The far-zoom heatmap now uses the ½× grid (4096 × 2048, ≈10 km per
pixel, one-pixel blur), so a lone fire's spot matches its marker at the
3,000 km hand-off. The spot size slider and its share option are gone.
Markers and heatmap are both kept built at every zoom and cross-fade by
camera height between 2,400 and 3,600 km on every frame, so a fast zoom
never shows a beat with neither. The heatmap fades by imagery alpha:
hiding a Cesium imagery layer unmaps it from the globe tiles, and showing
it again re-mapped them late, which was the gap at the band edge. Under
the markers the heatmap is built 150 ms after the data or filter changes.
The global and regional LOD bands drape the heat raster on the active
imagery host and draw no rectangle entities; the 2/1 degree aggregation now
only feeds the "N FIRES" cards, whose accent is the strongest fire's FRP
color. Markers below ~750 km hide the heatmap, as do disable and destroy.
A stale raster is rebuilt immediately on first paint and with a 150 ms
trailing debounce afterwards, so a slider drag does not re-encode on every
step. The shell hands the layer its imagery host, so the heatmap follows
globe and 3D-tiles map stacks.

Detections are binned on a 2048x1024 equirectangular grid weighted
1 + log10(1 + FRP), Gaussian-blurred (longitude wraps), normalized on a log
scale against the 99.5th percentile and mapped blue -> red with an alpha
ramp that is fully transparent below the floor. heatImagery drapes the bytes
as one full-globe SingleTileImageryProvider on the active imagery host.
