osm_query said "At least N" when the server capped its list, but handed
the places to the analyst engine with truncated:false, so "which of those
have emergency?" answered as if the list were whole. The handoff now
carries the cap and its caveat, and follow-ups (and their follow-ups)
stay incomplete with an unknown total.
The voice answer waited 25 s for /api/osm/features, while the server let
Overpass run for 25 s and itself waited up to 40 s per endpoint and 45 s
in all. When the browser gave up first it closed the request, the route
cancelled the upstream query, and nothing was cached, so the OSM_TIMEOUT
retry started the same query from scratch and timed out again.
The server now tells Overpass 20 s, waits 22 s per endpoint and 22 s in
all, which ends inside the client's 25 s. A test pins that ordering.
A reply stopped partway through a round now keeps the actions that ran,
answering the calls it never reached as skipped, so the history stays
paired for both providers. A failed typed turn no longer resets the
pointer, referents and follow-up memory, since its conversation continues.
The server now tells a rejected key (401, or Gemini's 400 with reason
API_KEY_INVALID, matched exactly), denied access (403) and an account out
of credit (OpenAI's 429 insufficient_quota) apart; each cools down for a
minute and gets its own message in the chat.
#1308 moved /api/overpass to the keyless cross-site gate: foreign origins
and cross-site fetches are still refused, but forwarding headers are not,
so the map works behind a reverse proxy. Voice place search spends the same
operator Overpass, so it now uses the same gate; with the stricter one,
place search failed behind a proxy while the map kept working. The prompt
lint note records the merged size, 55,370 with an operator Overpass.
Picks up #1308 (Overpass admission), #114 (Sea Marks and Ski Pistes),
#1206 (radio country coverage) and #1435. Resolutions:
- SECURITY.md: main's rewritten cross-site paragraph, with voice place
search listed beside /api/overpass among the keyless map routes.
- scripts/format-scope.json: both sides. A merge on main dropped 97 entries
(being restored there); keeping them, this PR's 12 and main's 2 new ones
keeps every file in format:check. All 1,222 paths exist.
- Translation catalogs: main's two new keys and this PR's 47, no overlap.
- Layer count 36 (33 + OSM Places + Sea Marks + Ski Pistes); both schema
pins re-derived, the first-run length is exactly 30,919 + 292 + 107.
Typed chat sessions no longer end on the voice inactivity timeout, and a
failed or stopped reply keeps the conversation: Stop cancels only the
reply in progress, and map actions that already ran stay in the model's
context. Each upstream request and map action gets its own deadline, old
tool results shrink instead of the history overflowing, and step limits,
a missing or rejected key, the OAuth lock and throttling each get their
own message.
- Server: OpenAI chat is off under GEV_PREFER_CODEX_OAUTH; chat throttles
default to the provider's throttle; replies carry API_KEY_MISSING,
API_KEY_REJECTED, CODEX_OAUTH_REQUIRED and RATE_LIMITED codes; upstream
Retry-After passes through, and a rejected key (Gemini's invalid-key 400
included) cools down for a minute
- Pinokio forwards the chat throttle settings
- UI: the reply reveal publishes only the message list; the border orbit
runs only while busy; layers attach with a button or Enter; the log is
aria-busy while a reply types out; auto-scroll respects a reader who
scrolled up; Escape closes the attach menu; the chat gear says Settings;
a note says chat bills the OpenAI key when voice uses ChatGPT sign-in
- Layout does less work while panel height animates; unused blurs removed
- Gemini voice start ends chat; the voice preview clears on every new
session
- Tests for the route gates, client limits, attachments and the fixes
The detection overlay asked the echo field for every visible flight,
military aircraft and vessel on every frame while a subject was
selected, projecting each to the ground before learning the pulses were
resting. It now checks awarenessEchoActive once per frame and builds no
echo paths at rest, and awarenessEchoAt checks the level before the
projection.
A detectionHost test with six echo-eligible flights checks that a
resting frame asks for the level fewer times than there are contacts
and paints no echo; it fails on the per-contact path.
The pulse and echo policy doc comments are attached to their constants
again, and one long comment line is re-wrapped.
The range ring was a Cesium entity, and entities are always picked, so
a click or tap on its edge became an unowned hit: vessel selection read
it as empty space and pickContact stopped its touch search there. A
contact under the 250 km edge was hard to select.
The ring is now a polyline primitive with allowPicking false, in the
same PolylineOutline material and 4 px width the entity used, so it
draws the same. The flash while pulses run writes the material's colour
alphas from the pulses' per-frame update; under reduced motion the
colours stay at full and no listener is added. A subject that moves
250 m rebuilds the primitive and keeps the material, so a flash carries
on across the move. Viewers without a usable primitive collection
(headless tools, stubs) still get a static entity.
The ring's geometry options come from awarenessRingGeometryOptions,
tested directly, and the tests now check that the awareness visual adds
no entity and that every primitive it adds is unpickable, with and
without reduced motion.
The two Update-branch merges resolved the locale conflicts by keeping
this branch's side, which dropped nine strings main had added (Utilities
panel, drawing colours, cockpit exit). Rebuild each catalog as main's copy
plus Sea Marks and Ski Pistes, and re-pin the voice tool schema length and
digests on top of main's Utilities target.
Remaining review follow-ups for the sonar pulses.
No self-echo: pulses are born 5 km out (startFraction of the radius),
but contacts nearer than that, the subject included, still lit on every
pulse birth. They now never echo. Just past the birth ring, an echo is
scaled with the front's own fade-in, so a bracket no longer flashes
before a visible front reaches it. The ring flash at the full radius is
unchanged.
Older Safari: the reduced-motion listener falls back to the media
query's addListener / removeListener when addEventListener is missing,
as other modules here already do.
Echo wiring test: a detectionHost test now paints through the real
detection lane with an echo field set, and checks the echo stroke takes
the echo colour on the default style and each style's line colour under
CRT, NVG and FLIR. CURRENT-STATE notes the 5 km no-echo zone.
Tightening the AREAS rule dropped "to outline it (draw=true)", and on Gemini
"Outline the state of Texas" stopped passing draw: none of 5 runs set it, so
the model drew the state again with annotate_map. With the clause back all 4
runs called resolve_area with draw. The prompt is 55,263 characters with an
operator Overpass, ~240 under the 55,500 ceiling.
Review follow-up for the sonar pulses (the non-blocking items).
Unpickable pulses: the three pulse lines were polyline entities, which
Cesium always picks, so near-miss and touch picks around them became
unowned hits. They are now drawn by the pulse disc's shader, which
already drew the gradient and is built with allowPicking false. Each
line keeps the polyline outline material's look: 3 CSS px wide with a
1 px dark outline in the ring's colours, measured from the screen-space
gradient of the disc's radius times czm_pixelRatio, as Cesium's contour
material does. Without derivatives only the gradient band is drawn.
Disc follow: with the lines on the disc, it is rebuilt after the subject
moves 500 m instead of 2 km, so the pulses stay concentric with the
ring. A resting disc is hidden and not rebuilt; it catches up when the
pulses wake.
Camera below the disc: the disc sits 2.5 km above the ellipsoid with
faceForward, so from a lower camera it swept across the sky. It is now
hidden while the camera is below that height.
Echo palette: echo brackets keep the pulse blue on the default
detection style and take the style's line colour under NVG, FLIR and
CRT.
Echo test: the detection renderer's echo maths moves into
awarenessEchoBracket and awarenessEchoColor in src/awarenessEcho.js,
tested directly instead of running a regex slice of detection.js
through vm, and the one-sided spread assert is now two-sided.
The positions reuse parameter of awarenessRangeRingPositions and the
pulse segment count had no callers left and are removed.
From review:
- Card lines the actions write in English (area basis, part counts, merged
duplicates, OSM caveats, the imagery window) are shown in the UI
language through the analyst card's note path; the model still gets the
English. One OSM place reads "1 hospital".
- Same-named clarification choices show their region code (WA, DC).
- OSM Places shows as unavailable once the server says no Overpass is
configured, and its points are depth-tested past 2.5 km so they never
show through the globe.
- find_imagery puts the operator's sources and mode back when a box is
refused, and a voice search cancelled mid-flight leaves "Search
cancelled" instead of an empty strip.
- The README lists OSM Places with the other Utilities.
From review:
- The browser client for /api/osm/features gets its own tests (request
shape, abort, network failure, coded refusals), and a 200 whose body is
not JSON is now a failure instead of zero places.
- An end-to-end test runs resolve_area, osm_query and an analyst follow-up
through the real runner and checks the follow-up keeps the area; it fails
with the wiring reverted.
- The Realtime token test pins Overpass off and compares the full tool
schemas again instead of names taken from the environment.
From review: a row inside a large area pays a ray cast over every edge, so
20,000 rows against a 6,000-vertex outline made ~200 ms long tasks. The scan
now also yields once ~8 ms have passed, checked every 256 rows. An ambiguous
region refusal also tells the model the way back: resolve_area with the
picked candidateId, then analyst_query over that area.
From review:
- An answer the view picked ("Springfield" over Illinois) is reused or
shared only within the same ~2° view cell, so asking again elsewhere no
longer gets the first state's area.
- Admin names compare with accents folded on Latin letters only: "Quebec"
matches "Québec" and "Cordoba" asks between Argentina and Spain, while a
Thai or Devanagari mark still tells names apart.
- A Natural Earth name used by several features is one place with every
part when they touch (the Great Rift Valley, the Lau Group across 180°)
and a question when they are far apart (Flores); natural places can now
be candidates.
- The AREAS rule and the area tool descriptions are tighter, leaving a
~270-character margin under the 55,500 prompt ceiling, and resolve_area
no longer names osm_query when that tool is not offered.
From review:
- /api/osm/features now refuses cross-site browser requests like the other
quota-bearing routes, so a page elsewhere cannot spend the operator's
Overpass. SECURITY.md lists the route, its limits and its disk cache.
- One client runs one search at a time and two run at once in all, instead
of one global slot any single client could hold.
- A search gets 45 s across every configured endpoint in turn, answered 504
when it runs out.
- A cache write no longer waits on the disk prune; prune() waits until the
cache is idle for callers that need it.
Cesium zooms a shallow view out by backing along the cursor ray with
heading and pitch held fixed, and GEV set no zoom ceiling. Past ~700 km
the limb drops below the fixed pitch, the steps grow with height, and
the camera flies off into space.
Cap user zoom at 40,000 km (whole-Earth view; flights are not limited)
and, above 300 km during a user wheel, pinch or right-drag zoom-out,
ease the pitch down to at least 8 degrees below the Earth's limb. The
clamp yields to disabled inputs, tracked transforms and camera flights.
Review follow-up for the sonar pulses.
Bounded repaint: the pulses used to ask for a frame every 80 ms from a
setInterval for as long as a subject was shown, so a parked view
repainted at 12.5 fps indefinitely. They now run for 9 s (three ring
flashes) after a selection or a camera move, fading in and out over
1.2 s, then rest: the ring stands on screen at full strength, the pulse
lines and gradient disc are hidden, echoes stop, and nothing asks for
frames. A moving subject does not wake them, since a flying subject
moves on every refresh. The lifecycle's existing camera pose signature
wakes them.
No beat with the Cyber sonar: the setInterval is replaced by a
postRender-armed setTimeout on CYBER_SONAR_RENDER_INTERVAL_MS, as in
cyberSonarScene. Every drawn frame, whoever asked for it, re-arms the
request 80 ms later, so requests never land inside the detection
lane's 80 ms gate.
Reduced motion mid-session: a change listener on the media query
rebuilds the visual, and the same-subject refresh path rebuilds when
the preference no longer matches. The listener is removed in
clearVisual.
Readable edge: restOpacity goes from 0 to 0.4, so the 250 km ring stays
visible between flashes, in screenshots and for low-vision viewers.
The echo field takes an optional level so echoes rest with the pulses.
CURRENT-STATE and the changelog fragment describe the bounded run and
the dimmed ring.
Tests: render requests stop after the bound and stay stopped for a
minute; a camera move seen by the lifecycle wakes them for another
bounded run; a foreign frame postpones the next request to 80 ms after
it; reduced motion flipped by event and by a later refresh; the ring
never drops below restOpacity; echoes scale with the level; the level
fades in, holds, fades out and keeps its value when woken.
A radius the user gives always draws a buffer, but the enclosing outline
was still looked up first (up to 6 s and a guarded Nominatim request) and
then thrown away. It is no longer requested. The slow-outline test now
checks the default 250 m fallback it was meant to cover.
The outline rungs recorded only the credit kind, so the voice area code
never saw 'openfreemap' or 'nominatim' and stored every such outline as
the Overpass rung, even with no Overpass configured. Voice geometry tagged
the source originally; the merge with main kept main's untagged rungs and
its test pinning the absence. The tag is restored and the test now asserts
it for both sources.
Three resolver fixes from checking the review focus:
- A natural region named like a country or state no longer hides it.
"India" was the peninsula, "Japan" an island group, "Florida" the
peninsula and "Punjab" a desert, so bare "Punjab" never asked which one.
The region still answers when asked for by level, and when no unit truly
has the name ("Great Britain" finds the United Kingdom only by alias).
- Same-named units get their own candidate: "Washington" offered WA and DC
with one id, so either choice was DC and a DC lookup overwrote a stored
Washington State. Ids now carry the region code, and choices show it.
- A bundled unit that only shares the name ("Azad Kashmir" for "Kashmir")
no longer ends the search; the outline ladder still looks, and the
mismatch is kept if it finds nothing. Retired zones stay refused.
The /api/osm/features cache key was the query alone, kept for a day, so after
an operator repointed OVERPASS_UPSTREAMS the old instance's answers were still
served. The key now includes the configured-upstream tag, as main's other
Overpass caches check it, so a new instance is always asked.
osm_query handed its places to the analyst with no presentation, so "which of
those have emergency?" after "hospitals in Kathmandu" was answered as "anywhere
in the loaded data". The handoff now carries the scope the places were found
in ("inside Kathmandu" with its areaId, or "in view"), as an analyst count over
that area would.
Every name ending in "Zone" was kept without a level and refused as a retired
administrative identity. That is right for Nepal, which replaced its zones in
2015, but zones are current units elsewhere: Ethiopia's "Gamo Zone" was
refused. The selector now keeps the verified level unless display_name places
the zone in Nepal or names no country, and the client no longer reads "Zone"
as a retired level when the source verified one.
The cancelled and failed branches ran before the say-line branch, so a
cancelled panel change no longer said "Cockpit exited; the voice panel was
left as you last set it", and AREA_TIMEOUT / OSM_TIMEOUT got "tell the user it
failed" instead of the tool description's "retry once". A cancelled or failed
result with a say line now has it spoken, and those two timeouts are retried
once. Both providers share this instruction.
Picks up the Radio Next/Previous fix (#1474) and the Codespaces docs
(#1515). The one conflict is the Radio cycle assertion in
gevActions.test.mjs: main's new fallback flag is kept in this branch's
layout.
Pulses: three dim rings grow from the Global Context subject to the
250 km range ring at constant speed, one every 3 s, each taking 9 s.
Each fades in over its first 8% of travel, then fades as
(1 - travel)^1.5 to about a third of its 60% peak, so it arrives at the
ring dim but visible. They are 3 px in the ring's colours, as polylines
with CallbackProperty positions and colours that share the ring's
centre object, so they follow a moving subject.
Ring: while pulses run, the 250 km ring rests unseen and flashes to full
strength as each pulse reaches it, fading over 1.8 s. Without pulses
(reduced motion, or a scene with no primitives or preRender hook) it
stays on screen as before.
Gradient: behind each pulse a radial band in the same blue fades inward
over 35% of the radius. One flat, translucent, unpickable 250 km disc
draws it with a small Fabric material. A preRender listener writes the
pulse radii and opacities into two vec4 uniforms each frame. The disc
(0.25 degree granularity, ~3.5 ms to build) is rebuilt only after the
subject moves 2 km.
Echoes: as a pulse front crosses a flight, military aircraft or AIS
vessel, the detection overlay draws a second bracket in the pulse blue
around that contact's own bracket, spreading outward as it fades over
1.4 s. Awareness publishes the field (centre, radius, pulse timing,
echo styling) through the new src/awarenessEcho.js. The overlay reads
it, so no layer's icon or colour is touched. Mapped installations have
no detection bracket, so they do not echo.
Rendering cost: pulses never hold continuous rendering. They ask for a
frame every 80 ms, the Cyber sonar's parked cadence, so a parked
Contacts view repaints at ~12.5 fps while a subject is shown. This
changes the "parked Contacts stays quiet" behaviour on purpose.
clearVisual stops the timer and removes the disc, the listener and the
echo field.
awarenessRangeRingPositions can now reuse a result array, and passes the
WGS84 ellipsoid explicitly so a reused Cartesian never lands in the
ellipsoid argument. Tuning lives in AWARENESS_RANGE_PULSE,
AWARENESS_RANGE_ECHO and AWARENESS_RANGE_RING_STYLE. src/awarenessEcho.js
is registered in the awareness-layer, application-components and
application-layer-construction packages.
Tests cover:
- the pulse curve and calm rate;
- the ring flash once per arrival, and the static ring without pulses;
- the 80 ms frame cadence and its stop;
- the partial-scene fallback;
- the gradient disc: unpickable, uniform values, rebuild and cleanup;
- per-frame evaluation, and the echo field following the subject;
- awarenessEcho strength, rim wrap, layer filter and altitude handling;
- the detection renderer's echo-bracket band and outward spread.
The Global Context range ring was a Cesium ellipse outline at 1 px in
rgba(98,181,255,0.72). WebGL ignores larger ellipse outline widths, so it
could not be thickened, and it vanished over desert and snow and under the
FLIR, NVG and CRT styles.
Draw it as a polyline instead: a 4 px line with a 2 px Context-blue core
inside a 1 px dark halo on each side (PolylineOutlineMaterialProperty).
The halo gives luminance contrast on light and dark ground, which the
monochrome styles keep. The ring sits at the same 2.5 km height and
follows the subject on the same 250 m threshold. Positions come from a
new awarenessRangeRingPositions helper that stays within 50 m of 250 km.
Style values live in AWARENESS_RANGE_RING_STYLE (awareness/policy.js).
Adds rangeRing.test.mjs (geometry at equator, Sahara, Greenland and the
antimeridian; contrast; entity shape; follow threshold) and a
CURRENT-STATE note.
