- qa-anime-sky keeps only the Milky Way case; the satellites and keyless
cases checked an anime shader this branch no longer changes.
- Drop qa-sky-sun-moon.mjs: the viewer-options unit test covers it.
- VisualEffects sets the sky's visibility directly: the viewer always
carries a StarrySky and never outlives the effects.
- Drop the unused star intensity knob, the malformed-row tolerance for
our own pack, the test-only Transforms parameter and a private-name test.
- DATA_SOURCES points to sky/README.md instead of repeating it.

Scene reads skyBox._cubeMap as the environment map that lights models, in
the TEME, flipY layout of Cesium's own sky box; the ICRF Milky Way would
light them rotated. Rename the field so models keep Cesium's default.
Test the anime fade on a real StarrySky and that the viewer gets the sky
as an option (skyBox: false would drop the Sun and Moon). Correct three
comments on the star limit and the Milky Way levels.

The fine 0.4 degree blur kept the residual glow of unresolved stars as
mottled patches at the band's edges. Blend towards a 2 degree blur where
the coarse copy is faint (smoothstep over 0.5-8 % of the range), so the
core keeps its dust lanes and the faint sky goes smooth. Faces 85 -> 62 kB.

Away from the galactic plane the ESO panorama keeps a mottled glow of
unresolved stars and dust. With the black level at the darkest quarter of
the sky and a hard cut, it showed as grey clouds with black holes around
the globe. The black level now sits at the median sky and eases in with a
soft knee on luminance, keeping each pixel's hue: high galactic latitudes
are black, the band keeps its glow. Faces shrink from 247 to 85 KB.
The changelog fragment also notes the anime fade and the new asset weight.

- VisualEffects.destroy() puts skyBox.milkyWayVisibility back to 1, as it
already restores the borrowed bloom stage, so a surviving viewer does not
keep a faded sky.
- Rename scripts/qa-anime-space-mask.mjs to qa-anime-sky.mjs: rewrite the
header for the current approach, drop --space-expr and --repo, import
puppeteer as a package, reject unknown cases and count the milkyway case
as reached only while the anime stage is on.
- Put both sky QA scripts under format:check.

The far-plane mask in the anime shader read the post-process depth, which
cannot tell the sky from far geometry: with a layer that clamps the near
plane to 0.1 m (satellites) the whole Earth lost its cel bands, keyless
terrain above the ellipsoid horizon did too, and the atmosphere, Sun and
Moon stopped banding.
Restore the anime shader from main and fade the Milky Way glow with the
style instead: VisualEffects sets skyBox.milkyWayVisibility to
1 - anime intensity. scripts/qa-anime-space-mask.mjs checks all three
cases headless and that the anime sky shows no bands.

refreshCctvFocusStyles passes cameraColorFor as baseColorFor, but only
refreshCoverageStyles was tested. The new rendering.test.mjs runs the
focus pass through createRendering with stubbed focus services and
checks that an idle video camera fades from violet, a still from cyan
and the active camera from amber. It fails if the focus callback goes
back to the old active/idle check. Also adds the missing semicolon on
the policy.js import in cctv.test.mjs.

- Pass the custom sky box to the Viewer instead of `skyBox: false`, which
also stopped CesiumWidget from creating the Sun and the Moon. Guarded by
scripts/qa-sky-sun-moon.mjs.
- Outside the IAU 2006 tables (before 1975, after ~2050) the preload
resolves without data; remember that span and stay on TEME instead of
preloading and rendering every frame.
- The anime style no longer cel-shades the far plane, where four bands
turned the faint Milky Way into blotches.
- Paint the planets out after the star-removing opening and with the
ring median, so no brighter plateau is left; faces rebuilt.

Cesium's default Tycho-2 sky box is six 1024² JPEGs stretched 3–6× around
the whole-globe view, so space read as an over-compressed JPEG (HAL-627).
The scene now draws its own sky in the Scene#skyBox slot: the 9,096 stars
of the Yale Bright Star Catalogue as point sprites sized in CSS pixels
(magnitude → width and opacity, B−V → colour), over a soft, star-free
Milky Way cube map built from ESO/S. Brunier's panorama (CC BY 4.0). Both
layers share one ICRF→Earth-fixed rotation at the scene clock, with the
TEME rotation filling in until Cesium's IAU 2006 tables load.
Assets total 482 KB, built by scripts/build-bright-stars.mjs and
scripts/build-milky-way.mjs. Frame time and the idle render governor are
unchanged.

AIS sends ship types as ITU-R M.1371 codes, so vessels_in_area grouped
"70", "74" and "79" as three types, and type: "tanker" matched nothing on
feeds that send codes. Codes now read as the family the vessel cards already
show (CARGO, TANKER, TUG), for rows, group_by and the type filter. The code
table moves to src/data/vesselTypes.js, which has no i18n import, so the
server-side tools can use it; vesselLabels re-exports it.
A destination with no letters ("0", "---") now counts as unknown.
Live, Singapore: "most by type: CARGO (3), TANKER (3), PASSENGER (1)"; "how
many tankers near Singapore" found 3.

Reconcile #880 with current main. Delegate the view-state builder while keeping enabled-only layers, disabledLayerCount, provenance, context semantics, and existing voice behavior. Add parity and roster-read regressions; retain package export, boundaries and changelog fragment.
Preserve original GEV voice, layer and packet contributor credit.
Carry reviewed #816 onto current main without conflicts; preserve i18n updates, replace obsolete changelog edit with a fragment, and add a constructor-wiring regression alongside the owner and rail tests.
Credit: raysung-2026 (report), asturksever (review), quanticsoul4772 (Windows diagnosis).
Main now takes release notes as one fragment per pull request (#787). The browser asks Google through /api/google/geocode, so the no-geocoder-request check now watches that route.
Windows runs npm.cmd through a shell, and passing an argument array with `shell: true` is deprecated in Node 24 (DEP0190). Every `npm run doctor` and every Pinokio install on Windows printed the warning. npmProcessSpec now takes the npm arguments and, on Windows, joins them into the command string; the arguments are fixed subcommands (`--version`, `ci`). Unix behavior is unchanged.
The flights records and the mesh-floor sampler kept identical copies of the equirectangular distance; both now import src/data/approxDistance.js. The changelog entry moves to changelog.d (#787), and CURRENT-STATE notes the antimeridian behaviour.
