 ## [Unreleased]
 
+- Voice can reuse what it outlines. `resolve_area` turns a named place into a
+  reusable area, keeping every part and hole, from the same sources as voice
+  outlines; a name several countries or states share ("Georgia", "Punjab") is
+  asked about unless the view is inside one of them. "Draw an area around
+  <landmark>" outlines the mapped area enclosing it, or a 250 m buffer marked
+  approximate. `analyst_query` counts inside an area, the area you drew or an
+  outline on the map, and `find_imagery` shows the best recent acquisition for
+  an area, the view or the spot under the pointer (bilawalsidhu, #846).
+
+- `osm_query` ("hospitals in Kathmandu") lists places of one kind into a
+  session-only OSM Places layer. It is offered only when `OVERPASS_UPSTREAMS`
+  is set, and `/api/osm/features` refuses before fetching otherwise; public
+  Nominatim is never used for it (bilawalsidhu, #846).
+
+- Analyst counts that combine flights, military aircraft and local ADS-B are
+  named "aircraft". Follow-ups keep the displayed scope and the loaded-data
+  caveat until a new scope replaces them (bilawalsidhu, #846).

 - **Mapped installations.** OpenFreeMap military polygons use a bundled Overture/OSM name index; wide views show named points. Optional operator-configured Overpass and explicit Google Places searches keep their own source paths. Mapped data does not establish current activity or complete coverage.
 - **Place search.** Named-place fly-to uses Google Geocoding when a Maps key is configured, then Photon (`PHOTON_URL`; unset uses the public instance, empty disables it), then `/api/geocode` (Nominatim search) when neither answers. `/api/geocode` and the voice outline route `/api/geocode/outline` share one Nominatim queue (`NOMINATIM_URL`; unset, empty and invalid values disable it; an operator must explicitly select an authorized endpoint): one request at a time at least 1.1 s apart, an identifying `User-Agent` and `Referer`, a short queue that refuses a burst, a pause after 429/403/5xx answers (honouring `Retry-After` in full), at most one retry after a network failure, and a per-install daily cap on public-instance requests (`NOMINATIM_DAILY_CAP`, default 50). Processes using the same installation state file hold one lock through the actual fetch invocation and recording the next public start, with the daily slot persisted before invocation; restarts share that count, spacing and any pause. An unfinished dispatch marker fails closed until operator recovery; it is never automatically reclaimed. Public access fails closed if the state file cannot be read, locked, written or semantically validated. This coordination does not span independent installations or state directories and does not establish an application-wide public-service allowance or authorize public use. An operator-selected non-public endpoint is outside the public cap, spacing and durable-state requirement; an upstream cooldown is kept with the endpoint that returned it rather than leaking across operator URLs. Answers are cached on disk (outlines 90 days, places 30 days, no-results 24 hours); failures are not cached. Outlines are looked up only for an explicit ask, after bundled data and any configured Overpass, and only results whose type suits the ask are used. Administrative outline responses expose country/admin-1/admin-2 identity only when the selected Nominatim row has a recognized, unambiguous address type consistent with its own name; numeric rank, ambiguous types, missing fields and contradictory names do not manufacture identity. It is not used for systematic or bulk queries.
 - **Street and building outlines.** Voice street highlights, pointed-at buildings and grounds use the OpenFreeMap vector tiles the traffic layer already loads. Traffic and outlines share one bounded pending fetch/decode owner per immutable XYZ tile; materialized outline geometry is charged to the retained-byte ceiling and capped by coordinate count. Consumer result caches and request lifetimes remain independent, while eviction or explicit teardown cancels queued idle projections and releases their decoded owner. No Overpass request is made unless `OVERPASS_UPSTREAMS` is configured. Named grounds require a returned name matching the selected place, except that an ask whose head noun names a kind of grounds (a school, university or college, hospital, cemetery, stadium or zoo) may use the part of the smallest unnamed tile area of that class that holds the resolved place; a differently named area never answers. Other anonymous landcover polygons cannot establish identity, so unsupported grounds stay unavailable rather than borrowing a nearby POI name.
+- **Voice areas and place search.** Voice areas (`resolve_area`) use the same outline sources as voice outlines. Voice place search (`osm_query`, `/api/osm/features`) runs only on an operator-configured Overpass: a fixed list of kinds, a bounded box and result count, one query at a time, answers cached for a day. It never uses Nominatim.
 - **Cockpit regional briefing.** `/api/regional-brief` rounds aircraft coordinates into 0.1° cache cells, caches results for five minutes, and resolves physical regions from bundled public-domain Natural Earth polygons without reverse-geocoding requests. Google News RSS is queried with the resolved locality/region first; GDELT is used only when that RSS query fails or is empty. Google's published Google News terms restrict that source to personal, noncommercial use, so commercial deployments must disable/replace it or obtain separate permission; GDELT permits commercial dataset use with citation. The Data attribution popover identifies the active headline sources; article links retain publisher attribution. Headlines are location-query matches, not verified incidents, risk rankings, or evidence that a location is safe. Empty, partial, stale, and unavailable source states remain distinct. Open-Meteo supplies current conditions independently of the news source. `WX OFF` disables cockpit weather rendering only; the Local Info briefing still fetches its source-backed weather values and displays the required linked Open-Meteo credit.
 - **Dynamic weather presentation.** While cockpit mode is active, `/api/weather-effects` requests current Open-Meteo observations for the aircraft/camera location, rounds coordinates into 0.1° cache cells, caches results for five minutes, and may retain a stale observation for up to 30 minutes during a transient outage. WMO condition code selects the visual family; observed cloud cover, precipitation, visibility, wind speed, and wind direction bound its strength and motion. Missing or expired weather renders no synthetic atmospheric effect, and normal globe view never renders the weather overlay.

 The standalone app offers OpenAI and Gemini Live through an explicit provider chooser. Gemini keeps its permanent API key on the local server and mints a short-lived, single-use credential with server-owned instructions and the standalone action catalog. Its native WebSocket adapter supports open microphone and push-to-talk input, streaming audio, captions and the existing action runner. In push-to-talk, a tool call that arrives with no input, reply or tool result outstanding is answered with a failure and never runs, and neither does any other call in the reply it starts; open-microphone turns start on Gemini's server-side activity detection, which reports no boundary to check. Switching providers ends the old conversation and releases its microphone and connection; only the input mode carries over. Gemini uses bounded shutdown draining and explicit manual restart, without automatic reconnection or a promise of uninterrupted session duration. Hosts that do not opt into the provider facade retain their existing default or custom adapter.

+Voice action argument schemas have one portable owner under `src/voice/actionSchemas.js`. The Realtime provider builds 33 tools using separate description-only metadata; a session is offered 32 of them unless `OVERPASS_UPSTREAMS` is set, which adds `osm_query` and its one prompt sentence (`server/providers/openai/tools.js`). Description customization cannot replace argument types, enum values or required fields.
+
+Voice areas live in a store owned by the action runner for the page (`src/data/areaStore.js`); the model gets an `areaId`, a rounded bounding box and a summary, never geometry. `resolve_area` (`src/voice/areaActions.js`, `src/data/areaResolver.js`) checks the store, bundled Natural Earth regions, then bundled countries and states by name — a name several prominent units share returns up to four candidates unless the view is inside exactly one — and then the annotation outline ladder (`resolveAnnotationTarget`: bundled counties, Census places and neighborhoods, the guarded `/api/geocode/outline`, and Overpass only when configured). Administrative geometry is stored only when its source identity agrees with the requested unit; stale, mismatched, synthesized or otherwise unverified administrative boundaries are refused rather than relabelled. Clarification IDs use the bounded `ne:<kind>:<slug>` grammar and are accepted only from the current resolver's candidate memory. A lookup past 8 s answers `AREA_TIMEOUT` and keeps filling the caches. `around=true` asks the same ladder for the grounds enclosing a landmark (Nominatim, then the OpenFreeMap area holding it) and otherwise stores a 250 m buffer marked approximate. `analyst_query` scopes add `area`, `drawn` (newest draw-tool outline) and `annotation` (newest or named outline); region scopes use the same resolver within 3 s. Drawn outlines are a simplified copy (≤1,200 vertices); counting reads the stored geometry (`src/data/areaGeometry.js`). `find_imagery` (`src/voice/imageryActions.js`) sets the Recent Imagery box from an area, the view or the turn's pointer snapshot and pins the best acquisition; any hand change to the panel or explicit layer OFF while it searches ends the request (`DISPLACED`) without pinning or success narration. `osm_query` asks `/api/osm/features` for one curated preset in a bounded box; the route answers `OVERPASS_NOT_CONFIGURED` without an operator Overpass. Results go to the session-only `osm-places` layer and become the analyst's last answer. An explicit OSM Places OFF while the provider is pending aborts the work and prevents re-enable, result, credit and follow-up-memory commits. The voice answer deadline also aborts the client provider request, so the caller does not leave a timed-out request without a cancellation owner.
