KartaView's server filters by upload date only, so SINCE goes by it
throughout for KartaView: the lines (as before), the photo a click opens
and the cones, the cut-off taken as its UTC day as KartaView's startDate
(passesKartaViewFilter). Providers may declare sinceBasis: 'upload'
(validated); while one is lit the panel shows "KartaView: by upload date"
under the SINCE slider, read out with it. The gate checks the note, and
step 13's picks get 60 s on a loaded machine.

KartaView filters coverage on its server only in its PNG tiles (its JSON
tiles come back empty with a filter), so a filtered tile's PNG is a mask
over the cached JSON segments: a segment stays when at least half the
points along it lie on drawn pixels. A filter change reloads the lines
(lineCoverage.reload keeps the drawn ones until the new ones are in);
masks are cached per filter and tile, and a filtered tile KartaView is
still drawing (504 or a timeout) is asked again, four tries in all.
The nearest lookup asks the photo API for the projection and date, and
the cones follow the filter like Mapillary's. The gate fixture draws
filtered PNG tiles and adds an older flat-only street; a new gate step
checks 360 and LAST YEAR thin KartaView's lines and ALL brings them back.

Marker and direction (reported on the PR):
- KartaView has its own marker, a purple view cone (Street View's is
blue), not GEV's default pin that Mapillary uses.
- The camera direction (marker, cones, FOLLOW, a panorama's centre) is
the direction of travel to the next photo a few metres on. KartaView's
heading is the device compass: whole drives read 0 (no compass) and
others sit a steady ~110° off. Until the drive loads the compass stands
in (0 = unknown), and the pose is sent again once the course is known.
Remaining P4s from the review of #1121:
- Segment chaining is linear (a per-point cursor) and capped at 20,000
segments a tile and 5,000 points a line: a hostile tile of 60k segments
sharing one point took 1.5 s, now tens of ms.
- Decoded tiles are dropped when KartaView is switched off.
- No network / a refused request says so and is not retried as a timeout;
an unreadable answer says so.
- A docked flat photo skips the 2,560 px download until the viewer grows.
- The panel counts the drive's photos (countActivePhotos), not the thinned
page of cones (2,250, not 217).
- After a GPU reset the viewer redraws the photo itself, so a lookup the
user started is not cancelled; a failure is still reported.
- The gate's keyless page lights KartaView and checks it draws with no key;
the fixture answers the sequence count; the line-click step checks the
camera looks along the drive when the compass says 200°.
- README/CHANGELOG show the share-link form the app writes.

NYC DOT asks developers who use its camera feed to sign a data-sharing
agreement, and this project does not hold one that covers downstream
installs. The pack now loads only when CCTV_NYC_ENABLED=1; unset, empty
or any other value makes no request to webcams.nyctmc.org (tested).
The NYC credit carries NYC DOT's requested application disclaimer
verbatim, and DATA_SOURCES, README, CHANGELOG, CURRENT-STATE and
.env.example describe the prerequisite.

From the IC8 review of #1121 (2 P2, 7 P3; each with a test that fails on
the old code):
P2
- A WebGL context lost while a newer panorama loaded left a black viewer
and a 'successful' open: the panorama now builds on the new canvas (or
falls back to its front view).
- The streaming body read every real answer takes was tested with one
chunk only: answers split mid-character are reassembled; the shared test
fake now streams, so every source test runs the production path.
P3
- Lighting another source by its chip (params) now stops a running lookup
and clears its spinner and error, as setProviderEnabled did; a restore
that changes nothing leaves them alone.
- Panoramas decode off the main thread (ImageBitmap, RGBA upload: ~90 ms →
~15 ms at 4,096 px on a phone-class CPU) and are 2,048 px docked, 4,096
once the viewer grows; a closed viewer keeps a 1×1 texture.
- The lit KARTAVIEW chip label is #8f8aff (~6:1; #635bff was 3.7:1).
- The viewer's keyboard focus ring is drawn above the photo.
- Tests: a second context loss and a drag on the new canvas; the look
direction kept across a loss; a page's 30 s first try.
- The browser gate loses a real WebGL context in the 360° step and checks
the 429 lookup was asked again (the fixture counter is reset first).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
From the second IC8 pass (launch ready; P3s closed here):
- A lost WebGL context is redrawn on a new canvas (the old one only gives
back its lost context), through the core, and only if no newer photo is
opening; verified live with WEBGL_lose_context, twice.
- The 16 MB answer cap counts bytes while reading: KartaView sends
chunked answers with no Content-Length, so the header check never fired.
- A lookup gets 8 s, then 15 s once more: KartaView sometimes sits on a
lookup for 11 s and answers the same one in 3 s.
Left as follow-ups: cancelling abandoned sequence pages; finding a page
by binary search on the index when thousands of photos are missing.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
P1s from the correctness review, each with a regression test:
- Cones showed the wrong page of a long sequence (cache keyed by
sequence; no re-centre after a close or a same-drive line click):
KartaView always reselects, and re-centres whenever a photo of the
selected sequence opens on another page.
- A 360° photo's first frame was one colour: the canvas was sized while
hidden (1×1). It is shown first, and re-measured every frame.
P2/P3s: a storage timeout or 5xx is not remembered as archived (only
403/404/409/410 are); dense z13 tiles draw up to 1,600 lines (a third of
downtown Detroit was cut); decoded tiles are kept 10 min; a timed-out tile
is asked once more; pages are 250 photos and the newest page request goes
first; a photo far past deleted ones, or unlisted at a page edge, still
finds its neighbours; a step that gets no answer is not the end; a lost
WebGL context redraws the photo, and a failed one is retried on the next
mount; the first flat image comes from the proxy (KartaView's own can be
1.7 MB); fileurl fallbacks must be https storage hosts; oversized answers
are refused; keyboard (Shift+← →, ↑ ↓, + −) and pinch look around a
panorama; focus stays in the viewer when a step button disables. Docs:
share links with 0.m.0, keyless count, CURRENT-STATE matched to the code.

The fixture gate answers api.kartaview.org, cdn.kartaview.org and
*.openstreetcam.org from fixtures (a drive with a 360° photo, stored on
storage2 while the API names storage1) and adds three steps: keyless
coverage with its credit and hidden filters, a line click opening the
nearest photo with cones and ›, and a 360° photo on the panorama without
FIT / FILL. The Street View share-link check reads the switch field instead
of one exact entry, since a chip click records every provider's switch.
README, DATA_SOURCES, CHANGELOG and CURRENT-STATE describe KartaView.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
- One provider is lit at a time: lighting a chip darkens the others, and a
chip click records every registered provider's switch in one update so
the share link keeps the swap (also off Google 3D, where Street View is
not listed). The layer starts with the first default-on provider
(Mapillary, free); params that light several keep the one already on,
so reapplying them never flips (litByParams). The now-unreachable
"several lit" chip paths are gone.
- Leaving Google 3D during a Street View lookup ends it without an error
or a stuck loading state (openImage's early return resets it; the
lookup loop rechecks availability).
- A source swap during a lookup no longer reports "no imagery".
- Street View lit off Google 3D says the panel needs the Google 3D map.
- Comments trimmed to the why; keySetupCore.test.mjs back to upstream's
formatting plus the one new test (was a 551-line reformat).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
- The chip reads GOOGLE STREET VIEW (and its caption link likewise).
- Providers declare the imagery filters they honour (`filters`, default
pano + since). Street View declares none: every panorama is 360° and it
draws no coverage to thin, so its lookups ignore the filters and the
panel hides IMAGERY and SINCE while it is the only lit provider.
- The legend lists only providers that draw coverage lines, with
Selected only beside one: Street View alone shows no legend.
- Providers may pick their on-globe marker (`marker`); Street View's is a
Google-blue field-of-view cone from a white-ringed dot, in place of
GEV's amber pin, and switches back for a Mapillary photo.

Register the keyless webcams.nyctmc.org catalog as a live CCTV source,
synthesize frame URLs from validated camera UUIDs, and keep the nearest
cameras to the five borough cores under the existing catalog ceiling.
Conflicts with upstream's Street Level provider composition and share-state
codec, resolved:
- Street View's switch moves from its own share option (`g`) to upstream's
provider-switch field (`r`, e.g. `0.r.google-1`); a link without it keeps
Street View off. Docs and the browser gate follow.
- createApplicationStreetLevel keeps upstream's injectable provider list;
its default, once the application supplies its Street Level source, is
Mapillary plus Google Street View. Without that source there are none, as
upstream intends.
- The coverage hint keeps upstream's empty-composition message and joins
every switched-on provider's hint otherwise.
- CHANGELOG, README and SECURITY keep both sides' entries.

Review of #966: with a Google Maps key but no Mapillary token, switching
Street Level on read KEY REQUIRED / "Needs MAPILLARY_CLIENT_TOKEN" with
nothing about Street View, which stayed off (billing), so the layer looked
broken.
- While the switched-on providers lack their keys, the layer reports the
switched-off ones that would draw with a key already set
(keyAlternatives: Street View on Google 3D with a Google key). The
panel's KEY REQUIRED tooltip, its coverage line and the layer row's
tooltip then read "Needs MAPILLARY_CLIENT_TOKEN — add it in Provider
Settings, or light STREET VIEW to use your Google Maps key"
(keySetupWithAlternatives). Off Google 3D the plain KEY REQUIRED stays.
Street View stays off by default.
- OPEN STREET VIEW moves beside the coverage hint: at the default panel
width the PROVIDERS row has no room for it, so it wrapped onto a line of
its own.
- The panel gate's corner drag names what lay under the pointer when it
fails.

Maintainer follow-up to #966 review:
- A failed panorama-details lookup now waits DETAILS_RETRY_COOLDOWN_MS
(5 s) per panorama before a view event can retry it, so dragging the
view after a failure no longer issues a lookup on every pov change. A
success clears the pause; one panorama's failure does not delay another.
- SECURITY.md notes that allowing maps.googleapis.com in script-src also
trusts its JSONP endpoints, an accepted limitation alongside the
existing 'unsafe-eval' allowance.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
- OPEN STREET VIEW in the PROVIDERS row opens Street View's nearest
panorama at the ground under the middle of the screen, without moving
the camera: Street View no longer needs a pointer. It is disabled (and
says so) until the camera is at street zoom.
- Off the Google 3D map Street View does not appear at all: no chip,
legend swatch, globe credit, layer source or button, and Google's script
is not loaded (the viewer has no prewarm; the script loads on first use).
The share option keeps the user's choice for when Google 3D returns.
- A ground click measures the camera height at the click rather than
reading the cached flag.
- A chip without a usable key explains it instead of lighting; it darkens
beside a lit chip, and the other chips keep switching, so a refused
Street View key cannot lock Mapillary out.
- The gate checks that nothing of Street View shows off Google 3D even when
a share link switches it on, presses OPEN STREET VIEW on Google 3D, and
asserts that each chip it switches really switched.

Google's Maps Platform terms forbid Street View imagery beside non-Google
maps, so the provider declares requiresMapStack: 'photoreal': off Google
3D its chip is dashed with the reason, lookups and opens skip it, and
leaving Google 3D closes its panorama.
- Ground clicks: only a click on the map itself (scenePick.isSurfacePick:
nothing picked or Google 3D tile content) at street zoom opens Street
View, and the camera stays put; higher up the hint says to zoom in.
scenePick.pickGroundPosition replaces the copy in Directions.
- Viewer: poses go out at once and again when the date and address
arrive, so an open never hangs on that lookup; one lookup per panorama,
seeded by the nearest lookup; a close settles a pending open; failed
lookups are asked again; poses follow position changes, not pano_changed.
- Loader: the gm_authFailure handler is installed once, so a retried load
reports a refusal once.
- Viewer host: a prewarm that lands after another provider took the host
is released; FIT/FILL availability is set on every open.
- Provider: a refusal while switched off reports no error over another
photo; SINCE compares against the end of Google's month; messages name
the referrer and network causes; FLAT says Street View is 360° only.
- The layer row names the key of the providers that are on; the MCP panel
CSP admits Street View's tiles, control images and photos.
- Tests for each, against fakes that now follow Google's event order; the
browser gate restores its state, waits instead of sleeping, aims its
panel clicks and corner drags, and asserts the camera stays put.

Google Street View registers beside Mapillary as provider `google`. It runs
on the Maps JavaScript API with the browser GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY, loaded on
first use (mapsLoader.js), and uses Google's own StreetViewPanorama as its
viewer adapter, emitting provider-neutral poses (address and month in the
caption, a link to Google Maps, steps along Google's arrows, FOLLOW on
Google 3D). Its chip starts off because every panorama is billed to the
key; the share option is `g`.
Google offers no coverage layer for other maps, so the provider draws
none: with it on, a click on bare ground at street zoom opens its nearest
Google-collected outdoor panorama (groundClick.js). A key Google refuses
reads KEY REJECTED and fails a pending open at once; a lookup Google never
answers fails after 10 s.
Core: providers may declare `groundClick` and `defaultOn`; poses may carry
`capturedAtPrecision` and `title`; the coverage line keeps every
provider's hint; opening one provider's image releases another's
prewarmed viewer; FIT/FILL hides for viewers without render modes. CSP
script-src admits https://maps.googleapis.com. The browser gate gains two
Street View steps (the keyed one skips as 'no Google key' in CI).
