Holding a drag still for half a second on a view that already showed no surface looked like a camera at rest, so the recovery turned the view down under the user's hand. The recovery now defers while a pointer pressed on the canvas is held, and runs once it is released, as for a flight or a playing scene.
The pre-check picked the in-place look from args.direction alone, while the tilt itself turns down for any direction but up. A tilt sent as left or right at the frame limit was checked as a turn left or right, refused as losing the globe, though it turns down toward the planet. A rotate sent as up or down was checked as a look up or down, though it turns right.
A tilt's look now comes from its goal pitch against the current pitch (tiltLook), and the tick tilts in place through tiltInPlaceWithinFrame(cam, m, goalPitch). Neither depends on the direction word, so a tilt to an absolute angle, or a tilt with no direction, can use them as they are.
Riding an aircraft now adopts its layer the way a direct selection does, and
Contacts gives up a dependency the user adopts, so ending Contacts mid-session
(one of its layers off, or Contacts itself) no longer turns off the ridden
layer and ends the Cockpit. When Contacts goes off, Live Signals drops the
rows built from its snapshot instead of leaving stale distances marked
CURRENT, and the feed-off warning is no longer duplicated.
Name each Rio feed in its credit instead of repeating the licence, drop the
deprecation history from the bus note, list Rio among the feeds with a
route-name table, and shorten the route-table header and test comments.
Both SMTR feeds now publish Position.speed in m/s. Compared with how far
vehicles moved between reports on 2026-11-05, the published values ran
3.1x (buses) and 3.6x (BRT) below the observed speed, so the km/h
conversion divided real speeds by 3.6. Drop speedUnit and the conversion.
A Director hold longer than the settle check's five-minute bound used
to expire the deferred check, so a run that ended on a stars-only shot
after a long hold stayed there until the next move. While a flight or a
playing scene defers the check, its bound no longer counts down; the
flight or scene bounds the deferral itself.
Also correct the trackball note in CURRENT-STATE: Cesium's tilt tests
the screen centre, so any tilt (drag or touch) with the centre on the
stars between 1,000 and 7,500 km now tilts about the planet's edge or
does nothing, wherever it starts. Rotation drags that start on the
planet are unchanged.
A check skipped because a flight or a playing Director scene was in
progress used to be dropped, so a run that ended or held on a stars-only
shot stayed there until the next camera move. Keep watching instead:
the settle check retries once the flight or scene ends, within its
existing five-minute bound, and a moveEnd that arrives while it is
deferred keeps the check armed rather than stopping it.
Also test that the free-look limit never raises Cesium's trackball
height and that dispose keeps a value set after install, note in its
JSDoc the enableLook case it cannot tell apart, and document the
trackball change and the retry in CURRENT-STATE and the changelog.
Below Cesium's trackball height (7,500 km by default) a drag that starts
on the stars turns the camera in place, whatever enableLook says, which
was the drag path to a view with no planet in it. Lower that height to
the free-look height with the free-look limit, never raising it, and
restore it on dispose. Above 1,000 km such a drag now orbits the globe,
as it already did above 7,500 km, at a similar rate, and a tilt drag
from the stars there tilts about the planet's edge or does nothing
instead of turning the camera. Drags that start on the planet are
unchanged.
Review follow-ups for the globe-in-view recovery and voice limits.
- Leave a camera flight in progress and a playing Director scene, holds
included, to their own framing. The recovery is now installed with the
scene tools, which own the Director, and reads its running state.
- Reuse a voice turn's half-degree proof only from the position and
direction it was proven at, so a release that moves the camera checks
the turn again.
- Share one free-globe-camera check between the recovery, the voice
turn limit and the globe rotation.
- Keep an enableLook setting other code makes after the free-look limit
is installed, instead of writing back the install-time value.
- Name the nudging test for what it asserts, the 1% floor, and document
that a view losing its surface without a camera move waits for the
next one.
SMTR's realtime feeds carry internal route keys, so a Rio card read
"Route O0731AAN0A" where riders know line SN731. Join both feeds to the
route_short_name in SMTR's static GTFS routes.txt (CC BY 4.0, same
publisher and terms). The keys cannot be parsed: O0014AAA0A is LECD135.
A 2026-11-04 snapshot found all 282 bus and 21 BRT routes in service in
the table; an unknown key still falls through raw.

Cockpit entry no longer needs Contacts or both flight feeds: a civilian
aircraft needs Live Flights, a military one Military Flights. Contacts and
every other layer can be turned on or off before or during a session, and
turning off the ridden layer ends it. A Context mode change in flight still
blocks entry.
When the other air feed is off, Live Signals and the Contact card say
FLIGHTS FEED OFF or MILITARY FEED OFF · PARTIAL PICTURE instead of
presenting a partial picture as complete. Voice refuses entry with
subject-layer-off rather than contacts-inactive, and its tool description
says Contacts is not required.
Double-clicking the followed aircraft enters Cockpit through the same gate.
The Cockpit takes the scene's double-click before Cesium's stock handler,
which would otherwise untrack a followed aircraft whose model is a
primitive. The entry also shows under the Intel HUD readout, sharing the
Contacts button's face. A test keeps the classes the Cockpit adds to the
body from matching another element's rule.
Arabic catalog strings carry optional marks ("تتبّع"), but people type
without them, so "تتبع" found no suggestion. Fold the marks out of both
the draft and the candidates before comparing.
- Host test switches AI Provider from chat Settings through the real
provider commands and checks the new mount keeps chat's context, frame,
Back to chat and focus on the provider choice.
- Drop the open and minimized branches of the carried presentation: the
provider choice lives only in Settings, so chat is never open then.
- One showChatSettings helper for the gear and the restore, and one
isStoppable helper for the live-or-error check in chat and the panel close.
Split the Cockpit camera update into the aircraft's own front half and a
shared placeCamera that reads the eye's forward and up offsets, pitch and
ground clearance from a profile. The aircraft profile carries the existing
constants, so the aircraft view is unchanged; other subjects can now supply
their own eye.
Resolves the DATA_SOURCES.md conflict by keeping main's rewritten Transit
and Radio bullets and restating the count for this branch: eighteen feeds
covering seventeen regions (the two Rio feeds share one region).

Switching AI Provider in Settings opened from chat rebuilt the voice
control, so Settings fell back to voice and the dock went idle, widening
the wings. The switch now carries chat's Settings, or chat itself, to the
new provider as it already carries the input mode; the conversation still
starts fresh and focus stays on the provider choice.
After a voice error, opening chat or closing the voice panel left the dock
red on ERROR, because both stopped only an active session. They now also
end a session left in error, which returns the dock to idle.
The quick commands "Reset to globe view" and "Show earthquakes" reached t()
through a .map(), so the catalog check never saw them and every language
showed them in English. They are now marked with msg() and translated.
Review of the 71 strings from #1507 in all eleven languages:
- zh-Hant is regenerated from zh-CN with OpenCC s2tw, as its guide says;
40 entries had Taiwan vocabulary instead.
- ar "Dock to the right" names the left side, where RTL puts that rail.
- ja "What am I looking at?" no longer asks what the assistant sees.
- Provider Settings, dock, provider, live and map use each glossary's terms.
- de drops the du-form; ja drops spaces between Japanese and Latin text.
- Calques, register and the example commands read naturally.
A poll that returned the same stale snapshot dropped STALE from the
Contacts cohort until the next answer, because the in-flight loading flag
outranked stale and the source revision ignored the provider name. A
source that has answered now reads its status without the loading flag;
one that has never answered (AIS first connect) still reads as loading,
so it shows no STALE before any snapshot exists.
