+- Satellite clouds keep Clouds only / Full as quick endpoints and add a continuous

 ### Three deliberately client-side keys — restrict them
 
 These are designed to be used directly in the browser (like a Mapbox public token). They are injected into the client bundle via Vite's `define`, so they **will** be visible in browser devtools. Scope and restrict them rather than trying to hide them:
 
-1. **Google Maps API key** — loads Photorealistic 3D Tiles directly and powers GEV place search and Street View (Maps JavaScript API; add it to the key's API restrictions). **Restrict it** (HTTP referrer + API restriction to the required Google APIs) in the Google Cloud Console. An unrestricted key in a public deployment can be abused and billed to you.
+1. **Google Maps API key** — loads Photorealistic 3D Tiles directly and powers Street View (Maps JavaScript API; add it to the key's API restrictions). **Restrict it** (HTTP referrer + API restriction to the required Google APIs) in the Google Cloud Console. An unrestricted key in a public deployment can be abused and billed to you. Restrict it to the **Map Tiles API and Maps JavaScript API only**: a referrer restriction applies to the Maps JavaScript API and the client SDKs, not to the web services, so a key carrying Geocoding under one is refused with `API keys with referer restrictions cannot be used with this API`. Search does not need it — geocoding goes through the server proxies above (#363).
 2. **Cesium ion token** (`CESIUM_ION_TOKEN`, optional — for ion-hosted Google Photorealistic 3D Tiles, Bing world imagery, and world terrain) — used as `Cesium.Ion.defaultAccessToken` client-side. Use a public **`assets:read`** token with **URL restrictions** for any hosted deployment. The Community plan has eligibility and usage limits; a public token is not a secret, but it can still consume the account's quota.
 3. **Mapillary client token** (`MAPILLARY_CLIENT_TOKEN`, optional, Street Level) — used by the MapillaryJS viewer and Graph API lookups in the browser, and by the server's coverage-tile proxy. Mapillary client tokens are meant for browser use.
 
 > The explicit browser `define` block in `build/vite.js` controls exactly what reaches the client: only these three keys. Everything else stays server-side.
 
-**Places and Street View never needed to be on that list** (#33): they're called from the server-side proxies in the table above, which use `GOOGLE_MAPS_SERVER_API_KEY` when it's set. Splitting it from the browser-exposed key lets each key's Google Cloud restriction actually match what it does — the browser key referrer-restricted to the APIs the client loads, the server key IP-restricted (never a referrer, since it never leaves your server) to Places + Street View Static — instead of one key that has to be either over-permissioned or broken for one of its two jobs. A single shared `GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY` still works if you don't split them; it just has to cover every API both sides use.

 Never commit real keys. `.env` is gitignored; only `.env.example` (placeholder names) is tracked. On macOS `dev-fresh.sh` can read keys from the Keychain; plain Vite uses env vars or a local `.env`, and Pinokio uses its ignored app `ENVIRONMENT` file.

-Thumbnail decoding requires explicit `Data-Present: true` evidence; false remains empty, while absent or malformed evidence reports an error.

Cross-origin sources must expose that header to browser JavaScript.
