From the whole-globe view the camera could end up facing empty space with
only stars on screen. Cesium's free look (Shift+drag) turns the camera in
place, and from 18,000 km the planet's edge is only about 15 degrees from
nadir, so a few drags turned it out of frame. The rolled pose was then
saved into the share hash, so a reload or shared link opened on stars too.
- Allow free look only below 1,000 km. Orbit, tilt and zoom are unchanged.
- Measure how much of the frame shows the planet's surface by casting a
32x18 grid of view rays at the WGS84 ellipsoid. While the scope mask is
on (the default) only the rays inside its keyhole count, since the mask
hides or dims the rest of the frame.
- When a camera move ends above 1,000 km with no ray on the surface, turn
straight down at the same position and heading. Limb glow and a sliver
up to about one grid cell thick can count as out of view. The end of a
move comes from Cesium's moveEnd and from a check of its own that
samples the pose every 250 ms after moveStart and acts once it has held
for half a second: at some of these poses the camera drifts by a
rounding error every frame, so Cesium never sees it stop and never
raises moveEnd. The zoom-out guard from #1522 keeps wheel and pinch
zoom-outs in view; this catches the other ways a move can end looking
away, such as a saved or shared view that did, or a
drag that Cesium turns into an in-place look below its 7,500 km
trackball height (one that starts on the stars, or a tilt drag with the
screen centre off the planet). Views with more surface, tracked or
locked cameras and the 2D and Columbus modes are left alone.
- Voice tilt and in-place turns of a free 3D globe camera above 1,000 km
stop when about a tenth of the frame still shows the planet (or about as
much as it showed when it started, two grid cells of sampling noise
allowed), never below about 1% of the visible frame; a view that already
shows less only keeps or gains what it has. A turn that cannot go half a
degree further without crossing that limit is refused with a reason
instead of reported as done, and a turn it accepts turns at least that
half degree. A turn that keeps or gains surface is not refused, even
after the window has been resized, except that near the limit, where the
planet's edge crosses the sample grid, sampling wobble can occasionally
refuse one (most often above about 15,000 km and on phone or ultrawide
frames); nothing then turns away from the planet. A turn that starts
where the last voice turn left the camera keeps that turn's limit, or a
higher one if the planet now fills more, so repeating the request does
not take any more; once anything else has moved or turned the camera, a
turn is measured from what is on screen. A request made while the camera
is tracked is judged by the pose voice's release of the follow camera
will leave, before that release, so a refused turn keeps the tracking.
The frame measure and the look-step limit live in src/globeInView.js,
shared by the viewer and the voice camera verbs.
Picks up #1527, which restores the 97 format-scope entries an earlier merge
dropped; this branch had kept the same 97. The resolved list is main's plus
this PR's 12 test and helper files, 1,222 paths, all present.
The guard's own tests pass even if createApplicationControls stops
installing it. This checks the ceiling and frame listeners are in place
after construction and gone after teardown.
Merge commit 34906c9a resolved the end-of-list conflict in scripts/format-scope.json with the branch's side, which dropped the 97 entries main had appended since Oct 26. Those files all still exist; 64 of them are tests that runtime discovery does not cover, so format:check had stopped checking them.
Each entry goes back at its position on main before the merge. All 1680 files pass npm run format:check.
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.
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.
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.
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.
- strip control and format characters from OSM tag values, keeping the
zero-width (non-)joiners Persian and Indic names spell with, and cut
them at 120 code points so a name cannot steer or flood the model
- adopt the nine new geometry test files in format-scope.json; five of
them change by formatting only
Both stack parents (#837, #842) are on main, so the voice geometry branch
now builds on main directly. Conflict resolutions keep main's behaviour and
add the geometry work on top: osm_query gating on every provider, restored
admin identity for Nominatim outlines, merged analyst follow-up memory, and
the cancelled Globe View reset instruction ahead of the generic cancellation.
Opening Utilities while Data Layers is open no longer forgets that Contact
was folded for the first, and closing one of them leaves Contact folded
while the other is still open. Enter and Esc in a drawn shape's name keep
focus in the field instead of dropping it to the page. The draw tool's
destroy test now checks it stops following the board, and the Draw gate's
amber-count comment sits on its function again.
- One place-name key for server and tiles, so "St. Paul" and "Saint Paul"
agree in Nominatim name checks.
- Tile street names: a lone letter is a direction only beside another name
word ("E Street" is not "East Street"), and a trailing quadrant ("E St NW")
may go unsaid in the ask.
- A building cut at the tile edge that is nearer the point than any whole
one leaves the point instead of a farther neighbour standing in; an edge
without a tile buffer counts as a cut, so a cut area never answers grounds.
- A batch building install re-judges only results that installed; a late
timeout during caption conversion keeps the pending point drawn; a failed
plain recaption keeps the old mark addressable.
- An interrupted Nominatim dispatch is reclaimed by the next lock owner ten
minutes after the start its marker names; node:sqlite loads on first use
without its experimental warning.
- PHOTON_URL accepts only https, which the page's connect-src allows.
- Shared OpenFreeMap tiles decode each layer when a consumer first selects
it; outline selection reuses the shared ring area and simplification, and
ground probes the shared ring centroid; the grounds word list lives once.
qa-draw-tool drives the rows, waits on a mark's state instead of fixed
sleeps, checks that fly-to centres the line, and compares two screenshots to
show a hidden Line's pixels go and come back. Its clicks and pixel clip stay
clear of the Utilities panel beside the left rail. qa-layer-panel checks
that Directions returns to the Utilities list after a reassembly.
main moved the panels to Vue views and a one-open-panel rail, and removed
the two templates this branch edited. This merge carries the branch onto
that architecture; it adds no behaviour of its own beyond the port.
- The Utilities panel is a RailPanel in LayerPanelsView with its own rail
item (handyman). LayerPanel renders the Directions rows into its list with
LayerRows, and falls back to Data Layers without it.
- Draw leaves DisplayPanel for DrawControls, DrawMarkList and DrawSwatches,
which render what the draw tool publishes to the display store and call
its actions, as GeoImport does. drawMarks.js words the rows; the DOM-built
drawMarkList.js is gone. A row's fly-to is an immediate navigation like
Import's ('drawing' gets its Cockpit refusal), the name field keeps a
draft through v-field-value, and the colours are one radio group with a
single tab stop.
- UiSegmented draws an option's icon, named by its label, for the shape
buttons.
- The catalogs take main's languages with this branch's strings, Arabic
included, and the tests follow the views to their new homes.
Main moved on since this PR opened; the overlay layer is ported to the
current contracts:
- Layer-state token 6 (j belongs to transit; new single-character
tokens are digits) with a reservation-ledger row, and the option owner
renamed to the layer id so the compact share codec can encode it.
- Constructed per catalog by createOsmOverlaysLayer() in
constructCatalog.js; src/standalone/data.js no longer registers layers.
- Drapes through maps/imageryHost.js, so the overlays show on Google 3D
(tileset imagery) as well as the globe stacks, and follow map-stack
switches. Imagery layers are created on enable and destroyed on
disable/destroy.
- Translated chip labels and layer name in every locale, LAYER_NAME_KEYS,
Infrastructure panel group, voice manifest entry.
- Attribution: OpenSeaMap tiles CC BY-SA 2.0, OpenSnowMap credit as
required, OSM ODbL credit for both; bulk-download note in DATA_SOURCES.
- CURRENT-STATE row, changelog fragment, share-codec absent defaults,
updated token-ledger fixtures and voice schema pins.
A release that only selects a station now stops the looping noise source and suspends its AudioContext. The qa-radio dial scenarios start from an active stream, or expect a silent release from a stopped Radio.
- The proxy keeps combining marks, in-word apostrophes and name dots
(ar vowel signs, fr d'Orléans, ja ・), normalizes to NFC, caps every
summary in characters and cuts at a word boundary.
- feedState is nullable instead of a `none` token, and the summary has at
most five words: "exactly five" made the model pad short views with
"no data" or "unavailable".
- The HUD caches only the model's words and adds the current warning on
every paint; an RTL locale gets a leading right-to-left mark.
- The echo check also rejects an all-Latin reply in a non-Latin language,
translated layer ids and, with every feed healthy, the UNAVAILABLE word;
places are matched by word and one-word layer names are skipped in
Latin-script locales.
- The warning tag names the worst layers first; a partial analyst card
shows one partial chip.
Releasing the tuning dial always started the chosen station, plus tuning
static, even when nothing was playing. It now follows the Previous/Next
rule: the release plays only if a stream was loading, buffering or playing
when the drag began; otherwise it just selects the station.
The privacy note no longer lists finishing tuning as a way to connect and
now names voice instead, in all locales. Docs, changelog and comments are
tightened to match.
main moved the Radio markup into Vue views and rebuilt the UI tests on
stores. Resolved:
- src/ui/templates/context.html: deleted in main; the new privacy note now
lives in src/ui/views/panels/RadioPanel.vue.
- src/ui/radioControls.test.mjs: main's store fixture; the Next/Previous
autoplay test drives store.act('cycleRadio').
- src/voice/gevRealtime.test.mjs: main's createTestVoiceUi; the stop and
select handoff cases stay one table-driven test.
- src/data/radioNextState.test.mjs reads the published gev-radio view.
- src/i18n/locales/ar.json: the new note translated for the Arabic locale.
- _relocalize() now drops the received reply and aborts one in flight, so
the next tick asks in the new language instead of keeping old-language
text under the new-language state tag.
- The English-echo check also allows state words inside a place label
(Estación Loading Dock).
- Reword the non-English instruction so it reads for every language name.
- Add the two new test files to the format scope.
Directions, the Contacts marker and panel, placed annotation labels, the
drawn-line measure, the Cockpit and formatRouteDistance each chose the unit
and precision on their own, and most chose before rounding: #1450, #1433 and
formatDistanceText or kilometreDigits from src/data/distanceFormat.js, which
cut after rounding. Each keeps its own metre step and rendering.
That also fixes the 10 km cut the Contacts marker and panel, the drawn-line
measure and the Cockpit still had (9,960 m read 10.0 km). The helper returns
kilometres already rounded, so the plain marker and the localized panel no
longer disagree on half-tenths such as 1,450 m.
A negative annotation distance now leaves the label without a distance, and
a drawn line with a coordinate that is not a number shows no measure, rather
than printing 0 m or NaN km. The HUD altitude tag and the spoken view height
keep their own unit choice.
Since the UI moved to single-file components, every unit-test process
compiled the views it imports from scratch, and the loader ran off-thread
(module.register), adding a round trip to every module a test imports,
including the ones that are not components. Core's unit tests took about
twice as long, and a host running Core's suite on smaller runners passed
its CI time limit.
register-vue now installs synchronous hooks on the loading thread
(module.registerHooks). Compiled components are kept in the system temp
directory, keyed by the file's path and text, the Vue version and the
loader's own code, so each one compiles once across test processes; the
compiler itself loads only on a cache miss. Cached modules run as code, so
the directory is used only when it is a real directory owned by the current
user and writable by no one else; on Windows it lives in the user's local
app data instead of a temp directory that may be shared. The cache never
sits inside the package tree, and GEV_VUE_CACHE=0 compiles every time.
On four cores the full suite went from 441 s to 240 s from a cold cache.
The transit, ALPR, vessel, CCTV and flight/military context fixes each
wrapped 359.5° to north with an inline Math.round(x) % 360. They now call
roundHeadingDegrees in src/data/headingDegrees.js, which also wraps negative
and multi-turn bearings. normalizeHeading moves there with it, and
cockpitMath re-exports it so existing imports keep working. It now adds a
turn only to a negative remainder, so a bearing just under half a degree
keeps its precision.
The awareness, Local ADS-B, cockpit wind, cockpit heading and Street Level
readouts use the same helper. The Cockpit's TRACK ACQUIRED signal rounded
without wrapping and could read COURSE 360°; it now uses
formatHeadingReadout, which shows --- for a track that is not finite.
