- src/data/local_data/dams/dams.geojson held the same 704 features as
dams.geojsonl, feature for feature. Only the JSONL file is loaded
(src/sources/infrastructureData.js), so the GeoJSON copy is dropped
and the dataset README no longer mentions it.
- public/models/ship.glb is not loaded anywhere: no module, template,
stylesheet or script names it. Its row in public/models/README.md
goes with it.
Together these remove 960,345 bytes of tracked data.
The far-plane comment said z = w (the code puts z just under w), the Milky
Way constant is a brightness, not an opacity, and the CDS acknowledgement
lives in the Data attribution popover, not DATA_SOURCES.md.

The fine 0.4 degree blur kept the residual glow of unresolved stars as
mottled patches at the band's edges. Blend towards a 2 degree blur where
the coarse copy is faint (smoothstep over 0.5-8 % of the range), so the
core keeps its dust lanes and the faint sky goes smooth. Faces 85 -> 62 kB.

Away from the galactic plane the ESO panorama keeps a mottled glow of
unresolved stars and dust. With the black level at the darkest quarter of
the sky and a hard cut, it showed as grey clouds with black holes around
the globe. The black level now sits at the median sky and eases in with a
soft knee on luminance, keeping each pixel's hue: high galactic latitudes
are black, the band keeps its glow. Faces shrink from 247 to 85 KB.
The changelog fragment also notes the anime fade and the new asset weight.

- Pass the custom sky box to the Viewer instead of `skyBox: false`, which
also stopped CesiumWidget from creating the Sun and the Moon. Guarded by
scripts/qa-sky-sun-moon.mjs.
- Outside the IAU 2006 tables (before 1975, after ~2050) the preload
resolves without data; remember that span and stay on TEME instead of
preloading and rendering every frame.
- The anime style no longer cel-shades the far plane, where four bands
turned the faint Milky Way into blotches.
- Paint the planets out after the star-removing opening and with the
ring median, so no brighter plateau is left; faces rebuilt.

Cesium's default Tycho-2 sky box is six 1024² JPEGs stretched 3–6× around
the whole-globe view, so space read as an over-compressed JPEG (HAL-627).
The scene now draws its own sky in the Scene#skyBox slot: the 9,096 stars
of the Yale Bright Star Catalogue as point sprites sized in CSS pixels
(magnitude → width and opacity, B−V → colour), over a soft, star-free
Milky Way cube map built from ESO/S. Brunier's panorama (CC BY 4.0). Both
layers share one ICRF→Earth-fixed rotation at the scene clock, with the
TEME rotation filling in until Cesium's IAU 2006 tables load.
Assets total 482 KB, built by scripts/build-bright-stars.mjs and
scripts/build-milky-way.mjs. Frame time and the idle render governor are
unchanged.

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.

Supersedes #438 by @rileygramlich, 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.
