The republish after a globe switch ran as a refinement ('Handoff refined'):
it sampled the incoming globe while it still showed coarse tiles and,
being a refinement, never refined again. Keyless Cesium's first terrain
tiles put Austin's streets near -2 200 m, so vehicles stayed there, and
the next globe weighted each road by the camera distance to those
waypoints (1.9 km became 4.1 km), cutting the population from about 620
to 260 until the camera moved.
The handoff is now a completed pass that refines once the incoming
surface has loaded, road density and the coverage radius are measured to
the road's coordinates on the local ground estimate instead of to the
last sampled waypoints, and flow that lands after a publication
re-allocates the retained roads' budgets instead of only recolouring
them.
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.
osm_query handed its places to the analyst with no presentation, so "which of
those have emergency?" after "hospitals in Kathmandu" was answered as "anywhere
in the loaded data". The handoff now carries the scope the places were found
in ("inside Kathmandu" with its areaId, or "in view"), as an analyst count over
that area would.
Every name ending in "Zone" was kept without a level and refused as a retired
administrative identity. That is right for Nepal, which replaced its zones in
2015, but zones are current units elsewhere: Ethiopia's "Gamo Zone" was
refused. The selector now keeps the verified level unless display_name places
the zone in Nepal or names no country, and the client no longer reads "Zone"
as a retired level when the source verified one.
The maintainer workflow asks runtime changes for a changelog.d/<pr>-<slug>.md
fragment and no edit to CHANGELOG.md. The three entries move unchanged, with
their credit, into changelog.d/846-voice-geometry.md.
The cancelled and failed branches ran before the say-line branch, so a
cancelled panel change no longer said "Cockpit exited; the voice panel was
left as you last set it", and AREA_TIMEOUT / OSM_TIMEOUT got "tell the user it
failed" instead of the tool description's "retry once". A cancelled or failed
result with a say line now has it spoken, and those two timeouts are retried
once. Both providers share this instruction.
Conflict resolutions:
- src/main.js: upstream's PHOTON_URL place-search setting is read once at
module level and passed as geospatial: { endpoints: { photon } } by
createApplication(), so every engine start of the switch flow gets it; the
old single top-level createStandaloneApplication() call stays removed.
- src/layers/bikeshare/render/cesium/rendering.js: upstream's
publishedCapacity fix applied with this branch's
resolveCapacity(model, capacity, status) signature. The same fix is ported
to src/layers/bikeshare/render/navara.js (record.publishedCapacity, status
polls resolve from it), with a Navara regression test; upstream's
proxyRoute test imports the moved render/cesium/rendering.js.
- src/layers/traffic/flow.js: upstream's nextTask() yield and current()
check kept before the scene is taken from this branch's
_trafficScene?.() ?? _viewer?.scene with its missing-scene return.
- scripts/package-boundaries.json, scripts/format-scope.json: union of both
sides' file lists.
- src/voice/actionSchemas.test.mjs: both history comments kept, payload hash
recomputed for the merged schemas (Sentinel-2 map stack enum plus the
shorter layer alias hint).
- src/hudAltitudeDatum.test.mjs: this branch's engine-based IntelHUD
construction with upstream's placeLabels summary context.
A picked engine now lives in the switch until it runs; only then is the
address written, so a pick superseded by Back or one that fails rewrites no
entry. An engine-changing history visit holds the outgoing share link, which
neither restores nor writes the visited entry, and the running engine takes
the address back once the switch settles, restoring any entry visited while
it was held or not yet listening. Handed-off layers keep running where the
incoming address agrees with the outgoing one and follow a visited entry
where it differs. A failed recovery keeps the error on the loading screen
with an engine picker for a retry, and a failing reveal of the new globe no
longer blocks the cover removal or later requests.
"Fly to Paris and orbit it" reaches the app as two sibling tool calls,
which OpenAI runs at once. With a place that needs a lookup, the orbit
started over the old view and the late flight then replaced it; with a
known place, pan and rotate cancelled the flight already in the air.
Orbit, pan and rotate now wait for a pending voice flight the same way
tilt does: up to 30 s, and not run (saying so) if the flight is
cancelled, finds nothing or times out. Stop and rotate_globe do not
wait. Orbit keeps its own arming for flights the voice runner does not
track.
"Fly to London and tilt the camera" reaches the app as two sibling tool
calls, and OpenAI runs them concurrently. The tilt's navigation step
cancelled the flight already in the air, so the camera tilted where it
was; when the place still needed a lookup, the late flight replaced the
tilt and London came out top-down.
The voice runner now tracks its latest flight. A tilt sent while that
flight is still looking up or flying waits for it to land (up to 30 s),
then tilts at the destination. If the flight is cancelled, finds nothing
or times out, the tilt is not run and says so.
A voice fly-to frames a city top-down, at pitch -90. The tilt clamp
rejected any step that left the pitch below -89, so the first frame of
"tilt up" stopped the motion and "tilt down" was refused: from the view
voice lands on, no tilt ever moved the camera. A bare "tilt the camera"
also failed because tilt required a direction.
- Clamp tilt only in the direction of travel, so -90 can tilt up.
- Swing the camera about the ground under the crosshair, so the place
stays centred and the heading is kept. A tracked view still tilts in
place, and a pivot tilt yields when tracking takes the camera.
- Add an optional move_camera pitchDeg for "tilt 45 degrees"; a tilt
with neither angle nor direction settles at -45 (oblique view).
- Re-derive the voice tool schema pins for the new argument and wording,
and keep the Realtime prompt under its 52,000-character budget.
Picks up the Radio Next/Previous fix (#1474) and the Codespaces docs
(#1515). The one conflict is the Radio cycle assertion in
gevActions.test.mjs: main's new fallback flag is kept in this branch's
layout.
qa-all-layer-switches.mjs now checks once that Puppeteer can start Chrome and that the preview answers, and names PUPPETEER_EXECUTABLE_PATH and npx puppeteer browsers install chrome when it cannot. Each run writes <output>/acceptance.json with the commit, dirty files at both ends, Chrome, Node, base URL, times and, per scenario, status, exit code, duration, covered layer ids and the sha256 of its log. It replaces summary.json.
Live Sentinel-2 imagery is bright at this altitude, so a fixed crop of white two-pixel vehicles changed anywhere from 14 to 300 pixels. The scenario now serves a uniform dark ground tile, waits for the layer to settle with vehicles in view, projects each vehicle to the window and requires 90% of those above the drawn terrain to change the picture where the layer places them; in simulation nothing else may change. Vehicles below the terrain and the population left after the round trip are reported, not asserted.
Pulses: three dim rings grow from the Global Context subject to the
250 km range ring at constant speed, one every 3 s, each taking 9 s.
Each fades in over its first 8% of travel, then fades as
(1 - travel)^1.5 to about a third of its 60% peak, so it arrives at the
ring dim but visible. They are 3 px in the ring's colours, as polylines
with CallbackProperty positions and colours that share the ring's
centre object, so they follow a moving subject.
Ring: while pulses run, the 250 km ring rests unseen and flashes to full
strength as each pulse reaches it, fading over 1.8 s. Without pulses
(reduced motion, or a scene with no primitives or preRender hook) it
stays on screen as before.
Gradient: behind each pulse a radial band in the same blue fades inward
over 35% of the radius. One flat, translucent, unpickable 250 km disc
draws it with a small Fabric material. A preRender listener writes the
pulse radii and opacities into two vec4 uniforms each frame. The disc
(0.25 degree granularity, ~3.5 ms to build) is rebuilt only after the
subject moves 2 km.
Echoes: as a pulse front crosses a flight, military aircraft or AIS
vessel, the detection overlay draws a second bracket in the pulse blue
around that contact's own bracket, spreading outward as it fades over
1.4 s. Awareness publishes the field (centre, radius, pulse timing,
echo styling) through the new src/awarenessEcho.js. The overlay reads
it, so no layer's icon or colour is touched. Mapped installations have
no detection bracket, so they do not echo.
Rendering cost: pulses never hold continuous rendering. They ask for a
frame every 80 ms, the Cyber sonar's parked cadence, so a parked
Contacts view repaints at ~12.5 fps while a subject is shown. This
changes the "parked Contacts stays quiet" behaviour on purpose.
clearVisual stops the timer and removes the disc, the listener and the
echo field.
awarenessRangeRingPositions can now reuse a result array, and passes the
WGS84 ellipsoid explicitly so a reused Cartesian never lands in the
ellipsoid argument. Tuning lives in AWARENESS_RANGE_PULSE,
AWARENESS_RANGE_ECHO and AWARENESS_RANGE_RING_STYLE. src/awarenessEcho.js
is registered in the awareness-layer, application-components and
application-layer-construction packages.
Tests cover:
- the pulse curve and calm rate;
- the ring flash once per arrival, and the static ring without pulses;
- the 80 ms frame cadence and its stop;
- the partial-scene fallback;
- the gradient disc: unpickable, uniform values, rebuild and cleanup;
- per-frame evaluation, and the echo field following the subject;
- awarenessEcho strength, rim wrap, layer filter and altitude handling;
- the detection renderer's echo-bracket band and outward spread.
The Global Context range ring was a Cesium ellipse outline at 1 px in
rgba(98,181,255,0.72). WebGL ignores larger ellipse outline widths, so it
could not be thickened, and it vanished over desert and snow and under the
FLIR, NVG and CRT styles.
Draw it as a polyline instead: a 4 px line with a 2 px Context-blue core
inside a 1 px dark halo on each side (PolylineOutlineMaterialProperty).
The halo gives luminance contrast on light and dark ground, which the
monochrome styles keep. The ring sits at the same 2.5 km height and
follows the subject on the same 250 m threshold. Positions come from a
new awarenessRangeRingPositions helper that stays within 50 m of 250 km.
Style values live in AWARENESS_RANGE_RING_STYLE (awareness/policy.js).
Adds rangeRing.test.mjs (geometry at equator, Sahara, Greenland and the
antimeridian; contrast; entity shape; follow threshold) and a
CURRENT-STATE note.
A ½×–4× slider (log2 axis, 5 % steps, default 1×) under the intensity
filter sets how large far-zoom heat spots are. It scales the grid, not
the blur: 2× is a 1024 × 512 grid with the same one-pixel blur, so each
spot grows exactly and weak lone fires don't fade as they widen. A change
rebuilds only the heatmap. Share links keep it as w.s (percent, 50–400).
The layer row now takes a list of sliders.
The engine switch moves out of main.js into src/standalone/engineSwitch.js: every
engine change in the page hands the session off (layers, Director, Contacts,
directions and satellite cameras), whether it came from the picker or from
history. Each attempt has a generation; a failure rolls back to the last engine
that started, requests made during a switch or recovery are reconciled once it
settles, and a picked engine adds its history entry only after it starts. The
first-frame wait only lifts the cover and never fails a started engine; a
hidden tab does not wait. Nothing starts after pagehide, and a failed recovery
leaves the picker usable.
One provenanceLine() builds STATE | text | LAYERS for the HUD and
get_hud_caption. hasWord is one lookaround regex, capAtWord one grapheme
pass. Feed-state helpers are imported from layerSnapshot.js directly, and the
kept-whole sanitizer cases are one table.
Dropping each detection whole into its nearest pixel snapped spots by up
to half a pixel and left weak lone fires as squares or plus signs once
thresholded. Share each detection's weight between the four nearest pixel
centres instead (linear binning, Wand 1994): spots sit at the true
position and blur round, at the same build cost.
