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.

Trim the doc text this PR adds (README, CHANGELOG, CURRENT-STATE,
KNOWN-ISSUES, SECURITY, DATA_SOURCES, .env.example, the CI job comment),
drop code comments that restate the code, cut design-note JSDoc to a line
or two, and drop review tags from test names. Comments only; no code
changes.
Also: README key count (seven keys, two metered), CURRENT-STATE's gate
paragraph (CI runs a production build with a dummy token), the stacked
doc above meshBoxInRange and the orphaned inMeshRange line in
coverage.js, and a duplicate ALPR row in DATA_SOURCES that a merge had
brought back.

From the test-engineering review of #768: the rendering and panel code had
thin unit coverage (coverage.js 29% of lines, sequences/viewer/selection
~30%, cameraFollow 50%, streetLevelControls only source-text checks), and
two shipped bugs were caught only by the manual browser gate.
- coverage.test.mjs drives the real createCoverage against a fake scene and
a source whose tile requests the test resolves. It reproduces gekh's P0 #2:
a request superseded by retire() finishes after a newer one for the same
tile. Without the ownership checks it drops the newer request's key and a
refresh starts a duplicate whose lines nothing can remove (fails on the old
loadTile, passes now). It also covers the draped-to-cast swap keeping both
line sets on the globe until the cast one is built and clear() removing
both mid-swap, and a tile with nothing castable not being rebuilt.
- coverageFixture.mjs encodes Mapillary-shaped coverage tiles (sequence
lines, overview points) from lon/lat; the tests and the hermetic gate use it.
- cameraFollow.test.mjs pins the underground-camera fix: a -14,886 m sample
is ignored for bare earth, a plausible sample wins, and following stands at
eye height. Three of the four fail on the pre-fix module (the first reports
"centre at -14884 m").
- streetLevelControls.test.mjs is a contract test through the real
DataLayerManager and LayerStateCoordinator: a 360 deg click and a SINCE
release reach the durable layer state and the encoded share link under
Street Level's token. Against a stand-in layer it also covers the chip rule
(darkening the last lit chip turns the layer off, provider kept on; lighting
a dark chip is a user params request, then enable), the legend rebuilding
on a same-count swap (review #9) and the viewer resizing only on open
(review #8). With the old direct-to-layer routing, three of these fail,
including both share-link tests.
