 # Changelog
 
+- Treat explicitly current, complete empty vessel coverage as a successful update,
+  clearing obsolete contacts while retaining stale or incomplete snapshots.
+
+- Custom Street Level provider switches survive share links and stored state
+  using URL-safe stable provider IDs and a shared boolean-switch codec; existing
+  Mapillary links keep their meaning. Explicit provider toggles reach durable
+  state without adopting unrelated live switch changes.
+
+- Directions and Recent Imagery accept replaceable acquisition sources, including
+  route transport, imagery catalog, thumbnails, tile templates and attribution.
+  Explicitly removing either source leaves its layer unavailable; standalone
+  defaults preserve the existing providers.
+
+- Catalog source availability no longer modifies layer objects; unavailable
+  tooltips use layer display names.
+
+- Street Level with no providers uses the shared unavailable state and refuses
+  activation before initialization, while keeping its layer identity visible.
+
+- Application source configuration accepts replacements and explicit removal.
+  Missing catalog feeds leave their layers unavailable without blocking startup
+  or making fallback requests; malformed supplied feeds remain configuration errors.
+
+- Street Level providers are optional in application composition. Omitting a
+  Mapillary source no longer prevents startup; callers can inject a different
+  provider list or an empty list without changing layer identities or share links.
+
+- Vector tile sources take their allowed tile origin from the configured
+  `tileJsonUrl`, so repointing only that URL at a mirror loads tiles from the
+  mirror or fails visibly instead of silently using OpenFreeMap. Thanks to
+  [daikaginza](https://github.com/daikaginza) (#935).

+> Voice can use an **OpenAI API key** or, on the same machine, an opt-in signed-in **ChatGPT/Codex OAuth** session. The API-key path remains the default. Selecting ChatGPT OAuth in Provider Settings reuses an existing local sign-in or starts the Codex browser sign-in flow and selects OAuth when it completes. The OpenAI key still drives the **AI HUD summary**: a terse, five-word intelligence-style readout of the current view that regenerates as you move.
+
+The OAuth option is experimental. OpenAI documents ChatGPT plan usage for the [Responses API](https://developers.openai.com/siwc/token-sharing-open-source/models-and-inference); a supported third-party Realtime contract for reusing Codex tokens has not been confirmed. A successful token mint does not establish billing or support terms.
+
+GEV reads Codex's file credentials but does not write or refresh them. It checks token shape and expiry, and reports expired sign-in as requiring re-authentication. The login button runs `codex login`, permits one pending attempt, and reports exit failures or a two-minute timeout. `CODEX_HOME` must match the directory that Codex uses. If `CODEX_AUTH_JSON` points elsewhere, sign in separately or fix that mismatch before using the button. Codex credential storage must use `auth.json`; Keychain-only and in-memory storage are not readable by GEV. On Windows, the login button may not be able to start an npm-installed Codex; run `codex login` yourself, then select OAuth. See [Codex credential storage](https://learn.chatgpt.com/docs/auth#credential-storage).

+Catalog source contracts and their consuming layers are declared in

+standalone defaults, and null entries explicitly remove a source. Street Level
+continues to accept an explicit provider list. An empty Street Level provider
+list uses the same unavailable lifecycle and disabled layer toggle. Directions (`getRoute`) and
+Recent Imagery (`searchHls`, `getThumbnail`, `getTileTemplate`) use the same source
+configuration boundary. Standalone selects their default adapters; layers retain
+route normalization, imagery selection and rendering. Recent Imagery adapters
+consume the existing HLS/VIIRS product schema and provide their own tile attribution.
+The source factories are exported at `layers/directions/source` and

+than registration order, and round-trip through links and stored state. A receiver
+applies only switches for its registered providers; absent custom switches leave
+current defaults unchanged. Explicit provider toggles persist only their requested
+switch IDs through the state coordinator; unrelated live values remain transient.
+The custom switch field is bounded to 256 characters;

Both long-lived credentials stay server-side; OAuth minting is loopback-only. SDP exchange goes directly to `api.openai.com/v1/realtime/calls` with the ephemeral token.
 - **Session defaults** (env-tunable): model `gpt-realtime-2` (or `gpt-realtime-2.1-mini` when the MINI tier is selected — see the model-tier entry below), voice `marin`, reasoning effort `low`, semantic VAD with low eagerness, no response interruption, context window truncated to ~3,000 post-instruction tokens with 0.5 retention ratio — the conversational window stays short because map state is fetched live per turn.
 - **Thirty tools** (argument schemas in `src/voice/actionSchemas.js`, served with their descriptions by `server/providers/openai/tools.js`, executed client-side in `src/voice/gevActions.js`): `fly_to_location`, `select_nearest_aircraft`, `adjust_camera_zoom`, `zoom_to_globe`, `set_layer_visibility`, `show_data_layers_menu`, `set_panel_open`, `set_visual_style`, `get_entity_context`, `get_current_view_state`, `set_hud`, `set_cyber_sonar`, `set_detection`, `set_map_stack`, `set_post_processing`, `control_scene`, `control_cctv`, `set_context_mode`, `control_cockpit`, `control_radio`, `track_entity`, `stop_tracking`, `frame_overhead`, `annotate_map`, `clear_annotations`, `move_camera`, `fly_route`, `analyst_query`, `next_iss_pass`, and `next_satellite_pass`.

   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.
   3. **Every count names its scope in words** — "42 in your window", "8 in view", "about 30 within 250 km of Austin" — never a bare number. `analyst_query` returns `scopeLabel` so this is mechanical. Two different numbers with named scopes are not a contradiction.

-- **Degradation**: without `OPENAI_API_KEY`, `/api/realtime/token` returns 503 and the mic button surfaces the error; the rest of the app is unaffected.
+- **Degradation**: API-key mode without `OPENAI_API_KEY` returns 503 as before. Selecting OAuth without a usable local ChatGPT/Codex sign-in starts the local `codex login` browser flow, polls for the resulting local token, and selects OAuth when sign-in completes. If the Codex login flow cannot start or does not complete, the rest of the app is unaffected.
+- **Login lifecycle and storage**: one pending Codex login is shared by the login and status routes. Process failure, success without readable credentials, and a two-minute timeout each report a clear failure; timeout and server shutdown cancel the owned process. The launcher resolves `CODEX_HOME` before changing directories and refuses a mismatched `CODEX_AUTH_JSON`. GEV reads file credentials only, never writes or refreshes them, and does not require the vendor refresh token. Expired access tokens report `CODEX_OAUTH_REAUTH_REQUIRED`. OAuth status and login routes also use the same-site request gate.
+- **Auth button focus**: changing voice auth updates the existing controls in place. Enter, Space, and mouse selection keep focus on the auth button; Tab then follows the normal control order. Pending sign-in blocks repeated activation without removing the button from the focus order. Completion does not take focus from another control or discard text in the key fields. `scripts/qa-voice-auth-focus.mjs` checks these paths in Chromium with fixture sign-in responses.
+- **Support boundary**: the local OAuth option is experimental. OpenAI's documented Sign in with ChatGPT plan-sharing inference endpoint is `/v1/responses`; support for third-party reuse of Codex credentials at `/v1/realtime/client_secrets` remains unconfirmed. Technical success does not establish a supported auth or billing contract.

 - GBFS proxy refuses upstream redirects (`redirect: 'manual'`; any 3xx becomes a 502 and the redirect target is logged server-side only) and enforces its 5 MB response cap while the body streams, cancelling the upstream read past the cap; CCTV health map is bounded.
 - Proxy error payloads are sanitized (no internal error details returned to clients).
 - That holds for the OpenAI and CCTV media paths too: `/api/openai/hud-summary` never relays OpenAI's own `error.message`, `/api/realtime/token` passes successful ephemeral-token responses through but answers with a fixed error when minting fails or upstream rejects the request, and a failed CCTV media fetch stores a fixed camera health `message` — `GET /api/cctv/health` serializes that field and the CCTV panel renders it as a status label, so it is a client surface as much as the response body is.
