that token. A second claim fails even under the same owner name, because two live instances of one tool — an old one mid-teardown and its replacement — are two owners; releasing by name let the old instance free the claim its successor was holding, and every layer started selecting through the live session's vertices. A superseded lease now releases nothing.
- **Cesium's own click actions are borrowed too.** The Viewer binds a selecting LEFT_CLICK and a tracking LEFT_DOUBLE_CLICK on its own handler, outside every layer and therefore outside the shared claim — guarding the layers alone still left a drawn vertex selecting the entity under it. Both are removed for the session and restored, as the same function objects, when it ends or the tool is destroyed.
- **Enter belongs to whatever has the keyboard.** The finish key is taken only from the canvas, the page body and the tool's own label field. With a control focused — Clear, a shape button — Enter activates that control, as a keyboard user expects; it does not quietly finish the shape.

Rendered overlays can appear in map screenshots sent through voice or other existing screenshot tools.
- **Ground and height.** GeoJSON XYZ coordinates become ground footprints. KML ground lines/rings are tessellated; static recorded tracks preserve their original vertices, segment gaps and explicit altitude modes. KML with absolute/relative altitude keeps that meaning. Ground pins resolve in batches of 256 against loaded terrain and, in the nearby camera footprint on photoreal maps, `clampToHeightMostDetailed`, then draw in one owned native BillboardCollection per file, with static positions and no per-frame point Entity visualizer or clamping callbacks. Point metadata remains in `dataSource.importedEntities` for framing/style inspection; non-point geometry stays in the normal source collection. Pin collections mount only after source admission, follow file show/hide, and are destroyed on removal. Settled camera/map-source changes and completed terrain loads refresh visible files through the same serial queue; distant points retain their latest available height. No detailed worldwide terrain sweep is started. Nearby mesh sampling can add requests/time; configured photoreal providers require separate validation. The depth test is disabled for ground pins, matching Draw's marker visibility policy.
- **Navigation.** Row Fly-to uses `runImmediateNavigation('file', …)`; Cockpit can refuse it and existing follow/track ownership is released first. Automatic Fly-to is stamped when a batch is submitted and reasserted before flying. Pointer/wheel gestures and newer navigation supersede it, including time spent in the queue. Framing uses every finite visible point/path/polygon-hole/wall vertex plus rotated overlay bounds, with viewport-aware range and a nadir view. The target uses available terrain/cached ground height and the ground guard on arrival. Empty footprints never fall back to deferred `viewer.flyTo`.
- **Clock.** Imports expose no source clock and no entity availability. KML times/view metadata are removed before loading; recorded tracks become static lines. GPX segments remain separate and GPX times are ignored. The shared clock stays unchanged.

While the mode's first empty slot exists the focused day previews in it: a click at once, arrow keys after 250 ms of quiet (`FOCUS_DEBOUNCE_MS`, one timer, last day wins); an unprobed day is followed and previews when its probe says present, an empty or unknown day never drapes and the previous preview stays. A pin change drops the preview until focus moves again, and unpinning takes that layer off at once. `rankLatest` picks START HERE coverage first (a present HLS day whose footprints cover the box, or have none, beats a newer sliver), then newest with all granules ≤ 20% known cloud, then newest; slivers only as `partial`; else the newest non-empty VIIRS day; it is focused and previewed after each search when nothing is pinned. Escape clears the preview (`clearPreview()`), then cancels the box tool, then blurs — with SELECT BOX armed too, through the tool's `onEscape` interceptor wired in `createApplicationTools`. Pins, mode, box and split changes made in the panel are published with `adoptLayerParams`, never while a share link is being applied.

Layers are rebuilt on a new host, never re-parented. `MapSourceController.subscribe()` fires after every settled stack switch (silent switches and fallbacks included) and the layer rebinds on it. Tile requests pass a six-slot semaphore of our own (Cesium's global limits are untouched). Under `requestRenderMode` a deferred tile needs a later frame, but a deferral must never request one itself or a stalled tile keeps the scene rendering every frame: a request that finds the semaphore full asks for nothing (the settling request asks for one frame), and a tile Cesium itself deferred goes through one coalesced 250 ms retry. Thumbnails: three fetches at once, sixteen decoded images, least-recently-used where a `get` read is never a use; eviction keeps the probe result. The strip's visible window is probed around the focused card; the pinned and previewed days are probed wherever they sit, at the focused card's priority, so a pin restored or assigned off-screen still drapes.
- **Esri surface and the swipe.** While any image is on the map (a preview included) the layer holds the map lease (`acquireImageryComparison`, owner `recent-imagery`, `esri-if-photoreal`): on Google 3D the map switches to Esri, because 30 m pixels over 3D buildings do not read, and Cesium's split only works on the globe. The lease is handed back, and Google 3D restored unless the operator changed maps meanwhile, when the last image leaves the map or the layer is disabled; the notice line says so while it holds. While a day is shown the imagery keeps Esri: a manual switch that lands on Google 3D is answered at once with a new lease under the same policy (`keepEsri`), the notice reads `Imagery stays on Esri · CLEAR to use Google 3D`, and the divider never suspends because of a map switch. It re-leases once per switch generation and only for a manual one (`MapSourceController#getSwitchOrigin()` is `manual` for an outside `setStack`, `automatic` for the controller's own fallback or recovery), never for the lease's own switch and never while releasing, so CLEAR and disable still return to Google 3D; a lease another owner holds stays refused. When Esri fails and the controller falls back to Google 3D on its own, the layer lets the lease go without restoring anything, both days drape on the tileset without a swipe and the guidance reads `Esri map unavailable · no swipe`; only the next manual switch to Google 3D takes Esri again, so a failing Esri map is never retried in a loop. Switching between globe stacks (Esri, OSM, Bing) only rebinds. On a tileset host both images drape without a swipe. The split control (`createImagerySplit`, labels A / B, or IMAGE / BASEMAP) exists only while a swipe is live, recentres on every new comparison (not while scrubbing the second day), except once for a split restored from a link. There is no keyboard shortcut (Space is the app's push-to-talk): SWAP (`#ri-swap`, in the controls row, its slot reserved and the button disabled while no swipe is live) trades the two sides, A to the right and B to the left, or the image to the right of the basemap, and a second click restores; the hint reads `Drag the divider · SWAP trades sides`. The swap is not in the share link, and every new comparison starts unswapped. One opacity applies to both drapes. Another owner holding the lease is reported and the images still drape.

### Split-flap status chips (August 2026)
- The three status chips flip their LABELS over character by character when the text changes, like a departure board: `#global-loading-label` ("LOADING LIVE DATA" → "LOAD COMPLETE"), `#traffic-sync-label`, and `#cctv-sync-label` ("loading frames" → "camera grid ready"). All three route through `setSplitFlapText()` in `src/splitFlap.js`; there is no other writer of those three elements. The progress counters (`#*-sync-progress`, `#global-loading-detail`) are deliberately left as plain `textContent` — they tick several times a second, and flapping them reads as a slot machine.
- `#global-loading-label` doubles as the universal top-center status banner, so anything routed through `_showGlobalStatusNotice()` flaps as well — in particular the share-link restore notices, of which "Shared military flight could not be restored — feed unavailable" is the longest at 63 characters. That needs no special case: `planSplitFlap()` compresses the stagger to hold the 620 ms budget (26 ms → 6.9 ms per column at that length), every column is reserved for the whole cascade, and `element.textContent` is the complete notice at every instant, so the `aria-live` region announces the whole sentence rather than a fragment. A notice deferred minutes past boot is equally safe: `ensureHost()` re-validates the shell on every call, and the long-lived `Text` node is never replaced.
- **DOM text is the truth, and its node NEVER moves — do not "fix" this.** The first call upgrades a chip label into a permanent shell (`ensureHost`): a `.gev-flap-text` span holding one long-lived `Text` node, plus an `aria-hidden` `.gev-flap-cells` sibling. After that the ONLY text operation for the life of the chip is `node.data = next`. Nothing is reparented, so the label is never transiently empty and the `aria-live` region never sees a removal/reinsertion pair it could announce twice. `element.textContent` is the settled string at every instant, because the cells carry no text at all: both glyphs are CSS generated content (`::before` from `data-flap-prev` = outgoing, `::after` from `data-flap-next` = incoming), which never reaches `textContent`. This keeps QA pins honest and lets `_updateTrafficSyncChip`'s own `textContent !==` guard keep working. The shell is built on a tick where the text is NOT changing, so no real label change ever carries a structural mutation.
- **No animation loop, and exactly ONE `setTimeout` per change.** CSS `animation`/`transition` only, triggered once per text change and staggered through a per-cell `--gev-flap-delay`. The single timer is the settle that strips the cells; the width ease ends on a `transitionend`/`transitioncancel` listener, never a second timer. Idle cost is zero, there is no periodic work, and nothing requests a Cesium render or takes a render-governor hold. `setSplitFlapText` is a no-op on unchanged text, which is required — the chips are repainted by a 60 ms and a 500 ms ticker.
- The three status chips flip their LABELS over character by character when the text changes, like a departure board: `#global-loading-label` ("LOADING LIVE DATA" → "LOAD COMPLETE"), `#traffic-sync-label`, and `#cctv-sync-label` ("loading frames" → "camera grid ready"). ShellFeedback and CctvControls publish them to the `gev-status` store, and the scene chrome renders each label with `SplitFlapText.vue`, which plays the cascade `src/splitFlap.js` plans; there is no other writer of those three labels. When an owner is destroyed it publishes the label `stopped`, which rests it at once. The progress counters (`#*-sync-progress`, `#global-loading-detail`) are deliberately left as plain `textContent` — they tick several times a second, and flapping them reads as a slot machine.
- `#global-loading-label` doubles as the universal top-center status banner, so anything routed through `_showGlobalStatusNotice()` flaps as well — in particular the share-link restore notices, of which "Shared military flight could not be restored — feed unavailable" is the longest at 63 characters.

A notice deferred minutes past boot is equally safe: the long-lived `Text` node is never replaced.
- **DOM text is the truth, and its node NEVER moves — do not "fix" this.** The label is a `.gev-flap-text` span holding one long-lived `Text` node, plus an `aria-hidden` `.gev-flap-cells` sibling; the component's `v-flap-text` directive writes it, because Vue would patch a lone `{{ text }}` child by setting `textContent` and swap the node. The ONLY text operation for the life of the chip is `node.data = next`. Nothing is reparented, so the label is never transiently empty and the `aria-live` region never sees a removal/reinsertion pair it could announce twice. `element.textContent` is the settled string at every instant, because the cells carry no text at all: both glyphs are CSS generated content (`::before` from `data-flap-prev` = outgoing, `::after` from `data-flap-next` = incoming), which never reaches `textContent`. This keeps QA pins honest. Whether the label is on screen is read once the change has rendered, after its chip shows or hides with it; the cells go in before the browser paints.
- **No animation loop, and exactly ONE `setTimeout` per change.** CSS `animation`/`transition` only, triggered once per text change and staggered through a per-cell `--gev-flap-delay`. The single timer is the settle that strips the cells; the width ease ends on a `transitionend`/`transitioncancel` listener, never a second timer. Idle cost is zero, there is no periodic work, and nothing requests a Cesium render or takes a render-governor hold. An unchanged label is not republished, which is required — the chips are recomputed by a 60 ms and a 500 ms ticker.
- **Only what was visible flaps away.** An interrupted cascade (A→B cut short by C) derives each column's outgoing glyph from `visibleGlyphs()` — what that column is actually SHOWING at that instant, which for a column whose stagger has not elapsed is still A, not the pending B. `FLAP_TURN_RATIO` must track the `gev-flap-out`/`gev-flap-in` keyframe crossover in style.css.
- **Columns never renumber mid-cascade — do not "optimise" this away.** For the whole cascade the board keeps one column per index of the LONGER string, each holding its own width; a column the new string does not reach flaps to a BLANK in place (`data-flap-next=" "`) rather than collapsing. Collapsing stacks the absolutely-positioned outgoing glyphs on one x AND lets a later glyph slide into an earlier column, which makes `visibleGlyphs()` lie and the interrupt rule flap the wrong glyph away. Pinned by "a cleared column holds its place instead of letting later glyphs slide left".
- Length changes are eased, never snapped, and the ease is placed so it never fights the flaps (`.gev-flap-sizing`): a GROWING label reserves its columns as the cells go in and eases at the START; a SHRINKING one holds full width for the whole cascade and eases at SETTLEMENT.

- The desktop right rail (`#right-context-rail`) owns `DISPLAY`, `CCTV`, its active parameter controls, and `GLOBAL CONTEXT` as one fixed responsive stack in that order. Its compact buttons use the same 176 px width as the left accordion and one consistent 50 px height, share the left stack's 52 px edge inset and measured top baseline across HUD variants, then constrain themselves against visible HUD/chrome rectangles and the remaining vertical corridor. `DISPLAY` is no longer draggable and legacy saved coordinates are ignored.
- The right rail is labeled **DISPLAY** (formerly "MOVE") and groups, in order, HUD, DETECT, Bloom, Sharpen, 3D, Clean-UI (HUD + DETECT promoted to the top). Its expanded controls retain the same compact 176 px width as the right-side tabs instead of growing to the wider Context detail-card width.

- Display and Context use matching 330 px expanded widths and matching compact tab dimensions. The parameter panel is part of Display's expanded content. DISPLAY may remain open beside one contextual panel; CCTV and Context are mutually exclusive. In Tactical HUD, expanding CCTV or Context hides the other contextual launcher while DISPLAY remains independently available. The most recently opened right-rail panel owns the constrained lane even when it appears later in DOM order; passive restoration and automatic disclosure do not replace that explicit owner. Minimal and other HUD layouts retain the collapsed launchers; when their active panel exceeds the measured corridor, the rail reserves sibling heights and gaps and scrolls the active panel internally.
- Display and Context use matching 330 px expanded widths and matching compact tab dimensions. The parameter panel is part of Display's expanded content.

- **Cockpit camera anchor:** first-person mode does not write feed-boundary corrections directly into the camera. A cockpit-only inertial anchor advances from the selected aircraft's displayed course and speed, then converges toward the authoritative delayed track with correction capped below forward motion. The displayed kinematics are derived from the same consecutive fix segment as the rendered position, with raw feed speed/course used only as fallback; a transient zero/missing feed speed therefore cannot freeze a visibly moving aircraft after layer enable or a map/cockpit handoff. Rendered altitude continues to come from that interpolated track position. Late ADS-B fixes and short render stalls can remove drift without accelerating or reversing the view. Camera placement runs before scene update/culling at a bounded 20 Hz so a moving cockpit does not force Photoreal 3D Tiles to retraverse on every display frame; textual instruments update at 10 Hz and context/layout work at 4 Hz. Every far Cockpit contact pip shares one stable Cesium texture-atlas entry and skips unused screen-projected course calculations, while only in-range 2D aircraft silhouettes pay the screen-projected rotation cost; ambient glTF collections are hidden/retained rather than synchronously destroyed at cockpit entry, and context rails lay out only on explicit content/state changes and viewport resize. The deliberate 15/30-second layer interpolation delays and per-Cesium-frame position caches remain unchanged.
- **Cockpit route, vision, and view controls:** visible on-screen `COCKPIT`, `RESET`, and `EXIT COCKPIT` controls replace reliance on the `C` shortcut. RESET uses the same canonical globe route as the map and voice actions, exits Cockpit, and releases its camera ownership rather than exposing the hidden map-style top action. When the tracked commercial flight has a plausible ADSBDB route, the top of the right briefing rail shows a compact `FROM → TO` airport strip and the visor shows a centered estimated-destination chevron with its relative bearing; its destination label rounds to whole degrees in 000–359, wrapping rounded north to 000° while the chevron continues to use the relative bearing independently of label rounding; absent or implausible route data hides the strip and cue rather than guessing. The cockpit-local vision control is an interactive `PREV / CURRENT / NEXT` carousel over `NORMAL`, `CRT`, `NVG`, `FLIR`, `ANIME`, and `NOIR`; its previous/next actions wrap, and activating the current value advances to the next style. Cockpit enters on the active map preset, so a Cyber FLIR map opens Cockpit on FLIR while Normal remains a distinct option instead of producing a second FLIR entry. Cockpit choices temporarily activate the existing Cesium post-process stages, while exiting Cockpit through either EXIT or RESET restores the pre-entry map style. The regional-news page uses a free Google News RSS locality query first, with the existing GDELT query retained only as a fail-soft fallback; linked headlines remain reporting, not verified incidents or risk intelligence.
- Cockpit wind-direction labels wrap after rounding to whole degrees, so a direction of 359.5° displays as `N · 0°` rather than `N · 360°`.
- The transit, ALPR, vessel, CCTV, Local ADS-B, flight and military context, awareness, Cockpit and Street Level heading readouts round through `roundHeadingDegrees` in `src/data/headingDegrees.js` (whole degrees 0–359, `null` when not finite, so each caller keeps its own placeholder); `normalizeHeading` lives there too and `cockpitMath.js` re-exports it. The Cockpit's `TRACK ACQUIRED` signal uses `formatHeadingReadout`, so a 359.6° track reads `COURSE 000°`.
- **Cockpit missing observations:** missing local weather observations remain unknown rather than being converted to zero or clear skies, in the briefing and in the cloud effects; a missing temperature drops the whole local weather record, including its wind and condition.
- **Cockpit weather status:** the earlier multi-canvas atmospheric compositor remains fail-closed and is not attached to the live viewer. Cockpit clouds are a separate transparent WebGL pass with a capped 520×320 framebuffer, 24 ray steps, three FBM octaves, and a 12 FPS ceiling. It defaults off and starts only when local storage explicitly contains the persisted `WX ON` opt-in (`'1'`). When opted in, observations refresh after five minutes or 25 km of aircraft movement, fail transparent when unavailable or clear, and stop on exit or disable. `WX OFF` governs atmospheric rendering only: the briefing still fetches source-backed Natural Earth region, headline, and Open-Meteo local-information data, aborting and replacing any in-flight request when the selected aircraft changes. No weather effect runs in map mode and no synthetic fallback is shown.
- **Cockpit trail visibility:** entering cockpit hides the selected aircraft's trail body and head so they cannot cross the first-person view; exit restores them. This cockpit-only presentation change does not alter the normal map-mode invariant that aircraft trails render through terrain using their depth-fail material.
