From review of the news layer:
- An event's other sides older than 24 hours (or undated) are no longer
listed, and a report dated more than 15 minutes ahead is outside the
window, as in the regional brief.
- Picture cards are one canvas per event in a bounded cache (24), repainted
in place when the age changes, with each card's picture dropped with it;
the age in the key had made a new canvas every minute.
- The feed list drops reports that leave the window and is capped at 600.
- "In view" is filtered from the reports the layer already holds; it reads
the feed only with minor news on, once per refresh, never per pan.
- Infinite scroll restarts after a filter change or a failed read.
- The two filter selects stack, so "Significant and above" is not cut off.
- The timeout tests hold the event loop until aborted, so they pass on
Node 22 as well.
Events ▸ News draws the last 24 hours of reports from curated hotspots
(Ukraine–Russia, Israel–Gaza–Lebanon, Iran–Hormuz, Yemen–Red Sea, Sudan,
Sahel) and developing situations elsewhere, from any server that answers the
`/api/news` read routes.
- Globe: one marker per merged event, clamped to the ground and culled at the
horizon; one beacon per hotspot when zoomed out and a pulsing beacon for a
developing situation; hotspot outlines with disputed areas dotted and
labelled by who administers and who claims them; picture cards for at most
ten major or fast-growing events with two or more sources, never
overlapping, switchable off.
- Panel: hotspot chips, a severity filter (significant and above by default),
categories, minor news off by default, and a scrolling list of event cards
with picture, headline, place, sources, age and the sides that reported it.
"In view" lists what is near the map below 3,000 km once the camera
settles. A card flies the globe to its event and opens it with a link to
the publisher. Reduced motion stops the pulse and the flights.
- Core serves no news itself: the local server proxies GEV_NEWS_ORIGIN when it
is set, and answers 503 unavailable otherwise, so the layer reads "not
configured" once instead of retrying.
- Share token 9 (enabled-only); voice stays off for this layer.
Regional News showed "REGIONAL NEWS UNAVAILABLE" above populated rows and a
static "RECENT" footer over months-old articles. The status banner kept
`display: grid` when hidden, every non-empty answer carried the unavailable
text, and nothing limited or sorted articles by age.
- One window (regionalNewsWindow.js, 24 h): the local proxy asks Google News
with `when:1d` and GDELT for 24 h, drops undated, older or future-dated
articles, sorts newest first, and reports newsWindowHours/newsFetchedAt.
- The Cockpit labels four states: fresh (banner hidden, "LAST 24 H"),
kept after a failed refresh ("CACHED · REFRESH FAILED"), no news in the
window, and unavailable. The footer lives in the news state, so it
survives page and tab changes, and the client drops out-of-window rows.
- `.cockpit-brief-status[hidden]` now hides the banner.
With main merged, the Overpass prompt measured 55,549 against the 55,500 ceiling. The pitchDeg and direction descriptions now read 'Absolute; -89 top-down.' and 'Needed for pan/rotate/tilt steps', bringing it to 55,497. The schema pin and the measured-size note follow.
Recent community wildlife observations, as a new Wildlife group in the
layer panel.
- Server: keyless iNaturalist proxy (v2 observations with only the
projected fields; undocumented v1 UTFGrid density tiles, decoded on the
server) sharing one paced queue (burst 4, ~1/s, 60/min, 8,000/day budget,
up to four in flight), in-memory caches and upstream-only cooldowns;
Acartia Salish Sea marine-mammal feed rounded to 0.01 degrees with
comments dropped.
- Layer: grid counts drawn as a soft view-ranked density glow; real sampled
sightings as taxon badges at their true positions with ambient photo
thumbnails and labels; obscured records stay privacy cells; a clicked
sighting stays pinned through camera moves and refreshes.
- Anchored photo card per selection with the single iNaturalist link;
attribution in the layer row and the Data attribution popover.
- Filters (CONFIRMED, taxa presets) round-trip in share links with token 9.

A new Events layer maps shipwrecks with a card per wreck:
- EMODnet Human Activities heritage shipwrecks (about 6,500 in European
waters, CC BY 4.0), skipping rows taken from wrecksite.eu.
- Wikidata shipwrecks with a Wikipedia article plus sinking events
(CC0); an event folds into its ship for the date and death toll.
- A same-origin /api/shipwrecks proxy refreshes once a day and serves
the last snapshot as stale for up to a week.
Markers are a boat icon coloured by era and sized by deaths; four era
chips filter the layer. The card follows the air-accidents layout
(deaths first). Text that names people is dropped; victims appear as
a count only.

- A tilt's angle, limits and "unchanged" check use the camera's own
pitch. At regional range the pivot pitch is up to about 8 degrees
shallower, so "tilt to 5 degrees" from 900 km ended at -12.9 degrees.
The swing now solves for the pivot pitch that gives the camera angle.
- A zoom out during a pivoting tilt stops at the 1,000 km pivot limit
instead of the orbit's 5,000 km, and a zoom in that reaches the
clearance is applied before the pivot ends.
- An angle the camera already holds still takes navigation, so it stops
a running motion and releases the follow camera.
- A motion queued behind a fly-to moves to a newer fly-to as soon as it
begins, so a stalled lookup no longer holds it past a flight that
landed. Wait listeners are removed when a wait ends, and a lookup that
found nothing points straight at the flight that moved.
- A fly-to that stops a running motion names it (stoppedMotion).
- A tilt left or right is refused, and the pitchDeg description says
steps use direction.
Cockpit entry no longer needs Contacts or both flight feeds: a civilian
aircraft needs Live Flights, a military one Military Flights. Contacts and
every other layer can be turned on or off before or during a session, and
turning off the ridden layer ends it. A Context mode change in flight still
blocks entry.
When the other air feed is off, Live Signals and the Contact card say
FLIGHTS FEED OFF or MILITARY FEED OFF · PARTIAL PICTURE instead of
presenting a partial picture as complete. Voice refuses entry with
subject-layer-off rather than contacts-inactive, and its tool description
says Contacts is not required.
Double-clicking the followed aircraft enters Cockpit through the same gate.
The Cockpit takes the scene's double-click before Cesium's stock handler,
which would otherwise untrack a followed aircraft whose model is a
primitive. The entry also shows under the Intel HUD readout, sharing the
Contacts button's face. A test keeps the classes the Cockpit adds to the
body from matching another element's rule.
NASA stopped delivering Suomi NPP data on 2026-11-02 (FIRMS news page).
With a live MAP_KEY on 2026-11-04, VIIRS_SNPP_NRT came back ok with zero
rows while NOAA-20, NOAA-21 and MODIS returned 57k, 49k and 11k, so the
source only spent one transaction per refresh. The proxy now requests
NOAA-20, NOAA-21 and MODIS NRT. The "N" satellite label stays, so cached
or archived Suomi NPP rows still read SNPP.
Tests count sources from the list instead of assuming four, and a
regression test keeps the retired source out of the production list.

TranStar's `dir` field is the side of the freeway a camera sits on, not
the way it faces. TranStar's own map script (translateCameraDirection)
shows it as "Traffic closest to the camera is traveling": South is
eastbound, North westbound, West southbound and anything else
northbound. The live catalog agrees: I-10 cameras are North/South and
I-45 cameras East/West.
Treating `dir` as a high-confidence facing pointed most Houston cameras
across or away from the road they watch, and dropped the "estimated"
marking. Map it to the travel direction instead (S 90, N 270, W 180,
E 0) as a low-confidence prior with the low-confidence pose, and keep
the id-hash fallback for None or unknown values.
A foreign Origin or Sec-Fetch-Site: cross-site request was answered and
counted against the client's 60-a-minute quota, and could start a refresh.
Run the keyless same-site checks the other map routes use before rate
limiting and cache acquisition; reverse-proxy forwarding headers stay
accepted. List the route with the keyless map routes in SECURITY.md.
The source dropped the proxy's stale flag and fetch time, so the layer row
read nominal and freshly updated through an outage, and the proxy served its
last snapshot indefinitely. Carry stale and fetchedAt through the source as
Fire Perimeters does, date a stale snapshot by its fetch, and stop serving a
snapshot more than 24 hours old.
An upstream answer whose zones all fail validation normalized to an empty
list, and paging that stopped at the page limit while the service still
flagged more records was accepted as complete. Both were cached as a fresh
snapshot for an hour and replaced the last good one. Treat them as failed
refreshes so stale-on-error keeps serving the previous snapshot.
Main now offers osm_query, and names it in the prompt, only when Overpass
is configured. Typed chat follows the same switch on both providers: its
prompt, the tools it offers and the calls it accepts.
Re-pin the Realtime tool payload hash for the merged tree (voice geometry plus pitchDeg). To fit main's 55,500 prompt ceiling with Overpass on, the pitchDeg schema drops its -90..90 range (the runner already clamps to -89..-5, now pinned by a test) and its description is shorter. The Overpass prompt measures 55,492.
/api/osm/features keyed its rate limit and its one-search-per-client slot
by the full peer address, so an IPv6 host could rotate addresses inside
its /64 to take both global slots and slip the 12/min limit. It now uses
clientNetworkKey, as /api/overpass does.
Picks up acd87e6c: the keyless cross-site gate on /api/osm/features
(582bfce6) and main at 93804d5d. SECURITY.md, the format-scope list and
the schema-test comments take the branch's side; the place-search budget
wording from the timeout fix is kept.
Without a limit parameter the route read null, Number(null) is 0, and the
clamp turned that into a one-feature list. An absent or empty limit now
gets the documented default of 500.
The voice answer waited 25 s for /api/osm/features, while the server let
Overpass run for 25 s and itself waited up to 40 s per endpoint and 45 s
in all. When the browser gave up first it closed the request, the route
cancelled the upstream query, and nothing was cached, so the OSM_TIMEOUT
retry started the same query from scratch and timed out again.
The server now tells Overpass 20 s, waits 22 s per endpoint and 22 s in
all, which ends inside the client's 25 s. A test pins that ordering.
A reply stopped partway through a round now keeps the actions that ran,
answering the calls it never reached as skipped, so the history stays
paired for both providers. A failed typed turn no longer resets the
pointer, referents and follow-up memory, since its conversation continues.
The server now tells a rejected key (401, or Gemini's 400 with reason
API_KEY_INVALID, matched exactly), denied access (403) and an account out
of credit (OpenAI's 429 insufficient_quota) apart; each cools down for a
minute and gets its own message in the chat.
#1308 moved /api/overpass to the keyless cross-site gate: foreign origins
and cross-site fetches are still refused, but forwarding headers are not,
so the map works behind a reverse proxy. Voice place search spends the same
operator Overpass, so it now uses the same gate; with the stricter one,
place search failed behind a proxy while the map kept working. The prompt
lint note records the merged size, 55,370 with an operator Overpass.
Picks up #1308 (Overpass admission), #114 (Sea Marks and Ski Pistes),
#1206 (radio country coverage) and #1435. Resolutions:
- SECURITY.md: main's rewritten cross-site paragraph, with voice place
search listed beside /api/overpass among the keyless map routes.
- scripts/format-scope.json: both sides. A merge on main dropped 97 entries
(being restored there); keeping them, this PR's 12 and main's 2 new ones
keeps every file in format:check. All 1,222 paths exist.
- Translation catalogs: main's two new keys and this PR's 47, no overlap.
- Layer count 36 (33 + OSM Places + Sea Marks + Ski Pistes); both schema
pins re-derived, the first-run length is exactly 30,919 + 292 + 107.
Typed chat sessions no longer end on the voice inactivity timeout, and a
failed or stopped reply keeps the conversation: Stop cancels only the
reply in progress, and map actions that already ran stay in the model's
context. Each upstream request and map action gets its own deadline, old
tool results shrink instead of the history overflowing, and step limits,
a missing or rejected key, the OAuth lock and throttling each get their
own message.
- Server: OpenAI chat is off under GEV_PREFER_CODEX_OAUTH; chat throttles
default to the provider's throttle; replies carry API_KEY_MISSING,
API_KEY_REJECTED, CODEX_OAUTH_REQUIRED and RATE_LIMITED codes; upstream
Retry-After passes through, and a rejected key (Gemini's invalid-key 400
included) cools down for a minute
- Pinokio forwards the chat throttle settings
- UI: the reply reveal publishes only the message list; the border orbit
runs only while busy; layers attach with a button or Enter; the log is
aria-busy while a reply types out; auto-scroll respects a reader who
scrolled up; Escape closes the attach menu; the chat gear says Settings;
a note says chat bills the OpenAI key when voice uses ChatGPT sign-in
- Layout does less work while panel height animates; unused blurs removed
- Gemini voice start ends chat; the voice preview clears on every new
session
- Tests for the route gates, client limits, attachments and the fixes
Review fixes for #1506.
- Ottawa: use the documented camera list and the city's Traffic Camera
Images API. The pack is skipped with no request unless
OTTAWA_CAMERA_CERTIFICATE is set; the certificate is added only at
fetch time inside the pinned /opendata/ path, and each camera is
fetched at most once a minute through the shared frame cache.
- Québec 511 video is opt-in (CCTV_QUEBEC_VIDEO_ENABLED=1) and loads
only after the viewer presses Play; selection, auto-hop, scenes and
voice no longer contact Québec 511. Credit splits locations (MTQ,
CC BY 4.0) from video (Québec 511). Interrupted play() is no longer
reported as an unavailable source; the per-frame listener runs only
while a Québec camera is selected and the canvas rect is cached.
- Catalog cap: reserved Québec and World slots come only from capacity
above the 4,000 shared slots, so a lower CCTV_MAX_SOURCES thins every
pack instead of starving the existing ones. dev-fresh and
.env.example default to 7,516.
- Throttled frames (World, Ottawa): inside the refresh floor with no
cached frame the proxy serves the placeholder, never Street View; a
failed fetch backs off for a minute; the cache is bounded by bytes.
- MJPEG first-frame extraction runs only for sources registered as
MJPEG (Taiwan Highway Bureau), caps a frame at 2 MB, reads in linear
time, accepts a CRLF preamble and a boundary that already starts with
"--", and ends a part without Content-Length at the next delimiter.
THB hosts are registered in the redirect pin list.
- Tests: World loader policy, Québec loader and opt-in, proxy cooldown
without Street View, Ottawa signing, cap reservations at 7,516, 4,000
and 48, overlay Play gate, refresh, visibility and teardown. Guard
tests check the 4,000 shared slots again.
- Remove the unused standalone Québec preview module and public page.
- Docs: DATA_SOURCES, SECURITY, CURRENT-STATE, CCTV_INTEGRATION, README,
.env.example, changelog fragment renamed to its full scope.
Tightening the AREAS rule dropped "to outline it (draw=true)", and on Gemini
"Outline the state of Texas" stopped passing draw: none of 5 runs set it, so
the model drew the state again with annotate_map. With the clause back all 4
runs called resolve_area with draw. The prompt is 55,263 characters with an
operator Overpass, ~240 under the 55,500 ceiling.
From review:
- An answer the view picked ("Springfield" over Illinois) is reused or
shared only within the same ~2° view cell, so asking again elsewhere no
longer gets the first state's area.
- Admin names compare with accents folded on Latin letters only: "Quebec"
matches "Québec" and "Cordoba" asks between Argentina and Spain, while a
Thai or Devanagari mark still tells names apart.
- A Natural Earth name used by several features is one place with every
part when they touch (the Great Rift Valley, the Lau Group across 180°)
and a question when they are far apart (Flores); natural places can now
be candidates.
- The AREAS rule and the area tool descriptions are tighter, leaving a
~270-character margin under the 55,500 prompt ceiling, and resolve_area
no longer names osm_query when that tool is not offered.
From review:
- /api/osm/features now refuses cross-site browser requests like the other
quota-bearing routes, so a page elsewhere cannot spend the operator's
Overpass. SECURITY.md lists the route, its limits and its disk cache.
- One client runs one search at a time and two run at once in all, instead
of one global slot any single client could hold.
- A search gets 45 s across every configured endpoint in turn, answered 504
when it runs out.
- A cache write no longer waits on the disk prune; prune() waits until the
cache is idle for callers that need it.
- A zoom during a pivoting tilt now scales the range the tilt holds,
as it already did for orbit, instead of being undone on the next
frame while reporting success. The zoom limits no longer move a view
the wrong way: a zoom in leaves a view closer than 80 m in place, and
a zoom out leaves an orbit beyond 5,000 km where it is.
- A grab, touch or wheel on the map while a voice fly-to is in flight
drops the motion queued behind it. Cesium lands the flight anyway,
so the orbit or tilt would otherwise take the camera back. Chained
fly-tos in one reply keep the earliest snapshot.
- A pivot tilt toward the horizon stops lowering the camera at 150 m
above the pivot and tilts the rest in place, so a close view no
longer ends inside tiles or a hillside.
- pitchDeg is an absolute angle. A direction that contradicts it is
refused, judged from the pitch the swing starts at, and the tool
description says so.
The /api/osm/features cache key was the query alone, kept for a day, so after
an operator repointed OVERPASS_UPSTREAMS the old instance's answers were still
served. The key now includes the configured-upstream tag, as main's other
Overpass caches check it, so a new instance is always asked.
