An ESLint no-unused-vars scan over src, server, scripts, tools, build
and pinokio, repeated until it is stable, reported these.
Runtime modules keep every call and drop only the unread binding:
- src/ui/cockpitInput.js: the unread result of enter()/exit().
- src/layers/launches/rendering.js: the unread entity returned by
entities.add().
- src/layers/radio/rendering.js: the unread map key in the horizon scan,
which now iterates the map's values.
QA scripts and tools drop an unused helper, two unused in-page module
imports, unused counters and destructured fields, and an unread wait
result. Tests drop source files read into variables that no assertion
uses, redundant StyleManager imports (the shell-source helper already
imports it), and unused destructured fields.
The one remaining report is the `_` loop variable in src/tools/schema.js,
which counts iterations and is intentional.
QA harnesses import some modules in the page by path, for example
import('/src/data/radio.js'). Those calls name exactly which bindings
they use, and every other export of these modules has no importer:
- src/data/radio.js: 20 aliases of radio layer methods and two
re-exported altitude constants. The radio layer keeps the methods.
- src/layers/transit/movement.js: tuning constants and course helpers
used only inside the module lose `export`; FIX_HISTORY_MAX,
DISPLAY_LAG_MIN_MS, DISPLAY_LAG_RESET_MS, FIX_NOISE_M, STOPPED_FIXES
and courseBetween, which nothing reads, are deleted.
- src/overlays/worldOverlay.js, src/splitFlap.js,
src/data/contactPlayback.js and src/voice/cloudVoiceAuth.js: helpers
and constants used only locally lose `export`.
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.
Drop module-local helpers that nothing calls (linkAbort, summarize,
stringOption, summarizeEntity and the polygonCenter, propertyObject and
unwrapProperties helpers only it used, CALLOUT_DOT_SIZE_PX) and unused
import specifiers in runtime modules, tests, QA scripts and tools.
None of the removed bindings is exported. Re-exports such as the ALPR
policy constants and every package export are unchanged.
- i18n scanner: lastError sink, no false sinks on defaults and ternaries
- shared src/i18n/marker.js for modules that only mark strings
- wind field messages move to wind/fields.js; CITY_POIS imports from cityPois.js
- drop review IDs, change history and stale references from comments and docs

- Status pieces translate in one place (src/ui/statusText.js): a Local
ADS-B error with a single piece now translates, and the analyst card
splits empty-layer notes into pieces (Transit, Local ADS-B).
- Translate the ALPR retry chip text, the ECCC error on the Air quality
card, "Upstream response too large" and the "entry {n}" feed label.
- The unmarked-text check also sees error/loadingLabel/statusMessage/
status assignments, `status:` properties and showToast?.( /
this._showToast( calls; the scene import preview marks its pack
statuses, data and model-facing text carry i18n-ignore with a reason.
- Tests check the real code: the HUD locality formatter moves to
src/hudLocalityFormat.js, the unsaved-keys test pins the teardown.
- One copy each: city names come from src/cityPois.js, the GNSS HTTP
template and wind "field unavailable" texts; dead fallbacks removed.
- Leftovers of the reverted vessel-label change and the reformatting of
detectionHost.test.mjs / keySetup.test.mjs are back to main.

Fixes the P1 and the confirmed P2 findings of the final review of the
i18n branch.
- CI: the air-quality model no longer imports i18n (portable module),
so check:boundaries passes again.
- Air quality layer: named in the layer panel, HUD and voice; its
Weather card, bands and errors translate. A test keeps the layer-name
table in step with the layer registry.
- Layer statuses that still reached ru/es in English: GNSS, CelesTrak,
Transit loading and feed errors, launches, perimeters, ALPR, ECCC,
wind "field unavailable", Local ADS-B streaming lines.
- Voice and HUD: preset ids show city names ("Fly to San Francisco"),
the HUD city translates, cockpit refusals cover frame, aircraft and
satellite; empty Transit notes translate on the analyst card.
- tn() keeps a caller's formatted count ("12,345 map objects").
- Cyber HUD: the language button no longer covers the bottom-right
card or the cockpit position readout.
- CCTV buttons wrap only in non-English locales; English layout matches
main again.
- Switching language asks first when Provider Settings holds unsaved
keys.

Conflicts:
- CCTV HUD: main's datasheet FOV, capability range and spec summary,
with their labels translated; specFovCapabilityToken takes a format
so the HUD can pass a translated one. Datasheet resolution labels are
camera data (i18n-ignore).
- Transit: main's route labels and operator mode words, with the
generic words still translated; an operator's own word stays a name.

Replacement buses on 5xx streetcar routes were drawn as streetcars, and
Flexity streetcars reporting no route were drawn as buses. A feed can now
supply vehicleMode(id); TTC maps 4400-4699 to streetcars and every other
fleet number to buses, falling back to the route otherwise.
Guelph's feed publishes the internal database key of a route (`2991`)
where the rider sees the number on the bus (`1`), which would have put
"Route 2991" on the label a person reads. So a feed may now carry its own
`routeLabel`, the same way it may carry its own `modeWords`. Guelph's table
is its 33 routes, taken from the City's own published GTFS; an id missing
from it renders unchanged, because a raw id you can compare against the bus
beats a blank. Every other feed is identity and carries no table.
Kingston is catalogued by the City against this exact URL. Its licence PDF
link is pinned to the canonical location rather than the legacy path that
currently redirects there — Durham's entry records what happens when such a
redirect is eventually dropped.
Barrie ships REGISTERED AND OFF. The City offers its licence for acceptance
behind a click-through gate, and nobody on this project has accepted it.
Whether to accept is a person's decision, not an assumption a poller should
make, so the feed is visible, documented, and one line from enabled.
A Toronto 501 and a Helsinki 1010 are both the `tram` mode. Only one of
them is called a tram by the people who ride it, and the detection label
is documented as "what a person standing at the stop would call it".
So the mode stays shared — same silhouette, same speed limits — and a
registry entry may carry `modeWords` naming the modes it runs. Everything
without an override falls through to the shared table, so this renames one
word for one operator and nothing else.
Threading the feed to the detection metric needed a resolver in queries.js,
since the cached-contact path has only the entry. It answers from live feeds
first, so a feed disabled mid-session stops supplying vocabulary.
Upstream's #641 (bikeshare Toronto, city failures scoped to range with
partial outages read DEGRADED/STALE) replaced the layer-level GBFS
error strings this branch had msg()-marked, in the two paths that
conflicted.
- ingestion.js/viewport.js taken as upstream's per-city
_failedCityIds tracking; the layer-level error assignments are gone.
- 'GBFS fetch error' still reaches the panel via stats.error from
controls.js, so its mark moved there (translateFeedError keeps
translating it).
- 'GBFS status update failed' no longer exists anywhere: pruned from
es/ru and from the layerStatusText SITES table, which now pins the
controls.js site instead of the removed ones.
Also brings #581 (upstream-read caps, OpenSky 429 cooldown) - no i18n
surface.
npm run i18n: complete (2553), no unmarked strings. npm test: only the
pre-existing environmental OPENAI_API_KEY leak in devFreshDotenv fails.
Build passes.
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).

The layer recorded failure in a single `_error` string. Every city feed is
fetched independently, so one retired operator set that flag for the whole
layer — and the only code that cleared it ran on a successful *activation*,
which `runProximityCheck` skips for a city that already has rendered points.
A dead feed that re-entered camera range therefore set the flag on every
camera move and nothing ever cleared it: a permanent LOAD FAILED over a map
drawing every other city's stations.
Failure is now tracked per city in `_failedCityIds`, and `getStats()` reports
it only when the failures left nothing to draw. A city that recovers removes
its own entry rather than waiting for a neighbour to succeed.
This was reachable only because Buffalo sits 95 km from Toronto, inside the
100 km activation radius — the one dead city in the registry with a healthy
neighbour in range. The other four failed alone, where LOAD FAILED with an
empty map reads as correct, which is why the latch went unnoticed.
Probing all 33 registry systems found five dead. Three had moved and are
repointed: Reddy Bikeshare (Buffalo) to Social Bicycles, Tugo (Tucson) and
Trinity Metro (Fort Worth) to PBSC, all verified serving stations. Two are
dropped because the systems wound down rather than moved — Broward B-cycle
404s at every documented endpoint, and CoGo's replacement Lyft feed publishes
zero stations with status last reported in March 2025. `gbfs.cogobikeshare.com`
no longer resolves, so its allowlist entry goes too.
All 31 remaining systems were verified live, and every registry URL was
checked against the proxy host and path allowlists.
Keeps the voice-core prompt rules and adds main's world-query and
vessels-vs-visuals rules; the tool catalog wraps the deixis-aware runner.
Also fixes two things the branch had before the merge:
- Live voice could not start: OpenAI rejects track_entity's top-level
anyOf. Model-facing tools now omit top-level combinators; the runner
and benchmark still require a query or a referent.
- The Contacts-centred analyst answer dropped the viewport coverage note.
Add getFeeds() to the transit source. It reads the public catalog route
the server already serves, so code outside the layer can find feeds
near a location without loading the layer.
- 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.
## Changes
Follow-up to #596 from the owner's look: a parked transit vehicle turned with the camera. Moving vehicles project their world course into screen space on every camera change, but a vehicle that had never moved on screen could have no display course and was skipped by that pass, leaving its billboard at a screen-anchored angle; rotation invalidation also relied on camera events that a pose change without a revision could miss. Now every visible vehicle with any usable course (derived, held, or the feed's reported bearing) is re-projected at the existing 5 Hz cadence on camera pose changes. Moving playback and the 120°/s course limiter are unchanged.
## How it was verified
- `npm run format:check` (861 files), `npm run check:boundaries` (109 groups), `npm test` (4,068 passing), `npm run build` clean; tracking regression 109/109 in a real browser on Google 3D tiles.
- Node tests: a stationary vehicle with a held course, and one with only a reported bearing, under a camera at heading 0° then 90° yield screen rotations 90° apart.
- Browser harness (`scripts/qa-transit.mjs`, keyed on Google 3D tiles): a parked scripted vehicle orbited by 90° rotates 90.000° on screen; a moving vehicle's rotation still matches its rendered travel; both checks fail on main and pass here. Full keyed run: 201 pass; the nine failures are the per-frame allocation gate already recorded as a follow-up and threshold-edge readability lines on the Boston matrix, both unchanged from #596.
## Changes
Follow-up to #587 after the owner's first look at the merged transit layer on Google 3D tiles.
- **Sensor presets keep the real silhouettes.** Under NVG, thermal (white-hot, black-hot, Ironbow) and noir, vehicles are the same silhouettes as in normal view, filled opaque white with a 2 px dark halo, at the CRT display sizes (26 px fleet, 39 px selected). The solid rounded "signature" bodies are gone.
- **The selected vehicle's trail is visible.** The retained history is now draped onto 3D tiles and terrain (`GroundPolylinePrimitive`, `ClassificationType.BOTH`, the way the traffic heat-lines are drawn), 3 px core over a 5 px dark backing, per-segment age colour, a short draped head clipped to the sprite. Two defects kept it off screen before: Cesium's per-instance attribute getters return copies, so the renderer's show/colour edits were discarded, and a marker did not recover after the camera jumped to it, which hid the trail with it. Trail geometry is now prepared on selection independent of floor resolution and marker visibility; sparse long intervals (rail) keep a bounded marker corridor instead of dropping the interval; classification survives map-source changes.
- **Transit sits in the Movement panel group** between Street Traffic and Bike Share (the panel orders by `PANEL_GROUPS`, not by catalog order; the catalog is moved too).
## How it was verified
- `npm run format:check` (854 files), `npm run check:boundaries`, `npm test` (4,062 passing), `npm run build` clean; tracking regression 109/109 in a real browser on Google 3D tiles.
- Browser harness (`scripts/qa-transit.mjs`), keyed on Google 3D tiles and keyless: keyed 194 pass, with the trail pixel check passing at 300, 600 and 900 m; the remaining keyed failures are the per-frame allocation gate already recorded as a follow-up from #587 (CPU and frame time within budget), four readability lines at threshold edges, and the card-anchor check now counting frames where the selected marker is legitimately off screen; keyless 193 pass with the remaining misses being threshold edges on the thin tram silhouette (centre 0.83–0.88 against 0.85) and one bus ring 0.28 against 0.25 on a pure-white roof.
- New harness checks: `Google 3D selected trail visible at 6 of 8 projected samples` (repeated off/on framebuffer captures at 300/600/900 m, samples outside the sprite footprint, a background-change negative control; fails on main, passes here), a camera-arrival check (select a moving vehicle, `setView` onto it, marker shown and trail body drawn within 2 s), `PANEL_ORDER` pinned, raster tests comparing every sensor raster's mask and aspect ratio to the normal silhouette.
- Direct look on a keyed build: a live CapMetro bus at 30 m/s selected through the layer API draws its draped trail along the highway lane (harness capture `keyed-600m-trail-visible.jpg`).
- Adversarial review by Codex Astra before the last two fix passes (stack-switch classification, marker corridor under the vertex cap, pixel-gate loophole), all three fixed with regressions.
Docs: `docs/CURRENT-STATE.md` and `CHANGELOG.md` updated in this PR. No data-source changes.
Supersedes #218 by @spcpza, 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.
Contributor: @spcpza. His original commit is the base of this branch, and his own re-port onto main (2026-09-15, `5b69011`) was consulted while finishing the height work. That port reads every vehicle's surface from the app's shared ground-floor system (`cachedGroundFloor` / `warmGroundFloor` / `GROUND_FLOOR_LIFT_M`) rather than sampling the scene per layer, keeps a vehicle hidden until its cell answers, warms a bounded batch per poll on a timer instead of per frame, and renders at the ellipsoid above the altitude gate. That is the sounder primitive — one floor system for the app, with the rooftop-versus-street question already settled against a datum-correct DEM prior — and this branch's height work was rebuilt on it, replacing a bespoke cell cache, ground prior and rooftop rule written here. Credit for that direction is his.
Future work (not in this PR), both written up in docs/CURRENT-STATE.md:
- Readable route names. The realtime feeds carry only `route_id`; `route_short_name` / `route_long_name` live in each operator's static GTFS `routes.txt`, and headsigns in `trips.txt`. Doing it properly wants a server-side metadata loader beside the transit proxy with fixed registered static sources, bounded indexes built once and persisted, a slow conditional refresh, and a versioned route dictionary the browser caches. Shipped here: ids are never rewritten, and a cut one carries an ellipsis instead of reading as a typo.
- Below-ground rendering. Subway vehicles are drawn on the surface directly above themselves, because the feeds carry no depth and a train nobody can see is not worth drawing; the card says so plainly. Real treatment wants OSM tunnel geometry per city and a ghosted sprite tethered to the surface. The owner recorded it and left it.
Round four and after (2026-09-15). The owner tested round three under FLIR and NVG, and then asked for the design to be taken further: elegant in performance, beautiful on camera, trails with a cache for public transport, Cesium-native, and a core other moving layers can adopt. Codex Astra reviewed the plan (it confirmed the speed fault: a glide started from the drawn position at receipt time but spanned the gap between report times, so with MBTA reporting every ~10 s against a 15 s poll every second glide ran at 1.5x; it rejected a queued-segment patch), then wrote the design, then implemented it in commit-sized passes with adversarial review between them and real-browser harness runs by the integrator.
What this PR now contains beyond the contributor's original port:
- Delayed playback in a contact-agnostic core (`src/data/contactPlayback.js`): each vehicle keeps a typed, bounded fix history and a display clock that runs at one second per second through it, a feed-derived lag behind real time, holding at its newest fix rather than extrapolating and never sprinting to catch up. Marker, course, motion word, card and trail all read the same displayed sample. The clock has an explicit time-offset and seek API so a rewind is a later feature, not a rewrite; flights and vessels are untouched.
- A selected-vehicle trail (`src/data/contactTrailRenderer.js`, `src/layers/transit/trails.js`): the retained history drawn with batched Cesium primitives, clipped at display time so the head is exactly the sprite, faded by age, in the mode colour (white under sensor presets), on the same surface path as the marker.
- Bounded proxy-side history (`server/providers/transitHistory.js`): fifteen minutes and at most 128 fixes per vehicle with hard byte ceilings, MBTA only for now (opt-in per feed), served by a small endpoint that never fetches upstream, so a selected trail survives a browser reload while the server keeps running.
- Scene work bounded to what is visible and moving, an occluder, cached DETECT candidates, holds on the render loop only while something visible moves.
- Sensor presets: white-hot haloed sprites under NVG/FLIR/noir (black-hot inverts), saturated mode colours under CRT, per-mode bracket tiers in every theme, the selected card keeping its mode colour.
- A discriminating browser harness (`scripts/qa-transit.mjs`) that samples postRender frames, reads the real card anchor, and measures fleet budgets at 800 and 3,000 vehicles.
Not built, recorded as follow-ups: curated route display names (lowest priority per the owner), fleet-wide tails, route snapping, a rewind UI, adoption of the playback core by flights and vessels.
Verified at merge (2026-09-15 morning): unit suite 3,896 passing, build clean, format and boundary gates clean, tracking regression 109/109, browser harness keyless 200 pass / 0 fail (13 sensor checks unexercised because the live view offered fewer than six isolated sprites; every judged sprite passed), keyed on Google 3D tiles 198 pass with the per-frame allocation gate as the only failure. Follow-ups recorded: the keyed build's playback sampler still allocates per frame (CPU and frame time stay within budget; the 3,000-vehicle metro view sits at a 27.6 ms frame interval against a 25 ms budget), the shared detection overlay's per-paint allocation, friendlier route names, fleet-wide tails, a rewind UI, and adopting the playback core for vessels and flights.
