From the code review of #768:
- view.js measured the camera's height above ground with globe.getHeight,
but Google 3D hides the globe, so coverage picked its zoom from the
ellipsoidal height. Over a high city (Denver, ~1,600 m) a camera 500 m up
read 2,100 m: coverage stayed at z12/z13, whose tiles are too big to cast,
and lines stayed draped on the roofs. With the globe hidden, the bare-earth
height from the ground caster now answers; coverage re-picks its zoom when
the surface mode changes. Verified in Denver: terrain mode, z14, cast lines.
The core's surface check uses the same helper (and no longer subtracts the
2 m lift from the camera height).
- castTile rebuilt a tile even when no line could be cast (terrain proxy
down, tile too big); it now leaves such tiles as they are.
- The feature gate read Street Level's share token as a literal `0`; it now
takes it from LAYER_STATE_REGISTRY, since a rebase can reassign it.
New view.test.mjs covers the shown-globe, hidden-globe and no-sample cases.

The merge of main (c451478) appended main's new entries directly after
this branch's last entries in scripts/format-scope.json (after
streetLevel/index.test.mjs) and in two groups of
scripts/package-boundaries.json (after app/layers/streetLevel.js), without
the separating comma. Both files stopped parsing, so every CI job failed
at its first JSON read, the "Check adopted formatting" step.
With the commas back, the CI steps pass locally: doctor, format:check,
check:boundaries, layer-token:check against main, npm test (5475 pass),
build, and the Windows job's focused onboarding tests.

src/tools/surfaces.js lists the tools a surface leaves out, and the MCP
server, the voice session's tool list and the browser catalog voice calls
all filter through it. Voice leaves out tools that answer with images, link
to the app, or repeat what its app actions already answer.
The datacenter and dam layers parsed their bundled GeoJSON Lines and
built analyst records inside the Cesium-backed layer module. Move the
data URLs, the line parser, mapAnalystRecord and layerTitle unchanged to
src/sources/infrastructureData.js; the layer module imports them and
still exports mapAnalystRecord. The consumer-build pin lists the new
module.
Add find_alpr_cameras over the layer's OpenStreetMap camera extracts:
cameras in a US or Canadian area of at most 3° per side, nearest first,
with operator, manufacturer and facing direction, and the source's
attribution. Areas outside coverage or too wide are reported.
Add find_submarine_cables over the bundled TeleGeography data: cables
passing through or landing in an area, or matching a name, with landing
points and the dataset's attribution. The local MCP server's fetch reads
the bundled data files a browser would load by URL, and nothing outside
that directory.
Add get_recent_imagery. It searches the recent Harmonized Landsat and
Sentinel-2 catalog for an area, picks the image the layer would show
with the layer's own ranking, and returns it with its date, sensor and
cloud cover, falling back to the VIIRS daily overview.
Add get_weather_map, which returns the latest NOAA radar, satellite or
lightning map over an area as an image, choosing a window the image
route accepts and reporting areas outside the product's coverage, and
get_wind, which samples GFS or IFS wind at a location with the wind
layer's own grid sampling.
open_in_gods_eye_view accepts layers and writes them with the app's own
share-link layer codec, so the link opens with those layers on. Layer
names are limited to the registered layer ids.
layerState.js held both the share-link layer codec and the coordinator
that restores layer choices into the running app and persists them to
browser storage. Move the coordinator, unchanged, to
layerStateCoordinator.js so the codec stays a pure data module that code
outside the browser can use to write share links. The registry stays in
layerState.js, where the token tooling reads it, and the aircraft
barrel re-exports both.
Move the composition of the default tool services from the Node MCP
server into gods-eye-view/tools/services, a portable export. Given a
fetch that resolves the sources' /api paths, it builds the same services
in a browser as on the local MCP server, so other surfaces can compose
the same catalog. Queries still read only their services.
Mount the local MCP server at /mcp on the development and preview
servers for clients that connect by URL. The route accepts only
requests from this machine that name a loopback host and, when an
Origin is sent, come from a loopback origin, and drains oversized
bodies so the 413 response is delivered. The provider-order regression
test now pins the route between the providers and the API fallback.
Add open_in_gods_eye_view. It builds a version 2 share link looking
straight down on an area, with altitude chosen from the area's size, on
the app address the application supplies.
Add vessels_in_area, find_vessel and get_vessel_track over the live
vessel source, and a ships section in situation_brief. Without an AIS
key the source's own message reaches clients as an unavailable feed.
Add get_weather, get_regional_brief, get_cyclones, get_fire_perimeters,
get_terrain_height, find_military_installations and get_map_features
over the application request services and the layers' sources.
situation_brief combines weather, earthquakes, fires, aircraft and
cyclones for an area by reusing those tools, marking sections that are
unavailable instead of failing. get_hud_caption returns the app's
heads-up display caption for the same overview.
Add get_bike_share over the public GBFS systems and get_transit_vehicles
over the GTFS-Realtime feeds. Each finds the systems or feeds whose
coverage reaches the area, reads up to three, and reports any that were
unavailable instead of failing the whole answer. Transit results carry
each feed's attribution and license.
Add getFeeds() to the transit source. It reads the public catalog route
the server already serves, so code outside the layer can find feeds
near a location without loading the layer.
The bike-share layer parsed station documents inside its model factory.
Move the parsers unchanged to src/sources/gbfsStations.js and have the
model import them, so code outside the layer can read GBFS stations
without constructing the layer.
Add search_places and places_nearby over the app's Google Places routes,
and plan_route over its OpenStreetMap routing. The place search service
reports when no search key is configured, so an unconfigured server is
not mistaken for an empty result, and rate limits become retry_later.
Route endpoints accept a place name or coordinates.
Add find_cctv_cameras, get_cctv_snapshot and find_radio_stations. A
snapshot returns the camera's current frame as image content with its
credit. Tool results may now carry base64 images, which the MCP adapter
sends as image content.
Add aircraft_in_area, find_aircraft, get_aircraft_track and
get_aircraft_info over the live aircraft sources, with an optional
military feed, and next_satellite_pass and satellites_overhead over the
satellite catalog and the existing pass predictor.
Source failures from the live contract now become tool errors with the
matching code, so a rate limit reaches clients as retry_later with a
wait time. Tool schemas may use pattern.
The satellites layer parsed catalog text inside its Cesium-backed orbit
owner. Move the parser unchanged to src/sources/tle.js, add a catalog
number helper, and have the layer delegate to it so code outside the
layer can read TLE text without loading rendering.
Define tools that answer questions from the app's data once, independent
of the surface that exposes them. A tool declares its arguments and the
services it reads; applications compose tools with their own services and
optional call interceptors. Queries reuse the layers' portable source
factories, so they run wherever an application routes /api requests.
The first queries are get_earthquakes, get_active_fires and
get_recent_launches, with a shared area argument (place name, bounding
box, or point and radius) and capped lists.
gods-eye-view/tools/mcp adapts a catalog to the Model Context Protocol
with a small JSON-RPC handler and a stateless HTTP transport, adding no
dependencies. npm run mcp serves Core's tools over stdio to local clients
such as Claude Code, reading from a running app. Both exports are
portable and checked by check:boundaries; the app does not import them.
Route every application-owned presentation string through the i18n
core: t() call sites across the app/layers/ui/data/voice surfaces,
data-i18n* attributes in the src/ui/templates/*.html markup (applied at
boot by applyDocumentTranslations from src/standalone/application.js),
and the dock locale selector (runtime-rendered from the offered pair —
a single EN button while only English ships).
Rebased onto current main, where the extraction follows the module
splits: the shell wiring now lands in the owner modules
(panelChrome, visualSettings, locationNavigation, shareRestoration,
shellFeedback, applicationShell) and the voice status corpus in the
realtime* modules; scene status lives in director.js +
playbackAdapter.js.
Modules shared with the node runtime (loadingFeedback,
installationFeedback, regionalModel, keySetupCore, vessels ingestion)
stay environment-neutral English and localize at their browser render
sites (chip maps in shellFeedback/installations controls, the weather
table in cockpitBriefing, keySetupRequirementEnvVars compositions), so
the package-boundary graph stays clean; the browser boundary groups
now own the i18n modules they reach (scripts/package-boundaries.json).
- Voice layer manifest (src/voice/layerManifest.js) generates the layer enums,
aliases and analyst field hints; a test fails when a catalog layer has no entry.
- analyst_query validates fields, operators, units, values and scopes, counts up
to 250,000 loaded records per layer, reports complete/partial/unanswered, tells
LAYER_OFF / NOT_READY / FEED_UNAVAILABLE apart from zero, refuses mismatched
follow-ups and never lets a superseded query replace follow-up memory. Seven
more layers expose analyst records.
- Tool results carry a code-built say line and a display card; the voice card in
the mic control shows captions, plan steps and the result
(src/voice/resultDisplay.js is the one adapter). Slow tools narrate their
current step out of band; holding Space while the assistant talks cuts it off.
Turn spans go to the debug log; caption transcription is metered; the log
omits what was said unless GEV_VOICE_LOG_CONTENT=1.
- Point and ask: the Space-down pointer snapshot resolves "this", "that one" and
"around here" through 'pointer' targets, and "the second one" through
referent:n from the last numbered list.
- Prompt states each policy once (instructions + tools 48.5k -> 46.7k chars).
- Voice benchmark harness (scripts/qa-voice-bench.mjs, scripts/voice-bench/)
shares its phrase table and grading with scripts/qa-voice-routing.mjs.
Traffic roads come from OpenFreeMap vector tiles, or TomTom flow tiles with a
key (Hybrid by default). Military areas use OpenFreeMap polygons with a bundled
worldwide name index; wide views show named points. ALPR reads an hourly
OpenStreetMap extract. Cockpit place context and country, state and US county
outlines use bundled Natural Earth and US Census data. Overpass is used only
when an operator configures their own endpoint.
Also: camera arrivals no longer land below ground, keyless terrain retries on
429, bounded relation geometry for configured Overpass, one shared
OpenStreetMap credit, and separate tile and API transports for embedders.

As more sources arrive, each one reads the same everywhere it appears: its
PROVIDERS chip, coverage lines, overview points, image cones and a single
legend swatch. The palette lives in one place, PROVIDER_COLORS in
src/layers/streetLevel/policy.js: Mapillary green (#05cb63), Panoramax
purple, Google Street View blue.
Mapillary drops its age dimming and magenta panoramas: lines and overview
points are Mapillary green, cones are green too and 360° images keep their
ring shape; the 360°/FLAT filter still separates them, and the selected
sequence stays GEV cyan.
The provider contract loses `legend`: `colors.coverage` is the source's one
colour, and the core composes the legend as one swatch per active source
(its name, its colour) followed by Selected. The chip group takes an
optional per-chip colour as a `--chip-color` CSS variable, written only
when it changes; Street Level chips show it as a swatch dot and, while on,
as the chip's border, text and a faint fill.
The feature gate checks the legend has one swatch per source plus Selected
and that the Mapillary chip carries #05cb63.

The panel changed the imagery filter and provider switches by calling the
layer directly, which bypasses the data manager's params request, the only
path saved state and share links record. A link copied after picking 360°
or a SINCE window came back with the defaults.
The controls now send those changes through
dataManager.setLayerParams('street-level', ..., { origin: 'user' }), as
the CCTV panel does; the layer applies them through its own setParams.
The feature gate's 360° step now asserts the share hash carries `0.p.p`;
it times out on the previous controls.

Brings in #744 (share-link token ledger). package.json: keep the branch's
sorted scripts and add layer-token:next and layer-token:check.
Street Level's token moves from the provisional `3` to `0`: following
CONTRIBUTING, the provisional entry was removed and
`npm run layer-token:next -- street-level` assigned `0` (free digits in
order). It is added to the registry and to
src/data/layerStateTokenReservations.json, and
`npm run layer-token:check -- --base-ref upstream/main` passes (28
published, 1 new). No link with the provisional token was ever published.
Pinned token tests move with the ledger as CONTRIBUTING asks: 29
reservations, next free digit `3`, and the competing-PR and retired-digit
scenarios shift up one free digit (0->3, 3->4) so they still test the same
rules. The README share examples and the free-digit notes in
CONTRIBUTING and CURRENT-STATE now read `0`.

Draped ground polylines and clamped billboards land on the top of the
Google Photorealistic 3D mesh, so on a street under trees or an overpass
the coverage seemed to float at roof height.
At street zoom on Google 3D (camera below 1,400 m, back above 1,800 m)
the core switches to a `terrain` surface mode. groundCast.js samples the
existing terrain service on the ground-floor grid (0.001 deg), interpolates
bilinearly and adds 2 m; Mapillary lines become plain polylines at those
heights, and cones and the position marker stand on the street, so the
mesh hides what is behind buildings and trees. A tile draws draped first
and swaps to its cast lines once the heights arrive, keeping the old lines
until the new primitives are ready. Lookups are once per tile and aborted
when the tile is dropped; a geoid fallback counts as unknown and leaves
lines draped. Other map stacks and higher views are unchanged.
Providers get getSurface() and groundCaster in their context and an
optional setSurface(mode); getUIState() exposes `surface`. The QA gate
checks draped on Esri and terrain on Google 3D.

npm test is the only suite CI runs, and its discovery walked src/ alone, so
server/providers/transitHistory.test.mjs has never executed since it was
added. Its 8 tests pass, so this was silent coverage loss rather than a hidden
failure: the file reads like covered code in review and never ran anywhere.
Add server/ to the searched roots, and pin the property with a test that walks
the repository itself and compares the two sets, so a tree added later without
updating the roots fails loudly instead of going quiet.
Suite goes from 5090 to 5099 tests, 0 failures: the 8 tests in that file plus
the regression test added here.
`CONTRIBUTING.md` asks every runtime change to add an entry at the top of
`CHANGELOG.md`, so two pull requests in flight write into the same few lines and
git has nothing to merge on. Against `main` at `81eb443`, `git merge-tree` over
the 85 open pull requests GitHub reports as conflicting that aren't mine puts
`CHANGELOG.md` in the conflict set of 41 — more than any other path — and for 6
it is the only one. `docs/CURRENT-STATE.md`, the other file rule 3 names,
conflicts for 23, and merges cleanly for 23 of the 41: edits land in the section
for the area you touched, so they only collide when the areas do.
A pull request now adds `changelog.d/<pull request>-<slug>.md` instead. Distinct
filenames never conflict, and the pull request number makes them distinct for
free. `npm run changelog` splices the directory into `CHANGELOG.md` and empties
it; `npm run changelog:check` reports the batch and changes nothing.
Fragment text is copied through unchanged apart from trailing whitespace.
`src/annotations/drawTool.test.mjs` reads `CHANGELOG.md` as prose and slices a
fixed window after a heading, so an assembler that reflowed an entry could move
text across that window. Fragments are deliberately outside
`scripts/format-scope.json` for the same reason.
The assembler refuses a batch before writing anything when a filename is not
`<pull request>-<slug>.md` or two fragments claim one pull request number, and
a unit test runs that check over the real `changelog.d/`, so a fragment the
release could not assemble fails `npm test` in the pull request that adds it
rather than at release time.
Refs #781.
The proxy already restricted WHERE it would go — https, an allowlisted host, a
station_information/station_status path, no redirects, a 12-second deadline and
a 5 MB body cap — but nothing restricted HOW OFTEN, so the dev server would
relay an unbounded stream of requests at a third-party bikeshare operator on
any caller's behalf, one outbound fetch and one timeout timer each.
Admit 120 requests/minute per client address, global backstop 3x, refused with
429 and `Retry-After` before the target is even parsed. The ceiling comes from
the layer's own demand: `src/layers/bikeshare/registry.js` catalogues 15
systems, station information is cached per city after its first fetch, and
station status refreshes once per city every STATUS_POLL_MS (60s) with
in-flight requests deduplicated — about 15 requests a minute with everything
in range, so 120 is eight times a maximal session.
The method, host, path, redirect, deadline and size guards are unchanged.
Refs #264
Route the six proxied fetches that still buffered upstream bodies without
a limit through the shared capped readers in src/sources/httpBody.js:
FIRMS CSV, CelesTrak TLE groups, adsb.lol /v2/mil (both the OK and
relayed-status paths), TomTom flow tiles, OpenSky states/all and adsbdb
enrichment lookups. Each cap is a bound sized well above the measured
payload, not a budget.
readResponseBytesCapped gains the same optional abort signal as the text
reader, with the same cancel-on-abort plumbing and reader release, so the
TomTom tile path can share the route deadline instead of reading
arrayBuffer() unbounded. Where a route already had a deadline, the same
signal now covers the body read as well as the headers. Two polls had no
deadline at all: the adsb.lol military poll gains a 12-second one and the
OpenSky states/all exchange, including its Basic-auth retry, a 20-second
one; both miss into their existing STALE paths.
FIRMS map-key status, the OpenSky token exchange and CCTV media are left
as they are.

FOLLOW puts the globe camera at eye height inside the street-level view; on
flat imagery or terrain there is nothing to stand among. The layer now takes
the application map stack controller (attachMapStackController), subscribes
to stack switches, offers FOLLOW only while the stack is 'photoreal', disables
the button with a MAP SOURCE hint elsewhere, and stops following when the
stack leaves Google 3D. Selection uninstall is a no-op when never installed.
The QA gate checks the disabled path and, when Google 3D is available, that
leaving it stops following; its caption-timeout dump now forces one render to
tell a missed update from a render fault.

At phone width the right rail is the band between mid-screen and the credit
line, so a 16:10 viewer plus its bar and caption was cut off. Below 720 px
the viewer's height is derived from that band (clamped 110-320 px); floating
and expanded viewers reset to auto height. The QA harness checks the photo
and caption fit at 390x844, and CURRENT-STATE documents the docking rules
and phone sizing.

- Only a user's own collapse docks a floating window; cockpit entry,
restores and the Cyber accordion no longer dock it or delete its saved
place, and the accordion leaves floating windows alone.
- The viewer host records an adapter as active only after its mount
succeeds, so a library that failed to load once is retried; concurrent
opens share one mount, and unmounting mid-mount leaves nothing active.
- openNearest tries every active provider; one provider's error (no key,
offline) no longer hides the others' imagery.
- The SINCE readout shows its cut-off date as soon as the committed value
matches the thumb, even while the slider keeps focus.
- A floating window that was only dragged is bounded to the viewport and
scrolls instead of running off-screen.
- getStats summarises coverage (summarizeCoverage) instead of building a
full UI snapshot every second; disable() uses credits.hideAll(); smaller
cleanups in the viewer host and sequence snapshot.
- Unit tests: panel docking and header double press, viewer-host mount
retry/sharing/cancel, coverage summary.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
- The viewer opens at the top of the panel, under the header, so the photo
is on screen without scrolling; its tools (EXPAND, FIT/FILL, FOLLOW, close)
sit in a bar above the image, clear of the provider's own overlays, and the
caption wraps instead of truncating.
- No separate ON/OFF or OPEN NEAREST PHOTO buttons: the header pill is the
layer switch, and a provider chip is lit only while the layer is on (the
last lit chip switches the layer off).
- SINCE is a stepped slider (any date to the last month) whose readout names
the cut-off date and is announced via aria-valuetext.
- The panel floats and resizes (portable spec); in a resized window the
viewer takes the spare height and only the settings scroll. SHRINK after
EXPAND, collapsing, or a header double-click docks it at its default size.
- FIT/FILL tooltips say what they do.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
- The rail's startup move of panels into #right-context-rail cleared every
panel's inline position, so a window restored as floating dropped back to
its rail place after a reload. Floating panels now keep their geometry.
- A header double-click never snapped a floating panel back in a real
browser: the drag handler's pointerdown preventDefault() suppresses the
mouse events a native dblclick is built from. Two presses within 400 ms and
6 px (no drag between) are now detected in pointerdown itself.
- Portable specs can ask to dock when collapsed (dockOnCollapse), and
PanelChrome exposes dockPanel(). Street Level opts in as a portable panel
(min 320 x 280) with dockOnCollapse.
- qa-panel-resize: the panel reader returns right/bottom (s/e handle points
were NaN), counts only visible rail panels like the rail does, parks the
window clear of the voice dock before the resize loop, and names the
element under the pointer when an assertion fails.

Bring in portable, resizable rail panels. The Street Level rail rules get
the same :not(.panel-floating) guard as CCTV's so the panel can float too.
