Chat sits next to the mic in the command dock. Replies are silent and never
request the microphone; the first message connects with the selected provider
and runs the same map actions as voice through each provider's text API
(OpenAI OPENAI_CHAT_MODEL, Gemini GEMINI_CHAT_MODEL via generateContent, which
never starts Live). Only one mode runs at a time.
- Chat panel rendered by the voice control presenter: conversation, recent and
quick-command suggestions, Up/Down history, attachments (map-layer
references or small UTF-8 text files, sent only with the message)
- Chat and voice panels sit above the dock or dock into the right rail's
column; minimized bars sit centred above the dock, and height animates on
swaps
- A centred panel steps down to its bar for the Location and Visual Presets
trays without moving focus, rests above an open tray, and docks right while
expanded over one; it returns to the centre once the trays close
- Minimized voice previews the last sentence from each side; the empty Voice
Preview suggests things to say
- Settings opened from chat keep chat's frame and show the shared AI provider
and quick commands; voice Settings show Back to voice
- Closing chat ends a typed session; the voice panel's close turns voice off
- The dock widens its voice control for the chat button and restyles its
wings, which show icons only at 900px and below; assistant panels share the
left panels' glass, and Cyber keeps its own surfaces
- Server text-chat handlers with body, time and per-IP limits
(GEV_RATELIMIT_*_CHAT_PER_MIN), documented in SECURITY.md; tests and all
eleven locales

The catalog stored the designator on satrec.intldesg for
internationalDesignatorYear, while the active-TLE lookup parsed the same
columns with tleLineLaunchYear. Each catalog entry now keeps launchYear from
tleLineLaunchYear, which moves to src/sources/tle.js beside the other TLE
field readers, and internationalDesignatorYear goes.
A blank designator now reads as an unknown year in both lookups; the
active-TLE lookup read it as 2000.
The traffic timing test starts a Vite server rooted at the package, which
wrote its dependency cache to node_modules/.vite and kept writing after the
server closed. A host running Core's suite then finds files inside Core and
its check refuses them. The server now uses a temporary cache directory,
removed afterwards, and skips dependency discovery, which the SSR-loaded
modules never need.
The HUD place-lookup changelog note credits its PR, #1459.
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.
UiRail takes `collapsible`: while no panel on its side is open, each item
shows its icon and label as a pill, and once one opens the labels fold away
to the icon rail, making room for the panel. The tip is not shown while the
label is on screen; the button keeps its accessible name and the visible
label is hidden from assistive technology. The side panel rails turn it on.
Each rail is now placed by its screen-side edge, at the rail clearance, so a
rail that widens grows toward the middle of the screen; collapsed, it sits
6px outside its stack as before.
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.
The panel now renders from the CCTV store, so the meta line is no longer
written to a DOM node by _renderCctvState. Assert on presentCctvPanel's
meta text instead.
The application package boundary owns src/i18n/locales/ar.json beside the
other catalogs, and the style.css shim test checks that the shim holds only
import statements rather than counting its lines, so adding rtl.css to it
does not read as rules.
Selects pad the chevron's side with padding-inline-end, as do the Radio
filter, the SDR gain select and the voice timeout select, which set their
own padding; rtl.css moves the chevron to the left, where an Arabic field's
text ends. A rail legend's range keeps left-to-right order under its colour
ramp, which always runs low to high from left to right.
Main moved the UI to Vue views and Pinia stores, so the Arabic changes to
the old DOM controllers now live in their views: the rail legend range
comes from formatScaleRange (keeping units a source supplies as given),
the voice timeout options are worded by Intl unit formatting in
VoiceControl, and the scene editor's JSON fields stay left to right in
SceneDialog. Main's CCTV status line, launch panel and calibration values
keep the Arabic isolates and Western-digit formatting.
isolate() and keepCodesWithValues() read the locale through getLocale(),
which follows the page's vue-i18n instance, and the Intl formatters take
intlLocale(getLocale()). A language switch now applies in place, and
applyDocumentLanguage sets <html dir> on every switch, so the page mirrors
without a reload.
The icon rails and their tips are placed with logical properties, so they
stay on the outer side of the mirrored stacks; Cyber's new stack offsets,
padding and edge lines are logical too, and rtl.css moves Cyber's right
stack to its new rail clearance. Main removed the Context mini radio, so its
right-to-left rules and test go.
The Arabic catalog gains main's new strings and drops the ones main no
longer uses; the other catalogs keep main's new keys and the branch's
landing labels.
With the panel rails, the left stack's red edge line stood alone beside
the rail whenever no panel was open. It now shows only while a left panel
is open, and the right stack gains the mirrored line for its open panel.
The right stack takes the line and its gap without moving its panels, so
its rail sits outside the line like the left one.
A tall panel moves its stack to the focus or tail layout, and the rail
inside the stack went with it, so the Data Layers and Authoring buttons
jumped up and the right rail followed. Each layout pass now offsets the
rail back to the resting top, with the same transition as the stack, and
the right rail lines up with the left rail's buttons. Cyber pins the left
stack's top, so it flags that and the rail takes no offset.
Choosing a language in the picker now applies it at once. The choice is
stored and ?lang is kept in step through replaceState, and the picker keeps
focus.
Code that writes translated text itself re-presents it on a switch:
onLocaleChange() lets an owner listen, removed at teardown, and status
writers hand over a function of the locale (voice cards, scene director,
SDR, draw hints, imagery split, map sources, Bhote Koshi media) so the
words are rebuilt rather than re-sent. The HUD, cockpit, radio, CCTV,
launch, awareness and credit texts follow the same hook, and
applyDocumentTranslations can be applied again without undoing text code
wrote since.
The unsaved-work registry and persistLocaleAndReload existed only to guard
the reload, so they go, with their catalog entries.
Every data-i18n, data-i18n-title, data-i18n-aria-label and
data-i18n-placeholder marker in the Vue templates becomes a t() call with
the key the boot pass used to look up, contexts included. The three labels
the shell rewrote at boot (Visual Presets, Location and the standby
description) render through t() too, and that rewrite is gone. With the
locale in vue-i18n, view text now follows a locale change, and markup
under v-if or v-for no longer comes back in English when it re-renders.
Rendered text and attributes are unchanged in every locale. The boot pass
still translates static page markup such as the loading screen and a host's
own markup, and npm run i18n rejects data-i18n* in a Vue template.
The application views install one vue-i18n instance that holds the active
locale and the catalogs. src/i18n/index.js stays free of Vue: bindLocale()
keeps its locale in the instance's ref, so t(), tn() and the Intl formatters
read it from there and a view that translates while rendering renders again
when the locale changes. A tag written straight to the ref is normalized.
Message formatting, catalogs and call sites are unchanged, and switching
language still reloads the page.
The instance outlives the views: unmounting one no longer disposes it. The
browser build defines vue-i18n's feature flags and drops its message
compiler, which Core does not use.
The Cockpit display portal publishes the Display popover's slots to the
gev-display store while Cockpit is on, and the Display panel teleports its
HUD, Detection, Parameters and 3D groups into them and back, each only
while its own slot is published. The portal no longer moves the groups:
it keeps each surface's scroll position, puts back focus the move
dropped, and lays the surfaces out once Vue has moved them. The popover's
uses-shared-display-controls class renders from the store, and the right
rail no longer re-homes the parameters panel the markup already places.
PanelChrome, its collapse-preference restore and the phone shell read a
panel's disclosure state back from the gev-panel-chrome store
(_shownPanel), falling back to the markup's classes before the panel is
first presented, instead of reading the classes v-panel-state draws. The
share link and the phone shell share one rule for a panel the person keeps
closed (prefersCollapsed). The rails, the accordion and the hover
disclosure still read the classes, which the directive draws in the same
task as their layout.
