Manager-owned periodic network updates pause while the document is hidden.

## Shipwrecks — EMODnet and Wikidata
The Events group includes **Shipwrecks** (`shipwrecks`, share-link token `01`),
off by default. `/api/shipwrecks` downloads EMODnet Human Activities'
`emodnet:heritageshipwrecks` WFS layer (about 7,000 wrecks in European waters
compiled from SHOM, Ireland's National Monuments Service, Historic England and
the Oxford Roman Economy Project; CC BY 4.0) and a Wikidata SPARQL query for
shipwreck items with a coordinate and at least one Wikipedia article (about
1,450 worldwide; CC0). A source that answered well is asked again after 24 hours;
one that failed is asked again after 15 minutes. Each source keeps its own last
good records: a source that fails, answers with nothing usable, or answers with
less than half of its last good set keeps serving its earlier records as stale
for up to seven days, and never removes the other source's wrecks. When the
page cannot refresh, the wrecks it shows are marked stale, and it removes them
once even the newest source is past seven days, counted from the ages the
proxy reported (so the page and server clocks are never compared; a wreck
both sources list is one record, so nothing is removed per source). EMODnet rows the portal took from
wrecksite.eu are skipped (that site is not openly licensed). A Wikidata wreck
with the same name within 3 km of an EMODnet wreck is merged into one record
that keeps the article link and takes EMODnet's year, sinking text, depth and
position accuracy. Only ship columns are read: EMODnet's long histories
(`ship_char`, `obj_desc`) are not. Sinking, cargo and description text that
refers to a person by a title or role (Mr, captain, master, owner, crew,
"reported by", …) is dropped whole by a keyword filter; a bare name with no
such word can still pass. Deaths appear only as a Wikidata count.
The globe draws a round marker with a hull and mast per wreck, all in one
billboard collection, ground-clamped with the depth test off and the horizon
cull GhostMaps uses, sized by deaths (a bigger toll draws on top) and coloured
by era (a legend under the row): before 1900 (ancient wrecks dated only by
period count here), 1900–1945, after 1945, and date unknown. A period filter
under the row picks a start year and an end year side by side (two pickers
over the years that have a wreck; a reversed pair is stored swapped); undated
wrecks show only when every year is selected. The filter is session-only (not
in the share link). Clicking a marker opens a `stateless` card: deaths and
survivors first, then the sinking date or year (or the archaeological dating)
and waters, vessel type, what happened, least depth and its quality, how well
the position is known, period notes or the Wikidata description, cargo or
finds, protected status and source.
Clicking the card opens the Wikipedia article (else the Wikidata item), the
wreck's own web page when EMODnet lists one, else EMODnet's portal. Voice does
not toggle this layer yet (prompt budget, as for the airspace layer).

## Rendered-mesh floor readings — November 9, 2026
On the photoreal stack the shared floor (`cachedGroundFloor`) answers from
rendered-mesh readings per coarse cell (0.001°, about 110 × 80 m), sampled by
`src/services/meshFloorSampler.js` and gated against the DEM by
`reportValidatedMeshFloorCell` in `src/services/groundFloor.js`. The probe goes
where the caller's point is (a vehicle or contact), not to the cell's centre;
the sampler reads a cell at up to eight spots about 12–17 m or more apart, and
each reading that passes the gate is kept at its point (ground snaps add theirs
the same way; a cell keeps at most sixteen). A read answers from the cell's
reading nearest the asked point, so a viaduct and the street beside it in one
cell keep their own heights; two readings within about 5 m of each other keep
the lower. A spot refused only because the cell's DEM prior was cold is tried
again later. Transit offers the sampler the latest point of each vehicle's path
in a cell (its newest fix in its own cell), and the grounded-flight display
clamp reads at the contact, held inside its sticky cell. Before this, one probe
at the cell's centre latched for the session, so a centre on a roof lifted
everything in the cell (a Haymarket bus drew 23.5 m above the street, on the
garage roof) and a centre in the river put Red Line trains on the Longfellow
Bridge 6–9 m under the deck. Residual: the probe is vertical, so a vehicle
directly under a deck or a roof overhang reads the structure above it, and a
vehicle between readings takes the nearest one, so its floor steps where the
nearest reading changes.

A tracked civil or military aircraft's trail (`src/data/trailContinuity.js`) lifts
the pen, drawing nothing, between two points more than 48 minutes or over 1,500 kt
apart (a parked aircraft within 0.1 nm keeps one line for up to three hours) and at a
waypoint with no altitude; a ground waypoint is drawn on the ground. The head joins the
aircraft only within 150 km. Each trail keeps up to 2,000 points, a full day of history
at one fix per minute plus the live session; past that the oldest recorded points go
first, and the oldest reports only once none are left. The renderer
(`src/data/trailRenderer.js`) freezes every chunk of 128 points except the newest into
static geometry, so a long trail costs about as much per frame as a short one;
`scripts/qa-trail-freeze.mjs` checks that a freeze never shows a blank frame.
While an aircraft is tracked, its trail between reports is the path its icon was
drawn along: the displayed position is recorded about once a second or every 150 m
(`recordTrailPoint`). Recorded points are thinned by shape: one stays only where
dropping it would move the line more than 30 m across the track or in height from any
position it stood for, or leave a straight piece longer than 10 km, so straight flight
adds a vertex every 10 km at most and a turn keeps its curve. A recorded point that
would turn the line back sharper than 120° over a short step is dropped. Reports stay
in the trail as anchors, in time order. Recorded points never join two reports that are
not one flight under the 48-minute and 1,500 kt rules; the points between them go and
nothing is recorded across such a pair. A report for a time the display has already
passed replaces what was drawn after it, and nothing is recorded until the icon has
eased onto it, so the line reads arc, report, corrected path. History from before tracking started, and the backfill, run report to report.
The trail never runs past the icon or through its 3D model, and the head runs from the
newest kept point outside the model to the icon (to the model's tail when the model is
the visual). A contact with no new report coasts along its reported track for 5 minutes
past its last real report, at no more than 1,500 kt and never below known ground, then stops;
one that
went quiet on the ground, or within 150 m of a known ground floor, holds at its last
report, records nothing and draws no head (with the ground unknown, a low barometric
altitude alone does not hold it). The hold-or-coast choice is made once per report (`staleHoldsForFix`
in `src/data/motionModel.js`), and the forward fix built when a repeated position carries
new speed or course follows the same rules and is never a trail report. A live report
with no altitude breaks the line and leaves no point at an invented height, and so does
such a report seeded from position history when tracking starts.
A contact that misses an update is stale from the first miss: it is drawn with the
45%-alpha stale fade (`STALE_ALPHA`), the tracked billboard and 3D model included, and the
tracked label reads STALE. For the tracked aircraft a poll that re-sends a fix no newer
than the last one is a miss too. Once its coast has ended, or it holds at its last report
after a miss, it stands still, dimmed, and the label reads SIGNAL LOST · <time since its
last report>, in seconds under a minute and minutes after (`_trackedStaleCue` in each

target, until 10 minutes after its newest fix (`TRACKED_RETENTION_MS`): 5 minutes coasting,
then 5 stopped as SIGNAL LOST. Untracked aircraft keep their missed-poll limits. A report
that arrives later eases the aircraft onto it.

### Following the world clock
A source may declare a timeline: it can answer a snapshot at a given time.
`source.timeline` is `{ coverage(), stepMs, subscribe? }`, validated by
`readSnapshotTimeline` (`src/sources/live/contract.js`): `coverage()` returns
the span `{ start, end }` in epoch ms it can answer, or null while it does not
know yet; `stepMs` is the spacing of its snapshots; the optional
`subscribe(listener)` tells of a change in coverage. Flights, Military Flights
and AIS Vessels follow the world clock only while their source declares one
(`src/time/snapshotTimeline.js`); with none they never follow it, and every
request, timing and display stays as it is live.
While such a layer is on it follows the clock and registers the source's
coverage on the timeline. At the live edge it polls as it always has. Away
from it the layer stops polling and asks for `getSnapshot({ ...query, atMs })`
at the step at or before the clock's time; a request at the live edge carries
no `atMs`. A seek, the time going backwards or leaving live is a jump (the
clock's `getState().jumps` counts seeks and returns to live, not play): what
loads is dropped, play holds while the snapshot loads, and the snapshot then
stands in for every contact. A contact it lacks is gone at once; a tracked or
selected contact it lacks is released, and one it has starts its trail afresh,
whose track request carries `atMs` and draws only points at or before it.
Playing, the layer stays a snapshot ahead of the time, and play does not pass a
snapshot still loading for more than 8 seconds. Those snapshots apply as polls
do, so contacts move on smoothly: aircraft are drawn at the clock's time
rather than behind it, and vessels between two fixes move along the great
circle, never past the newer one. Records, absences and the Layers panel's age
are judged at the clock's time. Outside the coverage the layer shows no
contacts and loads nothing; while the coverage is unknown it loads nothing and
clears nothing. A snapshot that fails clears the time and is asked again after
5 seconds; one the source drops for a newer request (an `AbortError`) is no
failure, and nothing is cleared. A layer has one snapshot loading at a time:
the older is aborted before a newer starts. Moving the view while vessels follow the clock asks for the new
area at the same time. Back at live the contacts are cleared and the layer
polls at once.
A snapshot at `atMs` describes the world as it stood then: `observedAtMs` is
at or before `atMs`, no record is observed later than `atMs`, freshness and
staleness are judged against `atMs`, `atMs` is echoed back, and a vessel
snapshot reports `transportStatus: 'live'`.

reads `NASA FIRMS · LIVE · updated …`. A source may instead answer the 24 hours
to a set time, naming its end as `at` (epoch ms): the row then reads
`NASA FIRMS · 24 h to MM-DD HH:MM UTC`, `getStats()` reports `at`, and
`get_active_fires` says "in the 24 hours to" that time and reports it as
`window_end`. The dev proxy never sets `at`.
The FIRMS CSV parser rejects impossible acquisition calendar dates before the proxy filters records to the trailing 24 hours, while retaining valid UTC acquisition times.

- **Flights (commercial + military)** render one poll interval behind real time (30s/15s) and interpolate between two known feed-stamped fixes (OpenSky `time_position`; adsb.lol `receipt − seen_pos`). The display latency is an intentional product decision — do not "fix" it away. The fleet dead-reckons at ~12Hz (1m² write gating); a contact already hidden behind the horizon whose last position still is re-reckons on a staggered one-in-13-ticks rotation (about once a second) instead, so the worldwide feed's ~13k contacts no longer cost a full pass when well under 1% are on screen. Anything that position puts in view, and any contact with a fleet model, takes the full pass immediately, and hidden-inclusive proximity queries read positions at most about a second old; aircraft get a 3-poll grace period (faded icon) before removal. When a position epoch pauses, both layers coast for at least 60 seconds of contact grace with an absolute five-minute ceiling. Source backoff marks each contact and the cockpit `STALE`; the cockpit then holds the exact layer position instead of continuing inertial flight. Repeated-position kinematic changes create a forward-only synthetic fix rather than mutating history, and grounded history is lifted only when no owned 3D model already controls its datum. A nominally successful worldwide OpenSky response whose own snapshot epoch is more than two minutes old prefers the existing 250-nm viewport-scoped adsb.lol fallback and labels the source/coverage accordingly when that upstream is available. If the fallback is also unavailable, the layer's freshness/error fields use the source epoch—never the cache receipt time—so the UI reports an old snapshot rather than “just now.”

- **World-space headings at every angle** (`src/data/iconOrientation.js`): aircraft/vessel icon rotation uses the camera right/up basis per tick (alignedAxis always ZERO), which is exact at screen center and for orthographic/nadir views and remains stable through >180° tracked orbits. Perspective rays vary across the viewport, so off-center contacts at oblique pitch can diverge from an exact finite-difference window projection; a regression test pins that known regime, and field evidence decides whether to adopt exact projection with the basis method as fallback. Fleet rotations refresh on camera-pose change; tracked entities per frame. Billboards are horizon-culled via a shared EllipsoidalOccluder.

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.
Close selected-pad views add one static 500 m-radius cyan launch-zone ring with a low-opacity translucent fill over the sampled photoreal launch-site surface. The single scene primitive is created only for the visible selected site and is otherwise dormant. It appears during Focus, sufficiently close manual zoom, and the replay countdown, but is suppressed above 120 km camera altitude, beyond 180 km direct camera-to-pad range, for unselected missions, and whenever Space Missions is inactive. Focus establishes a launch-site-centered camera transform once; subsequent manual heading and pitch changes remain centered on that site without an automated per-frame correction. Surface mission markers and labels use an additional conservative globe-limb margin before the exact ellipsoid occluder boundary, preventing near-horizon visibility from alternating between frames.

- **Camera verbs** (`src/cameraVerbs.js`) — one motion slot, driven per clock tick. `move_camera` orbits/pans/tilts/rotates; `fly_route` is a cinematic dolly along an existing route annotation. `rotate_globe` rotates the world-space camera rigidly around Earth's center using its screen-up axis, preserving geocentric range and framing. Left/right describe visible globe motion, while `rotate` turns the camera in place. `tilt` swings the camera about the ground under the crosshair, so the place stays centred and the heading is kept. It tilts in place instead with no ground under the crosshair, from beyond 1,000 km of range, or while an entity is tracked (voice releases the follow camera before moving, so a voice tilt from a tracked view still pivots); pitch stays within -89° to -5°, clamped only in the direction of travel so a top-down (-90°) view can tilt up out of it. Angles and limits are the camera's own pitch; at regional range the pivot's pitch is up to about 8° shallower (the Earth curves away), so the swing solves for the pivot pitch that gives the camera the angle asked for. A pivot swing toward the horizon lowers the camera (height above the pivot is range × sin|pitch|), so the swing stops lowering it at 150 m above the pivot (not above the terrain behind the camera) and the rest of the tilt happens in place. Beyond about 17 km of range the swing never hands over to an in-place tilt (that would lift the crosshair onto the sky); it keeps the camera at least 0.5° above the place's own horizon, which from roughly 500 km stops it short of -5° with the place still centred: a tilt to an angle beyond that stops at the angle reached and says so (`pitchDeg` is the angle reached, with a `note`), a continuous tilt stops there, and a further tilt up is refused as at the limit. A zoom during a pivoting tilt scales the range it holds, as for orbit, but a zoom in stops at the range that keeps that 150 m clearance; a zoom that can move no further (that floor, the 80 m floor, or the cap: 1,000 km for a tilt, where pivoting stops, and 5,000 km for an orbit) is reported as not zoomed. A zoom during a tilt to an angle re-judges the place's horizon limit at the new range: when that moves where the tilt ends, the tilt eases from where it is to the new end (holding the camera's pitch through the range change; a camera the zoom leaves past the new range's limit steps down to it with the zoom, since past it the place would drop behind the Earth), and the zoom's result names that angle (`pitchDeg`) with a `note`. Once the tilt continues in place, a zoom moves the camera like any zoom. A tilt with `pitchDeg` (or with neither angle nor direction, which means -45°) eases to that angle; a positive angle means the same angle below the horizon. `pitchDeg` is absolute, not a step: sent with a `direction` it contradicts, the tilt is refused. An angle the camera already holds answers `unchanged` but still takes navigation, so it stops a running motion and releases the follow camera. A tilt left or right is refused. A voice tilt, orbit, pan or rotate sent while a voice `fly_to_location` is still looking up or flying ("fly to London and tilt the camera" or "fly to Paris and orbit it" arrives as two sibling calls) waits for that flight to land, up to 15 s (moving to a later fly-to in the same reply as soon as it begins, whatever the earlier one reports), so it neither cancels the flight nor gets replaced by it; if the flight is cancelled, finds nothing or times out, the user grabs, touches or scrolls the map during it, or another navigation (a location-panel search, share link or file import, which leave the flight flying) takes the camera during it, the motion is not run and says so. A motion that runs after a fly-to of the same reply has already found nothing (Gemini runs one turn's calls one by one, and passes its turn as the reply) is refused the same way rather than moving the old view; a motion in a later reply runs. `stop` and `rotate_globe` do not wait, and a motion sent before its fly-to is not reordered: it runs at once, and the fly-to's result names the motion it stopped (`stoppedMotion`). Orbit still arms (`armed: 'waiting-for-arrival'`) when it starts during any other camera flight, and captures its target once the tween queue has been quiet for 0.8 s. Omitted globe direction/mode default to right/continuous; explicit values prevail. Other camera motions keep their once default. Admission requires 3D, no Cockpit/tracking owner and the whole globe inside the existing keyhole circle, using the shared keyhole/projection geometry and vertical camera FOV with a rotation-local bounding-sphere cone for off-axis containment.

Pitch is LOCKED at −32°; heading comes from a gaze that leads the path by 6.5 s of travel. `prefers-reduced-motion` zeroes the roll and the altitude shaping and keeps the easing.

- **Visual-context escalation** (OpenAI Realtime): when a response's last tool result is a `get_entity_context` answer, a tool output from that response was sent and the data channel is open, it logs one `viewport_context.decision` with `contextId`, `send` and `reason`, plus `viewScale` and, when `send` is true, `kind` (`viewport` or `crop`). Decision reasons: `structured-identity-sufficient` (structured context made an image unnecessary), `view-scale-not-local`, `structured-identity-missing` (requests a viewport), `pointer-crop-eligible` (a pointer answer with no identity; requests a crop, and the crop checks below decide whether one is sent), `pointer-identity-present` and `pointer-missing`. A send decision is followed by exactly one outcome with the same `contextId` and `kind`: `viewport_context.result` (`sent`, `data-channel-send-failed`), logged as soon as the send returns, or `viewport_context.skipped`. Pointer-crop skips are `pointer-not-fresh` (no snapshot, or a stale one), `pointer-not-ground`, `pointer-off-screen`, `pointer-scale-not-useful` (zoomed out past `local` or `city`), `pointer-already-requested` (the most recently requested snapshot again: already sent, still being captured, or an earlier attempt for it threw), `pointer-expired`, `pointer-pose-unknown` and `pose-changed`; dropped captures are `capture-unavailable`, `session-reset`, `superseded` (a newer request or turn), `channel-lost` and `frame-stale`; a step that throws before an outcome closes the pair with `error`, and the caller then logs `viewport_context.failed`. Direct calls to the crop or image senders log their skips with a null `contextId`. Decision and outcome are separate records, so the debug-log rate limit can drop one half of a pair. Payloads are static codes only, never image data, tool payloads or user text, and other tool results log nothing here. Gemini Live uses a different gate in `geminiSession.js` (no pointer crop, a 1 s throttle), which is not instrumented.
- **Counting semantics ("near")** — a CONTRACT; new count-bearing tool work inherits it. Three honest numbers exist for one question: the Contacts cohort (250 km around the subject, what the panel shows), `analyst_query`'s count of _currently-loaded_ records for the requested scope, and the layer-wide loaded total in `coverage.layersQueried[].total`. They diverge legitimately — the flights layer loads by viewport, so after a camera dive the loaded set can hold a fraction of the cohort (field case: panel 42, analyst 8). The contract:
1. **Contacts ACTIVE** → "near / nearby / how many aircraft" means the **Contacts window** — the panel's numbers, spoken verbatim. Mechanism: `contactsWindow` (`{centeredOn, radiusKm, flights, military, vessels, complete}`), carried by both `analyst_query` and `get_current_view_state`, derived by `contactsWindowFromSnapshot()` from the same snapshot the panel renders so the two cannot drift. Voice filtering and follow-up memory use that immutable snapshot too. A cohort whose feed cannot answer reports `'unknown'`, never a confident zero; a cohort at the 20,000-row retention bound reports a lower bound.
2. **Contacts OFF** → "nearby" means **in view**; "near \<place\>" means a radius around that place. A radius query with Contacts active and no explicit centre is centred on the **active contact**, not the camera.

- **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, markActions })` 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.
- **The pointer, for an application's own tool.** `createApplicationTools` also returns `pointer` (`data/inputOwnership.js`): `claim(owner)` takes the pointer as Draw does and returns its lease, or `null` while another tool holds it; `release(lease)` gives it back; `isFree()` lets the application's own click handlers yield, as the layers' do. An owner without a name in `pointerOwnerNames.js` is named by its id when another tool reports who holds the pointer.
- **Row actions are an application's own.** `createApplicationTools({ drawMarkActions })` hands `initDrawTool` buttons for drawn areas' and lines' rows; the standalone shell passes none, so the open-source build shows no new button and makes no new request. Each action (`drawMarkActions` in `src/annotations/drawMarks.js`) is `{ id, icon, label(name), shapes: ['area', 'line'], accepts?(geometry, shape), run({ id, shape, name, title, geometry }) }`: the icon a Material Symbols name, the label worded by the application, `name` the person's own and `title` the row's (the name, else `Area` or `Line · 950 m`), the geometry `drawMarkGeometry`'s `[lon, lat]` `Polygon` (closed; a `MultiPolygon` for an area handle with several parts) or `LineString`, longitudes wrapped into [-180, 180]. A pin, and a shape that crosses the antimeridian or has a part that cannot be given whole, has no geometry and is offered nothing. Malformed actions and repeated ids are dropped once, at construction. What `run` returns or resolves to is a note under the row (`role=status`; past 200 characters it is cut at a word with an ellipsis); the row is busy (`aria-disabled`, no second press) until it settles, a rejection or a throw clears the note and is logged (so an action words its own refusals and resolves with them), and a shape's note goes with the shape, so a late answer never lands on a removed one.
- 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.

- **Panel.** The right-rail NEWS panel (`src/ui/newsPanel.js`, `src/ui/news/`) has a time window at the top (the server's 24 h, or 12, 6, 3 or 1 h; the hotspot counts are read for the chosen window) and two sections. **Conflicts**: hotspot chips with counts, a severity floor (significant and above by default), a category filter, the chosen event, and a continuous feed, newest first. **Local**, while the camera is below 3,000 km: every report in the area at the view centre, newest first, named at the top ("News from …") and outlined on the globe, which then shows those reports instead of the hotspots' news; at sea, reports within 500 km. A disputed area of the bundled list (11, see `src/data/local_data/natural_earth/README.md`), or a territory Natural Earth gives no country code (Somaliland, Northern Cyprus and others), is named as itself and read from no country's outlets; elsewhere Natural Earth's default country lines apply. Each card shows the publisher's picture when the event has one (hotlinked, no referrer, publisher credited), the headline (a model's English headline marked as such), a mono meta line (severity marker, category, place, sources, age), who reported it, attestation and media chips, and the service it came through ("via GDELT Project"). Open, a card plays the post's clip on request. A click flies the camera straight down from 150 km and selects the report.
- **Notices.** A section whose key the server lacks says "{provider} key required" and names the variable; a refused key says "{provider} refused its key"; a spent daily allowance says "{provider} limit reached for today". The other section keeps working.
- **Source.** `sources.news` (`createNewsSource`, export `./layers/news/source`) reads same-origin `/api/news/*` with a 15 s timeout, a 4 MiB cap and record-by-record validation; `newsQueryAllowed` lets a host admit exactly the client's requests. Core's local server (`server/providers/news.js`) forwards only those GET requests to `GEV_NEWS_ORIGIN` when it is set.
- **Built-in backend.** With `GEV_NEWS_ORIGIN` unset, Core answers the same routes itself (`server/providers/news/keyed.js`). **Conflicts** needs no key: the last 24 h of GDELT 2.0 event exports (15-minute files on `data.gdeltproject.org`, about 100 KB each), physical violence only (CAMEO roots 18–20), one report per story with copies of one agency story merged, placed at GDELT's location for it (a town the article's words name beats a bare country). Titles are the article's page title from GDELT's GKG export of the same quarter hour (about 6 MB each) for the newest 3 h, else the words of the article's address; GDELT's actor coding is never shown. With `LIVEUAMAP_API_KEY`, Liveuamap's mapped items stand beside GDELT's. **Local** reads World News API (`WORLDNEWSAPI_KEY`) by the source country at the view centre, once per country every 30 minutes (about 1.5 points a read, at most `WORLDNEWSAPI_DAILY_READS` reads a day, default 30), plus the Conflicts reports placed inside the area. A country's own stories keep World News API's category (politics, business, else other) and no severity: the rules read fighting and crises, and everyday headlines mislead them. Areas come from the bundled Natural Earth countries and disputed areas (`server/providers/news/areas.js`). Conflicts' categories, relevance and severity are bundled rules (`categorize.js`); a news server may replace them. A read with nothing current to serve (GDELT's, Liveuamap's or a country's) is waited for at most 10 s, under the client's 15 s timeout, and goes on past that for the next refresh. Meanwhile GDELT serves the exports read so far and Conflicts serves GDELT without Liveuamap; Local in a country answers unavailable (502) until its outlets' read lands, and serves them without the Conflicts reports while those are missing. A section left with nothing answers unavailable, and a refused key stays refused. A country's World News API news is kept for at most 1 hour and then deleted; a request that never reached World News API is not counted against the day's reads. A story with neither a page title nor words in its address is minor (GDELT's code alone), so it is not listed under Conflicts, and the hotspot counts leave minor reports out. The routes sit behind the cross-site gate for key-spending routes (`sameSiteGated`), a request line that is no URL answers 400, and a news server's 503 key states (`no_key`, `key_rejected`, `key_quota`) and `news_not_configured` are relayed as they are.

The Cockpit model cap remains 60 and can only lower the map budget; in-range contacts that are capped or still loading remain 2D silhouettes instead of degrading to out-of-range dots. Contacts outside the selected band use small rotation-free cyan-white pips for civilian aircraft and amber pips for military. The pilot's own airframe is not drawn in first person, and exiting clears the Cockpit band and restores normal map silhouettes/models. The normal left accordion remains available for Layers and Authoring and keeps the same 26vh HUD-aligned anchor used in map mode, independent of whether the bottom-left Contact card is expanded or collapsed; the right-rail CCTV and Context chooser are hidden to avoid duplicating or overlapping the cockpit presentation.

- **Cockpit left-panel clearance:** the Cockpit Contact card and peripheral HUD participate in the adaptive left accordion's live obstacle measurements, including live viewport-height changes. Expanding Layers or Authoring keeps the active panel in the available upper-left corridor with internal scrolling; it does not cover the Contact card, lower Cockpit controls, or Cesium credit line. Outside Cockpit the hidden card does not alter the normal corridor.
- **Cockpit Context scope:** the 250 km radius applies to the air/sea proximity cohorts. Installation counts come only from the currently loaded viewport and are labeled `CURRENT VIEWPORT ONLY` in the cockpit as well as the normal Context panel; neither surface presents them as a complete 250 km installation survey.
- **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 are the way in and out; Cockpit claims no `C` shortcut, so `C` keeps toggling CCTV, also inside a first-person view. 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, and the query tools' vessel `course_deg` and `heading_deg`, aircraft `course_deg`, transit `bearing_deg`, camera `heading_deg` and satellite `rise_azimuth_deg` and `azimuth_deg`, 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.

### News layer without a news server
Status: Open (limits)
- GDELT's places and categories are machine-coded and approximate. A report can
be placed in the wrong town of the same name, or at a country an article only
names as a nationality ("Syrian refugees" placed in Syria).
- Copies of one agency story are merged, but the same event under different
wording stays as separate reports.
- Only the 11 disputed areas in the bundled list
(`src/data/local_data/natural_earth/README.md`) and the territories Natural
Earth gives no country code (Somaliland, Northern Cyprus, Siachen Glacier,
the Spratly Islands and a few more) are named as themselves; everywhere else
Natural Earth's default country lines apply, so a place in Western Sahara,
for example, is named with the country those lines put it in. GDELT places a whole city at one point: Jerusalem's falls
inside East Jerusalem, so it is named "Jerusalem" alone.
- A country's own stories in Local keep World News API's category (politics as
political, business as economy, else other) and carry no severity; fighting
there shows through the Conflicts reports placed in the area.
- When World News API takes 10 to 20 s to answer a country's first read, Local
reads unavailable until it is asked again (the next refresh, every 2 minutes
while the tab is shown, or the camera settling in another half-degree cell,
or a section switch), which is served from that read. A read over 20 s fails
and is tried again with the first ask a minute or more later.
- Local needs a World News API key. Its free plan allows 50 points a day; Core
stops at `WORLDNEWSAPI_DAILY_READS` reads (default 30) and Local then says the
daily limit is reached. A request that never reached World News API (offline)
is not counted; any answer from it is, a failing one too, and so is a
request that timed out.
- A country's news is kept for at most 1 hour (World News API's terms, which
also ask the operator for its written permission to cache at all). While
World News API cannot be read, Local in that country therefore reads
unavailable from an hour after its last good read.
- A story GDELT codes as violence whose address has no words, and whose page
title is not in yet (titles are read for the newest 3 hours only), is not
listed under Conflicts or counted in its hotspot: GDELT's coding alone is
wrong too often. It still shows in Local for its area, as "… reported in
<place>".
- `/api/news/*` refuses cross-site browser requests and requests carrying
reverse-proxy forwarding headers, like the other key-spending routes
(SECURITY.md): behind a reverse proxy the News layer reads unavailable.

6. **New view kinds and entity kinds** get the next code. A new entity kind's
id takes the next free thing field (13 onwards), so older apps skip it and
fall back to the camera. A thing that needs more than an id (for example a
id takes the next free thing field (14 onwards; 13 is a vessel id that is
a UUID), so older apps skip it and fall back to the camera. A thing that needs more than an id (for example a
CCTV camera, a radio station or a transit vehicle) adds further thing
fields the same way.
7. **A new layer option** needs an entry in `SHARE_VIEW_LAYER_OPTION_ABSENT`

1. Create `src/i18n/locales/<code>.json`, fill it from `npm run i18n -- --missing <code>` (start from `{}`), and translate every entry.
2. Import it in `src/i18n/index.js` and add it to `CATALOGS`.
3. Add the code to `LOCALES` and its own-language name to `LOCALE_NAMES` in `src/i18n/locale.js`. Right-to-left languages also go in `RTL_LOCALES`; the chrome mirrors through logical CSS properties (`inset-inline-*`, `margin-inline-*`), and `src/ui/styles/rtl.css` holds what those cannot express (see the Arabic notes). If the language should keep Western digits, map it in `INTL_TAGS` in `locale.js`.
4. Add `src/i18n/locales/<code>.json` next to `ru.json` in `scripts/package-boundaries.json`.
4. Add `src/i18n/locales/<code>.json` next to `ru.json` in `scripts/package-boundaries.json` and in `scripts/format-scope.json`.
5. Write `docs/translations/<code>.md`: glossary, plural forms, units and style (copy the structure of `ru.md`).
6. Run `npm run i18n` and `npm test`, then check the panels in the app at narrow widths.
6. If the language is not written in Latin letters, also add it to `NON_LATIN_LOCALES` in `src/hudSummaryResponse.js` — that guard falls back to the translated text when a summary provider answers in English.

# Hebrew (`he`)
Catalog: `src/i18n/locales/he.json`. General rules: [TRANSLATORS.md](../TRANSLATORS.md).
## Style
- Address the user with a masculine imperative, Google style: הסתר, הצג, נסה שוב, התקרב. Menu items and tooltips take the noun form: הסרת {name}, הרחבת {name}, שינוי הצבע של {name}.
- Sentence case: Hebrew has no case forms, so UPPERCASE English is normal sentence style here; short HUD labels stay short, favor an abbreviation over a wrapped line.
- Units follow the catalog: ק"מ, מ׳, קמ"ש, שנ׳, דק׳, שע׳; an abbreviation always ends in the geresh (׳). Instrument readouts and formatted shared-unit labels keep the Latin units (km, NM, FT, KTS, MW, KM/S); catalog prose outside those readouts keeps ק"מ/מ׳. Codes like HDG, FOV, CAL, SRC, REC stay exactly as in English — see `same-as-english.json`.
## Digits and direction
- Western digits 0–9 only, like every catalog: "5 מטוסים", "26.08.2026". Dates in scene labels use dd.mm.yyyy.
- `{direction}` values are adverbs (שמאלה, ימינה, ישר); maneuver templates are written to place them after the verb: פנה {direction} אל {road}.
- Values inserted by t() are isolated (U+2068…U+2069); do not add manual RTL marks — write the sentence as natural Hebrew and let isolation do the rest.
## Plurals
A `tn()` entry needs three forms under `Intl.PluralRules('he')`:
| Form | Counts | Example |
| ------- | ---------------------------- | -------------- |
| `one` | 1 and fractions below 1 | 1 מצלמה · 0.5 |
| `two` | 2 | 2 מצלמות |
| `other` | 0, 3, 10, 100, integers… | 5 מצלמות |
With {count} shown as a digit, `two` and `other` share the plural noun (2 מצלמות, 5 מצלמות); `one` takes the singular (1 מצלמה). For constructs that resist agreement with a noun (אין, הכול, זמין), phrase around the number: "{count} תחנות מדווחות" is fine, but prefer "ממתין: {count}" over a mismatched genitive chain.
