Cesium culls a line the globe hides whole and does not depth-test lines
against the near side of a keyless globe, so the contract check runs the
hidden line round the back of the Earth to a visible end. The wildlife
switch scenario opens VISUAL PRESETS from the keyboard before tabbing to
the engine picker and reports the page state when no switch follows.
The orbital Context card is gone and the Contact card stays hidden in orbit
again. Live Signals page 1 had nothing in orbit but TRACK ACQUIRED, because
orbit feeds no Contacts snapshot; it now lists what is around the
satellite, built the way the aircraft rows are, five rows with stable keys
rebuilt once a second. Rows already shown keep their places while they
still qualify, so a site passing under a low orbit is not pulled from under
the pointer.
Site rows come from the Mapped Installations layer (getNearby, asked only
as far as the reach extends) and focus their site, or release it on the
focused site's row, which reads as the subject does. A site the layer drops
during its frequent reloads stays listed for 10 s, since sites do not move.
With the layer off nothing is listed and a SITES STANDBY row says why.
Satellite rows come from the satellites layer's bounded nearest query,
measured from the satellite itself, and ride the satellite; RETURN goes
back to the one before, skipping one that has left the catalogue. While
the camera hops to a new satellite only TRACK ACQUIRED and RETURN show, so
nothing is measured from the old position. An arrow pressed while a focus
eases back takes the arrows' own clock. Site and satellite rows name their
own actions.
In the satellite orbital view a single click on a mapped ground point (a
ground point of a layer that is on, such as a Mapped Installations site, a
fire or a local data pack feature) keeps the camera on it. Each frame the
look is aimed from the satellite's position to the point's Earth-fixed
position in the track-up nadir frame the arrows tilt, so the point stays
at the centre as the satellite moves. The swing onto the point, or between
points, uses the arrows' easing on a slower clock and then holds the point
exactly; reduced motion cuts.
A click elsewhere, FOCUS on the focused point, NADIR, Home or 0 ends the
focus and the view eases back to nadir; an arrow ends it and tilts on from
where the view is. The focus also ends, easing back, when the point leaves
the ±45° reach or the satellite's horizon, when its layer is turned off or
its record is dropped, and with the view. While focused the readout gives
the single off-nadir angle to the point (OFF-NADIR 23.4°), names it in a
polite live region, and the swath reads approximate as for a tilt. Clicks
still reach Cesium's own handler and never untrack the satellite; a click
a tool owns is ignored.
Under the readout, IN REACH lists the mapped points facing the satellite
that are within the reach or in the frame, nearest to nadir first and at
most 12, rebuilt once a second. A row opens the point's position, source
and OpenStreetMap tags (or its layer's properties); FOCUS focuses it,
switches to it, or ends the focus held on it, and is unavailable for a
point in frame but beyond the reach.
An imaging satellite with a known sensor can now zoom past 8x, up to 128x,
as far as the view stays at least as wide as the sensor's narrowest
standard swath at its live altitude; only swaths confirmed on a cited page
open those steps. The top step follows the altitude and window shape and
steps back when it falls below the zoom shown.
The view draws the sensor's swath to scale along the ground track with a
SENSOR SWATH readout (approximate off nadir), and a SENSOR button zooms to
exactly that width when it lies in range at nadir. From 16x the imagery
tiles the view will need 5 to 20 s ahead along the ground track are
pre-loaded at the matching level. The mouse wheel steps the zoom one notch
at a time, and the identity line shows how old the TLE is. The sensor
figures come from a new bundled pack of 46 Earth-observation platforms,
each value cited to its operator or agency, with its own data credit.
With a satellite tracked and no aircraft tracked, Cockpit can ride the
satellite. Entry needs only the Satellites layer; debris can be tracked but
not entered, and voice stays aircraft-only. Double-clicking the tracked
satellite or the entry buttons (reading ORBIT) enter it.
The camera sits on the satellite's per-frame SGP4 position and looks
straight down, turned to the ground track (north-up for a satellite with
none). The optical zoom steps 1x to 8x with a focus pull, the arrows tilt
the view up to 45 degrees off nadir, and Home or 0 returns to nadir. Off
nadir the tilt reads its total angle first and the swath readout becomes an
approximation marked with ≈. While in orbit the map leases flat Esri
imagery, the cloud pass stays off and the view opens in the optical style.
The orbital HUD names the satellite with its owner's flag (from the
flag-icons package, loaded per country) or an organisation badge, its
operator, class, NORAD and COSPAR ids and TLE epoch with the element lines
on request, altitude, orbital speed and the sub-satellite point. CURRENTLY
OVER names the country and its first-level division, or the sea, and from
8x the most prominent populated place nearby, looked up offline from the
bundled Natural Earth packs (populated places are a new pack). The
satellites layer hides the ridden satellite's own marks, dims the other
orbit rings and ignores scene clicks and Escape while held. Exit restores
the camera's field of view and the satellite's follow camera.
C no longer enters or leaves Cockpit, bridge or orbit: it is left to the
app-wide CCTV shortcut, and Escape or the exit button leave first person.
The orbital view reads a satellite's owner country, operator, COSPAR id,
TLE epoch and whether its class can be ridden. #1558 now carries only
what the class toggles read, so this brings the rest back here, where it
is first used: the classes.js helpers and the UCS pack's operator and
owner fields.
Only catalog and the tracked satellite were saved for the layer, so a class
chip lasted until the next reload and no share link carried it. The choice
is now the satellites option `classes`: one letter per class shown
(`sitpd` by default, `0` for none), with Starlink left to `catalog`, and
the layer takes the letters back through setParams. A partial request
(`{debris: false}`) hides only what it names.
The satellites layer now sorts every object into Stations, Imaging,
Telecom, Starlink, Probes or Debris, each with a chip and a live count on
the layer row. Stations and Imaging show by default; the Starlink chip is
the former DENSE catalog switch. Hidden classes keep their points, so a
toggle needs no reload, and they leave the detection overlay and the voice
position lists.
A class comes, strongest evidence first, from CelesTrak SATCAT (object type
and status, served by a new /api/celestrak-satcat/<group> proxy route and
cached for a day), the bundled UCS Satellite Database pack (operator, owner
country and purpose), name patterns for later launches, and the CelesTrak
group. The core catalog also reads the resource, weather, planet, sar and
science groups. Payloads with no evidence of life launched 20 or more years
ago are filed as debris. The UCS pack, its build script and its data credit
are added.
The ship bridge rules were appended to cockpit.css, taking it to 2705
lines; they move unchanged to cockpitBridge.css, imported right after it so
the cascade is the same. cockpitBridge.css and cockpitRadar.css join the
format scope and the styles package.
Layer display tests no longer re-check Cesium primitives in every layer:
they run on the fake engine, and one Cesium translation check per ground
kind lives in the Cesium engine's ground tests. Their harnesses are shared,
and the fake-engine, Cesium-engine and flights tests that repeated the
contract suite are gone, 340 tests in all.
The press-travel measurement is shared by the selection dispatcher and
CCTV, which loses its ScreenSpaceEventHandler shim and world-click module.
ALPR, installations and bikeshare share one selection keeper and selected
marker write. Layers with their own click rules keep their handlers.
Navara's pulse is a class like the ground pass, the ground and imagery
passes share the surface uniforms, and the colour, log-depth and occlusion
GLSL lives in one chunk module, each caller keeping its depth bias. The
ground suite runs inside the contract suite (--only=ground:), and fixture
and script names say what they test.
Behaviour is unchanged on both engines.
Every layer draws on both engines, so the per-engine availability
machinery always answered yes. The renderer manifest is now the id to
display map plus the wind flow backend; the catalog filter, the voice and
QA-probe refusals and the engine-kind checks go with it. The Navara
notice lists the same layers in the same words.
Paths that read the Cesium viewer behind an engine that is always there
are gone: the Recent Imagery viewer fallbacks, the shell's imagery-host
service (one shared host module remains), the engineless map controller,
viewer gates in voice actions, world packets and camera verbs, the
orientation controls' tracked-entity fallback, and the Bhote Koshi and
FIRMS Cesium-shaped paths. setCameraInputs, which nothing called, leaves
the contract; suspensions remain.
Smaller duplicates go too: one tracker-release helper for navigation and
location, the no-op frame latch, missing-engine guards, one name for the
injected display, flat bikeshare and installations displays, one overlay
host and binder, one name per world-overlay method, and stub-viewer
guards in the Cesium engine. Layers that still read the viewer keep the
shared init(viewer, context) entry.
Behaviour is unchanged on both engines. Viewer lines fall from 849 to
750 and engine-name literals from 32 to 27.
Remove code that nothing in the app, the runners or CI uses:
- the one-off migration compare, look and bench scripts and the vector
ground prototype they measured, with the bench tables in the docs;
- the unused Navara-named shared render modules (polygons, ground picks,
mover bank, ground ring);
- the Cesium-shaped aircraft and vessel test renderers, and the trail,
engineFromViewer and horizon-occluder helpers only they kept alive.
Their tests now run on the production displays over the fake engine;
- Navara's unread diagnostics, fallback ports, dead exports and
parameters, stale effect-chain anchors and the unread capability flags.
The QA scripts share one keyless guard and readiness wait, the session
harness reuses the strict harness's browser flags and block list, and the
harness honours QA_ANGLE and QA_RESERVED_PORTS. The bikeshare fixture
keeps only what its scenario reads. The docs name the engine picker where
it is (VISUAL PRESETS) and drop dated run results.
No behaviour changes on either engine. Navara layer renderer lines fall
from 189 to 0 and viewer lines from 891 to 849.
Adds a complete Swedish catalog (2,961 messages) and registers sv in the
locale list, catalogs, language picker and package boundaries. Browsers set
to Swedish get it at once; ?lang=sv or the language picker choose it
elsewhere. Numbers and dates come out Swedish from Intl.
- docs/translations/sv.md: style (imperative without a pronoun, closed
compounds, decimal comma, space before units and %) and the glossary.
- Entries that stay identical to English on purpose (codes such as HDG and
FOV, product, place and source names) are listed under sv in
same-as-english.json.
- The picker-order test places Svenska after Português.
- docs/CURRENT-STATE.md and docs/TRANSLATORS.md list the new language.
The translation comes from God's Eye View Sverige, a Swedish fork, and was
brought up to date with main (wildlife sightings, event age filter, traffic
styles and the rest).

Draw launch-pad zones as radial ground discs with the original fill, rim,
transitions, emission and depth bias. Drape Transit history and its backing
on ground corridors. Keep the current age bands and once-per-second updates;
advance the active head with a reveal fraction and rebuild only at segment
crossings. Its wider dark edge and colour core blend once, as on Cesium.
Navara composes these looks after tone mapping.
Build reveal corridors and dynamic Transit history synchronously once shared
terrain bounds are loaded. Keep requesting frames until the visible globe
tiles and committed primitives are ready: classification needs current
surface depth after a camera move. Retain the reference radial material,
its alpha envelope and the head's material-only reveal updates.
Remove the empty Navara ground effect from the render chain when the last
shown set is hidden or destroyed. It otherwise remains as the insertion
anchor for later pulse effects after its packed textures have been disposed.
Cover reveal, destruction and replacement with fresh-state comparisons for
corridors, polygons, discs and cells. Cesium drawing is unchanged by this fix.
Keep the radial pixel check at a 500 metre radius and 4 kilometre view,
sample the brightest of six inner points around the native fill gap, and
sample across the rim width. Restore its view during arrival flights and
run it last among ground checks. Both suite launchers wait for the linked
view to arrive before checking. Keep these checks with the radial look.
Pass rectangular pick windows and drill limits through input subscriptions.
Street Level uses its 9 pixel window and CCTV uses its 14 pixel window and
six-result drill. Down picks stay synchronous, moves coalesce per frame and
Navara clicks keep the GPU answer from their gesture. Add a projector
ellipsoid option and use WGS84 radii reduced by 1,000 metres for Street Level.
These changes restore the original Cesium pad fill and ground trail rather
than the temporary ring and raised lines. Navara follows the same appearance
and horizon policy, and now honours explicit CPU pick windows. Existing
callers without these options retain their defaults. The four debts share
the contract, suite and engine implementations, so keep them together.
No coupling count grew or fell: renderer lines remain 0 and 189, external
Cesium imports 3, external viewer lines 891, engine-kind checks 1, engine
resolution calls 0, extension reads 3, ground passes 1, SDK loads 3, screen
handler files 4 and engine-name lines 32.
The contract and ground suites now wait until the camera has reached the
view in their link before checking, because the app's restore flight could
land in the middle of a check; that was also the cause of the intermittent
camera-events failure. The radial check uses a launch pad's size and samples
the fill at several inner points: Cesium's own old pad leaves the same gap in
a small ground disc's fill. The pulse-band check takes its base frame once
the surface has settled.
Checked in the browser, keyless: the contract suite passes on both engines
(84 and 85 checks), the ground suite passes on both, CCTV v2 passes 58
checks, and the space, transit, Street Level and CCTV engine switches pass.
The transit and Street Level scripts fail as they do before this change.
With no aircraft tracked, Cockpit can ride the selected AIS vessel. Entry
needs only Live AIS Vessels and a selected vessel; C, double-click and the
entry buttons (reading BRIDGE with a ship icon) enter it, while voice stays
aircraft-only.
The eye sits on the AIS position at a representative bridge height for the
vessel's type family, looks along true heading and moves along course over
ground. The last fix is dead-reckoned for up to 180 s between the layer's
refreshes, and on rivers and lakes the waterline is read from the rendered
surface around the ship rather than the geoid.
The bridge HUD shows speed and course over ground, a straight heading
tape, window mullions, the AIS destination as a reported voyage and a
heading-up radar of nearby ships (3 to 24 NM). The arrow keys look around,
Home or 0 looks ahead again. The vessel layer hides the ridden ship's
sprite and card, ignores scene clicks while held, and returns the camera
to the vessel's map view on exit.
Draw distinct privacy cells in one ground set with taxon-coloured fills
at 25 percent opacity and two-pixel outlines at 80 percent opacity.
Restore the original Cesium ground appearance on both engines, replacing
the shared display's raised, depth-free outline. Ground classification
handles terrain, tiles and horizon occlusion; picks pass through.
Retain bounds-and-accent deduplication, unchanged-geometry reuse, selection,
wide-view removal and detach cleanup. Check the fill and outline on fake
and headless Cesium engines, and keep engine-switch ownership coverage.
Update the Wildlife switch check to read ground cells.
No coupling count fell or grew: all eleven metrics are unchanged, including
891 viewer lines and three external Cesium import files.
Checked in the browser, keyless: the Wildlife engine switch draws the cell
set on both engines; its keyboard step still meets the known Tab issue.
Add copied, committed segment batches to the contract, Cesium, Navara and
the fake engine. Keep each segment's colour, width and pick identity while
drawing one primitive or overlay mesh per display. Preserve Cesium's stem
sizes, ground sampling, visible cohorts, update cadence and click targets.
Navara draws the batch after tone mapping through the existing overlay.
Cover disconnected geometry, picks, hidden replacement, empty batches and
cleanup in the contract suite and engine tests. Keep the infrastructure
and cable display assertions on fake and headless Cesium engines, and
read batch counts and pick identities in the browser checks.
No coupling count fell or grew: all eleven metrics are unchanged, including
891 viewer lines, three external Cesium import files and 189 layer Navara
render lines.
Checked in the browser, keyless: the contract suite passes on both engines,
with the new segment picking and pixel checks; the infrastructure and
submarine-cable engine switches, the cable overlay and infrastructure LOD
scripts pass.
Exercise the real shell primitives and materials over the headless engine.
Cover raised rectangle geometry, alpha and depth policy, camera lift, shell
ordering, upload readiness, hidden frames, detail replacement and moved
windows, render idling and resource cleanup. Drive the public imagery API
through detail bounds and staged source settlement as well. Supply only the
geometry and texture completion signals that require a renderer.
Preserve Cesium's reference behavior without changing runtime code. Navara
and the fake engine are unchanged. Include the new test in the format scope.
All eleven coupling counts remain unchanged; none fell or grew. Renderer
lines remain 0 and 189, external Cesium import files 3, viewer lines 891,
Navara kind checks 1, engine-sniff calls 0, extension reads 3, ground passes
1, SDK loads 3, screen-handler files 4 and engine-name lines 32.
Move engine request ordering and the single rollback decision into the scene
host. Run handoff, renderer release, candidate acquisition, attachment,
restoration and settling in one transaction. Pass that transaction to nested
parts so unrelated calls wait without putting nested work behind itself.
Keep the engine-switch entry point as a delegating adapter.
Route direct shell attachment and detachment through the same host and remove
the shell queue. Serialize late part registration with attachment and release.
Keep failed-attachment cleanup and renderer release inside the transaction,
including failed restoration. Replacement applications share the transition
owner with fresh parts, and retired applications release their part registry.
A shell used alone creates its own scene host.
Preserve Cesium's picker and history ordering, single recovery, retained layer
session, cockpit restoration, hidden-tab settling and parked-renderer policy.
Navara keeps the same behavior. No user-visible change is intended on either
engine. Keep the existing behavioral assertions and cover concurrent operations,
failed cleanup followed by recovery, retired transaction handles, replacement
startup failure and parked expiry during a switch.
All eleven coupling counts remain unchanged; none fell or grew. Renderer lines
remain 0 and 189, external Cesium import files 3, viewer lines 891, Navara kind
checks 1, engine-sniff calls 0, extension reads 3, ground passes 1, SDK loads 3,
screen-handler files 4 and engine-name lines 32.
Checked on the keyless production build: the engine, Director and layer
handoff switches, app-once, and the rapid, hidden-tab, context-loss,
parked-release, failure-matrix and soak scenarios pass.
Main now ships an Iceland pack that loads the full live Vegagerðin list
(about 500 views) with its CC BY 4.0 credit. The World catalog's 166
Vegagerðin rows point at the same frames under different ids, so every one
of those cameras would be drawn twice. Drop them from the World export and
its loader policy; World is now 2,230 rows and the default catalog limit
7,350 (4,000 shared slots plus 3,350 reserved).
Register Data attribution entries for Ottawa, Québec, TripCheck and MLIT,
as every other CCTV pack has. MLIT's terms ask for the source in the form
"出典：国土交通省 川の防災情報" with the page link, and ODOT asks for
"Camera courtesy of ODOT"; TripCheck partner cameras keep their owner's
name in the label.
The Houston guard test from main checked the old 4,000 default ceiling;
check the 4,000 shared slots instead, like the other pack tests.
Give each scene attachment its own tracked readout, follow subscription,
selected context, active card identity and label-subject cache. Bind layer
context publishers to that attachment and preserve the page selection slot
and existing selection and awareness event payloads. Mirror a clear to the
page only when it clears the page selection. Capture display context
services so retired callbacks cannot publish into a replacement attachment.
Route aircraft, satellite, Local ADS-B and ALPR label refreshes and annotation
card lookup to the attached readout. Remove Local ADS-B contexts before
dropping its outgoing renderer, and mirror context pruning to the page.
Carry the retained page selection through the layer session when an attachment
is released. Adopt it only if the page still selects the same record, seed the
incoming readout on initialization, and replace its retained carrier when the
new display registers its marker. Keep the original page selection timestamp
and avoid a duplicate page selection event. A clear between attachments wins,
and page teardown still clears the selection. Seed the incoming readout from
that retained record without validating the outgoing display's visibility:
FIRMS waits for camera restoration before registering its new display. Keep a
matching selected fire in the refresh set before pruning top-N contexts, so
weaker selected detections retain the page selection too.
Preserve Cesium's label text, selected-card policy, visual anchors and
follow-camera anti-jitter. Navara retains the same shared behavior. There is
no intended user-visible change on either engine. Tests cover simultaneous
follows, identical selection IDs, independent refresh and clear, stale
notifications, destruction, parked reattachment and real layer publication
on the fake and headless Cesium engines. The production aircraft tests also
cover grounded fleet and tracked models, the display floor on both sides of
the zoom boundary, follow-label refresh and cached position reads. The fire
regression exercises the application scene handoff, delayed viewport resume,
top-N pruning, unchanged selection timestamp and deliberate clear on both
engines. These fixes preserve the reference Cesium selection behavior.
All eleven coupling counts remain unchanged; none fell or grew. The counts
remain 0 and 189 renderer lines, 3 external Cesium import files, 891 viewer
lines, 1 Navara kind check, 0 engine-sniff calls, 3 extension reads, 1 ground
pass, 3 SDK loads, 4 screen-handler files and 32 engine-name lines.
Checked in the browser, keyless: the overlay baselines on both engines, the
ALPR and FIRMS fire-camera switches, and the layer handoff, Local ADS-B,
Contacts, space, infrastructure, CCTV, urban, transit, directions and
annotation engine switches pass. The tracking regression passes every check
that passes before this change.
Move the world overlay into scene.services.overlay. Each attachment owns its
sources, collision domains, paint lanes, canvases, observers, timers and
accessible action subscribers. Keep both canvases inside the engine container,
with detection beside the card root so its screen blend still reaches the
scene. Release shared font measurements only after the last host detaches.
Resolve retained layer publications against their attached engine, clear the
outgoing source before releasing its renderer, and reconnect the shell's action
subscription on attachment. Keep destroyed hosts inert and give parked engines
fresh services. Bind annotation rectangles and the existing tracked bridge to
their engine's overlay. The tracked bridge itself remains page-owned.
Preserve Cesium's projection, card placement, arbitration, fades, hit tests,
blend order and render demand. Navara keeps the same shared behaviour. No
user-visible change is intended. Exercise simultaneous hosts, either teardown,
stale handles, reattachment and a retained selected card on the fake and
headless Cesium engines. Update QA reads and package ownership for the service.
No coupling metric falls or grows: renderer lines remain 0 Cesium and 189
Navara; external Cesium import files 3; viewer lines 891; Navara kind checks 1;
engine sniff calls 0; extension reads 3; ground passes 1; SDK loads 3;
ScreenSpaceEventHandler files 4; engine-name lines 32.
Each host now takes the page's overlay ids from the host it replaces and gives
them back to a remaining host when destroyed, and the chrome's static overlay
placeholders are gone. The new hosts had left the ids on those empty
placeholders, so the voice pointer policy, the id selectors and the QA probes
that read #world-overlay-canvas missed the drawn canvas.
Checked in the browser, keyless: the overlay baselines on both engines, CCTV
v2 (58 checks), military names, and the engine, voice, ground-layer and Ghost
Maps switches pass. The transit script fails the same 25 checks as before.
- Label repeat-collapse uses letter lookarounds instead of ASCII-only \b, so
'Þverá Árnessýslu' is no longer joined and 'séð séð' collapses.
- 'til austurs og vesturs' and 'í norður og suður' name two facings and keep
the low-confidence pose.
- Fallback name uses the frame stem when the station number is missing.
- Tests: label and heading regressions, dedupe keeps the last row, cap clamp,
high-confidence pose, frame redirect pin; file added to format scope.
- Credit names the dataset, links the terms and states no endorsement.
