Reviews the 474 strings that 27 pull requests added since the last
review, in all twelve catalogs, and fixes what the review confirmed:
wrong agreement when a placeholder takes a neutral value, plural-less
counts that read "1 sightings", terms that differ from the glossaries,
and typography the language guides set. Also applies most of the
findings earlier reviews left open.
zh-Hant is converted from zh-CN again. The new strings had been
translated separately with Taiwan vocabulary. The zh-Hant guide lists
two more characters OpenCC picks wrongly.
Three tests expected the old German and Spanish wording.
startPageLocale, followPageLocale and switchLocale start, follow and switch
the page's language as the standalone application and the globe picker do,
for an application that offers the language elsewhere and passes
localePicker: false. The standalone application uses them.
Selecting a vessel asks Open Vessel Photos (a free, keyless API) for its
photo by MMSI, once per MMSI. The CONTACTS view shows it under the vessel's
name and MMSI with the photographer, the photo's open licence and a link to
the vessel's page; only images on Open Vessel Photos' own host are shown, and
an answer about another MMSI is no photo. The vessel source exposes the lookup
as getEnrichment({kind: 'photo'}) and fetchOpenVesselPhoto for applications
with their own vessel source.
The activation probe raycast only the photoreal tiles. On a globe map the ray
missed, or ran on through the Earth and met a primitive thousands of
kilometres away, and the monitor plane stood at the camera's full range:
about a kilometre wide and hundreds of metres up. A hit at or beyond the range
now counts as none, and on a globe map the plane also clamps short of the
globe's terrain along the axis, or flat ground at the mount's ground while
that terrain is still loading, whichever is nearer.
The preview settled when the image had loaded, so the panel's <img> took the
src while it was still decoding and then faded in over 180 ms: every camera
click lingered on an empty box. The preview now settles once the frame is
decoded (a rejected decode still shows the loaded frame, and a decode that
never settles shows it after one second), and the fade is gone.
The points-of-interest keys (Q/W/E/R/T while a city is expanded) are a
second bare-key document listener, and it did not look at modifiers
either: Alt+R or a delivered Ctrl+R picked the fourth POI and flew the
camera there. It now leaves Cmd, Ctrl and Alt chords to the browser like
the application shortcuts; Shift still counts as the key. The docs and
the changelog entry say so.
The application shortcut listener read the key alone, so copying with
Cmd+C or Ctrl+C toggled the CCTV layer and opened the nearest camera,
Cmd+F opened the layers panel and Cmd+1 to 6 changed the visual style.
Chords are now left to the browser. Shift is not a chord, a held key
still repeats, and Escape dismisses search either way.
The dialog is now DataLibraryDialog.vue (with DataLibraryCard.vue for each
entry), placed with the Browse button by DataLibraryBrowse.vue in
LayerPanelsView and teleported to the body. It renders what the
gev-data-library store holds and sends clicks and typing to the owner.
src/ui/libraryBrowser.js is now the framework-free owner: it presents the
open state, filters, the rows they show, the stat summary and Remove all
through `publish`, and its controls answer the view. Its text helpers are
what the view renders with t(), so every label follows the locale without
rebuilding anything. Only showModal/close and focus moves stay imperative;
focus returns to Browse also when the browser closes the dialog on Escape
itself.
Component tests mount the view over the real owner (open, filters, Add to
Remove keeping focus, Zoom, Remove all, a language switch, clean view).
- Share links: the compact /share/<code> format carries the switched-on
library entries (field 29), so Copy Link keeps them; a share opened in the
same tab restores them; any share decides what is on, so one with every
library entry off no longer switches on the recipient's stored entries.
- A tile entry too dense at its minimum zoom (Norway cadastre z14, depth z11)
is hidden below that scale via minimumTerrainLevel instead of allocating
millions of tiles when zoomed out.
- EPC partitions keep the full extent for exclusion and the 98 % extent for
ranking only; the old trimmed-only extents are retired.
- Partition index footers that fail transiently are retried; an incomplete
index is never cached as complete, a complete prior index is kept, and it
is rebuilt after five minutes.
- Views that leave touching partitions unread are partial; listing and
footer bodies are capped and ranges validated.
- The Browse dialog relabels after a language switch.
A link check of every manifest found 404 licence or provider pages for
OpenSeaMap seamarks, EMODnet bathymetry and the PDOK, basemap.at, Geneva
SITG, ICGC Catalunya, Luxembourg and Vlaanderen aerial photos, and no
answer from the SEDAC GPW, Minnesota and Bangor hosts. Drop those 11
entries, renumber the unpublished share-token ledger, point the tests at
remaining entries and regenerate DATA_SOURCES.md.
Says so where the cockpit subject section names them, together with
path.line, and that a snapshot read again while nothing changed is the one
read before, so a provider may read one on every update.
Provider methods and worded members are called on the provider itself,
so a class-based provider works. A hold that answers false refuses entry
and is released; any answer but true or false refuses it too, released,
with one warning. An answer whose `then` getter throws is handled as a
throw, and a text cut at its cap never leaves half an emoji.
DATA LAYERS keeps its curated core layers; regional and niche sources
live in the Data Library, opened from Browse data library at the foot
of the panel. Each entry is a JSON manifest in src/library/entries/
pointing at a live upstream (query API, provider-hosted file or tile
endpoint), so nothing is bundled and a self-hosted instance hosts no
data. Sources without CORS go through one allowlisted /api/library
route. Kinds: dataset (GeoJSON, CSV, JSON records, ArcGIS, partitioned
GeoParquet), tiles (XYZ, WMS/ArcGIS bbox export, terrarium relief) and
pack. Selections persist and travel in share links as lib=, separate
from the core layer tokens. Library rows get Zoom and Remove icon
chips that work while the layer is off, rendered through RailChips.
Strings are translated in every locale.
- A subject with no height at all waits at most
COCKPIT_GROUND_WAIT_TIMEOUT_MS for the floor, its HUD updating and
reading ACQUIRING SURFACE; then the view ends and the provider gets its
subject back (there is no height of its own to fall back to).
- A hold that returns a promise is refused as before and released again
once it settles, unless that subject is being ridden by then; release
must tolerate a second call.
- Rail and Transit stamp selectedAtMs only for a user's selection (a click,
focusTrain or focusVehicle); a deselection clears it, and a train or
vehicle selected only by a hold reads null.
- Labels, entry face and look may be functions, read again on every use
and on a locale change; a failing read keeps the last good value.
- A frame with no height keeps the eye's last height, or waits
(surfaceAcquiring) until the floor is known; heights outside
-1,000..50,000 m read as null.
- Provider methods are synchronous: a returned promise is refused like a
throw, and a hold that fails is released.
- A candidate may carry selectedAt; Rail and Transit stamp selectedAtMs
on every selection, so re-selecting moves a subject to the front.
- A released Transit vehicle leaves the visible set at once.
- docs/CURRENT-STATE.md states the new entry order; docs/APPLICATION.md
documents cockpit subjects, ./i18n/locale and ./layers/rail/paths.
GEV itself registers no new subject: with no provider, the Cockpit offers
aircraft, satellites and vessels as before, except that the most recently
selected of them now wins entry.
- services.cockpitSubjects: providers ({kind, layerId, entryFace, priority,
isEntryAllowed, read, hold, release, hud}) are checked once by the
coordinator; frames and HUD views on every update; a throwing provider
ends its view or keeps the last HUD.
- Entry: the most recently selected subject wins, across all kinds.
- Camera: a frame may turn the ground clamp off, anchor exactly on the
subject and update every frame.
- A generic HUD: kicker, title, cards, always-visible source rows, banner,
a veil with light streaks (off under reduced motion) and a bottom
progress line whose close ticks merge.
- Text comes from the provider, already in the page's language
(./i18n/locale: getLocale, onLocaleChange).
- Rail and Transit read and hold APIs (getSelectedTrain/Vehicle,
getCockpitSubject, setCockpitSubject, focusTrain/Vehicle); a held
train's marker, card and route line are hidden, and its feed keeps
polling while held.
- ./layers/rail/paths is exported.
Zoomed out, a hotspot's reports give way to its beacon, and the cards an application draws through pictureCards went with them; they came back only once the camera had stopped after zooming in. The cards now come from every report the close-up view would mark, at any height; the layer's own markers and beacons are unchanged.
createNewsLayer takes a pictureCards(cards, { selectedId }) function; createApplicationCatalog passes it through newsOptions. With it, the layer paints no picture cards of its own and hands the function one card per pictured event on the map, most severe then newest first, with the selected report's id; it hands no cards when the layer turns off.
Shorter comments, changelog and CURRENT-STATE text for the 502 outage
path; the CURRENT-STATE paragraph now also names the 429 exception and
which budget expiry answers busy and which answers 502. Text only.
Core's catalog passes worldClock.timeFor('news') as the layer's now, so a host that follows the clock for News can show a past time's reports with their ages, window and counts as they were then. Core does not follow the clock for the layer, so it keeps reading the wall clock.
Live trains from 30 keyless operator feeds: GPS positions from 29 and
Irish Rail's station reports, shown as the operators publish them. 28
work out of the box; Renfe long and medium distance and KTMB appear once
their pack is built, because their vehicles name no route.
Packs are opt-in (scripts/build-rail-paths.mjs): the operator's own
route lines, stop names, next stops and trip-update delays for live
trains. Nothing downloads when the app starts, no train is placed from a
timetable, and no request carries a deployer's key.
Applying the rest of a posted view after the camera was taken during its
terrain wait still let it change the camera: stop_tracking dropped a follow
the user had just started, and annotate_map framed the view's marks. A
camera taken during the wait now ends the view again, as before. The 2 s
terrain timeout and the per-view catch on the queue stay.
- The look-at longitude wraps fully, so a tilted camera at a pole gives a
point on the globe. The strict off-globe check on street_level is undone:
points are clamped again, as before.
- A posted view that fails is answered, and the views behind it still apply.
- A posted view waits at most 2 s for the terrain under its camera, then
keeps its own estimate.
- A camera taken during that wait stays where it is: the rest of the view
applies, and only its photos stand down.
- show_street_level keeps a search or a press on the globe made during its
own flight: it adopts only its own navigation stamps on landing, and a
gesture is never forgiven.
- Releasing a held viewer frees the old source's adapter without resetting
the panel, so a replacement's error, outcome and armed OPEN survive; a
cross-source replacement drops the old photo's details and marker.
- The action holds the open photo only for its own switch-off: a source
switched by hand during the load stops it and reports cancelled.
- A posted view waiting on terrain watches the camera and stands down after a
navigation or a globe press; a flat or straight-down camera asks no terrain.
- An arming link opens the panel without persisting the layout, and a posted
view's street-level step runs as programmatic.
- An off-globe street_level point throws TypeError.
- zh-Hant uses the file's wording for the new strings; README and
CURRENT-STATE count 35 tools.
Translate the 148 strings main added since (mostly the News layer) and
prune the 5 it no longer uses; keep both Hebrew and Swedish in the
language lists.
- SECURITY.md: OPEN also takes the link's point when the screen centre
cannot be picked at all.
- TOOLS.md: the panel's own link opens Street View only for a result issued
in the last five minutes; an older one only arms.
- Changelog: the hiding modes stop a request, collapsing the panel does not;
failure cards are in the interface language.
- CURRENT-STATE: a posted view without a point grounds its look-at too.
- The cloud brightness key is a filter, not a brightness scale.
- Counted lines without a plural form read "label: count", so 1 agrees.
- Fire confidence is «tillförlitlighet», not «säkerhet».
- Agreement with «flöde» and «luftfartyg»; course on the tracking line is
«FÄRDRIKTNING», which fits both aircraft and ships.
- Wildlife is «Artobservationer», since the layer also shows plants and fungi.
- Bridge readouts are nouns (BLICK, ÖGONHÖJD), cockpit key hints share one
verb form, tool names in pointer messages are quoted, and «jfr» replaces
«jmf.»; the guide's example follows.
- Smaller wording and consistency fixes across the catalog.
A weather feed may also be a frame source. With an optional
getFrameImage({ product, time, size, bbox, signal }) the layers take
whole-extent images, detail windows and the global mosaic from it; with an
optional getFrameTile({ product, time, z, x, y, size, signal }) regional
tiles and their prefetch come from it, null being a transparent tile. Pixels
may be an ImageBitmap, ImageData, canvas or VideoFrame of exactly the
requested size; the layer draws them once and closes them. Cancellation
reaches the source, and a feed without these methods reads the image and
tile routes as before.
