Cesium's default Tycho-2 sky box is six 1024² JPEGs stretched 3–6× around
the whole-globe view, so space read as an over-compressed JPEG (HAL-627).
The scene now draws its own sky in the Scene#skyBox slot: the 9,096 stars
of the Yale Bright Star Catalogue as point sprites sized in CSS pixels
(magnitude → width and opacity, B−V → colour), over a soft, star-free
Milky Way cube map built from ESO/S. Brunier's panorama (CC BY 4.0). Both
layers share one ICRF→Earth-fixed rotation at the scene clock, with the
TEME rotation filling in until Cesium's IAU 2006 tables load.
Assets total 482 KB, built by scripts/build-bright-stars.mjs and
scripts/build-milky-way.mjs. Frame time and the idle render governor are
unchanged.

Reconcile #880 with current main. Delegate the view-state builder while keeping enabled-only layers, disabledLayerCount, provenance, context semantics, and existing voice behavior. Add parity and roster-read regressions; retain package export, boundaries and changelog fragment.
Preserve original GEV voice, layer and packet contributor credit.
Carry reviewed #816 onto current main without conflicts; preserve i18n updates, replace obsolete changelog edit with a fragment, and add a constructor-wiring regression alongside the owner and rail tests.

main now rejects out-of-range coordinates at the proxy itself (19fcc00b), the
same check this branch added. main's version is kept, and the changelog entry
no longer claims that part; the cache cap, file ceiling and rate limit remain.
Number() reads null, blank strings and booleans as 0 (or 1), and
/api/cctv/sources sends an unknown number as JSON null. A source-pack
camera that left out its pose therefore reached the browser as zeros
clamped to each field's floor (north, pitch -2, FOV 20, range 120 m,
mount 6 m, ground 0 m) instead of taking the defaults, and a null or
blank position put the camera at 0,0.
toFiniteNumber (server) and safeNumber (browser) now return the fallback
for absent, blank and boolean values, as validateBox already does for
Recent Imagery. The same conversion fixes the per-pack paths: a Tallinn
row with a null heading no longer reads as a high-confidence north-facing
camera, a Caltrans camera with a blank elevation keeps its 150 m ground
prior, and TfL or Catalonia cameras with a null or blank coordinate are
dropped instead of kept at 0,0 or on the zero meridian.
Port to current main: main reserved layer-state token 0 for street-level, so
air-quality takes the next free token, 4 (registry, ledger, and the allocation
tests shift by one). Main moved source contracts into sourceComposition.js, so
air-quality registers its getSnapshot contract there. Package boundaries keep
main's lists plus this branch's air-quality modules and packages.
Image loading (photoViewer.js)
- One AbortController per open: a new open, close or unmount stops the
previous photo's first and sharper downloads (an <img> by src = '').
A collapsed viewer never falls back to the original; Panoramax's flat
fallback is the thumbnail. A superseded open resolves quietly.
- Flat HD tracked as "loading" and "shown" apart: a discarded response no
longer blocks later upgrades, and resizes while it loads ask once.
- No upgrade of the photo still shown while another opens.
- Size limits before decoding: imageSize.js reads JPEG/PNG/WebP/GIF
headers; more than 64 MP or 16,384 px a side is refused undecoded, an
<img> that decodes larger is refused and let go, flat HD needs a known
width of at most 8,192 px, and panoramas always decode with a resize.
Panoramax provider
- Retry-After parsed as seconds or an HTTP date; the browser cannot read
it here, so busy answers back off 5 s doubling to 300 s, reset once
answered.
- Headers timed, then the body by an idle timeout (15 s of silence), so a
slow link still gets its megabyte tiles.
- Cones centre only on the picture shown (onShowing), never on a late
lookup; lookups nobody waits for are aborted (shared, refcounted).
- onReopen: a GPU reset redraws in the viewer, not through the core.
- Cones draw the home z15 tile at once and add neighbours as they arrive;
a neighbour that failed is not counted as drawn.
- Coverage tiles decode in ~8 ms slices (a 2 MB z10 tile over Paris was
one ~85-200 ms task); sorted by measured length without a Map.
- Box search asks for 20, not 100 (the API returns them nearest first).
- looksLikeEmail checks every '@'; creatorOf de-duplicates with a Set.
lineCoverage.js
- A redraw while a swap still builds keeps what is on screen (the swap's
old lines and its ready new ones) and drops only the unready ones.
Tests for each (mutation-checked), two vacuous tests made real, the
cones' pictures lane and readable()'s busy/timeout paths covered; the
fixture's box search is nearest first. Docs: README filters and share
links, CHANGELOG HD wording, CURRENT-STATE.

CHANGELOG: keep both new [Unreleased] entries (Panoramax, and the
emergency-transponder highlight from #856).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
Keep both: Catalonia CCTV alongside the NYC DOT TMC pack in the source
imports, README layer table and CURRENT-STATE data table, and both
CHANGELOG entries.

Normalize GeoJSON ground footprints, preserve explicit KML track heights,
and tessellate ground paths before native loading. Validate coordinates,
geometry types and decoded image budgets before allocating native resources;
strip loader-sensitive metadata and settle deferred failures and cancellation.
Render static pins in owned billboard collections instead of walking tens
of thousands of point entities each frame. Refine nearby ground heights in
batches, isolate imported pins from height picks, and release owned resources
and point selections on removal. Use safe ray origins above a hidden coarse
globe and retain valid mesh heights outside the current footprint.
Frame complete geometry with viewport-aware nadir arrivals, including walls
and rotated overlays; respect camera gestures and accept document file drops.
Strengthen real-loader, native 3D Tiles, paint, clock and lifecycle coverage.
Addresses both P1 and all 25 P2 findings in the follow-up review of #1122.
Preserve upstream changes, restore the reviewed Radio ownership regression,
and retain reporter raysung-2026 credit and #804 provenance.
Reconciles upstream main 81cf437 and PR #816 head 702ecc3; no force push.
Keep this branch's CHANGELOG entry above upstream's; upstream main no longer lists the GBFS station-name entry an earlier merge carried here.

Seven QA scripts hard-coded macOS Google Chrome. They now share chromeExecutablePath(): PUPPETEER_EXECUTABLE_PATH when set, then macOS Chrome when installed, otherwise Puppeteer's managed browser. The cables screenshot path is built with fileURLToPath so it works on Windows. qa-overlay-baseline keeps its fixed Chrome because its baselines record the executable.

KartaView's later viewer changes are carried into the shared
photoViewer.js: the camera bearing (`bearingOf`), redrawing the same
photo after a GPU reset through `onReopen`, no pose while a lost context
recovers, the 2,560 px flat version only once the viewer outgrows
1,280 px, `refreshPose`, and one sharper-panorama load at a time with a
second look once it lands. Its tile cache's `keyOf` and `clear` move to
the shared tileCache.js. KartaView gets `onEscape` beside `onReopen`.

Esc moved to the viewer's box (`.sl-viewer-wrap`) in the last commit, but
without one it was a second keydown listener on the root; Esc is now taken
by the root's own handler there. format-scope.json listed
panorama.test.mjs twice, which made the formatter refuse the scope; the
files it skipped are formatted.

From a five-lens IC8 review (correctness, security, tests with mutation
testing, performance, UX):
- P0: over Paris at 12–60 km the unsimplified z10–z12 lines sent ~2M
points to Cesium's ground-polyline builder (gigabytes of geometry; the
tab hung). decode.js now simplifies lines (Douglas–Peucker, 4 tile
units: 6–10% of the points), and lineCoverage gains an opt-in point
budget (`maxPoints`, 10,000 a tile for Panoramax).
- Decoded coverage tiles are kept (KartaView's tile cache moves to the
shared tileCache.js); a sequence's z15 picture lists are kept and load
on their own connection; cones know their tiles from the start of a
load, so a picture opening meanwhile re-centres them and ‹ › no longer
restarts the load.
- The HD panorama loads only for the expanded viewer (a docked one on a
dense screen asked for 3 MB originals) and is aborted when another
photo opens; picture files over 48 MB or 16,384 px are refused; a
bitmap no renderer took after a context loss is closed.
- A nearest lookup survives one of its two searches failing; only a
timeout is retried; offline reads as unreachable; Retry-After is
capped at five minutes; the search box stays on the map at ±180°;
cones near both edges of a narrow (high-latitude) tile read both.
- Every producer is credited (app and photographer); with none to name,
the caption says "via <instance>" rather than crediting the host.
- Esc anywhere in the docked viewer (toolbar, caption) clears the
sequence before the panel takes it. A filter that hides every density
dot says so; wording aligned ("coverage", "photo").
- Tests for every surviving mutant (Esc consumed, keepOrder and dot-size
wiring, licence in the core, limiter aborts, radius floor, bbox corner,
first-producer-only, byte and size caps), a limiter test, and a gate
fixture that answers box searches and leaves out pictures facing away;
the gate now clicks over the other sequence's pictures, so only the
line click's own-sequence lookup can pass.

Panoramax, the open federated street-level commons, registers beside
Mapillary, Google Street View and KartaView. Its meta-catalogue
(api.panoramax.xyz) is keyless and CORS-open, so it runs in the browser:
- coverage from its vector tiles: sequence lines at z11–14 below 30 km
(longest first under the per-tile cap), and above that the grid layer's
density cells as binned points, not counted as sequences;
- a click on a line opens that sequence's picture nearest the click
(STAC search, any direction), without moving the camera, then any
sequence's if it has none within 50 m; the 360° and since filters go to
the lines and to the API;
- cones from the z15 tiles' pictures layer around the open picture
(~110 bytes a picture, against ~7.5 kB for a STAC item), re-centred when
a picture opens outside them; ‹ › follow the picture's prev/next links;
- the caption names the author (not an account named by an email
address) and the picture's licence (StreetPose `license`), and links to
the picture in the Panoramax viewer; the globe credits Panoramax.
KartaView's viewer becomes the shared photoViewer.js (flat <img>, 360° on
panorama.js, ‹ ›, keyboard, pinch, context loss), driven by a per-provider
PhotoSources table; the request limiter moves to limiter.js. Panoramax shows
the 2,048 px SD derivative and fetches the HD original only when the viewer
is wide enough, once, shrunk while it decodes (never above 8,192 px).
Orange #ff6f00 (Panoramax's own), off by default, share option
0.m.0_0.r.panoramax-1. The MCP panel allows the meta-catalogue and the
biggest instances. Tests: policy, decode, source, viewer, provider, and a
Panoramax fixture in the hermetic browser gate.
