+- Explicit cyclone selections publish only the currently selected NHC/CPHC
+  storm into shared context. Switching storms evicts the previous identity
+  instead of leaving stale coordinates active (kvnloo, #847; reviewed by

 geographic seams and releases on disable; forecast animation is not implied.
 Cyclone markers, labels, tracks and cones are hidden beyond the horizon on every map source.
+Explicit cyclone selections publish one shared `weather-cyclones` record
+with official advisory provenance and source position. Switching storms removes
+the prior record; automatic row selection never claims global context, and
+refreshes do not re-announce selection. Clearing or losing an explicitly selected
+storm removes shared context rather than assigning a fallback.
 Consult the linked official advisory for safety decisions.
 
 Voice and HUD snapshots reuse the existing feedState classifier. Analyst follow-ups retain their original data provenance; current-view results append provenance without replacing legacy fields. HUD context and deterministic telemetry include non-nominal feed state.
