The horizontal offset multiplied elapsed time by a sine, so flakes swung faster the longer the app ran. It is now the integral of the intended sway velocity, which stays bounded at any session age; Wind still scales the amplitude.

Exclusive presentation hides collapsed right-rail panels with display: none.
Skipping every display: none panel also skipped those, so panels the rail had
auto-collapsed stayed collapsed after the HUD was hidden or left Tactical.
Only panels hidden by other CSS are skipped now. Adds the changelog and
current-state notes.
The merge from main replaced the NYC DOT opt-in pack entry instead of
adding the Bing entry above it.

The round-3 verification found the shared point budget rebuilding a dense
tile by removing its lines before the new ones were built, so central
Paris vanished for 1–2 s after every pan:
- Tiles redrawn for a new share, or for a selected line the cap had left
out, go through the swap path: the old lines stay until the new ones
are ready.
- A share must move by 10% to redraw a tile (a 1.6% change rebuilt it).
- The selected line, admitted past the cap, is not counted against it,
so its tile no longer redraws on every settle.
- A selection the imagery filter hides is not redrawn for.
- Shares are recomputed when a refresh ends loading without a tile
finishing.

KartaView's later viewer changes are carried into the shared
photoViewer.js: the camera bearing (`bearingOf`), redrawing the same
photo after a GPU reset through `onReopen`, no pose while a lost context
recovers, the 2,560 px flat version only once the viewer outgrows
1,280 px, `refreshPose`, and one sharper-panorama load at a time with a
second look once it lands. Its tile cache's `keyOf` and `clear` move to
the shared tileCache.js. KartaView gets `onEscape` beside `onReopen`.

From the round-2 verification (approve with follow-ups), all follow-ups:
- The point budget is shared across the tiles in view once loading
settles (water-filling): a sparse tile keeps what it has, a dense city
centre takes the rest instead of drawing thinner than its suburbs. The
selected sequence is always drawn, and selecting one a cap had left out
draws it.
- The cones' picture-list cache keeps only finished lists: a re-centre
while the cones loaded inherited the aborted load's tiles and drew
none in them.
- Douglas–Peucker measures to the segment, so dead ends and U-turns keep
their far end.
- Switching Panoramax off lets its decoded tiles and lists go.
- Picture downloads are counted while they stream (a host sending no
length cannot fill memory before the cap).
- Comments on the via caption and the simplification tolerance match the
code.

Esc moved to the viewer's box (`.sl-viewer-wrap`) in the last commit, but
without one it was a second keydown listener on the root; Esc is now taken
by the root's own handler there. format-scope.json listed
panorama.test.mjs twice, which made the formatter refuse the scope; the
files it skipped are formatted.

From a five-lens IC8 review (correctness, security, tests with mutation
testing, performance, UX):
- P0: over Paris at 12–60 km the unsimplified z10–z12 lines sent ~2M
points to Cesium's ground-polyline builder (gigabytes of geometry; the
tab hung). decode.js now simplifies lines (Douglas–Peucker, 4 tile
units: 6–10% of the points), and lineCoverage gains an opt-in point
budget (`maxPoints`, 10,000 a tile for Panoramax).
- Decoded coverage tiles are kept (KartaView's tile cache moves to the
shared tileCache.js); a sequence's z15 picture lists are kept and load
on their own connection; cones know their tiles from the start of a
load, so a picture opening meanwhile re-centres them and ‹ › no longer
restarts the load.
- The HD panorama loads only for the expanded viewer (a docked one on a
dense screen asked for 3 MB originals) and is aborted when another
photo opens; picture files over 48 MB or 16,384 px are refused; a
bitmap no renderer took after a context loss is closed.
- A nearest lookup survives one of its two searches failing; only a
timeout is retried; offline reads as unreachable; Retry-After is
capped at five minutes; the search box stays on the map at ±180°;
cones near both edges of a narrow (high-latitude) tile read both.
- Every producer is credited (app and photographer); with none to name,
the caption says "via <instance>" rather than crediting the host.
- Esc anywhere in the docked viewer (toolbar, caption) clears the
sequence before the panel takes it. A filter that hides every density
dot says so; wording aligned ("coverage", "photo").
- Tests for every surviving mutant (Esc consumed, keepOrder and dot-size
wiring, licence in the core, limiter aborts, radius floor, bbox corner,
first-producer-only, byte and size caps), a limiter test, and a gate
fixture that answers box searches and leaves out pictures facing away;
the gate now clicks over the other sequence's pictures, so only the
line click's own-sequence lookup can pass.

KartaView's server filters by upload date only, so SINCE goes by it
throughout for KartaView: the lines (as before), the photo a click opens
and the cones, the cut-off taken as its UTC day as KartaView's startDate
(passesKartaViewFilter). Providers may declare sinceBasis: 'upload'
(validated); while one is lit the panel shows "KartaView: by upload date"
under the SINCE slider, read out with it. The gate checks the note, and
step 13's picks get 60 s on a loaded machine.

KartaView filters coverage on its server only in its PNG tiles (its JSON
tiles come back empty with a filter), so a filtered tile's PNG is a mask
over the cached JSON segments: a segment stays when at least half the
points along it lie on drawn pixels. A filter change reloads the lines
(lineCoverage.reload keeps the drawn ones until the new ones are in);
masks are cached per filter and tile, and a filtered tile KartaView is
still drawing (504 or a timeout) is asked again, four tries in all.
The nearest lookup asks the photo API for the projection and date, and
the cones follow the filter like Mapillary's. The gate fixture draws
filtered PNG tiles and adds an older flat-only street; a new gate step
checks 360 and LAST YEAR thin KartaView's lines and ALL brings them back.

From a UX QA round in the browser against the live API:
- A line click could time out while coverage loaded: the meta-catalogue
speaks HTTP/1.1 only (six connections), and six tiles plus four
searches queued the lookup behind megabyte tiles. Tiles now take
three connections and searches two; a search that timed out is asked
once more.
- Between 30 and ~100 km Paris read as empty: the density grid is ~10 km
a cell. Lines now draw to 60 km (z10), as Mapillary's do; above, dots
grow with the pictures they stand for.
- Esc in the docked viewer collapsed the whole panel instead of clearing
the sequence the panel says it clears (shared photo viewer: KartaView
too). The viewer now offers Esc to the provider first; expanded, the
dialog keeps it.
- A picture whose producer is an email address is credited to the
instance holding it (its `via` host), so Licence Ouverte pictures name
their source.
- Empty states say why: "no Panoramax photos here match the filters"
when the filter hid every line, and nothing to zoom into over empty
sea. Wording follows KartaView's ("photos", "click a line for its
nearest photo").

From an adversarial functional QA round against the live API:
- The nearest lookup missed pictures looking away from the click
(place_position leaves them out at any tolerance): it now runs a
bounding-box search beside it and ranks both by distance. A line
clicked from high up searches its sequence within height / 100
(50–400 m).
- The per-tile line cap kept the newest sequences, not the longest
(lineCoverage re-sorted them): providers can now keep their decoded
order (`keepOrder`).
- A long producer name froze the tab (quadratic email regex): linear
check. A malformed link escape no longer fails the lookup; null or
string coordinates no longer land at 0,0.
- A line with no camera type or day stays drawn under the filters.
- A sky click on a line changes nothing (as KartaView), instead of
selecting a sequence with no cones.
- An unreadable tile reads as such; a failed neighbour z15 tile only
thins the cones; unknown or refused ids say the picture is gone.
- Shared viewer: the sharp-panorama guard is per open (a late download
of the previous photo no longer lets a second one start); an HD-only
360° picture is shrunk or skipped like any original; panorama.js read
the bitmap size after closing it, so 2:1 power-of-two panoramas
clamped instead of wrapping.
- Tests for each, and for the gaps mutation testing found (preferred
point, cone order, no reload within drawn tiles, newest-first gate,
stale bitmap release, flat upgrade retry).

Panoramax, the open federated street-level commons, registers beside
Mapillary, Google Street View and KartaView. Its meta-catalogue
(api.panoramax.xyz) is keyless and CORS-open, so it runs in the browser:
- coverage from its vector tiles: sequence lines at z11–14 below 30 km
(longest first under the per-tile cap), and above that the grid layer's
density cells as binned points, not counted as sequences;
- a click on a line opens that sequence's picture nearest the click
(STAC search, any direction), without moving the camera, then any
sequence's if it has none within 50 m; the 360° and since filters go to
the lines and to the API;
- cones from the z15 tiles' pictures layer around the open picture
(~110 bytes a picture, against ~7.5 kB for a STAC item), re-centred when
a picture opens outside them; ‹ › follow the picture's prev/next links;
- the caption names the author (not an account named by an email
address) and the picture's licence (StreetPose `license`), and links to
the picture in the Panoramax viewer; the globe credits Panoramax.
KartaView's viewer becomes the shared photoViewer.js (flat <img>, 360° on
panorama.js, ‹ ›, keyboard, pinch, context loss), driven by a per-provider
PhotoSources table; the request limiter moves to limiter.js. Panoramax shows
the 2,048 px SD derivative and fetches the HD original only when the viewer
is wide enough, once, shrunk while it decodes (never above 8,192 px).
Orange #ff6f00 (Panoramax's own), off by default, share option
0.m.0_0.r.panoramax-1. The MCP panel allows the meta-catalogue and the
biggest instances. Tests: policy, decode, source, viewer, provider, and a
Panoramax fixture in the hermetic browser gate.

- Viewer: resizes while a sharper photo loads start no second load (the
last size is looked at once it lands); decoded bitmaps nobody will draw
(an overtaken preview or upgrade) are closed.
- Cones: a photo opened while the drive's first page loads is the one
they centre on.
- A sequence page that lands while a lost WebGL context recovers keeps
its cones: no pose is emitted without a renderer, and a viewer error
never rejects page data.
- Source: an answer turned away unread (HTTP error, 429, length past the
cap) aborts its request and cancels its body, freeing the connection.
- Gate: findPickPoint no longer picks each centre five times at radius 0,
aims step 13's cone pick at the drawn billboards, and caps each
evaluation at 4 s, resuming from a cursor on the next poll, so a slow
machine cannot spend a whole wait in one evaluation.
