The trail no longer joins a day of history into one line. It lifts the pen
across a gap of more than 48 minutes, an implied speed over 1,500 kt, or a
report without altitude (a parked aircraft within 0.1 nm for under 3 h stays
joined), and every history point is kept as its own segment. History never
gets an invented altitude. The live end is the path the aircraft was drawn
along, thinned to its shape, so it no longer cuts corners through turns; a
late report trims what was drawn after it. Old segments are frozen in chunks,
so a 2,000-point trail costs about 0.1 ms a frame.
A tracked aircraft that misses an update shows STALE and is dimmed. It keeps
flying on its last speed and heading for five minutes (at most 1,500 kt),
then stops, dimmed, labelled SIGNAL LOST with the time since its last report,
and is kept for ten minutes after that report so the camera keeps its target.
Aircraft on or near known ground hold at their last report instead of
coasting. Military flights follow the same rules.
- A pasted or start-up link opens its photos only when its restore's camera
landed: a drag or search during the restore flight keeps the camera.
- A posted view whose photo step was cancelled or superseded no longer closes
the viewer or flies; one that found a photo it could not load keeps the error.
- openNearest gains `replace` (keep the open photo while it looks, close it
only when nothing opens, so EXPAND stays) and `proceed()` (asked before a
found photo loads); the action uses both, so a navigation, a gesture or a
hiding mode during the lookup loads no billed panorama.
- Mapillary's timeout message is a msg() string with all eleven translations.
An error Scene catches itself marks Cesium's render loop stopped while the
loop's next animation frame is still queued. A Retry, or a tab shown again,
before that frame ran started a second loop, and the globe drew every frame
twice. The render and resize wrapper now keeps the loop marked running after
a call made while it ran; the queued frame stops it if nothing restarted it.
This also covers the inline panel's timer frames, so its own guard goes.
Every camera find_alpr_cameras returns comes from the tile source, which builds
it through normalizeAlprNode, so the tags are already one line and capped.
Drop the second pass in the tool, its duplicate test and the boundary entry,
and the function check normalizeDisplayText never sees.
Conflicts:
- docs/CURRENT-STATE.md: keep main's hidden-tab polling paragraph and the
display-text normalization paragraph.
- scripts/package-boundaries.json: keep main's voice panel and text chat
modules and add src/data/displayText.js.
- src/voice/gevActions.test.mjs: keep main's set_panel_open and partial
analyst card tests and the display-text tests.
Tracking a civil flight asks Planespotters for that aircraft's photo, once
per aircraft, straight from the browser. The CONTEXT panel's CONTACTS view
shows it under the flight's name with the photographer's credit, as a plain
link to the photo's page. Only images on plnspttrs.net and pages on
www.planespotters.net are ever shown or linked. Military aircraft and a
converted TR-3B are never looked up.
Flight lookups (type, route, photo) whose source failed temporarily are
asked again after a 60-second cool-down; an answer, found or not, and a
permanent refusal stay final for the session. A route belongs to the
callsign it was looked up for, so a callsign change drops the old route.
Browser QA scripts that track a flight answer the photo lookup themselves,
so they never call the third party.
With Lines on, every progressive paint of a loading city rebuilt all road
lines: up to three ground-line primitives for as many as 1,500 roads, built
asynchronously. Builds started faster than they finished, and each kept the
set it replaced in the scene until it was ready, so sets piled up.
One set now builds at a time. A rebuild asked for while lines are building
replaces the one waiting, and the newest starts when the build finishes.
Lines replaced by a finished build are removed before the next one starts.
Turning Lines off removes the lines at once and drops the waiting rebuild.
Before merging: singular 'one' forms from the review table (44 entries),
counters keep their order across the slash (מתוך, as Arabic المن), the
lightning layer says ברקים (the legend now counts ברק strikes, the help
text keeps 110°E Latin), configured-elsewhere keys are promised
untouched, Punk is פאנק רוק, dock/panel side labels follow the mirrored
layout, and the HUD-summary English guard covers he (NON_LATIN_LOCALES,
tested) — documented in Adding a language along with format-scope.
Suggestions and nits: restricted is מוגבל, stage recovery is החבה not
שחזור, voice-inactivity names the behavior, lane directions use
attributes (השמאלי) and around is לאחור, Ironbow and KM/S stay Latin in
same-as-english, {age} no longer doubles לפני, typos and garbled words
fixed (תנאים, ידנית, ודאות, מקלט, זמניים, ערוץ 14, מעונן חלקית, אין אות
קריאה, Tab לתצוגה מקדימה, השאר ריק, היוועץ), counted units shortened
(שנ' דק' שע' ימ'), terminology unified (briefing תדריך, forecast תחזית,
course מהלך, אונייה, שריפה), rtl.css shares the mono redirect under
:is(:lang(ar), :lang(he)) and its comments match the rules,
worldOverlayTokens adds Noto Sans Hebrew to the canvas card fonts, he.md
gets the fraction-aware plural table, iw/iw-IL map to he (tested).
- Add the full catalog (2940 entries keyed by the English text; 75 plural
entries carry one/two/other per Intl.PluralRules('he')), reviewed for
meaning, terms, separators and label length.
- Register he: he-IL and he map to it; it joins RTL_LOCALES so <html
dir=rtl> mirrors the chrome through logical properties and rtl.css.
- rtl.css: Noto Sans Hebrew (loaded with the other Google fonts) leads the
mono and sans stacks, tracking released like Arabic, HUDs keep JetBrains
Mono for Latin telemetry.
- same-as-english: instrument codes and HUD readouts stay as printed
(HDG/BRG/CRS/FOV/CRT/NVG/FLIR/CAL/SRC, MW units, Sentinel-2, km/h...).
- docs/translations/he.md: style, plurals and glossary.
- docs: TRANSLATORS.md and CURRENT-STATE.md updated; normalizeLocale test
covers he-IL.
- EXP. {slot} and EXPORT so the Recent Imagery export buttons fit and A
and B read apart; EXPORT listed as same-as-English.
- {count} HÖRT / hört for one aircraft; the plural rule in sv.md no
longer lists HÖRDA.
- INTE FARA ÖVER throughout; VÄ/HÖ for left/right (V is west on the
compass); STYRD KURS vs KURS Ö. GRUND; MIK in the first-run tip.
- Label-first counts for sightings and standby cameras; neuter audio
states; OSÄKER on chip and status line; KN for knots; the ellipsis
character; Ladda ned and VÄNTLÄGE throughout; Olagligt ingripande;
FÖRHANDSVY for the preview flag and authoring heading.
- sv.json in the format scope; Swedish in language-code order in
TRANSLATORS.md; glossary row reduced to incident → händelse; 29
letterless entries dropped from same-as-english.json.

The orbital Context card is gone and the Contact card stays hidden in orbit
again. Live Signals page 1 had nothing in orbit but TRACK ACQUIRED, because
orbit feeds no Contacts snapshot; it now lists what is around the
satellite, built the way the aircraft rows are, five rows with stable keys
rebuilt once a second. Rows already shown keep their places while they
still qualify, so a site passing under a low orbit is not pulled from under
the pointer.
Site rows come from the Mapped Installations layer (getNearby, asked only
as far as the reach extends) and focus their site, or release it on the
focused site's row, which reads as the subject does. A site the layer drops
during its frequent reloads stays listed for 10 s, since sites do not move.
With the layer off nothing is listed and a SITES STANDBY row says why.
Satellite rows come from the satellites layer's bounded nearest query,
measured from the satellite itself, and ride the satellite; RETURN goes
back to the one before, skipping one that has left the catalogue. While
the camera hops to a new satellite only TRACK ACQUIRED and RETURN show, so
nothing is measured from the old position. An arrow pressed while a focus
eases back takes the arrows' own clock. Site and satellite rows name their
own actions.
In the satellite orbital view a single click on a mapped ground point (a
ground point of a layer that is on, such as a Mapped Installations site, a
fire or a local data pack feature) keeps the camera on it. Each frame the
look is aimed from the satellite's position to the point's Earth-fixed
position in the track-up nadir frame the arrows tilt, so the point stays
at the centre as the satellite moves. The swing onto the point, or between
points, uses the arrows' easing on a slower clock and then holds the point
exactly; reduced motion cuts.
A click elsewhere, FOCUS on the focused point, NADIR, Home or 0 ends the
focus and the view eases back to nadir; an arrow ends it and tilts on from
where the view is. The focus also ends, easing back, when the point leaves
the ±45° reach or the satellite's horizon, when its layer is turned off or
its record is dropped, and with the view. While focused the readout gives
the single off-nadir angle to the point (OFF-NADIR 23.4°), names it in a
polite live region, and the swath reads approximate as for a tilt. Clicks
still reach Cesium's own handler and never untrack the satellite; a click
a tool owns is ignored.
Under the readout, IN REACH lists the mapped points facing the satellite
that are within the reach or in the frame, nearest to nadir first and at
most 12, rebuilt once a second. A row opens the point's position, source
and OpenStreetMap tags (or its layer's properties); FOCUS focuses it,
switches to it, or ends the focus held on it, and is unavailable for a
point in frame but beyond the reach.
An imaging satellite with a known sensor can now zoom past 8x, up to 128x,
as far as the view stays at least as wide as the sensor's narrowest
standard swath at its live altitude; only swaths confirmed on a cited page
open those steps. The top step follows the altitude and window shape and
steps back when it falls below the zoom shown.
The view draws the sensor's swath to scale along the ground track with a
SENSOR SWATH readout (approximate off nadir), and a SENSOR button zooms to
exactly that width when it lies in range at nadir. From 16x the imagery
tiles the view will need 5 to 20 s ahead along the ground track are
pre-loaded at the matching level. The mouse wheel steps the zoom one notch
at a time, and the identity line shows how old the TLE is. The sensor
figures come from a new bundled pack of 46 Earth-observation platforms,
each value cited to its operator or agency, with its own data credit.
With a satellite tracked and no aircraft tracked, Cockpit can ride the
satellite. Entry needs only the Satellites layer; debris can be tracked but
not entered, and voice stays aircraft-only. Double-clicking the tracked
satellite or the entry buttons (reading ORBIT) enter it.
The camera sits on the satellite's per-frame SGP4 position and looks
straight down, turned to the ground track (north-up for a satellite with
none). The optical zoom steps 1x to 8x with a focus pull, the arrows tilt
the view up to 45 degrees off nadir, and Home or 0 returns to nadir. Off
nadir the tilt reads its total angle first and the swath readout becomes an
approximation marked with ≈. While in orbit the map leases flat Esri
imagery, the cloud pass stays off and the view opens in the optical style.
The orbital HUD names the satellite with its owner's flag (from the
flag-icons package, loaded per country) or an organisation badge, its
operator, class, NORAD and COSPAR ids and TLE epoch with the element lines
on request, altitude, orbital speed and the sub-satellite point. CURRENTLY
OVER names the country and its first-level division, or the sea, and from
8x the most prominent populated place nearby, looked up offline from the
bundled Natural Earth packs (populated places are a new pack). The
satellites layer hides the ridden satellite's own marks, dims the other
orbit rings and ignores scene clicks and Escape while held. Exit restores
the camera's field of view and the satellite's follow camera.
C no longer enters or leaves Cockpit, bridge or orbit: it is left to the
app-wide CCTV shortcut, and Escape or the exit button leave first person.
The orbital view reads a satellite's owner country, operator, COSPAR id,
TLE epoch and whether its class can be ridden. #1558 now carries only
what the class toggles read, so this brings the rest back here, where it
is first used: the classes.js helpers and the UCS pack's operator and
owner fields.
Only catalog and the tracked satellite were saved for the layer, so a class
chip lasted until the next reload and no share link carried it. The choice
is now the satellites option `classes`: one letter per class shown
(`sitpd` by default, `0` for none), with Starlink left to `catalog`, and
the layer takes the letters back through setParams. A partial request
(`{debris: false}`) hides only what it names.
The satellites layer now sorts every object into Stations, Imaging,
Telecom, Starlink, Probes or Debris, each with a chip and a live count on
the layer row. Stations and Imaging show by default; the Starlink chip is
the former DENSE catalog switch. Hidden classes keep their points, so a
toggle needs no reload, and they leave the detection overlay and the voice
position lists.
A class comes, strongest evidence first, from CelesTrak SATCAT (object type
and status, served by a new /api/celestrak-satcat/<group> proxy route and
cached for a day), the bundled UCS Satellite Database pack (operator, owner
country and purpose), name patterns for later launches, and the CelesTrak
group. The core catalog also reads the resource, weather, planet, sar and
science groups. Payloads with no evidence of life launched 20 or more years
ago are filed as debris. The UCS pack, its build script and its data credit
are added.
The ship bridge rules were appended to cockpit.css, taking it to 2705
lines; they move unchanged to cockpitBridge.css, imported right after it so
the cascade is the same. cockpitBridge.css and cockpitRadar.css join the
format scope and the styles package.
