The camera orientation controls publish whether the map is tilted and the
camera's whole-degree heading instead of writing the buttons' attributes,
and answer tilt and north-up through the globe actions store. The new
GlobeCompass renders the heading, so a rotating camera re-renders only the
compass. The store drops an unchanged camera state and keeps each clear
owner's busy state, so the buttons show the shell that answers them: a
shell replaced by a newer one, or disposed mid-clear, leaves the live
shell's state alone, and an older shell that answers again shows its own.
createOwners gains owns() and ownerOf().
Knip, configured with the application, package exports, scripts, QA
harnesses, workers, tools and tests as entry points, reports exports
that no module imports. Each was checked by hand against string-based
and namespace imports.
- Symbols that are still used inside their own module lose only the
`export` keyword (176 constants and helpers).
- Unused re-exports are removed from barrel modules (flight, military,
vessel, CCTV, directions, transit history, local ADS-B and street-level
policy modules).
- Declarations that nothing uses at all are deleted, among them
AIS_WATCHDOG_STATUSES, applyFilter, isRadioCountryCode, compactText,
DENSITY_STOPS, the unused CCTV endpoint constants, and the SDR band
constants.
- Default exports that nothing imports are removed. The ones in
src/data/earthquakes.js, src/data/telegeographySubmarineCables.js,
src/data/wind.js and src/data/bhoteKoshiLocator.js each constructed a
layer instance at import time that nothing used; those instances are
no longer created.
Every export of a package.json entry stays, as does TOMTOM_CREDIT,
which the traffic layer reads from the credits namespace it is given.
Fixes the 51 P0–P2 findings from the full review of the i18n branch and
the issues found while checking every new string on screen in ru and es.
- Translate errors and statuses that still reached ru/es in English:
feed and tile errors, provider statuses, the ALPR chip, the traffic
mode chip, voice plan step labels, fire feed values, receiver bands,
scene save reasons and the Cesium attribution link.
- Show preset city names in the UI language (src/ui/placeNames.js);
data and everything sent to the model stay English.
- Share layer names between the layer panel, HUD and voice card
(src/ui/layerNames.js).
- Keep long ru/es strings whole: voice card error lines, analyst
titles, the voice tier status, the Nepal evidence button, the ALPR
retry chip. English layout is unchanged.
- Ask before a language switch drops unsaved work.
- Catalog fixes: glossary terms (пуск, пресет), gender agreement and
consistent "peticiones" in es, fewer calques in both languages.
- Fix English text that was itself wrong (e.g. "Exit cockpit to fly to
a weather", raw tool ids in voice plan steps).
Catalogs: es/ru 2535 messages each, complete.

Mark every UI string the unmarked-text check reported (534) plus text it
cannot see (helpers, joined labels, runtime-built panels), and translate
the result to Spanish and Russian: 1,679 messages each.
- Kept on purpose, with the reason where the text lives: provider and
product names, place and camera names, codes and units, dB values, the HUD
terminal readouts, demo shot titles that saved projects look up by title,
and text for AI tools and the voice model.
- Modules shared with the server or AI tools stay free of the i18n import
(local msg); the wind reading and voice session stay English and are
translated where the page shows them.
- npm test now runs the unmarked-text check.
- Fixes on the way: a duplicated radio privacy paragraph, the contact panel
toggle saying Expand while open, the CSS filter mistaking & for CSS.

## Explore the map without losing your target
Tilt and north-up used to stop tracking an aircraft or satellite. Both controls now keep the selected target centered while easing into the new angle over 650 ms, preserving camera range. Tilt switches between top-down and oblique views; north-up takes the shortest rotation. Rapid presses reverse a pending tilt, and pressing north-up during a tilt completes both changes.
New navigation, target selection, map gestures, and teardown cancel the transition. Cockpit keeps its existing camera guard.
## A data panel that follows how you explore
The panel now has five clearly labeled sections:
| Section | Layer order |
| --- | --- |
| Movement | Satellites → Live Flights → Military Flights → Live Vessels → Street Traffic → Bike Share |
| Cameras | Cameras → Mapped ALPR Cameras |
| Infrastructure | Mapped Installations → Data Centers → Submarine Cables → Dams |
| Events | Space Missions → Earthquakes → Active Fires |
| Utilities | Directions → Radio |
Readable panel labels replace CCTV, Bikeshare, Datacenters, and provider-heavy names. Source attribution remains in the subtitles, and toggle accessibility labels match the visible names. Presentation order is independent of layer registration; hidden layers stay hidden and unlisted layers remain available under Other layers.
## Validation
- Camera changes: full Node 24 suite, including allocation gates — 3,699 passing and one skipped.
- Final panel changes: 42 focused tests passed; browser inspection confirmed all sections, ordering, and labels.
- Real Cesium Camera/EntityView tests cover moving aircraft, low/high satellites, cancellation, navigation ownership, and rapid button presses.
- Live browser: UITMSAT-2 remained centered and selected through tilt and north-up, including combined commands.
- Final formatting, package-boundary checks, and production build pass.
- GitHub CI verifies the final head on Node 24, Node 26, and Windows onboarding before merge.
Supersedes #442 by @yashveeeeeeer, ported onto the current component layout with fixes from review.
Verified before merge: format, package boundaries, unit suite, build, and the browser tracking suite; a browser harness for the change where one applies; adversarial review applied.
