An application subject's camera step is now capped at its own update
interval plus 0.1 s rather than at 0.1 s, so at 500 ms its heading slew,
ground lift and anchor correction run at their configured rates; a long
stall still moves it no further than one late update. The built-in
views keep their 0.1 s cap.
When groundClamp turns false the lift the floor gave goes at the rate
it came, not at once. A HUD view with no speed has no speed readout,
and a progress line with no summary is hidden from assistive
technology instead of being an unnamed image.
A ride let go with restore focuses its train again. When the train's
category was turned off during the ride, or for a copy another feed draws,
focusTrain selected and followed a train with no marker. It now returns
false for a train in a category turned off or hidden as another feed's
copy, and leaves the selection and the camera as they are.
The duplicate filter hid a held copy when another feed's copy outranked it
and moved the selection away, so the held train stopped playing and the
other copy's marker and card came back over the view. A copy a first-person
view holds is now drawn whatever the scores until the view lets go; the
better copy takes over at the next poll after the release. Holding a copy
that another feed drew draws it at once.
A category toggle no longer deselects a held train, and a held train keeps
playing, its marker hidden, while its category is off. Released, it is
deselected and stops as the toggle leaves any other train.
Says so where the cockpit subject section names them, together with
path.line, and that a snapshot read again while nothing changed is the one
read before, so a provider may read one on every update.
The copy keeps the path's fields with its number arrays as frozen arrays,
so pointAtS and projectOnPath read it as they read the path and nothing
written to it reaches the layer. It is built once per line and shared by
every snapshot on that line, so reading it on every frame costs nothing.
getSelectedTrain, getSelectedVehicle and getCockpitSubject fill drafts and
freeze a new object only for a part whose values changed, so a view that
reads them on every frame builds nothing while the train or vehicle stands
still, and a moving one keeps its feed, stop and provenance objects. A
train's stops are copied once per list the stops provider returns, each
stop a frozen copy, instead of on every call.
Provider methods and worded members are called on the provider itself,
so a class-based provider works. A hold that answers false refuses entry
and is released; any answer but true or false refuses it too, released,
with one warning. An answer whose `then` getter throws is handled as a
throw, and a text cut at its cap never leaves half an emoji.
- A subject with no height at all waits at most
COCKPIT_GROUND_WAIT_TIMEOUT_MS for the floor, its HUD updating and
reading ACQUIRING SURFACE; then the view ends and the provider gets its
subject back (there is no height of its own to fall back to).
- A hold that returns a promise is refused as before and released again
once it settles, unless that subject is being ridden by then; release
must tolerate a second call.
- Rail and Transit stamp selectedAtMs only for a user's selection (a click,
focusTrain or focusVehicle); a deselection clears it, and a train or
vehicle selected only by a hold reads null.
- Labels, entry face and look may be functions, read again on every use
and on a locale change; a failing read keeps the last good value.
- A frame with no height keeps the eye's last height, or waits
(surfaceAcquiring) until the floor is known; heights outside
-1,000..50,000 m read as null.
- Provider methods are synchronous: a returned promise is refused like a
throw, and a hold that fails is released.
- A candidate may carry selectedAt; Rail and Transit stamp selectedAtMs
on every selection, so re-selecting moves a subject to the front.
- A released Transit vehicle leaves the visible set at once.
- docs/CURRENT-STATE.md states the new entry order; docs/APPLICATION.md
documents cockpit subjects, ./i18n/locale and ./layers/rail/paths.
GEV itself registers no new subject: with no provider, the Cockpit offers
aircraft, satellites and vessels as before, except that the most recently
selected of them now wins entry.
- services.cockpitSubjects: providers ({kind, layerId, entryFace, priority,
isEntryAllowed, read, hold, release, hud}) are checked once by the
coordinator; frames and HUD views on every update; a throwing provider
ends its view or keeps the last HUD.
- Entry: the most recently selected subject wins, across all kinds.
- Camera: a frame may turn the ground clamp off, anchor exactly on the
subject and update every frame.
- A generic HUD: kicker, title, cards, always-visible source rows, banner,
a veil with light streaks (off under reduced motion) and a bottom
progress line whose close ticks merge.
- Text comes from the provider, already in the page's language
(./i18n/locale: getLocale, onLocaleChange).
- Rail and Transit read and hold APIs (getSelectedTrain/Vehicle,
getCockpitSubject, setCockpitSubject, focusTrain/Vehicle); a held
train's marker, card and route line are hidden, and its feed keeps
polling while held.
- ./layers/rail/paths is exported.
Zoomed out, a hotspot's reports give way to its beacon, and the cards an application draws through pictureCards went with them; they came back only once the camera had stopped after zooming in. The cards now come from every report the close-up view would mark, at any height; the layer's own markers and beacons are unchanged.
The browser stamped every trip-updates answer as just read. While an
operator's feed fails, the rail proxy replays its last good copy for up to
ten minutes, and a cached copy can be a TTL old, so those delays never
reached RAIL_UPDATES_MAX_AGE_MS and a selected train's card showed them as
current. Delays now take their age from the snapshot's fetchedAt (capped
at now), as positions do in ingestion.js, so they stop applying 75 s after
the server last read the operator.
TaM publishes km/h where GTFS-Realtime asks m/s, and the Transit layer's
entry for the same feed already sets speedUnit: 'km/h'. The Rail entry did
not, so the proxy passed the readings through and the card multiplied them
by 3.6 again: a tram at 30 km/h read about 108 km/h. A registry test now
requires a Rail feed that Transit also reads to declare the same unit.
createNewsLayer takes a pictureCards(cards, { selectedId }) function; createApplicationCatalog passes it through newsOptions. With it, the layer paints no picture cards of its own and hands the function one card per pictured event on the map, most severe then newest first, with the selected report's id; it hands no cards when the layer turns off.
Shorter comments, changelog and CURRENT-STATE text for the 502 outage
path; the CURRENT-STATE paragraph now also names the 429 exception and
which budget expiry answers busy and which answers 502. Text only.
Core's catalog passes worldClock.timeFor('news') as the layer's now, so a host that follows the clock for News can show a past time's reports with their ages, window and counts as they were then. Core does not follow the clock for the layer, so it keeps reading the wall clock.
Live trains from 30 keyless operator feeds: GPS positions from 29 and
Irish Rail's station reports, shown as the operators publish them. 28
work out of the box; Renfe long and medium distance and KTMB appear once
their pack is built, because their vehicles name no route.
Packs are opt-in (scripts/build-rail-paths.mjs): the operator's own
route lines, stop names, next stops and trip-update delays for live
trains. Nothing downloads when the app starts, no train is placed from a
timetable, and no request carries a deployer's key.
Applying the rest of a posted view after the camera was taken during its
terrain wait still let it change the camera: stop_tracking dropped a follow
the user had just started, and annotate_map framed the view's marks. A
camera taken during the wait now ends the view again, as before. The 2 s
terrain timeout and the per-view catch on the queue stay.
- The look-at longitude wraps fully, so a tilted camera at a pole gives a
point on the globe. The strict off-globe check on street_level is undone:
points are clamped again, as before.
- A posted view that fails is answered, and the views behind it still apply.
- A posted view waits at most 2 s for the terrain under its camera, then
keeps its own estimate.
- A camera taken during that wait stays where it is: the rest of the view
applies, and only its photos stand down.
- show_street_level keeps a search or a press on the globe made during its
own flight: it adopts only its own navigation stamps on landing, and a
gesture is never forgiven.
Main added a Swedish catalog in #1630, so the catalog test failed on the
strings this PR adds. They use the catalog's terms (Gatunivå, nyckel,
bilder på gatunivå, vyns mitt).
- Releasing a held viewer frees the old source's adapter without resetting
the panel, so a replacement's error, outcome and armed OPEN survive; a
cross-source replacement drops the old photo's details and marker.
- The action holds the open photo only for its own switch-off: a source
switched by hand during the load stops it and reports cancelled.
- A posted view waiting on terrain watches the camera and stands down after a
navigation or a globe press; a flat or straight-down camera asks no terrain.
- An arming link opens the panel without persisting the layout, and a posted
view's street-level step runs as programmatic.
- An off-globe street_level point throws TypeError.
- zh-Hant uses the file's wording for the new strings; README and
CURRENT-STATE count 35 tools.
Translate the 148 strings main added since (mostly the News layer) and
prune the 5 it no longer uses; keep both Hebrew and Swedish in the
language lists.
- SECURITY.md: OPEN also takes the link's point when the screen centre
cannot be picked at all.
- TOOLS.md: the panel's own link opens Street View only for a result issued
in the last five minutes; an older one only arms.
- Changelog: the hiding modes stop a request, collapsing the panel does not;
failure cards are in the interface language.
- CURRENT-STATE: a posted view without a point grounds its look-at too.
show_in_gods_eye_view measured a view's altitude from the terrain before
taking the point the camera looks at; a view posted straight into the
embedded app used the ellipsoid altitude, so a camera over high ground
opened photos kilometres ahead. groundedLookAt moves to the view module,
and the embedded app uses it with the app's terrain heights for a posted
street_level that names no point.
A provider that threw while geocoding (offline, an upstream down) escaped
the action as a bare error. show_street_level now reports it as its
location stage ("Could not arrive at …", the cause in detail), and nothing
is switched or looked up; fly_to_location itself is unchanged.
The voice card showed English for show_street_level failures the catalog
did not know: a missing key, a map or source that could not be switched on,
the layer, invalid coordinates, an imagery fallback and the filter clause.
They now translate like the other action errors (exact messages and
patterns in speech.js), in all twelve languages; the spoken line stays
English, and the filter clause names the filters as their chips do.
