Fill raised KML polygons up to 32,768 vertices

A raised polygon past 4,096 vertices lost its fill, which main drew.
Triangulating 32,768 vertices takes about 58 ms on a fast laptop, so the
fill limit moves there; 128 rings stay the hole limit, since holes make
earcut quadratic. The polygon loop yields to the event loop after 8 ms of
work, and the import cancels a draw whose globe went away while it
yielded, without reporting the file as unreadable.

KNOWN-ISSUES names the fill limit and two Navara limits: an expired
terrain token is not refreshed while the page is open, and a failing map
source does not fall back to another map.

 ## Open
 
+### Large raised KML polygons omit their fill
+
+Status: Open (bounded triangulation)
+
+On both engines, raised polygons with more than 32,768 vertices draw only
+their outlines. Those with more than 128 rings draw neither fill nor
+outlines. These limits bound main-thread triangulation and outline work;
+the omitted geometry is counted as undrawn in the import result.
+
+### Navara terrain tokens are not refreshed while the page stays open
+
+Status: Open (reload required)
+
+An expired terrain token is not refreshed during an open Navara session.
+Reload the page to request a new terrain token.
+
+### Navara does not fall back when a map source fails
+
+Status: Open (manual map selection)
+
+Navara does not report tile errors, so a failing map source does not trigger
+fallback to another map. Select another map manually when tiles fail to load.
+
 ### Orbital cockpit is unavailable on Navara
 
 Status: Open (Cesium only)
