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

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.
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.
The Data, Authoring, Weather, Recent Imagery, Context, CCTV, Street Level
and Radio panels each wrote the same frame by hand. They are now one kit
component, UiPanel, with a title, badge/actions/default slots and
v-model:collapsed, drawing Core's panel markup and classes beside the kit's;
props cover the differences (sideways, glow, scroll, railScroller, tag,
toggleWords). RailPanel binds it to the panel chrome store: v-panel-state
writes its state classes at once, and its button's clicks reach PanelChrome.
UiPanelToggle is the collapse button UiPanel and PanelCollapseButton share.
UiPanel's collapsed drives the button and ui-panel--collapsed
only; the owner hides the body by writing the root's collapsed class, since
the rails measure a panel in the task that opens it. PanelCollapseButton
takes startCollapsed instead of initial and initialTitle, so a button shows
its state's glyph and words before startup presents the panel. Titles render
through t() instead of data-i18n, and the unused "Expand panel" string is
pruned. v-panel-state redraws the presented state after a re-render, in
case a root's class binding ever changes.
A weather source can describe its own products (credit, units, coverage,
legend) through an optional `display` object in each product manifest:
source, credit, units, coverage, info, legend and extent. The weather
layer uses each valid field in the row summary, legend, info text,
coverage navigation, outside-coverage status, layer stats and imagery
credit, and keeps today's built-in value for any field that is absent or
invalid. Units and legend describe one scale, so they apply only as a
valid pair; otherwise both keep their built-in values, and the radar
info heading names the units in use.
Text is single-line and length-capped. It rejects control characters
(U+0000-U+001F, U+007F-U+009F), line and paragraph separators, and
invisible or format characters: soft hyphen (U+00AD), combining grapheme
joiner (U+034F), Arabic letter mark (U+061C), Mongolian vowel separator
(U+180E), zero-width and direction marks (U+200B-U+200F), bidi embedding
and override (U+202A-U+202E), word joiner, invisible operators and bidi
isolates (U+2060-U+2069), variation selectors (U+FE00-U+FE0F), the
byte-order mark (U+FEFF) and tag characters (U+E0000-U+E007F).
Legends need 2-16 stops whose labels are plain decimal numbers or short
text and whose colours are #rrggbb. A number label must read back
exactly as the legend shows it: within the safe integer range, with no
leading zeros and no digits lost to rounding. Extents must be finite, in
range and non-empty. Supplied source and units text is data: the layer
marks it so the panels show it untranslated, while built-in values are
translated as before.
The imagery credit is escaped as plain text and follows a refreshed
manifest even when the shown frame stays the same. A refresh changes
only the credit: the shown frame keeps the snapshot it was staged from,
so a later host switch restages it with its own time and bounds and the
refreshed credit. Manifests without `display`, including the bundled
nowCOAST ones, render exactly as before.
The Cockpit controller no longer writes the HUD's instruments, the flight
plan card, the visor's destination arrow or the vision selector. It keeps
them as plain state, starting from cockpitInstrumentState.js, and
publishes copies to the gev-cockpit store: the instruments on every HUD
update, the route only when it changed, the vision selector when the mode
changes. CockpitView renders the callsign, aircraft meta and emergency
mark, speed and altitude rims and ticks, compass tape, clock, position,
HUD layer, destination arrow and vision selector; a new CockpitRoute
component renders the flight plan card inside the briefing card.
The odometer readouts become CockpitRollingValue components. Their
throttle and digit roll move unchanged from setCockpitRollingValue into
cockpitRollingValue.js: every accepted reading restamps the throttle, a
change inside it is dropped, and each accepted change draws fresh glyphs
so the roll animation restarts. A rim tick with no reading still hides
where it stood, and a hidden arrow keeps its last angle and label.
In a dev build the HUD's Vue patch costs about 0.5 ms per update (1.4 ms
at 4x CPU throttle), against 0.4 ms (2.1 ms) for the DOM writes it
replaces, at about 10 updates a second.
The catalog now passes the gnss-integrity source's windowMs to the layer.
A missing, non-finite or non-positive value keeps the 30-minute default.
The row text now names the window the layer uses instead of a fixed 30 min.
Each side stack hosts a Vue rail listing its panels; selecting one opens it
through PanelChrome. The shell owns one Vue runtime and Pinia instance, and a
panel store mirrors each side's panels from the DOM. The rail hides with its
stack, in Cockpit, clean view and recording, and on phones. Panels without a
catalog entry get a generic item, and Data Layers leaves the rail while the
f shortcut hides it.
The CCTV layer kept every loaded camera live: each view change touched every
icon, every notification rebuilt every camera's state, and the picker listed
the whole catalog. With the default 4,000 cameras, a continental drag ran at
152-179 fps with 18-24 frames over 30 ms (worst 112 ms). It now runs at
235 fps with none. The layer now:
- shows icons only on or near the screen, and when zoomed out keeps one camera
per world-anchored cell (healthy feeds first), so panning keeps the same
cameras;
- grounds and draws coverage only for the cameras in view, the active camera
and its coverage neighbours, retrying a camera at most twice per view regime;
- reruns the view pass while the camera moves, paced by its own cost, and
projects with one matrix per pass instead of a Cesium call per camera;
- keeps the billboard buffer-usage hint fixed, so showing or hiding a few
icons no longer rewrites the vertex data of every billboard;
- lists the cameras in view (active camera first) in the picker, closing with
the count of cameras outside the view, and builds the full camera list in
the UI state only when it is read.
Adds the Authoring labels and tooltips to the de, fr, it, ja, pt and uk
catalogs that arrived from main, and prunes the retired SCENES-era
entries there. The file row's tighter padding and letter spacing keep
one long translated word per line in the narrow Cyber panel
(IMPORTIEREN, ESECUZIONE, ІМПОРТУВАТИ, EJECUCIÓN).
main gained de, fr, it, ja, pt and uk catalogs that still carried the 12
strings this change retires, so their catalog-matches-code tests failed
once the branch met main.
Apply the accepted findings from the fourth three-model French review:
« Fermez d'abord cet outil » in the pointer-busy notices, the colon form
« Outil actif : {name} » for the directions notice, « FOV CONSTRUCTEUR »,
« RAPPORT » for the USGS trigger chip, « CONTEXTE GLOBAL DÉSACTIVÉ », and
wording fixes for the radio, recent imagery, bundle preview and draw label
strings. The guide gains glossary rows for the datasheet FOV and for
rapport versus relevé.

Apply the accepted findings from the third three-model French review:
tool-name agreement (« Outil actif : {name} »), elision before ADS-B,
« GORGE AVAL », « CLASSIQUES », « EN SURVOL », one name for the VIIRS
daily overview, U+202F thousands separator, and wording fixes for the
scene editor, directions, radio tuner and status strings.
The CCTV HUD summary now shows its CAL badge, source kind and view band
through existing catalog entries, so French reads « CAL ESTIM. INITIALE ·
SRC AMONT · CONTEXTE RUE »; English output and unknown codes are
unchanged. presentation.js matches the pt branch's round-3 version byte
for byte, so the two branches merge cleanly.

Apply the accepted findings from the three-model French review: ground
track reads « route », wildfire containment « circonscrit », downrange
« distance au sol », tankers « navire-citerne », plus wording fixes for
lanes, timestamps, wind sector, radio, CCTV and voice strings.
Shots rebuilt by a pack's legacy bootstrap carry no sourcePackId, so the
first Nepal shot titles stayed English; the scene's applied-pack marker
now vouches for the pack's required titles.

Shorter wording where the French text ran out of its button, chip or
collapsed card at 1600×1100: the DATA LAYERS launcher (COUCHES), Recent
Imagery buttons and hints (CETTE VUE, VS CARTE, EXP. A), the ENABLING /
DISABLING layer chip, the voice detail line and the location search
placeholder. Also the CCTV range readout gets a space before m, the radio
privacy note reads naturally, and the cockpit air/sea window is shorter.

- Translate the remaining 1,865 strings: aviation, maritime (AIS), weather
and remote-sensing terms, radio, routing, scenes, voice and setup.
- Review the 862 entries from #907: LIVE becomes DIRECT / en direct, stale
becomes obsolète, FIRMS detections are feux actifs, replay is rejeu, the
AIS ship types use the French terms (PILOTINE, SERVITUDE, POLICE), keys
stay Space / Esc / Enter as docs/TRANSLATORS.md asks, and NEXT/PREVIOUS
chips match PREV (SUIV. / PRÉC.).
- French typography: narrow no-break space before : ; ? ! and %, inside
« », and … for ellipsis; plural entries get the many form (exact
millions, "de").
- same-as-english.json: codes, units, genre and product names that French
spells the same as English.

The French locale by abiyeenzo (#907), converted from its namespaced JS
catalogs to the English-keyed fr.json: 862 entries whose English still
matches the current UI.
