The CCTV layer kept every loaded camera live: each view change touched every
icon, every notification rebuilt every camera's state, and the picker listed
the whole catalog. With the default 4,000 cameras, a continental drag ran at
152-179 fps with 18-24 frames over 30 ms (worst 112 ms). It now runs at
235 fps with none. The layer now:
- shows icons only on or near the screen, and when zoomed out keeps one camera
per world-anchored cell (healthy feeds first), so panning keeps the same
cameras;
- grounds and draws coverage only for the cameras in view, the active camera
and its coverage neighbours, retrying a camera at most twice per view regime;
- reruns the view pass while the camera moves, paced by its own cost, and
projects with one matrix per pass instead of a Cesium call per camera;
- keeps the billboard buffer-usage hint fixed, so showing or hiding a few
icons no longer rewrites the vertex data of every billboard;
- lists the cameras in view (active camera first) in the picker, closing with
the count of cameras outside the view, and builds the full camera list in
the UI state only when it is read.
The entry now lives in changelog.d/1471-context-panel-cleanup.md with
credit, as CONTRIBUTING asks, and CHANGELOG.md is back to main.
CURRENT-STATE no longer lists a compact Radio power control and scopes
the readability description to what Cyber keeps. The responsive glow
comment no longer cites the removed Radio popover, and qa-radio's
pick-buffer comment is back above settleRadioFrames.
Four test fixtures stop stubbing the removed launcher sync, and
PanelChrome drops the _syncRailPanelCollapseButton pass-through, wiring
the layout controller straight to _syncPanelCollapseButton.
The merge from main kept this branch's side of four conflicts, which dropped the Snow PR's changes: tests expected Snow again, the share-link table lost its retired mark, and the voice pins lost the Snow restore. Keep both retirements, and re-derive the full-payload digest for both enum removals.
Operator was the only layout that displayed the top banner bar. Its markup, styles and keep-out selectors are removed, and the Cyber style test now checks that none remain.
CI failed at format:check: the format scope still listed the deleted
panelChrome.radioOwnership test, and panelRails.test.mjs needed Prettier
after its glow list shrank.
The new Context title colour outranked Cyber's red panel titles, and the
collapsed Context launcher came out brighter than its siblings; the rule
now applies only to the expanded panel outside Cyber. Cyber's layout-focus
standby card had relied on the old dashed border and centring, so it
drew a 3px frame with its text off the radar art; it now names its own
1px frame, padding and centring. Cyber also drops the shared segmented
track, which drew a third frame around its already framed mode buttons.
Tests now pin the Context header to its title and collapse control, the
segmented control, 10px type, the missing halo and the scoped title
colour, plus the Cyber standby and track overrides. Each fails on the
previous CSS or markup.
qa-radio enables Radio and starts the first Play from the visible
controls, expanding Context and Radio the way a person must, then puts
the panels back. The Escape test and its mutation describe what they
still protect. CURRENT-STATE no longer describes the removed Radio icon
or compact player.
createView threw on style 'snow', so an embed host or a
show_in_gods_eye_view call holding a view from before Snow was retired
was refused outright, camera and layers included. viewFromParams read
style=snow as the recipient's own style, while the app opened the same
link on Normal.
Both now read a retired style as Normal; truly unknown names still
throw. The retired list moves to a browser-free module shared by the
view API, the share codec and visual settings.
qa-radio cycles Minimal, off, on, then Tactical, so the HUD toggle must
restore a non-default layout, and expects that sequence instead of the
removed Operator step.
The share-link test pins the exact hudVariant codes, so dropping or
moving operator's reserved code fails it. A live IntelHUD test checks
that a retired Operator layout falls back to Tactical, and the Cyber
test stub themes from the normalized value.
The share-link table marks operator as retired, and the zh-CN glossary
drops the removed string.
The Context header carried a Radio icon that opened a second, compact
Radio player on top of the panel, duplicating the Radio section that
already lives inside Context. Remove the icon, the compact player and
everything that kept the two in step. Radio stays in Context as its own
section with one Enable control; Cockpit's compact Radio is unchanged.
Context itself was hard to read: 7-8 px labels at low contrast, a dashed
placeholder box, and a glow halo. The two modes are now one segmented
control, labels and guidance are 10 px at higher contrast, the standby
hint is plain text, section titles use --text-secondary, and the panel
draws no glow.
Unused translations are pruned, tests and QA harnesses that pinned the
compact player are updated or retired, and CURRENT-STATE and the
changelog describe the new header.
Snow is no longer offered anywhere a style can be chosen: the Visual
Presets tray, keyboard shortcut 7, the Cockpit vision carousel, and the
set_visual_style voice action. The shader and its labels go with it;
weather snowfall and the SNOW weather condition are unaffected.
Share links keep working. Snow's enum code (6) stays reserved, so a
compact or long-form link that names it opens on Normal and drops the
Snow shader parameters without reporting them as unknown. A Scene
Director shot saved with Snow plays on Normal too. Snow's frozen share
defaults matched Normal's apart from those parameters, so no other
setting in an old link changes meaning.
The legacy voice-schema pins restore Snow before hashing, so the
unchanged pins still prove nothing else moved; the complete Realtime
payload digest is re-derived.
Display > HUD > Layout and the set_hud voice action now offer Tactical,
Minimal and Cyber. The Operator option, its CSS and its QA coverage are
removed, and the unused "Operator" translations are pruned.
Share-link codes are append-only, so operator keeps its hudVariant code.
A link, scene or saved state that names it restores the default Tactical
layout. The voice schema pins keep their legacy digests by restoring the
retired value before comparing; the full-payload digest is re-derived.
Conflicts in es, ru, zh-CN and zh-Hant catalogs: both sides appended keys
at the end (cyclone errors from this branch, routing refusals from main);
kept both.

The HUD builds place context for its AI summary whenever the camera
settles, and each build paid for up to four reverse geocodes plus a Nearby
Places search, even when no OpenAI key was configured to use them.
- Ask GET /api/openai/hud-summary/status once; with no summary configured,
or after an unconfigured reply, make no place lookups for the page.
- Reverse-geocode at most two points: the view center and one viewport
point.
- Reuse a lookup until the view center moves a quarter of the visible
width, the camera's distance to it doubles or halves, or the camera
crosses a lookup height. The reused points are asked again, so only a
timeout, failure or empty answer spends.
- Repaint the last AI reply when a small pan leaves the context unchanged.
Cached-only hosts and voice context lookups are unchanged.
Apply the accepted findings from the fourth three-model French review:
« Fermez d'abord cet outil » in the pointer-busy notices, the colon form
« Outil actif : {name} » for the directions notice, « FOV CONSTRUCTEUR »,
« RAPPORT » for the USGS trigger chip, « CONTEXTE GLOBAL DÉSACTIVÉ », and
wording fixes for the radio, recent imagery, bundle preview and draw label
strings. The guide gains glossary rows for the datasheet FOV and for
rapport versus relevé.

Apply the accepted findings from the third three-model French review:
tool-name agreement (« Outil actif : {name} »), elision before ADS-B,
« GORGE AVAL », « CLASSIQUES », « EN SURVOL », one name for the VIIRS
daily overview, U+202F thousands separator, and wording fixes for the
scene editor, directions, radio tuner and status strings.
The CCTV HUD summary now shows its CAL badge, source kind and view band
through existing catalog entries, so French reads « CAL ESTIM. INITIALE ·
SRC AMONT · CONTEXTE RUE »; English output and unknown codes are
unchanged. presentation.js matches the pt branch's round-3 version byte
for byte, so the two branches merge cleanly.

Three-model review (astra, sol, fable), round 3: 17 of 18 findings
applied (some in own wording, one in part); "Missões espac." rejected.
- pt: layer cards «{label}: camada ativada/desativada», pointer and
Directions toasts name «A ferramenta "{owner}"», counters after a
colon where the count can be 1, traffic «sem dados de fluxo» and
«Fluxo: {percent}% cob», «limite de requisições atingido», FECHAR,
ANT., PREDEF. VISUAIS, quoted "Nível da rua", infinitive tooltips,
and more (see docs/translations/pt.md).
- CCTV summary line localizes its CAL, SRC and CONTEXT values through
existing catalog keys (all locales); codes stay underneath.
