Vessels move only when a poll lands, yet enabling the layer held the
continuous render loop for its lifetime, so a parked vessels-only scene
rendered every frame. The layer now:
- requests a frame for every forced visibility pass (new data, selection);
- leaves one trailing frame when the camera moved inside the 800 ms
visibility cadence, so the view the camera stopped on is evaluated. It is
keyed to camera motion alone: the pass's own label publication requests a
frame, and scheduling on that looped at ~1.2 Hz;
- holds 'ais-vessels' only while focus emphasis is animating.
The 80 ms focus pass, which runs while anything is tracked, also skips hidden
sprites whose focus state is at rest (new spriteFocusAtRest) and whose alpha
is already 1: advancing them changes nothing, and with a 12k worldwide feed
they are most of the fleet.
Measured: a parked vessels-only scene (headless SwiftShader) went from
continuous mode and 28 frames in 5 s to idle and 0; horizon visibility had no
mismatches after the camera moved and settled. The focus pass over 12,000
vessels (11,353 hidden) went from ~4.0 ms to ~1.2 ms.

- Voice layer manifest (src/voice/layerManifest.js) generates the layer enums,
aliases and analyst field hints; a test fails when a catalog layer has no entry.
- analyst_query validates fields, operators, units, values and scopes, counts up
to 250,000 loaded records per layer, reports complete/partial/unanswered, tells
LAYER_OFF / NOT_READY / FEED_UNAVAILABLE apart from zero, refuses mismatched
follow-ups and never lets a superseded query replace follow-up memory. Seven
more layers expose analyst records.
- Tool results carry a code-built say line and a display card; the voice card in
the mic control shows captions, plan steps and the result
(src/voice/resultDisplay.js is the one adapter). Slow tools narrate their
current step out of band; holding Space while the assistant talks cuts it off.
Turn spans go to the debug log; caption transcription is metered; the log
omits what was said unless GEV_VOICE_LOG_CONTENT=1.
- Point and ask: the Space-down pointer snapshot resolves "this", "that one" and
"around here" through 'pointer' targets, and "the second one" through
referent:n from the last numbered list.
- Prompt states each policy once (instructions + tools 48.5k -> 46.7k chars).
- Voice benchmark harness (scripts/qa-voice-bench.mjs, scripts/voice-bench/)
shares its phrase table and grading with scripts/qa-voice-routing.mjs.
NHC stamps an advisory with its nominal time and writes it about half an
hour early, so the 5-minute future limit rejected the whole feed each
advisory cycle and the layer showed no storms. Allow 90 minutes ahead.
Traffic roads come from OpenFreeMap vector tiles, or TomTom flow tiles with a
key (Hybrid by default). Military areas use OpenFreeMap polygons with a bundled
worldwide name index; wide views show named points. ALPR reads an hourly
OpenStreetMap extract. Cockpit place context and country, state and US county
outlines use bundled Natural Earth and US Census data. Overpass is used only
when an operator configures their own endpoint.
Also: camera arrivals no longer land below ground, keyless terrain retries on
429, bounded relation geometry for configured Overpass, one shared
OpenStreetMap credit, and separate tile and API transports for embedders.

As more sources arrive, each one reads the same everywhere it appears: its
PROVIDERS chip, coverage lines, overview points, image cones and a single
legend swatch. The palette lives in one place, PROVIDER_COLORS in
src/layers/streetLevel/policy.js: Mapillary green (#05cb63), Panoramax
purple, Google Street View blue.
Mapillary drops its age dimming and magenta panoramas: lines and overview
points are Mapillary green, cones are green too and 360° images keep their
ring shape; the 360°/FLAT filter still separates them, and the selected
sequence stays GEV cyan.
The provider contract loses `legend`: `colors.coverage` is the source's one
colour, and the core composes the legend as one swatch per active source
(its name, its colour) followed by Selected. The chip group takes an
optional per-chip colour as a `--chip-color` CSS variable, written only
when it changes; Street Level chips show it as a swatch dot and, while on,
as the chip's border, text and a faint fill.
The feature gate checks the legend has one swatch per source plus Selected
and that the Mapillary chip carries #05cb63.

The panel changed the imagery filter and provider switches by calling the
layer directly, which bypasses the data manager's params request, the only
path saved state and share links record. A link copied after picking 360°
or a SINCE window came back with the defaults.
The controls now send those changes through
dataManager.setLayerParams('street-level', ..., { origin: 'user' }), as
the CCTV panel does; the layer applies them through its own setParams.
The feature gate's 360° step now asserts the share hash carries `0.p.p`;
it times out on the previous controls.

fetchTile coalesced concurrent requests for one tile onto a single
upstream fetch, but that fetch ran on the first caller's signal. When the
first request was abandoned (an older pan), every joined request lost a
tile it still needed; and a joined caller that aborted stayed subscribed
until the shared fetch finished.
A flight now owns its AbortController and counts waiters, the pattern the
weather and wind providers use. Each caller's own abort rejects that caller
at once; the upstream fetch is cancelled only when the last waiter leaves,
and a later request after that starts a fresh fetch.
Regression tests (fail on the previous tiles.js, pass now): a joined
request survives the first caller aborting with one upstream request; a
joined caller that aborts leaves at once while the first still gets the
tile; both waiters leaving cancels the owned fetch.
Reported by kvnloo in review.

Brings in #744 (share-link token ledger). package.json: keep the branch's
sorted scripts and add layer-token:next and layer-token:check.
Street Level's token moves from the provisional `3` to `0`: following
CONTRIBUTING, the provisional entry was removed and
`npm run layer-token:next -- street-level` assigned `0` (free digits in
order). It is added to the registry and to
src/data/layerStateTokenReservations.json, and
`npm run layer-token:check -- --base-ref upstream/main` passes (28
published, 1 new). No link with the provisional token was ever published.
Pinned token tests move with the ledger as CONTRIBUTING asks: 29
reservations, next free digit `3`, and the competing-PR and retired-digit
scenarios shift up one free digit (0->3, 3->4) so they still test the same
rules. The README share examples and the free-digit notes in
CONTRIBUTING and CURRENT-STATE now read `0`.

Opening a photo frames it from 140 m behind using scene.sampleHeight for
the ground. Before the Google 3D tiles under the photo have loaded, that
sample can be kilometres wrong: an Austin 360 photo sampled -14,886 m and
the camera flew to -14,811 m. A sample now counts only when it is a
plausible surface height and, once the bare-earth height is known, lies
within -15/+80 m of it; otherwise the bare-earth height is used. FOLLOW's
eye height goes through the same check.

Draped ground polylines and clamped billboards land on the top of the
Google Photorealistic 3D mesh, so on a street under trees or an overpass
the coverage seemed to float at roof height.
At street zoom on Google 3D (camera below 1,400 m, back above 1,800 m)
the core switches to a `terrain` surface mode. groundCast.js samples the
existing terrain service on the ground-floor grid (0.001 deg), interpolates
bilinearly and adds 2 m; Mapillary lines become plain polylines at those
heights, and cones and the position marker stand on the street, so the
mesh hides what is behind buildings and trees. A tile draws draped first
and swaps to its cast lines once the heights arrive, keeping the old lines
until the new primitives are ready. Lookups are once per tile and aborted
when the tile is dropped; a geoid fallback counts as unknown and leaves
lines draped. Other map stacks and higher views are unchanged.
Providers get getSurface() and groundCaster in their context and an
optional setSurface(mode); getUIState() exposes `surface`. The QA gate
checks draped on Esri and terrain on Google 3D.

npm test is the only suite CI runs, and its discovery walked src/ alone, so
server/providers/transitHistory.test.mjs has never executed since it was
added. Its 8 tests pass, so this was silent coverage loss rather than a hidden
failure: the file reads like covered code in review and never ran anywhere.
Add server/ to the searched roots, and pin the property with a test that walks
the repository itself and compares the two sets, so a tree added later without
updating the roots fails loudly instead of going quiet.
Suite goes from 5090 to 5099 tests, 0 failures: the 8 tests in that file plus
the regression test added here.
Dogfoods the convention rather than describing it: the entry for #787 arrives
as `changelog.d/787-changelog-fragments.md` and `CHANGELOG.md` is untouched.
A fragment needs the pull request number, which only exists once the pull
request is open, so it lands in a second commit. `changelog.d/README.md` says
to push first and add the fragment after, for the same reason.
Checked against the one consumer that constrains the design: assembling this
fragment moves the `DISPLAY ▸ Draw` marker in `CHANGELOG.md` by exactly the
length of the spliced entry, and the 1200-character window that
`src/annotations/drawTool.test.mjs` slices after it is byte-identical.
`CONTRIBUTING.md` asks every runtime change to add an entry at the top of
`CHANGELOG.md`, so two pull requests in flight write into the same few lines and
git has nothing to merge on. Against `main` at `81eb443`, `git merge-tree` over
the 85 open pull requests GitHub reports as conflicting that aren't mine puts
`CHANGELOG.md` in the conflict set of 41 — more than any other path — and for 6
it is the only one. `docs/CURRENT-STATE.md`, the other file rule 3 names,
conflicts for 23, and merges cleanly for 23 of the 41: edits land in the section
for the area you touched, so they only collide when the areas do.
A pull request now adds `changelog.d/<pull request>-<slug>.md` instead. Distinct
filenames never conflict, and the pull request number makes them distinct for
free. `npm run changelog` splices the directory into `CHANGELOG.md` and empties
it; `npm run changelog:check` reports the batch and changes nothing.
Fragment text is copied through unchanged apart from trailing whitespace.
`src/annotations/drawTool.test.mjs` reads `CHANGELOG.md` as prose and slices a
fixed window after a heading, so an assembler that reflowed an entry could move
text across that window. Fragments are deliberately outside
`scripts/format-scope.json` for the same reason.
The assembler refuses a batch before writing anything when a filename is not
`<pull request>-<slug>.md` or two fragments claim one pull request number, and
a unit test runs that check over the real `changelog.d/`, so a fragment the
release could not assemble fails `npm test` in the pull request that adds it
rather than at release time.
Refs #781.
`mapAnalystRecord` has always published `verticalRateMps`, but the tracked
seam — `getTrackedInfo()` / `getTrackedSubject()`, built by `_describeFlight`
— did not, so anything needing climb/descent had to reach past the public
descriptor into the raw poll record.
Both layers now map it, which matters because they store it under different
keys: the civil records write `verticalRate` (records.js), the military ones
write `verticalRateMps`. Mapping only one would leave
`resolveTrackedAircraftInfo()` handing back two different shapes, and a
consumer reading the field off a civil contact would silently read every
military contact as level flight.
Reported, never derived. `stickyNumber` seeds the field with null, so an
aircraft that has not transmitted a rate publishes null rather than a
level-flight 0 — absent is not level, and a flight-phase classifier that
cannot tell them apart calls a climbing aircraft cruise.
Tests: both layers, both halves (a reported rate arrives with its sign; an
absent one stays null). Mutation-verified — removing either field or
defaulting it to 0 turns them red.
`docs/CURRENT-STATE.md` records the descriptor field, the two record keys it
reconciles, and the reported-never-derived rule.
