src/data/followed.js answers what the camera follows: the camera port's
target, or the entity a layer still tracks itself, seen through the same
fields. Ownership checks, render holds, guards, voice actions, the CCTV
pacing and the navigation release paths read it instead of Cesium's
trackedEntity, so they keep working when layers follow through the port.
The release paths stop following, cancel the flight and release the
camera through the port. The rotate refusal names the followed target by
its name or label title.
The Cesium camera port gains move, look, rotateAround and zoom, and the
browser conformance run now checks them, the lookAt-frame commands, the
changed thresholds and moveEnd (timed by the clock, not a frame count).
Orbit, the Bhote Koshi focus and cinematic, the launch zoom anchor and
replay chase, the camera verbs' motion tick and roll levelling, and
voice zoom write through the port.
About 20 sites called scene.sampleHeight, globe.getHeight,
scene.clampToHeight or the MostDetailed variants directly, each with its own
idea of a miss (undefined, NaN, a throw). They now ask heightsFor(scene) in
src/queries/heights.js:
- now(point, { against, exclude }) answers from what is loaded, or null;
against is 'surface' (what is drawn) or 'terrain' (loaded terrain only).
- clampNow(position) moves a position onto the drawn surface, or null.
- batch() and clampBatch() wait for the most detailed tiles: null per
missed point, a rejection when the whole query fails.
- supported() reports { surface, clamp } without allocating.
Cesium still answers now() synchronously, so nothing changes on screen and
nothing is slower: in the live app 1,000 calls cost the same through the
service as direct (terrain 0.5-0.7 ms, surface 2-6 ms a call, run-to-run
noise larger than the difference). Every site already treated a miss as
"hold the last value or fall back"; a renderer that can only answer from a
cache or asynchronously can now plug in at one place.
- A Bhote Koshi evidence point whose terrain sample misses stays at its
fallback elevation instead of reading the miss as sea level.
- The mesh floor sampler skips a scene without depth-texture support
instead of spending its budget on probes that throw.
- The world annotation probe's trace reads hit/missed.
- A source scan forbids direct height calls outside the service.
The service is exported as ./queries/heights and documented in
docs/APPLICATION.md.
Answers the review of bdbbc3d7 and the IC8 pass after it.
A shape hidden from Draw's list was only set to alpha 0, so the line's
flowing stroke, which keeps its own colour, stayed painted. Now:
- the world renderer's sync() sets every entity of a hidden mark to
show = false, and FlowMaterialProperty follows the mark's alpha;
- the screen renderer does not project a hidden callout, so it is not drawn
and cannot push a visible label aside;
- hiding acts at once, even before a mark's first frame, and with every
mark hidden the annotations render hold is released after one last frame;
- fly_route skips a hidden route.
Hand-drawn shapes are never merged as duplicates: every one is drawn on
purpose and unnamed until its row names it, so a second pin dropped near
the first was dropped, or replaced the first when its colour differed. A
restyle the renderer cannot draw now also syncs the renderer.
Tests cover each: renderer show/hide and flow alpha, the screen skip, the
render hold and its last frame, a show with no fade-in, hidden routes, two
nearby pins, and the restyle rollback.
Supersedes #219 by @spcpza, ported onto the current component layout with fixes from review.
Verified before merge: format, package boundaries, unit suite, build, and the browser tracking suite; a browser harness for the change where one applies; adversarial review applied.

The first formal release.
- One-click install via Pinokio; keyless boot lands on a live Esri World
Imagery satellite globe with keyless terrain, with automatic OSM fallback
and graceful degradation when terrain is unavailable.
- Provider Settings (the POWER UP panel): add, replace, or remove API keys
inside the app; credential files made owner-only before any secret is
written; external keys shown read-only; the panel refuses shared or proxied
servers.
- Keyless capability responses for the optional HUD summary and place search.
- Aircraft-identity voice answers cover operator, type, and route, and say so
plainly when enrichment is unavailable.
- README rewritten keyless-first; concise 0.1.0 changelog section; CI
workflow included.
Gates: 2,672 unit tests pass / 0 fail, build clean, tracking regression
108/108, map-source tray QA pass, setup doctor ready.
